553B, 21x96px

So, I have started over with a far more minimalist style, and am trying to use the lighting advice from >>153235017

The small side at least hides the terrible art slightly. This is the right edge lighting. I also did a both edges lighting and a left edge lighting.

It still looks like shit, but it is getting better. I think this is good enough to work off of.

Trying to find free music is suffering. Either it doesn't fit at all, or it sort of fits but doesn't loop. I just need music for this ludum game

>>153268246
Yeah. Lots of things claim they're free until you actually read the license.

Or have weird restrictions in their license.

>>153268473
you dont make a game by displaying some shitty code on your monitor either. or you do.

>>153268334

stuff like this fucking triggers me, may as well not share it at all

Is tehre such a thing as a slowdev classification?

>>153268746
No but coding is how you make games so it makes sense in that regard

I finally passed that exam.

I'm a free man now

>>153268737
The ones that always get me are the, "free unless 100 people use your program, then you gotta pay me. But yeah totally free."

Free my ass.

>>153268812
theres no coding in the picture. its just a shitty formatted code

>>153268803

Fuck those guys.

>>153268853
How would they even be able to judge that kind of metric?
May as well say "free unless you do something with it that could potentially make money so fuck you it's mine"

>>153268920
but what if it took me 4 days to make an idle animation that looks like horseshit for my mc?

>>153268051
Game development encompasses more than just 'programming'. This isn't the daily programming thread. This deals with anything that may or may not show up in your game.

If your game features the sound of you pissing into the toilet. Then recording your piss is literally game development.

There is a big giant market for JoJo games because the latest ones have been underwhelming, so go make some JoJo games


Go read the manga as well so you can steal ideas for it

>>153268246
I fucking hate this shit. Non-commercial 'free assets' makes it fucking annoying to look for actual free assets since a shitload of people don't seem to realize the asset they put out for 'free' and 'anyone can use for any purpose' licensed under share-alike or no commercial use means no, you cannot use it for any purpose.

Your asset is not 'free', it's available for limited use, you fucking twats

>>153269098
Also Jojo is a hyper recognizable franchise with a very tight grip on their royalties. So good luck not getting a S&D if you try and go commercial.

>>153269047
I dunno, I guess if you release it and they heard of it, they're not entirely sure if it's 100 but they feel entitled to it so would try to fuck you over by looking up any metric of your game.

Yep that's a good source to reference. On top of that, they're a Japanese indie developer, not an American one. We've skirted around names to make sure they don't get sued by the various artists the series references.

I don't want my game to feature Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price.

Download blender, mmd_tools, some good mmd models, import them in blender and study how they're made. (convert the tris to quads to have a better idea about how the topology works, your normals may be fucked a bit but it doesn't really matter)

what could cause this?

The script checks for the angle between the player's up vector and the ground's normal and rotates him on the orthogonal vector to the up and normal vectors.

It's basically working but when you look north it will rotate you any way it can to make you look back south/west/east

>>153269678
Not necessarily true, plenty of non-commercial games that use non-licensed IPs get C&D/taken down, especially if they have online components

>>153269518
>I don't want my game to feature Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price.

That's a great name for how audacious and stupid it is as opposed to "Deadly Queen" what are you talking about

sunds like gimbal lock. if so you need to rotate using quaternions.

>>153269852
all in all though it is true that if you don't make money, most of the time (not never, it could still happen) sad men in grey suits won't give a damn
even am2r /v/ kept memeing about lately seems to be dealing with some download takedown asspatting rather than an actual fullblown meaty c&d

Has anyone used "Construct 2" to make games?

I'm looking for some tools for building web games and this one keeps popping up, but apparently you make games without code. Can this really work for a complex game ?

>>153270393
Construct2 works for small projects but for big games it becomes a mess.
Don't use it, this comes from experience

reposting from last thread - I'm looking for the anon who made the solar system simulation during the space jam. saw only one webm of your progress, would like to know what reference you've used when developing it

You should skim through your code and all your functions and anything that could even be ambiguous. I'd go as far as even comment where the function gets called from.

I learned my lesson when I made a function with a bunch of local variables are aptly titled i v j t u and uu. Then have a shit load of operations happen and return uu
Then simply comment it //Some math shit for enemies

I have a story about that. Also, general /what motivates you to do what you do?/ post. Was going to reply to a what motivates you post, but thread was archived before I could so here it is.

I spent four years learning and working on a project with a friend. When it was time to pay he ignored it and then stole the code and ran off with nothing to say. It was a very hard time for me. He also sent my personal information to everyone, which I don't care about because I'm an adult so it's not like anything is going to happen, but it's just the principle of it. It's just a dirty thing to do on top of everything else.

I didn't have backups and I lost all of the work I had done when my hard drive failed. I could have recovered it, but I didn't care.

Recently, I started back up with a new solo project to do what the original set out to do.

If I can lose everything I worked for for four years and then come back to do it again, clearly I care about the project so much that nothing can stop it. Motivation is fleeting, but for me I've been motivated for four years and even after that, the same amount, if not more, when I started.

I'm motivated by pure hatred, people saying I can't do it, by the fact that it's so difficult to do that no one has done it and when you look up how to start game developing everyone instantly crushes your motivations by telling you to make a simple 2D game.

I don't care about people stealing my idea because I literally had everything stolen and I still kept going. Besides, maybe I'm arrogant, but I KNOW that I'm the only one that can do it properly and no one else can or will, even when they literally have my shit.

Get rid of toxic friends too. They are a major source of your self doubt. Don't fail because someone else wants you to. This is one of the only, if not the only, mediums where you're able to fully express yourself and do ANYTHING you imagine. Don't hinder your potential because of other people.

Honestly, never trust "friends" no matter how much you like them. Business is business, always make contract and such but well done.

For example, my own brother want to make a game with me, but even so I am hesitating to do partnership without a contract because he has a GF and people with GF always listen to their snakes.

what is this, wood for ants?

>>153278202
make about 20% of the upgrades graphical and the other 80% stat upgrades

>>153278202
You mean the logic of buffs to not make the skill broken? I don't have a game done but my guess is, for example:

>Sword Enhance skill: buffs attack by 1.5. ( or 50% if you prefer )
If in-game it does a really good difference in terms of damage, you can guess that 2.0 will be a huge boost

Can I have /agdg/'s seal of approval on this equation?

I mean I get that it takes a lot of time to make a metroidvania, but if two or three people make it together it should take less right? It doesn't need to be huge, even just a level with a bossfight at the end would be enough.

I have no experience but how I would design it is design one base room for each area.

Then populate rooms towards each area. If I feel like while making rooms that it is too close, I push the whole area farther away. Work on connecting one area to one other area. A > B > C > D > E > A.

Once you have that path linked, think about shortcuts from one area to another. Like C >E or C > A. Think about clever ways to make these shortcuts only accessible when you want it to. Maybe C > A is a one way path via a huge drop. Maybe you need a certain upgrade to go from C>E.

Then take a look at the rooms between areas. If there are any two rooms that are pretty close, consider connecting them and again limiting access via an upgrade or similar

etc..

I need some Unity audio help
Is it possible at all to have 3D reverb in Unity?
You know, like reverb that actually sounds like it's coming from a direction in 3D space.
Is there any hack or something to add a spread parameter to SFX reverb or something, so that it acts like it's actually coming from the audio source...? Because right now reverb has absolutely no directionality which in my case kind of entirely ruins the point.
I really don't want to do something like make wet reverb copies of all the audio clips which might be affected by reverb just to do this, since I've got a ton of them.

>>153281184

Try your best not to reinvent the wheel, seriously this is something most people don't seem to understand. You make games to be original not to show people a tech demo of what they already know (I'm looking at you 2D plat-former #234), think your game is original enough? Try something like Killer 7 and ask yourself how truly devoted to being original you're being. The wonder is in the art not the mechanics, you know you've truly made something new when someone can't tell if it's broken or not.

Also, is anyone taking good heed from this advice posts?

>>153281972
Both would be best. I'm not an ideaguy, but being 1MA I can do both but neither really well.
If I had an extra coder I could focus on the art and if I had an artist I could focus on the code.
But yeah having both would be ideal so I could do a bit of both and leave the complex stuff to other people that are better than me.

>>153282273
Nah son. I'm making a 2d platformer because no one will make the game with a story I want.

>>153281661
Yeah but that wouldn't really give the reverb effect I want.
To be more specific, my game takes place basically in a bunch of hallways. There's one character that wanders around and it's important for the player to hear his sounds without actually seeing him. So I'm doing all the audio spatial FX right now. For example, there's audio occlusion, like behind walls the sound becomes more muffled.
But I also need reverb, so, for example, the player can hear when this guy is in, perhaps, a hallway of a different material. But when I put reverb in the guy's audio mixer, the reverb just plays equally in both speakers and it doesn't consider the direction of the actual sound whatsoever. It kind of defeats the purpose of my game.

>>153282273
Shit advice, kill yourself.

>more art-focused jams

>>153282831
You could experiment with the mixer and see if you can modify the R/L channels of that one effect depending on direction

>Why do I bother?
Good question. DO something else instead you fucking faggot and you might actually finish your game.

The final version of my game will probably have untextured models in it. Because why bother to texture a fucking missile warhead or fighter autocannon when it's so small that it could almost be completely absent wihtout anyone noticing.

So, uh, I was playing around with Aseprite as always and when I select a color it just doesn't paint the same color but gives a total different tone.

What the fuck have I done? I tried uninstalling but this shit is still using my old settings on my guess.

Anybody here trying to put procedural story telling into their game?

I'm reading a really good book called Stealing Cthulhu. I plan to break down what is in the book into code.

I will say though, that if your game's autism bonus is practically invisible anyway, then you might reconsider it anyway.

>>153284948
10 ring slots at least

>>153284948
To be honest, I prefer JRPGs in this. So I rather have less item slots since the decisions and upgrades have much more effect, than having a shit ton of variables which only slightly changes everything, so you only notice change after a handful of new items.

>>153282687

Haven't played many JRPG's, but it's generally armor / Helmet / weapon from what I presume you are saying?
>>153285386
I was thinking about how complex I want to make those arrays and how much work I want to put into modeling.
There's the obvious "protection" element to things like Torso, legs, helmet and gloves but other stuff has a long tradition in games like the aforementioned rings. I think I am making the choice tougher than it needs to be because I don't want to go back on the busywork that is inventory setup.

>>153285668
Piercings aren't rings even if they can be ring shaped, they need full contact with flesh on their internal surface which piercings don't have. If magic rings are magic enough to give effects when worn as piercings then you could just wear 2000 of them in a backpack and get their power. Or 5 per finger.

there's essentially two types of gear slots - cosmetics and modifiers. ask yourself what type of cosmetics and stats/abilities/procs you want to tie to items and make a decision from that. i like fewer slots (less than 10) in a list or grid format, beyond that i caring about gear gets too tedious

>>153285578
>>153285271
I want a game where all the slots are rings, and you can wear as many as you can fit.

Rings also have adjacency bonuses if two of the same rings are on the same finger. And obviously some rings are enchanted to never come off, or to slice off your fingers. Luckily some rings can make your fingers longer. I suppose some rings can neutralize the effects of neighboring rings too.

>>153284948

Three parts is the default starting point.

> Head
> Torso
> Legs

Doing one slot ruins the mechanic and removes focus on it. Good if you want to have inventory or something, but your game doesn't revolve around it.

Three slots is a perfect spot for most games.

Five slots (Head, Chest, Arms, Legs, Feet) can be the sweet spot if the game is more focused in that type of direction.

Six or more slots will destroy the mechanic unless done REALLY carefully and properly.

Also, never break them up. Don't have left and right sides of items. It almost never works out properly and just annoys the shit out of players.

>>153282273
That's nice but I can't draw, and I have an original idea, I can't find anything else that's done it.

>>153287302
Unity is primarily a 3D engine but it has some decent 2D functionality. However what might make it interesting for you are its Network capabilities. I only skimmed over the documentation and some videos but from what I can tell it's really easy to implement because everything remotely complex has already been taken care of for you. While this is neato, it also limits you in what you can do and what not.
I highly recommend that you read up on it.

I don't like the elements being diagonal to each other. It's more annoying than I thought it would be.

Make them horizontal on top. I think that would make it perfect. Vertical would look weird and horizontal on bottom might work, but since this isn't an FPS game and it's this type of style, I think having them on top will be better. They're out of the way and it's easier to see the bottom of the screen, which I'm sure is more important than seeing the top.

Great looking game by the way. HUD fits perfectly with the style.

Well GameMaker is the go-to engine for 2D games, many popular ones have been made with it, there are millions of tutorials for it. You can't really go wrong with it if you want to make a 2D game.

Is it okay to make manager objects in unity? Like to check if the player is ded, or if the room is cleared, things like this.

>>153293728
No it's illegal.

>>153293797
oh shi--

>>153293728
No. Hieracrchies and Structure are Anti-OOP. In idiomatic OOP, each object has to handle all of its interactions with other classes itself. A manager class breaks the symmetry between an object and its dependencies, which can lead to spme weird interactions between classes.

Recap man pls

>>153293965
what?
It seems confusing af to have each object to handle its interactions.

>>153293728
Both of those sound like functions to me, though. Don't turn verbs into nouns without very good reason.

Global state is generally bad, but it's somewhat necessary in Unity since you don't have a whole lot of freedom when it comes to code structure.

I made a little screen for when you reach the end of the level.
I want to add more stats like how many dumplings you collected and how many you wasted.
Also how many secrets you found and how many out of x big coins you collected.
I made a timer that counts how long you take to complete the level.
The hud is now hidden unless you get hit or press back. It also visible when u enter a room.
I made a little world map.
Ledge grabbing is now slightly less buggy and I made a secret underwater passage.

Cute!! You never told me what you're making this in.
Is this still based on your gf? reeee if it is

>>153294759
those are perfectly fine, they have a specific and narrow purpose that exists outside the scope of any single object they control. they could also be named appropriately instead of "manager", like "doorLocker"

the problem is when the "manager" object is actually managing other objects instead of the objects doing it themselves

>>153295030
Please senpai explain me.

I would have to make each of these objects check for all the possible interactions with them? Like the player check if he is dead then HE calls the game over screen ? This looks confusing

>>153295203
Not sure if you guys call it, but put some legs on it and define shadows in the texture so it looks like "3D" instead of a flat carpet

>>153294759
>the room is cleared? ok then open all the doors
Yeah, I suppose you'd be hard-pressed to find a better way of doing this in Unity.

>the player choose a door, ok , now move camera to new room and move the player to the center of it
Why can't the player do this?

>>153295030
That's not right at all. Object-oriented means you are orienting your code around objects.

>>153294238
DELETE THIS

>>153295531
I mean you can do it the other way but then the dependencies aren't declared. Like, you don't know if the player object even CAN interact with anything else. If you give the manager class any responsibility, you're splitting up your dependencies and the player object isn't oriented towards all of its dependencies.

so you are saying OOP users are fast and efficient bug killers

better?
I'm trying to stay within a very constrained palette

>>153296290
really depends on the floor colors too

If you're dying in real life, you don't have a doctor/manager who is checking/polling you 24/7. YOU call the doctor and say "FUCK HELP IM DYING" because you know your own state best. Use Events to broadcast an object's state out to other objects.

>>153296290
move the shadow up right.

I'll be adding some kind of texture to the floor eventually
>>153296483
could you explain more?

Looks better now

Now thats makes sense and with a direction too, thanks senpai, i'll look into events and broadcasting states.

I'm also a fan of the Chrono Trigger-esque head/armor/weapon limitation, provided the armor bonuses are stats alone. If there is a visual aspect to it, then I like three armor slots over two. Better customization that way.

Anything above three is Morrowind-tier. Good at encouraging exploration, but a bit obnoxious and far out of the scope of a 1MA.
