Came back to AGDG for the first time in months; was shocked to find that the catalogue had no threads under the "AGDG" filter. I guess it was that rare moment in between the death of an old thread and the creation of a new thread?

Anyway, I know you get this a lot, but what's new? I haven't been here since about August. I know GMS2 just got announced, but did anyone here release a game or launch a failing Kickstarter? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Shaders are fun to program. A little tricky though but I don't think I'd want anything too extreme. I don't even think I need to calculate as far as specular. I like the flat diffuse. Most of the things I want might include moving vertexes and offsetting textures. I would like to eventually get something that could render 'fur'

We finally got rid of the worst shitposters (except for Gogem), so things have slown down considerably.

Today I learned to blow shit up in Blender. Still need to get a feel for the parameters but I think I got the procedure down.

>>159282109
Still? That's pretty neat. Does he have a blog or something where he documents his progress?

playtesting is hard when you made the game

I don't know how many secrets and stuff the player will find, and it's semi-open world, so I dunno where they will go first.

So is the autotiling in GMS 2 just for background tiles? Or can I use it to make in game objects with autotiled sprites as well?

Some of them are, for me.

solar system camera
>click any planet to set it as the focus
>hold right mouse button to spin the camera
>mouse wheel in to zoom in on focused object, switching to planet camera

would it feel more natural to just zoom in on whatever you're moused over at the time rather than having to click first... but then how would I let the camera track the object in orbit, but not necessarily zoom in on it (for whatever reason we'd want to do that)

could also do multiple zoom levels, Sins style, but once you're at a certain threshhold it auto locks onto the nearest object?

anon that keeps replying to your posts here

I have a simple fur shader I've been working on, I used it in my halloween jam game https://dwgwgy.itch.io/shadow-of-the-cowlossus

it has an underlying skin map, a map for fur color, and an alpha map for determining where fur grows. It also has adjustable length and fade multiplier

It uses like 10 shells, but you can do more or less depending on your needs

this webm shows a version that pulsed the underlying skin texture to expose blood vessel location

maybe i'll share the code, but its super messy so i dunno, but yea shaders are fucking neato

No Clickteam Fusion?
I using this program and it's pretty good for 2D game.

So I kind of want to make a game with modding support.

But how does that work if a use a proprietary engine, such as Unity? Is it against the rules or inadvisable to just export my game's editor file and tell everyone to use the engine?

>>159282960

I see. What I want is more of a viva pinata thing (which might just be manually built into the model and then just given movement influence based on gravity.) but I imagined a fur shader could do it just the same provided I set it correctly.

I'm still learning so I will read through more documentation.

>>159283660
That's more like making your game open source than modding support, but I don't think it's against any rules.

>>159283660
Why would you give away your game for free like that?
You can implement a modding API yourself, users shouldn't need to download all of Unity to mod your game.

>>159283674
yea I've seen fur shaders on the asset store that can take physics into effect, haven't tried it myself

In the end it all ends up being a variation of shells/fins. Rare did it well with conker, starfox adventures, and viva pinata (and nuts and bolts too)

>>159283660
UE4 has a system for it

I don't think I'll have enough time to finish the newer boss fight before demo day, so I'm working on other things. Made some adjustments to the first fight. The fire pillars now use the newer tell look so you can [hopefully] see them better. You can now also jump kick off the boss, which will probably make it super easy compared to before. In addition to the delay between attack strings and healing items, it shouldn't be too hard anymore. The jump kicking does give me an excuse to re-implement some scrapped ideas for it though.

>>159286292
Bullets kill red enemies and blue enemies can only be killed by collision. I agree about the window. I need to redesign the ship but I have no idea. Any feedback would help.

>>159287072
Jesus this is getting complex. I think it would be pretty simple to make blocks solid. Save the transparent window look for the respawn window, they blocks can easily be opaque. Also this might let you make the entire block red or blue, I hadn't even noticed the outlines before.

How do you aim bullets?

>>159287320
Fire bullets either with the abxy buttons of a game pad (8 way direction) or the arrow keys on the keyboard. Move left and right with a and d or the d pad and use the triggers or spacebar for flippers. I want to get the bullets mapped to the analog stick but I'm still working on that. Keyboard actually works pretty well.

Basic bitch question about this thing in Gamemaker.
I'm following a tutorial and recently made a weapon that could be picked up by the player.
This is part of the player object's code that is used to assign the weapon to the player once they collide with it. The part I don't fully understand is the last line.

I know that "self.id" means the specific ID of the player object, since this code is on the player object. CurrentWeapon is a variable, and Owner is a variable on oMachineGun's code.

What I don't know is what does connecting the two with a period explicitly do? Also, how am I able to reference a variable on the gun's code from the player's?

CurrentWeapon is the id of the weapon that touched the player.

Instance_place returns the id of the machinegun that touched the player, so you're calling the 'Owner' variable from the instance that touched the player.

The only way I get things done is deliberately decide "time to play games" until Im tired of it, then dev. Saying "I should dev" and then playing games doesn't work because its 1) a guilty feeling so I dont even enjoy the vidya, and 2) I still felt like it was dev. So rather than try to abstain from shit I like, its more like I indulge in it until I'm full

>>159289061

>>159290023
Dot notation indicates that you're accessing a member of an instance of an object. In this case you're getting the owner property(which is an integer) of the weapon you picked up.

GML is pretty shitty though and if you want to learn actual programming i'd advice against it. If you just wanna gamedev then keep at it.

This is a feel I know all too well.

https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting/polymorphism

So I'm having a bit of problem with trying to use what this example taught me in Unity.

I have a BaseClass and a ChildClass that inherits from BaseClass.

I have a ScriptableObject and in that a List<BaseClass> that can hold both types. Based on the Unity tutorial I should be able to do this
>BaseClass base = new ChildClass();
>
>ChildClass child = (ChildClass)base;

And it works for new objects but it seems that once the data gets refreshed(?)(for example when I edit the script and let it compile) by the Unity Editor I can no longer use the objects in the list like this. It's like they get casted into the BaseClass entirely. If I add a new object it works just fine for that object.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening or how I could prevent it?

Daily reminder that there's absolutely nothing wrong with developing pixel platformers with cute female characters as long as the game is fun to play.

>fun

Why is it that as long as a parameter EXISTS in a Unity Mecanim state, it's impossible to change it by any other means? Imagine an object that turns itself back on when you disable it, or clamps its parameters permanently.

And by "exist" I meant it quite literally.
- Add an Animator to an object
- Add a state with an animation clip, try to animate something with it
- Add an empty state without an animation clip
- Transition Entry to the empty state, so that the animated state is just hanging around doing nothing
Now the thing you just tried to animate is completely fucked and locked in place, even when the state that animates it was never visited

Hilariously enough, this behavior isn't there in legacy animation

>>159311067
>give up as soon as the easy shit is out of the way
I think the answer to your problems is to GIT GUD

>>159310568
What sort of issue?

I mean the symbol for "faith" is a christian cross and the idol is a pyramid with an eye, so I'm not exactly going for real life accuracy here.

Is there some middle ground between random level generation and premade maps? I'm trying to make a reccetear dungeon crawl type thing but I dont really like randomly generated dungeons, but I'm unsure of how to create a bunch of maps so you don't have to revisit the same maps over and over.

Should I just git gud?

>>159311789
Premade rooms strung together randomly

>>159311789
Probably, I think Skyrim did that

>>159311789
There's many ways to mix them. For example you could spawn premade rooms/chunks but make them generate in random sequence and connected in different ways.

You could have room templates with randomly generated content in them, e.g. a long hallway with specific hotspots that can spawn objects from a list of possible ones for that hotspot (for example a hotspot that can spawn either a desk, a water cooler, or a vending machine). You can also make random alterations to said rooms, for example adding a few platforms or distorting the floor or something.

You could even have a completely premade level that uses the above to make slight alterations. Add a door into one of 4 possible walls, move a loot chest, spawn random pots on the sides.

You can also control it with variables, for example add a room with "enemy strength" cap, and then spawn random enemies with different strength levels until their combined strength reaches the room strength cap.

Really only your imagination is the limit to what and how you do things.

>>159311123

>>159311763
I mean if you don't give a damn about offending anybody and don't plan to put your game on Steam or anything then it doesn't matter. But obviously if you make a game about religious psychopaths and someone notices you're using symbols of their religion to represent them they might get rubbed the wrong way.

>>159312261
That's retarded
Art is derivative, why is anyone supposed to make a fictional religion without having it on anything?
Half of everything Tolkien wrote was based on some religion or culture, do you think those books shouldn't exist?

yeah I know the animations are just freebies from mixamo atm as I didn't want to spend hours creating custom ones in case the feature gets scraped/reworked in the future

as for the raycasts, you don't really see the effect to well on such a flat surface but I use them to get info about the mesh, what rotation should the character have, at what height should he be at, is there a convex or concave bend coming up and how should the transition be etc, etc..

as you can see here it still needs a lot of work to look 'good' but it's a working prototype.

>>159312247
thank you, I hope the feature finds a place in the final game.

>>159312607
no I haven't, and this might sound ironic coming from me but the reason is, I thought it looked kinda shit, not the art style, but the environments.

>>159312793
It had randomized missions and the big chunk of dungeons where completely computer created

>>159313074
Gameplay wise it seems similar to yours, including the "climbing on nearly every wall" thing.

Maybe it can give you some ideas regarding other mechanics.

>>159313074
>get info about the mesh, what rotation should the character have, at what height should he be at, is there a convex or concave bend coming up and how should the transition be

You can get all that from face normals.

For your corner problem you want a bounding box and different animations/movements depending on which sides of the BB are being touched and where the player is moving

>>159313185
>>You can get all that from face normals.
yes and this is what I'm doing, the rays are simply used to find the relevant faces, and on more complex meshes it isn't as easy as on a box.

as for the corner problem, the way you proposed is more or less how I've solved it in the past, but again I need/want the system to work on more complex meshes and I don't want to have to create 7-8 animations to accommodate all the different degrees the corners might have, I also don't want add a lot of manual info on to the mesh, so it's preferable if it's as dynamic as possible, I'm working on an ik system for the feet and when I'm done with that I'm thinking I'm gonna try to see if I can get rewire it to work with the arms and see what kind of results I get with that.
but anyway, any of these solutions are way more work than I am willing to put in to a feature I might end up cutting

>>159313168
"climbing on nearly every wall" isn't really the gimmick I'm going for, I just wanted to spend a couple of day prototyping systems that might make exploration more fun, not even sure if I'm going to keep the climbing system in the end.

Now enemies marked as "heavy" cannot be lifted with grappling hook or uppercut move. This will mainly be used for huge enemies that wouldn't work with either.

I seem to be getting the base mechanics to work but they will need a lot of tweaking to work correctly all the time.

Unity seems stable enough so long as I'm not messing with shaders so I might hold off on that for now and just use the basic shader... I'm not sure what was doing that. I think it was trying to edit a shader value while it was trying to update maybe.

>>159314785
>see you got a new graphic for your grapple
yeah. I had to rewrite it for 3rd time and now it works exactly how it should. The PC animations are placeholders because I've yet to manage make good animations for it.

>maybe you can use heavy enemies your advantage somehow?
I haven't thought about this. I mainly added this feature to prevent player from spamming these to bosses.

>>159319265 is right. People usually get fairly pissy when they have to move to Blender from another program. Also you can't do Apex cloth stuff within Blender. I use Blender and ue4, too and getting the exports to work right is a finicky process.

I'm pretty annoyed at how my invisible message brushes still seem to be impacting the lighting of my map.

I was really hoping to hear that Blender is good enough these days and save some cash on licenses.

Thanks for the input.

My ice sword effects are nowhere as cool as Clarentdev's, but hey, I think they work.

Making chain reactions like this is so goddamn satisfying.

I prefer chocolate myself too, but hey. It's 3 HP and it overheals. Eat it, you weenie.

Well Blender is good enough. It does everything I need with ue4 and for Apex Cloth, you can use ApexSDK externally. It's just that. . . well I think you should try using it first to see if you cat get used to the ui and hotkeys.

Did nvidia magically get apex to work on non nvidia cards or something. The last time I did apex cloth, it was mandatory to bake them to allow them to work on AMDs.

Blender bakes most basic cloth setups just fine.

Does gamedev get worse?

>>159321107
Aye, I've tried it years ago and it felt really alien. I really hated the viewport camera controls and was really fighting it. However, I do remember that after a day I felt like I could perform some modelling tasks in Blender faster. I'll try Maya this weekend first.

I'm pretty sure all PhysX jazz just runs on your CPU instead when using poorman's GPU.

>>159321724
It does, when you need art.

>click an icon on the screen
>now have to redirect input through like 4010820 systems to have the icon do stuff in the game

I did not plan this well... is there any sort of clean solution?

Now this is a lot less shitty. Next problem is I'm gonna need two different types of explosion in the game, and the player should be able to tell them apart easily. First idea is to use blue flames for the "special" explosion, but I have a feeling it's gonna look horrible.

I think I realize why deving is getting harder and harder for me.

I keep dropping projects, all the work I do goes to waste and I become more impatient every time I start a new project because seeing the project I work on in its bare-bones despite "deving" for 3 years is frustrating.

Learn from my mistakes and finish your shit even if it's shit, otherwise the ghosts of those projects will pile up and haunt you forever.

actually this would look allot better in reverse

>>159322745
nah its okay , you should see some of the projects of devs before their breakthrough projects.
Just make sure u keep practicing and dont drop for no reason

>>159322745

Look at it this way, you may have dropped a project but you just gained a lot of resources from those old projects

Ideas, mechanics, and music or art assets, recycle those man.

This week I put in the infrastructure to my upgrade system. One of the upgrades is smoke grenades which temporarily hide you from enemy sight so you can be a coward in new and exciting ways!

Animation and model look great.
I really really hope the in-game model will be properly lit and have nice shaders

Fix your camera fampai

I had a dream last night that I had a boyfriend.

Should I continue on unit tests for my library code or should I work on trying to wrap my head around fragment shaders today?

This is better than the other one, but the pallette of the ship is jarring.

How would I go about creating custom shapes in SFML? I'm interested in creating a cross and a 45' tilted cross, how exactly do I define the vertice? I'm clueless.

Do you have any other maps? I'm returned from like 3 month haitus, and I recall that same map being used all the way back then.

It's not your fault, Unity is kind of stupid about these things.
