How do i become neet and not end up on streets so i can dev and game all day?

Well, I deved 14 hours today and now its time for bed. It sucks cock though.. game dev consumes so much time, yet the progress is very slow, even though my game is small scoped i will have to kill all my weekends and pretty much all of my free time during the week to if i want to make any considerable progress
I am asking myself if it's really worth it.. game dev is fun, but i could be watching movies or playing games which is even more fun

Depends on your load out I'd imagine. If you're flying with no weapons you can go further on the same amount of fuel. But these fighter guys probably do 8~ hours at most.

The really crazy guys are the B-2/bomber guys, they regularly train for 40 hour missions.

Can game maker's savegame/loadgame functions cause glitches if you change shit and then load a save file?

Had some wacky shit happening in a new room I made when I would load a save file, but when I just started the save file over it seemed to fix it.

>>163024986
A VR co-op platformer, with combat based around the two players moving in sync. The story is about two magical, sentient swords fighting back against their corrupt creator.

A crafting/survival game taken to it's logical extreme. The player(s) must build from the stone age up, either to a magitech age, or a hypertech age, depending on the cointoss in their world gen. Everything is based on real physics. You must strike and forge metal just like in real life, chemical interactions functioning exactly the same as they do here, etc., with trial-and-error being a huge deal. The end game involves the hypertech player finding new blueprints in their journal that they didn't write, leading to the creation of a portal that links them to a magitech world. Meanwhile, the magic faggots have been led to unleash Eldritch horrors upon themselves. Its up to the players if they cooperate or fight each other. Early players might not even realize the other world is the result of PLAYERS, instead believing it to be NPCs in scripted events.

I have more, still interested?

Hey aggydaggy,

So since I can't stand GM's environment and Unity has shit the bed with its new monetary system I decided to start learning C++ since literally every single other engine uses it.

I remember someone here recommended "Jumping into C++" but it's from 2013 and apparently outdated. I also asked /g/ but they said books are for pussies and that the documentation is all I need.

I've messed around in Java/C#/Python/GML before so I've got an understanding of the basics.

Anyone here got any recommendations?

>>163028062

> people just bake lighting to an image instead.

ok, so why did you decide to rather use vertex paint ?

>>163028285
did unity change the price again

Because I'm using tiled textures.
Baking a huge texture file for every level would be kind of stupid, when your actual diffuse textures are all jammed in on a tiny image.

I also like to get that authentic PS1 look.

>>163028439
Right now I'm making a 2d top-down rpg game. I decided to switch to GODOT since its similarity will make the transition from GM:S easier and I find its support of 2d+3d attractive for the crafting system I want to implement.

> Unity has shit the bed with its new monetary system

yeah, it sucks pretty bad.

What it still has going for it though is the fact that you have to make 100k per year BEFORE you have to start paying.

That and the fact that you don't have to learn C++

is my obsession with hentai warping my perception of real intimacy?

>>163028285
Just like use Godot, my man. If your game is 3D you may want to wait for Godot 3.0 to release, because it will have a huge improvement to 3D. But you can start learning it now.

>>163028840
Great game development post!

>>163025617

Unity perverted their own ideal when they realized that big titles and studios are profiting from it.

Remember when all you had to do is pay up to a $1000 licence fee?

>>163028574

couldn't you have sort of a shadow map that you could keep at a relative small size since it contains only relatively simple color info ?

>>163028285
I would try LOVE. I started learning it recently and I like it better than gamemaker.

>>163028824
Is it just me or is the cut pretty reasonable, for 1MAs at least? Unity plus is $420 (ayyyy) per year. Assuming you make exactly enough to need to pay for it ($100,000), that's a .42% cut.

So I've been working on this open source MUGEN-style Smash Bros engine for like three years and I don't think I'm good enough to finish it. It looks like garbage because I can't art and I can't attract any artists because it looks like garbage. The game runs like crap because it's in Python and I'm not good enough to understand a real engine.

Does anyone even want this? If I finished it would anyone even play? I've been posting weekly blog updates and doing dev streams for a year now and have barely broken 3 viewers. Should I even bother anymore? My code base is so unbelievably convoluted I don't even understand it anymore and it's taking weeks to make even slight changes. The framerate is shit on anything but the best hardware and I can't speed it up any more.

Why am I still working on this?

>>163029161

yeah, guess I can't blame them though.

Everything about the B-2 is extremely classified, so no such simulator exists unless you just make a B-2 model with another's aircrafts systems and shit. But then why bother?

There is a live raid over Hanoi involving at least 200 bombers, and probably another 1000 tactical aircraft over Hanoi though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60ihI7VU2OY

>>163027073
For the first? Parkour, melee combat, some puzzle solving.

For the second? The closest comparison would be minecraft or Rust. Staying alive, building and inventing, gathering resources...

>>163029307

it's still the most reasonable model out there desu and that's why I stick with Unity instead of going to UDK.

>>163029191
Nope. I think it would be pixellated as fuck if I didn't make it huge.
This way I get completely smooth shadows and highlights, and I can set colours and intensity any way I like. I can also choose to colour lights and shadows which aren't really realistic, which gives me a lot of artistic freedom to highlight and define what I want.
The drawback is that I have relatively few vertices to work with, and that the colours will "stretch" along all edges connected to the vertices I give colour.
I like it, though.

>>163029161
All software is moving towards a subscription model. I love it because it means I'm getting expensive software for cheap ($10/month for photoshop) but I imagine all the big studios hate not being able to pay outright for software.

>>163029335
JUST

>>163029497
>>163029307

But what about the 5 or so engines that are completely free?

>>163029335
Here's the thing:

1.) This is a pretty spectacular idea. Not that there aren't others doing something similar, but if it's actually open source then I think this could be great, and you could even get some solid Patreon support

2.) You would have to clean up your code base in order to do that. If you've improved over your 3 years it would probably only take about a month, and then your progress would be much better and faster and easier to share

3.) I really want to see AGDG Smash Bros

>>163029607

yes, absolutely, it looks great.

Thanks for answering my questions.

Are you going to be using that model in a game ?

>>163029461
doesn't have to be b2, wasn't there some pretty long fucking missions in ww2?

>>163029731

what engines would those be ?

the reason is probably that you can't do 3d in them.

>>163029842
Thanks!

No problem - I guess it's a bit silly to go to such lengths to recreate what is essentially and "outdated" graphical style, but I just really enjoy it.

>Are you going to be using that model in a game ?
Hopefully, yes, but these are textures ripped from a Spyro game, so I'll have to make my own before I get any further.

I want to try to get funding, but it's hard to get people for excited for some MS paint squares, you know?

And I can't find a way around the framerate issues in Python and I don't know if I can switch engines this late in the game. I definitely think people won't care about this idea in three more years.

Good luck, anon! I always wondered where you went.

im a gamemaker baby but i really want to dive into unity for the sake of learning. ive been spoiled by the simple built in functions in game maker like instance_create.

my question is how do i successfully create a gameobject at runtime specifically at the calling object's location? im trying to use instantiate and use transform.position for the position argument but im getting an error that you cant convery transform to vector 3.

sorry for being retarded

>>163030206
Like I said, I'm pretty confident in your ability to port this to a new engine, even if that means starting over. You difficulty probably came in the form of logic, not code itself. And as you rewrite, you'll catch old code that could be improved, streamlined, genericized. It won't take three years, probably just a few months

Honestly, you will just learn by doing. C++ can be difficult if you don't understand the underlying fundamentals of programming and how code actually """works'""" behind the scenes...but the longer you do it and the more problems you overcome the better you'll get at not just C++ but programming in general.

However, this can be a good place to start:

Being a good developer means being comfortable with layers of abstraction. The alternative is to become obsessed with minor details, demanding to know 100% of what's going on in the engine and API and pre-written scripts for things like vehicles and physics... and never making a game.

transform.position is the transform of the object the script is parented to. what is the script attached to ?

you can instantiate an object at a custom location using a vector 3 if you know where you want it to spawn like so :

Instantiate (ball, new Vector3(0f, 0f, 0f), Quaternion.identity);

true. then make stick figures. even the most artisticly challenged people can do stick figures and if you know how to make juice, they should suffice much better than boxes.

Ok I think I'm being an idiot but I'm having a hard time visualizing how to do game entity serialization using an ECS..

Let's say I've got this file, "Enemies.xml". Is there a way to generically load up an <Enemy> through an id and then create the entity with all of the components listed in that xml without hardcoding looking for those specific components during deserialization?

I just want to be able to have a function like LoadEnemy(string id) which looks up the xml data with that id and creates all the components regardless of if those components are position, sprite, velocity, health, or position, animation, health (examples).

What it seems like now is I have to know what "kind" of enemy i'm looking for, and then create each component by key deliberately. But that doesn't seem right? And I don't want to use reflection.

Don't do what seems right from a real world perspective, do what makes sense for your code. If a missile with thrust set to zero makes a good bomb, fucking do that. There's no sense in making a new class to get the same effect by deleting the thrusters and having mostly duplicated code or some shit.

I don't know that game, what do you got to do fill that red shape?

Why even bother?

I still think this needs one frame where the arms are extended maximum above the head

If by 'vag' you mean 'sweat and dead skin' then yes

hehe

In GMS, I have a little code using irandom_range in the Step event of an NPC. Every copy of that NPC is apparently rolling the same thing every turn. How do I randomize it? I put randomize(); at the beginning of the step event, too.

So, do I keep going with my playable but bad Python version or scrap three years of work and try it in a real engine?

Draw a circle, it turns red and you get a fist. Draw a straight line, it turns blue and you get a sword. Draw an L shape, it turns green and you get a gun.

>>163041985
randomize() probably uses a coarse time measure to set the seed. Thus, every NPC gets the same seed every step if you call it for each of them. Call it once and leave it.

>>163041985
Don't know GameMaker, but do you have to seed the random function? If you are supposed to seed it, but you don't, it will give you the same number each time.

>>163041985
You call randomize() once at the start of the game to set a new seed, not every step.

Yeah, as much as it pains my autism, I think that's the better approach. I tried quickly separating some of the code out, but there's just not as clean a way to do it and it would've gotten messy with inheritance and stuff. It'll bug me to no end though that I have a couple components that I can't get rid of. Maybe I can figure out a way to make them optional for missiles, that way I can at least remove them when not necessary.

Though, renaming the missile component to "Munition" makes me feel a little better about it.

These were supposed to be small bombs, but I think I made them too big. I want to be able to carry at least 3 of these on one pylon.

>>163042696
Or I guess once at the start of every step, but not from every instance.

>>163042712
That kind of looks like a J-20

I'm back for the winter, working on guided missiles and flares.

Also different webm with sound, because I've realized I can synthesize simple noises like the missile launch and lock-on bleeps myself:

alright, the sawed-off works properly now. Although I should probably put a cap on how much physical force you can exert on enemies...

Taking a weekend off on my main project. Still ended up making assets of some sort, so here's a free blob sprite.
