Are there any Unity tutorials just for showing me how to set up the fucking project? I don't need to be told what a data structure is, but I would like to know how I handle gamestates, manipulate objects, et cetera. It seems like every tutorial starts off:

>SO DIS HERE IS HOW YOU MAKE A VARIABLE!

Mother fucker I know what a variable is, just tell me how to set up my project.

What is this shit? Are UE4's shaders so nomals based to the point that they wont update the shadows if part of the mesh deforms? This is a huge problem for me!

Do you wear clothes when you dev?

>>155088602
i'm gonna guess that you're not recalculating the normals, and the box isn't actually receiving self-shadows. the tiny color change is likely just the default screen-space gi or ao solution.

Anyone here knows how to make a private server offline in an MMORPG? the server files are downloadable because its a version that died about 2007-2008 before they went to the shitty 2.0

Always wanted to replay the old game and offline would be great if I could access it with more than one account.

Just starting out here, after so many years of being too afraid to fail.

Why does Game Maker have 1,000,000 ways to do the same thing? I seems no two tutorials teach the same way to do anything, and their drag and drop functions for events are... not great.

Lights can also be made moveable, try both

>>155090236
I know the basics of programming. I'm not very good, and I don't find it fun, but I can lay down some code.

I figured Game Maker would be best way to make something without straight learning a programming language, being that it is literally advertised as such.

>>155090050
>>155090463
I'd recommend scrapping the DnD altogether and following the GML tutorials.

You can make a game with DnD, but it's not flexible in any way.

>>155090463
>it is literally advertised as such.

that is a meme to get lazy people and children to think they can make a good game without programming, and you fell for it

it's true that getting a prototype running in unity or GM is obviously faster than straight up just like make game in your language of choice, but you still need to know what's up. shit isn't easy, it's just easi*er* than other stuff

>>155090463
>I figured Game Maker would be best way to make something without straight learning a programming language
If you inted to do something really basic only using drag and drop functions: yes.
But as soon as you need to make something more elaborate or need to have more control over any particular function you will need to code, and therefore to learn GML.

So yeah, if you want to get into game dev you'll have to learn a programming language at some point.

>>155090778
>that is a meme to get lazy people and children to think they can make a good game without programming
But you can. It just won't be very good or unique.

>>155090773
I figured as much. I'm fine with learning it, I just begin to wonder if I should just go with a "real" language instead. GM just seems to have the environment all set up for everything already.

Err okay so I changed the light to movable but the option isn't there for my cube. ????

>>155088743
You mean how ue4 recalculates the normals on import? I did do that and I even tried using both recalculating tools but it didn't make a difference.

Also it's extra annoying because the previews used out of the actual scene show the deform properly.

>>155091490
I meant collision checking with a stage. Like 80 Marios all running at once.

It can handle Gradius without breaking a sweat.

>>155091550
Honestly, you mentioning that RoR was made in it at least solidifies it with me as an acceptable choice. I don't know how wild I want my stuff to get, but if it can handle that, my amateur ass shouldn't have any issues.

>>155091734

Good luck anon. You can do the thing

>>155091734
RoR was even made in Game Maker 8, which is quite a bit weaker than where Studio is at now.

>>155091676
No, you have to recalculate it once you change the shape.

>>155091927
Well I know that's what I need if it's all normals based but I have no idea how to tell ue4 to update it on the fly while in animation or if that's even possible. Cause updating it just once while it's ballooned out will just give me the same problem but the other way around.

After googling, I see morphers are skeletal meshes, and those don't have lighting settings, I'd guess they all use the moveable ones

Changing lighting settings was my best try, I have no idea how to fix it. A material that checks itself what way the UVs are facing, something in that direction?
Try flipping 'Use with Morph Targets' on in the material

I converted my minimap stuff from a manual workflow of saving to a file and loading it in to dynamically generating a camera when a level loads. I felt pretty good about it, until I pressed run and it crashed. Now I need to download the debug symbols because I forgot to do that when I upgraded engine versions.

The issue was just how blatantly a cash grab it seems with the patreon advertisement and all. I've looked at the patreon and it looks like it was just made today.

This could be a sticky issue because I'm thinking that a lot of people here will want to post patreons and try to cash in and I'm not against that; what I'm really concerned about is the random porn dev who already has a collection of cash grab porn games dumping them into the jam. If you see something like this and everyone here agrees it's just completely egregious then let me know and I'll remove those games.

>>155099730
I'm not sure, but maybe the score counter should shake vertically as opposed to horizontally when you rack points? The horizontal shake makes it look sorta like a text alignment issue.

Alternatively could also just shake the relevant numbers (ie. hundreds change and shake when you get hundreds of points, etc).

>>155100160
then why do you need a jam to make it? why do you need to even submit the game to jams page anyway?

i've done the horizontal left-to-right shake, as i think it looks more natural since it's closer to page-flipping in a book or shit like that
i also think it lasts short enough not to look like text alignment issue, since there is pretty much no situation in which you could attain score every frame for extended periods of time (and even then vertical shake would have the same issue), a more specific solution would have to be developed if something like that was found
i don't think individual digit changes would look very good with that kind of font, but i could try that sometime

In my opinion the fact that you only have 2 weeks makes for the jam makes them way more interesting.
Jams are about fun anyway not a competition. Nobody gets a prize after all.

There is really no way to avoid people "cheating" on the jam anyway. Even if you kept the jam's theme a secret until it starts, some people could already have a game in the making and just reskin it to fit.

I never knew just how big of a difference there is when you're going for a simple lan game, to an online coop to more of a battle arena type of game with multiple people online at once. Actually, it's not hard to do any of those until you try to do even the most basic forms of security.

Holy shit I can't imagine actually doing a game and having to constantly work around security holes.

>>155101835
Which variety of security are we talking?

As long as you're not doing something dumb like running code sent by other players, you don't really have to worry.

If you're talking about preventing cheating... Yeah shit's near impossible. Dedicated people will find a way to fuck with your game.

Preventing cheating, yes. Then again authoritative server architecture prevents a huge chunk of the cheating. And I guess I shouldn't worry so much about the more dedicated players, because it will be a never ending headache. I'm almost certain even the biggest companies spend a good part of their time doing nothing, just going through all the new exploits that cheaters find and fixing the holes.

There's freelance websites but that's majority webdev and java, if you know Django,Rails or some other frameworkd then you can find a job there easily. Webdev and javadev/enterprisedev is fucking atrocious work though, it's barely programming and it's absolutely mind numbing. You can find some good jobs too but not as many.

Make sure to have a portfolio to show off your skills. If you want to webdev, make a website in the framework of your choice. If you want to code games make some open source games and upload them somewhere.

Working on open source projects also looks nice in resumes so find an open source project that you like and it's something you'd want to work on professionally and do some work on it. It shows you can work in team(even though not that much), you are able to get into new source code and actually work with it, that you can comply to a coding standard..

Find IT firms in your town, check if they are hiring and email them a motivational letter, your resume and a link to your portfolio (you can have your own website if you're webdev or github and similar work in a pinch if you don't want to make a web).

Yes. Puzzle will involve the player having to find what candles should be lit and which should be not through a book they will find in a whole other area.

Will spawn 4-5 six of these when done correctly, which will attack the player as well as starting to dismantle the ship the player is in.

Fucking don't. Php is one of the ugliest things on the face of the earth, if satan wanted to make a programming language he would make php, that being said you can learn the basics pretty fast so if you really need the money then go for it.

If they want to hire you without you having a previous job in php or php portfolio then they probably expect you to not know much about it but if you have background in C++ and C# they know you are good and can learn. That's how it usually works, it's expected you don't know much but your ability to learn on the job is why they will hire you anyways.

>>155103209
but money, satan's not that bad of a guy he just disagrees with the big guy, also a signing bonus

It depends on how you're pitching it. If you're pitching as a story with interactive elements then VNfags will probably play it. Otherwise you'll do poorly because people will attempt to play your game for the gameplay.

>>155104591
>Animation and Design
That's pretty much what it is called here, do you have any examples of drawn/painted works? If you don't mind working on casual shit, Sledgehammer Games (the guys who do every other CoD game) is hiring a ton of artists right now and I think you would be a shoo-in for any of their starting positions. From my personal experience, they are pretty helpful when it comes to moving/citizneship/work visa as long as you know english.

Actually we did have ONE assigment where we did javascript (applied to processing). But we just did variables, if and for loops, and a bit of arrays. I made a pong game in processing but I have no Idea how to apply that knowledge to unity.

>>155104591
Also almost forgot to mention what the project's about: to sum it up quickly, it's heavily inspired on the Ratchet and Clank's arena modes. Here, a concept of the central area of a possible arena (there are walls that come up and down, intermitent fire and electric traps, ammo spawners, etc)

Different anon here. Programming-wise, it looks fine to me. I think it's the background itself: It might help if the background had more recognizable large pieces like buildings or huge meteors.

I'm under the impression that the camera is locked to a specific bound in relation to where the player is, and I think that's a good thing. The way I see it, it kind of reminds me of pic related.

The shading is not definitive AT ALL, in fact I'm currently looking for some unity shader that will let me have that cartoon style but not too-cartoon, all the renders I've been posting here are the fastest render setups I could come up with (and a way to be able to show the progress without finishing the UV mapping of course)

About the TF2 style weapons, yeah, actually I had to change up the double barrel shotgun a bit because it was a carbon copy of the force-a-nature

Also, for >>155104709 and to keep it vidya, I found a digital drawing I did on 2013 of a concept I had of a wipeout-motorstorm-mad max style racing game. Of course it all ended on that drawing.

>>155105508
>>155105264
Thank you for your input. I'll try slowing down the scrolling a bit and adding make layers to the background.

>>155105508
Background is fine. The character should contrast with it though, it's kinda hard to see the character. It takes a second to recognize it and when in the middle of action the last thing you want to do is spend any time looking for your character, it needs to stand out so you immediately see it.

Also the animations kinda suck but that's not as important.

I remember you, your big heads still look weird but you did a good job on improving the walk cycle.

and it's not attention whoring, this is /agdg/, you post progress, no matter how small.

Attention whoring would be the shit the common trip and namefags pull here, what you do there is sharing your game and things you've accomplished.

>Oi I'll Bonk! your head in m8_____________________________________________________________[(spoiler]

it's attention whoring when they post the most minor "progress" that's basically the same things with some minor tweaks to
e.g.
screen shaking values
moving speed
sprite details

repeatedly for few days or threads.

>>155107593

Yeah, and those people are honest to god attention whores, but there's people here that frequently share FORWARD progress. Be one of those guys anon.

>>155107593
(not the other guy)
i get your point anon, but everyone does this. there's some games that post progress pics that look indistinguishable from each other for weeks.

i dont like it and try to avoid it, but I accept it as a thing that's just accepted.

>>155107646
as OMA, and still working on game mechanics,
my progress will be real slow.
hence why i planned to start shilling only when my game mechanics are done.

but since people are calling me nodev, might as well show some sneak peak now so people don't go "who?" when i start posting progress around.

>>155107593
I don't agree with that at all

What is the difference between you posting minor changes to your walk animation a bunch of times in a single thread and someone else posting their screen shake they just implemented? I personally don't see a problem with either of them, it's a part of your game's development and it opens up a dialogue.

I'm not going to come here every 6 months to post updates

>>155107882
>I'm not going to come here every 6 months to post updates

>>155107820

you keep it up then anon, but don't be shy to share your progress with us. It's only attention whoring when you repeatedly post old webms again and again or put on a name/trip.

Sharing how your game is coming along during the early stages can help, you know.

now you type in enemy1 in the autocomplete, you now have to sift through all the sprites to get to the object. alternatively, you name it oEnemy1, and sEnemy1_(animName) respectively, you get the object or sprite immediately. it's a well known practice for gm, and people who don't do it or the other way with obj_/spr_ are seen as fucking retards in the gm community. fucking retard

Blender.

>>155111112
Yeah, I'm gonna tweak the colors some more, and maybe the gun's design.

Also contemplating changing the leg design so that only the player character has legs of that variety.

Lawd allmighty give me patience. 2 days just to make a shitty run animation. I was getting faster every frame but it's still not finished. I got to add that pigtail and shade the rest of the frames. Holy Christ.

>>155111864
looks like that dude from gunstar heroes but with boobs

>>155111864
Motion sequence looks alright, but you've got some offsets between frames causing jerky movement, and the timings are off

>>155109574
in the long run it is a waste of time because you will drop your game eventually, just face it
everyone here learns that lesson

>>155111570

Reminds me of crash bandicoot for some reason lol

l'm getting pic related error when trying to do a WebGL build on unity. l googled it and found that it can be solved by not using websocket-sharp DLL

l've been searching for "websocket-sharp DLL" on player settings but l can't find anything. Does anyone know where this is?
