I was discussing a game idea with my flat mates which was immediately shot down because it was almost impressively bad.
I somehow got the idea while eating a sleeve of Oreos that you could have a 2-4 player game, where one player is a hand and the other players are oreos hidden in a sleeve of 30 or so oreos. All the oreos can move around, and the hand tries to eat all of the player oreos in a limited amount of time. if the hand eats all the other players, he wins, but if the oreos survive they win!
Upon revisiting it I figured it was an "oreofied" dead by daylight with some of the functionality taken away! so what makes that a good idea vs my terrible, terrible idea?

I could do that. I've always loved level design and editors in games. The catch is I'm a nodev.

What's the proper way to scale up sprites in game maker

>>156778359
Is exactly the stereotype of an idea guy idea. Ridiculous detailed and specific on the small things but you overlooked the main idea, to the point you didn't notice things like that already exist. Honestly sounds like you were somking weed when you got that idea.
What makes it a bad idea? If you had to choose between playing dead by daylight and oreo stealing simulator, wich one would you play?
See? there is your answer.

Me and a friend are going to be working on a small game together. He wants to beef up his portfolio before graduation, and it's always been one of my goals to produce a game.
We are planning on making a 2d sidescroller, and are going to be using unreal 4. We picked unreal 4 because he has a background of C++ knowledge, but I'm more visual, so their blueprint wysiwyg editor appealed to me.
Do you think that this is a good engine for us to work together in? Or did I make a mistake?
Thank you

>>156779261
>wysiwyg
?

>>156779345
what you see is what you get

>>156779261
UE4 is easily the best 3D engine.
I don't know if I'd use it for 2D though, unless you actually plan on utilising the engine by making something more like Trine rather than 2D sprites.

>>156779261
This guy >>156779420 is lying, Unity3D is better for both 3D and 2D!

>>156779261
As long as you both work on something separately, you'll do fine. You work on the art and level design, he works on gameplay and the raw code.

>>156779261
>Do you think that this is a good engine for us to work together in? Or did I make a mistake?

That is a very subjective question. Let me tell you why. The game engine should be chosen based on your requirements and the kind of output you wish to have with your game. And since you mentioned your friend has knowledge of C++, that's reason enough.

Always select the engine you think you will be most comfortable working with. You can make selection based on several factors such as the programming language, visual appeal, ease of use, etc.

Hope it helped.

Ideas always seem great until you're a few weeks into making them.

Is it bad to have sprited graphics with hand drawn portraits for characters during dialogue

>>156780317
Hand drawn is never bad unless you're shit at art

>>156780317
Just pixelate the potraits.

I feel like I'm going to get mocked for this, but here goes. As far as I know, visual novels/dating sims are only made in the Japanese style.
Yes, Visual Novels are infamous for being porn games, but a) perverts aren't unique to Japan, and b)not all of visual novels are porn-centric. Quite a number (Steins::Gate and Ever17) feature compelling stories and ideas. So they have potential at least, and the genre itself is a legitimate form, just as romance is a legitimate literary and film genre. But visual novels only ever done with anime characters, even when made by Western firms.
We have Mass Effect and Dragon Age and other branching narrative games that feature romance options, of course. But there, the romance element is a sub-plot at best and a minigame at worst. And you have Hatoful Boyfriend, which lampoons the whole genre.
But this still seems like an opportunity for innovation. Is anyone aware, has this been tried? And if not, why might that be?

Looking at this clickteam fusion bundle, does anyone have any experience with it?

From the descriptions it looks like it'd be mostly drag&drop, does it allow for custom code at all or am I fucked if I want to do anything more complex than moving a sprite around a screen?

>>156780686

It'll be a ton of work but if you don't get bogged down by small/dumb details I don't think you'll have an issue.

In Unity should I parent all visual components (meshes) to a separate GameObject so I can set more logical pivot points and transform the visuals independently of the root? Are there any performance implications of doing as such?

Try to work on a small game while reading. Everytime you learn something new that inspires you, try to code it into the project.

The problem with most tutorials on GM is that they either:
>are overlong and get people bored on simple stuff
>are too short and don't teach the newcomers how to be creative with their code
>try to put some concepts like making you think there's only 1 way of programming something

Parroting a tutorial is the best way to learn. Just don't stop when it stops.
Keep adding features. Do it over but slightly different. Make an effort to understand what the code does and why. And if you don't, read the documentation.

I intended to put those panels only on my site, but it's actually a good idea to put a reference to the game (logo + url), so those panels could be used outside the site. Thanks for the idea.

Fresh idea from a night of no sleep. You are employed by some sort of Space Federation/ wildlife management thing. Your job: send various probes out to a planet to catalogue and capture alien life forms. If you lose too many probes, or are an otherwise unprofitable employee, you're fired.

The more you discover about an alien (through observation and analysis), the more profitable it is, but of course the zoos like the dangerous ones, so capturing something that could wreck your probes can be worth the risk.

depends on how complex the turn based system is.

Really, a turn manager ain't that hard. Neither are basic stats like "speed" or "damage".

What gets hard is when you have multiple attacks that have to be unlocked in various ways, perform different functions with different types of damage, or sometimes no damage at all, have multiple potential targets, both player and AI, etc.

>>156786942

>>156786942
It depends on how complex your game is
If it's simple stuff like attack/defense and a few skills and no timed hits/animations nor equipment/modifiers it is super simple
The more features you add the more complex it gets obviously, and then there is balancing which can be a pain depending on how complex the system it

>>156783064

How do you make high quality webms? I don't wanna post gifs.

There's no way of making an extension method to inject a static function to a class eh? Google seems to indicate no.

Looking to do something like:
result = Class.MyCalculation(a, b);

but can only seem to get:
result = a.MyCalculation(b)

First person action oriented dungeon crawling.
I got some old webms showing some of the invetory and the abysmal test UI but those are out of date.

There are some stealth mechanics in place. In fact each of those lights (with the exception of atmospheric lighting like in the cell) is putting a certain light value on the character, making him visible to enemies (think: thief TDP).
At present you can lean around corners, you can pick up, consume and equip items. There is some basic AI and pathfinding and a dummy zombie enemy with attack animations and whatnot. Also there is a full RPG character system in the background, with sprinting, stamina consumption, weight etc.

I will be implementing the combat system soon. In fact for an old version of the game I already did that quite some time ago. REALLY old WebM related (UE 4.10 in fact). The current version doesn't feature that yet (despite being far more feature complete), but just so you get an idea where the fun is going.

Welcome to Fantasy Town

Create a new town
or join a town

Join

In this town, the farmer and the adventurer are already in use.
You can be Merchant or Priest.

Choose Priest.

==Priest arriving Sequence Plays==
Greeted by the INN owner
showing the church:
there is a lot of work to do
INN Owner: "I'm glad you are here. The people in this town behave really bad lately, especially [Insert Name of Adventure Player]. He tried to steal from the shop, because the former Merchant of this town has already left for a long time."
INN Owner returns to his INN.

Priest Player is controling now his charakter and can do things.

-Bringing his church forward
-visiting farmer player
-visiting adventurer player, when he is in town

Note:
Every Class has his own gameplay and little story which progresses.
But it connects the storys and quests of the different players once in a while.
visible changes, when game progresses, buildings can change. Example: A rich merchant has a fancy looking store.

Biggest inspirations:
Animal Crossing
and Princessmaker

The goal of the game:
The game is finite, there can be several different endings depending on what choices the different players make.
Romance is possible between female and male players.

>>156800353
which game engine would me allow a server client kind of game.

>>156800541

Even if its just between male and female players they're probably both dudes in real life anyway

how can I do that to other objects?

>>156800691
Risk of Rain, which was made in GM, has an online co-op mode. You connect through a third-party IP program like Hamachi (just like with Minecraft for example), open a room, tell the other guy to join it, insert the port number and hit "Play". It works quite decently, so yeah.

>>156800694
I think it's unnatural.
I can make an optional patch, if people want or release it as open source.

I don't think I will be able to add a save function for the gbjam though, it's not that big of a map anyway.

>>156800873
This sounds quiet well.
I'm just afraid what happens to the data, when every player or the host is leaving.

I think I have to think this a little bit more through.

But this sounds like, a permanent server should also be possible with this technique?

Will look into it a bit.

>>156800961
I mean, it's something god doesn't want. If I support it, I believe I'm actually damaging the people, becaue they think it's ok. But will realise later, it's actually not and would have wished someone told them instead of suporting it everywhere.

I'm also not perfect. But using a computer is ok with god I think. There is nothing bad written about this in any scripture.

As if God would think this way.

In English language, I don't always know what to capitalize, because you capitalize less than we do.

Why is God capitalized anyway? It's not his name, it's a title. We don't capitalize human, do we? God's name on the other hand should be capitalized.

http://atheism.about.com/od/doesgodexist/a/capitalization.htm

Ok, now I know.
God if you talk to a specific god. A 'god', if you mean just any 'god'.

No, I believe, when you do good things, good things happen to you.

And every unfortune in life has to do with your own decisions you made in this or previous life.

Im working on my game in game maker studio and I have noticed an issue in my menu. I am using surfaces but this is the only time that it is happening. Its that glitch effect.

Whats causing this? Any Ideas?

the start of a novel concept, a basketball horror game where the ball is your only source of light

Using Unity C#, have a logic question. I have a script with an Array, and I use the script multiple times. The Array is different sizes depending on the inspector value. Is it possible to setup an if condition that checks a specific array element vs all other possible array elements?

>>156807701
do you only need to check the size of the array? Otherwise just keep a mask array and check against that - there's no faster way to compare arrays that each element one at a time

who's up for a collab

>Do you think an Alone In The Dark tier horror game is feasable solo? I would probably do first person instead of 3rd, but I mean more like the general quality of the art assets?
there's literally a dude making one. The Sanix guy. He's making a "not-Resident Evil" type thing, and in like a week he made a crap load of progress

For jam or "real" project?

I'm starting to think I need a team to give me something to work on because nothing gets done when I have to decide by myself.

Problem is I can't really do shit. A bit of everything, shit at everything.

>>156808598
are you me?
Where i work, there are consultants in each zone, and i'm all around the place where as most of the other consultants stay in their zone.
too bad i'm not an expert in either zone.

>>156808598
real. you should probably tackle a simple project on your own before you try joining a team

>>156808437
Because you're not trying hard enough
