I wish there was a way so that all the demos would be released at the same time regardless of actual submission time. But I think if you post within the first 24 hours or so you are probably okay.

Don't be so silly. Plenty of people wait until the submission is over to play the games.

Your progress always makes me jealous as fuck.

Did you start as a programmer or artist? For how long have you done both?

>>159627959
Took me a week to pickup C++ with prior knowledge of programming. SFML is just 10 pages of documentation. OpenGL is the fun part

How to get started with engine dev?

Assume I know nothing except basic scripting in the environment of engines like GM and Unity.

>>159628830
i wanna know too

>>159628830
Make a terminal (ASCII-based) engine first.

>>159628901
That doesn't explain how to get started. I already want to make game, but I don't know where to begin.

Well that's what I was interested in, how long you fiddled around/practiced before starting this one.

Since I've been messing with stuff for 2 years and still don't have anything myself.

I already had several years of programming experience coming in, so I just picked up a library and started working
don't know if that's helpful but u kno
look up tutorials on youtube

I started in 2d and text-based games though
you need to understand how draw and update functions work first and foremost. Takes about a month to pick that up I think

>>159628930
>learn a language
>make a Hello, World! -program

>change output from Hello, World! to player character
Congratulations, you've achieved a game!
Now you can either add stuff to the game (gamedev)
Or make the program modular in the sense that it could be used to create games (enginedev)!
Have fun!

>>159629056
It's not finished yet. But it will be, because I didn't waste 2 years coding an engine for it.

It doesn't sound terribly fitting for an Egyptian/desert themed game. Maybe take a page from Shantae with how they made their victory tune Arabian themed.

>>159628717
what do you mean with inverted?
You can flip normals of faces, but your pic looks more like you extruded some double. If they fully align with their twins you can remove those via the W menu in edit mode.

In GM:S how would I go about having an expandable panel behind my main game screen? (think of shmup resolution games but that have HD resolution panels that expand with game/concept art so that its not just black bars). I only want the panels to grow once the game has hit it's maximum possible aspect ratio for the current monitor. Would this just be using another view entirely and overlaying the main game view on that?

>>159628998
Just stop with that reinvent-the-wheel. I don't want to reinvent it but to know how do you make one and how it truly works and use it with full functionality

>>159633336
Yep.
Bronze armor masked with the displacement map I used to make those ornaments. Could have done that easier possibly. Gotta look into that again.

Also some steel material with height information disabled (basically just taking the normal map from the bronze armor)

Unreal 4

Trying to make an HUD element that shows the name of the items in the inventory. I thought I could do this with a text box set in its options menu to bind to the display name of an actor variable that gets populated by the actors added to the inventory, but nothing ever shows up

To get items to show up, I have to turn the text element into a variable and manually set the text to the display name of the actors in the graph portion of the widget blueprint

Is that just how I have to do it or is there something I'm missing? Because shouldn't it be the exact same thing only a lot less elegant?

Still alive and making progress on Mayhem League.

Currently taking a break from melee design for Kikaigui to polish the gun design a bit. Functional reticle now in place (sans properly-configured active reload indicator, I have to tweak the curve on that), reload functionality now works as intended (it fills the proper gun's ammo supply, it remembers its own progress if interrupted, etc).

I feel like I may actually go ahead and implement some more guns before continuing with melee implementation; the animation blending makes it much easier to implement the guns when they're all rigged to the skeleton (since there's a lot of additive pose blending that needs to be done with aims which will require all of my additive reference poses to have gun bones attached). I had to go back and redo a bunch of my offset bases to include the Kikaigui attach points since they were originally done with only xCal.

It's also much quicker going (and therefore feels more satisfying) churning out aim poses than churning out melee combo sets. You really feel like you're making progress, whereas with melee you can spend forever tuning combos and just never actually get any further along.

>>159641120
Yes.

GM:S converts all your audio files to .ogg when you compile the game and people at yoyogames are retards so their compile method is shit. What you do is convert it to .ogg yourself with audacity or whatever you use.

Also remember to change audio to stereo if you have stereo sounds and raise the bitrate, because by default the bitrate is 198kbps and that's WAY below acceptable.

>>159641248
I'm surprised it wasn't complex as I thought it would be, I'd have never considered using this method for scripting. I was planning on using Lua before this.

>>159641258
I guess I should just do that then. Thank you, anon.
>>159641350
Sorry to ask another question since I know you have a lot to do but what would you consider an acceptable bitrate? I am a retard when it comes to sound/music

I love those reload animations, are you gonna have an ammunition pool or will weapons have infinite ammo and just need to be reloaded? I'm happy to see you still working on this

Did they have pink hair?

Are 6DOF games a dead genre? I hyped myself into making one, and I'm liking it, but u have doubts if it ever becomes even slightly popular. I don't want to put some memes or anime girls inside, I just want to have a fun 6DOF Metroidvania and earn some dosh with it ;_;

Progress for today: I rearranged the windows and stuff and made borders for the hud. Going to make a deeper background as well so that the panels look like they're floating above it. The little guy still doesn't do anything but walk around, but I'm working on that next. Again, I realize it's not very interesting but I'm still having fun.

Kikai's default reload is extra-long since its max magazine capacity is 81 rounds (next to xCal's 60), but with the active it's reduced by like 50% (next to xCal's 25% or so).

>>159641639
No total ammo, just mag capacity. Reloading/overheating is the limit on your firing, you can't run empty.

>>159642908
Thank you! I'm sure the stress and frustration is coming but for now I'm enjoying it.

>>159643087
Well, I'm still not sure what I want it to be when it's done. But for now, it's a half-idle-game, half-dungeon-crawler sidescroller. The player can upgrade their little guy using the resources they gain through idling or defeating monsters, with the goal being to reach the end of the dungeon and beat a bigass monster-that-I-haven't-decided-what-it-is-yet. Currently I have planned a town where the player can buy new items, equipment, and upgrades for their guy, and a scrolling panel of buttons along the bottom to increase the speed/etc of the idle game elements.

Basically, I wanted to take the boring parts of an idle game (waiting around for resources to refill etc) and give the player something to do during that so it's not boring.

>>159642958
she's sneaking in "non-binary" zingers, now. I'm having a hard time.

All right, fair enough. Sounds cool.

>>159643430
No, you're sneaking binary normativitity into agdg because you're trying to fit in.

if i sneaked a non-binary character into my game, would agdg hate it?

Having slept on it and built it out a bit more, I'm not entirely convinced setting the game around a single planet is going to be any more visually interesting than entire solar system. Unless I make the moons retardedly huge, you only ever see one moon + the background planet anyways.

>>159644023
That's okay, nobody will care about your game in general.

>>159643860

I'm looking to go for a toon shader effect, and looking through old ue4 forums I saw screens of your game alongside blueprint screens, however, I was unable to replicate them.
I'd assume you've since updated the bp and would very much appreciate seeing what you're using now.

Looking for an artist for an RPG with Unity. Will pay $30 upfront for a couple of backgrounds and characters so you know I'm serious and then split 30/70 profits(seems fair since I'm the programmer).

>>159628998
I used to be an enginedev with one finished game and I completely agree. 2D shit is way too fundamental and established, everything you do here IS reinventing the wheel and there would be negligible difference between your own and someone else's. If you're doing a 3D engine by yourself good fucking luck even getting to the make game stage.

For the longest time I avoided engines like every fresh eared CS graduate because it wouldn't look as impressive if I didn't code it myself, right? Then I fired up one of the big boy engines and see those things I've been struggling with already in place, functional and far more expanded and I could dive straight into actually making game. You can argue that rolling your own engine lets you trim away all the fat, but unless it's a very performance critical game I don't see why it would matter.

once the excited anons will continuously like a bunch of little children ask where the demo is, when that one particular comment that says your game really is something else and could make you a second toby fox, you will realize that your compulsive need of instant gratification, those few little laughs at those "who don't know" are nothing compared to what you could've been if you actually worked on your game

Well, /agdg/ I finally gave in and decided to try out that literal-who dev's game that keeps getting shilled in here for those who don't know its this one http://store.steampowered.com/app/343150 and i have to honestly say:

It's not bad. It's pretty long, got a lot of in-depth tactical combat and it really does feel like a refined and polished metroidvania RPG. It's not the greatest thing I ever played, but honestly for $5 I kinda think he's selling it too cheap. You guys should try it, you might get evangelized and see just how good my game is too. It's a shame we bulled him off of /agdg/ this piece of work turned out to be pretty good for a 1man game

Put in the proper animation. I have to find a way to dynamically change an indexed palette in gamemaker so the rocks fit in better, anyone have any ideas?

The attack will launch enemies into the air, where they will be open to be hit more

Any sprite artist wanna help me make a game? I can program pretty well but I can't fuckin draw for shit. You get 80% of whatever income happens from it, if it happens.

Right here. Every time I try to make a friend the interactions feel incredibly forced, and I can sense the other person secretly hopes I don't engage them. So I've learned to find comfort in solitude. Definitely helps productivity in school and devving when you don't have to worry about a social life. 4chan is good enough for primal social needs.
