When is the next jam?

>>164368173
People seem to be waiting until after dd12 to decide the next one

Unless there is a winter jam going on right now

To explore the potential and necessities of a certain game idea, I coded the prototype almost entirely in spaghetti and Frankencode.
Should I keep this project and refactor the existing code, or start from scratch with the new knowledge?

Also, should you write clean code from the start at all times or is it a waste of time? To see if an idea works in practice I often just tack it onto the existing code somewhere and don't even bother to use meaningful variable names. Since I don't even know if that functionality is going to stay it seems pointless to spend a lot of time writing good code and even creating new files that are going to be referenced somewhere

>>164370379
>meaningful variable names
Should be used either way imo. Helps both bughunting and refactoring.
Overall quick and dirty is okay to test new stuff, but refactoring is a part of gamedev one must not ignore. Starting from scratch is a bad idea, especially when it becomes a habit. It easily ends in depression when you throw out stuff every so often and start over.

Finishing a game with ugly code is more important than having a beautiful chunk of code lying around doing nothing.

>>164368173
nodev jam started already

>>164370379
Always try to aim for the cleanest code possible. However, I can't remember which dev blog I've read it on (maybe Aquaria's dev's), but there's an advice that after a while just jump to the next task and never look back. Make it as good as you can, but most importantly: make it usable for yourself. Apply your advanced knowledge into the next project, and don't bother polishing your current one to death code wise.

I usually go for spaghetti code first for testing, then clean it so that part of the code becomes reusable and flexible.

No visible progress over the weekend, but I implemented shit tons of things under the hood.
I now auto generate suspects for my game at startup.
I've externalized a lot of things so I can now add new cities and buildings just by adding files with settings into a directory.
With this I've also externalized most strings and implemented a simple variable replacement system for conversations so I can add multiple languages and variety to the game dialogues.

This game was supposed to take me two months, but it seems like I will stretch it for two more just to get something a bit more polished out there.


>>164370379
How bad is your spaghetti?
If it's awful then throw it away.
My prototype spaghetti isn't usually super bad, so for me it makes sense to just refactor by moving code bits into different components.

That's some great progress.

>>164368173
I will host the comfy jam in the week after demo day 12 for anyone who is interested in getting comfy. That's january week 3.

I feel like the roguelite I'm working on is stuck in the uncanny valley of game lengths. At the moment a run consists of 4 30 minute missions. I can't cut down the length to under an hour like action roguelites because strategy games are generally not allowed to be this short and I can't lengthen the game to 4 hours like other strategy roguelites because I can't afford to commission any more art assets.

>>164371686
Hah yeah the deadline time is not parsed into a proper string there, I'm using int as minutes and then parsing them into human readable dates.

>>164371738
Thanks! It's the ugly bits that need to be done eventually, so I'm quite happy.

P. Good. What's your plan for this?

>>164372020
Thanks! Those building assets are going away as I'm moving to auto generated city blocks, that way I can add even more variety to the game and make sure that every visit to a location looks like a different part of the city.
I'll keep the low poly style but will make the buildings more cyberpunk/derelict future looking.

I absolutely suck at math but I need to make a FPS game, that means I need to mess around with vectors and program a proper recoil system, redpill me on learning math from the ground up

>>164373059
You don't need to know math, just have to know how to apply algorithms. It's far easier.

>>164373094
What do you mean by that

>>164373105
copy and paste the math instead of learning it

>>164373140
I used to do that but it can only get you so far, not to mention you need to have an understanding of what's actually going on and what the hell you're hitting with the vectors and shit, debugging etc

>>164373105
I mean, you only need to know which algorithm to use when, and then know how to google it and apply it. Like saying "oh I need the pythagorean thereom", googling it, and converting it to code. By no means do you need to actually be able to do it by hand.

Ok lads, give me some dev Music.

>>164373059
Make a topdown shooter instead.

>>164373409
What's the difference

>>164373436
Topdown shooters require basically no math. If you're smarter than a 14 year old you can make one.

Anything good in the humble gamedev bundle?

I have had an idea for a while.. Done some planning and ready to behin. HOWEVER! It is a 4x strategy making use of some 3D, but not heavy, intense moving models and such. Will GODOT suffice or should I got balls deep into unity?

Is this shilling now? every thread the same question shows up and very similar conversations stem from it.

Go buy it, or don't.
If you have to get advice on whether or not you should be spending a dollar then you probably should not be spending any money.
On the other hand, if you are a shill like I'm suspecting: it's time to stop. If you aren't, check the previous 4 threads for the answers you want.

To make 6 Worlds, 4 levels and a boss each, levels are challenging with the game play of a japanese shoot em up, mixed with a 3d platformer.

You have 3 shots you can do, blue, red, and yellow. Enemies come in those 3 colors as well with the only way to kill them being firing your shots at them.

No story yet, not sure on how to do a good story for this one when its focus is gameplay.

Dude, this is like, my first time in AGDG. I just noticed that I got a mail in my promotion folder from Humble Bundle, and since I'm not experienced with gamedev tools, but am interested in game development, I was wondering if any of those are good,and instead of having to sift through everything myself, I thought I'd ask.

>>164374114
It will probably end at a 70/30 2D/3D split as its very much a point and click through menus interface.

I suppose like a CIV game but without units that move across hex tiles. More towards endless space.

>>164374182
why not just buy them for a dollar and be done with it

Is it pronounced boくbe or bo-cube

>>164374182
No problem, check the previous threads, or use google. But honestly if you can't do your own research on stuff and need to have your hand held while you spend $1 you probably shouldn't do it .
These questions are pointless.

>>164371823
so rather than using a camera raycast to the floor through the mouse position for the player to look at, you have a blank object set to the mouse position and have the player look at that?

I'm not using unix timestamps or any other sort of standard thing, and I already have it implemented (check the date on top of the sidebar). I just didn't parse it in the contract details panel, no biggie.

>>164374220
>I suppose like a CIV game but without units that move across hex tiles. More towards endless space

Sounds like a job for Unity

>>164374220
Have you made a game before? The scope of any CIV like game is huge.
I'd recommend doing something smaller before if you have never developed a game.

>>164374821
I have written software before, I have created websites before, but never a game.

I understand scope and hopefully have designed and planned well enough to remain within scope.

I might do something smaller anyway to get used to using unity.

What is the best software to model and animate for beginners? I don't need great detail or textures, just be able to model basic shit and basic animations

I kinda want to try making that flower girl raising game for comfy jam but I can't figure out how the actual gameplay would be like while still being comfy and non-lewd
help? maybe some kind of pikmin clone where after raising them, you take them with you to do stuff?

>>164370379
the best scenario is to write terrible spaghetti as fast as possible while prototyping and then once you know exactly what you need you engineer proper systems to meet those requirements

but that basically never gets to happen

>>164375020
A big housing game were farming and making your house is the only real goal, and happy flower makes you earn money for buying more pretty things.
Add good chill-out music, and a little town to visit and 2-3 person to talk to, and that's it.

>>164375020
maybe something like you run a little comfy village with them

>>164375020
What about just a regular raising sim but instead of girl, you would raise flower girls? I don't think that you should overthink the concept, especially if you want to do it for a jam.

How about a beauty contest like in Pokémon DPP where you dress your flower and make her wear shiny things? with a cute dance minigame.

>>164375308
>that whole idea
Hnnngggg.

Other than that: anon, all flowers are beautiful and pure. A competition would only lead to bullying and shaming, and many flowers to become sad. You wouldn't make a flower sad, would you?

>>164375279
The alraune idea guy

>>164375527
Actually flowers are in constant competition to attract polinizing insects

>>164375020
>>164375319
I want dozens of flower lolis come running as I open the door shouting and welcoming me home so I can headpat them one by one and tell them what good girls they are

>>164375527
Plants are brutal warriors of nature who understand that only the strongest may survive. Many will not even germinate, let alone survive their environment. When in competition for elements, they sit and resign themselves to their fate if they cannot overcome the opposition, knowing full well it is the only way for life to continue without degenerating.

>>164375020


>>164375591
>>164375659
And I guess here's your idea, anon. Raise flowers so they become more resilient towards nature disasters, harmful insects, weed, and to become more pretty so they can mate with good insects, in order to raise a new generation of flowers. The final goal is to breed the ultimate flower. So like Spore but with flower girls.

math isn't about number. math is about manipulating infinity.

think of a point on a number line. lets say it's at 0.5. that the bullshit way to think about it. the units are things we made up. we could slap other units on the line and say the point is at 1.7423045. the point is not a number. the point is is just *there*. we make number to describe the point.

the point's name is pogo.

now imagine we have another point. we'll name it 'polly'. polly is moving toward pogo. but, polly got attacked by dark eldrich quadrilaterals from the third dimension which gave her a status effect of moving half her distance each time she takes a step. sucks to be polly.

so zombie polly is moving toward pogo. she moves 1 unit at first, then 0.5 units, then 0.25 units, then 0.125, etc, always moving closer, but always slowing down. will this hollow shell of polly ever make it to pogo?

no. but yes. it's irrelevant

points are just *there* at a position on the infinity. even when polly is moving an infinitely small amount and is an infinitely small distance away from pogo, if you zoomed in infinitely, she'd still be infinitely far away.

and here is the weird thing

two points are always infinitely far away from eachother.

so how do we say if a point's position is equal to another point's?

when it's "close enough" based on the units we're using. the units that we made up to give sense to the infinity.

on these units we invent functions like add, subtract, multiply, negate, and all that, just to move these incomprehensible vaguities of points around the infinity.

so as you can imagine, we try to make up whatever shit gets us the answer we want (without breaking the other shit we made up, of course)

enter higher learning

you will have a much easier time with higher math when you realize it's not about counting apples, but the result of centuries of enginedevs soiling napkins trying to find some god damn way to make rotations work right. we call them mathematicians.

Blender is pretty easy for just modelling:

Right click to select the cube

G to grab, and move it around
R to rotate it
S to scale it.

Tab for switching to edit mode

Right-click to select a vertex
All that stuff works in here too

Shift to select more than one thing (like vertiices)

E to extrude (pull out new vertices from your selected vertices)

F to connect vertices (select three to make a Face)

and there you go
you can now model in blender

AGDG jams really need to start using a lundum dare style jam where the theme is a vague gameplay mechanic or scenario. "Have thing x in your game" is boring and nobody gives a shit, as dinosaur jam proved in spades.

>>164379157
oh, and Left click confirms your changes.

ex: right click on cube, R to rotate it, left click to confirm.

>>164379209
The only thing Dino jam proved is that sometimes a jam can be badly timed and not many people enter. Look at space jam and both Halloween jams. Those were all "have thing x in your game", and yet they were all successful jams.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have gameplay mechanic jams, but it's not really a factor that makes a jam successful or not.

>>164378510
I'll play it anyways fampai

The real question is, do you have sound fx? Do the guns go pew pew or bang bang?

This. Dino jam proved this kind of jams don't bring anything new to the table. I mean, one guy just made Memogame with Dinosaurs. A really polished and well done memogame, but a memogame clone after all. Space jam was the same, but again almost all the games were shooters in a way or another.

Obviously, but I believe it would make for way more interesting and creative driven jams.
You could easily have something like gravity jam and have people thinking out of the box or have a jam were devs are forced to make something out of their comfort zone. Have people that always do 2D make something in 3D and the opposite. The results could be amazing.

I'm considering upgrading to Plus right before I release my game just to remove the 'made with unity' splash screen. I think having that in there could have a negative impact. And $395 for one year does not sound too crazy so I can afford to experiment with that.
Not the guy you are replying to btw.

>>164380456
Yeah. A few hours later I tried to open it again and it worked.

>>164380456
like, when I bought sky rogue on steam it still had the made with unity splash, so I don't think people respond that negatively
just give them something to look at before the game on the landing page or something

>>164380456
check out the new 5.5 splash screen before upgrading
it looks more like the splash screens that studios have to add when using paid engines or middleware

>>164380095
well, it's a gms game, so some degree of modding is def. possible since you can just unpack everything. custom rooms are a thing we want to have too.

unreal is better engine overall. it's what unity should've/could've been but 10 years in the future.
blueprints are cool and c++ is cool. if you get used to reading and writing in c++ then moving to c# and javascript or any other engine with a shittier language(if you decide to) will be ultra easy since c++ is as complex as it can get from high-level programming language stand point.
no splash screen if you want.
you get the "pro" features and the dark theme for free.
engine devs communicate with their community.
unreal engine has $$$ giveaways to support interesting game ideas if you show them the prototype.
5% revenue is better because imo if you make 0$ you pay 0$. if you make less than 3000$ you pay 0$. after that they ask for 5% but that's like150$. you can obviously afford 150$ from you 3000$ that you earned using THEIR engine, right?

You actually have to get permission from Epic to use their splash screen, genius move.

Unity kind of shot themselves in the foot by forcing it to appear on every piece of trash, while likely being removed from good games.

I never thought of it, but that's true. When I see the Unity logo I just assume the game will be trash. Even though I do enjoy some games made with Unity, those games just don't use the splash screen.

I usually don't post much, and I was working on a completely different project before this one (webm related).

My new game is based on Carmen Sandiego's follow a criminal and capture him mechanic. I'm adding puzzles and finances to make it more interesting (different flight types, hotel rooms, expenses, bribes, etc.).
This was originally going to be a 2 month effort, but last week I decided to spend two extra months polishing and improving it so I can sell it without losing my dignity.

The ball grows a little bit, but not much, I didn't want to do a full big katamari like game. So you just pick up flower seeds.

>>164383148
Hero-Core is a free action/adventure game where you can shoot left or right but you can move everywhere. Great game, you should test it.

But basically, I'm not sure there's a fish in the pond I'm searching in.

I don't recall that one either. I've been away from AGDG for a while, and only relatively recently have I begun to frequent it again. That game idea sounds neat, I look forward to giving it a try.

>>164383179
Me too, friend, but yours blow mine out of the water. What kind of game is it?

>>164383287
Ahh I see. Honestly, I thought part of Katamari's charm is that you got so big that you start rolling up whole planets. You just kept getting bigger and bigger and you wondered where the limit was. But there's also no need to strictly follow katamari either.

>>164383353
Perhaps you need to move to a new pond then. Confidence in what you're doing is key.

>>164383362
That's neat. Are they prefab messages like dark souls or whatever the player types in?

>>164383401
Is this the game with the powerups being selectable by looking at your arm gauntlet thing? Either way, looks good, keep it up.

>>164383434
You know, I'm afraid I actually don't know much about Anubis. If memory serves, it's a La Mulana like?

It's a Maze-of-Galious-like, which is the game that La-Mulana was also aping. Nobody in the Western world knows what that game is though, so it's fair enough that people keep thinking it's trying to be La-Mulana.

Can't say there's much of a gimmick in the Anubis thing beyond trying to keep it reasonably vintage seeming. At least, more than most modern gamers would care about, since it's aimed at people who miss old 8 bit games right down to the gameplay.

Guess it could be. Should be interesting to see if there's any market for games that actually play like an old game instead of just being "retro-inspired" or whatever people call it when they just have low res pixel art.

a game where you have a primordial pool of evolving self learning cells that competes against a computer controlled pool. There is a timer and in this time you and the ai have a limited set of mutations to introduce into the pool. After the time, the gates of the pools open and the cells fight it out to the death.

Visual inspiration is the duelling club from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Spellsystem is inspired by Magicka, meaning you have a base vocabulary of syllables and form words from that, which can cast or charge up spells.

is that some sort of jab? what other critique could i give most of these progress posts? we all understand that most of the stuff in here is in a very early stage of development and subject to big changes in the future. there's no point whatsoever in offering deep criticism of the overall picture. people are obviously well aware of the fact that they're using placeholders. same thing for gameplay, what's the point when it's so barebones that 5 lines of code can turn the entire thing on its head? and how should i know how gameplay might be change to better suit the idea of the game when i don't know the idea of the game. the best criticism i can come up with for most of these posts is a nod.

it's either a nod, not replying to any progress posts so people cry that nobody ever replies to their progress posts or, people actually say what it is that they want feedback on and give some context.

>>164384936
i don't like how the gun keeps changing direction. it's a weird mix between shooting in a fan pattern and in a straight line. that looks nice though.

>>164385793
Honestly I've never played any of the harry potter games so I wouldn't know about that. Do you not move and just launch spells at your foes while also using spells to defend yourself?

>>164385796
I'll wait for Demo Day. I'm honestly pretty tired from frustrating asset dev all night so I don't really want to get into anything.

>>164385884
10/10. I honestly like the dedication when people voice all the sound effects, but if you're not serious, I would point you to BFXR to make sound effects.

Hey, has anyone here worked with C# Duality framework.

Can I compile that reliably?

>>164386128
>Do you not move and just launch spells at your foes while also using spells to defend yourself?
Exactly that. If the enemy launches a fireball, you cast a strong gust of wind to deflect it or summon a big wave of water to extinguish it. It's supposed to be a back and forth until one wizard slips up.

I hope to be able to give it more depth than that, but if you boil it down I can't deny that to be true.

I hope so. I recently compiled Godot 2.2, which comes with high-level networking and I want to give that a shot with this project.

>>164386296
My opinion of that idea is honestly polarizing. I'll wait to play it before passing personal judgment.

>>164386382
That's because I asked for the roll call in the first place. It wouldn't be nice of me to ask people to post stuff and then ignore them.

No problem, guess I'll post some roll call stuff every now and again to help out like that. It's a nice break from how suffocating dev can be.

mutations could just be pre-written scripts, so instead of the cells evolving, for example, some kind of primitive vision by chance and survival of the fittest, you could introduce this system yourself at the start

>>164386412
I really hope that you're trolling and shitposting. There's no way that any dev can't tell the difference of hard work between having something walk around and what I've just described.
Face it. The truth is that you don't really care about games but only about graphics.

Pals, I know C++ and Python. I don't want to use C++ and I can't use Python since it is unreliable when it comes to the time when I have to compile it into something I can distribute.

So, I quess that C# is the obvious choice, yes?

Does C# have any kind of 2D graphics API that IS NOT entity based? And if this question seems to be too vague, help me narrow it.

Your reply was irrelevant and useless.
This thread is supposed to be about making games yet you ignore games that don't have good graphics. Get fucking real.

I literally just have to open the last thread and look at the 4th reply to see a worthwhile progress that got totally unnoticed.
And meanwhile you're giving thousands of replies to someone posting a girl walking around while telling that ""the game looks good""? What game? It's literally just something moving around.

Stop being such a hypocrite and admit it already.

RPS isn't a bad thing necessarily, it just sits at an extreme end on the "unpredictability" in games scale

In RPS there's no shared knowledge, so optimal strategy assuming you're opponent is also playing optimally is to pick perfectly randomly. It rewards you as a player for being unpredictable

and then on the other end are things like chess, where there is usually a small set of "good" moves, and your opponent can pretty reliably plan on you making a good move because not doing that would kneecap yourself.

Neither are super healthy when you're making your own game, RPS is boring, chess is extremely hard to balance

Then why did you ask me to stop talking?

>>164388089
I wasn't thinking strict RPS, it's just that especially elemental spells operate on this kind of behaviour. The actual thing should come close to a line wars / tug o' war kinda deal. Fireballs take time to traverse the arena. Wall spells only hold up for a short time. Instantaneous spells will never kill the enemy only yourself
