I've never used a Dictionary before, is there any way to initialize the dictionary without using .add?

No muscles attached to it. Can't blink/move any more than nails can. Was originally more of a wartish appearance but everyone kept going 'what is that enormous pimple' and I got tired of explaining it. So now it's an eye that doesn't move.

I see. To be completely honest, neither looks completely great with the rest of the character (which is pretty dang good)

I mean, you're going to end up explaining it in-game or through supplementary materials either way, whether it's a wart or a third eye.

I've yet to find a suitable alternative, sadly.

>>162017550
Thanks. I don't know why, but I really enjoy that zoom effect. Do you think that it's actually a bad thing?

>>162017652
Thanks for calling this a good progress, but why can't you progress anon?

>>162017928
I would like it if you zoomed in and then replaced the pixel sprite with high-res hand-drawn character art. This is the most inane idea but I wanna see it in action.

>>162017728
Probably a few months of work to go, so no release date planned yet.
Artist sorts mix their personal junk with their work on blogs all the time.

It's certainly jarring and seemingly pointless? There are perhaps other reasons to use it, it's a useful thing to know how to do. It just didn't seem to fit

At the end of the splash animation just below the tombstones, change the last frame so the horizontal line is broken up or something, or just remove it all together.

To me, it currently looks like a bug / error

>>162018197
Well, according to facts, that pause takes last sprite of player animation would mean that I would have to draw each sprite of every character animation in game in "hd" version. Well, my drawing skills are shit, so that's really insane. But who knows? Maybe some day, if I finish everything else and will be bored to death?

That's funny because you just made me think hard about it for a moment.

Always happens when coding is almost done. The placeholder scene looks like meh and just doesn't give me any incentive to continue working on the game.
Maybe because it's a comfy game and thus relies a bit in the long run on visuals? I should probably just drop my idea and work on something else.

Though it's probably going to end the same once I reach the "make art and make content" part of the development again

You have to take all integration into account. That means acceleration and possibly more.

You could probably even add new card expansions/packs/series later on (either via update or DLC) since you already said you can tie packs with locations and shit. Sounds like it could be amazing. New decks+new areas/stories/mysteries/old gods to go with them. That would be DLC worth buying.

Whats the diference between apply force and impulse?

>>162019787
If you're talking GM then the documentation will explain the difference. If you're talking something else, the documentation will probably explain the difference.

>>162019787
Applying force takes delta time into account, applying an impulse does not.

Wrote this raytraced shadow shader today to keep some processing load off the CPU and make the world look a little better.
It casts rays to the light from every cell of the heightmap and figures out if something's blocking it by checking every cell's height between them.
Bruteforce as hell, but who gives a fuck, it's on GPU.

It took me longer to figure out how make this thing blend correctly with Unity's surface shaders and lights than actually writing the shader code.
There are so many undocumented and plain broken changes even between minor Unity versions and it's becoming pretty damn annoying.
I think it was worth it though, shadows add quite a bit of definition and the game's actually starting to look pretty comfy.

5*delta/mass and 5/mass respectively, but yes.

The impulse is supposed be instantaneous while the force is continuous and acts like it's happening over the entire frame in which you call the apply function.

>>162020110
Sure. Here's front on vs side

>>162019787
>FORCE
A force is applied over time. The longer the force is applied, the greater the acceleration.

Eg. Applying 10N of force for 1 second on a 1kg object accelerates it to 10m/s^2
However applying the same 10N of force for 0.1 second only accelerates it to 1m/s^2

F = ma
Force = mass * acceleration

>IMPULSE
An impulse gives a body an instantaneous change in velocity.

I = mv
Impulse = mass * velocity

(As Impulse is measured in Newton seconds (Ns), whereas Force is measured in just Newtons(N), an impulse of 8Ns gives the same change in velocity as a force is 8N applied for 1 second).

If you want Mario to jump, you apply an impulse. If you want an object to fall as if it's under gravity, you apply a constant force.

I tried to answer as non-autistically as I could, but I don't think it worked.

>>162020291
Or you could release earlier and make a big Halloween update, just an idea

>>162020270
I wish I could even come close to understanding shaders enough to pull this off

As someone who's never practically applied multithreading to a program, what's a good way to split up responsibilities in a game engine to minimize interdependency and increase parallelism?

One idea I've had is to dynamically detect how many CPU cores there are on the given platform (which is apparently possible given an SDL function), and split up data n-ways and have n many threads which perform the entire gambit on them (say, update physic then render). In this way, no data on a given thread is dependent on data on another thread.
(Though, typing this out now, I can see that is guaranteed, because any given thing in thread 1 could want to interact with thing in thread 3, for example).

Does this approach sound reasonable?

Finally rigged this piggy and made him a little grumpy animation as a test.

Happy (and surprised!) to see that my eyes animate properly too. Things are usually not as easy as you expect them to be, but this was no trouble at all.

Also gave him a special belly-bone, so that the belly can bounce, and it too seems to work as intended!
Today was a good day

>>162020562
I like it, but I would still remove the little top bit

>>162020126
It's already very hard as it is to find artists, and I've tried it twice and didn't work. Specifically :
- the first one called another programmer thinking it'd make find faster, the other programmer was almost never available and the project sort of died since I had to wait for either his work on direction confirmation.
- the second died because the artist just went his own way after I've teach him some coding. Not complaining though, it's sort of a good thing for him

You know, when I look back at my old folders I've seen that my most completed projects are the ones where I just picked ripped arts from existing games and made something for fun. I should probably just go back to that and find a fan-game thread instead of using the amateur one.

You should really stop starting every new thread with an acknowledgement of the insane shitposter. You do it in your link to the new thread and then you do it in the fucking OP. Stop being a fag.

Yeah, the eyes are probably responsible for 80% of that "personality". Really glad they actually worked.

>>162020373
>the polygons were inverted
Yes, that's what "normals" are. They decide which way the polygon is facing. If your mesh is properly constructed, Blender can automatically figure out which way the normals should be facing.

>>162020749
The only truly scalable and sane solution I've ever seen presented is to use a job system. All you do is specify what happens in the jobs (including kicking off more jobs) and the system works out how to thread them (you have some worker threads that keep track of job queues and push/pull as needed). With an API like futures it's really easy to use once it's implemented.
https://blog.molecular-matters.com/2015/08/24/job-system-2-0-lock-free-work-stealing-part-1-basics/

>>162020846
Well, I hope that maybe someday you will find some good artist to work with. But now just do, what makes you happy. You can keep on polishing your coding skills and at some point someone might recognize you. Good luck anon.

>>162020270
It's hard to tell the different layers on the side the light is hitting. Maybe there should be a slight ambient occlusion type effect, so there's like a faint shadow around the layer even in the light.

>>162021064
well since I'm done with that I can actually work in engine again

>>162020749
Some pointers:
You'll probably run into trouble with threads running at different rates depending on their load, and desyncing. So you need to always wait for the slowest thread to finish before starting another frame.
About interactions between threads - that's a fucking bitch to deal with. It's possible to run a "stitching" thread after the main threads have run. this thread would be only for the objects that wanted to interact across threads - main threads won't process them, only flagging them for stitching thread.

So a frame in your game would consist of a bunch of threads processing their own sections, once they're all done, stitch thread will process the potentially dangerous stuff and move objects between threads.

Nice E.Y.E clone.

>>162021619

That's pretty normal feature in indie fantasy games, so I would think it's fine because it's so common

so, how would I go about the following:
I'm looking for a combat system that incorporates the players movements, so if they hit the attack button whilst running away from their target, they will swing the sword backward ?
Like, I can very easily set a players complete rotaton to face the enemy for the duration of an attack, but if I want the feet to stay facing their movement direction, how would I go about this?
Seperate the model into two halves?

E.Y.E has healing through a syringe that can kill you and at the very least diminishes the effect if you use it too frequently.

Animation isn't my thing, but can't you give animations like weightings for what they effect, so you can have a sword swing that has no impact on the running legs.
However I can tell you that for idTech 3 (and older) games the character models were split to half due to technical limitation.

>>162022801
Ah, then in that cast yeah having two animation sequences, one for wast and below, and one for torso and the stuff connected makes more sense.

I'm guessing the player is also a robot? Only time I normally see this kind of question.

You could also look into animation blending (really good examples if you're using UE4).

Even for Unity you can weight the animations. So you weight the top animation at 1 in order to get it to work.

>>162020562
Not bad, but I don't think the clit is a good idea.

Interesting approach. One thing I hadn't considered is the lifetime of threads... should they be around for the entirety of the running of the program, or does it make sense to create them on a per-frame basis?

I'm considering things that don't necessarily need interaction, like movement of objects (before collision detection/resolution). While updating them, I could start threads, process, then destroy threads? Does that even make sense to do?

>>162024371
That is comfy, I like it.

>>162023030
>I'm guessing the player is also a robot? Only time I normally see this kind of question
no, it's just generic combat stuff
I want the player to be, when standing still, aim around and have only their upper body turn, much like in real life. Very common in thrid person action games like max payne/stranglehold

>>162024393
Creating new threads all the time is inefficient. Threads should be long-lived, which is another advantage of a job system (or "green threading" in general).

It's going to be a couch competitive sports/strategy game. I may export it out to phones as well but then would have to figure out online stuff.

When I started this 6 or so months ago, I didn't know anything about programming whatsoever, so I'm just sort of taking it day by day, failing miserably, and then rebuilding it again. We'll see.

I'm using UE4 and got a dungeon asset pack with the free 30$ they gave me

I can't decide between hand-crafting rooms and creating a dungeon generator that connects prebuilt rooms

Or, having the entire thing be procedural, IE it places every tile and builds the rooms

I can do both and each has their advantages and disadvantages

what is anons opinion?

Finished fixing the loop of the runing animation at least on the legs. Eventually will fix the arms.

>>162027051
That isn't really a question you should be asking random people on the internet who know nothing about your game.

Hand crafted, unless it is a roguelike

>>162027051
If you're going to be doing proc-gen dungeons either way then it'll probably be better to go with the difficult option that has more longterm benefit (handcrafted rooms will get repetitive after a while, whereas procedurally generated rooms will stay fresh longer).

>>162027151
That is a huge dong

>>162027185
I'm just making a dungeon generator for practice, I know how the combat system will work already but the dungeon generator can be built either way.

I've only build a small dungeon generator before so I was looking for opinions from anons who might have experience here on what they think works better

Either one will suit my game just fine, it's really a debate between time spent hand crafting rooms and time spent making algorithms better and for different room types etc

>>162026487
Using a more cpu intensive preset should do the trick, i.e. fast or medium.

your perspective is really fucking weird but so was Ultima 7 and UO's and those are the greatest games ever made, so right on anon

>>162027574
I don't really, I mean I know how the combat system will work and it'll fit just fine with either type of dungeon gen

But I'm not going into this with a GDD and a plan, I just want to make a dungeon generator for fun and experience. Not trying to release an actual game. If it gets that far, cool, but I'm realistic.

>>162027051
Agree with >>162027280, though it depends on gameplay somewhat, particularly in the distinction between what is systemic and what is content. If it's systemic, it's okay if it's repetitive. For instance, how you fight a particular enemy. If you want to make how you traverse particular rooms part of the system, you can make a handcrafted, finite set of them, but don't expect players to find traversing these rooms particularly fun. For instance, it doesn't work for a standard roguelike or close roguelite, but it works for Binding Of Isaac because combat is the focus.

Also if you do go with handcrafted rooms procedurally arranged, make sure you allow them to be mirrored and rotated. You can also strike a balance and parameterize them, although this is a grey area where you're toeing the line between what is algorithmic and what is data-driven and it just depends on how you prefer to edit it.

>>162027379
>ECS

Because it's the most effective? A lot of modern engines use it. The MGS engine, BF, even Final Fantasy all use it.

ECS is just a staple of modern game dev

>>162026915
Networking is hard but there's no easier way to learn it than a turnbased game. That is the absolute easiest case to work with.

>>162027718
Thanks, I guess. I know the perspective is wonky, but when trees fill out the left and right side, it isn't so glaringly bad. I just need to code them back into it, as they are dependent on the size of the field (which I'm letting players decide how wide and long they want the map when they start a game).

I had a bunch of different options for tile shape I fiddled around with but I settled on tiles of that size and shape because they made it really easy to see characters who were on the same column but different rows and vice versa.

IDK, I've come to like it.

>>162027379
ECS is what you get when you cross a lot of effective ideas for providing flexibility and performance (preferring composition over inheritance, data-driven design, data-oriented design), which are both important for games, so I'm not surprised.

It looks like there's basically 3 things happening at once. You've got the point light, the flame particles, and the ember particles. All the particles are emitted from the centre in a spherical fashion, and are swept back with the apparent wind. The ember particles are swept back faster, and the flame particles have animated textures and they also spin to give even more motion.

Green is the apparent wind (opposite of fireball's motion in still air), orange is how the particles tend to move, blue is how they tend to rotate (more as they get further away perpendicular to the apparent wind).

Theoretically, yes, practically, no. You could make an interface with these operations declared and constrain the type to be something that implements the interface but you cannot implement an interface with a class without the ability to edit said class.

>>162028913
Where do you get the idea that ECS is particularly object-oriented?

>>162028335
Pretty much >>162028743

Have a look at how they do fire in the UE4 demos, it's basically the same thing but just more particles, bigger and spinning.
'Point gravity' positioned slightly behind the ball is the "wind", it isn't actually necessary for moving them backwards since the ball would be moving and leaving them behind regardless, but I use it to create the tapered end.

It'd probably be fine if you accompanied it with a full screen shader that made it look more pixel and a little more blur. That's why old TVs playing super low resolution games you didn't see the pixels super sharply and thus why it looked pretty OK at the time.

The full hierarchy of stores is functional, albeit in a rough and manual way at the moment. I keep doing minor refactorings with code throughout all of this to keep it as simple as possible but that I'm already two layers deep into inheritance for the pylons and launchers makes me a bit uncomfortable.

The hierarchy looks like this:
>Hardpoint 3
>Pylon
>Pylon Mount 1
>Missile Launcher
>Launcher Mount 1
>Missile

A pylon then gets attached to the hardpoint. The pylon then carries a launcher (it can carry multiple launchers if specified to, although multiple carry isn't written yet). The launcher (which can also carry multiple stores, as it inherits from the same StoresCarriage class) then has the store mounted on it.

This is all configurable though, because pylons, launchers, and stores are all of the class Mountable. You can skip a step so for example mount a weapon directly to a hardpoint (if it supports that), or a weapon directly to a pylon (if it supports that). None of those restrictions are in place yet, and I'm not entirely sure how to handle a list of allowed stores yet, but that's what I'd like to do.

It's so dumb and over-complicated but I love it.

Started modelling weapons for my little guy, and finally got WASD+Mouse movement working, with the Animator blending between strafing and backpedaling and such. Now I just need to get the code to recognize which direction the player is strafing and flip the strafing animation

That is pretty good stuff. Is your shader knowledge this advanced or did you follow a tutorial? If yes, please post link.

Dude trust me, I'm in the same situation, due to college draining most all of my funds, and only being able to have a part time job while I attend. It sucks to have to be around people constantly, and have them interrupt the flow of your life, but you have to take some sort of charge in order to get out of it, make a plan, don't be content that things will eventually change.

I gotta say fill the screen, and 16:9 is king nowadays.

Unless you want it super retro then you'd do 4:3

When I decided to do this challenge I want sure how I would go about it. Do I treat it like a "my first game" and do the bare minimum, or make it pretty, and my own.

I've decided it will be an Action RPG. which has led me to a second question.

how long have you been working on your game, I want to estimate how long this will be.

>>162038526
Since 2013

>>162038526
first game = make scope too big, give up

keep the scope small and focus on learning the tools and getting your workflow going

is there a standard order that games are typically developed in that might help me organize what i should focus on first?

i.e. in video editing there is a hierarchy most of the industry uses; picture edit first with stand in audio, picture lock, then it's handed to sound team for mixing/foley/ADR etc

>>162039554
As an indie/amateur, make sure your gameplay is solid before you make art/hire an artist. That said, you should get good at making good placeholder art so people click on your thumbnails and give you feedback.

I actually really like when games do this. At least when it's done well and looks appropriate like in a the cartoony world you had.

I have a game design question for the people here.

How would you develop a game centered around factions in a city and the surrounding area.

A good way to imagine it is you are a noble family in a city state, or anything similiar. You're goal would be trying to control the direction of the city, either by getting elected, having a coup, or other wise. There would be other "entities" in game. These would be companies, military officers, religious people, leaders of large city districts, and anything else. They would have their own interests (just weights on their decision processes) and you would most likely need their support.

As well as you having assets that belong to your family, a mine jsut out side of the city, your family also owns the north gate which most trade comes through, but the peasants in your part of the city are very religous so you have to careful or they may try and get rid of.

Game is sandbox.

What interface would be best for this kind of game?
There would be very light combat, but how would you do it?

>>162040018
>>162039874
yea the 2D was really cute, but I can see how that quality of texturing would be too time consuming

>>162033602
how are you doing textures? Specifically the grass.

>>162040025
total war's map overview comes to mind.

are you wanting to instance combat like Total War does, or keep the whole thing in first person?

I think Mass effect tried some cute shit where when you're in your ship you walk up to your star map and make executive decisions from that interface you activate. Not hard to imagine a paper version of this.

>>162039883
I think you need to stop wasting your time making fanart models and get to work on your game.

>>162040182
Yeah instanced combat.

2D game but total war's overview could still work there.

I imagined two levels of map, one where you saw the whole city, and could click on districts/important objects, and a second map that was a district map where it would look like a top down view of a town and from here you could click buildings to see who owned them, how much money they make, and other stats (if information is open to you).

I think this is fine, but not sure if this is the best way

>>162040025
Your pitch reminds me of The Guild:Europe 1400. The first one in the series is one of my all time favourites, it's seriously comfy. However, the fighting system was seriously shit. The second game made the game world bigger, as in you played in a region of four cities instead of one. While it did many things right, I disliked the Sims-approach of having your character being present in the world and having to wait for the little shit to move somewhere before you can interact.

If you don't know the series, I recommend checking it out.

I still like the idea of a comfy bazaar manager game so I might go back to it when I have more experience. the camera might move to an overhead thing though

>>162040165
the grass is just 3 or 4 layers of spatter with different colors (dark green, green, dry grass yellow, dirt) over a gradient. it's not tiled so it looks a bit better than it should

>>162040224
Ok, but what do you think of the model?

>>162040456
No i haven't but I will, thank a bunch

>>162040565

>>162039874
Are you using mesh colliders?

>>162040025

I'd start developing it as a board game, with the different city locations as places on the board with associated benefits from controlling them as well as a way to show, increase, lower or shift influence on them. Add random events like unrest or outside threats (raiders or even a full-blown siege) and you're good.

The benefit of the computerised version would be the ability to easily have a more dynamic map (some locations aren't on the board unless they are discovered or built; locations can be destroyed) and the presentation.

Don't bother with the combat system until you have the "strategic" level working and fun. The combat can be as easy as "your army size + your strategy skill + d6 vs. enemy army size + enemy strategy skill + d6, the difference reduces the losing army size" until then. Decide how detailed you want to have it afterwards, though I'd probably go with "zooming in" into a round-based tactical battle mode as a preference.

>>162041063
just a bunch of manually arranged box colliders

I'm not sure unity even lets you have dynamic concave mesh colliders

Added a ceiling to the boss arena. Now every phase, there are icicles on the top of the area. As the phases go on, they get longer after the ice block attack hard mode+ exclusive.

Also the boss has a new attack. It only does it on the right side. You can shoot/hit them before they fall down to make them explode early, however sometimes it is best to just let them fall normally. The crystals disappear when the boss moves to the center. Now to fix up its combination attacks.

>>162039874
>2D chars in a 3D environment
Just gotta mesh it perfectly with the style. It worked great in Danganronpa.

>>162041479
Well I'm going to give you the full idea.

This is an idea that I'm toying with, and would like to try after my current game ends, but I just started watching the show that inspired it so I wanted to ask.

Basically the game is around managing/being a managing family inside of a Space Colony Ship.

It's massive with like 10k citizens. Would be a group trying to lead ship on a council of 21. While also trying to do whats best for the ship (if the ship dies you lose) but also whats best for you.

The game would focus on internal struggles like, should we legalize people uploading themselves to compouters to live happily? And then dealing with the consequences of if this did happen, on one hand the people who really hate life would be gone, but you would lose a lot of production. Or allowing people to augment themselves, on one hand more productivity, but the anti-augs would cause problems, and any augmented people that did have a problem with the government would now cause much more damage as a simple brawl turns into a 12 man massacre.

External issues would be like, should we visit this floating glacier and mine ice? Which families get to send miners? Aliens tentacle rape monsters are coming! how to fight them? And if it's a pilot that you sponsored that does well, now you have more political influence. There is a giant mechanical cube floating in space and it has a mass 100 times what it's size would suggest, what do? And then this would trigger events like do you guys have the resources to get in? Whats in there? what do you do with the technology/artifacts you get out of there?

How would you approach this?

Stores now have physics and can be jettisoned.

There's still a lot of stuff to do so that these commands can go through the proper lines of communication rather than me manually overriding them, but the basic mechanics are all getting there.

1) A modified version of your basic ice attack. It does this at the end of an attack string or when it is about to change phases.
2) A modified version of your Down Ice attack, as shown in the webm. It only does it on the right side of the room.
3) A modified version of the scrapped Ice side attack. It has 2 variants depending on if it is in the center of the room or the side. The center version is slower but you can't jump over it normally, while the side variant is shorter but it is much quicker
4) A modified version of your Up ice attack. This also has 2 variants. Center version is quick but goes away quickly, while the side variant is slower but it doesn't go away until the combination string is over.
5) Floor spikes
6) The phase change move that gets longer depending on the phase
7) A giant square spawns over your location. It goes away when the attack combination is over.
8) Hard mode exclusive, ceiling spikes that get longer depending on the phase. They persist until phase change.

It changes positions in the room when it does all the moves on the side of the room it is on once, or you push phases.
