Nodev here, that was pretty rude.

First for people putting down beginners to make themselves feel good about themsevles.

>>158038709
(fire button) for those that want to rebind. Also works better for non-controller uses.

Is this what game development does to people?

At least add some boops and bleeps.

Neat.

How does it handle buttons that aren't labelled there, like thumb buttons on some mice?

>>158039114

>>158039686
Wow that's pretty cool! You didn't steal this from reddit right?

>>158039449
And that's the reason you'll never amount to anything.

Because you care about people being nice instead of improving.

I'd recommend a hugbox like reddit for you, but apparently you feel quite welcome in agdg's hugbox instead.

>>158039325
Literally just ignore them, they won't go through, I already got threatened 3 times in the last 5 years, not once did they go further than the email. Patent trolls wins by making you think they can win, so you just settle outside court.

>>158039441
to be honest i have no idea if gms can even detect them.

>>158039779

>>158039874
Gm is for bad people.

>>158039092
I could bring this game with me if I went to a desert and I'd survive for a month with no water or food. I'd just have to drink the JUICE out of this game.

I want to progress, but my regular urge to play vanilla WoW is ticking again. I don't want to loose another 1-2 months of dev time. Please, help.

Is this good combat music?

>>158040214
How does a LLC even help you?

What sets the difference between a Game Designer and an Idea Guy?

>>158040401
One is paid the other isn't.

>>158040401
Game Designer is someone who fucks about with numbers (combat, player stats etc.), level design, stuff like that.

An idea guy is someone who goes "it's a skyrim MMO but with minecraft building".

hello friends. not trying to shill my self but I'd really like to offer doing music and possibly sounds for anons' games. i'm doing this shit for free for right now, I've got 4 years experience.

I'd prefer if you already had already started development at least. Instead of just having "ideas" and I would be waiting and not doing anything.

if anyone is interested.


[email protected]

>>158039870
why are you even posting as me?
>I already got threatened 3 times in the last 5 years
is it so you can make this asspull seem legit?

im not sure why a patent troll would even attempt to go after gamedevs, games are legally art and as a result none of videogame patents have actually ever been defendable property in court, big companies just patent fucking everything to try to use against each other even when it's literally useless.
things to worry about are copyright and trademarks.

>>158040271
Thanks
I heard Perturbator for the first time and I wanted to make something like it. I hope I can find a game that needs music to work with.

Being a nodev does not imply being a failure. Also I don't see why should I be the one to change instead of you.

You're never going to improve if you keep thinking that.

>>158040875
How do I know you won't dmca me and steal my game?

>>158040876
I also don't see how denying facts would lead to improvement

You are taking thing to the extreme so you can discredit my point, if you are incapable of discussing matters as an adult maybe you shouldn't be in a business forum.

>>158041775
For what purpose?

>>158041861
Other than the fact it does not apply, there are many things wrong with that analogy, the most striking being that we cannot know whether the first person is male or female. Should it be female, liking to be fucked by men does not in any way imply in being gay.

Alright, this is gonna sound autistic, but I'm undertaking a challenge to create a simple game (really a proof-of-concept) without using sprites. Instead, I'm using the built-in functions of GML to draw sprites pixel-by-pixel and using states to control animations, frames, etc.

I have the feeling that the answer is gonna be no, but is there a performance benefit from going this route?

Doubt it since you would be calling draw_rectangle a shit ton of times instead of just once.

I use Unity, I parent all weapon to my character(currently I hate 10), then I deactivate them until the character equips them, that works because of how Unity handles deactivated stuff, in other engines where such handling doesn't exist they generally hide stuff underground.

It works exactly like castlevania stairs.

If you're near it, it will first walk closer to the stairs and then get on them.
Once you're on them, pressing up/right or down/left will move you 8 pixels at a time on the stairs, holding it will just make you keep going.

Just like in the original game, but seeing as you're a nodev shitposter, I don't expect you to ever played the game.

I had been dragging my feet for a while and decided to finally start something. The idea was to quickly mock up a character design, then split its parts for animation in spriter. I'm too unfamiliar with these tools. I spent an hour just looking at the different brush options, and I can't even figure out how to get the anti-aliasing the fuck off to use the bucket tool. It was only supposed to be the character design, but that linework's not salvageable. I'll use a place holder for the time being, but I'd have been much more enthusiastic if I could get it half passable. Looks like I have to go back to the drawing board.

I made my point last thread that this isn't difficult problem to solve. Some people who have no knowledge about programming came and said that it was. Then I proved my point that it isn't by solving it.

The designer is the one who makes a spreadsheet with all the stats of the game, the one who figures out the math behind damage numbers and how they interact with things.

Take WoW for example, the class designers don't go "well pyroblast should hit hard!" and then leaves it there, they fuck about with numbers and make equations where the damage of pyroblast is figured out. It's a relatively simple skill by itself (400% of spell power) but then you have to add in crit, haste, versatility, mastery and all the other skills the fire mage uses, how they interact, how they sim out for damage and how they work out in damage in the real game with real players. Then decide if fire mage damage is too high or too low, decide pyroblast is where you'll nerf them and change it to be 390% of spell power.

>>158047498
Never used C# but in most languages you have to write &&, not &, and everything has to be in the same set of parenthesis. Try:
if (one && two){
three
}

>>158047498
if (one && two)
{
three
}

Ah, so an idea guy with numbers and a spreadsheet.
He's useless if he doesn't implement the changes himself, a dev doesn't have time to listen to "muh numbers"

The only useful designers are mapmakers.

>>158047691

C# does have a & operator.

I never said they don't implement the numbers themselves, just giving the distinction between saying "x needs a nerf" (which anyone can say, it doesn't need an "idea guy" to come up with that) and how best to properly nerf x (taking into account everything related to x).

Another example, a "tech tree" is an idea. A designer would have to give each tech node a science value to unlock it, likely increasing in value towards the end of the tree. And all those values have to be something easily attainable (but not too easy) at various stages of the game. That's a bit more work than having the idea for it.

Also an important point the walls look papery because they have no depth. Look at the doorway in this pic and pls add depth to the sides of the door frame

So I've been messing with GMS the last few weeks, and decided I want to convert a tabletop war game ruleset I came up with to an actual game. Before I dive in I was wondering a few things though:

1 - How do you manage height differences in a 2d game, even if it's isometric? (Elevated units get to-hit bonus, for example)

2 - Should I bother looking into using basic 3d blocks for terrain or should I do it in an isometric style (what I'm more comfortable with).

3 - If I do use an Isometric style, is it a shit ton more work to make the camera able to rotate the map so you can see units hiding behind buildings and stuff?

>>158049142
Nah I'm the one who shit on your progress and it was something else.

>>158049305
Also, the art look really cool.

>>158047000

>>158047441
>>158048563
Alright, thanks anons. I'll still try not to cause any more drama though, so I'll only post when it's positive progress.

>>158049537
As long as I'm here, your progress will always get shit on.

>>158038709
hi could you post the webm of the enemy that bounces off the wall

>>158048609
Wait, you can ask money for that? Shit, I've been doing it for free all those years...

>>158049317
You store the height in a grid and draw the tile with a lower y coordinate (further up on screen). The bonus can be derived from that stored value.

Isometric is super fine, once you wrap your head around it. 2D logic is easier and so is the art. Logic stays the same for isometric, just the jump from data -> drawing on the screen is a bit different.

Rotating camera may be a bitch and requires 4 sides of every element instead of one to draw. How about dealing with transparency instead to find hidden units?

>>158049610
alright then.

>>158048396
Move back in with your parents

>>158049537
>I'll still try not to cause any more drama though, so I'll only post when it's positive progress.
Don't start like that. Any progress is good progress by being progress. It's inherent.
You can't control the drama. You need to learn to either embrace it or ignore it. You will not be able to avoid it. Better to become immune to it.
Remember that nobody gives a fuck about you personally when they start to fling shit. It's just for the purpose of flinging shit.

What about if there are units in the same 2 story building, but one is directly beneath the other. Does that work in iso?

Yeah, transparency was the first idea I had. Or like a button to turn the visibility of the walls on/off.

Is making 3d character models objectively the hardest part of game design?

>>158052205
First movement: The constant arpeggio is not exactly bearable for anything other than a commercial. You keep adding instruments without anything replacing another. It piles on and increases noisiness. And I get SS13 flashbacks, there are some very unharmonic tones in there around 3:00.

Second: Sounds like four dudes found four akkordeons and can't compromise on a tempo to play in. Also sounds like two of them are fighting each other about who gets to be the lead.

Third: Suffers from too many instruments like the first movement, but worse. You already said you recognised its business.

Fourth: Complete 180. I kinda dig this one, but I don't think it fits the tone of your gameplay. It'd be suited to a game over screen.


Overall I think my suggestion is: Less is more. It appears as though you are afraid of silence and just cram stuff in wherever you find space.

You should check out these:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTi6LG8aeK8 - OTTD soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkXOxLpdMds - SimCity 3000 soundtrack

Especially OTTD has exactly the style you are looking for, or should be if you aren't. It has that bustling feeling of many cars rushing to get to their destination, yet at the same time finds itself distinctive in instrument choice and gives each one more weight by not overloading the tracks with variety. Strong motive, simplistic in execution. In a rush without hurry.

In Unity shader scripts, what would be the param that I'd have to have to have the shader interact with color being set?
None of the shaders that are inbuilt let me color my particles.

Also goddamn the new unity particles are fun

I only recorded a portion of the whole screen,
and yes, it is progress since yesterday there was no AI and now there is, it's not really sharp minded, but it works.

thanks

My issue is that those don't actually /do/ anything for my shader. None of the color options do.

fucking 4chan ruining my shitty pun, the h should have been a spoiler.

>>158058461
oh, you said that none of the built in particle shaders allow you to change colour but they do

I have no idea if you're using your own shaders, sorry

It's the HUD, and let's you know who you're currently controlling

>>158058229
mate calm down, this is 4chan, the snarky comments mean people love you and want to interact with you, you don't have to rationalize your progress

shit looks amazing my dude

Are you always whimp, until you take over someone else?

So is Spriter Pro actually any good or no?

It's looks kinda nice.

Hey, i poested a few times on /v/'s game dev progress threads.
But I haven't seen a thread in a while, so i guess i'm gonna post here now.
tl;dr introduction:
Squirrel platformer along the lines of SNES classics like DKC series, Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island

Added Carrying/Throwing items and swimming (next webm).

Anon, that picture, my heart, it hurts. Thank you! I find sketchy images more appealing for some reason, so that's a great plus.

I want her to ask me for some money to buy some new CDs, and I would say okay, here you go, you was pretty good at school recently, and I would make her her favorite milkshake while she listens to them. ;_; Maybe I browse this place too much.

Why is that I feel nothing for regular animu women and vidia girls, yet /agdg/ just produces waifu after waifu?
