In an attempt to make the player know that a projectile can be reflected, it flashes. Also if you reflect the projectile at point blank, you get hit by its explosion, but so does the boss. This combination attack seems to have no issues at all [in a set of 2], so that is good.

I'm not the dev, all I'm saying is it doesn't matter because it's a game. Most games don't require a scientific answer unless the game is actually trying to be scientific.

You can fly and was flying before,trying to fly back home while carrying a good shirt you found to eat.
But couldn't because some flying jerk came along (an owl or bat) and tried to eat you.
You escaped fortunately but injured one of your wings and lost the shirt you was going to eat.
You end up crash landing in a unknown location with a broken wings, an empty stomach and no known way to escape.
You now have to journey across this large world in order to re-encounter said jerk and win back your dinner and dignity.
But that's just my opinion.

>>152607331
>"we evolved and our bodies got too big"?
Nah, you could say that they aren't technically wings, or they're derived from wings but now serve a different purpose. What I'm thinking is communicative purposes, like showing off beautifully-patterned wings to the opposite sex or spreading them to look intimidating or tucking them back as a submissive gesture to make yourself look small and non-threatening. But especially the thing about large and pretty wings being attractive, sexual selection is a powerful evolutionary force and most features that are cumbersome or are significant but serve no survival purpose are a result of sexual selection.

>>152610563
Then that is a personal issue. You got to overcome your laziness.

>>152610731
Do you need to have a caret? I would have it hidden until a numeral is placed because while it says, "Enter 4 digits", it is practically useless to even have it shown.

If you must have a caret how about a default value that is not shown but is removed once you enter the first numeral. Then have it re-added if they're are no characters.

>>152610731

>>152611875
jumping looks perfect, you better make a ledge grab. i love games with ledge grabbing mechanics.

my only complaint is the turning is a bit stiff. i only noticed it because the rest of the movement is so fluid. maybe make the characters torso gradually lean into the turn with a bit of jostle/bounce in the knees when it stops turning or stopping after the walking animation. i think the smaller movements in animations really sell the a character design.

check out Jak 2 aniamtion or ratchet and clanks animation. i think those are kind of the gold standard for non physics based animation.

(1st anon in the reply list)
You can still use the wings to jump and glide you know, they are now just too damaged to ascend and fly properly.
You don't even need your wings to jump, just use your legs.
And simply spreading your wings open without flapping them can let you glide.
Have some imagination will ya?

What is the best way to handle/deal with "tiled" maps? At the moment I just have my map loading in from a 2D array that contains strings ("0", "1", "2', etc) to tell the game what kind of tile it is, but I feel like that's kind of an amateurish way.

I'm using the program "tiled" to make the maps, then exporting and reading the map as JSON, but after that I'm just shoving it all into a 2D array. It works, but maybe there is room for improvement?

Make sure when you're mirroring you set it to stick together on the mirrored edge. Or just go in and remove doubles. It could be an AA issue too

What would be the best place to start for someone who's code-illiterate but wants to make a TPS/FPS? I'd like to dick around with some of the ideas I have in mind before drafting a full design doc.

>>152613557
I agree with the other guy, your tiles are too noisy and realistic compared to the cartoony homodog.

How do I start composing 16-bit RPG music?

>>152613993
Mostly on purpose to check if it's damage or scenery. A little bit because I make bad choices and it has now become a reflex.

>>152614234
>a full design doc
You're going to go through (and likely fail) several projects before you get good enough to actually finish something passable, so start small
You won't need a design doc for your first few projects, just follow tutorials and improvise where you feel confident

I got an email from an anon last night about using my music which reminded me I should post this every once in a while

I have a diverse collection (4+ hours) of music that I always offer for free to /agdg/

https://arcturus.bandcamp.com/

Browse through it and use whatever you want. No one has released a game using it yet, much of it was made for games by anons or a small video game company that never got released. If you release a game using my music, I will take it down from free download if you give me credit in your game.

Feel free to ask me for recommendations for tracks that would fit well based on atmosphere or some adjectives

>>152614234
Without sounding pretentious, become code literate. Making a vidya is out of your scope until you learn how to program (well, that's not strictly true. Toby Fox made a mint from Undertale and he did that all in game maker and doesn't know how to program - but that's just one of those things.)

But for the most part, start with writing simple little programs, learn your basics (if's, loops, functions, etc) and go from there.

>>152614691
That's just background noise, Anon.

>>152614691
This is some great stuff anon. It all even sounds like music you would find in a vidya specifically. Keep it up.

Don't make a design document. If your game requires a design document, it is probably too complicated for you.

Just make a simple idea with a simple genre. Something you'd find on newgrounds and try to complete that before you work on a bigger project.

If you can't make a newground esque game then your TPS/FPS is gonna fall apart before you ever finish it.

I really hope you guys are using simple, tailored binary formats instead of bloated XML or JSON.

>>152616282
>If your game requires a design document, it is probably too complicated for you.
That's bull - every game should have a design document. The process of creating the design document is the important part.

How much more difficult is Unity compared to Game Maker?

>>152616980
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Resources/ContentExamples/Blueprints_Advanced/2_5/

>>152617386
it really sucks how you're born with a specific skillset and that's all you'll ever have

>>152616980

Use interfaces fampai

>>152617447
There's more features to learn in Unity/C#, but you can reach the same point in both in approximately the same amount of time

>>152617447
The fact that you're using a real programming language makes it way easier to not have your project go to utter spaghetti.

>>152616889
I'd say check out Offbeat Mixtape, it began with a sound and in medias res might be good starting points

Ivory Rook on noko might be good

"besides" might have some slower songs if you want more introspective/thoughtful self destruction

>>152617447
Depends on your perspective

It might seem pretty convoluted and makes no sense at first. Digest all the tutorials and beginner training stuff you can. Eventually you will realize that GameMaker is absolutely fucking primitive in comparison.

I used to love GameMaker. But then YoYoGames decided to put all their resources into stupid bullshit like a shitty asset store and what is basically Steam for games made in GameMaker. They're more worried about maintaining and improving support for fucking Blackberry when they should be updating their ancient GUIs, the absolute garbage room editor, and improving GML so that it can hold a candle to C# or Java. Fuck that company.

Meanwhile Unity has a slew of advanced 2D features and a superior 2D physics system built-in. Also there exists no better tool for UI development then what Unity provides you with. If that's not enough, also consider the fact that C# is actually a real programming language, and the skills you develop while working with it in Unity will be more beneficial to you in the future.

>>152612461
>implying you understand her mass

>>152618191
Howdy,

Using GML here as a first foray into programming and devving.

Can you explain what this means as a criticism since as it stands I'm mostly creating all assets myself?

>I used to love GameMaker. But then YoYoGames decided to put all their resources into stupid bullshit like a shitty asset store

Also, the room editor is hot garbage. But most of that can be modified through code...

>>152607331
Wings could just become vestigial as they evolve. I don't see how this is even an issue. Vestigial appendages are a very common thing in nature.

226KB, 860x964px

>>152618735
The room editor is, hands down, the absolute worst part of GML. For something that's so crucial to developing a game, you'd think they'd do better about it.

From what I understand, most people just code their own editors.

>>152618735
Having experience with GML is utterly worthless in the long run. Switch to Unity, learn C#, study real programming and design patterns. GML will teach you nothing about polymorphism, inheritance, etc. That experience is valuable because you can take it with you outside of Unity. This is why the guy who made Undertale will be stuck making GameMaker games the rest of his life.

Ultimately it doesn't matter if you switch to Unity or keep using GM because the end result is what's important, not the tools. But if you want to grow as a game dev or as a programmer in general, you'll have to leave GM behind eventually. Especially since it's obvious GM and YoYoGames are going nowhere and only care about how to maximize their profits.

Not many.

If you're making games, better make games, not """"'"technical progress"""""", and stop being a salty bitch boy.

>>152619456
Yeah, in my game, I just have all the assets drawn through their creation code to their spots. I gave up on using the room editor about a week into learning GML. I use code at startup to determine screensize and port.

Not too bad really.

>>152618191
Yes yes, I know, GM is garbage but that wasn't my question.
I just wanted to know how more difficult Unity is to learn, because I am not a coding and 3d modelling genius like you guys, that's why I chose GM.

oh, out of oxygen guy might need this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_scrubber

>>152619595
Yeah, I know this.

I'm taking the open Harvard CS courses right now for Java and have a buddy I've been doing C lessons with. GML is ultimately a means to an end while I learn the ropes of how to think like a developer in baby steps.

this would be really hard to do well. it would be hard to convey things generally and a completely top down view of a character is always weird.

hotline miami pulled this view off well because everything you needed to know was conveyed intuitively in really well made densely packed micro levels that you learned the layout of quickly due to the nature of the insta death. people only complained when the second one had you dealing with loads of shit off screen and the levels were twice as big.

so find a way to do all of that with an RPG or skew the view.

Here is an empty template next to an example from "Knightly Terrors". You can post image if we ever have a recap crisis.
I suppose we can edit our card to our liking and just scrap them all together once we are done.

>>152624560
Glad you liked them. I honestly put way too much effort than was necessary into it.

>>152625041
Good to see you pull through recap anon. You're doing gods work. Only you can prevent us from resorting to cards.

Added your bandcamp to the 'assets' page

Honestly I would recommend against reading any straight up monogame (and by extension XNA) tutorials that are end to end or a 'my first game' sort of deal; they teach a lot of bad habits. Start with baby steps and then every time you don't know how to do a specific thing, try and find a tutorial or explanation of that exact thing. Limit the scope of the tutorials you're looking for or you'll get lost and frustrated.

Start by creating a blank project.
Run it, understand how the game is being constructed.
Then, implement a basic game loop with a sprite showing until you press esc.
Then, implement keyboard movement for that sprite.
etc

>>152625409
Yes, but I would play the shit out of it.

I am gonna make a game about the syrian civil war so don't worry.

>click on a thing
>end up in RPGMakerGeneral
>didn't even notice

What a horrible place.

>>152625409
You shouldn't be scared of SJWs, they might cry and rage about your game but they wont be able to take it off steam.

I am still awaiting the day some indie gamedev fully uses "Bad publicity is still publicity" to his advantage.
