Here's a better delegate raycasting/script teleportation demo. As you can see, you can shoot through the portal from both your side (delegate raycasting), and with the gun on the other side (script teleportation)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gw5sz7I63g

Oh, also worth mentioning:
To get script teleportation all that you have to do is make your script inherit from TeleportableScript, and delegate raycasting is as easy as regular raycasting.

Reposting my question from the other thread
I have been a gamer for a long time and i want to try to make a game now.
Now i did my research and i know i should use the unity engine, but where can i learn about the actual game making process?
Basically i want to make a mmorpg set on an post apocalyptic alien world with all terrain and buildings destructible. the player could also freely move around parkour style like in assassins creed.
now i don't want to make the project too large obviously since i am going to work on it alone, so there won't be any voice acting and the models won't be as realistic as in gta, but simpler like they are in wow.
Can you please give me some starting advice?
Thank you.

First off, learn C#.
Then, make pong in unity.
Then, work from there.
I'm not sure if you understand how fucking crazy in size the project your just proposed is. I've been developing games professionally for 4 years (I don't post my pro stuff here) and that sounds like it'd be a good project for a team of about 4-6 people, two of whom are artists

>>163082650
Here is a good place to start
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/67ef8sbd.aspx
Work hard and may your dreams come true
Develop your idea enough, get good at programming, and you could assemble a team to make that game you want to make one day. Or, any other game. The sky is the limit, especially with cheap VR around the corner. This is a good time to start learning your shit.

Added the basic attack of the fire mode. It has long reach and deals a lot of knockback, but it is pretty slow. It does large singular hits but the Ice weapon's basic attack will probably out damage it if you do full combos with that. At least I hope so.

Attempt 2 at the Firryn Teenager. Added a bit more character to his eyes, added some snow debris. Added some variable thickness to some of the lines to help guide the eyes to points of interest.

Your dream project would take a AAA dev years and millions to pull off decently. You need to think a lot smaller and take MMO out of your vocabulary entirely.

Look up some unity or UT4 tutorials and make a beginner game before you even consider dream games.

it's barely anything so far, but I finally started working on a game so here's my first progress

>>163088237
The eyes look more teenage and thinning the lines made the face look a bit older, but I'm not sure about the size of the nose.
I think also that the eyebrows are really throwing the look of the face with their innocent-bewildered expression. He'd probably look more teenage with a neutral expression like the adult.

>>163088728
Well the innocence/embarrassment is part of the character here, yes. He gets nervous around the protagonist because he thinks Snowcloaks are cool and idolizes them a bit. He isn't sure how to act around them.

There's enough engine features built into modern sourceports that you can do some really wild shit. You'll need to get GLOOME if you intend on making a doom style game and sell it, remember that you'll need to provide your own resource in that case.

SLADE is your doom editor of choice for editing code and such, and ZDoom/GZDoom builder for map making.

Consider peeking into the /vr/ doom threads for advice if you're serious about this

>>163088919
>Well the innocence/embarrassment is part of the character here, yes.
I think your best bet at selling him as a teenager would be with his gangly, awkward body rather than his face then. At the moment you're trying to make a childlike, innocent character look less childlike and innocent, which is probably not what you want to be doing.

take an angle (the smaller the angle the more dense your bullets will be)

for (i = 0; i < 360/angle; i++) {
obj = instance_create(x, y, o_bullet);
obj.direction = i * angle;
}

then make that fire off in spurts, make sure to give your bullet object a speed in its create event, and have the enemy firing the bullets move back and forth and it will automatically generate the pattern

pencils and paper you fucking weirdo

alternatively, chalk, and a bunch of black acrylic paint. you can paint a large surface (or even just one of your walls) with it and it should be hard enough to write on. there's also specific chalkboard paint you can get that's basically black acrylic but with some crushed minerals in it to make it harder and rougher for better drawing on with chalk.

alt alternatively, a large piece of plexiglass. it's not CHEAP but you can find it for free sometimes and a sheet of it isn't exactly pricey and all you have to do is dirll some holes in it to mount it with screws to your wall or w/e. Or you can just leave it free-standing like a peasant

double alternatively, acetate sheets like are used for presentations on overhead projectors. you can write on them with dry erase markers just fine.

When people tell you your game is too hard, 9 times out of 10 it's not too hard, it's just that it's hard in the wrong ways.

alternatively, just use traditional materails and photograph/scan the finished works like a real nigga

>>163093238

it took a while to get used to the nib sliding on plastic/glass

>>163095871

I'm not even surprised anymore that that company is dying.

Though I wonder what the differences between lumberyard and cryengine are.

>>163095938
>just use traditional materails and photograph/scan the finished works like a real nigga

even if this is supposed to be an early boss, it looks waaaaay too easy. myself, i'd personally remove the tells on the ground where the projectiles land. the 3d is done well enough that a smart player can avoid them, and maybe make the fight a little faster. it looks a little too slow in my opinion.

Finally added in the long overdue support for multiple weapons. You can now cycle between all weapon types on the ship, along with a total ammo count and name given on the HUD.

I also added an alpha number to the HUD so that you have another thing reminding you of how far off your weapons are going to be when you launch them. They all inherit your velocity, so the smaller your alpha, the more range and accuracy you're going to get out of them because they have to expend less energy correcting for it.

Loadout in the webm is:
>2 missiles
>1 medium dumb bomb
>2 small guided bombs

All the ammo counts are multiplied by 3 because every launcher has 3 reloads at the moment.

That's the difficult part. You need to figure out how you will prevent seams from occurring at LoD boundaries. This is easy with dual contouring, for one, but not with plain old marching cubes.

Ok I understand it all
Danny IS making a game, he wont post it because he actually believes that people "associated" with this place are harmed
That's why he gets so upset when called out for shitposting, it associates the game he thinks will get finished with this place

Clever but you have no reputation to uphold, post the game ok?

>>163102635
Where is your game?

>>163102634
Then it's time to start setting aside money for someone who does -- or time to cut out whatever it is that's necessitating the move to Unity.

>>163102692
Depends on Zimmer's mood, his feeling of your product, how much you've already put time into finding music, how close you are to needign to launch, and whether or not you're willing to pay lots of money and/or know friends of his. Also, his schedule to a degree.

Why is it whenever I look up tips on modelling characters, people always make a high poly model and then use that as a template for a low poly model they will actually use in game. Wouldn't it be more efficient to start with the low poly model?

Came up with a name for my game, it is pretty shitty but I'll change it later.
I also decided that I'll go with neon/80s miami/fingerless gloves aesthetic for the UI and ambience.

I'll probably change it to something else, but setting the name and theme suddenly helped me figure out how I want most of the UI to look and behave, so I'm quite happy with that.

>>163104057
Because the low poly model is the easily changed, less 'perfect' one.
You make your high poly one to look just the way you want, and base the low poly on that.

Doing it the other way round restricts how much you're able to change, the type of details you can add etc

Additionally many find sculpting humans to be faster than polygonally modelling them, so that's how they start.

>>163104057
You create a normal map from the high poly model to then apply to the low poly model. Thus you get a model that will look detailed but be more efficient to render.

1)normal maps
2)sculpting is a more natural workflow for organic forms

>>163104464
I feel like there is something I am missing in regards to sculpting, as everything I look at has people doing it. But I just feel like it would take so long to set up the base model to sculpt from and having to plan out the polygons beforehand so that it doesn't look like ass when you deform it with sculpting tools that just doing it with polygons in the first place is more efficient.

do you also think sketching an image of your character before modelling it is also a waste? probably not. for some sculpting is just 3d sketching. also normal maps --require-- a high poly model

>>163104509
not bad anon. Thanks for the suggestion. I want something that is not an obvious description of what the game is about, that's why I'll replace it later.

Can someone explain how can I replicate a node in Godot's 2.2 networking?

But he didn't ask why the high poly one exists, he asked why you do it first.

You could do the low one first, but then >>163104464

>>163105214
I'm not 100% on this, but I think there's a globally available method called var2string or something, with which you should be able to get a complete object as sendable data. On the client you can then do str2var. Again, not 100% sure.

>>163105502
>networking by serializing to textual data and sending it back and forth
Disgusting.

give me your game ideas please

>>163104057
the differentiation is meaningless when you can go up and down in subdivisions, sculpts usually start as low poly blockouts you add resolution to anyways

>>163105632
You can always come up with your own methods. It's not like you're forced to do it this way.

You want progress? Have some reposted progress.

Colony manager: with, or without a "general" type unit?

As a player, you control a guy, who is like 2 or 3x stronger than other characters in your colony.
Once you're in range of someone, you can give him orders, check their inventory, the usual stuff.
Same with giving work orders to build something...
Also the advantage is that you can also build it yourself, or take 3 guys with you and tell them to do what you're doing, and then they will copy the same task that you're doing.
Either this, or the regular way, DF, rimworld, etc...

Finally progress for Saigo no Shinwa!

That, my friends, is a rework of both the magic system and how I though the game.
Since the fights aren't gonna be a big part of the game, the game will be played half with the arrows key and half with the mouse, because there's no need of going fast.

Here's the thing:
-once the player gained enough of something (for exemple if he collect enough inspiration or some object) he gain a pin.
-a pin can collect inspiration or use a spell repetitivelly.
-here the inspiration is pretty easy to take, but some spell not meant to be used repetitively will cost a lot of them.

In order not to repeat the errors I made at first, I work a lot on paper instead of starting deving before I even know what I want to make.

During next week I'll probably send update about the game overall instead of the magic system. Basically once I've finished the new "text bubbles" system.

well as far as i know 2.5d is basically 2d with the third dimension only implied.
Both should work, it depends on how you want to achieve 2.5D.
My game is also 2.5D. I use 3D assets and 3D physics but everything just moves in two axis.
If you want to use 2D assets in your game, 2D physics is the way to go.

Is it possible to create a TCG ? (trading card game)
I mean, could it be sucessful and get on steam for instance? it seems like it doesn't require tons of art

To continue learning Godot I am reimplementing an old puzzle idea I made before.
Today I refactored everything to a better system I hope.
I am too dumb for this stuff.

My question is, when I have a sprite rotated by a right angle is there an easy way to only show a certain rectangle out of it? I don't want to draw over it or use shaders/alpha. I have a solution using some annoying calculations with the sprite rect but it seems stupid. Also I didn't want to use a textured quad although that would be easier working with UVs, I would like to use sprite

TCGs require a lot of fucking art and good art at that.

>>163109386
Or is a sprite just a textured quad anyway in terms of the rendering? What about performance?

what the fuck are you gonna put on your cards?

>>163109341
TCG is what would need the more quality art.
Maybe not as much art as some game, but the art needs to be really good, so it's not a good plan.

i want to fuck this tile

mental illness is a hell of a drug

>>163109459
but the art can be done once 100% of the game mechanics and so on are done
you can't do that with a retro platformer

>what are placeholders

>>163109585
R34 for the win?

>>163109780
you can't do placeholder art when the whole game is art and requires precise placement of sprites etc
whereas for a TCG it's just square images that you can always redo

How hard is it to do a vaporwave game?

well image a 2D game like Sonic, and suddently you decide that he has to wear different kind of shoes
enjoy redoing all your sprites so that it works

It's just really hard to keep a consistency tone, just look at fake pokemon sprites, it always look like shit

What the fuck are you talking about? How does this relate to placeholders?

relatively easy because no-one will shit themselves if you use gradients, checkered textures and other simple stuff
but only relatively i guess
