How are you guys implementing serliaization/deserialization for saving your games? And what language/engines?

I'm implementing it for my game right now but it probably is going to be a pain to add it in right now, compared to having it in from the start...

Wrote some run-length encoding for tile serialization, although I'm not sure if I should actually be storing the generated town.

Ideas:

1) Just run the random generation but modify the code a bit to have a "load" mode or something

2) Simplify serialize every single object in the entire world naively (would work, but could make big save games)

3) Save the town and keep some extra structure so like for houses I could just remember which filename they came from (I have a few JSON-specified house-templates). Although this would make post-generation changes to NPC houses harder.

>>158175649
for static maps you can just store data that's changed, and then load the map and apply the changes. for procedural stuff you could do the same thing, but store the seed used to generate the level.

>>158175649

Some new enemy zombies
They grab onto you and it is difficult to move or attack when they're grabbing you.
You can press any attack button to struggle a little to push them away.
They are resistant to damage, so you should use a heavier weapon, or magic.
As more grab onto you, it's more difficult to escape

Yeah, storing the seed is what I meant by method 1).

However, if there's any differences between the town you'd have to store that stuff too, and if you had like a if (load) somewhere, that could lead to RNG state being different past that point, unless I made it randomly generate all NPCs, then at the end of generation, check if it's load mode and just destroy all the (uselessly) generated NPCs. Or use 2 different RNGs with separate seeds, one for town, one for NPCs.

(pic is outdated generation)

>>158176336
what kind of game is this? looks interesting

>>158176336
>check if it's load mode and just destroy all the (uselessly) generated NPCs
this is what I do (not RNG-based though), it's not a big deal. it makes it a little trickier if you can spawn NPCs dynamically after generation though, cause then you have to store extra data to say that the NPC wasn't in the original set

NPCs can die, and be spawned (NPCs can reproduce with a full genetics system), and can change quite a bit.

>>158176662
>It's a sandbox game. You can do a lot of stuff.
can you be more precise good sir i'm very interested in this sandbox game

>>158176662
in that case re-generating from a seed and storing deltas may not be a good approach for anything other than static terrain/buildings, because you can't store a delta if there's no original thing to compare it to. hard to say without knowing all the smaller technical details though.

Also, one thing about not serializing all objets. I gave my NPCs a permanent unique ID which is helpful for serializing them, as everyone can reference this instead of any actual pointers... but there's other things. Like NPCs know they have a bed Entity and they sleep in at night (they all follow a schedule somewhat).

I'm not sure how I should approach this - should I make every Entity have its own id, but then I'm serializing everything in order to make use of that..., should I make beds a special kind of object that gets serialized separately, similar to NPCs?

Highlighting does nothing if your herbs are the same color as your grass at a distance.
Also herbs better be useful in your game. I am so fucking tired of games that crowbar in herbing an hunting with plants and animals every 5 inches, but then either barely have a crafting system or make it boring as fuck and/or not worth your time.

Only NPCs who have reached menarche in puberty (~12yo, but can be delayed or quickened by genetics + nutrition/malnutrition) can become impregnated. Although right now it's a 100% chance, I should really add in a period system so the fertility change varies depending on the time of month and isn't 100%.

graphic design artist here

Having 2 different fonts types on the same image is bad. It should be consistent. This means whatever font you used to type "BOKUBE" should match the "start/options/quit".

As for the menu option backdrops,why stars? are stars related to the game in any way,or did you pick it simply because stars look pretty? Why is the backdrop for"Bokube" an arrow pointing towards options? Why would you lead my eye to options? Why is it pure black, when the there's nothing pure black in the game? there are many things wrong with both

Literally take a step back and design your menu like you designed your game.

How about this, extend your little game test area to fill the screen and put the words, start, option and quit like objects in the world sitting on your test area. Have like a little flashing block next to the words, so if a player moves onto it, it goes into that menu.

This will act like a tutorial and a menu at the same time, without ruining the aesthetic.

>Have your little cube guys roll backwards and fowards underneath with a couple of different behaviors.
>A standard menu with crisp, simple text. Maybe add some mouse over animation or whatnot.

Easy, simple, elegant.

For the character behaviors you could do something like:
>Bun-kube rolls to the middle, then turns and look at the title then rolls off screen.
>Bun-kube rolls to the middle, sees an enemy rolling in the other direction, does a little surprise jump and then rolls back the other way as the enemy chases it.
>Peaks out from behind the logo then jumps to the foreground and rolls off screen.

Just simple stuff that gives your characters a bit of character and makes them endearing.

>hurr you already spent 200 000$ on a house, that means you can definitely afford throwing 2k on VR

>>158187725
>other actual important stuff like a washing machine, better fridge, clothes, etc
pretty sure anyone buying luxury items will have their basic shit bought already.

I save $600 a month(as in, money i have after all bills/food/etc paid). I could afford this shit after like 3 months of working.

is everyone here min wage/neets? did no one go to college and get an actual decent paying job?

That's the point. VR is a luxury item. Hence why they won't buy it even though you claim that some people spend 2k on their desktops.

>I save $600 a month(as in, money i have after all bills/food/etc paid). I could afford this shit after like 3 months of working.
In my country minimum wage is 220 bucks. Rent for a month in a two-room apartment costs around that.

A 2k desktop can be seen as a luxury item.

The only reason it's seen as expensive to normies is because they want their 2016/2017 brand new cars and possibly have debt/children.

Mobile VR is the only VR that will succeed. That and PSVR

To think about it, I will say I agree with you on that. Checkpoints are a good thing. However I still stand by the statement that having only "continue campaign" and "start new" is a very bad option.

>The real question is which /agdg/ game has the most porn, since logically that means they would also be the most successful
We can actually measure this.

>How?
It's simple. First of, even if it's not an official collection, we can browse trough the /agdg/ fan art collection and simply count the lewd images.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6j4pcv3V-vfR3hBNDEtc0k3M0U

I'll go in alphabetic order of the folders:

Girls:
AGDG-chan: 1 suggestive picture (2, to be precise, but it's the same pose, one is probably just an edit of the other)
Bokube: 1 suggestive picture
Bunny Idol: 1 suggestive picture and 1 clear panties shot (the latter has many alterations from the same artist)
Charlotte: 2 pictures where she breast shames Vampire (said breasts are not visible), and now 1 fanfic, the rest are "just" different standing poses
Clarent: 1 lewd of a tree monster
Cookie Quest: 2 suggestive pictures
Cosmic Castaway: 1 censored picture
Placeholder Title: 1 picture which displays oral sex
Roguest: 1 pic with two naked characters who hide their breasts
Vampire: 1 suggestive, which has 1 naked edit, 2 lewds with different colors from the same artist, and 1 unfinished edit of one of them, and the 2 pictures mentioned earlier where she's getting shamed by Charlotte

Boys:
Clarent: 1 sexy pose of the main character
Frog's Life: 1 shirtless picture abs
Vagabondia: 1 shirtless picture with abs

Characters from the misc folder are excluded, and intentionally lewd games also.

So:

Guys: it's a tie. Everyone is equal, you're all good.

Girls:
- Vampire seems to be the clear winner here
- Charlotte seems to be the second, even though she has more different pictures, only a few of them could be considered lewd
- The third place looks like a tie between Bunny and the Cookie Quest girl

haven't tried into game making since i was 13 and using BlitzPlus (lmao senpai). I'm 22 and trying my luck with Unity + Blender + Photoshop + FL Studio because my girlfriend and I aren't getting any younger and even selling a game idea needs some kind of demonstration, right?. Should I look into any different software or is digging in and dicking around with what I have a good idea?

I've also never tried to be a part of this community or any like it before so I'm not entirely sure what I should be looking for as far as engines and modeling so blender + unity just seemed viable since they're free and popular.

When I click weight painting I cannot assign selection to the vertex groups. The assign option just isn't there because it only appears when "untitled" is selected in the scene list like in pic related. The moment I select weight painting from the bottom menu it deselects "untitled" and selects the mesh instead, so I cannot assign weight painted shit.

>>158193492
You are clearly on the right track. Most companies as I see (especially smaller indie teams) usually look for people who can use Unity or they look for modelers (even though I think no professional uses Blender, but the principals are the same anyway). Selling your idea most likely will never happen. You either become the game designer of a team or you establish your own company, but there's no such a thing as simply selling ideas.

However if you are new to this, set your scope a little bit lower. Starting with a regular RPG with all the stats and variables and whatnot is a challenging task for a beginner.

>>158186401
>not Bocube

>>158193653
Something is off. When I look at all the tutorials on this subject it should be as easy as adding bones, then automatic weights, and you should already be able to move the bones and that will move the mesh along with it. It might move it incorrectly, but it will move. For some reason this doesn't work for me.

So I tested this and I was able to get a badly working rig that I can freely move around. So this means that I am doing it correctly but that apparently something is wrong with the model I'm using that is preventing it from attaching itself to the bone as normal.

I get this error I get when trying to add automatic weights: Bone heat weighting, cannot find solution for one or more bones. Tried various fixes already but nothing seems to solve it. I'm going to experiment with whatever weird thing I can think of as long as I can get the mesh moving.

Game logic programming is still programming. If you have no previous experience in it, I'd suggest looking up or planning out some sort of a C# route first. In games, a lot of times we have to use ultra fast versions of already complex algorithms, and if you can't even get your head around the normal one, you won't be able to understand the optimized one either. Also you have to remember that there are millions of dev out there, who simply started before you, and have more experience than you do on the craft. You making a game and getting millions in a year or two is extremely delusional.

Gamedevs are warlocks, you gonna chilling touch a million things before you get to use power word kill once.

I've tried with later versions of my save and I found one that doesn't deform the model, but it only moves certain parts of the model in pose mode when I move a bone. One save later is when i merged the various mesh parts into one mesh which is what caused nothing to move at all.

Finally got around to working on the next boss. It is a big test on seeing if you actually know what the Lightning weapon does. Its first move is some kind of blizzard attack that can only be avoided with the ice block.

Add some juice to your current game. Sometimes all a game needs is some juice to make it start feeling good.

There are 3 blues in here, none of them really go together. The contrast is too large to look good at such low resolution.

If that mechanic is implemented well I am at least 50% more likely to buy the game.

In the mean time, I have decided I want to dig deep into the archives, because I think I'm a masochist, to find every little sketch out there. Really. You guys put so much work and love into your games and art and whatnot, I don't want them to be lost. Too bad that the archives are barely online. I know there should be some hidden in the Discord chats and some even in the old /v/ threads which I might never find but still. At least Google image search brings up some good hits from time to time.

You probably aren't taking suggestions but might be funny if every time you got a 'boot' upgrade or item in the game it would feature spring loaded knight sabatons.

Just a thought.

I'm creating a fishing mechanic because I feel like it might create a relaxed alternative to the main activities, and give the player reason to stick around in an environment I've done a lot of sound work on.

My problem is I've only really experience with fishing mechanics from playing Animal Crossing, Torchlight and LOTRK.

What for you makes a good fishing mechanic? A minigame?
The idle grind while you do other things?

I'd really like to make it good, so any insight you have would be great.

>>158199340
The fishing in hey you Pikachu was the best part of the game

any musicbro here?

can you guys explain something to me.

if I study a wav file and put it on a oscilloscope I'll get it's wave shape, right?

if I put the same wav file and see it's harmonic structure in some DAW editor like FL studio, will I see it's timber, right?

with those two I can replicate any digital sound VST right?

I don't get it, are people allergic to free work?

Is Unreal 4s physics good enough to simulate a bullet going several hundred mph? Or will it just end up phasing through everything because the timestep the game uses is too large?

>>158200085
I'm not interested, thanks

>>158200085
I don't know what this meming is all about, I just didn't want to work with you because I'm not interested in Unity, sorry.

>>158200201
It has physics substepping options, but for very fast things you're better off using traces, regardless of engine

>>158200085
Good luck

>>158200201
>because the timestep the game uses is too large?
I think you can adjust timesteps in the project preferences menu. Not sure if that works for what you want but take a look at it.

>>158199340
Animal Crossing is one of my favorite fishing mechanics. I really like when the fish actually move around and I have to put the bait in front of them without spooking them. But of course Animal Crossing doesn't have any fighting mechanic once you set the hook, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It depends on what the rest of the game is like, I think.

Fantasy Life has a pretty good fish fighting mechanic. The fish has a "life" bar, and you deplete the life bar by reeling in. Occasionally the fish will fight, you have to point the stick in the same direction as the fish and stop reeling, or your line could break.

Overall though I think the atmosphere is the most important part, it's gotta be super comfy being by the fishing spot, nice nature sounds, birds chirping, etc. Also having lots of different types of fish is fun, especially if the game has a catalog showing caught fish.

It's terrible

>>158200201
I would expect Unreal to have a continuous collision check option for a physics body. This would allow it to continuously check, stopping it from phasing through things, at the cost of it being more calculations.

Execution is the important thing

Wrong attitude to bring in, but understandable because you haven't done anything yet.

You can't just dangle a screenshot and expect that people are going to want to snap you up for their project.

Most people have an existing idea or art style in mind, what exactly will they benefit from your work?

You've posted one thing that for all we know took you 2 years to do, and then you get pissy when nobody wants you for their game. Not a great start.

>I'm going to intentionally implement a worse mechanic just so I can say I didn't exactly copy a good mechanic
If you're posting this because of the fishing talk, check out Stardew Valley's fishing, that's what I'd call a poor implementation. They would have been better off just copying a good fishing mechanic.
In stardew valley you just toss the bait anywhere in water and you'll catch something. And the fighting mechanic is just annoyingly bad.

The absolute worst part though, when the fish hits and you set the hook, the event only registers when you RELEASE the button, not when pressing the button. That is absolutely unacceptable, and caused me to hate the fishing in the game despite me usually loving fishing.

With the massive range of possible human activities, every 3rd game has fishing. That's overdone, uncreative, lazy, S H I T.

>>158201154
Try out a noob engine like rpg maker first, then.
It's tempting to think if you just put the time into learning a language you'll be able to great that dream game, but you might discover after half an hour having most of the work done for you, that you just don't have any good ideas or creative ability.

tl;dr, don't feel bad that you can't code, it might not be the only thing holding you back.

>>158201647
Aseprite can do that. Make a color palette of whatever colors you want and it can convert the image to only use those colors.

to code real games (not rpg maker garbage) you need shit like math, networking, algorithms, data structures, code optimization and other bunch of CS shit.

learning to write code is not enough.

In Unity-
Is there any good way to organize scenes for scripts?
Example: I want to have like 10 different arrays of scenes, then be able to write "Load a random level from array 7."
I could do cutoffs with the index in the Buildsettings, like "scenes 5-8 belong in array 2" but then I'd have to change every cutoff whenever I add a new level to an old array.
Any kind of help appreciated.
My game is going to be fucking special this Demo Day, I can feel it.

>>158202762
You're just making the same point I was making.

I said if he wants to make a game but lacks knowledge, he should use an easy tool that does most of the work for him, because he'll likely realise there are many other considerations than just code.

Continue being a fucking cunt if you like, though, clearly coding real games is enriching your life.

>>158202798
There is an editor class you can use to set which scenes should be in the build settings. You could have your own data structure with the groups of scenes and shit and then on the pre build callback you can go set up the build settings based on your data.

>>158203029
he said he wanted to enter college, which is a good idea if you're going for some STEM degree.

much better that he learns to code in college rather than in some youtube unity tutorials.

at least with a college degree he won't waste his time into being an unity kid.

Decided to redo the whole model. This time ripping it with the right pose. Found some better ripping and conversion tools this time which makes it so it also rips many graphical options like shading and such, making the model look better. Hopefully it'll also import the bone structure and rig.

I don't know if something that specific has ever been done before. Guess you'll have tocode it yourself.
