Anons I'm really struggling with some geometry. This function is supposed to generate a grid of hexagons but the results are totally batshit. Where am I going wrong?

http://pastebin.com/ZKxCv7bX

>>160874232
First you build a regular 2D grid.
Then you offset every second row by half the distance between two points.
For each point, draw a hexagon.

>>160873951
The main reason it's there is to trigger you.

>>160874579
Offset only the x right?

And in that case is the y incremented by only half of height each row?

>>160874998
Well, depends on the orientation you want your hex grid to have. If you want horizontal gameplay, you should offset the x, if you want vertical gameplay, offset the y. You do not offset the other axis.

First try to create a grid of points just with that offset. Result should look like pic related, if you offset x.

If you have a grid of points in this way, you can tell each point to draw a hexagon.

>>160875213
If that's meant to be flying towards the viewer, I don't think the orientation of the grub gives much of a feeling of movement or momentum (also its trajectory seems like a terrible miss that's veered towards my left). The animation itself is adequate in its simplicity, though.

Ah, man, you're putting a lot of thought into this. I gotta say I appreciate it. I just noticed my posts the last couple of weeks have had a missing hyphen at the beginning (like >>160841325) so that means you've been adding them manually.

alright i think im done working on the ai for this enemy now. theyre kinda slow to fight if you dont have a throwing weapon, but theyre going to be placed conservatively, like the knights/guards in castlevania.
there was originally a line of sight mechanic so they wouldnt attack/activate unless there was a clear sight to the player, but i found that made them too easy and they were less apt to jump up into you from below, so i scrapped that.

So polished that it had a terrible framerate on my computer. I uninstalled it immediately after the first dialogue box.

>you're computer a shit
Sure, this is why I can run fine games like SFV or Skyrim.

>>160885838
Yup, that should be the problem. On a fixed width pixel grid you are moving in subpixel values.

If you move along one axis, your speed is the number of pixels you move on that single axis.

If you move on two axis, the speed you move at causes your character to move speed / 1.414 pixels on each axis.

Rounding your hspd and vspd should resolve this problem.

>>160886015
fuck dinos

>>160885838
>>160886163
keep in mind that if you decide to round your hsp and vsp, do not use the round() function as it rounds to the nearest even number. you should either floor() or ceil() it instead so that you get consistent rounding.

>>160885975
It's possible but it would suck as good level/map design is one of the biggest draws of metroidvanias.

I don't believe there's much in the way of being able to procedurally generate a metroidvania map, theoretically, but it would not be easy. You do have to be mindful of generating puzzles/challenges without crossing the line from "interesting/hard" to "impossible".

>>160888347
If you rely too much on stitching premade pieces together everything starts to look monotonous. That also doesn't help with the overall map design which is important to metroidvanias.

http://info.sonicretro.org/SPG:Solid_Tiles

>>160889316
Yeah but do the levels themselves stay interesting? Also it seems like Spelunky gameplay is just going down further and further trying to maximize rewards along the way without dying.

Metroidvanias have a much lighter emphasis on combat and whatnot and heavier emphasis on navigation. The same room with different enemies is still essentially the same room.

What I'm trying to say is that just because stitching premade pieces together and peppering them with entities works for games like Spelunky, Binding Of Isaac, etc. doesn't make it appropriate for a Metroidvania.

>>160885975
That kinda defeats the purpose of metroidvania, doesn't it?

awesome find, I'll have to read more into that

I'm doing this right now in my slope check
yMovement = xMovement * Mathf.Tan(slopeAngle);

which I really have to think about if that makes sense or not. It basically is attempting to convert some of the horizontal movement into vertical movement depending on the slope.
Right now I think my ground pushback code is interfering.

any helpful game maker bros here? The standard resolution for monitors is 16:9 right? So I have a room at 320 x 180 with a view and port at the same size. Still my character sprite is still slightly distorted. What gives?

Not if you think Spelunky's level generation is at all comparable to Isaac's, m8. See you in the funny papers.

>...not inherently, no.

The way I see it the appeal to metroidvania games is that it's all essentially one big carefully crafted puzzle. You traverse the game field often enough that you become intimately familiar with it yet so much thought and work was put into it that you're constantly finding new secrets, gaining access to new areas via new abilities, and so on that you never get board of it. If anything even though you traverse the same area many times, your perspective of said area changes over time to keep it fun and interesting.

If you randomly generate rooms for players to travel through then you lose all of that. A player may still have to travel through the region often enough to become familiar with it but it will quickly become uninteresting and just feel like a long slog moving back and forth across the game field.

pic related, your players when they decide to leave the game unfinished.

The dream

>>160891646
The PS1 could handle about 3000 tris rendered at any time.
I'll probably go above that because why not, but so far I have made sure that I can fit two characters within an environment, quite comfortably and well below the 3000 triangle mark.

>>160891646
This. The PS1 approach is to attempt to make a humanoid figure under limited resources and call it anthro if it doesn't make a cut.

>>160891867
True enough, but I'm adding extra loop cuts just to make animation much easier. Without those, I could easily get down to 500-600 tris, but see no very good reason to do so.

>>160891524
There's no inherent reason you can't generate a world with those qualities, though.

>>160897951
I started with raycasts, shooting a ray in all 6 directions to see if I could move there. If the raycast hits a wall or determines that the sprite was inside a wall, it stopped movement and adjusts it. This only detected things in the narrow ray, so I switched to boxcast which throws a box around. I then switched to spherecasts because I wanted to implement slopes.

>>160897973
sorry, I'm just extra cautious about shitposters and I never understood people's strong opinions on IDEs, especially when monodevelop w/ unity is 99% text editor.

>>160875213
the grub seems kind of small considering the hole it made

>>160890610
it is though
its not exactly the same but the general generation design is very similar. on a basic level isaac's is generating a map layout, populating it with necessary rooms, and filling the rest in from a pool of predefined rooms.

spelunky in an extremely basic sense generates a starting predesigned chunk on the top row, generates the solution path, generates fills in the rest of the map with other predesigned chunks, then adds objects, enemies, etc. its really not that different from isaac in a general sense.
then again a lot of procedural generation works very similarly.

>>160898315

I never knew you could cast boxes or spheres.

I haven't worked much with Unity's built in physics though. The game I'm working on, I'm trying to avoid using physics.

If you are going to make something in the genre of Advance Wars or similar, diagonals should be 2.

>>160899363
No, no, I don't want to weight them, I want to see if the target is withing range so diagonals should also be 1 because I want to check if the target is within "melee" range. And different distances for ranged attacks.

I'm using 5 for normal and 7 for diagonals in my pathfinding but it's a different case here.

Got about 6~ more examples to make, I'll probably post some vouchers later on once I submit it to the store.

It's a code package that lets you create Events and give them triggers, and once those triggers act it fires callbacks for listeners. There's a ton more to it, but I'll post documentation I'm making later on

After this I'll probably get back to the HTC Vive package I was going to make. Already created some helpers for managing controllers and the Event System I'm making was specifically for it.

Okay, so, apparently the problem I was having yesterday with the scene switching is fixed. I just replaced estroy with DestroyImmediate. Now everything works fine.

For now only the last enemy met gets destroyed, but technically I could just make a list and add the monsters' names to it every time the player touches one, and then remove all the monsters in the list from the overworld. Might be CPU heavy though since right now I'm using GameObject.Find to find the monster with the right name.
I will eventually have to serialize stuff, but I first need to study up on json and shit, because I don't know anything about that.

I wasn't actually waiting for them to fix it, but I planned on writing my own networking since theirs has so many needless bugs

I am so glad I'm writing my game from scratch

Distance shader is shaping up, even though I'm pretty much completely clueless.

nevermind the non-existing flight model for the jet, it won't be pilotable in the end anyway.

Rather than making a game you waste your time, and our time, with your stupid agenda.

>>160912802
So this is how Wingman would look if it was made in another engine....
Whoa....

Nah just kidding, I like it. It gives a good old-school feel, especially with the music. Good job.

If you don't pilot that plane, then what is the game about though?

Tell me about your game

>>160912598
I gave up on networking a long time ago. The scope it adds to your game is insade, it is 2x as much work added and it is not worth it at all for indie games

it's a shitty adventure puzzler game with nice bright colours but awful art direction and very few, minimalist, mechanics upon which everything will be centred when I'm finished

Morning /agdg/. G'devin to ya.

>>160912779

I'm seriously not trying to be a confrontational shitposter here- but what's the gameplay like? Is it like lemmings but with little cultist dudes?

>>160913175
Unfortunately yes. Lemmings/platformer.

Such a pity.

>>160912949

I'm making a diablo clone.

I don't care what anyone says. It's my favorite genre, I've played pretty much every single one of the ARPG or loot based, or whatever you want to call it genre of game. I love it and want more, and I want to make a few gameplay, class, character and enemy ideas come to life. Not to mention each game has a slightly different system for things and each has elements I like; I'd like to combine them all into something new and interesting.

>I don't like [entire genre]
Top tier opinion forming, man.

>Regret
Pick one.

Thanks man. I probably should've just told you, but if it's any consolation, you weren't the only one I've had to manually enter. I don't mind doing that, but it invites possibility of human error and forgetfulness like what happened this week. I made sure your score wasn't reset or anything, so no worries.
>>160894867
I'll be expecting you next week, anon

The engine is a doom port called "zandronum". Music is by some amazing guy who offered to compose 90's midi rock for me right out of the blue.

The game will be a simulationist mech/power armor tactical fps, with aesthetics of some early GL game from -97. The jet is just there for called-in close air support.

And now i have to make the cockpit look like a cockpit
But man, cockpit design is complicated as shit since i need to add new stuff gradually so it will fuck with any existing design for control distribution and stuff

>>160912949
It is garbage

>>160913524
Pls stop insulting garbage.

>>160913524
>>160913560
This. At least garbage exists, unlike your game
