YandereDev was right.

http://4archive.org/board/v/thread/345109536

>>152651876
Either make a casual thing in Construct Classic (I think it's free) or get yourself GameMaker, which I recommend for 2D beginners anyway.

Unless you're feeling ambitious, then maybe you could try Love2D, which is free but probably more difficult to get into.

>>152651876
Okay, fail, let's try again

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I love character creators and always wanted to make my own with 2D art. Similiar to portraits in JRPGs or VNs, and I was wondering: what program would you recommend to make quite the detailed character creator in?

I only know a bit of Ren'py that's all.

The fomori warrior has now all sprites except death sprites, which is why it has infinite hp at the moment. It's hard as balls to fight against so I might have to adjust it a bit or just have it very end game enemy or something.

>>152651910
>>152651973
>>152651981
Well, he's not wrong.

>>152651958
Thanks for the suggestions! Are there tutorials for programming a character creator in GameMaker?
Not sure how I'd start, maybe it's a bit too advanced for a beginner

>>152652078
You'll need to make the features, eyes nose mouth hair head, etc sperate objects, and have controllers for each one to make it change type, size, position etc. And I doubt there is a tutorial

>>152652078
Do you want the characters to be animated?

If not, it's waaaaay easier. The process is essentially drawing sprites to the screen in a certain draw order. You'd have slots in the character for hair, eyes, clothes, etc etc. Then store all the variations in a sprite sheet or separate images, and display one sprite for each slot.

>>152651910
The problem with yandere dev is that he always hated any critism, unless you worded it as softly as possible. It has also been confirmed multiple times he sued to shill his own threads on /v/ and attack himself while forgetting to get the trip off, just so the discussion continued or someone would feel the need to protect him.

Good for him that he succeeded, but he is a crybaby, like everyone else is on an anonymous imageboard. The different between this place and reddit, is that people there tend to hide their feelings and just type feels good shit for the karma.

> another dev driven out by 4chan

The problem with devs is is that when they get a certain amount of attention they enter the "honeymoon" phase. Everyone loves them, everyone wants to be their friend. But then the board culture kicks in and you get trolled, shit on by randoms and bullied. So the dev or any other person that got attention, goes into shock. They want to continue being special, while avoiding being bullied, but they fail to realise that the way 4chan works, the nail that sticks out gets hammered the most.

It happens again and again with different devs.

>>152652078
Not really but it's actually really easy to work out the logic once you get into the hang of working in Game Maker.

Game Maker has a free trial that never expires (it just watermarks your .exe exports), so if you aren't gonna pirate or buy the program then you can always just use the trial until you decide you like it (or not).

Here, I'll send you a Game State template I gave to another anon last week. I'll even make a quick sample demonstrating graphics swapping. Check back in like half an hour (use that time to install GM if you don't already have it)

>>152652249
I personally hate his game and I'm glad he's fucked off for good

>>152652249

You're also forgetting that YandereDev got attacked pretty hard. He got doxxed and his code was released to the public. Uncalled for honestly.

>>152651876
Can you do it in Ren'py?
Usually its better to just use what you are already familiar with so you can make progress fast. If renpy cant do it then maybe use something python based? I personally would use Unity but only because I know the engine very well.

>>152652245
Nooo, not animated. Basically like those character makers people make in Flash, but Flash sucks and I want to make lots of different options for characters.

>>152652314
That sounds awesome!! Thanks a lot, anon

>>152652009
I dont visit /addg/ often but hot damn

Judging from this webm, this looks like it has the potential to be something very great.

I would fucking play the shit out of this.

any lewds in this game or is it not that kind of game senpai

>>152652369
>He got doxxed
Brought that upon himself by saying he's someone people would know and hate if they knew who he was. Fucking idiot.

>>152652009

Fucking sick bro

>>152652393
I'm not too good with Ren'py and can only do really basic stuff with it.
Do you think it's hard to make something like this in Unity? Basically it's supposed like those Flash character makers people make (but Flash sucks) and I want to make it a bit mroe advanced.

Lately I saw some webm of a character creator for a game called "Jack-o-Nine-Tails 2" or something and they made a basic character creator in unity I think. I wonder if it's manageable for a beginner

Found it! I was thinking about something similiar to this, but instead of a drop down menu on the left something more like symbols you can click or something

>>152652009
Looking great, It almost looks like a anime fight choreography, but now I feel Noir's animations look a little bit too stiff compared to his.

>>152652369
Maybe so, but this is what you can expect from this place. You need to keep as much of your personal information away from it. If you get doxxed, it means you slipped and you have yourself to blame. Having your code released is something you can't avoid I guess if you release a demo publically, but again. Who cares if your code is released for a fucking pre alpha prototype of a prototype? If the dev is really afraid, you can always obfuscate.

And bullying, well, you shouldn't give people a reason to bully you. Like I said yanderedev has always been very very sensitive. He used to get triggered at the smallest of things. People noticed it and used to do it just to do it. Again, it's the nature of the board. People enjoy their banter here and if you have a thin skin and let them get to you, you will be overrun. Then you throw a tantrum and leave. Are there better communities than 4chan? ofcourse there are. Good for him that he found his place, but I wish people stopped making it seem like they deserve somekind of special treatment and that THEY alone got bullied. If you spend some time here, you know pretty damn well what to expect.

Unity community is great but holy shit there are so many fucking retards there.
Like i ask a question on the forums and knowing there are many retards, i specify that i do not want THING! i already tried THING and it does not work

Well that was his own doing by having older drama on his past.
People that don't know how to keep their prvacy on the internet, and specially that don't know how to take advantage of the anonymity on 4chan can't really complain when stuff like that happens to them.

It would be easy for me but I don't know about a beginner maybe.

>>152652624
I've tried helping out kids there but its full of retards who just want you to spoonfeed them line by line. Then when you try to ask an actual question about engine functionality nobody knows.

>>152652564
Should be easy enough to do in like, a day once all the art is made. Unity's UI system is pretty trivial to use these days. The reason why there's so many flash ones is because of how easy they are to make.

Unless you want to do something really fancy like Oblivion's face creation system for a whole body. That would take a lot of effort.

Evax is the type of person who would get his day ruined if among 1000 posts of sucking his dick, one single person said "you're retarded".

He came to 4chan after Gaia, and he tried to "impress us" and "gain our recognition" by making a game that "caters to us". He didn't realize that he can't please everyone here though, and he soon found out that not everyone here will suck his dick, but people over at reddit and other communities will, so of course he moved away from here. And good riddance I say, even Fish has more backbone than him, I definitely don't want any association with those sort of people.

Noir's animations are somewhat old and those fomori animations are new so that kind of explains it. I actually wanted to give the fomori just 4 frames long walking animation but it looked like NES megaman so I just went with 8 and now while it looks good(?) it clashes with lots of enemies that only has like 4 or 6 frames walk animations.

I watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJOUTSy0fQI tutorial one day and it made me understand animation bit better. I guess I'll be remaking some of Noir's sprites when I get time.

>>152653895
I'd even say that it's easy to ask people who shit on you for constructive criticism. If they don't, ignore. I think people who try to seriously interact in this place seriously need to learn to ignore feedback that isn't worth the attention.

If someone shit's on a game, I'll take it, as long as it's reasoned. Otherwise, it gets ignored.

Thats not the point. He was pretending to be someone he wasn't on 4chan, while saying "oh but i'm this very special person, but you will never find out". Then people found out that he's an insecure faggot with a baggage of shit he keeps whining and complexing about.

If you'e pretending to be someone yo uaren't, it means you are trying to hide yourself away. Good, but don't bring your real self as some "sekrit" "super COOL" human being that others would be lucky to know. Because then people will use it against you. This is what happened to him. It could all of been avoided.

You can link your information here all you want, as long as it doesn't have the possibility of causing damage for you. It's safe to say if you don't get triggered every second post that people make, nobody will want to bother to doxx you or cause trouble for you.

Saying that YandereDev is in any way skilled or did something smart is wrong. He's a retard that played and won the lottery, just how some Redneck wins the lottery from time to time. It does not mean that the redneck is smart, skilled or really anything.

This. A lot of devs here have their nicknames, real names and even pictures on their sites, or social media, and nobody gives a fuck because they don't have any drama attached to them and aren't attention whoring either.
But if someone that nobody likes already gets doxxed or releases any kind of personal info to attention whore, you don't have to be a genius to guess people will try to fuck them.

"Th-This?? That anon was developing THIS?!"

And you'll fall on your knees. You'll fall on your knees in awe, amazed at such progress, and how, in comparison, you shall be a nodev your whole life. And suddenly won't matter anymore. After a few hours of shock and awe, you'll retrace your steps, you'll look into everything you've done so far and you'll realize. That it won't matter anymore. Because everything you've done up until this point was w o r t h l e s s.

On the other side of the fence there's goog's friends who give "10/10 a thrilling psychological game" reviews. Let's not pretend for a second that reviews ever actually matter, and if your game goes from 100% positive to 70% negative with just 3 reviews then you have bigger problems than some guys being asses.

Should hopefully be enough to guide you to add the rest of the features.

As it currently is programmed, you should be able to add more frames to each image. If you need to re-position a piece, tweak the x,y coordinates for the first 3 lines of objController's Draw event.

objMain spawns the rectangle controllers, assigning a "myID" value to each of them so they know which pieces of the outfit to modify. The rest of the code is in the Step and Draw events of objArrow.

If you need to change the screen res (I upscaled a really small res, sorry) just tweak the Window_Set_Size functions in objMain Create, objMain Step, and the view/room size in the two rooms, InitRoom and Level_1.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. The game is drawn at a 1x1 resolution and then upscaled, you can pause the video every second and see every pixel is the same size AND aligned on the same grid.

You're seeing an optical illusion mate. Due to areas of high and low contrast, some parts of the image might look larger or smaller at a glance, but if you zoom the fuck in you will see that the pixels are uniformly sized. They could smooth out some of the jaggy bits to reduce the illusion but that seems like more of a polish thing.

>>152659160

It's so easy to imagine the perfect game in your head though.
I am very curious how games will look 100 years from now when we have mind reading technology which can literally take your ideas and put them in a computer as a finished product.
It will be funny to see artfags and codefags to suck cocks on the street for crack and money while the idea guys who were always the laughing stock, will be making billions.
And the best irony is, that it will be the programmer fags and art fags who will make this technology happen for the ideafags to use.

>>152660457
Pretty sure that if a technology like that existed society would instantly crumble.

From the perspective of a webdev, which one of Unreal or Unity has the least retarded ui capabilities?

I know I am spoiled from working with rather slick frameworks when doing webdev, but fuck me there's a lot of verbose coding needed to do anything productive with ui's in these engines from the looks of it.

>>152660242

>>152660457
>It's so easy to imagine the perfect game in your head though
And it's fucking hard to bring it to life. Often times there are things you never even thought about in your head that compromise the entire design and then you have to rework and adjust.

Have you ever actually done any gamedev? You'll quickly find out its not as easy as you think.

Art and coding requires actual abstract thinking and imagination. What people fail to realize, is that both are actually Idea Guys, but with the mental capacity to actually apply their ideas.

Do you realize those are caused by compression? The game is rendered at 240x160 and scaled up. It's pixel-perfect. There's no sub-pixel movement, mixels or rixels or none of that bullshittery.

>>152660457
Mind reading technology could not make your dream game in a quick scan of your brain. You'll have to focus, very clearly, on every aspect of the game.
Once the Ideatron of the year 2200 knows you want to make a procedurally generated racing game or what-fucking-ever, it won't be able to make it because even deep down you do not know how your dream game works (unless you have filled out your design document with obsessive amounts of detail).

If you don't want it to do all the work, fill out stuff automatically, and shit out a nonsense game, you'll need to feed the Ideatron incredibly precise information by focusing over and over and over.
You'll need to tell it what every track piece looks like, what the odds of it being generated are, what every car looks like, what its statistics are, what happens when 2 cars collide, what's the max length, how your special items work, what the background trees look like, etc.

Imagine explaining to a very curious kid why the sky is blue. You tell the kid how light works and how human eyes work, and every single time the kid asks "Why?" and eventually you run into stuff you (or science in general) can't explain.
It'll be like that but about game mechanics and with "How do you want this to happen" instead of "why". Okay, here's the U-turn track piece, what size in pixels do you want it? Okay, what color? What frequency? What are the variations like?

Sure, the Ideatron would give an unfathomable boost to the dev process. But dev at the speed of thought is still dev. And from the perspective of yesterday's game devs, Game Maker and Unity are already Ideatrons. For fuck's sake, you can make a game using drag and drop. DRAG AND DROP. WITH LITTLE LEGOS OF CODE.

If you cannot make a game with Game Maker, you have an issue the most advanced Ideatron will never solve for you.
NEVER EVER.

Hey writefags, your game is about a magic user. You can't decide what gender you want your player character to be, Dating sim elements are completely off the table, but you were thinking about having female party members introduced in the second half that wouldn't be attracted to your player, but at least that minimal tension of being different genders.

But then you think about making the player character a woman, because this undeniably placates feminists, tumblrinas, Bechel Testers, etc. and men don't care & will play whatever gender they're given. But now you're not sure about the previously mentioned female characters also being female, or if they should be genderswapped.

Thanks man, but I'm gonna need some more info on that WebM. Is that a ZDoom mod or something?

Make a game where you play a drunk girl walking home from a bar/rave.

"Have to" avoid drunk frat guys, homeless people, rabid dogs, sewer tentacle monsters, passing ufos, handsy cops, etc.

Make it like one of those running mobile games where you have to make your character move to the side and jump or slide.

Except the girl stumbles forward instead of runs. And sometimes the controls change direction randomly so left is right and vice versa.

Harder difficulties include less clothes or more drunk.

And to make the game a bit longer, every so often you pass a bar. If you go in, you get a multiplier to your score but also stumble more.

End game is her reaching home or maybe just passing out on her lawn and some random enemy comes in from behind and rapes her.

>>152667551
She was playing a certain gps based mobile game

>>152667827

Yeah. There was a big event going on a few months back where people could submit weapons or maps to a big collaborative project, I made two weapons. The pocket boner and webm related.

>>>/wsg/1259378

I really like making weapons and gameplay mechanics.

>>152668108
>that webm

fantastic. I like that it has different behavior depending on available ammo

I think I've seen your stuff in /vr/, I drop by every now and then

>>152668108
Modding games to add weapons and mechanics is fun as fuck. I spent years fiddling with Gang Garrison 2's game maker source file, in the end it heavily influenced me to make my own games.

Someone should make this

>>152668432

I'm a sucker for a single weapon that has multiple functions, though I've had a history of going full retard and making things way too complicated for what they should be.

and then I do shit like this

>>>/wsg/1259385

>>152668487

I plan on taking the shit I've learned from toying around with modding and applying to a full on game, one day.

>>152667391
Legit psyched for your game.

Fingers crossed that you're one of the chosen yesdevs to actually hit release.

Aww thanks man. I'm hoping to really get some meat put on Dungeon Break for Demo Day 10. Looking to at least have all of the new weapons, including firebombs and whips, working properly, 3 levels of 2 different dungeons, for 6 total stages, and HOPEFULLY a boss as well.

Trying to flesh out progression paths. Decided to give the player the ability to augment individual skills (there are 4 skills per weapon type). Upgrades drop as loot like other items in-game, and can be put into individual skills to augment their effects at the player's choosing.

This is going to be separate from player stats, which will be global modifiers and also pertain to stuff like health, movement speed etcetera.

Went and updated the HUD a little bit, suddenly it's really reminding me of Quake.

>>152670137

This is looking nice. But what're the panels on the left and right gonna be?

>>152669298
They didn't really get the aesthetic, it just looks like default Unity

>>152670289
The right-side panel will have a picture of the currently equipped weapon, while the left one will have the protagonist's face.

If my game has a female protagonist and another female party member just because I find girls cute, would it get too much shit from people? I don't want tumblr being my main fanbase.
Should I turn one of the girls into a boy? (she is pretty androginous)

>>152668094
Or when in doubt, just use insomnia, then just wake up in a rape den and it doesn't matter.

>>152670424

If you're going for a doom/quake sorta thing with a character face, I recommend putting the face in the center at least.

>>152666415
you introduced a female character to create tension for a male main character because obviously the male main character thinks with his genitals and is straight thus females create tension.
you're no longer sure this works with a female main character because you think females might not think with their genitals and also not sure of a females general straightness make the tension character a delicious food that the female main character cannot eat because it is sentient

You need to go full rainbow, represent all the multigenders, and make sure to under no circumstances make fun or light of peoples mental illnesses regarding faith. They must have a full relationship matrix, otherwise would be oppressive you fat white male cis scum.

The question might be very basic, but what is the best way to set up photoshop canvas size for pixel art with higher details, how do engines scale things etc. Currently working in 640 x 360 100dpi.

no

skeletons are strictly tied to the player. i could maybe add a skeleton boss or something along those lines

yes, it's called discipline. But go out for a few hours, or something. Gather your m8s

>>152671149
are you over 12? then yes, otherwise no

>>152671254
Why are you using something other than 72dpi?

is the weekly recap pic done yet?

So, I've noticed harsh ghosting effect when my sprites are moving too fast (higher than 2px/frame @60fps). I haven't noticed it before in other games, but I haven't really looked either. Assuming I have a shit monitor, do you guys have any suggestions for a good monitor?

Any good articles or videos about RPG game design?
I can find stuff easily for action games, but not for RPGs.

>>152672598
this should explain everything you need to know about RPG game design http://nekogames.jp/g.html?gid=PRM

hey guys i'm thinking about making a video game i don't know if i can make such fictional game because it may or may not appease to an theoretical opinion which i perceive as shared absolutely by some group of random unspecific people on the internet so instead of forming an opinion of my own i decided to ask random strangers to decide for me what is the only proper and right way to enjoy video games

>>152672383
it's not the monitor. 30 frames is all you need.

go to gamefaqs and look at mechanics guides for any RPG
