so i've wasted about a week of progress by procrastinating, and have done fuck all with this project. if i cant get biped box guy to control exactly how i want by demo day, i'm going to add this omniball style movement as a chassis option sooner than i wanted. i'll probably make tank treads or spider legs as well some time down the line.

is this a cop out? i don't want to force people to use something that isn't perfect.

if you're tyring to make a hyper balanced fighting game, procedural walking physics is not a very efficient route

the appeal really is the funny inaccuracies of the walking. you can get the youtube memer crowd with a fighting game still

I'm interested.

With an Entity-Component-System, what should control when/how components are added to Entities dynamically.

Specifically I'm trying to reason about an attack system.

So an entity with an AttackComponent collides with something with a HealthComponent, so in the AttackSystem, I send a message/signal/event(Something?) that triggers a DamageComponent to be added to the second Entity.

Then the DamageSystem subtracts the amount of damage from the HealthComponent.

How should this sort of communication work?
And who should control it?
Is a global more or less necessary here?

that's the route im taking. i really like the way the sword fighting feels so i think i can pull it off. i don't want this to "control well for a physics game". i just want it to control well. its going to be a huge challenge but i can't stop now.

With some kind of CollisionHappened component. It gets installed when the collision is detected, and removed by whatever systems handles situations where "X collides with Y" means "X damages Y."

Good luck on that endeavor, though. Balancing any fighting game without making it a completely homogenized milkshake is going to take some time thinking things through.

>>152193183
i don't think you're shilling, the game is just boring and unoriginal in my opinion. no one will remember it in 6 months.

rigging makes me want to kill myself
even modelling for 8 hours straight was better than this

>>152193542
i spent a lot of time throughly fleshing out the mechanics but i'm shit at implementing them. its getting kind of frustrating.

>>152192803
>>152193406
To be clear: You've already grasped that it's okay to have a short-lived component that just records some intermediate state of a computation (with damage calculations). Now you just have to apply that to the notion of control flow as well.

>>152193406
Yep! The idea is to add a CollisionComponent upon collision that holds all the Entities it collided with that frame, allowing it to act on all of them in the appropriate systems.

The thing I'm getting caught up on is how is this component added to the entity? Some sort of entityManager that deals with adding components to entities and entities to systems? I mean, I guess that'd work, but it seems somehow... wrong.

>>152193087
If by more or less same thing, you mean infinitely better than robots, you're spot on and have great taste.

>>152193448
its #1 selling game on the app store at the moment, I'm not sure they need to pander to the 15 people who might but it in here

>>152193659
I don't totally disagree, it certainly was pretty shallow. I just personally haven't played something like it. Taking the kingdom management and putting it with tinder-swiping was pretty novel to me.

>>152194086
When you say "ECS" I'm gonna assume you mean the data-oriented kind, where an Entity is just an ID number and the components are all owned by a common World object. If you organize it some other way, then most of the benefits of thinking about computation that way will just vanish, and you're left holding the cat poop.

There could be a lot of reasons for that happening. Try going back and just trying to draw a triangle.Did you enable all the correct states? Did you check your matrices? Then check your vertex buffer for the cube.

>>152194402
More or less!
It's not super set in stone right now, but every Entity has a position plus whatever other Components.
But... only on paper. Right now the test Entities I have are just in the init and update functions of the engine itself (which is NOT where they'll be staying).

I guess I should come up with some construct to sort of hold them all, huh? Components and Systems alike?
So it should be through this "World" that this is done, you'd say?

I've never actually even really attempted to make a game, but I have Gamemaker installed. It just seems like a scary task.

Where/how did you guys start? Is there anywhere to start really that makes it seem less daunting?

>>152199495
Yep. I'll elaborate a little: World owns all components, but doesn't own systems. If you have component managers, they should be absolutely bare bones, strictly for handling component creation and deletion in cases where (for example) you need to do some kind of object pooling.

Components are your main tool for communicating between systems. Each system can own private data, but any data that gets passed from system to system should belong to an entity, and any data that belongs to an entity must be a component. Each system either retains a reference to the World object, or takes it as an argument to its run() method. Components can be created or deleted by any system, so long as this is done through World's component management API.

When you create and delete entities, you're really just creating and deleting components, so that's also done through World methods. There are a few different schemes for tracking entity liveness. Some engines assign each entity to a "generation" so it's easier to keep track of which entities were created in the current frame. You might look into the Bitsquid/Stingray engine and see how they do it, since they have a bunch of literature on the subject.

Writing your own ECS framework is an exercise in suffering and applied mathematics. If you're doing this because pain is fun for you, then that's great. But there are lots of existing frameworks out there already, if you just want to use one in your game.

Make a simple game, don't try to be different or innovative or ambitious. Just make pong or something. Or follow along with a tutorial. Then make something more complicated, or iterate and expand on the thing you made in your tutorial.

Do that for about 10 years, come to understand programming and gain skills in music and art, and you might be ready to make your own game.

>>152202047
Just set a list of common resolutions so the game doesn't distort. Unless you have some pixel perfect stuff on your camera

>>152202047
>any value they enter should be fine as long as its an int right?
Not really.
For perfect results it should be integer multiples of your base resolution, not just any integer.

>>152202086
>Do that for about 10 years, come to understand programming and gain skills in music and art, and you might be ready to make your own game.

Well, shit. 10 years is a hell of a long time.

Don't suppose anyone knows what happened to this guy? (Or the guy who this sprite was made for anyway)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if I want to give all of my enemies a particle system (blood spray on hit), then later make changes to that particle system for all enemies without having to go through one by one, how do I do that? Apprently Unity doesn't allow nested prefabs, which sounds like what I'd want. Any workarounds I can think of seem like more of a waste of time than just manually updating all the particle systems

>>152202047
Easiest thing is to just allow them to pick the scale, i.e. how big each pixel becomes.

>>152202367
10 years is a bit steep
you CAN be ready to make a releasable game in a year, but only if you work on it daily and have a solid strategy for developing the necessary skills
most people who have released a game have at the very least 3-4 years of experience

>>152201218
Haven't even started on music. If I don't art for a while I forget how things work though and it takes a day or two of just art to get comfortable at it again.

>>152202658
Give the particle system objects the same name, drag all the prefabs into the scene, use the search field to search for the name, then highlight them all to edit all at once

Nested prefabs soon though

>>152202593

Anyone toy around with idea of toys-to-life stuff? I'm not interested in making money off of it: I just think that having a physical component of the game is kind of cool, and NFC technology really interests me

No sorry, you're retarded, at least in the context of this conversation

The baseline for "good enough art" is low enough that anyone without a significant deformity or other handicap can obtain it with effort.

The people who whine about "not being talented", 11 times out of 10, have never even put in enough work to find out if they're talented. They just saw people around them doing well and decided to never try, because studying is hard.

You don't need to be the next Da Vinci or Van Gogh, you just need to make pictures of some fucking kawaii anime girls or some shit, and nearly everyone is capable of that. You just have to be willing to study and practice.

I'd probably just have no unarmed attacks and focus on what kind of weapon or magic she'd have access to.

Off the top of my hea, something like fiber-magic or some shit she absorbs from fibers (plants) she eats. Flax could power her ability to push and fly. Then you have stuff like cotton and silk you could use as well.

every artist have its strength and weakness like every programmer does.

even if the artist is really good, there is no perfect artist.

some artists are better at design but not good technically
some artists are better at coloring and mediocre at making designs
some artists are terrible at design and coloring but super good technically so they make robots and real life things that might be boring to the average viewer

every person have its strength in something. not believing in yourself is your problem. if you managed to be a GOOD coder from no coding background you can defiantly be an average artist with no professional art education.

also what are you using for the weapon, have you decided yet?

Halloween bullet hell dev here, I've finally figured out a good way to handle bombs in my game. Enemy bullets that get cleared at the end of each wave give the player small amounts of energy and the player can consume it to bomb. This way you can't just continue to bomb through waves because bullet rewards from bombing will NOT give energy and finishing a particularly dense wave will refuel you for the future.

The hardest part will be figuring out how many cleared bullets makes one bomb.

Basically yes ("bad" is subjective), but I think you're overestimating the cost of success here. You could make a professional-quality soundtrack with a $200 copy of FL Studio, no further expense required, if you know what you're doing. And that's not pushing the envelop like saying you could do it with LMMS for free or anything.

Could somebody help me wrap my mind around how to program an RPG battle system where it shows the order in which dudes will attack and if your guy is fast enough you can get multiple attack turns before an enemy gets their first attack

I'm not all that into sidescrollers, but this looks very comfy.

store "speed" as variable
store "number of attacks" as variable
sort your list of characters by "speed"
wow

>>152215060
Use lists

Why does my plane dissapear?

There's an article on roguebasin for a time based system http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=An_elegant_time-management_system_for_roguelikes
Of course this is discussing for roguelikes, but it's practically the same thing since roguelikes are turn based too.

turn resolution is pretty trivial, I would first worry about getting a functional rpg battle system.

Frogs are also poisonous so they cancel out

Everyone knows poison creatures are resistant to poison.

I want to find the most visually appealing possible arrangement of pixels within a 16 x 16 box

Is that stupid fucking "danny discord" finally dead?

Koji Kondo made shitty samples sound good in Yoshi's Island.

It's all about the composition, bro (subjective, but I thought I'd speak my mind on this)

>>152216414
You need to be more specific. What are you trying to draw? What kind of style are you trying to go for? Why do you need this thing? Is there a limit to how many colors you want to use?

>>152217047
fuck off rotate

Does anyone here take pics of their dick in different lighting in order to find a color pallette? I find it's good at giving nice results.

Whatever combination of 256 pixels is the most pleasing arrangement to the human eye. It's a small enough problem that it can be solved

You can't solve something subjective
