Yeah, >>160800018 is dumb and it's not rixels. But it still doesn't look great.

YI is one of the few exceptions to the rule that algorithmic sprite rotation looks like complete shit, thanks to the artstyle with thick outlines and generally large blobs of colour (or noise, like the texture of that planet).

i don't know what 2:1 means
but go for it. It's an internship, you're expected to not know a lot of stuff and you're there to learn. The 2 worst possibilities are that 1. you won't get accepted and life goes on as normal plus you now have an idea of what an interview for this kinda job looks like 2. you get accepted and it doesn't work out so they let you go and life goes on as normal plus now you know what this work entails and what you need to work on to be able to work in this industry.

Either way you'll get out of it with some valuable experience.

People are lazy these days. You have to make a real easy low resistance means for them to give feedback.

Like fridges in grocery stores with no doors. Try something like an in-game feedback mechanism, which pops up after a couple levels / end of the demo or whatnot. Also accessible from the main menu.

Doesn't have to be pretty.

You probably know what development strategy works best for you, but I'd suggest getting some sort of placeholder baddie up and running before you get too deep into tweaking the feel of attacks. Bit easier to see what works and feels good when you've got something to actually test it on.

Thanks, Anons!

Still want to hear ideas for what to do next, if you've got any.

>>160809005
I hope low-res textured low-poly becomes the new pixelart of 3D.
It's such an appealing and easy to look at style. MML and the MMBN games are some of the best for it.

>>160808995
Is that two different swords or the basic sword evolving into a magic sword before taking on an element?

>>160809405

It's the basic sword changing into a powered up form, then taking an element. The elements is the altfire attack for the power sword, and what element you have depends on your subweapon.

>>160809159
Well, I don't really know what your game is, or how to improve the look of your airship, but if you want comfy, it would be cool if there was a mode where you could walk around in first person of your airship, even if it's way different from the rest of the game.

>>160809365
It's quite a niche style since you pretty much need to be good at lowpoly and pixel art to be able to pull it off.

>>160809312
Unfortunately I'm drawing a blank, and I definitely don't want to try to give advice when I don't have any to give.

>>160809005
Use some warmer colors. Shift the palette there to be a little more orange/red instead of straight brown.

>>160809512
I always thought low poly was one of the easiest things to do in 3D. The geometry is very rudimentary and basic.

First person will be out of the question for the airship, I'm afraid.
I only made half the ship, because I imagined viewing it from the side (pic)

>>160809561
Might try that - Thanks

>>160809671
>The geometry is very rudimentary and basic.
It is but the less polys you have the more important each vertex becomes in defining the silhouette of the model.

>>160809954
Back then games often had to come up with their own solutions to get better visuals. Spyro is a great example. I think there's a talk about their graphics stuff somewhere in the internet.

Also not 3d but Diablo 1 lit every pixel separately which was a huge factor in the atmosphere of the game and also something that hadn't really been done before.

>>160810293
Spyro was one of the first games to use LOD models, it's how they managed to make levels that looked a lot larger than most PS1 games.

>>160810478
IIRC they also used vertex colors to color them instead of textures.

>>160810462

Either <300 dollars or billions.

There is no inbetween.

>>160810478
other games had big open levels too but they ran like shit (Tomb Raider)

I don't think spyro has actual LOD models but they unloaded textures for distant objects

The cramped look was intentional (I imagined a whole little story about how this guy basically invented and built this machine himself - with limited resources), but I can see that it might "cramp" the comfiness too.

I don't have one. I don't know how I'd organize a design doc, and I don't know how detailed I should be. Should it be technical or should it be from the perspective of the player? Should it have a path from beginning to end of programming? Should it just be what the player sees on the surface? Should my game's story be written in it?

>>160813102
You seem to be correct on that, now that I'm looking into it.

well, try organizing your document into screens.
as in what should you see in the main menu, options screen, character select etc.

technical and programming stuff should be put into a separate document, design docs should be able to be read by... businessmen and publishers.

story and level design go to separate docs

>>160817223

>Not using a searchlight to project images of your models into the night sky like a Bat-signal, then masking the sprites out of grainy jpeg photos people posted of the event to social media.

>not hiring a guy to make oleo paintings of each frame without pausing the animations for him.

>>160816582
That's not what "level design" means.
also the pixelated look is not an intentional style.
it's just like that because of hardware limitations on the platform the game ran on, that had to make the rendered models pixelated.

>>160817907
>>160818078

Yes. Easier to reference, easier to copy code from, much faster to get information from.

If your brain is helplessly shot from instant gratification though, videos may be your only reasonable choice.

Didn't want to fix the broken planner which always returns the cheapest action instead of an action actually fulfilling the goal. Every mob just wanders about, because their cheapest action is "wanderAimlessly".

Coded preselection system instead so when I add more goals and actions the planning time won't increase as much. Also spares me busy work of maintaining a database by creating said db on startup.

FYI this is super-easy in C2 at the basic level

Just make sure everything z-sorted have the hotspot at the bottom of their sprite, then add them all to a family (call it SortFamily or whatever), then just do System - For Each (ordered) -> SortFamily - SortFamily.Y - ascending -> SortFamily - Z Order - Move to top

>>160827635
fine i'll do it tomorrow
i think ive made enough progress for the night

>>160827635
Also, if you don't have the hotspots at the bottom you could also always create a family instance variable called "sortOrder" or something, then on every tick just have actions for all objects that set their sortOrder to self.Y + n (where n puts the spot at the bottom of their respective sprite). You might want to use this anyway to control for things like the sort order of the player's hand (which if you want to always place at the front of the player you could ensure the sort order value is always player.Y + n + 1).

Particle effects where you render points and do physics on them so they look like fire or whatever

So when should I work on new models?

>>160830117
Btw if you're using that second Bullet behavior for the charge, you could just simply change the speed of the first one for the attack instead

>>160829431
Thanks! I think I'll have some time in the next months to do some serious progress.

>>160830231
im also using it for knockback and anti glob purposes so they dont overlap

>>160830286
also a happy side effect is that sometimes in the middle of their attacks they will face you again so you might have to dodge twice

>>160830217
When you have something other than badly modeled weapons and shit. Seriously I have no idea what your game even is.

basically this. floats are nothing but pain, especially since different hardware companies treat the IEEE754 floating point standard more like guidelines, making your game's calculations different depending on the player's cpu.

use integers and fixed point numbers for gameplay. networking, recorded games, and just calculations in general imo, become way easier.

use floats for rendering wherever possible though, their non-linear distribution makes them perfect for graphics (who cares if the tree five miles away is a few feet out?), plus floats are what the gpu is designed to work on, so you'll get maxperf.

Progress:
+ leveling up now heals you
+ movement sprites for the player
+ colour-coded player status updates

I just want to get these footstep sounds playing on my player in GMS. I've got the code, it's in the Step event but nothing plays. Ugh.

Does anyone have code for this? I thought this would be the easy part...

I don't understand how you still haven't fixed the sprite when using the sword or shield. That would take like 5 minutes.

>>160831610
Not him, but dev is full of "it would only take 5 minute" things. Gotta choose which shit you do first. Superficial visuals don't really matter so much in early/mid dev.

>tfw no idea what game I want to make
Do I make a mecha game?
Do I make a viking themed exploration/action game?
Do I make an ARPG or an RPG with timed hits?
Fuck me and my half assed ideas.

>>160831804

I guess it all depends on the level of experience you have, have you made vidya before? If not, consider making either a simple actiony mecha game, or your viking game idea.

Started making a shitty clicker game. I'm trying to go for all upgrades/decisions being meaningful / mutually exclusive, rather than being straight up upgrades + number porn.

However going against number porn will probably reduce people who would ever play the game to zero!
