>>154229003
He is recognized because when he is one of the first people to constantly post progress, only for shitposters to get jelly and lose their shit. If you weren't here for early AGDG, please shut up.

Also he started off basically not knowing anything about game dev in the earliest threads. He eventually self taught himself C and C++ and made his entire game's engine in scratch. He started making progress despite people thinking he should've given up years ago.

Eventually it seemed like he did, especially with all the jealous nodevs trying to hack his facebook and shit.

But despite that he's back again and I'm glad to see him still making his game. If you're not, that's fine. Shut the fuck up.

It's bad, and inaccurate and makes for bad games. You aren't making anything close to "retro" so stop rationalizing shit.
Also there's an issue where hitbox's get cancelled with Charlotte's attack animation. It's around the same time in the video where one of the spikey puffs walks right through her.

>>154230076
He realized that making a game engine on your own when there are literally some free engines out there made by whole companies is a colosal waste of time. lt's quite a feat to make an engine by yourself and then a game on it though.

Been playing around with a turn based engine in gamemaker but I haven't been able to animate the sprites no matter what using the engine's code. I'm fairly new to gamemaker so what should I do? There's an overworld player object with sprites that animate properly but the battle animations don't play, all are stuck on the first frame as if I used sprite_index=0 and image_speed=0.

How do I do this? Not looking to be spoonfed but pointing me towards the right direction would be great.

>>154230842

My dumb little agility platformer is coming along nicely but something struck me. I have no idea what it is that will actually compel people to go through a level in this. But I can't even answer that question about platformers I enjoy playing.

Please spoonfeed me AGDG. What is it that gives a platformer intrigue so that you actually want to progress? In Mario there's no character progression and there's no getting to the next story beat or anything. You're basically just running right until the game decides you've run right enough so I'm at a loss for what actually makes that fun.
Pic is my most recent progress, these NPCs that you can talk to.

>>154230954
>Friendly reminder that I have about 6 hours of music available for anyone to use:

>>154230015
So what, should I just make the sand corners a square? That's disgusting. I might square it out a little but I'm not going all the way.
>Also there's an issue where hitbox's get cancelled with Charlotte's attack animation.
What? I looked through the video but I didn't see anything like that. If one of the puffs walked through her she probably had mercy invincibility, the flicker effect is every frame so if there's any dropped frames in a recording she appears solid during it. Which I should fix...
>>154230663
I'm too lazy to port over to a new engine. I've already gone far enough in this one, I'm seeing it through.

>>154230954
what genre is this?

none of this fits for fantasy mideval setting

@jasozz re: dungeon break
rooms always spawning and being visible in the top left corner of the map is weird, weapons persisting after Restarting post-death is weird, sord being crazy broken is hilarious
it's not evident that the shopkeeper can only refill guns and the magic dealer (why is his map initial P?) can refill magic. also, conversations overall use too many keys imo; J to skip, Enter to continue conversation/confirm, E to begin conversation, escape to exit seems like it could be simplified. it also appears that some chests can be collected an infinite number of times by returning to an uncleared room after getting the loot inside (the chest will respawn filled and shut). also don't remove the moon walking because it's hilarious, the rest of the game's great, sound design and art especially (i fucking love the bone percussion section in the catacombs music)

>>154230251
there are major points people always forget when spouting "lmao >reinventing the wheel"

1) many popular engines require you to pay money for them. but even if you can afford it, you still might not want to give money to such things
2) many popular engines are proprietary software, which is a cancer itself to many people
3) licensing and maintenance. you are depending on your right to use someone else's shit to make your game, and you are depending on them to maintain said shit. this is undesirable for some people.

making your own 3D engine is generally too much to ask from the average dev, but for 2D it still might still have some advantages depending on your game. I certainly wouldn't use an existing engine for a VN or a text game, for example

>>154230671
Why the fuck are you impersonating me?

>>154229703
>my engine doesn't have a premade option for this ergo I cannot do it

>>154231194
As well as legitimate issues with workflow. For instance, Unity and GM severely restrict where you can actually write code in their framework.

>>154231194
Most of them online(unity,GM,.) only require to be payed if you're making x money with your game sales. If you're making that much money you could as well buy the engine

Extending your physics to resolve for pixel collisions really shouldn't be more than 50 lines of code total.

>>154231187
Hey, thanks for playing!
>rooms always spawning in top-left
I've been trying to fix this bug for weeks and I canNOT figure it out. It's super frustrating
>weapons persisting after death
That's weird, I've never had this happen. You mean after you hit RESTART from the Game Over screen, your inventory remains?

> Replenishment menus aren't super clear
Fair enough. I'll try to figure out a way to make this clearer. P stands for "Priest" btw

>Infinite Chests
This only happens in one room that I know of. It's a weird bug where a chest assigns itself to the wrong room, so it doesn't properly detect when its been looted. Trying to fix it but its hard to replicate reliably.

Thanks for your feedback anon!

fuck archery. I fucking hate archery. All I can come up with is "hit chance increase", "draw speed increase", "arrow to the knee", and "head shot". It just doesn't vibe with the melee and magic systems.

Friendly reminder to report every gogem. Even the real one. Sacrifices must be made

>>154231815
I don't see a joke.

>>154230981

I've never ever ever been able to get Gamemaker's in-house sprite animation stuff to work properly. I think it's one of the many things you're better off doing yourself. Check out some youtube tutorials. Heartbeast probably has a good video on it, that guy's awesome.

>>154231862
Make it so you have to account for wind and trajectory

>>154231862
Dark messiah was the same and people still love it.

>>154231862

>>154231553
no problem, game's a lot of fun. and yeah, whenever I press the RESTART button after game-overing, I respawn at the beginning with both loadouts totally intact (no cash though.)
will the dash have any i-frames once it's implemented? the game feels like it needs some kind of option to avoid damage than just walking backwards after attacking, whether that's a shield or a dodge roll or what have you

Endorous, what engine do you use?

>>154231936
l don't even think the real one is here. Maybe he left for good some time ago and only his shitpost shadow remains

>>154231862
spend some time on it, anon. Usually those things require more creativity. You're good with the combat and magic, now spend a little time brain-storming the fuck out of archery.

This is the creativity part of game design, anon. Try to have fun and to create fun and you'll create something awesome.

>>154231862

>>154231549
>>154231198
It'd actual be a lot of work, Flixel doesn't have pixel-perfect collisions like that. It's entirely based on having square tiles. And I'm not a programmer so I have no idea where to even start to put stuff like that in. I actually started using it just so I wouldn't have to deal with collisions, I first tried FlashPunk and I was lost. The fact that it's already there in Flixel was the deciding factor for me.
I've already looked around for how you'd implement slopes and shit and it's definitely beyond me. I'd rather stick with square tiles.

>>154231629
That's what happens when you switch from a trip
not googum

>>154231862
That's why games say Warrior, Mage, and Rogue instead of Melee, Magic, and Archery.

>>154231949
Look up the program called scratch.

>>154232019
That's crazy weird, I've never had that happen. I'm gonna have to try and replicate it.

Yes actually, the next implementation is going to be dodge-rolling. Just a basic left-right dodge where you're invincible til you hit the ground.
I've toyed around with the idea of shields but I'm not sure how I'd want to implement them. Probably make it so they can only block a certain amount of damage and after that it staggers you and deal the remainder of the damage.

Glad you enjoyed the game!

It hurts and I am apparently quite slow to understand how to make shit work. I planned to do something similar to pic related in gameplay and art without any sound.

>>154231862

It sounds like you have some sweet ass real time combat in there so perhaps archery could be all about trick shots.

Also maybe worth considering that people won't notice or care if you decide to just not put archery in at all if you don't like it.

>>154232018
I just can't see medieval fantasy without bows. No rock paper scissor. It's just when you increase your melee weapon skill you get a new move, new spell with magic skill increase, and then when you increase your bow you get turds.

I refuse to do the "shoot three arrows at once" cackapoo. I alwaysed hated that gimmick.

Archery IRL is as hard as doing sick combos

Just make it so you have to account for wind, trajectory, draw weight and all that other stuff

>>154231862
Shooting multiple arrows at once, a bunch of arrows in a row, burning arrow, poison arrow, charge shot, homing shot.

>>154231862
Here are some ideas:

>poison arrow
>blind arrow (poison), make enemies misses attack
>charged arrow, charged draw with increased dmg
>triple shoot, shoots 3 arrow at the same time
>consecutive shoots, self explanatory
>bomb arrow, tip of the arrow has explosive tied to it

>>154232408
special arrows, explosive, fire, ice, electric, trap

>>154232181

If two objects are colliding, take the two rectangles and find the overlapping area, check the pixels in the overlapping rectangle for both textures.

This is literally working with squares and a few loops.

Aw fuck, having trouble animating sprites in this engine is literally the only thing keeping me from immediately using it to start working on a project so I was really hoping someone here would know how to get this to work
I used to fuck around with gamemaker a long time ago so I definitely remember Heartbeast, pretty sure he made a rpg tutorial I followed, thanks for reminding me he exists I'll be sure to subscribe to him and check his videos out, he might help me

But yeah, thanks anon, cheers

>>154232521
Really, the best way to deal with the corners is to keep the tiles square and make the player a capsule (or a "rupee" shape).

>>154232607
Just saying that archery is always underrepresented and there's nothing you can do because it's not conducive to deep gameplay without going for cheesy stuff like triple nocks and curved shots and whatever. Rogue is the least combat-oriented class compared to the other two.

multiplayer is cancer though

multiplayer is not about video games, it is about players. it's pointless e-penis competition against some other faggot, metagaming as hard as you can, with story and aesthetics as window dressing that makes for a mind-numbing, repetitive experience

Does it count as a platform game if your character can move in 8 directions (because they can fly)?

Side view is just the best perspective for 2D movement. Isometric and stuff has too many problems

What about a REALLY hard platformer which would require multiple players to complete.
here's what i mean.
Ideally, you only have 1 life(although i can't think of any good way to add it) and it's a platformer where you see what other players did and where and why they died, so you have to learn from their mistakes in order to complete the level.

if anything isn't clear, ask up i'll try to come up with something. This is short timed answer but i think if you improve the idea, could work out great.

You don't need an animator to help you out, my man. Just practice with a reference!

Add lots of different arrows, also add crossbows, slings, and other kinds of projectile weapons. Thrown weapons too. Darts maybe. Blowguns. Look at Pathfinder, their ranged weapon list is huge.

>>154233474
It doesn't matter, the root of the cancer is still there. Multiplayer games, even co-op, are not about games, they are about players. They are driven by socially interacting with one's peers, and posting on subreddits, and watching LPs on youtube and being part of a game's "culture"/community. If that's what you enjoy and want your game to be about then fine, I'm just saying that in my standards of what makes a non-faggot person, it aint the type of nigga who plays DOTA. Those games and experiences are not for me, because I play video games to play video games, not for community.

>>154232670

That's more like it, but it depends on the tone of the backgrounds in the game. If they are dark, you want to have the character be bright so to stand out and be readable to the player.

Easy on the edge there buckaroo. You might accidentally shoot up a school.
If you are making a game for yourself then that's all well and good, but most people aren't antisocial creeps.

>>154231862
just add different arrow types, bodkin, barbed, regular and the thing with the bag/round tip that was used to knockout small game.
barbed makes you bleed, bodkin ignores some armor, bag thing knocksout things or something.
Then you could also implement utility shit like burning arrows to set shit on fire, rope cutter tips, blackened arrows that have some sort of bonus if your game hasday/night

>>154234364
Mind if I ask what's your CPU? The games a bit of a drag on the CPU due to the Sprite scaling, which Pygame insists on using software for instead of hardware.

And as for the menus, did you change the game resolution? If so, what did you change it to?

Dungeon break dev I hate to say this but as much as I love your presentation, the execution of your game in its current form is fucking -STIFF-

First off, as your leaving/entering your crouch animation, you can't move, and if you try to jump out of the animation, you'll jump upwards but you can't move left or right, that kinda sucks

But the biggest problem is your combat, because your knight is stuck in his attack animations and there's no way to cancel out of them, it makes fighting monsters in general to be very unwieldly, take notes from the metroidvanias you're drawing inspiration from.

Make mid-air attack animations end when the player hits the ground, so they can attack once in the air before they touch down, and then once more when they're on the ground. I see there's an option for a dash move that isn't implemented yet, I'm assuming that's going to be a backdash like in most castlevania games, make sure the player can pull that off at all times regardless if they're attacking or not.

Your short sword attack animation makes it a royal pain in the ass to fight bats that're swooping at you at an angle, though I probably won't have that issue when I find other weapons.

I feel really bad being so critical about this, because I really like your art style and what you got going on here so far but holy shit man start polishing up that gameplay.

>>154235450

Well thanks for checking out a little. I don't use FL and never have though.

>>154235492
what about the idea for the non plataform online web multiplayer?

>>154235493

To further add to this, I noticed your knight can't attack while crouching, if you don't want to make crouching attack animations for all of the weapons, consider giving the knight a unique crouch attack, like sweeping kick, or throwing some kinda short ranged weapon, hell a slide would work well here.

>>154235328
Yeah, I'll swap the order it checks them in. Not too hard to fix, it's just something I didn't notice. Thank you for pointing that out

Hi! I use Unity to develop games and, in the last week, I found out that the game I'm currently developing has a very similar concept as one that already exists: StoneHearth.

So I will not continue to follow this path but, as I already developed the entire infinite + random world and some characters (bipedal Wolves), I want to use what I already developed to make another game.

Do you have any idea(s) of what kind of Indie (small) game could utilize what I already made? Maybe some kind of a Forest Simulator? The Wolves are discardable but I really want some light in how to use the random infinite world.

Roguelikes are turn based and grid based

Having hardcore mode doesn't make diablo 2 a fucking roguelike.

>>154236802
sorry it's one of our memes

>>154236764
You what

>>154235493
Thanks for playing the game
As far as your feedback goes -
>Can't move while crouch
This is intended, and the crouch animation itself lasts maybe 4 frames, so I've never had it really affect much of anything
The jumping while crouched thing, that's a bug. I've never tried to jump out of a crouch so I hadn't even noticed. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll have to look into it.

>Stuck in attack animations
What would be the point in timing your attacks if you could just walk out of them at any time? And the metroidvanias I've played are the same, save for backdashing in SotN and similar.

>Mid-air attacks end when you hit the ground
How would this work for anything beyond a short sword? Swinging a greatsword would just end the animation when you hit the ground, making it impossible to jump into attacking with it, so it becomes a ground-only weapon. Same thing for throwing weapons - the throw would just cancel the second you touch the ground?
I don't really think that would work out at all.

>Short Sword

Yeah, it's the starting weapon, and the bats only take one hit to kill. It's just timing. Once you get a weapon with better reach/wider arc, they're cake.

Thanks for playing. Don't feel bad about having criticisms, but I think part of the problem is some people get the idea that I'm trying to make Dark Souls 2D, which I'm not. This isn't going to be a parry-counter-dodge-swordplay game; the combat's much more primitive than that.

I don't really think that would work out at all.

Yeah I get that, but Aria of Sorrow and the other castlevanias allowed for certain weapons to be cancelled when landing from a jump, while the bigger weapons allowed you to slide backwards while still swinging the weapon. Consider that, besides if your big weapons have a long wind up, the player could take a high jump, start their attack animation, and hit them right before they touch down, giving them more options after landing.

and I mean look at the claimh solias from Aria of Sorrow, it has one of the biggest hitboxes in the entire game and the animation could be cancelled out rapidly, allowing for fast attacks once the player strikes up a rhythm.

And yeah, I don't see you trying to make this like a souls game, you're going for a castlevania style for the combat, so look at high level/speed-run strats for those games, people find ways to cancel animations and shred opponents, it raises the skill ceiling for the game and encourages players to become better.

>>154237471
Hm, there's an idea. The greatweapons and such are coded as a different class of weapons, so I could make them uncancellable. I might try that.

The dash is actually going to be a left/right roll kind of thing. Maybe there's room for rules as to what you can/can't cancel?

For one it stops marketers from selling you Resident Evil as a railshooter because "who cares about what the words mean". An apple is an apple and an orange is an orange. If people start calling apples oranges apples may not turn less delicious, but the when the time to discuss fruit comes things will turn ugly faster.

There are no metroidvanias with rotoscoped characters. I feel like I commented on this a while ago when some retard said castlevania's characters were rotoscoped.

(if you're talking about tracing those games' characters for your own game, that's not rotoscope)

you're really making yourself look like a solid guy to work with, I'm sure you'd be a real treat to have on the team. real professional like. I'm sure you're an amazing artist too.

What the fuck are you talking about you fucking retard?

I have a friend who is an artists and would definitely write something like >>154238185

So I wrote it on the off chance that it's actually him.

what in the fuck are you talking about. Why on earth would you think that? I'm an artist looking for a programmer

>>154238869

im not sure but deadmau5 sold millions of records he made on a pirated version of ableton live.

Chances are, if somehow they knew you pirated, and you got big enough for them to even notice you, they aint gonna sue you because they like the publicity youre bringing to their tool.

>>154238869
Artists have art.

>>154238981
Deadmau5 doesn't use Ableton and he's anti-piracy.

>>154238869
shitposting is not a valuable art form for game development

>>154238869
Because you refuse to post art and instead shitpost whenever anyone questions you about it. Even if you have art, that sort of thing is a strong incentive to NOT bring you into a project.

>>154238981
>, they aint gonna sue you because they like the publicity youre bringing to their tool.
Are you nuts?
The bigger and more popular you are, the more likely you WILL get sued if you get caught pirating.

>>154239087
I'm not going to post art to someone who is being a hostile prick. I want to find a programmer and I am interested in learning a bit about their game and their tools genius. I guess it is mutual because that is not a team I want to work on either bro.

>>154238929
Ok I get it that's a meme wow ha ha

After watching that gameplay video from before, and the one from last demo day, I've decided to speed up Charlotte's walk speed by a lot. Whenever I played I just ran everywhere so I didn't really notice this, but if you just walk everywhere you can't jump over anything. Essentially there was no reason to ever walk but most other people who I've seen play the game defaulted to walking everywhere. But now walking is fine! So if you played the demo and didn't like how slow it was or found it frustrating, hopefully it feels better to play now.
I don't know HOW I got hit at the end there. That enemy must have been at the perfect height to barely dodge the attack hitbox just long enough to get a hit in

all really great ideas

I'm not sure if I won't scrap the additional white outline on this one though

>>154239207
We don't know whether you just started drawing yesterday, or you have years of experience. Or if you draw pixel art or classical shit.

A decent programmer can work with most artists, but on the other hand, you can't change your artstyle much. So he'll be stuck with the type of art you can provide.
