You've been here how long and have never made a game?

i hate your pic, but i'll bump this because this shortened op autism is getting out of hand

youtgameideaistoobig is telling me it will take a month to make my game.
learning how to draw and animate characters is going to take a year or more by itself.

>>161145026
I started getting into gamedev last year.

Finished games: 2 (Mobile but hey)
Prototypes/demos: 2 (plus several unfinished/abandoned)
Jams: 8
Pros and cons:
+ Learned a lot of C# + Unity
+ Learned almost everything I know about Blender, animating and texturing
- Still pretty bad at coding
- Haven't practiced drawing in many months (I do 3D but I'm decent at drawing)

>>161145026
Finished games: 1
Prototypes/demos: 1
Jams: 0 (was considering jumping in if boat jam 2 became a thing)
Pros and cons:
+ Proved I was able to make a video game to completion
- still can't into modelling and animations

>>161145026
games finished: 0
demos: 6
jams: 1
P & N:
+ Accepted myself as a failure
+ Joined the military
- haven't become any better at art
- haven't made a dime

Is the female who volunteered for lewd voice acting here? Last time I'm asking.

How the fuck do stats work in RPGs?
Like, if a character is the defensive type, or the offensive type. or the fast but weak type, how do you make it so the corresponding stat increases more than the other when they level up?

>>161145419
>asking this while sage
rude

>>161145368
>+ Joined the military
That's not a + my man

>>161145419
Fuck off

Thank you for the proper thread just report the other.

>>161145446
Actually, saging when you're not posting content is polite. It doesn't matter much on /vg/ though, due to how generals work.

>>161145442
by letting the player put in the stat points themselves.

>>161145494
when you've been without an income for 12 months, it is.

>>161145793
That's actually a good point. Thanks.

>>161145419
>>161145338
She seems interested, but she's sick atm, so you have to wait. I'll leave the link here.

>>161145442
In Rpg Maker 2003 you would do this by editing some graphs which had the stat value for every corresponding level until 100. If you wanted to have infinite levels I think you would need a function.

>>161145880
Right. Thanks for doing this.

>quiet thread
I love it when everyone is working hard on their game.

Functions. Do you remember those from school? X will be the level, Y will be the value of the stat at a certain level.

>>161146470
>Do you remember those from school?
Ahah
No

Thanks for these. Though that means I need a function for each stat for each character, right?

Can I use sound effects someone ripped from a Super Robot Wars game in my own? If not, would editing their pitch or something in Audacity make them usable? I remember some games doing that and I need mech sounds.

>whats wrong?
>"n-nothing.. it's just... like... well... why don't you make a game more like... i dunno.. COD for exmaple, that is a pretty cool game..?"
at that point my dev motivation left me at such a speed it was even able to escape the pull of the black hole which is my soul

>>161145026
Finished Games: 0
Prototypes: 2
Demos: 3
Jams: 1
Pros and Cons
+ Showed my work to people outside of my group of friends
+ Got a lot of feedback that helped me improve
+ Finally started learning 3D after years of avoiding it
- Left unfinished 2 prototypes
- Still bad at music
- a lot of questionable stuff in my workflow

Hope I can release a new demo before the year ends, and finish the game before it turns one year old, to focus more on the other projects/prototype I forgot about.

>>161146590

Felt pretty good as I wasn't expecting them to like them.

>>161146675
he is not my target demo, i have like 2 irl people to which i talk to and can show them my game, so it's not like i can be picky when it comes to beta testers

>>161146590
That's why avoid telling people that I make games. People that have no idea about game deving will usually expect you pulling a COD or God of War clone all by yourself, and get dissapointed when they see something different.

The draw text function in game maker doesn't show hiragana or katakana
Should I make a separate font for that?
I'm not even sure what I'd use hiragana for in the games so if it's too complicated I won't bother but I'm just wondering why it doesn't work

>Brother catches wind of me wanting to make games

Pro tip: Don't let people find out about your game dev unless you start selling shit.

>>161146730
the problem is that even costumers except that, so good luck selling your game on steam etc when everyone expects it to be GTA 6
Those faggots think you can for example slap together a character model like the dude form assassins creed in like 30 minutes

>>161146590
did i click fucking /r9k/ by accident

>>161146778
they're not wrong

>>161146827
Is there a better way to sell your game other than steam? I don't have 100 usd or whatever the greenlight fee is

Wannabe Nintendo Clone here
I've finished my fishing mechanic
Alongside my combat mechanic and quicksave stuff
I've only got one last thing left before I start working on the animations.
I'm so happy my shit is finally coming together for the second time.

>>161146827
Yeah, that's a big issue for 1ma indie devs in general.

>>161146853

Mobile dev is awful, and a shithead one man indie dev can't really make shit that appeals to broad demographics.

That being said I don't want to appeal to a broad demographic, there's AAA studios for that, and if I made a fucking safe and bland game that appeals to everyone, why the fuck would people want to buy -my- game over the other garbage on offer

>>161146907
Hey, that's pretty good
Thanks for the idea, I should think of optional mini-games to include

A question for someone that used rpgmaker (especially mv), where is stored the value for walking speed? i know that some games let you choose in the option so if the value is in some file i would be able to change it.

>>161146956
Indie games are hip

>>161146881
No. Steam created absolute monopoly over indie market.
Having your own website will net you 0 sales, selling on other platforms will net you 95% less sales than steam.

>>161145240
>Learning how to draw and animate characters is going to take me a year

>>161147030
That's sad. Would Kickstarter be a good idea? I don't really know what to put in as Kickstarter goals other than "get a free copy of the game", at the very least it could cover up the steam fee

>>161145046
Huh what's with the p e d o OP?

>>161147094
Nope. Kickstarter is only for games with amazing graphics like porn games (monster girl island for example from agdg). If you use programmer art it's game over even if its the best game on the planet

>>161147162
>If you use programmer art it's game over even if its the best game on the planet

>what is undertale

>>161147162
Well fuck. Guess I'll have to get some of my friends to help me out with the game's artwork. While I don't suffer from programmer art syndrome, my art isn't the best. Maybe I'll try and stylize the shit out of it.

But then again Undertale's art was shit and look at what happened to it on Kickstarter

Boat Jam was technically Boat/Mecha Jam, but then again that was a big failure of a jam.

I just want a reason to make a small Mecha game as a prototype for a bigger one I can make in the future. And I also want to play agdg's mecha games.

>>161147392
Time to figure out what made Undertale explode
Pandering to SJWs? Show that in the trailer and never include it in the game because fuck SJWs

>>161147276
Mecha jam was a disaster.
Just like Boat jam.
Just like Zelda jam.
Just like this Dinosaur jam will be.

You people need to realize that it's time to stop piling on useless jams and start working seriously on your games.

Guys, I can decide on how to add greeble to my UI. Pic related is top left corner of my UI. The line starting with blue must stay to give it a saturated look. But what should I put on that line.

The current one is virtually the same as Turn counter above. Perhaps I could add something else time related there. Regular day/month/year doesn't really apply since this is a colony on an alien planet(with dinosaurs). Earth date wouldn't make sense there.

You can see it in action here: >>161146581

>>161147446
>made Undertale explode
Thirsty Earthbound fanbase. They were waiting for a sequel and the autist just knew how to pander to them.

Stardew Valley is the same. It's a Harvest Moon but pandering to SJW of the West so everything in it has country musics and typical westernized archetype like the used good, the liberated scientist woman or the rebellious gamer girl who has dyed her hair purple.

>>161147464
No. By making Jam games you exercise your creativity and practice your skills by learning things you wouldn't have learned while working on your main game.
As >>161140549 >>161140365 shows, Jam games can also become your main game later on if you expand on them.

Pros and cons:
+ Slowly figuring out how to get my game to do the things I want it to do
+ I learned a lot about game design thanks to feedback and YouTube videos, kind of
- Don't have any sound for my game
- My art will be subpar but I know how to use Spriter and I'll combine it with frame by frame spriting and smears to hopefully make good looking animations
- Don't have any interest in jams because I'm working on my own project for almost 3 months now

Is the HappieCat channel on Youtube good/useful? It looks pretty cool to me but I'm not completely sure.

As an artist I've tried for years to work with programmers. It was always shit and they never followed through and I was left with a ton of useless art assets.

I've moved away from Gamedev, boys. I'm just going to try to make a comic or something that I can create with art alone. My art has really improved and I'm in a happy place for myself right now, but I will always enjoy gamedev. You guys are doing a great thing and I have great respect for everyone honestly working hard and trying their best, especially one-man-armies.

I believe in you guys. You've got a good thing here. Don't lose it.

I had something in my head about a brothel management game (I know there's already a few of them) and the girls rooms you just see the silhouette of them getting fucked when you get customers
if it does go in that direction then its a small part of a bigger game, but I plan on releasing the animation editor

So agdg have you ever dreamt with your game?

I have twice. First one was about me having a crazy fan that made a shit ton of merchandising with my MC for himself, he would post pics of backpacks, t-shirts, a modded xbox, and more shit, and he was crazy good at art.
Second one was me deciding to double the resolution and breaking everything to the point even the back ups were fucked up for some reason.

>>161148204
put them on the unity store if you are not going to use them anyways and try to find someone to work with that you can meet in person instead of online

>>161147791
it wont be like a nintendo game, but will hold a lot of tropes
I'm more going for the feel of nintendo, the bright pastels, the gentle and easy to grasp (yet tough to master) gameplay.
It will have more in common with a zelda title in that there is adventure elements and semi-puzzle solving involved I suppose.

>>161148204
I sincerely hope that you're not theonian or I'll be extremely mad that you didn't find a programmer even for your last progress.

>>161149919

What you need is a decent source code extractor.

l33t0r made one that works fairly okay, but even with good source code extractors the code reconstruction isn't hundred percent so you're left with some broken up code that can take some time to puzzle back together.

Draw your UI in the draw gui event of an object. 0,0 is the top left corner of your screen if you draw in draw gui.

>>161154415
If you want UI elements to be proportional to screen size then you'd do stuff like (this is pseudocode obviously) uibox.x = 0, uibox.y = screenwidth/2, so on and so forth.

I can't imagine how you're going to get your UI to look the way you want without fiddling with it, though. You could program it so that you can change its dimensions and position in real time, I suppose.

That's rough. I think there was some sort of plugin or project that could be used to design ui and output code to use in the draw_gui event, but that may have been for GM7 or GM8 (pre-studio).

What's the best way to keep hit/hurt boxes in Gamemaker?

I could store all x1, x2, y1, and y2 values in an array for each move (st.lp, st.mp, etc). With that, I'll just do a collision_rectangle check during the active frames in the player state. This would allow for direct manipulation of the box sizes, however, it seems limited to a single hitbox.

The other way would be to create an invisible 1x1 object that I use x_scale and y_scale to manipulate the size. This would allow for multiple instances to be created for hit/hurt boxes. I would still have to create some kind of array though to store the x and y scaling values.

Anyone have good input on hit/hurt boxes? It seems like the latter method is the way to go, but maybe there's a better option that I haven't realized.

>>161159771

>>161160729
Are you using the built in deltatime or your own?

Make an empty object and place it in the room.

In the create event, put in this code:
global.gameSpeed = 1;
global.delta = 0;
global.deltaPreGameSpeed = 0;

In a begin step, use this code:
global.deltaPreGameSpeed = delta_time / (1000000/60);
global.delta = global.deltaPreGameSpeed * global.gameSpeed;

>>161161017
Then multiply all your movement code by global.delta instead of deltatime.

This is also assuming 60 fps, hence the 60 in global.deltaPreGameSpeed

So I've continued working on this script which filters dialogue through a characters personality by switching out words with a degree of randomness weighted by the various "dialects" which compose their personality. I'm nicknaming it Project Smalltalk.

I made this script to help me build a giant dictionary of interchangeable words, each which I'll rank to various dialects. Before I do this I need to decide what dialects I want to consider. I can have redundant ones which will be rarely used (eg Pirate) because the default value is zero and I'll just tab through these easily. I also don't need to do ones which are opposites of eachother because I can generate those automatically with just one of the two (eg uneducated and educated). With all of this considered I'd love to take suggestions.

Your team fell for some snake oil, that's what I think. MVC is a pattern designed to make standard GUI applications "easier" to develop with large teams by taking away programmer freedom to write "messy" code.

>>161170523

I don't even know what toptal is. But my team is using this ... strategy?

In GM surfaces, can a surface have transparent parts and opaque parts?
I'm trying to draw a frame on a surface but the middle of the frame surface has a fucked up version of the application surface, covering anything underneath

Any help?

>>161170597
Yes. A surface has exactly the color and opacity of what you draw to it.

>>161170586
you don't make it sound bad.
And why is it "easier" for standard GUI applications?

>>161170051
>>161170586
That said, there's always some good in decoupling logic from presentation. For instance, sharing most character code between players and NPCs where the difference is what provides the (abstract) input. Or having both a model and a icon for units in an RTS. MVC isn't a good fit for the way games work, though.

>>161170716
Because when a code monkey is told to write code for X with MVC mandated, they will only fuck up 1/3 of something instead of the whole thing.

>>161171219
When you initialise the surface, you should do a clear draw on it, so eventual leftovers are cleaned up. The surface tutorial has that exact command.
>outer edges
Note that the surface can only draw what is actually in its dimensions. Whenever you draw to a surface, you also change the frame of reference.
If you create a 32x32 surface and draw a pixel at 64x64y (because it's the global coordinate for that pixel or something), the pixel won't show up on the surface, because it's outside of 32x32.

I've never really been a big fan. We had to use it a couple of times at school, and I guess it would be good in a 10-20 people team for programs and apps, but I feel like the headache isn't worth it for small games, especially not a 1MA.

It's doubly good if you're working if graphic designers or other people that aren't too programmy savy, that way if they change shit around it doesn't affect your stuff at all, and vice versa.

>>161171703
Just clear it with
draw_clear_alpha(c_white,0);
This draw function takes the dimensions of any sprite/surface and makes every pixel opacity 0.

I started designing a character I had in my head and then I realised it just didn't work. I sat back and thought of what art styles I pictured fitting the main character and then I remembered Quest 64. I like the way the hero was shaped even if the game was bad, so I started building the hero and adapting him to voxels just to get a rough shape I wanted.

I don't think the apron works in a voxel model so I'm going to have to adapt that out of it but other wise it seems to be going reasonably well. I'm posting because I'm slightly concerned that it looks a bit too Kingdom Hearts. Thoughts?

I see what you mean, I made an account just so I could bulk download entire boards with jDownloader. I hoarded a lot of good reference pics this way so I can't complain.

Sorry, like, RPG items that can go into an inventory, myriad weapons, armour, consumabled, with different magical effects and such.

"regular porn" and hentai are not different in any way, both are consumed by people inept to socialize like a normal human being.

Finished games: 1
Prototypes/demos: 4
Jams: 3
Pros and cons:
+ I'm really good at Swift and C++ now
+ I can make a game fast enough to sell in a week
- you still need to know about bit shifting and stuff they teach you in school to land a job at a big game studio

>>161172752
Well there's nothing just about that that inherently asks for either composition or inheritance. They are just two different ways to facilitate code reuse (inheritance does a little more, as well).

Is it fair to say you don't know exactly what you want? Then you should favour composition. Inheritance tends to fail if it's not meticulously planned out.

>>161145139
4 years fell for the enginedev meme ;_;

How do I into rotating a turret with a body and a barrel pivot set at arbitrary rotations around the ship while capping their rotations in local space?

Math is hard ;_;

>>161173601
Convert from world to local, constrain local, convert back to world? Better yet, convert the local constraints to world constraints.

>>161173093
There is nothing wrong with calling degeneracy out.

What?

>>161173601
you give the turret a local transform and parent it to the ship, then you multiply the turret's transform and the ships transform

Take game/thing you like. Think of all the shit you felt they did wrong, could have done better, didn't include at all or included but it was unnecessary fluff. Make version of game/thing with all the above critique in mind.

did you ever fix the draw card hitbox being broken in fullscreen mode?

Late answer but yeah, pretty much. I'm taking some inspiration from the Tales series.

I don't know what could be the problem, but there's a seam between my backgrounds and it's really annoying. However the code is so simple I don't understand what could be the issue.

I have 2 scrolling backgrounds, one that starts at (0,0) and one that starts at (-width,0). Both are moving to the right at the same speed, and when one of them reaches the end of the screen, it goes to (otherBackground.x - width, 0).

Any clues? (LibGdx if that could somehow have a role in this.)

>>161174389
>Player can do anything and everything, wow!!

Tod please.

>>161175024
it says they can go anywhere, not do anything. that's completely different.

>>161145139
I have been making Source®™© "levels" for 6 years and will never make a game and do not care :)

>>161174582
oh yeah
the problem wasn't fullscreen but scale = x2. Since my laptop monitor wasn't big enough to test it normally I had to just play the game in giant overlapping ui elements mode

speaking of I never figured out why it crashes when you go into fullscreen. If that happened to you, mind telling me your monitor resolution so I can see if I can reproduce?

it's probably a float rounding error

>>161175538
so 2048x1152? fair enough, thanks anon~

>>161175865
it's also annoying as fuck
and imagine if that faggot's game succeeds because he is using stolen shit from your game, while your own game fails for whatever reason.. people killed for less than that

>>161174919
>it goes to (otherBackground.x - width)
Are you performing an update on the otherbackground after setting the position of the first background without also updating the position of the first background?
so
background1 updates its position and detects it is too far off screen, snaps to background2's position
on the same frame, background2's position is updated which creates the gap

I don't really see how. Even if there was one both of them would be affected by the same error, which would simply cancel it out.

>>161174919
I concur with >>161176165.

>>161175796
It's definitely not that.

>>161176064
Well clearly it's not the imitated feature that brought them success or you would be successful too. What's the problem?

I'm watching episodes of homemade hero. Is there any reason to try to code a game from scratch in C other than for educational purposes? Even after 351 hours, the guy seems so haggard and unhappy with the product.

How the fuck is that game still so trashy?? What does he do with all that time? Dude will be doing this into his eighties if he actually wants to shit out a decent product

>>161176169
>>161176205
no because 0 stays 0 but when you cast a float to an int like you're doing then it will round up

What are the salaries like in game programming?

Is it a fulfilling and lucrative career, or does it just lead to unprestigious cuckdom?

Hi there, I'm the same guy from Tuesday. I decided I'm going to do more work before asking you to do any voice acting but first I want to decide which character you will do the voice for since I'm going to work on it first.
Can you record "*giggle* Get ready to have your ass kicked!" in a playful/confident way
and "In the name of justice I WILL PUNISH YOU" in a heroic manner
and also "Surrender, or taste my blade." in a serious way
I think it will take a month or maybe more and since I know you're in discord I will look for you there or if you want you can send me an email (see pic)

>>161176348
No, but I think it's still a good resource if you want an in-depth look on specific things.

>>161176490
The goal isn't to make a particular game, the goal is to do a tutorial of making a simple game (with the idea that the audience can apply concepts to any game) from basically the bare minimum. If it used particular libraries then it would only be applicable to those libraries, so I understand the idea of starting from scratch.

>>161176549
There's a lot more than 1 pixel of error there, anon, not to mention it only looks like floats are used for delta timing.
