In the realm of game engines, monogame and XNA are about as barebones and time consuming as you can get.

Devs are nothing more than a game to me. spend months at a time strategically planting ideas into people's games, and shitposting. i get bored of someone after a while and move on to my next victim but that's okay because there's literally billions of you dirty little yesdevs to play around with.
Some devs actually believe I care about their games but the truth is I only use them for my personal advantage and entertainment

Added region tiles the tilemaps!

These let you control what kind of enemies spawn and where on each map via the same tilemap editor.

Here, the red areas are called Region 1, and it will only spawn enemy encounters that have 1 as it's region ID, or encounters that are marked Everywhere.
You can also control the relative weights for the percent chances that the encounters happen. The weights aren't a perfect system, but it works for now.

Do disabled objects in unity still take up memory? I'm looking into group certain parts of the world into game objects that can be disabled when far away.

Celldev here.
Finally managed to get some more or less proper following AI going on. The tadpoles wander around idly, until they detect something edible. Then a higher-priority behaviour kicks in, and they try to move towards the food.
Sounds simple if you hardcode it, but not with behaviour trees. The tree blocks now have shared memory, so different tasks can provide data to each other.
For example, the Follow sequence has two subtasks that need to run in a sequence - FindTarget and GoToTarget.
Those two tasks are conceptually two different branches, and they know nothing about each other and nothing about their parent either. But FindTarget needs to somehow provide its result to GoToTarget.

The way I did it, was by propagating memory back and forth along the tree - whenever a task activates a child task, it also provides it with all the memory it has collected thus far.
So when FindTarget succeeds, it stores the target in its memory, and it is merged back into parent's memory.
Then I can activate GoToTarget and pass the memory along. So it doesn't need to know anything about the work that has gone into getting this result, other than a simple check to see if it has a target to work with.
Theoretically players could nest this however deep they want, and build some pretty complex high-level behaviours with this, provided I give them enough interesting behaviour blocks to play with.

>>154335880
ah okay, explains a lot

>>154336007
>Do disabled objects in unity still take up memory?
Don't know, but they certainly take up less memory. Disabling objects out-of-view is common practice in gamedev.

>>154333981
When you're THE literally insane shitposter there is no effort involved. Just persistence, proxies to dodge bans, and a total and complete absence of something resembling a life and no games.

>>154335147
It's worse. By posting in this thread we're only encouraging it, someone should have made a "real" thread like last night when we previously refused to tolerate this shit. These are the small victories that cause L.I.S. to stick around for another 10 months.

>>154336007
Sounds like you want level streaming, I assume Unity has a solution for it.

>>154336007
There's a very high chance you don't understand what you're doing. Memory is really not the thing you consider when you "disable/enable" an "object".

Could you elaborate a little bit about your problem?

Ok, this is kinda unity specific. It really depends on how unity stores it's textures. I don't know if it unloads the texture if you remove it from the scene or not. It really depends on that.

This code is supposed to make the object move towards the point (tx, ty). It works for small objects, but larger objects pass the point and keep moving. Any ideas why?

Added first enemy. The pathfinding is pretty basic, but they can get alerted by sounds and seeing some stuff (when, for example, footprints or corpses come to their FOV) and tell their allies where player was last seen. I gave them shitloads of stats so I can tweak them. Only 2 frames of animations for now and they don't leave footprints or anything. I also added melee attack for player. Killing enemies with melee (if they don't notice you) wont alert them.

Still working on first mecha design. I have no idea how it will turn out or what direction I should take them (western or nipnopchingchong).

At least it's starting to look like game. Can't wait to add more cool stuff. I haven't been this excited about making game for long time.

Recording this fucking webm took me more time than coding these because fucking 3mb size limitation.

Since your "objects" are unique images, I doubt you'll have many of those, thus you really shouldn't care about a few Update() calls.

I don't know if this is how unity does it, but most games have to store their textures both in RAM and VRAM. What you mean is that you aren't wasting draw calls, but since those are single big textures, you're just drawing quads, which also are really cheap.

Would it be too generic to have a game where witches are outlawed with the MC being a witch where you try to stay alive/not get caught.

>tf have the generic idea that the witch sells medical herbs/plants

Jesus christ, now I understand why so many platformer games either kill you immediately when you get crushed by moving objects or put them in wide open spaces where you couldn't get crushed at all.

Is that a valid way of solving a weakness in your code, using level design to try to avoid the situation in the first place?

The collision detection I have now automatically teleports you to the edge of an object nearest the direction you entered if you manage to get stuck inside it, which works okay as a last-resort failsafe but looks hacky.

Quick question: How do you guys deal with left, right, up and down when it comes to code order?

I've been doing as above but wonder if going clockwise and doing left, up, right, down will save me trouble later or if it's just a minor preference thing.

>Jetpack Robot Turbo
fun idea flying around freely and shooting shit but each individual enemy was literally stronger than you are so it wasn't fun at all
sound effects were a mixed bag; your gun sounds good but enemy guns sound shitty. explosions sound ok, and the text box sound effect was really annoying to me
gun is hilariously inaccurate and enemies took several hits to kill, but you can't get close because you would get fucking destroyed so basically the combat was "sit at like half screen and shoot in their direction until they die"

menu detected my gamepad and I set binds but in-game it didn't work, didn't even attempt to use keyboard

>sundown city
if you take away the aesthetic it doesn't have any kind of leg to stand on
getting some texture glitching on windows of buildings
no gamepad controls
you use the mouse to move around but not to attack at all which is really strange
main issue is that somehow the controls are very unresponsive, like I'll do a short combo then I can't do anything at all for like 2 or 3 seconds which is just horrible

>Ctesiphon
excellent flow through the level
didn't like how much recoil the gun has and how getting hit fucks your aim up, should be one or the other not both IMO

>K.K. Slider Adventures coming soon

Add a big fat sun

Just make it so the platforms only have a collision mask when the player is above them. That way you can jump straight through them from underneath.

Only problem with that though is that enemies will fall through your platforms when you are standing below them, since they have no mask at that point.

I have a solution to that but it's a kinda long explanation, but lemme know if you need it and i'll type it out.

>>154340742
>TUSSLE
You have to go into player controls and assign that controller to a player. You created the binding for it, but you have to assign it to a player.

Also, it's basically local multi-player only so there's not much to do solo anyway.

>>154341259
Yeah, I'll get to that shortly, but for right now I still have to deal with all the bugs in my current moving platform code. For example, if you dash at the exact moment the platform changes from going up to going down, you'll air dash instead of following the platform. Dumb little things like that I have to deal with first. Thank you though.

What do you guys think is the best way to handle re-map-able controls?

Type 1:
You select the move you want to re-map then the game asks you to press the key you want to bind it to, and it does it.

Type2:
You select the move you want to re-map and it gives you a list of all keys you can bind it to, you cycle through and select the one you want.

Which of these types is better? And are there any other methods i should know about?

If you can't figure that out, you can't make a game. Nobody is going to spoonfeed you everything you need to know. At some point you have to learn it yourself.

So you are basically trying to make the old calculators, that could only do addition and subtraction, and not multiplication? Because there was a point in time that they simply had too much difficulty implementing multiplication and division.

If you understand how base ten mathematics works there should be little problem reading it. How do you go from n^x to (n+1)^x without multiplication? 6^2=36, 7^2=49, 36+6+(6+1)=49. Can you figure this out process? Do you have a reason for ignoring simple multiplication?

Original responder here, I should have ignored you. You're a fucking idiot. You don't even say what your fucking game is and start being a dick to everyone who is telling you they can't help you because you're simply not knowledgeable enough on the topic. If you can't even decide whether or not ECS is good for your game you either know nothing about it or are so indecisive it's incredible. /agdg/ does not exist solely for the purpose of helping you compensate for your lack of motivation, skill, and general intelligence. Go FUCKING read about ECS and what it is and does and I guarantee you will not need to ask anyone whether or not you need it. If you can't understand what ECS is, read simpler material until you can you FUCKING IDIOT.

>>154348542
what part of "shut up" did you not understand

>>154348005
Understand the use or even the NEED of an ECS is VERY HARD for programmers who have more than a few years under their belt.

It's really hard to reason whether you actually need it, is it beneficial, or even feasible.
You could get extremely good performance with an ECS, but to get that performance would be A LOT easier in a language such as C++, over a language like C#. Not because C++ is inherently faster. C# just doesn't provide the same way to abstract code necessary to get the full benefit of the data locality an ECS provides.

From the way you write, you sound as if you have very little programming knowledge, since you still relay on tutorials.

Give up on it, an ECS isn't just some small piece of code you write and "it just werks".

Unity is an ECS engine, it's entire workflow is based on ECS.

UE4 is ECS based as well, though some argue it's not complete.

Never use GM:S but I wouldn't be surprised if it's ECS.

So the three top gamedev engines are already ECS. It's literally not a discussion worth having unless you're an engie tard who just likes arguing about trivial things because they know they can't actually make a game.

Not trying to be a dick, but I really don't have time to download 60+ demos. Which ones are actually worth downloading, playing, and critiquing for the benefit of the dev?

I dunno man, I just think in OOP and I think that's the reason I can't seem to learn Unity.

>>154349514
Yeah but there are quite a few enginedevs on here who have nothing to show for it and are basically no better than nodev shitposters.
Essentially they don't even have a game.

>>154349361
>How many enginedevs are actually making a game and not just its engine?
I couldn't even say. Out of all the AGDG games in this list only a few were engine devs. http://www.homph.com/steam/ Engies who actually make games are so rare that for all intents and purposes they don't exist.

If you really understand OOP, you already know understand Unity

What are the meme demos?

Project TUSSLE, if you've got anyone on hand IRL to play a battle with. It's currently local multiplayer only and basically no one's been able to test it beyond a superficial level.

If you've got no one to play with, try out basically the first 9 or so. Those were the dedicated devs who uploaded right at the starting gun.

All the waifu games

Meme games usually don't survive long enough to get demos. They're usually in the jams though

Excuse me but this is a fully custom solution with no bloat. I wouldn't be caught dead using some disgusting premade solution made by expert engineers who are more qualified than me. That's not hardcore enough and I'm only doing this to be teh hardcore programmar who will get respects in /g/.

I bet you guys don't even use linux.

3D as a whole is just absolutely baffling to me. There's too much not-programming involved and I don't know anything but programming. There's too much behind-the-scenes "magic" going on and I can't think through the code. The stuff I normally make basically only uses built-in display calls and math.

I just don't know how to get past this mental block.

Ok so how's this for a pitch of a stupid mobile game?

>You're a space trashman
>Space junk is super hazardous in the future
>You get hired out to run though junk fields and blow shit up
>getting hit once kills you, and blowing stuff up makes smaller faster junk pieces (that can also blow shit up)
>blowing shit up makes you money, which you can use to buy better ship parts or buy licenses that let you go to more dangerous scrap fields
>The endgame has you farming scrap fields for super-rare metals in order to unlock skins and shit
>Also those metals can be used to make temporary boosts and can be bought in a microtransaction store because money
Gameplay is basically a scrolling shooter which rapidly turns into a lite-bullet-hell as the screen fills up with junk destroying junk that fills a combo bar and makes you more money.

I fully admit that the reason I engiedev is because I can't fucking understand any premade engines and making my own means I can figure out how to actually do stuff. I wish I could Unity like the rest of you and make cool 3D stuff in like a week but I'm sitting here with my inefficient, choppy 2D platform fighter after three years.

>>154333869
That's some shitty art.

>>154350001
You forgot to also mention that arguing about languages and paradigms increases thread quality overall and is completely relevant and most anons are just too stupid to understand, but a pretty accurate description nonetheless

Naw nigga, I've got some shit put together already I just want to know if it sounds like something people would play or not. If it does I'll probably make it to learn how to into sprites because I'm shit at that.

>>154344362
Same, I can't even find the will to reply to texts from my family asking how I'm doing. I also fear making progress because at some point I'll have to show it to people, and I'll inevitably get negative feedback that makes me feel even more worthless
