Good OP

Its going to be cold and snowy this weekend, time for maximum progress

>>160560975

thanks

I'm in Gamemaker and this is my first time making a game, I found the code for switching rooms and I'm wondering if I should make a unique case for each room or make a reusable object collision and use a custom variable to switch from room to room.

does that guy making the first-person RPG with the fists in a dungeon and a knight dude have contact information anywhere?

>>160560915
"bullet hell style dungeon crawler" is a fairly common "starter game" genre in a post-nuclear throne world (see gungeon, neuro-voider, etc.)

have a gimmick, be extremely competent, or produce for fun/practice rather than money

>>160561292
Wait, you just mean "thing you hit that sends you to the next level"?

just have a player event for collision with your "go to next level" object that runs the "go to next level" code, you don't need multiple objects to handle that

>>160561346

not exactly a bullet hell but a fast action rpg with predetermined levels and a doom like level and weapon design

Run that in the player's collision event with your room transition object.

Like I said, go watch some Shaun Spalding/Tom Francis/Heartbeast tutorials.

A pretty small bit of progress. Not a major improvement, but learned about some cool stuff I can do in Blender for texturing. Didn't realize I could have multiple UV maps for tiling and bake in materials and other stuff like that.

>>160561707
Give the player more non-cooldown/non-mana-cost (basic, free, whatever you want to call them) abilities that are class-specific that allow for a higher skill ceiling. Movement and non-ability-based combat in diablo-likes are fucking boring. Make something where, even when I'm not using my special limited-use abilities, I have interesting things to do.

>>160561707

The warp function of the lightning weapon is now a separate button like the ice block is with the ice weapon, and the hitbox is a bit larger too. Originally this was going to be a 8 direction warp ability but I feel like this will work out better. This also gives me an excuse to add in actual air dashing. Personnel

>battle network clone dev #6

Weird, I've been here a couple of years and I've never seen anyone else working on a mmbn clone.

Its something I've wanted to do for years now, and now that I've done (and by done I mean half done) many games, I feel like I have the knowledge/work ethic to make it a reality.

I just hate working with placeholder sprites, because it limits my ability to think outside of the "mmbn box" in terms of game design and especially HUD/UI.

>>160562548
free publicity

So I went to /g/ to try and find a generally approved or or hopefully anon built guide to learning programming, and was disappointed

This is my home board and this is the thread I figured was most likely to be helpful in that area so how do I learn programming?

>>160562494
>3 normal keys needed to enter

I dunno, do you want your players to finish the game?

>>160562548

I'm none of the people involved in this conversation, but that seems a silly thing to rebuke someone for.

>>160562634
Well, what do you want to program?

>>160562652
nice
yeah i knew if i didnt fix that i'd get some shit about it lol
idk i want one of the paths to reward you with something like another level entrance or something instead of it only being a key each time
so im guessing 2 keys

>>160562402
I don't. I literally started last week, so haven't really setup anything "pr" related. Will do that once I start putting up non-placeholder graphics.

>>160562297

The architecture firm I'm working for likes to indulge in "research" in between jobs, they want me to look into writing a program that will generate possible combinations of ramps/stairs/elevators between two levels. I've been getting my head around path-finding but I'm too amateur to map out what a framework for solving this might be. Has anyone tried this sort of thing?

For those of you who have played mmbn, what is something you would like different from the real game?

For starters my protag will have a sage/mage look from Fire emblem, but more modern. Chips will be spells, and combinations are totally gonna be a thing (I'm thinking of making less spells in total, but that each spell has atleast one possible combination with another one).

I was also thinking of implementing something of a "risk/reward" thing, where if you held the attack button, you're character would stop moving for a bit, but if you released at the right time it would shoot a more powerful version of the spell. However I don't want the scope to get out of hand.

Thoughts?

>>160563306

Another tool would be something like codecademy.
Although I have a nagging feeling someone is about to write me an essay on why that's a terrible idea, enumerating all the ways I should feel terrible for having it.

Sounds original enough. Odd of you to post a game whose final boss is a ripoff of Devil Gundam when talking about originality

>>160563730
I only played 2 through 4 so I don't have a complete picture of the series, but I always felt like non-chip abilities went slightly underutilized. Stuff like the hubstyle guard that could be used on demand, that sort of thing. The mechanic you described sounds interesting as well. The various styles throughout the series were my favorite aspect in general: various twists and modifiers that changed the way combat was approached.

I'm kinda rambling, but those are the types of systems and features I'd tell a developer to focus on, bolster, and create permutations of in order to make the MMBN formula their own

>>160564208

Yeah, I'm planning on revamping the whole customization aspect of the game, and making it more prominent. If you don'T remember in mmbn you could different effects onto megaman such as more hp, resistance to certain elements, etc. in a sort of "puzzle" where each upgrade had to fit in a certain way. I would like to make more interesting upgrades, certain abilities which you can use whenever, etc.

As for styles I too love styles/versions/etc. The thing is I'm no artist, and I understand that something like that means a lot more work in terms of art design, so it's something I would like to do but we'll see (I would like to avoid just recolors if possible)

No, you don't need any HTML stuff.

The site is a little bit obtuse. If you're logged in, click "catalog" in the top right corner, or if you're logged out, scroll all the way down to the bottom, and you'll see a list of lessons.

>>160568539
>>160569072
basically find out what resolution you want your game to be
320x240, 640x480 etc.
then find where you set that in GM.

then make sure your sprite is scaled 1x, or whatever pixels per unit you need for it to take up exactly one pixel per (game) screen pixel.

I'm sure this should be a setting somewhere, but I don't use GM

>>160569293
like posted games to itch.io or what

>>160569353
like agar.io or slither.io

>>160569072
The aliasing is probably coming from when the game is stretched to your monitor resolution, which looks like it's 1120x700.

Here's my setup, it's a modified version of a tutorial I watched.

>>160569581
>>160569443
I don't know much about the default UE4 controller, but it might handle its velocity strictly, so attempting to add a dash force with an impulse might be effectively ignored. You could temporarily multiply speed for a short duration like half a second, and maybe disable gravity in that same interval if you want an air dash

>>160569715
where are you setting "can dodge" to true?

>>160568401

>>160569715
do you want air dashing? because you'll have to do it a little differently if so

if it's on the ground only you can probably just get the character movement component and set the velocity manually and let physics do the rest (make sure to disable player input and reenable it after x seconds)

>>160570760
I'm essentially trying to replicate this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J1VV5GdW8Y

>>160571183
it might be even easier to just use a root motion dash animation (which makes the character's position move while the animation is playing.

don't make a GDD if you're an indie dev. there's no real purpose and you can achieve pretty much the same thing by just having a .txt file you add notes into as you go to refer to later

I'm just going to leave that for the experienced devs around here. Doesn't matter if they are the Google devs [insert meme joke here], they're tackling a good subject.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wxyOng0-14

I was in that case for the past few months and my progress has been coming back to me now that I've decided to KISS it again.

Quick question for you guys, me and two other people are releasing a small game for mobile, complete with ads (we know it's not gonna make money, this is only to beef up resumes), will we have to make a 'company' since we are technically monetizing our game?

I just really want to get our game out there to the Play Store, but I don't want to run into legal issues later down the road.

Thanks in advance to any of you fine folks kind enough to answer this.

Not him but that's the industry standard. If he tries to talk he's just going to appear as a bad dev and will probably be fired.
In other words, just be a good sheep. No companies want a black sheep.

>>160573781
what is your game and what did you get done before you stopped?

So what's the standard way to manage clients on a UDP server?

I'm thinking I'll add a hashmap and hash all client socket addresses then when I do receiveFrom I can check the incoming address against the hashmap and know who I'm talking to.

>>160573752
yeah, this was all written by people over 5 years ago before I joined. we slowly fix things as we can when we get tickets related to that area. to refactor the whole thing would take probably a month or two and we can't spare that dev time for something with no visible benefit

I have no idea what you're doing with those timers without seeing ResetDodge, but there is a simpler way to do this, but first disconnect everything and try connecting Launch Character directly into Pressed to see if that works.

if it does, do this: Pressed -> Test Can Dodge True -> Set Can Dodge False -> Launch Character -> Delay for how long you want before the character can launch themselves again -> Set Can Dodge True

>>160576362

>Take a +6 month break from my gamemaker game
>come back to it and want to change everything now
Oh boy. Do I just start over? My code and systems are...an acquired taste, I think I'm gonna have to rewrite a bunch of stuff.

What do you think of this specific case: It's a 2D sidescroller and I have a separate event for a particles getting shot to the left, and another particle getting shot to the right, even though they're the same attack.

But that's not all. My character levels up throughout a stage in the game (up to level 10), and each level uses the same attack with slightly faster/stronger particles each level up, but I have those particles also separated by the character's level and direction she's facing. And each attack also spawns a 'critical shot' that does extra damage and stuns an enemy, which is also separated from the other particles. So just one attack has 40 different events that all use the same sprite. And each attack/particle's properties like speed/cooldown-time/damage are hard coded.

Is this a best practice that I can continue with or is it time to throw in the towel and start fresh?

Reason I'm asking is because the character described above is the baseline for all future characters for me to copy/paste all my code from. Am I setting myself up for failure or am I stressing over nothing? Does anyone else have fun managing hundreds or perhaps even thousands of separate events that do slightly different things?

Thanks for reading.

Hey guys. There's a game I've been planning for over a year. I'm writing out basically a blueprint of guidance for what I want the player to experience from it and what I want it to be, start to finish. After daily brainstorming I finally know what I want to do and why. The only problem is how. I have no idea where to begin the steps to creating this project I seem to have mapped out. But every fiber of my being demands I make this, and I should stop beating around the bush and get cracking.
Any and all advice/help is welcome
Why/how do I start?

It's so demotivating seeing the progress being so slow.. like you slave away for a week 10hours/day on your game but it amounts to only a tiny bit of progress in the face of the entire scope which you need to complete. And that is talking about already scaled down realistic scope.
It's slow as fuck and i don't even have a job yet, when i finish school this year and be able to dev like 2-3 hours/day tops on work days the progress will become even 4 times slower... like holy shit... it will take like 10 years to finish like this and by then your game is going to be horribly horribly outdated
and the only alternative is to make some tiny game like pong clone or some shit but that is just way too boring to work on..
god damn it, i don't mind the work, but the life is way too short for it, i wish days had more hours

Welcome to gamedev, Anon. This is the same for 1MA, small Indie groups, mid-sized companies, and AAA game dev companies. Enjoy your stay, and continue to work on your game. You will spend a significant portion of your life making a game that you either will never finish or you will finish but will possibly fail. All those years of work only to have some youtuber rip it apart in a few minutes or a bunch of trolls shitting on your game in the Steam forums and demanding refunds after they have already beaten it 2 or 3 times.

Take comfort in knowing that you aren't alone in feeling this way. Good luck and continue to work hard!

>>160578053
Give us more info, is the game 2D or 3D? RPG? Action? Platformer? Horror? Walking simulator?

There are two starting points you can use, first one is picking up programming and second is picking up art so you can make the assets for your game.

I'd say programming is faster since it takes less time to get something running 'cause how shitty the code is doesn't really matter if the game actually works. As far as 2D is concerned, Game Maker is as good choice as any. If the game is 3D then both Unity and UE4 are good options. Though if this is your dream game, chances are you'll want decent art assets so it'll be hard for you to finish it alone.

My second piece of advice is to put your dream game on the backburner and make some other shitty small games before it (maybe even derived from your dream game), otherwise you're just going to kill your dream with your own hands.

Coroutines are such magical things.

JOB POSTING
Looking for someone specialized in medical/science themed GUI for a game I'm working on.

Can give lots more detailed if you're interested, but going for something that looks like a more "consumer" version of https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e1/32/12/e132126cd1b7e1bc914781a265935fb6.jpg (as in, less raw data, more sleek).

Willing to pay, can discuss rates, if you want to see other games we've worked on, go to Newgrounds front page and scroll down to Featured Games until you see Future Fragments, try that out, etc.

The particular game we're trying to get GUI work/logo for is called Reclaim Reality, it's also an 18+ game, so you would need to be 18 or over to work on this. Picture attached is of art style we're trying to match with the GUI (and a picture of a background from the game)

Send me an email at [email protected] if you're interested with previous examples of any GUI or logo work you've done, you'd be getting paid high 3 figures/low 4 figures depending on the quality of your work.

Three reasons;
1) In the 90's, people made violent video games, but they were mostly done for shock value, not actual interesting usages of violence within the game itself. The western hentai market is at that place right now; most games are just glorified animation galleries with little to no gameplay, poor storyline, so on.

However, I think there's room in the west for hentai games that blend quality gameplay, art, audio, and storyline with sexual themes/depictions, and not just for shock value. It's something that's been done other places and even with other western games before, but I'd like to make games I'm proud of and that I can say "hey, people like playing this not only for the sex, but for the actual game itself too".

2) The challenge of trying to make a game like this and actually successfully blend all those elements is fun as hell.

3) Hentai games in the west are a small market now, but they're quickly exploding, and I wanted to get in on the ground floor of it.

No it was done because guns and action makes for the best kind of entertainment, that's like saying a movie like Terminator was done for shock value.

Since you're knowledgeable in the topic, what communities should I hang around if I'm a programmer looking to work on a hentai game? As in where are hentai games teams birthed and where do people post when they're looking for programmers for such projects? AGDG is barren of that since the programmer to artist ratio is pretty skewed and most people are 1MA's anyway.

You do if you want to make actual hentai _games_.

Working on something like Rance could be pretty fun.

I've been working on other things so I didn't have much time for game development yesterday, but I still made a little bit of progress. Feast your eyes on my incredible boss sprite. I made my first enemy that has more than 1 attack and multiple ranges at which to do the attacks (and a sort-of random timer for deciding when to attack when in range), which was pretty hard and confusing. But I'm glad I got it working without too much hassle.

I still don't understand what kind of game this is but I like it. Good job.

>>160563730
The best thing for you to do is recreate the original system until it's working smoothly and without bugs, then go about finding ways to improve upon it or make it better suited to your game.

If you just take shortcuts and field ideas from other clueless amateurs online you're going to end up with an unworking, bug-filled and unfinished mess.

>>160583774
Thanks. It's a sidescrolling dungeon crawler, with some idle game elements. Or an idle game with a dungeon crawler stapled onto it. I don't know which it is yet.

You have a 20px character that doesn't fit in his environment and modern lighting techniques. Are these placeholder, or do you not give a shit about the art direction?

What? Terminator had an actual plot behind it, continuity, great acting, writing, the works. Movies had been dealing with violence for decades, so they actually had it down pretty well in terms of meshing it with quality.

That's why I specifically mentioned video games, because video games didn't have much experience at it, but years later, they started using violence in "non-shock value" ways, where the entire game wasn't just centered around nonstop guts/gore.

>>160583376
Honestly, due to the subject matter, you'll likely have to scout out artists/writers/audio people yourself by just simply messaging them. If you can prove you've got skills and a great game idea and the finances to execute it (or some way to procure those finances), a lot of people who normally do SFW stuff will happily do NSFW under an alias.

Ask around ULMF, Tumblr, and hell, even the AGDG discord, there's a few hentai game makers there.
