Never really used git before, easier to use than I thought. I'm sure there's probably more advanced features for pro users, but it's basically just a couple of commands, a commit message, and you're done. Can just bind all to a hotkey.

>>163624306
the point is that just "because anything you draw is going to become a raster file" (which it won't necessarily that's no reason to use non-vector programs to draw vector images

vector drawing isn't an art style, it's a technology

>>163624298

>>163624182
Ultimately your GPU only understands arrays of pixel color data, all your vector art is doing is putting strain on your CPU to convert it into just-in-time raster images.

taken out of context sure, but normally for games you just draw using vectors and export at a fixed resolution, unless you are in flash or other vector engine.

It seems like a huge amount of classes to balance, you'll end up frustrated.
I'd recomment you start with the 3 inner classes and forget about the rest until you have the entire game nailed down.

>>163625486
Yes.

>>163625259
It's like you just realized that a GPU is ultimately taking a bunch of models and textures and generating a 2d raster image from it that gets displayed on your monitor. Congrats on adding a software rasterization step to that where you CPU has to convert your svg to something you GPU can make sense of.

>>163625482
What the fuck is that? Is that fucking gmod?

>>163625550
My point is that the GPU can be used for rasterization of SVG in the first place. Though I'm being pedantic, and agree that vectors are only good as an intermediate format and should be rasterized before distribution as game assets.

>>163625290
I am, and I'm doing exactly that. But classes are smaller than you think due to how the game is broken into skillsets. I can go into details on that if you want, but characters are very customizable, and classes are generally suggestions and not hard rules.

I will never make a game.

Will never get good at art.

Should just quit.

>>163625667
No it can't, that's stupid. No consumer GPU has support for vector graphics. The CPU has to rasterize them first.

Reminder. Don't be a nodev, fun awaits you.

Is there a simple way in Unity to swap out a Sprite Sheet at runtime in an animation but keep everything else (timings, transitions, etc.) the same?

Every way I can find is basically building up a temporary animation object and using that, but at that point I might as well not even bother with the built in animator and just manually animate it old school style.

>>163626454

I hope you see this from last thread anon, I don't know what the current class grants your character as you already stated that stats are also derived from character level, so if the classes represent tweaks to those stats and class specific abilities then the hybrid classes should feel like slightly weaker versions of the pure classes that are needed to unlock them, but convey the benefit of access to both types of abilities.

The Advanced classes should then feel like empowered versions of the class needed to unlock it, at the lack of flexibility offered by the skills, giving the choice of which class to use based on real consideration by the player. Making victory feel more worthwhile because you did it with the class that you choose to use.

That's kind of what that other anon was raging about without ever getting around to pointing that out.

What is the proper way to blend story and game play together?

As I see you either have an actual game where you just make up some purpose so the player keeps on going, or make a visual novel. I'm not fan of either approaches. The first one just have that "long page turn" feeling, especially in RPGs where usually only the boss fight is really fun and challenging, and the second is often called interactive storytelling, which also puzzles me, since the most interactivity I get is that I'm pressing enter instead of turning a page with my hand, so it'll fall flat on the game play part.

What my main problem is: the story is either just porn level, but as a game, it would be 100% functional with cubes, or the story is so good that it could be its own thing, it could be a standalone product, a book, and game play just drags it.

Are there any good examples, where you said: "yes, this story could only be told trough the media of video games"?

Bokudev here just wanted to let everyone know a "Pre Demo day 12" demo for bokube was just release on the itch page. This has alot more polish, performance enhancements, better fully rotational camera control, and more. (Try the xbox gamepad controls if you have one)

The optional VR/Htc Vive mode was also uploaded so the 3 of you here I know of who have vives can try it.

If I can get some feedback on this demo version soon that would be great so I can give it further polish/fixes.

I'm here anon. I'm actually cooking, but I don't want you to think your work has gone to waste. I'll address you in a bit.

>>163626918
>What is the proper way to blend story and game play together?

The way that games like Thomas Was Alone and Dead Money DLC did it -- have game mechanics tie in to the emotion or symbolism of the narrative. So like in Dead Money, to get to Dean you have to go slowly through a corridor of traps and disable them, etc. And when you meet Dog, he's in a literal cage you have to break him out of, which mirrors his arc where you have to help God realize he doesn't have to be Dog anymore.

>>163626918
Really, you just have to make it seem like the story is the result of the player's actions (at least in part) and not something that was predetermined.

Good example: Metroid Fusion. For a good deal of the game you are forced a linear path because of what Adam authorizes you to do. It seems like story getting in the way of gameplay at first. But there are points where you have to undermine that authority, and even though they are scripted, it makes the player feel like they are in control.

It would be a better game if it had more circumstances like this but to be fair it would be a lot of work to do all the dialogue and stuff and to make sure they cover all the possible sequence breaks (they do acknowledge a couple in the game, though, which is cool).

>>163626701
Okay, food done. First off, I gotta say that chart is super nice, what did you use to make it?

Anyways, classes do provide tweaks to your class, a % tweak. So Mages may get 70% STR, whereas berserkers get 130%. While as a general rule the stats for hybrid classes are slightly weaker, their total stats still add up to the same, but because they're more spread out, having multiple strengths gives them multiple weaknesses as well.

The advanced classes are mostly empowered versons of their base classed with greater strengths and weaknesses. The only exception to this is thief, which is a tricky class instead. There is still reason to play the more balanced class, as I want all of them, even novice, to be endgame viable.

As for the advanced hybrid classes, I was considering such a thing but not for this game. It would be for a sequel. I have PLENTY of classes to work with as is.

Did I miss anything?

Wow you're doing your post-image-you-made-and-then-samefag-mock-disugst shtick even on Christmas.

Basically it's so you can have multiple non-related classes do the same thing. Take IDrawable for instance, an interface that say you can draw it. You can take a list of IDrawable objects and then just tell them all to draw. They don't have to be the same class, just the same interface. Generally, you're not going to use interfaces a lot but it's nice when you need them.

>>163630835
Sounds like it was outdated or something.

>>163631283
You have an enemy, and you have a destructible box.
You create an interface which contains a 'takeDamage' function, and you have both of those classes implement this interface, along with any others that need it.

Now when your player character swings their sword, anything the sword collides with has this takeDamage function called on it.
You don't need to check the class of the object you hit, you don't need to call that specific class's version of that function, you just call it indiscriminately with the interface, and each of those classes is then responsible for reacting in an appropriate way (e.g. getting hurt, getting destroyed)

while ( SDL_PollEvent( &m_NewEvent ) )
{
doShit();
}

It can be an if statement as well if you're nesting it within your gameloop.

ok well, i think i got it "working" now, but it's taking input as if you were typing (like, when you hold down a key, it takes the first input, waits a sec, then takes in the rest at a fixed pace)
is this an SDL limitation or is there a way to change how it receives/gives input?

Part of it is that they need the player object for a target that they get. The weird thing though that I haven't managed to fix is that they don't look at their target location for some reason.

Come now, really? Just create your own FBX model loader (or DAE I prefer because its easier to parse). Make sure to render said model using OpenGL display lists. Display Lists gives you a giant (and I mean GIANT) fucking performance boost.

It's amazing to do it from the ground up with OpenGL because you have free reign over how things are optimized. Dynamic texture compression and Quadric Error Metrics (model triangles/polygon dynamic decimation/reconditioning).

Do you really think employers value someone that knows how to make a game using point and click bullshit to either render or create events/functionality? I sure as fuck wouldn't hire you if those were your credentials.

As a NEET, I wouldn't buy your game either if you trying to be an indiecuck.

I will, if from the ground up. Not from fucking pre-made tools. I'm not a little faggot baby like you pieces of shit.

In Java:
>Random random = new Random();
>int rand = random.nextInt(2);
>while (rand == index){ // this is so that it doesn't pick the same number over and over

index is an int, it's either 0, 1, or 2. When this code runs, index is ALWAYS equal to 1. What's up with that?

>>163639213

If it matters, index is 0 before this code is run, and I also tried making the random object a member variable (instead of local, so that it doesn't get created with the same seed over and over), but it still picks 1 every time.

I keep seeing all this hate on engine dev. Why? What about those of us whom are planning release on devices that have no in place dev environments, or code only environments?

My policy on dev will always be
1. Plan the game (art style, genre, etc)
2. Write the game (can include drawing crude maps, etc)
3. Concept art
4. What ado about engine (decide on engine [if exists] or engine dev)
5. Game dev
6. Name Game
7. Promotion
8. Testing
9. Fixing
10. Repeat 7&8 till fixed
11. Find publisher/manufacturer
12. Sell game
13. Fix bug(s) that went undiscovered

I'll be completely honest, im currently in step 2 with my game. As such i have no art or anything to show.

I do know however that one of my target platforms has only code based tools (publicly) available, and thus I'll have to engine dev

Is the space flight sim guy here?

you shouldn't spend much time on writing without having a game to begin with. by the time you actually get halfway into devving, your plan will have changed drastically.

Flowchart anon here, just got back from some holiday stuff, if you search flowchart through google, the second or third link should be for draw.io which is what I like to use for flowcharts because it saves nicely with google drive.

I see what you're doing, the class is sort of like a full character piece of equipment in that it buffs some stats but lowers some, and the hybrids are just slightly more even distributions to those tweaks.

Seems neat, I made that chart as I felt a good progression might be. I hope that it has either given you some inspiration or reinforced your position on the existing class progression you want your game to have.

>>163648864
I felt pretty good about it before, but I appreciate the vote of confidence. Classes are basically a piece of equipment, yeah. They determine what you can equip by default (although you can break that partially), they give a couple techniques, and a bunch of passives. Most of your techniques come from your skillsets which you level up through actually playing the game.

Just because it is small doesn't mean coding is easier.
Art just takes more time, but you can always implement your ideas with it. It just either has good or less good quality.

But with coding the thing is, that you easily can come to a point where you just can't find a solution and then you have to forget the idea.

>>163654512
Sorry but that punching stance is less than ideal. Legs spread with knees turned inward? The upper torso and especially the punching arm's shoulder needs to move forward with the punch.

If I want to make a camera flyby, kinda like in a cutscene, but at the same time still want the player controllable on a 2D plane (it's a 2.5d game), would I have to attach the camera to the player or how do i have to do this?

I mean the view on the player must always be the same. It's just the scene/background which gets a flyby.

Just imagine a top down shooter (a shmup) with 3d background.
While you play the game, the camera does cool flybys from the background, instead of just scrolling upwards or whatever.

Basically like the camera movement in a cutscene, except that you still play the game meanwhile.

I propose the alternate approach: if you have a few mechanics in mind that you want to implement, program them first to see if they even work. if they do, then formulate the story, setting, and the scope of the game you want to make. If you're choosing a genre to work in thinking that it worked well for your favorite game then consider this: chances are that large, resource-rich companies full of experienced developers make games in that genre and regularly fail at making a good game (cf. Blizzard, Bethesda, Bioware). Unless the genre entails a small scope, making a game in a certain genre is much more difficult than you anticipate.

Furthermore, If you look at the most successful indie games, they take a minimal set of mechanics (I mean mechanics in the most general possible sense here), and the rest of the game is designed around those mechanics. This is true of minecraft, undertale, shovel knight, FNAF, edmund mcmillen's games, spelunky, terraria etc.. note that the story and setting are simple and easily interchangeable in these games, and only really serve to justify the core mechanics.

My point is this: the game mechanics that you can reasonably implement well should define your scope, not the other way around. you can easily change the scope, but creating the technology to accommodate the scope is hard.

Of course... Well, I just never tried doing this with a real 3d background.

>>163657979
how can you even ask that?

>>163658715
I have no experience with 3d. I imagine it being quite complicated to move a whole 3d scene around the player. You even have to move the skybox, everything.

If you can move a pebble, you can move a mountain.

modern engines make it incredibly easy and painless

>>163658942
in unity, it's would be as easy as making your gameobjects children of your camera in the hierarchy and then running your game with localposition and localrotation instead of how you'd usually run it

>>163659062
Wait, so you mean I have to move the camera now? Or was this just an example of the other way?
How do I have to do this in Unity?

The Christmas hats are on. Nice

I actually disagree with this. The input lag issue is a legitimate concern but the punch feels weightless. Having a frame or two of startup is generally fine and makes the thing look more convincing, unless it's a fighter. If you're really concerned make the player invincible during startup so it doesn't seem like a weakness

Besides, players will get used to whatever system is in place

>>163658942
how do you solve seamlessly looping the 3d environment though?
i could see doing it by using two copies of the geo and authoring it for them to line up perfectly but that seems kind of a pain still

There are people in this tread who actually believe this

>>163659893
To an extent it's quite true

People who play strength builds in Dark Souls don't think the anticipation of winding up a big sword attack is input lag. It's just the natural feel of a big attack, and if they play for 5 minutes then theyll know the timing

yes. you'd move the camera through your cutscene as you normally would. since the "game" is a child of the camera and since you're using localposition to move your stuff around, it just works. you can fly and rotate your camera over some scene while your game remains unaffected.

>>163659734
I guess I don't have a strong opinion on this because it depends on how fast the design calls for the attack to be vs how much power you want to convey. A startup would go between the first two frames so the image is still a useful reference I think. I'm not so good at animation though.

Imo his tutorials are becoming increasingly lacking in punch.

>>163660020
Did you just build this yourself?
You are a fucking genius man! Thanks a bunch :3!

I get it but i believe that an Indie game has to feel satisfying. Players attention is lost too quickly.

Yeah, sometimes he goes into game and character design, which I feel are far less helpful than his pure fundamentals. I kinda want to become a patron so I can vote, plus I love his stuff

>>163660343
Yeah but anticipation IS satisfying. Take Clarent. The big sword hits are satisfying and feel good, but there is plenty of anticipation, which the viewer expects. Pic related is mine, it's not perfect by any means, but I think it would feel a lot shittier if it went from rest to full extension (it's a little faster in game which helps too)

Dont listen to them! Keep that punch! Give it insane destructive force instead.

>I kinda want to become a patron so I can vote
He opened the vote to non-patrons for christmas. Result for the next gif is "Handling complex/long animations".

>sometimes he goes into game and character design, which I feel are far less helpful than his pure fundamentals
Agreed. One time he's doing really good stuff like his fire tutorial, then he posts shit like "difficulty progression". What the hell?

>>163660836
>he's doing really good stuff like his fire tutorial, then he posts shit like "difficulty progression"
Yeah. I don't begrudge him those though. While I (and probably a ton of people) know him for his pixel art skills and tutorials, he also does games and counts that as a part of his skills, even though its less public. So he probably feels obligated or wants to balance those two. There's still always useful tidbits to learn, but having stuff like the fire, or another vegatation or water tutorial would be nice

>>163660020
I copied this code now, and created a cube as a child of the camera. But it doesn't work.
I have to attach the code to the camera, right? What else do i have to do to make it work like in your webm?

Please stop this immediately.
