Can you still release a viable game if you're a shitty programmer, but still using a real programming language (not enginedevving though)?

>but still using a real programming language

what did he mean by this?

>>164784748
A real programming language is anything that is compiled to machine code or bytecode; anything that is not interpreted or JITed.
Scripting languages are not programming languages, hence called scripting. I.e. Python, Haxe, GML etc.

>animeposters
>frogposters
>greentexters
>memes

hahaahahahaha, have fun guys, im out

>>164785139
I assume he just means a language that isn't a DSL of a specific engine (e.g. GDscript or GML). Something that you can use standalone.

>>164785152

>>164785152
Bytecode is interpreted. Bytecode can be JITted. JITting is compiling to machine code. You are so wrong it hurts.

Standalone from an engine. But since he says "not enginedevving" I assume he means e.g. C# in Unity or C++ in Unreal.

C has a runtime, does that make it not a real programming language?

Finally got around to some AI scripting. So AI has their routine, that they stick to. If you mess with it, they have some priorities they take care off first.

One of those is the light. Their top priority is to turn it back on, then they return to their routine (for now it's just walking back and forth, in final version it's gonna be cooking).

If you do it too much, characters become too suspicious and panic (run away).

Say, I'm working on GMS and the tile-based levelmaking is absolute fucking dogshit, and even though I know GMS2's level editor is better I'm not gonna have access to it in a long time, if at all for this project.

How should I approach tile-based levels? Should I make a small map editor in-game to ease the process and test it in real time, use an external editor, or make it something like one big background image with the whole level and add only the boundaries, effects, objects, etc?

Also, if they see a floating item, they need a bit of time to register it, meaning it gives you enough time to drop it or move away.

If they see a dead body, they panic instantly and run away.

That's because gravity is being lowered for high jumps. I don't have the exact number for what I'm going to change it to so it'll probably stay like that until I have an actual game to base it off of.

I guess this proves that using free assets or even buying them is the way to go.

>>164791291

>>164790992
Actually that video is what gave me the idea to do that.
There are two downwards facing raycasts for the character, one detects if he's grounded and the other detects if he's still in the upward stage of his jump. Basically, if the player is still holding the jump button after he leaves the ground but during the ascent, their gravity will be lowered until they reach the ground again.
It's probably not the most elegant way to handle it, but it's all I could come up with using my meager knowledge.

Let them die from their collective aneurysms then. Even big studios buy assets from contractors. The only difference is that the big studios are buying the assets with exclusivity and not from a store.

>>164791642
Name ten games that haven't used an engine made in the last eight years that derives from any other engine that's existed before. That includes unity, unreal, game maker, cryengine, sam-engine, any quake-derived engine, any source-derived engine, and so on and so forth.

Go on, I'll wait.

>>164791798
Most console games.

you may wanna make that initial bit slightly louder/more pronounced if it's not supposed to be entirely lost under the other instruments that come in. it's pretty quiet compared to them.

>>164791798
And I mean including libraries too, anon, since the meme is 'you have to have made the whole cow and all the parts that make it up'. So no OpenAL, GFWL, etc libs either.

>>164791898
You're hilariously wrong.

>>164791483
Depends where you place 1 man effort. If the assets are just available for purchase but were not specifically developed for the project they were used/adapted for, I'd say it's still a 1-man-effort.

Nobody who enjoys sanity sets out to prove a negative. The claim was that nobody's put out games that aren't using engines and libraries that they didn't develop themselves.

Calm down retard. Source is literally the Quake 1 engine.

Godot question

How can I get a body with physics to travel along an angle? .move( ) takes a Vector2 and seems to be the only way of actually applying a velocity to something.

>>164787068
>>164787250

cool, thanks anon

Anyways, the point is, if you didn't write the code compiler, you can't say you made the engine.

All that shit posting about how cod games aren't running on engines that ore existed: just because the modifications continue to drive them further away from the source doesn't make them less derived, just less compatible.

I wonder about that too.

Pan-Pan is all done by one person, including sound. Very impressive.

FRACT OSC started as a single person project.

Absolute Drift and Race the Sun is made by only two people.

Tokyo 42 is also only two people, also brothers.

I thought maybe Infinifactory was only Zach, but there's 4 programmers and 14 artists + designers, writing, music, sound, voice acting...

Godot isn't any different from other engines.
You can have objects that are simulated by the physics engine. To control these objects via code you have to apply physics forces. In Godot you do this in _integrate_forces() callback by applying velocity. You can also use joints/pins etc in the editor, you can use Area2D to apply physics effects in a certain area, such as wind

Kinematic bodies are not simulated but can collide and affect other simulated bodies. In Godot you move them with move(), which resolves collision and will always end up non-colliding

it is a twinstick shooter.

If I'm making a game with multiple level themes that all share the same basic types of tiles (corner, middle, etc), what would be an effective way of getting the right image? I'm currently thinking a list of lists, where the first list holds the list of themes, then goes into that list to get the right tile.

Or are there any better suggestions? It's dynamic so it isn't a case of me manually placing each tile and picking what it looks like while building a level.

Not much to "show off" because most of the changes were to make the game run better and load levels faster. After cleaning up some code it's back to generating levels in moments even on mobile devices.

Looking into rewriting some of the stuff for images so planets can have more variety in appearance again, since I broke that overhauling generation, then tying up some loose ends so people can try it as a demo while I add the fancy things I've been wanting to make.

to be fair I actually LIKE lua on paper, it's just frustrating actually using it

like arrays are tables, which are objects but not really, and if you actually want a numerically-indexed array you have to create the keys ahead of time

and there's no string.split, you have to string.gmatch and regex it and there's apparently no character for new lines?

and all variables are global until proven otherwise, which is certainly simple but has fucked my debugging twice already

it could just be I'm not used to it, and I guess I can be ok with that. love2d is really cool and I like the simplicity of the load / update / draw system. I just keep finding more weird shit in lua and I'm worried it's not going to end.

Actually, it gets better if you put some time into it, can't get around that part unfortunately if you really want to get into lua.
I do agree that some of their decisions are weird though, like that fucking index starting at 1 wtf.

I haven't used it for a while but I'm pretty sure that there is a way to achieve scope with variables.
See, that's the problem with those alternatives. They want to be simple, but in reality they aren't if you don't put enough time in them and this is why most people would rather put all that time in more common languages.

Fair point, but I really like how dynamic lua's tables are after you get used to them. Not only can you mix and match dictionaries and indexed values into a single table, you can also write your own table functions as you please (if, say, tables starting at 1 is not your cup of tea).

Not only this, but how you can manipulate metatables gives a lot of flexibility and opportunities for object orientation, among other things.

Here's a visual depiction of what I meant. On the left you have the upside of only accessing the information you want, but on the right you can customize the dialogue better like...
>What's your name, sweetie?
>And how old are you, [name]?
>That's an interesting name, where is it from?

Should I keep it like the left, but only unlock the name/nationality arcs once you ask her name? Or allow you to ask all 3 at once, but have different dialogue for asking age/nationality based on if you had previously asked her name?

Or maybe small-talk can build up some "familiarity" stat, or just increase her comfortableness with you, allowing you to ask her more things with her answering them. (Otherwise she could just be like "Mommy told me not to talk to strangers..." or something, which could then possibly decrease her comfortableness with you?)

sounds like i gotta read up on tables

>>164802720
i'll try it out

thanks for listening broskis

If ZeroBrane isn't to your liking, it's trivial to hook Notepad++ or Sublime Text to run love2d using their build systems/plugins.

>I did try \n for newlines but it just spit actual "n"s back at me. I'll fuck around with it some more, I guess.
I guess I'd have to see the code to understand, but haven't run into anything like that myself before.

>>164803193
you misquoted my post instead of the post above mine.

you two can get back to whatever weird mating ritual you've got going on.

>>164803193
Literally all of your posting is an attempt to false flag a namefag who nobody cares about. 2 years of this. Stop wasting your life.

>>164802984
It's a good thing I don't shout about it then and only bring it up when it's relevant then eh?

I'm better than you. Tone that attitude down a bit.

>>164802130
I have nothing to prove to you and you used that image just the other day. Step it up a notch.
>Are you guys trying to imply
You're trying too hard and I'm bored of you now. Go away.

>>164803483
Believe what you want. It's normal for cucks to be in denial of the superiority of others. I am your superior.

>>164800775
its shit. add more detail.

he's well-spoken, opinionated, and contrarian, so he's bound to get some followers. there's also a bit of a messianic appeal, as he believes games as an art form are not reaching their potential. this inspires a lot of young devs/wannabe devs to get in and try to make good art in games

do you need an album cover?

I think they're facing the same direction but it looks wonky because theyre sprites not models

alright anon i get it now
thank you, it does look kinda cool but i'll probably have to tweak it around a bit
>>164802840
thanks

>>164803739
I think it would be neater if it was more like rotating 3d tubes at the top and bottom, but that's just me.

>>164803647
Cuckholding is a fetish. You scatophile.

>>164802876
how about sticking mostly to the left, but setting flags for what information a NPC knows when a question is answered. if certain information is known to an NPC, instead of returning back to "can I ask a question", they'll take the initiative and ask you a question that logically follows.

this way you can craft stuff like suspicion and curiosity and more personality in general, without turning the character interactions into cutscenes or textbox dispensers?

I'm smarter than you. Give up.

>>164803836
I literally deved circles around rotate and sourcefam is legally mentally retarded judging by his work. I have nothing to prove.

tfw you realize you got caught up in the interesting question and just gave good advice to lolisimdev

>>164803812
i agree it can get better, but i'll give the title background a more proper treatment sometime later
i need to focus on a bunch of other stuff before the ddd

>>164804163
Yeah, fair enough. Looking forward to it.

you're insane and you live in a fantasy world

>>164803934
>>164804250
Are you done spamming old posts from your crush yet?

>>164803738
No, I mean the sprites don't look like they're just standing there, they look like they're turning instead of just popping to face the proper direction. ex. a 30* angle sprite looks like more or less than the 30* angle facing.

maybe it wouldn't be noticeable in small corridors or something, but in the open it's disorienting.

>>164802989
I propose we place in the OP a short sentence about the shitposting and a link to the most up to date filter list

>>164801236
I don't think lua's perfect but just like anything else weirdness just becomes normalcy after a bit and lua's pretty good about not making things persistent issues

>like arrays are tables, which are objects but not really, and if you actually want a numerically-indexed array you have to create the keys ahead of time
If you have an array without any nils in it, that counts as an array every time, the create the keys ahead of time thing is just an optimization strategy, and not one that comes up super often imo

>and there's no string.split, you have to string.gmatch and regex it and there's apparently no character for new lines?
for simple string operations like that I just google and stick them in a "misc functions" file and move on. It's not as convenient as, say, python, but I have problems with how much stuff is built into python too so~. '\n' should work for newlines, I dunno what the problem is there.

>and all variables are global until proven otherwise, which is certainly simple but has fucked my debugging twice already
This is an actual problem, but this snippet:
http://metalua.luaforge.net/src/lib/strict.lua.html
can help by making it impossible to make a new global variable by assigning to it. That + luacheck catches almost 100% of the global/shadowing variable stuff for me ahead of time.

>>164804675
then the OP would be recursively filtered

>>164804587
Don't worry, I know what you meant.
>No, I mean the sprites don't look like they're just standing there, they look like they're turning instead of just popping to face the proper direction
that's just because there are too few sprites, that's all. You can't make a perfect impression with that small amount
Though it looks likd of misaligned
