It's not a strategy game though, it's an rpg roguelike.

They aren't 'Races' as much as they are classes.

Imagine Path of Exile, but instead of having Ranger, Witch, Warrior etc. you have an Elf, Orc and Human.

Same thing.

>>156855076

Yeah, it's the same thing, except you're making a sci-fi game you dingaling, and a hell of a lot of people play games because of their setting rather than their gameplay - sci-fi especially. The audiences are entirely different.

Tutorials are like frozen pizza, I wanna make mine from scratch. Well, maybe not scratch, but one of those pizzas that are prepackaged crust and your just add cheese and sauce before you bake it.

Well, I see why indie devs choose gay little visual styles since actually making nice looking models is next to impossible.

That being said, what's the best visual style?

>>156855736
Fucking this! Placeholder Title looks amazing and it's just boxes. With a game that looks that good, it'd be easy for Placeholderdev to get an artist to work for him.

Prototype until you find something f*n. Easy starting point is to just rip off a proven formula that you personally enjoy and do your own take on it. It doesn't have to have a snowflake mechanic, it just has to be f*n. Differences will come naturally unless you're literally copypasting a game. It's like drawing from memory.

Well I'm a programmer looking to gain some experience (and maybe a portfolio) by making small demos, and a collab sounds like a fun way to doing that, but I got no ideas of my own right now. If you already had something in mind it'd be easier.

I'm no expert but I know the basics of C++ and C#. I've also fiddled a bit with both GM and UE4 so I'm fine with both 3D and 2D. I'd even be fine with lewd games

spaghetti code question, i have this old toaster (from 2005) who can't run the game at 60 fps and makes the spriter animations slow, i made this "low quality" mode with this code and it makes it a bit choppy but better than slow mode

is this a bad idea? the game logic kinda relies on 60 fps animations..

>>156859135
maybe you could make the level scroll faster, the lower you are. To keep pace with the player, you know?

>>156859227
Not yet, but he will. Castlevania-style daggers/throwing knives, axes etc. Also, stomping enemies.

>>156859372
Yeah, I probably will do that. Right now the level scrolling doesn't even affect anything, I've yet to implement it properly.

>>156855076
>It's not a strategy game though, it's an rpg roguelike.

If anything that makes what you're trying to do even worse.
4x and strategy games can get away with some functional cross over to the races, but a RPG or roguelikes with classes that have the same functionality is pretty absurd.
Indeed, half the replay value of the vast majority of roguelikes and roguelites is doing fresh runs with the various unique classes or characters.
Making an rpg roguelike with 4 classes that have the same functionality and can get all the skills kills off most of the core strength of the genre.
I dunno bro, at first glance it doesn't seem like you understand why these types of game are popular.

Also, you realise that you're making a rogue like space game with a logo and title that are practically indistinguishable to FTL? A strategy game would already be too close to comfort, but a rogue-like with that logo and name screams lazy knockoff.

I wish that was the case. The only thing that doesn't make you cry in the engine is creating stunning environments.

How the fuck do I encapsulate input so I can use the same input to control a ton of different objects? Like left click selects a unit, or interacts with the UI... but I don't want a unit to be unselected when you click the UI, but how the fuck do I code it so the UI doesn't know what a unit is and a unit doesn't know what a UI is...

>>156863324
Depends, I don't think anyone is going to care if you rip a model of a few doodads from some THQ games from the mid 2000's. If you are ripping character meshes those might be very easily noticable.

There is actually the bigger issue though - of artistic consistency in the project. A game with clashing visuals is worse to look at then a game with crappy but consistent ones.

You might be better off creating your own models.

It's not though, I'm not struggling with that aspect. I'm struggling with encapsulation.

Code like this is fairly common in tutorials:
Player Update()
{
if(IsMouseButtonDown() == true)
Shoot();
}

but I don't want the player to shoot if they're over a UI element, so I'd have to do something like

Player Update()
{
if(IsMouseButtonDown() == true && Mouse.IsOverUI() == false)
Shoot();
}

but that's fairly absurd looking.

Post mechanics to add into my metroidvania game which will be made never.
Help me create a good metroidvania.

Hey, OGL devs, I would like to ask something.

I'm fairly new with OpenGL, I'm following the tutorials on learnopengl.com. I was testing the performance of the program and I've realized that it's running on 60 FPS without me telling it to use vsync. In the mean time, I see that the program uses 25% of CPU, so I assume 1 core out of 4. It makes me assume that the logic runs at full speed, while rendering is capped at screen refresh rate by default.

It doesn't seem to be a problem, I prefer using delta time in my calculations anyway, but I wonder if there's a way to set these things by myself (like there is if I just use plain SDL2).

>>156864326
Just use layers.

OpenGL by default does not cap FPS
it's either running at max or there is a program limiting it.

I do. However, I think if you want to get better with JS, just use plain JavaScript with the canvas and figure out the rest for you. Libraries like Phaser or Easel just do so much for you (collision, physics, helping with looping trough the frames of an animation etc.). If you want to make a game, and you already have your asses ready, then go for them for fast results. If you want to get better at JS, and would like to learn about its own functions and capabilities, then go for pure JS.

On the other hand, I don't think it'll help you in your work. Working with JS usually means that you have to manipulate DOM elements, handle input texts etc. If you are going to make a game, you'll only meet with a small portion of JS. So when you are done with your game, try to build a website for it with the use of JS to enhance your knowledge.

The thing is, the important part of design is not what 95% of idea guys do. It's not coming up with a supercool new game concept, it's working out how to make the game good. Rather than coming up with 200 powers for your MC, it's taking a game where you can only jump and punch and making it fun. Platform placing, enemy behavior, etc. That's the important (and hard) part of design.

I'm pretty happy with my Deus Ex style "frobbable" indicator that uses an entity's bounding box to calculate the 4 corners. I convert the 8 bounding box points to normalized device coordinates and then to clip coordinates. Finally, I get the lowest X and Y values for the corners.

I could do it like Thief and just light objects up a little, but this was more fun to do.

I work for a big company, the rate for a generic song bought from a library is generally 49 dollars.

Licensed music is expensive as fuck, we once paid a famous song for our game 27K dollars, and it wasn't Calvin Harris-tier famous.

Custom made osts, with lyrics, high level music with recording and shit cost more or less 10K per game (the full ost, not a single song)

So, no, 10 euros for a retrogame tune made by a guy on the internet is cheap, but not that much off the charts

Would there be a performance gain by caching the position of a cached transform each update and accessing that rather than calling position directly from the cached transform itself.

yeah, gonna keep the round ones for enemy bullets, since they still have round hitboxes so you can easier tell for dodging purposes

Those textures are way, way lower res than actual N64 or PS2 textures anyway. Pic related is what spook looked like in the N64 era.

I am concerned with your use of the very dark hue on the BG, it will make a mess with your sprites. Maybe don't go futher than the second darkest?
