One guy decided to give up once, he went to college to learn how to code something important not just videogames, he got a good job, a wife, a big home and children
Then one day his wife got fat and ugly and them she cheated on him and divorced him getting to keep everything because of fake rape charges
He had no choice but to keep working or go to jail, he was bitter during the day and suicidal at night

Game maker has really basic 3D functions, you can render a 3D level with cubes but anything more and you pretty much need something more convenient like Unity.

>>158439279
If you want to have lots of items, go with damage blocked, since that can scale on par with enemy damage infinitely no matter how many items you have and is capable of much finer values.
If you want to have just a few sets of armor, you can use percentage to make it simpler to balance behind the scenes.

The reason that stuff is dumb is because it says literally nothing. Any 4 year old can say "Game X + Game Y", but can they actually design a game that combines those two games? No.
Ideas are cheap, almost worthless. It takes a gamedev to actually make those ideas come to life.

>>158442024
>how much time have you been programming
Over 6 years
>and where did you learn all the math shit and CS shit?
I don't know that much math, the 2D work I do doesn't require much except trig and basic linear algebra.
What CS shit? Programming? I'm self taught, all the resources are out there online. Pick a language and you'll find tons of stuff to learn it.
It was a lot of trial and error and googling until I started to understand concepts but it's a hobby I really enjoy so I had fun.

The level looks nice, but the combat is just backing up and wacking things, so it's hard to appreciate them

I think the attacks need to feel meatier and the enemies feel faster. The other way around might work too.

I'm tired. Caveman language.

If you wanna make it slow, I think you should make attacks feel like they hit really fucking hard.

If you wanna make it fast, I think you should make enemy attacks look like they're really gonna hurt.

>>158442632
>>158442476

thnx.

Yeah they need to be telegraphed, maybe enemies could strafe around and lunge during attacks, at least that way you're not always backing up. it is kind of not fun this way,

I think maybe fast for most of it.

>>158442632
>If you wanna make it fast, I think you should make enemy attacks look like they're really gonna hurt.
Being able to make enemy attacks look like they're going to hurt is certainly important for the feel of nearly any game, but I don't think it's the most important part of making combat "fast". Fluid, dynamic animations, snappy controls with little to no delay between input and response, etc. are the things that come to mind when I think "cornerstones of speedy combat". The whip-like crack of a poised attack that comes out quickly can also look like it's really going to hurt, so they're not unrelated.

Try harder.

>>158443303
The texture itself needs to match between the two edges all around the cube.

>>158443718
that's for a cube without a bevel, the issue here is that on the segments within the bevel, the texture doesn't match.

>>158438310

I recognize that hand, it's used in a lot of doom mods.

So, combat inventory is working at the most basic levels.
Yes I know it looks atrocious, I'll get around to actually designing and planning out the hud/menu & attack/item animations later once I get most stuff wrapped up.

Might just make it to Demoday...

>>158443618
I have uwrapped wit "cube projection" from the start.
Unless that's not what you're refering to, that's not working

>>158443785
You don't seem to understand what a UV map is. It tells each face which part of the texture it shows.
If the texture isn't lining up it's because you didn't line it up in the UV map.

>>158444113
Is there a reason this game uses a mouse cursor instead of just arrow keys to make selections?

>>158443785
Just because the bevel makes the cube's "edge" round doesn't mean there aren't actual edges in the UV.

Nope, no you don't. You also have one side of the box on top of another. The bevels not being on your UV probably doesn't help.

In terms of modeling knowledge right now you're on mount stupid. You think you know because you have no idea how much you don't know.

Any plans on animations within the portraits for firing and/or being fired upon?
With cuts and bruises on the girls? please

In all seriousness, I feel like the shaking soldier on the map isn't enough feedback that you're being shot or shooting at someone.
The portraits are massive, and it would be cool to have more screen space dedicated to motion.
Right now I feel like my eyes are glued to the left side of the screen to see all the action, and the portrait backgrounds flipping in and out hurt my brain.

>>158444595

Because I prefer it neener neener eat my wiener.

Mostly because the project was a slightly different thing when I implemented stuff.
I'll probably add in keyboard stuff, at the very least number button functionality, whenever I get around to actually designing the hud.

>>158446110
I've looked at this before, but I'm not sure how to get a proper bitmap font I can use out of it. I almost feel like it's giving me an install file for the font for windows, and I'm not surd how to make it work on linux.

>>158446246
While I want to make it look visually appealing, I want to get away with the least animation possible. Getting burnt out on animation is why I started this project in the first place. I'm not sure how far I'll go with visuals, but the background popping between terrain types is an unintended consequence at the moment.

>>158445729

>>158446642
Yeah, I feel you. Animations fuck your shit.

If that's the case, I'd have the grid and such take up a lot more of the screen, and let the portraits be something you see with close examination.
The uniforms and stuff look great, but they don't show up all that often in the core gameplay.

I don't know how much detail you can squeeze out of icons at that resolution though, and the portraits do look pretty good...
The best I can think of is different icons for character archetypes and have the fine details, like equipment and appearance, remain in the portraits.

>I almost feel like it's giving me an install file for the font for windows, and I'm not surd how to make it work on linux.

no it's available in different formats and even the "install file for windows" is just simply a .ttf font, it's just that windows has a special handler for this extension so that when you run a font file it will install it as a system file, on linux you'd need to install it in the font directory and re-run font config (unless you're using a DE that handles it like Windows does)

but for your purposes all you need is just extract the font glyphs from the font file (again, available in multiple formats so whichever you need), but that depends on how you store the fonts for your game

Yup that certainly looks like a nice functional stat screen. I like it.

Though do you have a separate point pool for skills and core stats or something? Cause the counter reset when you went to the other page. If you do then I think it'll benefit from having different point names like Stat Points for stats and Skill Points for skills.

Reminder that someone LITERALLY posted this on /agdg/:

>A floating point means that the number has, well, a floating decimal point. Its decimal point is at any arbitrarily chosen position. (the position is not RANDOM, just ARBITRARY -- it's chosen based on the needs at that time, but those needs can be anything.)

>Usually, computers have a set number of digits to work with, but can put the point wherever because the math still works out fine. So the difference between 1.2345 and 123.45 is not that big, computationally, in base 10. (computer math is done in base 2 because le ebin binary may mays actually having root in real computation despite most binary converters and the like being totally arbitrary in how they interpret things; computers use base 2 because they only have "On" and "Off" to work with as numbers)

>However, to the user, a moving decimal point can represent a large difference, because the significant figures you can use are necessarily limited.

>Obviously to us, a computer has LOTS of digits to go through, but let's say that we have some fairly small number of them, like 5.

>If I want to calculate physics stuff on a cartesian plane streching out to "Very Far" units on each side in 2d. an object can be at a very precise position near the center, like [1.0082, 2.5598], but if it's far from the center, I star to lose precision. 10 units out, and I can only go to 3 places. 100 units, and I can only go to 2 places, like [650.25, 554.47]. If it's more than 99998 units out, I lose whole individual units as I start to having to define things like 1.0000x10^5 for being at 100000 in any coordinate (but not just htat, but now using much more memory because I have to store "1.0000" and "10" and "5" instead of just one number.)

Acquiring (You)s is most effective when offering the 'players' options and rewards. To maximise (You)s, you need an effective image (set up like a game), emotive text or a shitpost.

For example:

If I posted attached image and said "Made a thing :P", it would receive very little attention and probably only a "kys fagget."

However, If I said "Working on some news breasts and want to get some thoughts/critique. Any help appreciated.", it would be highly likely that people will respond positively and constructively. Furthermore, the image offers choices and becomes like a game. The 'players' get to choose breasts and compare it to others. Often this will set of a (You) cascade, where people will respond to each other, giving your post more attention.

The final strategy is antagonisation. If I posted said image and said "Made some awesome fucking breasts kunts, better than any of the shit posted here. Don't even fukkin dare choose one, because they are all fukken great!", there is a high likelyhood that 'players' will rise to the bait. This doesn't guarantee constructive criticism though, just (You)s. But , you never know with these kunts.

The image is the hook, your post is 78.4% more likely to get attention with an image. If the image is well constructed and offers elements of choice, that percentage increases by 11.9%. If the image is cute or has tits, there is 98.5% chance it will get a response.

That is how you maximise your (You) count.

I'm working on formations myself and haven't quite figured out how to do it properly

I thought about setting the lead ship as a waypoint, and having other ships align to it in the chosen formation, except the ships start to freak out the closer they get to the formation marker and go all over the place.

I would love to see your code.

Added the next boss attack which can also chain off of the blizzard attack. It is kind of tall so the only way to avoid it outside of jumping really good is to dodge it horizontally. As the phases go on, it creates more of them to the point where you can't place them all willy nilly to avoid taking the hit. Jump kick abuse with the lightning weapon can make dodging it very easy, however.

We create games to appeal to players baser natures. Sex, Violence, Competition, Sex (male audiences).

Tits, ass and feminine figures are the icing on the cake. When everybody is making cake, it matters what your cake looks like to differentiate from all the other cakes out there.

Women are not objects, but the female form is, use it, abuse it, and make games great again.

Unfortunately I'm currently away from my code so I'll try my best to explain how I got to it.

Now I don't fully get what part you are asking so I'll explain what i did with both:

The squad has a leader and the rest are followers. Based on their determined offsets from said leader, the followers copy the leaders path to the squad destination plus the offset so they arrive in formation. If they hit an obstacle, then we need them to find a new path to the end destination.

For the multi squad formation I did the following: I created an empty object called selectionBox that keeps track of all the currently selected objects and places itself in the direct middle of them all. When a move order is issued, the right click destination is where I want the selectionBox object to be, and the other selected objects to keep their offset from said object (similar to the squad).

So I simply find the difference from the selectionBox and the squad, add it to original destination to determine where that particular unit is going.

I hope some of this made sense.

>>158452025

Yeah, that was great.

That's exactly what I was planning on doing, though I wasn't quite sure how to implement the selectionBox until now.

Your post made many things clear.

Thank you again.

>>158452025
This is almost exactly what I did about a year ago for my squad rpg.

It's surprisingly simple to implement. I had a raycast that checked the followers path if it will have an obstacle. if it did I think I ha the follower switch to the leaders path so it can avoid the obstacle. once that is done, it used to switch back to the adjusted follower path.

It all depends on how much accuracy you need.

I made it so when you walk backwards, you move slower. Like Combat Mode, I made this a toggle in the options. It's another strategy to try and make combat less about "walking backwards while firing arrows". But if people really don't like it they can turn it off, same with Combat Mode. Combat Mode and the backwards walking can be used together, but if you walk backwards while fighting, the movement penalties don't stack.

there is a 3 frame animation.
It's not playing when you just jumped on the rope because it caused some issues like turning when you already were on the other side, but it's there when you change sides while already on the rope.
It's just very short to not disrupt other animations and enable responsive movement.

>crawling
>digging for hidden items

and
>Use power ups like diving goggles for diving (super mario world powerup style)
>Or enter vehicles like submarines (Yoshi's Island transformations or DKC animal buddies)

Vehicles would enable more gamplay mechanics throughout the game.

tanks on land? Just because.

Reminder to believe it when google says you don't need to pool objects in Godot. I thought I'd pool bullets in my game anyway because it's a danmaku shooter and that's a lot of bullets to instance all the time but it turns out for some goddamn reason turning processing on and off for bullets that become inactive is hella expensive and made the game stutter, while just deleting them and creating new ones doesn't.

You can actually make bullets that don't use nodes at all, if you need the optimization. There's a demo called "shower of bullets" that shows you how to do it. Instead of using nodes you'll be using the low level servers.

>>158466672
I don't know, it's not like you can't develop that kind of lazyness working on paper too, like always drawing your faces or hands from the same angle to the point they've become just a bunch of lines you repeat everytime and not a 3d shape you rotate in your head and project on paper.

>>158466672
I think that if you keep the right mindset it should be easy to avoid acquiring those bad habits. If you find yourself giving in to the temptation of cutting corners where you shouldn't you can always use a drawing program with less features (though having self control is always better)

Just keep a sketchbook around and practice the basics once in a while

>>158466883
I'm at a crossroads of what to do. I just finished a big gui thing, so I want to do something actiony...

>>158466789
Yeah I took a look at that but didn't make much sense of it because I don't know shit about Physics2DServer. I would prefer to be able to use scenes though, to help making things more complex than just a sprite moving forward like that demo. I'll try to set up some stress tests to see if I won't regret it later.

I hope that's enough. I wanna play videogames now..

I guess tomorrow I will add various moving platforms.

>i dont think there is a program without copy paste
There are. If I remember correctly MyPAint doesn't have a selection feature and consequently no copypasting.

Any artist wanna team up and make a lewd game?

>>158467916
Okay but I'll have to mail you the sprites because I refuse to work digitally.

>>158467916
Lewd jam is over buddy

>>158467976
Just fax them to me and then I'll recreate them by hand using MSPaint.

>>158453746
dont worry about it its good

>>158468049
>>158467976
This is going to be gold.

why don't you fax them to the players directly instead?

Fuck it, it's garbage, but it's my garbage and it's almost done. And I've learned a lot when it comes to finding better ways to debug and organizing my files and code from the beginning.

How old are you anon? Gimme a ballpark figure if you're too limpdicked to share your age online.

>>158469265

I have 2 assets. Both small model packs and I make ~20$ / month

Made the enemy's attack a wall that you have to keep alive or else they start attacking you. I still need to fix a few things in the code and draw a wall that doesn't fucking suck.

The only reason I asked is 'cause I wanted to know whether you were old enough to know better than to skip class.

Don't skip class. You should know better!

Watching coding tutorials for Construct 2 and writing a GDD so that I know what I'm doing.
I also enrolled in my city's science association today.

Found the non-stem guy.

How did Squad make KSP in Unity and keep the player's position accurate to the meter in a solar system that's billions of meters across, I even tried making a sphere that big and putting into Unity and it wasn't having it

I don't have the link but I think they wrote a blog post about it. I am guessing they only have physics effect things on a low scale and keep the player near the world origin at all times. Then deal with other positions with more precise numbers or something.

hey guys i'm making lunch and then going to try to get combat ui stuff setup in a decent way.

I feel like unitys ui system is unnecessarily weird, should just let you layer shit directly like sprites.

I know, I know.

It's not that I want to, it's just my morning class is a 2 hour 20 minute boring as fuck accounting class and my second class is an intro to C/C++ which means I'm not learning anything new.

It's frustrating because I hate school but I want a decent job so damn bad. So I have to stick with it just to get a piece of paper.

Dude that's the easiest way to fall, don't do that

From what I remember they moved the universe around the player, so that the most accurate physics were always at the origin.

All westerners believe the U.S. is the good guys.
If you don't want to be the U.S. think about different countries you might like, and how you can use them and their stereotypes.
Like
>UK, characters all talk funny, tension between english, irish, and scotts, small island nation with high population density makes small dense maps make sense.
>France, character is the only guy not willing to surrender. sacrificing his last croissant to keep a hungry dog a live, he and his new 4 legged partner proceed to remove kebab
>Canada, Trump is elected president and proceeds to build a border wall, between the US and Canada. Bring enough tim hortons coffee and donuts to the construction workers to delay progress on the wall.

Just keep doing things like that.

I've been having extreme mental torment over trying to get libtcod to work.

I've tried:
Python variant (On native Linux machine)
Python variant (On native Windows machine)
C++ variant (On native Linux machine)
C++ variant (On native Windows machine)

Each fucking time, I come across obscure errors, like "at line 155, something is happening that isn't good, behind the bracket"
Python, I just couldn't get SDL2 to work with the library on Windows, on Linux, I could get everything to work -- up until it decides to use blitting. X doesn't work well with that.

I'm going to make my own fucking engine for my own needs, and it's going to be simple, flawless, and fucking WORK
