Dont screenshake when firing, or change it somehow

Cool grenades

nice fps

>>164005779
what about the shadows?

>>164005909
Was going to say they didn't look right overlapping, or coloring other boxes but figured that'd be nitpicky

The high framerate makes them look sexy

>>164005624

Make screenshake generally lighter, but use that kind of shake for when you get hits maybe?

I agree with >>164006098 that overlapping shadows looks kinda goofy

So I'm working on the inside of the house, I finished making the table/chairs/sofa, import them and...I don't think they fit? Compared to the picture of the outdoor area, it seems like the furniture I made is too highly detailed/realistic to fit. Am I wrong and just being overly critical?

draw the shadows to a clipping mask, then apply that mask to a fullscreen grey square. then you won't have overlapping shadows.

>>164008190
and alternative would be to draw them to a buffer as black, then just lighten/alpha the combined image.

it's not that jarring, but if you keep them you're going to have to make all the interiors the same way

i'm making good progress on my physics based platformer prototype

I don't have any original idea for my game. And without any original idea I don't have a drive to work on it. Everything has already been made.

>>164005624
The shadows shoudln't move unless you character emits light, think about that.
I thought you had columns when I saw it yesterday, but now thar you have changed it to gray I see what you meant by shadows

The only thing that matters is execution (and PR)

>>164010248
There's no originality left in the world. The best you can do is pick up already existing ideas, mix them, then add a part of yourself (tm) to it so it'll have that unique touch.

>>164010370
I call them "shadows" by abuse of language because I've made them to represent the part of the screen the character can't see. I could reuse this code for actual lightning though.

>>164010834
If you have low standarts, sure.

>>164010858
Of course there is originality left, but I can't think of anything. And when I can think of something, then it's too hard to code for me.

>>164010248
So make an iteration on a game you like, fixing what you believe to be flaws.

>>164010925
Oh, gotcha, How about switching the column coor and the shadow color then?Dark gray columns and black for the invisible section might make more sense.

>>164010983
I don't wanna do rip-offs I wanna create my own game, not just simply copy other games.
It must have an original core mechanic, but it's too hard to think of anything, or too hard to code.

>>164011116
So it's too hard to come up with something, you're too good to do something somebody else did first, but you absolutely must make a game?

It really sounds like you don't want to make a game. There are a bunch of other hobbies.

OK, stop bitching and leave then.
People are trying to help you and all you do is complain about how impossible it is to do what you want to do.
If you don't believe you have enough creativity to do something original then it's probably true, because you have convinced yourself about it.

I just thought of something. Creativity is a bit Darwinian, isn't it?

New ideas are just copies of old ideas, like genes. The small original parts are like mutations in real life. The good ones are kept and the bad ones are left out.

I guess marketing money overrides bad mutations though.

Basically two ways to play:
>try to go behind enemies
>they suddenly wake up and shoot
>2 hits and you're gone
Or:
>stay back, prepare your shot, shoot twice
>bombs explode, enemies die
>do this for the rest of the game
It's tedious and repetitive, if you accidentally get too close they go berserk on you immediately, two shots (they have 100% precision) and you're gone.
50% of the times someone gets stuck or you fire too close to a wall so it bounces back to you and you die. When you reload you have to wait 10 seconds because the cursor won't show up and let you shit (I think it doesn't recognize the mouse at all).
Plus you're slow as shit and I still don't understand if that shift to dash/charge works.
And Windows thinks it's a malicious program everytime you click on it and you have to choose "Execute anyway."

I have no idea what to do about this. Is this just the usual message you get when clicking a .exe?

>>164013620

hi this is nintendo

nice game but i'm gonna need you to remove my IP, thank you

>>164013937
May I ask why would you kickstart the game when it's clear that you can finish it on your own? What would you need the money for?

>>164013898
Yeah I think I worded it badly, basically the blue box thing (W8/10) or the white one with the yellow bar (W7) that tells you the source of the program is unknown.
Possibly GameMaker has a signing option when exporting that prevents this? I don't know, even if it has one it may still ask the user.

>>164011420
What is this

>>164014271
1) To have the chance to make the game better if it gains some money.

2) To have polishing money to polish the game further (Hire a freelancer/programmer) to help out on stuff that could use better programming. (I'm not a programmer and im making this thing on my own so I could use the help).

3) Expand the games content based on how much money thus bettering the game

4) Have money/get paid for my time working on it since im an indie with no publisher and I dont want to have to work at mcdonalds I wanna work on Bokube full-time.

5) Making my games have kickstarters gives them more marketing by default, being an indie with no publisher or marketing budget (bokube is made on $0.00) kickstarter helps normies to see the game.

Not gonna ask for much really probably like $2000 as a baseline for the amount to get a freelancer for the stuff I want help with and then if im lucky exceed that and make stretch goals.

Whats wrong with getting money to better the game? You can always improve the scope/polish of a game with more money EVEN IF you could finish the game on your own, its a matter of you could finish the game BETTER with extra money.


Though he said here >>164014551 that his game is actually made on $0 thats impressive I cant imagine what some kinda kickstarter cash could do.

>>164015173
>Whats wrong with getting money to better the game?

Kikestarter is good for professionals who do not have the money to work on what they want to work. Professionals often can not do the kind of game they want to do, because they got to live from something.

But when just someone already works on what he wants to work, then it's just begging for money for nothing. He obviously could do the game also alone. What he does is just begging for money. It's the same as going on the streets and begging people for money.

>>164015576
Not him and I'm not planning on doing a kickstarter atm but music and splash-art and such are something I can't do and would probably pay for if I couldn't afford it myself.

>>164015576
What is this logic?
Professionals are PRO because they get paid on their work and most of them have publishers to back their shit, AAA devs making kickstarters is more disgusting than an indie who makes $0 and wants to turn their passion into a fulltime career.

The whole point of kickstarter was to "Kickstart" little guys in the first place. The "They got to live from something" applies more to an indie trying to get by using kickstarter in the first place than a professional who has professional/company backing or else they wouldn't be called a professional.

>>164015823
This. The shenmue kickstarter is my favorite example of "Professionals" mudding kickstarter when they didn't need it and had sony already publishing them.

>>164015728

where is your patreon?

>>164015823
>a professional who has professional/company backing
You retard do not realize that just because you are a professional doesn't mean you can do whatever the hell you want. Kikestarter is good for pros who want to make niche games, something like Pillars of Eternity for example. Games which don't sell well anymore nowadays, and couldn't get produced otherwise probably.

But when just random people use kikestarter for funding their hobby, then it's just begging for money, nothing more.

>>164015576
There is a difference here I mean he already said

>>164014551
>I dont want to have to work at mcdonalds I wanna work on Bokube full-time.

Basically implying hes going to have to work full-time at mcdonalds instead of bokube soon and kickstarter is a chance to not do so. I think with how his game looks great I think he deserves a chance at it.

As much as we shit on kickstarters here. Cavern Kings kickstarter has STILL not came through on promises.

>>164016009
Low bar if you don't want to earn any money. There's 50k games published on the playstore every month and you think your shit will be played. Not trying to shit on you for no reason but you're not being realistic.

>>164016013
How is it begging for money when you show people a product that they want and they give you money to help you churn it out faster?

>>164016104
I've made a few other similar games in android and they got a couple hundred plays.

I think it'll come down to better search optimization and icons, something I'll try new with this.

I'll say the mobile game is possible, but it depends on the marketing skills you got.

Kikestarter is always begging, but when people obviously just do it for the money, then it's even worse.

Yup you're retarded. But then again, what was I expecting from someone who browses agdg while having no game?

>>164016542

But some people beg for being able to make the game they want, and others beg just to get more money.

>>164017036
You're LITERALLY UNIRONICALLY retarded. I hope you're doing this for attention and not because you actually believe it.

>>164017036
I love how you're assuming he COULD do it without kickstarter, as him making one could already imply he needs it, and has never said he could without one.

Its you're self-projection that weirds me the fuck out that you look at his work and state as if its a fact that he doesn't need one when you're not him, you don't know the situation of development.

Well fuck nether do I, but its unironically retard to fact out state your word as fact without that knowledge.

>>164017169
>I love how you're assuming he COULD do it without kickstarter,
It's obvious that he could do it. Otherwise he wouldn't have the time to post progress here everyday.

What's wrong with begging again? If people were lining up to give me mad bucks on patreon you could bet your ass that I would do it.

>>164017296
It's obvious that he couldn't do it. Otherwise he wouldn't have made a Kickstarter.

Each sub object has stuff like colliders and materials and a SkinnedMeshRenderer which I take from a prefab and set its relevant bones to those in the shared rig.

As long as the animations were recorded against the same rig, the whole body *should* deform fairly naturally with any combo of limbs. The question is how much freed I should give in terms of individual limb scaling.

It's showing N/A instead of the owner/sale numbers.

For a hermetic magic system, what's the best logical explanation for warriors and the like.

For example a warrior who can lift up a boulder, or slash multiple things at the same time, or extend the length of their weapon.

This is all magic, but these people aren't mages and can't do spells.

Should I just not include them?

The world has a mixture of genetic and hermetic magic, meaning magic is a science, but only those who have the genes can actually use it.

I thought about making warriors and other magical types be carriers of the gene, but it was not expressed so they can "sub-consciously" use magic through training. Is this reasonable or would it make your roll your eyes

>>164021686

I definitely remember seeing some posts of that game, or at least something that looked very much like that game. But I don't think he posted very often, and I guess he didn't post the finishing portions of the game.

Maybe he posted on discord? Honestly there's a few games on that list I've never seen posted here before And I'm here almost every day because I'm NEET, are they games from discord?

>>164022274
Mainly "complete dominance" and "incomplete dominance". In your example I would declare magicians as having complete dominance magic genes and warriors having incomplete dominance magic genes. Plebs would have no magic genes.

>>164022506
i'm not trolling. he's asking for an explanation for why warriors can use spells even though they're not wizards. i tell him it's because normal people can buy spells from wizards. then he asks for rules around the usage of such scrolls. i tell him normal people can only use those scrolls if they're virgins, which i think makes for a good story point.

i think you're just mad because you're not a virgin anymore so you can't use any spells. should have thought about that before you had sex with your mother.

Never said unity was bad, fuck I'm using it right now and I love it, but he's complaining about having to code, so he would probably be better of copy pasting game maker snippets. Unity requires you to be at least interested in programming.

Happens to me often. Especially after game jams and events like that. The most incompetent ones are always the most eager to team up and work in your project.
Honesty is the best answer here, just tell them it's a personal project and you don't want to team up. If they keep bothering you ask them what is it they think they can bring to the table, and when they say Ideas, you explain to them that ideas are worth nothing and that you get 100 ideas while taking a shit every morning.

>>164026414
Let's be honest you dumb fucking frogposter, everyone avoids teaming up here not because they don't have any friends, but because it wouldn't give any advantage whatsoever.
The scope of 99% of our projects are completely coverable by only one person, more people would slow things down given the fact that we're all novice/intermediate at our artistic and programming skills.
We already have little free time or not enough to waste on gamedev, and the schedules would conflict as we're not a company and physically absent. The quality of the game would instead go down and so the profits.

The objectively impossible "more men gets the job done" thing was already explained by Fred Brooks, it's called the "Mythical Man-Month".

Im actually considering doing the whole 3d model and draw over each frame thing. But it feels kind of like a waste of time if you arent a wizard at pixel art already or just DRAWING already.

Apart of me thinks I should go full on pre-rendered (Like pic related) but even that needs good 3d skills to render I assume. No art style can cover for poor style concepts. And I'm not going to lie to myself my Style concepts dont draw the eye so I'm too shit to take full advantage of the look.

>>164027932
most early games didn't "draw over" the 3d, it was just straight up generated from the model and scaled down as appropriate

coulda fooled me with all the compression and viewing it on a 10" CRT over 600 years ago, but still, you get what I mean. it's not "drawn over", it's a photo or CG image just compressed and otherwise formatted to be used as a sprite

>>164028561
The arms are though.

Just trying to make a small RPG in Unity, don't have much to show, sadly. Been working very slowly to design and add in menus .

Using a reference model for rotoscoping is a decent idea if you're slow at animating or bad at perspective, but pre-rendering is just pointless these days unless you're deliberately going for a 'retro' look or you're developing for some shitty platform like mobile or tablets (don't do that).

>>164028037
Exactly. Everybody at his software company, just like every company and every person after it and in this very moment, had the same skill level as the guy in the next cubicle.
It's highly improbable that one of my friends has divine art skills and gets everything done in 2 seconds. We're all small fries.
Imagine starting with a computer, food stamps for a month and electricity. To get it actually done faster, the second collaborator (with pay in the form of future profit) would have to be better than me in a second field. Artists get paid, but taking in count that you have "help" in some form (money), it's kind of like cheating in the whole and unwanted.

Basically it was all ideaguy/devguy quarrels?
>>164028415
I remember being in the /3/ thread where the guy who was making these posted this webm. Although I remember another girl being there, maybe he made more models?

>>164028627
Unless those are bought assets, that's more progress than most people ever make here.

>>164028610
Are you genuinely stupid, or just intentionally misunderstanding the workflow of generating those sprites?

Have you considered killing yourself?

>>164028816
Are you unable to see the arms are drawn and not part of the original model?

>>164028701
10/10 would have a bowl of cereal at.

looks shit m8

>>164028701
Where is the game? I don't see a game here.

>>164028709
I actually like the pre rendered look. Factorio and SC1 are really pretty to look at, to me atleast. I find it charming. But Im definatly going to consider the rotoscope idea mainly cause I enjoy animating in 3d then 2d.

>>164028701
not enough room for legs

>>164028812
A few things in the scene are just free stuff from the Unity asset store being used as placeholder, so it's nothing impressive. I have a 3D and 2D artist, but they do a bit of both so we're pretty lacking in original assets due to time, unfortunately. The shader and grass textures on the model are probably the only thing we have that's our own aside from all the code in it, hope to have a lot of those placeholder models out within the month, though.

Are you unable to see that the fundamental process of creating that image started with "take a photo of a guy" and that maybe they couldn't find a guy with sick robot arms?

Sprites like that aren't generally rotoscoped, and are only touched up or slightly edited at best. Shit like KoF may be rotoscoped as a reference, but it's just that -- a reference. Animu fighter sprites might seem slick but they're probably not rotoscoped. Pic related.

>it's a source episode
GETTING REAL TIRED OF THIS

>>164029167
Oh I see the problem here, you think I'm saying they "traced" over the photos to create the sprites. Nah, I'm saying that after they had the model through the conventional process they got some artist to draw the arms over that.

What should a boss be like for a run n' shoot platformer?

I want to make a colony game where the AI isn't stupid.
But then the player won't have much to do.

For example, the AI will see that they need food, and sees that there is a place to get food from. So this AI will go and pick up food, and then place it in the storage.
By itself.
I guess this AI could be a gatherer or something, and you have to assign this AI guy to do that.
...
any ideas?
I don't want to have to design the food for the AI to pick up, I don't want the player to tell it to drop it at the storage. I just want to say: "you are in charge of getting food" and then he will do everything else.
Is this... boring?

>Basically it was all ideaguy/devguy quarrels?

If only. Idea guy quarrels were only dangerous if the idea guys formed a clique and could exert pressure on whichever productive members they were in with.
The really bad ones happened when some key member either had a """great new idea""" on the toilet one time and loved it so much that they would do absolutely everything to get it into the game or else, up to and including leaving the team or deliberately trying to break it up if they got overruled.
The absolute worst one was when I was working on an open source mod and the primary programmer decided that instead of making a spiritual sequel to a very popular hardcore, high skill ceiling deathmatch FPS HL1 mod, we were now making a casual FPS that with deathstreak rewards, no K:D ratio, no headshots and six guns (original mod had ~30). When the rest of the team pointed to the design document and shook their head, he seized the source code and "finished" the mod himself with programmer art then pushed it to steam.
We went from 1k peak players per day to 50 overnight and that was that.

The sad thing is that he's still apparently updating it for the 30 or so lost souls who play.

>>164030184
I'm always tempted to make games like that but they always come out more as zero player simulations than proper games.

That is to say that I don't know anon, let me know if you find out.

ok so got a toolchain for maps setup and got them barely rendering and zooming...should be easy after this -_-

it's more important be a good artist than to know how to program

you can always copy paste code off the internet

Not that guy but it's prolly Pygame judging from the application icon.

Don't all good sim games do this?

You still need to know code so you can atleast fine-tune things. It's the difference between having either a polished or a rough game.

Being a good artist is important, but I'd say having basic programing know-how is probably more important at this point.

>>164026414
because if i want to make any sort of living from this the cost of development must be low, which also allows me to price my games low and justify smaller scope

you need to be a thinking man to make it as a 1MA
