made two types of cactus enemies

one just walks slowly back and fourth, but the other follows the players inputs (and has some AI) to keep it from falling at times

it tries to BOX the player in to stab them while following their movements basically

Had some electrical problems at home during the weekend so I couldn't post before.

Progress time:
Uploaded a new build: https://jcs.itch.io/vampires-bit-demo
No new features on it besides having a 4x resolution option, some tweaks/optimization and F12 to take screenshots, since I have been focusing on getting rid of all the game breaking bugs before adding the new content.

If you still have that bug with the vampire not appearing at the start of the level, wait for the timer to be between 50 and 30 seconds and press T to get an error code I need to fix it, because I could never replicate that bug.

The only successful waifu games are the ones with a big dev team behind like Dreaming Sarah or Memedora and they've all decided to permanently cut ties with this place.

>webm related haven't seen this dev since

So do you:

a) Work on the feature until it's "done". It's functional, does what it's supposed to do, at a very basic level, so you can move on to other features, and put all the polish and tweaking at the end.

b) Work on the feature and spend more time on it until it stand and you probably won't have to touch it ever again.

It appears to me that (a) would be wiser, because of flexibility and how everything can change during development, no matter how slightly.

The only thing I get from (b) is just the gratification of getting something done in a definite way.

What does AGDG think?

>>161904019
A

>>161903589
You're the biggest loser here, geek. Probably a virgin too.

>>161904019
B will make you feel better. You won't feel like you have to come back to it later.

But I find it's also pretty unrealistic. Unless you know exactly what you're making you're bound to change things as you keep deving.

>>161904019
>b) Work on the feature and spend more time on it until it stand and you probably won't have to touch it ever again.
B will literally never happen

>>161904019
A unless it's the only mechanic in the game. When mechanics interact, often stuff comes up that wasn't anticipated. Best to not spend time doing work that'll only ultimately be undone while you work on the interplay between your mechanics.

>>161904019
A unless you already have all the features and game structure planned ahead

>>161904019
b) option is the nodev option. and an illusion

>>161904019
c) work on a feature until i get bored, promise ill finish it later, then never do, until i remove it one day because i cbf to fix it

>>161904461

posted last thread, but no replies.

i need some help with gamemaker

i'm running a shader that is global to the application surface. since im redrawing the application surface, i need to manually resize it since if i change the resolution, it gets fucked up
the issue is that sometimes if i close the game, i get an error message after its closed that it cannot retrieve the window's dimensions (since it's closed). how do i work around this? its inconsistent and only happens about 1/4 times i close the game. i added the conditional thinking that it would alleviate the problem but it didnt help.

any advice?

Seriously though, how would a magical girl game work? Like, when you're transformed you fight against the bad guys etc, but what about when you're not transformed?
Should the game be split into 2 modes with different gameplay? I'm at a loss.

Sorry for late reply,

Thanks. Yeah, I guess I could clean up the arms a bit more.

>what's the camera going to be like?
I was thinking a simple third-person type thing (behind and above, at an angle). Static side-view for the airship interior.

But all that is just dreaming at this point. I don't know how to program shit.

No offense 2d devs but when I scroll through search:gamedev in tumblr and see walls of 2D pixel platformers it really does make me queasy.

>>161913725
I've done it a bunch of different ways and have never been all that satisfied with any of them.

The way I'm doing it right now is that I position a game object in Unity with the thruster component on it. The component then tells which "bank" that thruster is a part of. For example, it can be defined as a thruster in the "pitch up" bank. I also created a custom inspector which has buttons to auto assign that value so you don't have to do it manually if you don't want to.

On the ship itself there's a component that sorts all of them into separate banks based on what the thruster says it should be in. I have a context menu function to automatically do all that sorting so I don't have to manually assign all of those.

Like I said, I don't really like this system, but I've never done one that I've been totally happy with. Doing it totally programmatically based on naming conventions of sub meshes (or dummies) on the model is an appealing thought, but I have a mental block with doing something that requires such specific naming conventions and is so easily broken. Maybe I should get over that.

If I was on my computer I could show you a short webm of the process but I won't be home for some hours.

>>161915723
The theme was supposed to be super deep / ironic / satire, but I didn't get around to completing the story.

I was going to have the volcanic eruption be half metaphorical, in that it was symbolic of your infidelity to your wife. The actual event didn't hurt your family, but the ashen fallout (representing discovery of your affair) destroyed everything. I was even gonna have your child named ashley, and maybe she was just a metaphor too. Destroying the harmless ash ghosts was another thing.

>>161915789
falling through the floor wasn't intended and I think I fixed most of it with the latest build, but moving with platforms was.
It was part of the "can't hold onto anything" / "life is slipping away" joke
I admit it was a bit difficult for a demo, but I'm a platformer freak. sorry about that

>>161915610
Oh I just remembered why I didn't do it the model naming dummy way. At some point you're going to have to define what particles or whatever special properties might exist on a certain thruster. If they were all generated at runtime, something needs to be defining all those specifics. I can't think of a way of doing that that isn't really unwieldy in the editor so that's why they're all game objects with thruster components on them.

I guess another alternative would be pulling that data from a configuration file of some kind that's on the hard drive that defines all that stuff like a proper data driven game would, but I've never gotten to the scales where such a thing was required.

>there's a lot you can do to give your game a minimalistic style
You're not totally in the wrong but when you think in the scope of the whole game then even getting a minimalistic and -consistent- art direction is harder than most people think.

I mean, in the example of a platformer you can probably get one minimalist character moving and jumping around but then you enter the next stage of development and notice that you will need far more stuff to start designing the levels around, like enemies, props and backgrounds. And the more you add to your scene the faster art inconsistencies will appear.

I was just playing your game and had to give up after fifteen minutes of trying to get across that very chasm featured in your webm. Which was a shame because i'fd very much liked to have seen where the story goes.
imo it would have been nice if those moving platforms didn't move out from under the dino and you didn't have to run to try and stay on them, but i guess you were targetting hardcore gamers with your game.
Anyway nice game. I'll give the easier version a try tomorrow. Hopefully I can make it across now.

Trying out a different movement/targeting system (took a whooping 3 lines of code), how does it look?

>>161922757
Not bad at all. It is fun and runs surprisingly good for something made in libgdx, Managed to moonwalk over 42 humans. But I believe I was abusing some sort of bug, as my health seemed to refill when I touched the boundaries of the level and got teleported back to my initial position. On the bright side, it could be an interesting addition to the game. One point on the stage with no humans in sight but where you can slowly heal yourself.

>>161923198
Thanks for the feedback. I'm interested to know more about this bug, you may simply be teleporting immediately on top of a human and killing them for HP, as standing on people is the only way to gain health currently. The soft boundaries aren't really something I want in the final game, I simply put them in to stop you from walking off forever in the demo. I'm planning on having more buildings etc that you can't walk over in order to confine you.

>>161923184

is it going to be a space assassin game ?

>>161923438
Since I'm drawing heavy inspiration from system shock and underworld that's okay.

>>161923184
So, let me get this straight:

If you touch an enemy, you go into this arena thing? So it's like a JRPG, but instead of being turn based, it's "live"?

I'm happy you went with vikings. Witches are good, but sometimes it's good to see something else for a change.

>>161923184
For lock-on combat it looks great. You might want to consider whether you want to present players with the option to move and orient themselves in ways that aren't in relation to a specific enemy. I could play an entire game with the movement scheme you've presented here and potentially enjoy it, but I don't know whether that would be a common opinion.

class Foo
{
public:

static void(Foo::*(Foo::*bar)())();
};

Assign and call bar. You should be able to solve this.

>So, let me get this straight:
>If you touch an enemy, you go into this arena thing? So it's like a JRPG, but instead of being turn based, it's "live"?
What a mindbender. Never seen the Tales of/Star Ocean series (among others)?

>>161923002
that's basically the halfway point

I sorta want to add to it, but I really need to work on my main project for demo day 12

lemme know if its still too hard, like I said my sense of difficulty is kinda skewed.

>>161923459
I rechecked it, and yes, seems I just was accidentally teleporting on people and stomping them. What does help a lot when you teleport is the fact thet people stop shooting at you for a really small amount of time. Hope to see your progress on this. I want to see how much ir evolves.

Because I'm an artist by trade. I don't have to solve shit.

I kinda miss the dinos flying everywhere when the asteroid hits the ground thoug, that was funny as fuck.

Yeah pretty much, it's actually quite common in Actio RPGs like >>161923909 says.

Also, I think I'll go with a mix of both, a magical girl based on valkyrie and norse mythology.

w-why ? d-do you find it easy to cross that section ?

>>161924296
Actually they still fly everywhere but I toned down the explosion force a bit.
Also since they turn dark gray, they might be harder to see.

Is this your way of getting downloads? Fine I'll download it and see how hard it really is, don't let me down now.

>>161924745
are you not just making the kind of game you want to play

>>161924602
Is true they still fly everywhere, I'm blind and didn't notice it since they turned grey. You have your 10/10 back.

I had it much worse in testing, and in the latest build the blocks are double width and much easier

jumping helps because it gives you time to adjust left and right more without falling off

>>161924935
nah the difficulty wasn't intended and I'm not proud enough to shill

why not a space assassin ?

Can someone give me the pros/cons of each popular engine, specifically the ones you guys are using:
Unity
Gamemaker
Unreal
And whatever else you use

I procrastinated ;_;

try pressing middle click to see a preview of the third person mode I had planned, though the side collisions aren't as complete as the others.

>>161925503
cool

>>161925204
ask yourself, why a space assassin? why not a mahou shoujo based on valkyrie and norse mithology?
no but seriously, this is like the third time you've asked me to put a space assassin in the game, what's up with that?

Anyone used mtpaint here?
Just installed it while looking for some drawing programs and it seems quite nice.

>>161925503
I will never stop hating this sort of shitty "scanline shader". Never.

>>161925663
Thanks.

>>161925909
I made it toggleable for the specific purpose to avoid having people bitch about it. Guess it didn't work.

>>161925909
well, that's a scanline alright

Today I mostly did some code refactoring. I cleaned up my main class, moved things to new smaller classes.

Also added a few new perks and bonuses. Here is the latest state of the game.

This was a long video, quality was thrash when I keep it below 3mb.

Tried it, made me chuckled. You have some ideas but need to get a bit better at handling the Unity engine.

>>161926017
>>161926045
>well, that's a scanline alright
No, it definitely isn't. It's a "darken every other line of pixels and call it a scanline because I have no idea what an actual scanline is or what an actual scanline looks like" attempt to bullshit.

What's your game, anon? I can't figure out which game this may belong to.

>>161926218
I'm guessing it was source poster and he got banned

>>161926017
well I like it, good job. +1 for option as well.

>>161925503
Good job. 1st demo speedrunner here

And stop replying to shitposters. Whatever you do they will complain and shitpost.

>>161925136

>>161926325
oh, well the link is pretty legit. it's just a gamedev article by the creator of gmod/rust.

>>161926161
this feels way too slow personally. the movement, the bullets, it's just dull. amp it up by 5x, maybe 10x.

>>161926335
Thank you.

>>161926351
Thank you!
And you're right. It's just tough to tell a shitposter from legit criticism when it's your own game.
