I used the wheel collider in one of my previous unity projects and that thing is beyond crappy
I had nothing but problems with it, it was nearly impossible to force it into acting realistic like a real wheel would, so i'm glad i decided to not used any wheels for the landing gear in my ship.

The doors are controlled by a script, since their opening is a simple single axis rotation, using the animator would be an overkill.
Yeah, for the clusters I will have to slap together some nice pattern to make them pretty like in movies, depends on how well will it work in the game, the main thing is to keep them from colliding with each other.

>>164133173
The ship is controlled by simple WSAD for movement, and mouse for looking around. There is also full dual-stick controller support, which is preferable since it's more similar to what real pilots use. If you mean the actual movement it is done purely by using physics, the ship simulates thruster usage for turning. What do you mean by perspective?

Why there are so many versions of Photon?

Store raw binary data like a bitmap the size of the array
store 1 for do process
0 for don't
Then do bitwise lookup

>>164134213
Shoot down enemy missiles with your own missiles. That'd be pretty frickin sweet.

>>164134391
That is the idea actually. I added colliders on missiles precisely for this reason. When enemy comes at the player from a distance, the player will be able to shoot down their projectiles and missiles.

If you limit the number of missiles that AI and player can carry at any one time, that'd be a great way to balance missiles and force the use of guns.

Player's resources will be scarce so he won't be wasting missiles in any case.
It's funny though, at one time in modern combat the army actually considered removing all guns from their new jets and only using missiles.

Fucking hell, it really is just a bug with the wheel colliders. I put together this ultra simple test case with a car with 4 wheels. If the wheels ever come to a complete stop, they just will not budge from an outside force pushing on the object like a thruster.

Unity not us :^)

>>164136087
We have a different artist now, but yeah it's still 2d pixel.

Mmm, I don't want to share my total bank info, but we sold enough for me to live off it for a few months. I was looking for a AAA game job as well as it wasn't a huge hit that could fund my next projects and I wanted a break from indie life. So after that I put my earnings into savings and I just live off my day job in a tripple A game job.

Then a few months ago we were on Humble Game Maker Bundle, which gave us a huge boost in money. Console version is coming soon, so I'm hoping for another boost.

Hypothetically, lets say I survived on £800 ($1000), would the total that you, personally, got cover me for 12 months?

Also which console and how does that work, did you decide to port to it or does the owner company send you a generic email?

>>164136796

>>164136846
Yeah, you would be easily covered for more than 12 months.

A publisher wrote to me after PC release, if I am interested in console. They financed the whole thing (paid port people, ratings, etc.) and is collecting money from only the console version sales.

>>164137889
Aw, you're too kind.

Running my studio is the ideal, but it takes a lot of money. Working on Uncanny Valley I managed 4 people and it went... fine for the most part. Wasn't well organized. A lot of the game was designed with "wouldn't it be cool if..." And then we pilled shit on top of shit and it turned out half baked, buggy and some systems were broken/stupid. But I learned.

Now I'm working with an artist and composer/sound guy, so only 2 people and my organizational skills improved greatly. I don't do anything without making a prototype with all the features (to see what works and what doesn't) and I need to write a game design document, asking myself all the important questions. I usually start with just writing a few pages of questions, then answering them (with more questions usually).

>>164138357
how much did you end up making off UV at the end of the day?

>>164138327
Yep, both the unoptimized and optimized versions are marching cubes, just one with better code.

>>164136379
The best I seem to be able to do is giving each wheel a nonzero, but very tiny motor torque so that it's always willing to move.

Been fucking around for a few days on a KOTOR-esque RPG running on slightly simplified GURPS rule system. You can move around, switch which character you're controlling, beat on or shoot an unresponsive enemy sphere, distribute skill points and buy advantages, do some skill checks, like in dialogue or try to lockpick a box off in the corner, and have stilted conversations in an ugly dialogue window. Still on the list is any sort of AI, all the interface screens, like equip, level up, inventory, and so on, and maybe change the way you use skills.

After that, Ill have to see if my artbro can do 3D as good as he does oil paint. If not then Ill just get him to do some "Concept art".

It won't be incredibly cuhrayzee but you will be able to do combos, attack cancels and dash cancels.
Most likely going to include a parry move for the other playable character so that will add to the combat too.

>>164143123
Don't lump bestiality together with furshit please.

>>164143264
The best way to mix it up would be one with a parry and the other with a dodge/dash with invincibility frames or "Witch Time".

Hey AGDG! I'm making a SHMUP in Game Maker and trying to keep enemies deactivated before they enter the main camera view and after they're offscreen.
I can't tell a deactivated object to reactivate itself, and I can't check its position compared to the view, because it's deactivated.
How can I handle this without making it messy as fuck?

>>164143375
Look up instance_activate_region

>>164143584
From what I understand it actually broke things more and they're trying to fix it for 4.15

>>164143375
As far as I know, deactivated instances are still in memory and can still have their variables read. So as long as you save their id as you deactivate them you should be able to cleanly do this.

>>164143375
>>164143715
To follow on, you should check the gms documentation when you're having issues with something. If you're wanting to activate objects, you could look up "instance_activate_object" in the docs and you'd find "instance_activate_region" right next to it. GMS' docs are really, really good and you should always check there first

idiots who never made a proper collision detection right there
you guys dont know the edge cases that you need to address

"Just prevent it from happening" wouldnt work.
Here is one of like 10 edge cases:
if the block is 1x1, and player speed is say, 3 units. One frame player is not hitting it, the next frame block is inside the player. "Oh shit, clearly collision happened, but now what"

Just knowing that collision happened is piss easy, hard part is reacting to it properly

https://github.com/EikaMikiku/Platformer/blob/master/public/js/Entity.js#L41

Anyone Godot around here?

I'm trying to lock my test cube to increments of 45 degrees, but its rotation isn't being set by the parent's script.

How do i stop a node from inheriting its parent's rotation?

>>164144197
Thanks. I used obs

>>164145191
Not him but extending the collision volumes like that is part of predictive collision detection that he is evidently already doing.

>>164145702
>idiots who never made a proper collision detection right there
But I have and it works perfectly.

if position + 3 units is past 1x1 block then place it at the position before penetrating.

Haven't posted here in a while since I work in a country with very, very, very limited internet access. Making a kind of dating sim/RPG/visual novel thing. Just getting systems in place before I start up with content. The dating sim/visual novel system is done so I've been working on a simple turn based RPG system for the actual 'game' parts of the game. Spent days getting the UI to work and it only took an afternoon to get the enemy AI working. Fun. I'm really happy with how easy it was to implement a changing enemy AI so that the player can switch back and forth between VN-like interface and the RPG battle without much disruption. So you can talk to the bad guys or fuck them or make them mad or something, then punch them in the face, then apologize to them after, or something. I don't know, I haven't written the script yet. But it's functionally possible now at least!

My computer is 1024x576 so I can't make the resolution a whole lot bigger, but I figure I can mess with that junk later since the UI is an ugly mess right now anyway and it'll definitely change at some point so who cares. It's functional so I can playtest and that's good enough! I can probably shrink the battle log at the bottom so you can see more than one 'action' at a time but at least there's scroll bars.

The sum of all this is that I've basically recreated the admittedly shitty and limited form of gameplay in Monster Girl Quest. Coupled with the programmer art it really looks like something a child could do. I'm hoping I can do a bit better though with more time.

trying to figure out simplest way you could go about what you're trying to accomplish.

its not possible to use the scene hierarchy so you could get the reference by refering to child objects?
does the other objects you're going to modify with the placeable object have colliders?

you could make editor tool that uses raycast to get reference to the objects you want to modify. Filter stuff you don't want to modify using layer mask?
gimme something to work with? why do you need separate object to modify other objects for a level editor?

set_global_rotd

You can also use set_as_toplevel on a node to prevent inheriting any transforms while remaining in the hierarchy. However at this point you cannot selective inherit translation without rotation because the transforms are actually 3x2 matrices, not sets of translation/rotation/scale

You can also use a RemoteTransform2D which acts as a transform proxy for a node in a different hierarchical position

You can also have the node correct itself in _process using a script variable to store the intended global rotation. There are many options.

i've done something similar before, it's just a huge pain in the ass. basically, i'm gonna assign some sort of unique id to every object and keep some sort of serializable dictionary where this unique id will yield a list of all the objects this unique id is connected to. then when i load a stage from a file, i'll do two passes where first i'll instantiate everything and then use that dictionary to reconnect everything.

After lots of tweaking to make wheel colliders work nicer, including re-scaling the masses of everything, and a working parking brake, fighters can now park just fine on a maneuvering carrier. The engines also shut off and stop trying to fight the parking brake when it's on now.

Unfortunately a side effect of my workaround for getting stuck is that you'll often roll forwards even when you don't want to. I don't have a great way around that yet, but it's better than getting stuck completely.

I think that in practice, I wouldn't have the things that you land on fly this fast or unpredictably, but it's good knowing the limits.

>*example of idiotic bug
during this boss fight you're supposed to walk down this corridor into a big room and then a door will shut behind you and the fight begins. however if you aim while still in that corridor it shifts the camera towards the top of the screen, activating the boss fight while you're still in the hallway and the door hasn't shut. you can just literally wait for the boss get stuck in the door and then you can kill it effortlessly.

and that's not isolated case. Those moving blocks that you have to dodge? they themselves are dodgy as hell and commonly cause your character to warp through walls and shit. I literally skipped a locked door by complete accident during my first play of the game by being pushed through a wall by one of those moving blocks.

oh and I almost forgot to mention the camera, oh boy how shitty it is especially during the fight with the big sword guy. If you're on top part of the room which the fight happens in and the boss is near the bottom, you cant see your character because the camera again through probably use of shitty visual coding focuses on the boss. And this is a boss fight where you're supposed to reflect bullets fire by the boss with reflect mechanism that's terrible at its best.

If CurrentFloor = 1 then get random (x,y) and put ExitD tile there.

finished some more character practice, looks a little same-y as the last one. might try and exaggerate proportions more next time

you use substance painter for stylized stuff? people always go on about how it's not used for that

hi grampa

>>164159272
i use substance designer mostly, but yeah the whole suite is pretty PBR focused. i think there's still room to try stylized stuff and working with high poly maps is a breeze

>>164159338
Damn. I wish I could unsee that.
Dont get me wrong, its actually well made but.. So much wasted potential, it saddens me.

Probably represents 7~8 months of work. Great for squeezing out patreon bucks, not so great for actually shipping something.

How much abuse would you be willing to take from a video game? Obviously the general answer depends on how much fun the game is, but in terms of just how badly things can go for no reason. A couple of examples of what I mean

>enemy has 1% crit chance
>smooth sailing
>HP drops to 29
>ENEMY CRITS FOR 30

>Pokemon
>go through long cave
>party is weak
>Gary Oak
>get fucked
>go through again
>prepared this time
>no Gary

>Want to make staff, 3 pieces each at 1/33 rate from red, blue, and green golems
>get red piece in 15 kills
>get blue piece in 41 kills
>no green piece in 120 kills


Obviously this is just a part of video games, but what if you eventually found out the game was doing it on purpose? It was actually designed to change RNG and force things to happen just to fuck with you? Do you think you would quit or it would be interpreted as a "challenge accepted" meme game like how everyone obsessed about Dark Souls because they thought it was so hard?

>>164147209
If you leave it running what would happen?

>>164161319
The thing about RNG or otherwise unpredictable behaviour is that it creates risky situations. Like if an enemy has a 1% chance to crit with 30 damage, it's risky to let yourself get to 30 HP or less. But you know that it's still unlikely, so you can risk doing something other than healing straight away.

With a system designed to always come out as bad as possible, you've now removed the interesting element of risk and made it so the player has no choice but to heal in that situation.

tfw the dev build works but the production build breaks stuff.

There was a bug I couldn't fix where if boku touches them it rockets him into space.

I'm still using them in the levels, just trying to get around the bug by designing the levels so the yellow cube is off somewhere boku cant get to, but needed to still complete the overall puzzle somehow.

>>164161923
Of course, I meant to put it in the context of it happening sometimes rather than a set rule. Like the crit example, it wouldn't be "oh a crit will kill him the enemy will autocrit" but it would skew the odds to be much higher than that normal 1%.

The intention would be it wouldn't be something obvious that you would find out playing, because most of it would be subtle, so rather than just a stream of bad things happening, you'd be having a good time until it decided something really bad should happen to you, or just nudge the roll a little.

It's more of a theoretical question about how badly someone can be treated by something until they give up if it's still fun at its core.
