Left is more fidel. Right is more INDY MEME.
Left is uglier for a 2016 audience, but I'd take it.

I'm not sure what to work on now.

I mean there's a lot to be done, but some might take a while...

* Work on police AI (would need some pathfinding re-work I think to make non-traffic-abiding car pathing work, and also probably something that synchronized the on-foot + in-car pathing)

* Work on loli-looking-after post-kidnapping. Maybe some GUIs for some stats, adding in toilets (right now they just piss on the ground if they have a full bladder), other stuff like that?

* Work on more NPC-NPC interactions (maybe some quick-simulated things so I can simulate an entire day in like a few ms, so that I can simulate like 10 years of events to have 10yo lolis? - although this is a bit weird since those would be probably all-alone things, but how would I do npc-npc interactions? spawn them all then coordinate one big thing? might be weird if some lolis wouldn't be born when you're simulating others...)

* Maybe saivng/loading?

* Something else?

I drastically decreased the rate at which cars spawn at the homes. I like it; it encourages the player to carefully allow the cars to share roads, etc., and in general makes the game progress better.

Still need to balance revenue/costs, though. I ran out of money way too early there.

>>157894450
The way I'd imagine you'd have time skipping is to have a simulation of that period that accounts for events that might happen. It would be simulated, hence random each time you'd run it, but it might simulate births in the population at large. Deaths too, if you're accounting for ages.

Then you could account for family-specific changes too. Relationship changes, if they have skills, maybe changes in them for simulation of time passed. If you did skip time, you should simulate it as much as you can. Do you think you'd go that far? Or just fudge it?

>>157895982

Yeah but basically how it is I was just spawning lolis in houses then simulating them alone until they're the age of which they should be...

but if I want there to be interactions between them, it might be kind of hard? Should I put them all in some simulation-queue, and only interact with ones who have positive ages?

Like once the game is up and running I plan on having actual interactions for the simulation, I'm jut not sure if I should have those for the initial town creation too?

Bashed through a few of the UE4 tutorials and started playing around with the materials node thing and decided to import an old KSP mod asset just to see how it looked.

Now KSP has custom (very simple) shaders in Unity that basically only comes down to diffuse in RGB + specular in A. I bashed up a very simple copy of that but threw in some metallic highlights (since UE4 is PBR) using a multiplied version of the spec map.

Came out okay, looks just like a nicer version of the regular asset in Unity. So glad I decided to try UE4 out, seems a hell of a lot more user friendly in some respects than Unity does.

Is it a hopeless attempt to try and make vidya without an engine like the ones in the OP if I absolutely can't figure out how to do things unless someone holds my hand through the entire process?
Honestly I've been trying for the past 2 years to get collision to work in Love

What takes you faggots so long to make a game? Art is the only thing that takes long

>>157897580
I disagree, imagine you're actually exploring that dungeon, going through winding passages just to end up at a dead end is really unfun, and doesn't really make sense.
If it's like a level for a Minotaur or something then maybe it will make sense because it lives in maze.

But to be honest this is a pretty generic and boring dungeon, even if it is cool to watch.

>>157898083
>Art is the only thing that takes long
That's what takes us so long to make a game.

>>157898046
>Honestly I've been trying for the past 2 years to get collision to work in Love
You will absolutely not be able to make an engine. There's absolutely no reason to. Love isn't even much of an engine. Just use an engine and make a game, you could have had a game by now.

>>157898046
If you're having that much trouble with solving problems in code, you should probably team up with a programmer. That part is not going to get easier for you just by switching to an engine.

>>157898046
I'd recommend using ue4 and blueprints if you understand the basics of programming such as loops, variables, and so on.

>>157898146
I said it looked better not that it would play better. (dead ends could work without a shroud system i suppose)

I think creating pretty-looking level architecture is actually rather important when it comes to procedural, because procedural tends to generate levels which look like vomit.

>tfw missed the gamemaker bundle
>tfw i will never stop being nodev to make the fangame i've been planning out

>>157898642
Fangame of what?

>>157898545
Better looking levels don't look good in-game when they play poorly, it only looked good because the gif was pretty. And even the finished dungeon didn't look that pretty, like I said it was very generic.

There's lots of ways to make procedural generation that looks way better than that. One nice way is using hand-made parts that fit together in the generation.
Here's a talk that's pretty good when it comes to procedural games

Well shit, I thought I sucked for taking as long as I did (4-6 weeks? IDK) working on it and getting the detection and resolving working right. There are collision modules on the LOVE site and you can find more out there. I used the simplest one they had and then built on it.
If you want to build something from scratch, here's a tip: check the corners and their relation to each other, that's about all you really need.

Is it even worth it to try to make a video game anymore? It feels like any time you ever try to make anything, 100% of your potential audience will complain. No one will ever enjoy anything, ever. The most avid players of your game will be your biggest detractors.

Im in the process of trying to tackle problems in bokube that people didn't like in the playtesting/agdg demos over the last 6 months
one of them being if you push your puzzle cube the wrong way you have to restart the entire level
iv made it now so if your puzzle cube dies, or you fuck up, it will respawn at its starting position
this makes it so you dont have to restart the entire level as well and if you've unlocked doors/killed enemies you get to keep that progress

I agree that there is no such thing as "if you don't make it in x amount of time you won¨t make it" you could release 100 failed games over the course of 30 years and then suddenly release one that gains traction and you finally make it, game dev is a lottery like that.
the problem is that it is also likely that you won't ever make it, which is scary, but you can always retain it as a hobby and ride the lottery train to the maybe town
But if what you wrote is real then you had a great life.. some people just flip proverbial burgers and never do anything interesting their entire lives basically. If i could work as a teacher in japan for example that would be a great job.

Anyone had contact with combination of android, unity and streamwriter or just android, unity and data saving?
I have weird problem, when there is no file, I can create it and write data in it with no problem, but when I try save something in file already created, it just clears everything in that file.
And weirdest thing, everything works fine on PC, so I kinda can't even debug it.

If you can already draw, 3D sculpting should only take as long to get good at as it takes to learn the software.

In gamemaker, I have a room with a view that follows the player character which is 500 x 375 in size. I have a background of the same size. How do I make it so that no matter how much the view moves, the background is "fixed" to it?

no bully, I'm obviously new to this

>>157916320
If what you mean by "fixed" is that the background follows the view you will have to draw the background with code and use the position of the view as your x and y when drawing said background.

Hi /agdg/. I'll try to be short.

I only know C# and I want to make a fast-paced 2D game, mostly for myself. What's the best language and framework to do this in? My priorities are syntax similar to what I know (or just C#) and a framework with GOOD documentation, not some bullshit like SDL, where you have docs for a completely different language and you're supposed to adapt them for your needs on your own.

I will look around on my own, but if you have suggestions, I'd certainly welcome them. Killing myself is not an option though.

Monogame

>>157916795
XNA or Monogame. Monogame especially if you want to port to linux or want to use the really nice Monogame.Extended library (which should actually work in XNA if you change the references on its source, but who can be fucked with that?)

>>157916795
>2D game
GM:S
but GM:S 2 is coming out soon,
so i guess you can wait for it to come out first?

>>157916795
You can use Monogame along with either Monogame or XNA docs because the docs on Monogame itself, aside from the class reference, are very sparse.

If you don't want to muck around making the game logic from the ground up, you can check out Nez, which is a component-based engine made on top of Monogame. Though it also doesn't have too much on docs, it's not hard to figure out.

>>157916623
I looked around, you mean something like this?

draw_background(bck_Sky, view_xview[0], view_yview[0]);

The background doesn't show up at all, and I'm using view 0. Should I not place the code in the room's creation code?

>>157917309
Code is perfect, but you have to place it at an object's draw event.
All "draw" functions always go in the draw event.

>use player's current speed to get scrolling speed
>want to set ground tile instantiation speed based on player's current speed as well, so that player can't outpace tiles
>tile generation is done at Start via InvokeRepeating

Should I switch to a coroutine instead? Or I could just make tiles longer I guess, the whole thing is still just a concept test anyway.

I could also go back to just looping a small set of tiles, but I'm interested in the ability to throw random sets of tiles out there and just make it work.

If I worked hard at it I could fake it all, just have some sidelines objects that blur by really quickly, and draw some road lines that animate scrolling faster and faster with player speed.

More importantly though, my attempt at writing my own speed/acceleration system is still pretty flawed, so maybe I'll work out kinks on it first and then go back to scrolling focus.

No it's not. You spend 30 hours writing a platform layer and then you can write your games, you refine along the way and when you're done you can reuse your refined engine for future games and keep on improving. In 5 years you'll have a very solid engine and experience that actually do what you want it to do.

enginedevving is first and foremost a job for highly qualified codemonkeys who know what they're doing or really passionate nerds whose aim is more of programming masturbatory rather than making an actually playable title

>>157922489
Depends how elaborate you want it to be. Noise would just be a distance calculation, i.e. test the distance from sound to anyone who can hear it. You could make a raycast or a collision box or something to check for walls in the way and reduce the range of the noise, but that's not as simple.

For smell I'd have some kind of tile-based system that stores the smell in each tile, that way you could have smell that moves around and stays in place and spreads and can be erased locally and is blocked by walls.

>whose aim is more of programming masturbatory rather than making an actually playable title
Is it that hard to believable that for some of us game dev is just that? Games are artificial realities. It's a fun way to learn about physics, math and what not. Yes, I had to realize I don't have a single solid idea for a game, nor have any patience to get into art, so using an engine like GM or Unity would end the fun for me in a few days. Yes, I love to live in the delusion that one day my coding skills would make me a fine code monkey at an engine dev job. What will you do about it? Soon we will legalize weed, and no one will care what you'll put your dick in, yet I can not have my daily fun of writing parsers and collision detection systems? If it turns out to be a game which is fun for others, then it's fine for me, but I have come to the realization that I enjoy learning and experimenting rather than designing a game, so the journey is more important to me.

Making a game to cash in on the Red Dead hype. What games have good revolver gunplay? How do you make it more intricate?

I'm thinking something like having to tap reload for each shell you reload, and timing the pushes makes it faster to reload or something.

Also, tapping shoot while switching to your revolver will execute a quick shot from the hip, like in old western draws. It will be accurate , but you won't have a cross air to help you.

webm doesn't support transparency, anon.
Why do you need a transparent video anyways?
Please tell me you're not planning to use a webm in your game.

>>157930427
There isn't a single proper way because different games have different requirements for the inventory. But in a pretty basic form its a collection of data that looks like this
>pointer or identifier to flyweight data: item is a broadsword
>data specific to the item instance(s): +2 vs skeletons
>quantity
Depending on your needs you can cut some of those though. At some point you will also have to probably consider runtime vs save data formats.

Making an Ace Attorney/Dangan Ronpa game on Renpy.

The animations are simple enough but Renpy can't handle them. Even if you upload each png separately it fucks up the animations half the time - beginning the animation in the middle of the loop and what-not.

Movie sprites do the trick just fine, though.

As long as the ending is stronger than Aviary Attorney.
Aviary Attorney had sweet art, and a compelling story, but fell apart at the end.

You can't beat Danganronpa

>>157932287
Can't say for sure about the ending, but I can promise you one hell of a middle act.

>>157930427
my method is pretty simple,
>List<Item> inventory= new ArrayList<Item>()
>inventory.add(new Gun())

>>157932370
Hahaha, but I'm animating the sprites with my BRAINWASH techniques, it works by stimulating the cortex of the eyes.

>>157932437
If you can promise me a solid middle, PLEASE GIVE ME A SOLID END.

A story with an unsatisfying end leave you wanting something else. Sometimes a cop out end can work, "forget it Jake; it's chinatown." however very rarely is it satisfying.

Not much progress to report today. Passive skill tree is getting out of hand.

At about 500 nodes now, easily going to pass 800 by the time I finish.

how do I make a particle that doesn't look like crap?

>>157934204
No there is currently no workaround nor do we have plans to fix it any time soon as unfortunately it is a hard problem to fix given the current implementation of portals and vector field steering.

>>157934154
Did Nintendo make that game? Cause it looks like shit.

Needs more dust particles

>>157934703
How did you do the dust? I'm interested in this.

>>157934841
I'm using Unreal dust system, it's literally just drag and drop.

>>157934841
It's a sphere with a little black smudge on it that fades out over time, one burst, and goes from light brown to white. Also youngest first sorting.

>>157934791
Spawns the object every second frame already, any more and it becomes wonky looking. It's a one week project and I'm too lazy to actually write something that spawn them based on distance.

>>157935303
I would assume Unity's particle system has an option to spawn more based on the speed of the emitter

>>157935501
I don't feel like reading the docs.

>>157934154
I can only imagine what's going on in /v/ right now.

>>157935501
Not really, there is an option to set it up based on distance though, so I might rework it, but for now it will stay like this.

Todays progress.

Added a random chance of a vulture spawning when you kill an enemy. The vulture will be players source of HP.

You kill enemy, which has a chance of spawning ammo.
Vulture comes and if you kill the vulture it has a chance of spawning HP. If you're too slow it will fly away.

It's a nice game loop imo.

I've noticed the majority of reviews here are exclusively about Gogum (and mostly negative, as expected) but what these reviewers seem to be leaving out (or perhaps, didn't have the pleasure of experiencing) was the Nodevs aspect of this product. Everyone knows Gogum isn't known for having the best support (in fact they're known for having the WORST support), but Nodevs however is on the other end of that spectrum, and if you purchase this internet package through Nodevs, you don't actually have to deal with Gogum (at least during the setup process), making for a much more enjoyable support experience

pls add option to tuck him in, poor guy looks chilly.

let's say i have a long method

void shit(vector2 v,int i, float s, bool b)

you call it by doing

object.shit(v,i,s,b)

now lets say i use this method very often.im wondering is there any way to cache the parameters, so that i can just do

object.shit(cached_param);

the cached params will include the v,i,s,b already

>>157937309
I can do better with Unity.

Looking to make a simple isometric city building game about real-estate and zoning. Wondering what engines to use I'd love2d doesn't fit the bill
