This shows the penguin in snow land. He lighs up a tree, then swaps with a bear and back to penguin. Also destroys a robo penguin (who doesnt have ai yet)

On a sort of related note, most Roguelites seem to have some sort of progression system that persists through death. ie. RoR unlocked new characters to play, new items that could drop and modifiers to alter the gameplay.

I could use some ideas for progression systems like that and what sort of systems you guys personally liked in other games. I can't quite figure out what would fit my hacknslash/arpg style roguelite.

If it's similar to anything it's similar to Space Station Silicon Valley, which our guy here has already listed/agreed to as inspiration.

Made some more graphical improvements. Added new unit tiles. Everything in my game is 48x48 so i think i need to use letters and simple icons instead of portraits for the units.
I improved the placing a bit by adding some tweens

WAKE ME UP INSIDE

where do I find suckers to help me develop my open source game

>>160359434
I had a dream that I sucked 3 girl's titties and milk came out
The third girl fought back and then I was like "oh shit I just raped someone" and I wasn't sure if I actually raped someone or if it was all in my mind.

Is it bad im doing all the artwork before the game itself? There are a lots of assets almost ready for use ( im just using basic code to test if the assets work in game motion ).

>>160361324
Yeah indeed. That looks pretty dope. Also these animal games remind me of Zoo Race, which I cannot tell if it's a serious game or a parody.

>>160363104
>48x48
How come?

>>160363941
I switched from 32x32 since last post. I basically cant into art but i needed the units to be readable. I found that making them 48x48 made it easier to modify and easier on the eyes. No idea why

>>160363530
No you're lucky I wish I could do that too code is useless without art.

got my toggle switches and potato monster code done
it toggling the up/down state of the boxes on this level. I'm only having a limited number of switches, and if you press one it stays off, so it becomes another puzzle aside from the push blocks to figure out the correct toggle order.

Not sure why or how but enemy projectiles can activate switches too. I may have to try and figure out a puzzle using them..

48 is objectively the best number. It's a highly composite number with 10 divisors. It's small enough to be very easy to work with, but also large enough to give a lot of detail.

48 is the best.

Enough bullshit please.

If you really want to go for a good number you'd pick either 32 or 64 and not something in-between.

>>160359714
Wsg has a thread dedicated to cross-board linking. Also, you don't get many (You)'s if you link there because nobody clicks them.

Is 32 divisible by 3? no
Is 64 divisible by 3? no
Is 48 divisible by 3? hell yes it is

>>160364489
He does have a point though. 48 has 10 divisors, which places it second only to 60 in the sub-64 range. It's a breddy gud number.

Gamedev literally saved my life. It distracted me from my suffering until I overcame my depression.


But that was three years ago, when I loved working on games, and everytime I started a new project I thought "This one I'll finish, and it will be a great game!". But i never finished a single game. I lost faith in gamedevving.

How can I regain this faith, and start devving again?

9KB, 758x361px

>>160375212
Probably better just to use a single collision plane for the water surface and detect when your interaction capsule/sphere/box collides with it.

But it really depends on what you're making and how you've currently set up your interaction system with other objects.

How does a game like Civ 5/6 have such a flawlessly looped world? I am curious as to the mechanics behind that if anyone wants to hazard a guess or provide an explaination.

>>160375969
I'ma guess the same way you handle continuous rotation.

>>160375969
You can do all that with not much work except assets. The turn time/load time kills me. You ever played pride of nations. Like a much deeper civ game. warning though turn times are really bad.

>>160376685
>Mental slug
what did he mean by this

>>160375212
When your character attempts to fish, you could create an object in front of him that moves down until it hits the water. If it doesn't hit the water, then he can't fish. You would also have to check collision between the character and the water, so he can't fish through walls.

>>160376685
I doubt it.

But I don't even think the programming would be your limiting factor. You might be able to get a solid foundation down but you won't finish the art or levels in time.

I was kind of annoyed with how all the moving particles in my simulation were just teleporting from one cell to another, so I refactored the entire way I handle entities.
The world is still grid-based, but entities can move freely inside a grid cell. So it's a kind of like a subdivided coordinate system - I get the coarse grid simulation and fine-grained agent movement.

Rendering the entities also got overhauled. Previously I rendered the world as a bitmap, but now I create a quad for every agent and update them every frame.
The world in the webm has 150k moving triangles, created and updated at 60 fps, which is actually pretty damn respectable performance from my mid-range PC.

Thanks guys!

Spiritual successor to SimEarth, kind of. So I probably need a shitload of agents to get any neat large-scale behaviours.

Does Love2D have support of HUDs and all that? I have been looking at trying it, but i'm not quite sure i wanna switch from MonoGame

Love2D is quick to download, requires almost no setup and if you don't like it you can just remove it.
Use it for a day and see if you like it.

>>160378513
im sure he was just pretending

>>160377958
If there is any HUD specific functionality, I wouldn't know about it. I wrote my own drawing pipeline where I specifically tell if it's on UI or game "layer". Essentially, using a canvas, I offset the game coordinates (love.graphics.translate) and draw the game stuff, normalize the coordinates and then just draw the UI things.

My whole pipeline is kind of based around IMGUI (if object's draw() function is not called that frame, it won't be drawn).

But like >>160378212 said, Love2D is pretty freeform and you can set up the HUD stuff however you want. It's easy to use and simple to setup, and there are a plenty of good lua libraries if needed.

>>160378513

I started with Unity, using all the premade assets and messing around without touching code.

Then you start reading the sample code and editing it to see what it does, and eventually start writing your own stuff.

It wouldn't hurt to take a beginner crash course in c++ or c# though.

the important thing is to never give up, and learn to google everything

Agdg-tan is literally agdg's. You can't get any more agdg'd than this.

I want to make a patreon for people to support my development but I also don't want to spoil the game for everyone.

How do I assure people I'm working on it without giving too much away?

I'm using C# and Unity. Would it be bad programming practice to put all my variables, like player health and the time of day in the game, in classes in their own namespace?
