I never said """"""gamers""""""".
I just said the unfortunate people that bought his game without either watching gameplay or reading reviews.

And I did?
He's a better modeler than a game maker. You aren't immune to crit just because you publish anything. I really hate this gold-star mentality among /agdg/.

as someone who has games and has been interviewed by Anthony "glad im not" Burch i take offense.

>>163401867
I'm going to randomly choose between having the engines in the OP and not having them in the OP, switch it up every now and then. This way I trigger people on both sides of the debate.

>>163402073
>4+ years
This is false.
I had just started posting on /agdg/ when the engines and resources were added to the OP, and that was about 1.5 years ago. In fact the engines were being forced into the OP for like a month or so, the OP would make the threads early to make sure they were kept in the OP. People argued about it just like they do now, some saying it's bloated and wanting the old slim OP.
That OP was bloated though, and was eventually trimmed down to what we've been using for the past year.

I'm going to eventually transition to Godot (even if Godot uses a proprietary language I figure having a solid grounding in an actual language isn't a bad thing) and then see where that takes me.

Feels better than the 5+ years I spent as a nodev shitposter, I can tell you that much.

I can't believe I was ever intimidated by Unity. I think I'm really starting to get the hang of it. Already managed to convert most of TUSSLE's physics engine to it. Next comes animations, then seeing if I can reconcile the XML custom character scripts from Python to Unity.

I'm nearing the end of my intro courses for C++ (68% complete or something) and I'm extremely comfortable with UE4 (probably over 100 hours of tutorials on the editor).

Actual prototyping begins soon on a game I've been thinking about for 18 months.... So ready to tell people I've actually started.

I'm 25 in a few months and I never finished a game (I'm pretty sure I'll finish the one I'm working on though).
While we are at it, I'm also a virgin, have literally no friends nor have had a gf or had a female I talk to since highschool.
Depression hits me so hard sometimes that I have to stop coding and can't do anything or play a game for several hours.

>>163403735
i'm learning C# with unity at the moment
haven't actually programmed before (apart from aforementioned flash actionscript)
I actually come from a music and art background and it's pretty hard putting these aside to do gameplay, but i think i'll get by since programming is really fun

>>163403432
That's unfortunate man, you'll never be able to optimize as well as you could with your own engine.

>>163404240
>programming is really fun
The biggest myth in the world is that programming is boring and hard. While it can be both, like any skill if you understand the basics (which is really all you need to get started) it's tons of fun thinking of stuff you want your computer to do and realize "Oh hey, I can do that!".

It's like having a big ol box of Legos.

No one's gonna get hype for a game with only a square as the playable character.

Also it makes me feel like I'm giving back. /agdg/ has always been there to get my ass in gear whenever I lose motivation or focus.

I was a retard who majored in vidya and now my only hope is selling indieshit because I'm in NJ. But sometimes I feel like I'm putting all my eggs in one basket. Think of all the shovelware I could have pumped out instead of trying to perfect my one shitgame that I'll never finish.

Targeting now works correctly with the new radar, and with the HUD. Target boxes appear and disappear when based on whatever is in the visible targets list, and targeting now works correctly works within that visible targets list so you can only target/lock things that you can see.

Thank you. I took AP Computer programming back in HS but that was nothing.

Yes, it will be. It's also my dream game, and has massive scope. I know this will probably stretch years beyond my expectation, but I can't imagine foregoing social life/leisure for anything less.

Spent years in the oil/refinery industry making bank and putting it away for this. Bought house, bought car, paid off both. Quit to pursue this fantasy of mine (though a job is waiting for me back there if I ever decide this will not work out). Only expenses are utilities, internet, food and dog food. I don't drive often so gas is a once a month thing basically.

And finally, locking is working again. What a ride. It doesn't look any different than it did when I started, but this is now an expandable system that can be used for AI and anything.

actually, I want to get people's opinion on this.

I want to refine my scope from massive down to large. this isn't the full voice-acted MMORPG or anything.

Let me explain my scope, briefly, and please tell me how long you think it will take or if you think I'm just screwed.

I'm making an online multiplayer combat game (can't go into details) with a very intricate player controller, movement and attack options. I want AAA or AA quality models and animations (hard body, no organic matter), AA quality sound effects and music, A quality VFX. (I know it doesn't just go to double A I'm just saying).

Here's my status: I work full time with generous vacation. My partner is a very driven modeler who's responsible for textures and animations. Do you think we can do it?

It's not really meant to look cohesive, it's meant to have hundreds of disparate characters.

Also I've actually started to like this little square. I think he's a perfectly fine mascot, especially since now that I have real physics I can finally give him the Ryu-style headband I always wanted him to have.

I'm hoping to have something by the next demo day, but considering I'm very likely about to lose a week of potential progress because I'll be out of town, I probably won't be able to meet my initial plans for the demo, but I'll definitely have something to download.

Thinking about demo day though reminds me that I have no good mouse controls yet. Right now it's designed (mostly) around a gamepad.

>>163407824
Yeah. I'm thinking like Frozen Synapse but with much simpler movement. Current plan is one straight line move plus one attack per turn, with some different skills that have turn-based cooldowns.

There's really not much data to a character with all of the abstraction I've put in. There's a bunch of pre-defined base actions that have all of the functionality, and it's basically just passing it an animation, some hitbox data, and a few manual overrides. Zero is made entirely in XML, and he's got some pretty unique mechanics, like his element swapping and charge shots.

If you don't like it, TUSSLE also supports fully realized character code. XML is pretty much just for the visual character builder, it's not expected to be done by hand.

>>163405465
By the way, I'm not sure what to name this one. Any ideas?

>XML is pretty much just for the visual character builder, it's not expected to be done by hand.

Spent a bunch of time yesterday trying to devise a way to do this orbit MMO style camera that when you mousewheel in goes to an over the shoulder view, and got it to this.

I was about to add smoothing when I realized a simpler way to do it would be to have an array of stored camera positions relative to the character, and player mousewheel input could cycle along that index. Then I could smooth between those position, and have a switch statement for each type of camera control.

But thats a TODO while this is functional enough, now I have to figure out how I want to implement shooting and melee combats.

I think it's good. Better than anything I could make. All I'm saying is I think you're selling yourself short and I think you could pick up programming and develop something on your own if you wanted, even just as a hobby only. You wouldn't have to rely on shitheads to get things going.

Not really, when even adding something as simple as a health system takes you 500 fucking lines of code.

The only thing I don't really like about it is the huge visual mess of objects I need to see in the hierarchy because video games have a billion moving parts and my OCD wants everything to be simple and clean and not buried under fifteen subfolders and game objects.

Dear squaredev

I edited the eye on the right (her left eye) in Gimp and just softened up that PureBlack™ outline around the eye and extended the blue a little outwards.

The black looks nice for the eyelash but just seems a little harsh to me for the outline.

Anyway, just my opinion.

>>163412135
simple things will be harder because of c# verboseness. harder things will be POSSIBLE because you are using a real programming language

one reason why so many of the hit indies games came out of gamemaker is that it restricts you to small scope and easily coded gameplay

>>163412153
>Which part are you finding complicated?
So far I find the coding overly complicated.
It's like you have to set up everything first and create components for speed values, health values, etc, which takes hundret lines of code, while in GM you can do this in 2 lines of code.

>>163412321
were you using the built-in gamemaker variables for that?

>>163412280
You can do anything you want with Gamemaker. It just has to be a 2d game (not sure about 3d in GM).

Anyone here get their games on PS4/XB1?

>>163412591
Well at least the same you can do in Unity. In Unity you just can do 3D too (or better).

Anyone here good with writing unity shaders? I only have a small idea how to implement transparency but not in this syntax.

>>163412661
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
Destroy(collision.gameObject);
}

just as simple m8

>>163412753
I do, but usually I copy paste a working shader, then remove bits until it's the minimum that I need. There's a lot of boilerplate and predefined functions that you need, so its best to start with something that works

>>163412681

Calm down doctor, now's not the time for fear. That comes later.

Yea, i was starting with one from unity3ds examples, but they are basic unlit, uvmap with vertex colors multiplied in. I just need transparency and im golden, but not sure how to implement alpha tests. Google has been suckish

>>163412753
>>163412879

Do you need Unity Pro to make your own shaders or can you do it with personnel edition too ?

>>163413142
are you using it for sprites or 3d? I have some really basic one for sprites written somewhere. I think the key is in the tags and all the shit before the actual shader code

>>163413182
I assume you could do it in any version, but im using pro. It's just a .shader file you drag and drop into assets.

>>163412901
that's pretty good

>>163413182
unity pro / personal is the same program with the same feature set now. the only difference is how much you pay

>>163413279
3D.

>>163413394
does your example have something like this:
Tags{ "Queue" = "Transparent" "IgnoreProjector" = "True" "RenderType" = "Transparent" }?

in the actual fragment shader all I do is set the alpha, and I think the transparent queue does the work

>>163413303
>>163413351

cool thanks. iv'e been thinking of messing around with shaders too.
i guess i should rather work to finish my prototype though and then get my assets done and see what they look like first though.

In GMS, how could I measure the distance an object moves? I was thinking of a hacky way like using grid objects and ticking them off as the player passes them, but I'm sure there's something better.

>>163412901
How'd you make the hair? Also post wireframe

check x,y position before moving

check x,y, position at time you want to measure and subtract

why do pawns have to be such special snowflakes? they're the only piece with 3 snowflake rules. they can only take other pieces using a move that's different from their standard move, the can move twice their usual distance if it's their first move and, they can become a different piece if they make it to the end of the board. chess would be such a breeze to make if it wasn't for pawns.

I'm going to stay awake until I get this shader working.

>>163413678
You forgot En Passant.

>>163413581
the distance an object moves? store its x and y, next frame take its new x and y, use point_distance to measure the distance between them, do that every frame and total the result if you're gonna measure distance across more than two frames

really easy stuff honestly, might wanna familiarize yourself with the basic functions

At worse this could be the later stages of dvt, which would mean I'm already mostly fucked as there would then be clots riddled throughout my body.
If this is the case I'm legit not gonna make it.

I did the tutorials, read the manual, looked at all the examples. But you just need to get some experience with it. What was a problem for me initially is that there are a lot of different ways to do things. You can make a game in pure code or, for some games, almost entirely in the editor, so it's really up to you how you use it. You could use the instancing a lot or barely at all. And you need some experience with different approaches to be able to judge which way would be best suited for you particular endeavors. At least that's my impression so far

im considering creating a dynamic blur for fast moving bullets like these so a 60fps screen doesnt distort it into looking like multiple bullets like this

maybe by always drawing the bullet twice, one as a solid color stretching between the previous and the current position, and the other as a gradiant to clear that matches where the solid sprite was during the last frame

are there any tools for making pixel art/low poly assets quickly?

Could I run it on my netbook?

Holy shit anon, that's awesome

How do I make a camera?

>>163428949
Thanks.

I had to do that because I ran into the issues of managing different animations for each new weapon I was adding.
Right now I have the sword, axe, spear, and the funky throwable ones I've posted in my old webm.

I think I can actually start to add some more enemies and play around.
All that will be left after is just tweaking what exists, like the map generation, adding new blocks and stuff. Mostly the "fun-only" parts.

So how do you generate a maze that's actually solvable?
Do you just keep bruteforcing by regenerating until a pathfinding algorithm can trace it from start to the end or are there some maze algorithms that'll guarantee it?

time to lose all my dignity and make a mobile game

>Do you just keep bruteforcing by regenerating until [an algorithm] can [solve it]
this is never the correct way to program anything

>>163429863
Build the correct path first and then add random paths around it

>>163429863
look up prims algorithm

>>163429879
you wont make any money, so if that's your reason for doing it, don't bother

Myself, I have each stat doing exactly one thing with no derived stats. I'll go ahead and list em since it may be somewhat hard to tell what they are.

Vitality: Increases max HP.
Wisdom: Increases max MP.
Stamina: Increases max SP.
Constitution: Increases HP regen.
Fortitude: Increases MP regen.
Mettle: Increases SP regen.
Strength: Increases damage when used by weapons that use strength.
Defense: Reduces damage from physical elements.
Intelligence: Increases damage when used by weapons that use intelligence, also increases the damage of all non-physical magic.
Resilience: Reduces damage from magical elements.
Speed: How fast you can move.
Accuracy: Increases your chance of hitting the opponent instead of nicking him.
Evade: Increases your chance of getting a nick when you're hit, which lowers your damage received.
Luck: Increases critical chance and critical defense.

Most of these things your stats wind out being derived into, but having them in standalone states is more interesting to me, as you can have something like a character with super low MP, but his INT is through the roof.

Now, I can't reply to anything as I'm getting ready to go to work, but I hope that helped in the slightest. Good luck, fellow RPGbro.

In Godot is there a preferred way for passing built-in types as reference?

Right now I made a stub class that is just "Class ref: var v", then I can pass an instance of that class and derefence with inst.v. Is that the way to do it?

Progress:
All obstacles have placeholder assets.
I'll start working on the main character now.

he looks like such a happy ol farting cube

Why is every piece of vector art so shit

Like have I just been seeing inexperienced people's art or is vector art just doomed to always be crap

>>163426325
There's different ways to manage them, depending on the sort of game you're making and how they're going to be used.

A stat manager would be the easiest way I guess, though I reckon you can also just use maps,dictionaries or data tables.

So you can have say
{
"str" : 10,
"mresist" : 15,
"fresist" : 30.
}

And then have a function called GetFireResist(), which will search through the structure for the "fresist" key and return its value every time a character gets hit with fire damage.
You can also have a function called GetIceResist() which will return 0 since it can't find "iresist" in the dictionary.

An advantage of this method would be flexibility, you can easily add new stats or remove old ones without affecting anything in the system since every stat is independent and just a key for a value. (As opposed to being hard-coded variables)

Also cute ahoge.

maybe i'll keep him as a secret character

>>163431334
it must be a limiting medium because all of the art is quite samey

>>163431836
Newgrounds had good art in its good flash movies, so I know it's not impossible

>>163432086
higher framerates make the faults of vector animation more apparent

>>163432335
What happens then? Can't the points keep up or something?

>>163432376
increasing framerate without increasing the number of keyframes makes tweening look worse

>>163412901
you should make SFM porn

>>163432529
Wouldn't interpolation help with that? At least with modular animation, what I'm planning to use

>>163410182
start with 2d, gamemaker that is, it's really easy, the syntax is almost nonexistant so you don't have to memorise shit, if you forget anything, you can just middle click and search for what you want.
it's really simple, i have no experience in a "normal" language(except pascal in school lul) but it's really simple.

>>163410182
Become a programmer, it's the most important thing in game-making and employers will tear you apart to employ you because of the lack of IT workers, so if you didn't make it in game design, at least you'll be able to eat at the end of the month

Is it wrong to want to make a game just so people praise you for it?
