>activate item
>create startTime variable, equal to getTime()
>effect lasts 20 seconds
>check if startTime < getTime() - 20 seconds
>if so, turn item off

This works, but if the player pauses the game, the time continues to increase, so the item could wear off while the game is paused. Is there a better way to do it?

but why

I have another question. Does anyone know a good program for group management. We're are only a team of four, but still proper team organization seems very important, and I am the only one there used to working on larger projects. I am planning on just running it like any other agile project.

Unfortunately the program we use at work for project organization is a payed program that they won't give me a copy of for personal use.

Just use a Google Sheets?

Way less documentation. UE4AnswerHub is annoyingly vacant and more than half the questions have no real answer.

With Unity I can google something and find an answer for it.

>>151869814
If the artist takes more time than me as the script writer I will be surprised. Even if I write at a quick pace I'm looking at 200 days minimum for a full first draft, and that's if we scale back the overall size. More likely gonna be 10 months or so of script writing, and another 6 of editing.

I also, as the script writer, am unsure if /agdg/ would at all be interested in my updates, as they would come in the form of massive text files of dialogue trees.

I do know one thing that /agdg/ is interested in. I am delivering the character profiles for the five heroines to my artist tonight (there are done, just have to send them after work). I am guessing /agdg/ would be interested in waifus at the very least.

I honestly am unacquainted with /agdg/ culture.

None of that is sorted out. Very much a gameplay first way of doing things.
The dog has the bandana because the scientist creating him had his beloved actual shibe die by getting run over by a car, so he passed on the dogginess and bandana to the robot thing he was working on.

You don't really. In my experience writers are narcissistic idiots who want large amounts of creative control. Because of the fact you can tell if a writer switches & because they can easily withhold information they hold a lot of power. A lot of writers are extreme douche bag narcissists unfortunately.

Go to an actual freelancer if you want someone who won't throw a hissy fit and dick you over OR a friend.

I plan to only post Questions/Progress. Drama Queening and Tripfagging for attention is cancer, always has been. Thank you for informing board culture here is not much different from /tg/.

Can't be bothered cross-thread linking, but for the person who asked why Unity input is so shit it's because it only polls the mouse per draw frame, which results in extremely displaced controls if the frames drop too much. In a properly-made engine input polling would be done regardless of rendering.

Stop talking about things from the perspective of how it relates to you. Its hard when talking about progress posts, but look how many times you said "I" in this post.

Also don't waste our time with filler. Its annoying to read through a tripfag jerking off over their prose.

Keep your own time with an increment int when the game is unpaused. A long int lasts a thousand years or something at 60fps

I tried to make the caterpillars stop floating a pixel off the ground when they're moving left and they didn't like it. Subsequent efforts have proven just as useless.
But hey they're animated now!

Game Maker user here. Having issues with upscaling the resolution of my game:

>surface_resize(application_surface,resolution*384,resolution*216);
>window_set_size(resolution*384, resolution*216);
>window_set_position(display_get_width()/2-(resolution*384)/2,display_get_height()/2-(resolution*216)/2);

The code itself works fine, but when the window size changes it creates a blank copy of the window that doesn't actually exist on the desktop (since you can drag another window over that blank one and the space under the dragged window disappears). I'm not sure why it's doing that now, unless it's due to an update in GM:S, and I'm not sure how to stop it happening every time the player changes the game's window size.

>want to make character this
>can only manage this

but it's coming along i guess. I keep telling myself i have to do the modeling+rigging+animation before i can start implementing unity that way i go in with a good understanding of what i can and can't do with my models.

>but that's nodeving anno

I know, i know, i have a dozen models like this some slightly different with different technics and starting points.

Gameplay is already hammered out in my head, and i'd prefer to go in Unity or Unreal working out coding while having a mostly functional model to use.

>But unreal/unity has easily accessible models with rigs and animations

but they're not MY rigs or animations, i go in staring at a billion different control points and options having to figure shit out through trial and error, and even then at some point i'll have to use my own models anyways.

Only gameplay aspect i haven't decided on yet is if i want the equipment to be done in parts (legs/chest/arms/head) or just use full on model swaps.

I still haven't fully wrapped my head around gear changing in terms of technique when it comes the model/rig. Not to mention the lack of tutorials on this matter.

Would i just segment this model into the pieces i want and export them separately? Using blender can i just put them on different layers and they'll xfer over?

Look up delta time. It's a fundamental concept for games programming.
So something like

float timePassed = 0;
timePassed += dt;
if (timePassed > 20) then turn off item and reset timePassed to 0 etc.

and
>calling update() multiple times per frame.
Don't do this

>>151884939
I know what delta time is. I'm using a fixed delta time for all the physics and movement in my game.
>Don't do this
I'm just doing what /agdg/ says. Though I guess that's not always a good idea, is it?

>>151884668
Hey that looks nice, I'd like to know how you did your isometric drawing routine, do you just redraw everything within the camera every step? How do you solve depth sorting and stuff like that?

>>151885143
>Honestly, I've been trying for weeks to fix it, but either it runs too fast/slow at a certain FPS,
Then your timestep code is not working at all.

>>151885024
Obviously. I was responding to:
>Main characters should be thoughtless blank slates because focus more on gameplay instead of a main character asshole
because that makes for a game I'm less likely to play. To each their own, I guess.

How many different items do you plan on having in inventory? If not many, you could go for a selection wheel + slowdown of the game while the inventory is open, instead of full pause.

why even live

In Game Maker, how can I make an orb which is constantly floating above the player which he can fire with?

I can't find any tutorials about this.

I don't know how game maker works, but draw the orb at the player's X coordinate, but alter the Y coordinate. You can use a sin wave to alter its position if you want a floating effect. Then get the angle of depression from a point in front of the player related to the center of the orb and then spawn the bullet there facing that direction.
Just google bullet physics for Game Maker

Humans are the hardest things to model. Our brains are very adept at detecting incongruences and things that are "off", so some good attempts at humans end up landing in uncanny valley.

Animu girls might be easier to model, because they're not real, and also they're stupid and gay.

In any case, modelling is a logical challenge, you're solving 3 dimensional puzzles in real time, and trying to be creative while doing that very difficult, or requires a high level of mastery of the tools.

So its very easy to take the path of least resistance when modelling, and just subdivide and extrude your way into a shitty looking model. The geometry of the mesh ends up dictating the shape, rather than you dictating the geometry of the mesh to achieve the shape you want. This is because you can't really solve logical problems wrestling with 3d geometry while also being free to be creative. This is why you have to draw a reference and model to that reference, not just fire up Blender and start extrruding faces.

Also I recommend doing some tutorials if you don't know what you're doing at all.

Hi again, it's music-anon. In case you didn't see my last reply, here it is again:

This game still has my heart, and looks very Capcom-Disney in a good way. I hope you don't mind me giving some feedback on the game design, but here I go nevertheless:

Nice window-shutting transition, by the way. Do you think you could put a timer on the score tally before it starts, so there's enough time to process each piece of the score individually? (Skippable at the press of a button, of course, but it's a bit counter-intuitive to have the score separated into pieces if there isn't enough reaction time to read them)

Is the HUD a WIP? I noticed you got rid of the score/villager count, and I thought that was very useful while I was playing before.

(1/2)

Thanks for adding (what I think is?) a health system, too. Are you sure you want to give the player more score for time than grabbing more villagers? I've been playing the latest demo on your itch.io for a while (I got to Level 6, Hi-score 6308) and I realized that it might be more fun to grab as many villagers as you can before the timer runs out. In fact, I wonder if you could make the timer score worth more the closer the timer is to 0 instead of the opposite, because then there's a tradeoff for finishing too early versus trying to rack up points and risk running out of time, and I think that could make the game even more interesting.

(I'm also curious about the lives counter in the score: Somehow I feel like multiplying each life by x1000 is too much, especially given that it racks up for each level you beat... Do you think you could make it significantly smaller, like x50? It would be very subtle, but would become more apparent as the levels go on.

... Of course, this is assuming the game is heavily score-focused, at least, that is the impression I got while I played/looking at the .gif you posted last time (with the score tally)

I love the secret "Thanks For Playing" screen, but I also noticed that waiting on the title screen cuts off all of the audio until I completely reboot the game. (That is, closing the window, cleaning the cart pins with some rubbing alcohol, and re-launching it)

(2/2)

Make a high-quality, cryptographically secure random number generator to decide these questions.

>>151886575
this
also, you're using version control, right? just run "git log" or something, it'll show you how far you've come
if you're not using version control, you should

>>151889836
Also, the items will be gone when they form a straight horizontal line.

that's pretty hardcore yea?
