Mines are in. They will be even more fun because in the actual game they will be cloaked.
The next step will be to implement mine detection for the player.
Feels kind of redundant, like if mine and mine detection cancel each other out, then let's like not implement either of them and i am already finished.. nice.

My preferred way is that you have Real World Map as default, but also have the option to randomize the "New World". That way you can perhaps build upon the generator.

>Proc Gen 1:
Shuffle the location of "new world" factions

>Proc Gen 2:
Randomize the factions that can appear. Add the default factions and also some "fictional" nations. For example if your "new world" is Americas, include "Norse Tribe" as a rare possible faction. Or a "New Egypt" (one Egyptian pharao made an exodus to god knows where IRL, perhaps he went to America in that possible scenario).

>Proc Gen 3:
Simulate a bit of history for them to make their situation look more "logical" and "believable".

>Proc Gen 4:
Implement procedural landmass generation.

Guys, if you started to make ARPG 3rd person today and your game is being released in 2 years, would you go for 4k textures? Many games go 4k today but those are mostly AAA games. Should average game (think indie $500k project) in 2 years be 4k ready?

Turn Kirby into a girl with a white dress and skimpy underwear. Instead of sucking air she flashes the enemy and attracts them to her that way. If they have a power, she gains it and wears an equally flashy outfit themed around that power. If they don't have a power, she doesn't get an outfit and temporarily goes nude.

This is what I want to do this time. Before I kept getting depressed because I was trying to get the animations to be perfect from the first try, but I guess I shouldn't worry about polishing and just try and progress with my mechanics.

Found a way to reduce the amount of platforms in the game, while keeping the levels look exactly the same. Before, each level contained an average of about 850 platforms. With this new method, I've reduced it to about half that, and the level still looks the exact same.

Not really. People use GLFW instead of SDL to set up their context and get basic input/window events because SDL does too much, GLFW just does the basics.

>>151742216
SDL just creates you a window and then prints images to it.

You have to write loaders, collision detection, physics etc. So I don't consider it an engine.

That's not what tutorials are for, they're supposed to teach you concepts that you can apply yourself. However that assumes that you actually want to learn something and don't want to be a kiddo by copy-pasting snippets of code into your project and hoping they work

Do you first come up with a game mechanic and try to get a story that works for it, or first come up with a story and setting and only then think of a mechanic that would fit it?

What about the setting first over a mechanic? For example what style will the game be, what will be the general architecture, looks etc. Will there be indoor levels, outdoor ones. what enemies? Mechanical, humanoid, beasts etc. What will the theme be.

Should I atleast get a rough estimate of this before doing mechanics, or again, just worry about the mechanics first and then try to build a setting around it?

Never said it's a bad program. It's as good as any 3D modelling program for all I know.

If a new user starts up a program can't use it for basic functionality, it's probably because the program wasn't designed to function intuitively.

Once you master it, sure, it might be great. But you're going to put off a lot of people with just having unintuitive design.

Which is exactly what vim does.

>>151743869
>without googling how to do so.
Or you go into options like you do every single game and program and figure out that it's a simple check box.

I swear people who bitch about blender are the same people who play a game for 5 minutes and then leave a long-winded review of it on Steam.

Come up with a base story idea.
Figure out a genre for it.
Build the backbones of the game based off genre conventions (preliminary systems, temporary assets, etc.)
See if it's fun to play.
If it is, keep going and flesh out everything.

>>151744136
There's no harm in coming up with a story/setting first as long as you put your focus on making the gameplay good, and adapt the story to fit it if necessary.

Up to you, not everyone have the same priorities.

For me I choose to desing mechanics/style first and then make the game around those mechanics.

>What about the setting first over a mechanic?

Think of how many games there are these days where they've been opened up to modding by the community. The community takes the core gameplay and game mechanics, and change the story and setting of the game... Because the important part of the game is the gameplay.

If you don't have any ideas for gameplay then consider making a film or something instead.

My personal mentality is "Each project is an excuse to learn and grow".
I don't really go in planning to finish them so much as to at least take something new from the project, after I've learned to use it pretty well, that I can carry on to future projects.
Its kind of selfish I suppose. But I do it as a hobby anyways, so its not really like people should invest in interest anyways in my opinion? But I'm kinda digging my own grave with that logic.
Its starting to wear thin though. I'm getting to a point where I really, really need to just shut up and settle down with a project of some kind, even a small one, if it means finishing it for once.

>>151744904
I've never done a Jam, but the next one might be the first I do.

Another reason I abandon a lot of this is because I start a new project to test something, learn a better approach to code, but then don't want to go through the horribly painful process of refactoring and re-implementation. Especially true for the JRPGs. What a disaster.

>>151751310
How about a larger transparent texture that sits right on the sprite you have there. When that particular animation is played, it also attaches the larger frame with just the ribbon extension, and gets removed when the animation ends. To that end, you can then use that rope at the end as a separate layer, and the char will simply spin around on the layer over.

Layering the rope will allow you to freely adjust long it can get.

Layering the ribbon just past the hand will allow you to go wild with the motion.

It might not look pretty in a gif as 3 parts, but you're definitely going to use it in a 2d game, so it won't stay a .gif forever right?

After adding mines I had to add a way to deal with them, so here is the mine sweeper gadget.
But I will make it not too plentiful, since that would make mines pointless to have as they would be too easy to get rid off. I will add some cheaper but more crappy way to find them, something like metal detector.

How long should my studio logo pop up for before the main menu?

30 seconds? 1 minute?

I could sit and watch him try his hardest but never accomplish anything for hours

Love your game from what i see tho looks cute and comfy

>>151753984
3 seconds, tops.
And you should be able to mash keys to instantly get past it.

It looks distorted when you look up

>>151746609
Yeah full time neet, working for myself, not a company

Would rather work at some shit software company than a pro gamedev studio

>>151754207
What looks distorted? The webm convertor eats lots of clarity from the picture

>>151754321
I don't know, everything looks curved. I had a similar problem in Blender but I don't remember how I solved it

>>151754054
Thanks anon

Is there any fraps-like tool that will record gameplay straight to webm?

>>151754321
>>151754383
Looks like it has a very high FOV. Some people are more sensitive to it than others.

>>151754321
Remember that Hiroshima lets you get 3mb of webm space per post, try to use it.

>>151752376
Thats the same guy who said not to put an elbow in your ear. He just tries to make headlines. What science has come to.

I have an nvidia gpu, so I just record shit with shadowplay and jam it into webm for retards.

WebMCam

>>151754383
I don't really see anything like that
>>151754505
It's possible, i use large fov so i can see around better.
But the fov can be changed in the settings anyway so it doesn't really matter
>>151754521
I am using ffpemg and i am pretty happy with it, i could easily compress it at a higher bitrate but i was too lazy to fine tune the settings for the sake of one video that will be gone in couple of hours anyway

My gf was here for an hour before we had sex :/

>>151752410
I have definitely seen the exact same questions posted here and on Reddit.
