Decided to start antialiasing my sprites. Old sprites on left, new on right.

Thoughts? Is it an improvement?

So I lost my login info for GM and recovering was too much of a ten-minute hassle, so I started with Godot. I fucking love it. Creating UI with it is making me want to kill myself less than anything else right now! Even so much so that I haven't programmed a single second of gameplay, instead implementing a main menu and my own debug/cheat console for over a week now. Yet it actually helps with my depression.

Thanks for reading my blog!

could you try anti aliasing only around the hard edges on the interior , highlights look nice through

maybe leaving the outer edges a dark color would look nice too

just like making engine and simple mechanics has been the best thing for my state of mind in the last several years outside of new meds

>>157428405

Played around with the code some more and got them to do nice long patrol path on the grid. (had to use a huge number dont know why) Problem now is it wont check for player until it reaches its destination. Im using Gamer maker if that helps.

if (instance_exists(obj_player)) { //checks for player
var dis = point_distance(x, y, obj_player.x, obj_player.y); //get distance to player
if (dis < sight) {
state = scr_enemy_chase_state;
targetx = obj_player.x;
targety = obj_player.y;
}else{
scr_enemy_choose_next_state();
}
}else{
scr_enemy_choose_next_state();
}

How much money would I need to get a real soundtrack made?

Like Jasper Kyd or Yuka Kitamura.

>>157430963
oops wrong code

scr_check_for_player();
if (point_distance(x, y, targetx, targety) > spd){


var xx = (((x div CELL_WIDTH) * CELL_WIDTH + CELL_WIDTH/2) + irandom_range (-5000, 5000));
var yy = (((y div CELL_HEIGHT) * CELL_HEIGHT + CELL_HEIGHT/2) + irandom_range (-5000, 5000));

if( mp_grid_path(Level.grid_path, path, x, y, xx, yy, true)){

Only 7 songs are good from the entire trilogy and 3 of them are literally 1 song remixed a bunch of times.

I was gonna ask about demoday, how does it work?
If I've made something and shown progress on it on here but it isn't really playable yet, can I use it and enter with it in demoday 11? Or is it a from scratch no progress shown yet thing?

>>157431168
Holy fucking shit.

>>157431759
>it isn't really playable yet
Better get cracking, you've got three weeks

Demoday isn't a jam, its a periodic event to force devs to release something playable. Secondary to that is people actually playing it.

>>157431759
No, you absolutely should have shown progress before posting in demo day.

It isn't a time limit jam type thing.

>>157431759
I highly advise to post progress here before submitting to a Demo Day.

Your game should be somehow playable, I mean, we are talking about games here, but I've played with many demos where all I could do is walk around and quit.

So, just follow the title: just like make games!

>>157433046
How much of a background do you have in gamedev before that? Quake 1 would be fairly easy for babbys first fps in a 3d engine but if you're coming from no experience at all expect it to be too much.

>>157433315
>>157433410
Technically, I've been using Unreal for years, but only for modding UT titles so far.

>>157433754
You're going to have a hard time. I would start much smaller.

>>157434342
I'm not him, but what else could you start with in an engine like Unreal other than Quaqe 1?

I wouldn't even use Unreal at that point honestly. If he's been modding for long I have no doubt he can model/animate perfectly fine but with no concept of program or game design I think you'd just make a poorly coded/designed game.

Make a smaller game in Game Maker just to get those foundations down.

>>157428276

it's not the lack of AA that makes your sprites look shitty, it's your inability to draw
AA isn't something you should be wasting your time with

The very basic layout of the combat system is pretty much complete. Status system, action choices, etc. Just put in the actual health variables as well, although the way health is shown will probably be way different than this when I actually start prettifying everything, or attempt to since I'm terrible at HUD stuff.

Would you guys prefer a button on the bottom hud for changing position in the ranks, or perhaps arrows appearing on the side of the active character that can be clicked to skip the turn and move them back or forth, when no attacks are selected and you hover over them?

Nice original character design you got going there.

Is there a recommended engine for a 3D game? I have unity and unreal downloaded, but i'm not too sure. I finally wrote my first GDD, and I'm really happy about that, but it's all about the execution so it's time to get to work. Figured I'd start here and see what's the collective thought regarding engines.


I currently possess GMS:Professional Edition, Unity(Free), and Unreal. Thanks in advanced!

Exploring the idea of having your summon be controlled by you to give it that feeling of having to focus your magic on moving your minion/attacking/etc. while exploring but it already seems tedious. Could it be done better than direct control?

've been working with Unity for almost a year now, but only with UIs and 2D games in general. Basically, I've worked with visual novels and stuff like that, but I never explored 3D. I don't wanna model anything too complex, in fact, I think that low-poly games look more beautiful and match my style of dev way waaaaay more. Also, I'm sorry if this is too much of a noob question.

Hello Bethesda.
Then what's intelligence?

>>157442728
'Wisdom' is a useless stat because the player character gains knowledge every time he/she learns a new skill or spell and experience is usually communicated as its own stat.

From the player's perspective they gain knowledge of the game mechanics and experience simply by playing the game.

I remember in KotOR wis/int was simply used to separate different mental skills into two stats. (I think it was something like int increases force power strength and wis removed penalties for using force powers outside of your alignment)

So, I am making a simulator. One of the options I am thinking of is allowing the player to pick a starting location. In manufacturing, there are pros and cons to manufacturing products within certain countries.
Do you think it'd upset more people than what it's worth by adding regional benefits?
For example: USA would have higher quality, but more expensive employees. Whereas Mexico would have lessened quality, but much cheaper employees.
Granted, these are "starting" attributes, and can be upgraded.

>Intelligence is knowing Frankenstein wasn't the monster.
>Wisdom is knowing Frankenstein WAS the monster.

I think people nowdays aren't lacking so much intelligence as they do wisdome.

The western scholar is intelligent, the indian shaman very wise.

Wisdom is the hidden knowledge that's not superficial, but more hidden. Being intuitive correct. Like an instinct. With only intelligence, you only trust things you know. But with wisdom, you just trust, and are most of the time right.

>A low-Wisdom, high-Intelligence character is like an absent-minded professor. They're so absorbed in their own little world of arcana and book knowledge, that they don't even notice when they're walking into a cliff. Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory has a high Intelligence, low Wisdom, and low Charisma.

>A high-Wisdom, low-Intelligence character is a dimwit, but somehow still manages to make it through life. If your Intelligence is lower than 3, you can't even meaningfully communicate. However, you still generally relate to people well, you're kind, and you're able to know the right thing to say even without actual book learning ("I am not a smart man, but I do know this..."). Forrest Gump has a high Wisdom, low Intelligence, and low Charisma.

>Moma said, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get.

But the math student runs around and curses his life because he doesn't know why it's shit. In not caring too much for unimportant things, Forrest Gump shows more wisdom here.

But if you want to look for the definition of the wisdom and intelligence stat, like in those classic 6 stats, then you have to look it up in the DnD rules. Because that's where it's coming from.

Wizard is intelligent based. Druid is Wisdom based. Books vs. Nature.

If the game has nothing to do with DnD or the D20 system, then you can use and make up stats whichever you want. And which depicts the characters and the gameplay, the best.

Oh hey. Thanks for the advice last time.
I think the conversion went pretty well. It kept all the parts, and even saved the categories I made in 3dsmax, which maya didn't. It just removed the textures from the meshes, which is kind of a problem because the textures themselves aren't easily identifiable enough for me to put them back, but I have to try, or make some myself.

In the screenshot you can see. The duplicate meshes are all in the same position here. Do you think I can delete them?
Even if I delete them I can still put color, specular, bump maps on later right? It seems logical when I put it like this, but I'm nub so yeah.

You can always save the file as a backup before you do delete them. I've no fucking clue why they have a bunch of stacked models like that, but that's what you get for ripping.

You may want to check in the materials tab for each object to see what they might be (the part of the UI in the bottom left of your pic, one of the icons on that bar above the pic and the word "Scene" is a circle with orange and black in). Also worth checking on the models UVs to see if they came out properly.

Might be worth running through some Blender tutorials to learn your way around before you start working on that char model though.

As I started playing more I lost most of my real life friends and it became about socializing. My gaming slowly shifted to almost exclusively multiplayer and I was addicted to MMOs for years.

The problem is that if you're on a really small platform, it might be hard to rotate a slight amount, jump, and repeat ad infinitum. I'll try fixing my level design, but if that doesn't work I'll just fix the rotation.

I think this might be a logical next step because I can't even find that materials tab.


I realize the risk and legal issues surrounding ripping a model and will look into it if I ever get something that is worth releasing. If that time comes I can think about editing or remaking the model in such a way that it will become my own. Right now I just want to focus on combat mechanics first with a model that I feel passionate about.

>but I cant seem to find a starting point
That's because you don't know enough about programming yet. You probably have the basics down but I think it's quite common to not be sure how to approach new problems that are different from anything you've done before.

I still run to this problem quite a bit. That's why when I see someone post something programmatically interesting shit I usually ask how did they do it if I'm not sure where I'd start on such a thing myself even if I'm not planning to do anything like that.

Not really sure what you should do to fix the problem though. Try googling relevant shit to see if you can find people solving similar problems that you have.

>>157447193

I think compartmentalizing would help him the most. Didn't answer this because I thought it was a given, but seems to be getting a lot of responses.

Write down some basic shit you want to see happen that doesn't require other shit to already exist. If stuff requires other shit write that shit instead

Don't write down more than 5 things. Make them a reality. Now you have something that lacks a ton of stuff. Write down some more and accomplish them.

without more information I will say: if your entire foray into game dev thus far has been watching youtube videos, wew fucking lad. get a good programming textbook and do the exercises so that you actually know what you're doing. then you will at least sorta half-assed be able to read the documentation of something like game maker and possibly understand how to implement your ideas with it, read up on game dev libraries etc.

I'm sure some people will reply to this post "but I learned GML on youtube videos and can't otherwise program, and look at my cool game in this webm!" Well that's fine, I'm just saying that as somebody who has tried learning to make games AND learn programming at the same time, it was an awful experience and taking the time to actually work through books has made things a much lesser pain in the ass.

>doing performance tests in Unity
>trying to find out ways to maximize performance for an event system
>putting c# code in a dll and calling it seems to be really good

Getting a noticeable boost from a simple performance test when putting a for loop that performs an operation inside of a class on a dll.
It performed about 15% better than a regular for loop in the update and a for loop in a class like the one in the dll, but in unity's code.
I also tried it in every combination of order and a bunch of little things to see if it was something else.

This is a huge win for me because organizing libraries in DLLs is super easy compared to dealing with Unity, and Visual Studio has all the tools to work with it.


So now for a question: I'm creating an event system. The current planned functionality is
>Events are registered to either ints or strings.
>Events have a list of registered callbacks. Callbacks can have no return type, or have an object return type.
>Events can have their triggers removed or replaced easily, for remapping without loosing any listeners to that event id.
>Keyboard strokes have easy support for settings them as triggers.
>Func<bool> can be easily set up as a trigger
>Custom Axis interface to allow for easy axis setup for triggers
>You can design complex events by implementing given classes and interfaces which when the sequence of events occurs, act as a trigger
>You can register to events without triggers and manually fire them, passing in nothing or passing in a return type for the listeners
>Any return types are accepted and automatically handled

Anything else you can image would be useful? You can technically do everything int he complex events, but it's performance is less than other things that have direct support, and it takes a bit longer to write stuff for it.

Doesn't that mean you'd have to recompile the .dll every time you made a change though?

No y instead of x,y+sign(vsp)

I'm not a programmer but why does your vertical collision have 2 axis while the horizontal collision only has 1?

>>157437135
I personally don't delve into the source code of an engine to edit things. However open source is still useful. It lets your see exactly how some function is working without you needing to do experiments or hope the documentation is completely correct.

And beyond that it means if there's some dumb little bug it can be fixed by just about anyone with knowledge of the language and some knowledge of the engine. So it's much more likely that a bug will be fixed, unlike closed source engine which can have unfixed bugs for years.

>>157450223
If someone knows how to make a 2D platformer, then they would know about collisions, drawing sprites etc. so I don't see why you couldn't apply this knowledge to make something else. Reading a programming book might make it clearer how you can apply ideas you might already think you know. Also if he can't make a "button that does things" then I'm going to say he can't make a platformer either.

>>157437617
Any time you see a positive recommendation of an engine it is absolutely a shill. The only true yesdevs are those who make their games from basic frameworks.

>>157450476
That's the format of place meeting, you should specify x and y, also you seem to be looking at the dufferent respective parts of the code. Horizontal collision also has while(!place_meeting(x+sign(hsp),y,obj_surface))

Progress because. 90% of the people who've played my game complain about running speeds while backwards. You can no run backwards through everything. (You can ignore the jacked up car.)

>>157450207
As a programmer, I stopped making 3d models myself a long time ago. I figure here I am with nothing finished under my belt, just a metric fuckton of half finished half hearted husks of games. Spending too much time on things like that and still being disappointed at the outcome.

I'd rather brute force programmer art until I have something worth requiring art assets.

I've grown on the idea of paying for temp assets as well. Can feel good about how something looks for $30 and it would obviously take me leagues more time than that money is worth to accomplish half as much. It helps me focus on what I am skilled at rather than getting caught up on the small stuff.

>>157449218
I had to complete two Java courses at my university for a year, so I wouldnt call myself a complete beginner.

>>157450654
Obviously the button thing was a bit exagerrated, my main point was just that my brain is extremely bad at translating what I know to a different scenario. Shitting out a top-down shooter against enemies with fairly low AI is something I can "draw out" in my brain on how I would tackle it (walking, shooting, AI), but lets say a drag and drop menu is something I where I dont even know where to start. All in all, I probably just feel uncomfortable because there is no base (tutorial) for me to build on, whereas for top-down shooter, horizontal/vertical scoller, platformer I at least have a starting point from where I can take over. So its just me bitching about things being too hard.

shit anon you're bretty fucking good at mind-reading.

What do you think about starting with an idle-game before trying to do the shopkeeper shit I want to do? I could learn some of the basics of non-moving games (as in without a main-character that you move) and I'm pretty sure that shit should be possible for me to do.

or so I think

you just assumed a shopkeeper game is just button that does things.
then you proceed to deny it.
Next, are you gonna say you're pretending to be retarded??

>>157452425
I would say play around the features you will need first.
no use working on an idle-game that's not same to your shopkeeper game.
when you come back to your shopkeeper game, you will need to find out how to do those stuffs anyway.
If you're not in a hurry to have a complete game for sale or anything,
you can experiments on stuffs first.
e.g.
as shop-keeper, you will need to buy stocks in,
so you can work on a buying system.
have a menu that can show what you have in storage.
have another menu that shows the item you can buy.
press item, and you will add items into the storage.
etc.

I'm sure you know better, but it just is weird to me that you have 2 functions: horizontal and vertical collision that should be quite similar. So to clarify, and if this doesn't make sense I'll just shut up:

>your code:
//Horizontal collision
if (place_meeting(x+hsp,y,obj_surface))
{
while(!place_meeting(x+sign(hsp),y,obj_surface))
{

//Vertical collision
if (place_meeting(x,y+vsp,obj_surface))
{
while(!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vsp),obj_surface))
{
>shouldn't it be this?
//Horizontal collision
if (place_meeting(x+hsp,y,obj_surface))
{
while(!place_meeting(x+sign(hsp),y,obj_surface))
{

//Vertical collision
if (place_meeting(y+vsp,x,obj_surface))
{
while(!place_meeting(y+sign(vsp),x,obj_surface))
{

I am utterly lost now. I checked the code and all the relevant parts are the same that are from totally working tutorial, objects have same flags, sprites have precise collison checking disabled, the fuck am i doing wrong?

>>157453634
once again, trails arent smears.
yall niggas not being able to tell the difference is far more triggering than the smears themselves.

Here's the whole thing, i still hope that's some syntax error or something that slipped by me (though GM wouldn't let me proceed with syntax errors).
//Get the player's input
key_right = keyboard_check(ord("D"));
key_left = -keyboard_check(ord("A"));
key_jump = keyboard_check_pressed(vk_space);
key_attack = mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left);
key_attack_1 = mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_right);

//React to inputs
move = key_left + key_right;
hsp = move * movespeed;
if (vsp < 10) vsp += grav;

if (place_meeting(x,y+1,obj_surface))
{
vsp = key_jump * -jumpspeed;
}

if (key_attack = 1) instance_create(obj_player.x,obj_player.y,obj_slash);
if (key_attack_1 = 1) instance_create(obj_player.x,obj_player.y,obj_projectile);

//Horizontal Collision
if (place_meeting(x+hsp,y,obj_surface))
{
while(!place_meeting(x+sign(hsp),y,obj_surface))
{
x += sign(hsp);
}
hsp = 0;
}
x += hsp;

//Vertical Collision
if (place_meeting(x,y+vsp,obj_surface))
{
while(!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vsp),obj_surface))
{
y += sign(vsp);
}
vsp = 0;
}
y += vsp;

//Animate
if (move!=0) image_xscale=move;
if (place_meeting(x,y+1,obj_surface))
{
if (move!=0) sprite_index = spr_player_run; else sprite_index = spr_player;
}
else
{
if (vsp < 0) sprite_index = spr_player_jump; else sprite_index = spr_player_fall;
}

Is there any good 2D artist here who would like to do the art for my game? I can give you a big discount when it comes out.

There's no errors, that's the problem. Sprite moves perfectly while in air, jumping works, but when it's collided with the surface below it just won't move left or right.

if i were you i'd solve the issue myself even if it took me a whole fucking week because i'd learn a hell of a lot. game development = debugging. comment out the whole thing and then rewrite it until you have a complete understanding of everything and the issue.

I realized today that the 'game' I was trying to make was basically a glorified AI/state machine sandbox farming/management sim and the if all the pieces work there is basically no reason for the player character to exist except to sort of walk about and observe these villages and characters and cause imbalance.
