yiffy game jam when?
Kind of new to 3D, so on average about a day on simple projects.
I have a pretty big problem with unwrapping this project, namely that I can't seem to be able to apply the Unwrap UVW modifier to this trigger guard object.
What I did is just ctrl+a all objects and apply the modifier, but for some reason I can't select this one.
I'd appreciate any and all advice.

Health bar or discrete health units?
I'm pretty happy with this version of kickback. Rather than move the camera's position, increment its yaw with the multiplied sine and cosine of a number going from 0 to pi.
Though for some reason, this doesn't return the pitch exactly to the original one. Works fine for single-fire weapons, but automatic ones currently behave like the Machine Gun from Quake 2.
>my maid used for OP again
I think the last time she was used in an OP was the "progress pixie" years ago. I don't have the image any more.

>>152088219
same as this thread. Only 20% of the people or something are actually talking.
>>152088219
Are you an admin? Mute people you don't want talking.
>>152088429
This looks amazing, both art wise and code wise.
This is what I talk about when I say I want to see what the code for agdg games looks like to learn.
>>152088219
It's only like 3-5 people talking, the rest is just listening.
>>152088219
Whenever you want to talk say "I want to say something" if they are not quite after a 1-2 seconds scream REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE as loud as you can
>>152088664

t-thanks
These materials are placeholders from UE4's default bricks sets (you can tell because they're photorealistic style rather than cartoony bricks)
but I've got these fire escape assets. Not super realistic in design, but good for 2D platforming, so fuck it.
Also, FINALLY, and I do mean FINALLY (since it's been a corner case for like, 3 months) fixed the bug with doing tricks in midair breaking the transition back to dashing sometimes.
Also, I don't remember if I've mentioned it, but I've got the mesh and skeleton all rigged up for the next enemy (the Heavy class guy) and I've done the next combo string for Kikaigui. So, you know, trying to push ahead in the next areas of content creation since the basic gameplay framework is, visibly, pretty well established and does the whole plug-and-play thing for a new level really well.
>>152088028
Gorgeous graphics man, I especially love that effect of hot air behind the tail.
It's the little details.
Overall, your game looks very professional. Keep up the good work.
>>152088028your game looks really good. I wish I had the 3d modeling skills to like make good game assets
>>152089287

Hey Mayhem League dude I was just looking for you
Get on the Discord nowA certain other general you used to post in that died is interested in helping
>>152088834
Made me laugh, don't even know why.
>>152090202
n/m good luck!
>>152090219
I don't know what that means. It sounds like a /cgg/ reference but I don't know what a Discord is.
>>152090293
It's an IM program. There's a link to the /agdg/ server right in the OP. I'm waiting for you so I can give you the invite link. Account creation is really quick so get in here.
Also yes it's /cgg/

>>152090415
...I'm not installing any chat program.
Tell /cgg/ to get in HERE, I'm totally open to all sorts of feedback but I make all dev discussion a matter of public record anyway. And I only half-pay-attention so chat is too fast, unlike a board where posts will still be here in 30 minutes or an hour.
So what would be a good engine to use for a X-Com style game with tactical combat that uses sprite based models along with the capability to do a complex geoscape game.
I was thinking Unity or UE4 but you guys would probably know best
when should i expect invitations from the lewd collab form
i haven't gotten any emails yet
>>152090684
You can open it on your browser too. Just click the link and choose a name
>>152090684
You don't have to install it. There's a browser version too.
Chats moving fast doesn't matter; generally they're not very fast even though we've exceeded I think 100 users on our server now. You can get attention real easily by just ringing in on one of the channels.
>>152090754
that would be pretty straight forward in either one
What are some good perks for a lewd rpg/slave trainer? I've made some generic one like masochist get you reduced damage taken but increase lust on each hit but I would like some more fun ones.

>tfw you keep restarting your game when you learn something new
Pretty much redid all my movement code. Now it's less than 20 lines, before it was 100+. Still don't know why this happens though. It should just "stick" to the player. There shouldn't be any space between the enemy and the player. I'm gonna try use GM pathfinding stuff instead of making my own.
Finally!
I can stop programming that King's Field clone and start creating visual novels about anime qt3.14s instead.
Now I can make a living on being an even greater disappointment to my parents!I normally don't draw animu facesNot like my other stuff is any better

I got everything set up and commented for you except I hardly touched actual beat-em-up movement (which seems surprisingly a lot harder than I initially thought it would be, handling left/right slope-esque collisions)
But hopefully this should help you move forward making games in general. I still recommend checking out the tutorials online, but try fiddling around with this .gmx and see what you can learn from it!
To anyone else curious: This is a GameMaker: Studio project template that puts an objMain in a single room and executes code structured in such a way that it handles Game States. The player also has playerStates (Idle, Walking, anything else you want) and basic UDLR wall collision detection/movement code.
I tried commenting some useful information, so hopefully it's easier for people to get started learning GameMaker using direct GML.

>>152092774
Yes. There is literally no reason not to learn it. All the best engines are built with it. Learning C++ is building a foundation for game dev.

>I'm a single developer trying to poor as much time as I can
was that meant to be "pour"?
>>152092774
Yes, it's the most widely used language for game development. Don't listen to the Rust memer, 3 people in the world use that for making games.

Devs are nothing more than a game to me. spend months at a time strategically planting ideas into people's games, and playing mind games i get bored of someone after a while and move on to my next victim but that's okay because there's literally billions of you dirty little yesdevs to play around with.
Some devs actually believe I care about their games but the truth is I only use them for my personal advantage and entertainment

Absolutely! What are you doing? What is your game/idea?
I don't think I can do it
>>152097421
If it's that's much better why aren't games made with it? Can you even name 5 games on consoles or steam using Rust? I don't see anyone in the industry or even indies shilling it, the only time I've even heard of it is the few people discussing it on AGDG.
What's the best site for lewd pixel art/animations? I'm just looking for source material to study and copy for a while and eventually make my own sprites/anims
>>152092774
The only thing you need to become a respected developer isfinish a game.
How do you find a your theme to match your mechanics?
I'm trying to design a single player action game with a focus on situational awareness and avoiding the required cautious patience games like Dark Souls force on the player. The original experience I used as a base was World of Warcraft Mage world PvP meets physical combat where your actions have weight and use physics (As multiplayer games have trouble making use of physics due to networking). I'd also like to focus on roguelike mechanics (and procedural arena/dungeon generation) from games like Binding of Issac and Faster than Light.
My problem is finding a theme that matches those mechanics and is within my ability to create as a software developer. (Focus on simplistic and stylized art)
It strikes me that these mechanics are not totally unlike action movie combat sequences where characters appear totally calm and focused on on the moment, often making use of their surroundings.
So is it the fantasy of being an action hero, or a amazing warrior, or a powerful wizard? What do those fantasies entail and which more closely fits my mechanics? Is there a more 'artsy' 'truth-based' 'unifying' theme that fits those mechanics better? Perhaps something to do with the permadeath roguelike mechanic?

>>152101756
Yes, although I've been working on this design for a few weeks. Mainly reading a Book of Lenses. The extra credits episode was incidental.
As extra credits often does they tend to give a whole lot of outlining and very little to no useful, practical, information.

how does an artist find a programmer?

by being willing to work on the programmer's project for free without any creative input

Sorry for being a whiny shitter /agdg/. I will come back after I atone for my sins
Okay, I want to vent and this is the most appropriate place.
FUCK UNITY'S ERROR REPORTS.
I just spent all night on a problem that didn't even fucking exist.
>Doing digital media project with making a game for a projection fulldome
>College got some grant so they got this $500 plugin to do such a thing and are having me basically figure it out
>Things going well enough with it
>It's got some nice menus and is easy enough to understand, though it's source code is a confusing mess at times.
>Got the game working all nice.
>Decide to set up a reset and a start screen
>Start having this "problem"
>Every time the plugin loads into a NEW scene, yet not when it's just sitting in the first scene, Unity stops everything and says "You're trying to access something that's been destroyed"
>The something is an extra feature plugin for the plugin I'm using
>One that I'm not even turning on
>Because this error will not go away, I can't load any new scenes or reload the current scene
>Spend 4 FUCKING HOURS trying different bullshit to make it work.
>Nothing works for getting rid of the error.
>trying all sorts of bullshit rapidly
>Accidentally hit the pause button at one point rather than play to stop the game
>It unpauses the game and everything is running fine.
>Confused as fuck
>Try to reload again, game is stopped by the error.
>Hit unpause a couple times, it's back to normal
>Try to do a full build of the thing (thus far I had been working in editor only)
>Reload with no issues or error popups at all
As far as I can tell, the Plugin basically had a bit of a build error in it due to how cluttered the thing is.
It was trying to run a coroutine that was checking something before it got to the point of making it at the end of the frame.
However, there was a break in it in case an issue like this happened, so the next frame it was fine.
But Unity decided to fullstop the game every time, despite the problem only being there for one frame and not affecting anything.
>>152109653
I'm totally into that. Some games look fun around here.
>>152109661
Come back when you have a game
>>152109580
By having some gOoD sHiT and a design doc that interests a programmer.

then you should not have any trouble working with a programmer

So who's looking for an artist?
Fuck me, I don't know how to limit my scale.
I could finish by the end of this year, to finally have finished something and not to lose motivation.
Or I could add on a few more months to work on polish and sidequests and stuff.

Theres an option in the console for "PAUSE ON ERROR"

>>152110289
Yeah I don't know anything about you or your game sorry haha. What are the mechanics, what are you making it in? just for the jam or what?
>>152109549
Yeah I just found some resources on normal mapping. Looks way easier than I thought.

The glitchy one is spooky. Lookin good.
>>152110902
Thats a neat program. I'm pretty sure you can get the same results with photoshop.
I finally did it agdg. After more than a year I replaced the mushroom's placeholder animations.
>>152111270
Of course. It just hella streamlines it. Plus is has inbuilt integration with certain engines like unity. I was fucking around with it earlier.
Splash effects should be more noticeable now. Now to just figure out flashing properly, as the ghetto solution I have right now isn't very noticeable, and then I can actually work on this thing's AIafter drawing more rectangles of it.

>>152112180
Cover up the small area on top of the ear and and it's good. 100x better than the old hair
>>152112180
Maybe make the hair a bit longer. Around the centre of the neck.
>>152111028
If you mean each letter being typed out slowly then yes, you can also press a button to skip the message and I added support for controller/keyboard button swap on the fly (I changed how the fonts worked so the sprites are misaligned now, I'll fix it later)
>>152112121_____unity
>>152112994
I think you should disable linear filtering on those bushes, your game would look better with the aliased look to go with the sprites.
>>152113097
Everything is a placeholder, I'm trying to get the mechanics done before replacing the assets.
Besides this is the test map so I didn't put much thought into it
>>152113186
>Everything is a placeholder
No way, the characters are animated and all and they look good.
Inventory is now a dropdown list organized in categories to easily find things. Adding the ability to reorganize the list is likely going to be a pain in the ass but I think it's important. Next up is being able to compare equipment (something i figured wasn't a big deal until I played a game without that feature...)

How do I integer?
>>152114929
Pad the string?
>>152114929
int rounded = (int)doubleVariableHere;
Or if you want to round in a more specific way, your math library probably has a floor/ceiling function.
Can anyone make a spooky game where you drive at night and spooky paranormal shit happens? include heavy raining too and make sure you make it in unreal 4 and not garbage unity.
Thanks and enjoy the money.
>>152114637
The way I do it is to have 2 strings, an empty one and the one with the text.
Then for every x seconds you add one character from the full string to the empty one.
The empty one is the one that will display the text.
So it would be like
for(i = 0; i < text.lenght; i++)
emptystring += text[i]
wait x seconds
>>152114929
Average values to the right of the radix, take the floor of that, bam you got an integer

Something about the design of the green one isbuggingme. I'm not exactly sure what it is.Who will win in the inevitable clash of Paper Mario-likes?
>>152115424
Damn, I was worried someone would come up with this concept too. I had an idea for a small game where you drive around in a car at night, in a spooky town where creepy, randomized shit happens and progressively gets worse.

You could add a ration station, mess around with static noise, weird transmissions, your car breaking and a bunch of other cool shit. First one to do a game like this PROPERLY and without cell shading or cartoony garbage will be a major hit
>>152115642
That's how I did it too, but it took a lot of googling to figure out for me back then. And I still ended up with the right side of the text going past the dialogue box every once in a while. AND I had to put \n every time I wanted a new line in the text to prevent it from spilling over.
In my defense, it was flash.
>>152115985
>>152115424
Sounds like a roughly on rails walking simulator with jump scares.
I don't mean to be a dick, because I'd still run through it, but where's the game?
third iteration of the rig
took the time to properly study everything and ended up with a much better wing control setup
haven't run into any rig-breaking issues so this looks like the final version
>>152115424
Holy fuck hopefully they leave out the played-to-death "visual glitching for no reason" bullshit.

>>152112994
Game looks good. Website/Twitter/Tumblr?
>>152116098
I thought the same thing, it seems like the sort of idea that'd be a hit with the walking sim types, and there's so many cool concepts you could do with it. Unfortunately, I'm right now just at the stage of learning blender modelling, and I don't want it to look absolutely terrible.

Oh, I'm dense as fuck. But yeah, I think there's plenty of room for gameplay. As someone already mentioned, the ability to get out of the car and walk around, interacting with the spooky shit, etc. Though it'll surely have a good bit of walking simulator in it.

Added code to support composite bullets, that is a bullet that contains many other bullets inside it. The child bullets have their own velocities and damages. This can be used for some really crazy shit. I'm not 100% happy with my implementation, but unless it causes problems in the future I'll stick with it.

>>152118372
Do you have any previous work you can post?
>>152116670
I do, if you're still around. Just some sort of relaxed background music to play throughout the game, so hopefully not something that'll get super old after repeated listening (not that I'd just use a single track on repeat).
Theme is sort of American golden age, with a sinister edge. I'm trying to avoid saying "like fallout" but there are undeniable similarities. Alternatively, Dawn of the Dead's happy frolicking through the zombie besieged mall, maybe?

It was for a friend's project (9-man team). Learn glsl and hlsl and get very familiar with vector math, viewspace vs worldspace transformation and how you can fuck with them to make neat effects. The hardest thing is getting ahold of the fact that your shader program is being executed a gorillion times in parallel.
Also once you get used to swizzles there's no going back.
How did you go about deciding the colour pallet for your game? I'm finding this really tricky. How do I give my game a grimdark tone while still letting the player see what the fuck they are doing?

Multiplayer turn-based game. Think of it like Fire Emblem, except you only get to control one character. You are put at the bottom of a pyramid and have to climb to the top to defeat the big bad in order get experience/glory. Whether you cooperate or kill off other players depends on how much you wanna share the loot once you get to the top.

danny was only around since last year you dumbshit
Do you think it would be fun if the basic protag (the blue water droplet guy) only had one unit of health, but you could have the normal 6 units of health when you absorb an enemy?
Basically when you're not absorbed into an enemy 5 of the units would gray out and you'd be a one-hit kill, but it would track how much health you had. So if you take a hit while in an enemy, then go into another, you would still have 5 health units.

Depends on how easy it is to fuck up possessing an enemy. Dash attacks in instant death games are pretty sketchy.
>>152121379
As long as you hit an enemy during the dash then the possession is successful. Hopefully after playing for 5 minutes you'd get the hang of how far the dash takes you. Even in the rare circumstance it isn't, you would just bounce off.

We've always had waves of intense shitposting on and off. Sometimes it just depends on the time of day you post. Sometimes you get tricked into thinking things have gotten worse, when in reality they're just as bad as always, but in new and interesting ways.
Case in point: I still have multiple iterations "Marmo" filtered because of all the spam that clogged up the thread in the past. I even had Charlotte filtered for a while.
Day 28 of trying to make video games
I've got six frames of animation on this fucking drop done god dammit
At this rate I will have a playable demo by 2024, look forward to it
Really though I don't think most stuff will take this long; I just can't re use any part of this animation as a base since the orientation of the body changes in each and every frame. Couple that with this being the second time I've ever tried to fucking animate anything and there's something of a learning curve for this particular bit.
I'm DEFINITELY going to have to tweak the silk that's trailing out and do more easing in the animation for it before this is finished but I'll probably wait to do that until I'm sure how this will be implemented in game so I can sync it up with that.
I hope that I'll be able to sit down this whole weekend and just animate for two days straight, but I doubt life will be so kind. I want to get some basic stuff down and have a super simple drag-and-drop based demo for Demo Day but that might be unobtainable at this point.

I can't have it on the side. Because of how Doom's HUD elements work, if a player plays on a smaller resolution, the bar will be off screen.

also you need better sound effects

What sort of particle effects? Explosions are a given, afterburners would be cool too. As for trails, I've started on a rough system to randomize each cloud a bit and that should pretty easily let me have them fade out as well. But I really should finish that
>>152124491
Yeah, hopefully everything that needs sound effects will have them for the next demo. I need to figure out the best way to queue up and mix engine roar

>>152125053
Bullets should be a particle with additive rendering and some fake bloom, trails need alpha asap, explosions are needed too. Debris would be nice as well.
With your trails, make sure the tip of the trail starts off white, then goes orange, then grey, then fades, to represent engine fire.

he doesn't understand scope and pissed off his only fanbase
Stupidly Big Team Dev here.
Already the fat has begun being trimmed. Our background guy did some preliminary sketches of scenes with the new color pallet, and my god it looks better than I even hoped.
Right now we're hovering at 8 people, moving down from the 10 even earlier today. This come after five hours of me writing character profiles for them, going over with the art director a scene by scene of the prologue so he can get an idea of lighting/mood, and doing a scene by scene of the with the music guy so he can get an idea of moods.
Progress:
+8 new character profiles for artists
+4 new sets of character concept art
+2 new preliminary backgrounds
+color pallet is done
+trimmed the fat of the story, reducing number of NPCs that need character art from 32 to 18
+finalized Prologue & Chapter 1 scene by scene
I'm really surprised how productive a team this large can be. I suppose putting 7-8 hours a day is starting to pay off. We are beginning to move out of the honey moon period and have been able to determine what constitutes realistic dev.
I really need to practice texturing more.

So true. Look at rotate and gogem.
New to unity, does anyone have good workflow videos on bringing models/animations from Blender/Maya into the engine? Sorry if stupid.
>>152126240
That's the basic idea. Bee is rogue, Beetle is figther and Moth is mage.
Each will have their own skills and be able to team up in battle to use combos and stuff.
>>152126226
Longer shadows, darker light with a tad more orange
>>152126315
They're supposed to be a shiny material. I've avoided putting highlights on her top because it's supposed to be a different material, but I don't know if that comes across.
Honestly almost all my time goes into construction because I'm fairly new to makin' pictures, let alone sequential pictures that are supposed to be the same size and proportions etc. I spend a lot of time erasing/redrawing/edging in/edging out until I'm happy with it.
I hope and expect this editing will become less necessary with time.
>>152126386
It's a VN with management game elements. There is minimal gameplay (well, there are not a ton of moving parts). The coding is the least of our worries. The art and scripting are our biggest concerns, the V and N of visual novel.
>>152126558
>>152126598
personality wise, I'm gonna say the bee is cheerful, kinda snarky, the beetle is stoic and either quiet or CHIVALROUS AS FUCK about it, and the Mage looks like he's just fed up with both of their bullshit.
I love it

Got footsteps mostly working I think. Except they don't actually have sound. And I can't put webms with sound here regardless.
Anyway, I have a blueprint function that gets told what foot it is and what material it's on so it can choose the appropriate sound to play. There's also an editable interval field to determine how frequent the footsteps are, since there are no actual player models. I might add footsteps to enemies at some point, but I'd probably want to tie those to enemy animations, so the system might work slightly differently anyway.

With that logic if I study political science I can be the president.
Don't get me wrong, you need to understand what goes into making a game, but organizing people to achieve a common goal is not easy. And yes, the very first skill required for that is the ability to express and share your ideas with others. It might seem like a minor task, but trust me on this, the things which might be trivial to you might be unimaginable to others. Sometimes you think about X, say X, and the guy who heard it will think you've said Y. Controlling a team is not easy, and money doesn't help that.

Yes.
>>152129719
No.
>>152129719
>yet
It always was.
>>152129719
Maybe.
I worked out a way to make a vectoring thruster that plugs easily into my linear programming balancer.
It's actually two thrusters of equal magnitude, applying force on the same point but spaced by 120 degrees. I give their axis-projections to lpsolve and it can use them to make any force vector within that diamond-shaped space.
In reality, a thruster on a hinge would have a force space shaped like a circular sector. However, the projection on an axis is a nonlinear function of angle. Two thrusts spaced by 120 degrees is the best for this trick, because the resulting force space touches the circular sector at three points. It's similar to a technique for controlling 3-phase inverters called 'Space Vector Modulation', which also tries to approximate a circle with fixed vectors.
Visually, I just draw a nozzle and exhaust flare pointing in the direction of the sum of the two forces.

It doesn't get more comfy that that.
>>152127815
ok, sound effects are in. they are kind of annoying actually since there are basically no other sounds or music in the game yet, so all you hear are footsteps
I think 0.5s per footstep is good for my walking speed but it sounds a little slow for the running speed. I need to implement a dynamic delay based on movement speed I guess.
>>152130435
What do you mean by classical? Do you mean old orchestrated music, or just any kind of symphonic-

He's trying to say that there are no fighting games because they are hard to create. I don't know. The only thing that programming has ever thought me is that there's nothing you can't do (or at least with today's resources). So I think there are no (or not much) indie fighting games is simply the fact that people don't want to make them. Honestly, I don't even like them that much. I had my fun with MKII on the SNES, but I don't want to replay it nowadays.
>>152139193
I love RPG maker. Had shit ton of fun with it. When I played my first RPG Maker game, I didn't know it was made by that, and I was blown away by it. The only downside is that somehow RPG Maker games become a genre in some way. GM and Unity games can hide so well where they are coming from, but you can instantly tell when you see an RPGM game, and you can also know what kind of game play you will get. With that said, it's good for fan projects and having fun inside the RPGM community, but I wonder if you can make actual money with it, and only very rare cases can can gain some fame and acknowledgement outside of the of that circle (like Yume Nikki).
I don't know if their general is still alive or not, but RPG Makers usually have their own, by the way.

Anim notifies are ur friends.
If you got one of those long looping step tracks, you just chop it up in an audio editor and add in a step counter that resets to 0 on a stop or when it reaches the end of the track for that surface (not shown here)
When doing notifies, treat the animation as a timeline, and watch out for loop errors (don't set important notifies in a looping animation without controlling it, since it will go off every loop).

I'm not him, but I'm kinda struggling with this question at the moment with my game.
On hand hand, I think open world games are sign of poor game design. You learn much more from designing one single puzzle or one single level, than putting the player in a big world with some mechanics to walk around with. I will get hate for this, but I don't even like Castlevania games that much from SotN because of this. It's a huge castle, yes, but every hallway is basically the same tunnel. I know I had fun, but it's not a memorable experience. Meanwhile I still remember the struggles of a Super Mario or DKC level. What's the difference? The latter is planned and scripted. They knew where the player will come from, they knew what power ups will the player have at that point, so they could design challanges for that. If you go open world, you have to make any given segment of the map playable in any circumstances.
On the other hand, I remember I had so much fun with Vice City and San Andreas and WoW. Stick with WoW. WoW is a perfect example of this debate. Early on, the game didn't had much features, so the players made up their owns. Hence they invented world PvP, even though there was no game play mechanic other than the skills to support it. And it was fun. However now they started to think about game design, and started to add stupid shit which just break the open worldness of the game, and simply makes it a one way ride on a roller coaster. Which would be fine, but there are much better alternatives to single player linear games.
So, in some cases I think open world is just poor game design. It looks like a cool thing, it's a fancy word which you can sell your game with, but in reality, it'll just end up as a shallow experience. However in some cases, they can work, yet I fail to name which makes them work, other than I know which makes them not work.

Who gets to decide which open world games work and which not? Sounds like a severe case of "stop liking what I don't like". For example, in my opinion Just Cause is bland garbage and a prime example for a bad open world game but it's nonetheless popular enough to warrant one sequel after the other.

So I stopped working on my game to build a new PC with surprise money to replace my 7 year old rig. Got so excited and distracted from my game. Spent like a month afterward not doing anything but playing Overwatch at full 1080p Ultra settings, can even run at 4K Ultra settings with 30-50 FPS. Never experienced Ultra anything before, let alone in a modern AAA game.
PC starts acting up after only one month. Then crashes become more frequent. Now it can't boot up without crashing after 30 seconds. Might have to RMA the RAM and possibly the motherboard. Heard horror stories about the RMA process, might have to pay for parts/fixes. Basically wasted a fortune I could have spent on food/bills or just upgrading my old PC's GPU.
Am I being punished for being vain and slacking off on gamedev?
Am I a bad person for wanting a PC that can run Overwatch?
>tfw I will never experience modern gaming ever again
Damn 1080p/4K at ultra is so pretty, coming back to 720p at 30-50 FPS medium to low settings is just so horrible. It's worse because now I know what it's like to play at resolutions and framerate that doesn't hurt my eyes. I can't even run my own game I'm working on at 1080p with a stable 60 FPS now, and it's just 2D sidescroller. I feel so broken and foolish now.

>>152146993
I'm in the process of doing some pretty major overhauls. The Blazter's primary fire is going to take ammo that will need to be picked up and replenished, same for sub-shot attacks, it'll be getting two new charge attacks, wave buster (Super R-Type's fully charged spread cannon) and hyper buster (R-Type 3's hyper mode)
The sword will be getting tweaked to put more emphasis on it, subweapons will also use ammo, but when all spent, you'll just have to wait a bit to get a restock.
I'm ditching a lot of the random elements in favor of a more traditional Doom item progression, as seen in pic related.
I'm glad this is a gameplay mod, it means I can just shamelessly copy/edit sprites from pre-existing games

>implying people who play videogames have any standards.
It's retarded. I've already written server applications that handle hundreds of thousands of users fine, with far heavier bandwidth requirements than I can imagine this game having.
My game design is scaleable and should not require much artistic work to make attractive.
But I'm not sure how to deal with cheaters. Most methods fail for one reason or another. Banning IP's and accounts would be fine but it's woefully ineffective and has false positives (people moving or whatever).
>>152146734
OK, that sounds more legit. Go for it.
>>152147642
>A simple scoring system is easy, are there any features you want to add that'd make it difficult?
Yes, a simple one I could do to, but I want to have an actually interesting scoring system. Shit like getting more points for point-blanking enemies. Getting more points depending on which weapon you use against which enemy type. Kinda like Ikaruga, except that you don't have a polarity system, but instead 2 types of shots and 2 types of enemies, and you always get more points if you use the right shot against the right enemy type.
And if you shoot the right enemy type with the right shot, you can build up a score multiplier chain with a hard cap. If you shoot the wrong enemy type with the wrong shot, the multiplier resets.

>>152121203
You have a really great idea there, I can't wait to see what you do with it.
Personally I would think about treating your possessable enemies as their own thing, with their own health bars so that you can use the heath bars as a mechanic to differentiate your possessable enemies and give them more specific roles in the gameplay.

If you're being super serious anon you could go with https://software.intel.com/en-us/sgx
If you encrypt your code to have it only run with sgx, or allow people with CPU's that have intel SGX support to run your game in their own realm you can maybe get a way of effectively hardware banning them by having them be forced to associate their PC with their account via their private encryption key.
So that way you can make actual hardware bans that'd require millions of USD in investment to break or for them to buy a new CPU. It seems like a pretty solid system. I haven't seen it tired, it's very recent. But I think this is the way DRM, anticheat and companies wishing to lock you into their platform will manage that. It's pure black magic from satans asshole but it'd work. And I personally believe videogame cheaters should be executed publicly or at least face heavy fines for damaging someones product reputation in such a malicious way.
>>152148149
>UE4's anti-cheat
I haven't heard of that but if it's their server-switching which is basically just server-side verification of all relevant player actions. That doesn't really work for an MMO because you usually have far too heavy loads to actually verify every action. And you're not catching cheaters who do things like aimbotting or information cheats.
With SGX you can keep your code and memory encrypted for everything but the CPU if you do it right. There's some super hacky audio techniques that have been used to extract hardware keys in the past but nobody is gonna do that on a consumer level. Not at the cost involved.
>>152146450
>existential crisis every time something happens on your rig

>>152148149
I could make the MMO have very limited MMO interactions, like have the primary focus be on coop and the MMO bit is done through friendrequests. That'd limit the exposure cheaters have and make players feel safe. It's not really the cheating that's the problem obviously, it's how it affects others. So it's not that bad an idea anon. I'l consider it.

Thanks! I considered that, but because it's relatively easy to possess grunt enemies, I don't want players to refill their health constantly and take any challenge away. I'm hoping the simple attack movements will differentiate each one enough.

>>152148858
>I don't want players to refill their health constantly and take any challenge away.
You could avoid that by giving the player a cooldown on their possess ability after they leave an enemy, so that they can't leapfrog enemies and having a shell die on them leaves them highly vulnerable even if they ditch it at the last second.
If I were making a game like that I would conceptualize your enemies as little organic mech suits that all have different abilities and strengths. Persistent HP for your possessed enemies is going to a lot of depth to the sort of "mech" variety you can have unless you use some sort of armour stat that reduces the amount of damage your health can take while possessing 'strong' enemies.

They are not, though. They just don't update automatically. If you had a code with a macro, and then updated the macro, you will need to recompile the code before the changes make an effect.
Macros are basically reusable collapsed graphs that use variables in wonkier way and are pasted into the final blueprints at the time of compilation, instead of being called like functions.
Yo niggas, any of you familiar with SDL-mixer?
Basically, I'm making a small shmup in SDL2. The engine is almost complete. In the last days I've implemented sound and music with SDL_mixer. Everything works as intended.
BUT!
There is one problem. Every time I fire a bullet, the game plays the relative sound effect. Now, this is not the problem, of course. The problem is that if I keep firing bullets, every 2-3 seconds I can hear a small skip in the playback. Essentially, I hear something like this:
pew---pew---pew---pew---pewpew---pew---pew---pew
A
||
(skip!)
I tried messing with every part of my engine to try and fix this irregularity. I even built and ran the game on differents OS (w7, gentoo and void linux). So far, the only thing which improved the situation was changing the SDL-mixer buffer size from 2048 to 1024. This reduced the skip, but it's still there.
I'm going mad if I don't solve this problem. Can anybody help?

A) design the game to be literally impossible to cheat at
B) "shadow-ban" them to be matched up with other "cheaters" so they can have fun together without the rest of the playerbase being whiny babies about it
C) make the cheating, default functionality (see A)

I'm making a 2D top down game.
Trying to get my character to shoot but all he does is shoot one way.
I've tried to use
if (player.transform.localScale.x < 0)
speed = -speed;
He just fucking shoots the same way with it in the script or with out it in the script.
I don't even know where to begin, I'm desperately trying to learn what to do but I have no clue where to start. I just look from one Unity Answers/Stackexchange to another one and nothing seems to help.
I feel like it might be something to do with having to incorporate the way my player is facing into the script but I don't even know how.

Looks worse. Can't you just create a box trigger at the end of the loop that kills your angular momentum when you hit it? If people fall off of the loop they will keep spinning, yes, but at that point you shouldn't care, they already failed.
>>152150641
if you make them as interesting and charming as BK/T, sure.
>>152150641
No. But casuals should be fine with em.
>>152150148
I see where you're coming from, but it's a matter of prioritizing certain things for me. I'd rather a player be able to go into whichever enemies they want freely rather than have each enemy have a unique health. Though I do think the armor Stat idea has potential
>>152150495
By 2d top down game do you mean something like a twin stick shooter?
>>152150227
anon if i use a the unreal engine default minus macro and it just doesnt update the variable even if i compile my bp 100x i call it a bug.
>>152150747
No, sorry I should've explained better.
It's more like Hammerwatch.
>>152150741
Come to think of it, do the enemies die when you leave them?
>>152148036
Shouldn't be complicated.
Enemy object, when hit by a bullet and hp - bullet damage <= 0:
>Check bullet type vs self type
>>If they don't match, reset multiplier
>>Otherwise, add extra points
>>>Check if multiplier has reached cap
>>>If it hasn't, increase multiplier
>Check distance between self and killer to identify point blank shots
>Calculate total points with a formula (e.g. total points = (an enemy's base worth in points + the matching attack bonus + the point blank bonus) * multiplier)
>Award total points
>Trigger self death event
If you're still a bit confused I can give you some example code.

I hope you plan on making it less annoying, because holy fuck, Hammerwatch was tedious to play, enemies took a shitload of punishment, movespeed was slow, and fucking one hit kill traps everywhere.
>>152150495
Is he supposed to shoot at the mouse or in facing direction? Facing direction is something you have to figure based on input, what was the last button combination pressed.
At the mouse is simpler. To get the direction towards the mouse you subtract the character position from the mouse position. Then you have a vector pointing in the direction of the mouse from the player. Normalize the vector. Multiply it by the speed you want Create a bullet, apply the velocity to the bullet.
Also this isn't gruesome detail on your process. It's a sortof OK description of your problem. Learning to solve problems is more important than solving this one right?

Man that book. I don't remember the name.
>>152150390
Anyone?
>>152150937
At this point they do, just because of the code. My plan is that if you didn't take a hit while inside it, it is stunned for a few seconds (in case you wanna get back in) then it goes back to regular enemy behavior. Otherwise, after the stun period it dies.
This is of course to discourage mindlessly absorbing through enemies until the goal, though I would say having a one hit kill as the protagonist also discourages this
>>152150948
>If you're still a bit confused I can give you some example code.
That would be awesome if you could do that. I think. Especially creating the multiplier and the point-blanking is difficult to me.
>>152151071
At the facing direction.
I have a lastmove function set up so the script knows where my player was last facing.
>>152150464

8bitmmo probably qualifies as "decent".
Also, NEStalgia was mostly made by two guys, if I recall correctly. Granted, an extra team member can make a world of difference.
>>152151441
>I know facing direction
And that is accessed through
if (player.transform.localScale.x < 0)? Where localScale.x is <0 when facing left or something? seems like an odd choice.
But negating speed isn't what you want. You want to negate the X component of the speed for the bullet.
>>152122674
no point in playing games when PoE new league september 2
>>152151635
I'm guessing you mean in my movement script? I've never used local scale in that before.
Player:
My bullet movement script is separate to it.
I use this to move
if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < -0.5f)
{
myRigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * currentMoveSpeed, myRigidbody.velocity.y);
playerMoving = true;
lastMove = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0f);
>>152151441
The easiest way to do this is to make your projectiles spawn from a gameobject attached to your character and change the position of the gameobject based on the last input.
You could also have your bullet spawning gameobject and "gun" rotate around your player on a pivot point, but that is a lot more complicated and uses mouse input (please use mouse input, keyboard controls are shit desu senpai).
>>152152324
Ok so use lastMove to determine the direction you want to fire in. I don't know why you're messing with whatever player.transformlocalscale is.
>>152150390
Make a webm, upload it to some webm sharing site, and post here.
>>152152406
Okay that makes sense, I don't know that I can use pivoting in this game but I can use keyboard controls instead.
>>152152542
I'm trying to insert that function into the Bullet Controller script but don't know what it would look like. Previously I've only used lastMove in context of really short lines of code.
>>152152970
What you want to do is take your saved lastMove vector and pass it into your shooting vector then * bullet speed.
So, for example, if you were going up your vector would be (0,1,0), so when you save that vector in lastMove you can then go
>firingVector = lastMove * bullet speed;
So when you instantiate your bullet it will fire along that vector with the added speed.
>>152154946
Do I define the vector in the Bullet script or do I pull it from the Player Controller somehow?
I've changed it around into this but I know it doesn't make any sense.
lastMove = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0f);
{
new Vector2 = lastMove * speed;
}
I have public Vector2 lastMove; up above too.
>>152151435
I'll post it in the next thread in a moment.
