Adding C++ stuff to Godot is actually pretty nice. You just add your class, the new build only takes 30 seconds on my toaster, and your class is immediately accessible from script and in the scene editor (if you want to). Only problem of course, you need to restart the editor every time, it would be nice if there were seperate reloadable code from DLLs

>>164835942
don't implement feedback just to prove a point to insane people, you have to actually agree with the feedback and it has to make sense for you to make the change. i.e if i'm giving feedback on placeholders just ignore it. like, if you have better things to do with your time then to make those plastic things not look so plastic, just do that.

you should really make a custom cursor. its easy for it to get lost.

never played an RTS, but do you really have to control all 4 chars at once in realtime? there's no way to set an option for ai to take control?

Good suggestion on the mouse thing, I'll look into making some more noticeable cursors. And yeah, I'm really big into the idea of having to play fast and micromanage everything.

>>164838035
This is a good point but I assume OP will implement hotkeys/grouping like in any RTS. If you can just press 1-2-3-4 and issue your commands it should be very efficient and could produce quite a high skill cap

>>164838102
>Do you mean after creating a new c++ module?
Yeah, after compilation. I mean it's just a minor nitpick, but if you could compile your module as a DLL plugin and then reload it in the editor that would be a real nicety, but it's not a big deal to have to restart.

No, I have only done the basics and done some performance comparisons, but it's really simple. If you follow the tutorial nothing can go wrong. You can still access all of the same classes with the same functions that you have in GDScript so from that perspective there isn't much to learn. If you inherit from Node, your class is automatically added to the list of nodes in the editor and you can just add it to your scene like any other node

It seems to me that for anything that is really code-heavy or data-heavy it is really better to use C++ for the element, but then use GDScript to organize the scene and call the appropriate functions. So some games (like platformers) don't need any C++ for sure, but in my game I have some algorithms and data processing and C++ is much more suitable to implement this than GDScript.

>>164838475
Fuck off nodev

>>164837664
my previous experience is php and javascript (yeah yeah) so coming from that it's certainly strange. lua has a ton of really weird stuff in it that works fine once you know it but will trip you up if you don't.

Like, tables are { objects } and they can contain literally anything at any index, but they can also act like [ arrays ] if you give them numeric indices, BUT to do that you have to actually for-loop a bunch of numbers into the keys and nils into the values. There's been a bunch of stuff like that, actually -- not broken or stupid or anything, just really weird coming from languages that have that built-in.

it's growing on me. there's a couple anons around who know it better than I do though, I was asking stuff here last night and people were much helpful

Think of your favourite games, what's more important, the gameplay or the graphics?

>>164838996
Use prototype assets.
It can be helpful to have assets that don't look like total dogshit to give a better idea of what the game might feel like in total.
And anyway, some games are very asset-dependent, others aren't. Like, as for a fighting game, there isn't really a game without assets

In a Tower Defense game, would it be a good idea to create a base level of health for each type of creep and then have each instance of a type roll for a small addition to that that scales as you get more rounds into the game? Or should all creeps of a type have a uniform amount of health?

So I'm finally getting around to getting an executable set up instead of making everyone use Java, but packr is giving me woe, anybody here used it successfully?

The packr.jar itself runs fine, it does create the executable and its support structures, but nothing happens when I actually run the exe. Testing with -c -v --console shows it simply opening an invisible command prompt and sitting there doing nothing.

Java was a mistake.
LibGDX was not worth it.
I miss C++ so much... ;_;

>>164841419
It doesn't seem like it would really add anything to the gameplay, besides throwing players a 'gotcha' at random when there's that one enemy that has slightly more HP than their placed towers can remove.
I would suspect that a lot of players would probably assume it was a bug, rather than something that was intended and some would probably accuse it of being artificial difficulty or the like.

If you wanted to do something like that I would suggest going the full hog and having randomly generated (or handbuilt, whatever) minibosses with different stats and abilities that the player has to counter with different strategies and towers.

Zelda is all about exploring but the battle itself is very basic when you think about it. How can you juice that up?

>>164843795
>>164843625

do you want more action rpg style like diablo or on the more cuhrayzee side like devil may cry?
you could do a mix of both in which case everything I mentioned is juicy for that

>>164843795
The original Legend of Zelda's combat is interesting and engaging due to the limited movement and the different items and weapons you could use against your enemies, not to mention each enemy behaved in a distinct manner that required the player to react appropriately.

I have yet to see an indie game replicate it.

The number 7 is just an arbitrary value I landed on, since +8 tile slopes started to seem too shallow for my taste (though not set in stone, I'd just have to make more tiles and change the maximum length of a slope from the tileset file).

Then I added in the capability to rotate tiles in the editor if they have the "isRotatable" flag, and collision map generation checks if the slope is left or right facing, which is then later checked by the collision checking code.

All this just because I want to make tilesets by hand and not have some weird artefacting happening from stretching or other such things.

Fair point. I usually propose the idea of an "Alpha Day" or "Free Playtesters Day" instead of a Demo Day, but I don't care anymore. I'm just happy that even if I don't have progress to show, at least /agdg/ becomes max comfy for 2-3 days.

>>164850876
3.5m isn't necessarily worse, it depends on the type of building. A small familiy house may have rooms of height 2.5m and .5m as floor/ceiling between them. Officetowers may have 3m high ceilings and 1m of floor between them, which has the the wiring hidden above those tiled office ceilings. Industrial buildings could easily have several floors connected into a hall and necessitate strong 2m floors to bear the load of heavy machinery. There could be crawlspaces for tubing and wiring as well, some of those are high enough to stand in, but don't count as a floor.

Better?

And the solution is retarded: Instead of setting Explosiveness to 0 in order to get a burst of particles at once, one has to set it to 0.01 (minimal value) to achieve that effect, else the shit described above occurs.

I trigger a burst of particles upon creation of the emitter, then delete it after the particles have reached their lifetime maximum. Basically using one-shot emitters. It works now as intended, but getting there made me buttmad.

Ah now I see what the problem is, just checked it in Godot. Seems like a bug


float restart_time = (i * lifetime / particle_count) * explosiveness;

bool restart=false;

if ( next_time < time ) {

if (restart_time > time || restart_time < next_time )
restart=true;

} else if (restart_time > time && restart_time < next_time ) {
restart=true;
}

I think one or more of these need to be >= to account for explosiveness = 0

Space. Without a doubt.

This >>164852984

>>164852774
Create a float variable, say action1Cooldown = 0.0f.
When you need to set the cooldown, set the variable to say 2.0f for 2 seconds.
Create a function:
void updateCooldowns(){
if(action1Cooldown > 0.0f)
action1Cooldown -= Time.DeltaTime;
}
And call this function in Update() or FixedUpdate(). This is probably the simplest way to do it.

>>164852984
>>164853025

Would you? I can think of many ways to make it work.

Any sort of space or general futuristic setting allows for fairly minimalistic environments, especially space ships and bases.
Also, if it's a side scroller, all you really need is ground, sky and a few props for the environment, especially if it's set in open areas a la mario.

>>164852774
Completely depends on the language and engine.
It helps to have coroutines and/or signals/events.
Have a central system that objects can call to receive a timed callback or resume execution.

The simplest possible implementation would be

yield(timer(delta))
or timer(delta).connect("function")

if your language/engine provides for it

File: Catgirl-bunnygirl-bubbles.webm (3MB, 640x480px) Image search: [Google]

The bunnygirl is now blowing bubbles on the beach. The idea I had for demoday is giving the demo a bit more interactivity than just running around shooting and jumping. So I thought it might be fun if the catgirl could shoot some bubbles. Just need to make the bubbles collide with the lines of water shots. Might extend the lines to make the hits more obvious.

There is actually a way to do this.
I found some games like worms use up down to aim by rotating the gun. That would maybe be the step up from this. I'm not sure yet how to do rotation and making a sprite sheet of full rotation graphics would be too resource intensive. But I considered it if I ever make a follow up game.

Idea for a videogame mechanic in a detective-style game:

The player (detective) is given a blurry security camera photo of the criminal. He has to describe the criminal to a computer using sliders for various qualities (nose width from skinny to wide, nose length from flat to long, ear size, skin color, etc.) and the game randomly generates a dozen or so possible criminals and then puts them on a graph with one of them being the actual criminal (not randomly generated). The game then uses the player's description with a k-nearest-neighbor algorithm and gets you a list of 10-15 criminals. If the player did well at describing the criminal, he shouldn't have to question too many dead end suspects before he gets to the real criminal. If he did poorly, he may have to try describing the criminal again.

A lot of companies use Unity. So being good at using Unity equates to maybe getting a job. The only time it'd turn to industry experience is if you got a job doing things making stuff in Unity in the industry.

What's it gonna be when it's grown up?

SDL2 devs... I'm working in C++, and I'm wondering what a good way to approach events/input would be to keep everything sort of contained. Like in my head it makes sense to separate mouse input, keyboard input and gamecontroller input.

Is using SDL_PollEvent(&event) essentially necessary in the main game loop? If so, what's a good way to separate out concerns? It seems wrong to have a big switch statement based on the different types of events that SDL exposes.

Any thoughts?

>>164862478

Create command which represent all of the commands. And map input to commands. So you have a function that process even (keyboard, mouse or joystick) and fill commands according.

I'm making a game for browser and I think it might also work on mobile so I try it out on my phone's browser and I see a problem with no mobile keyboards in my canvas so I change my code to bypass it and I see it and it plays right but the resolution is wrong and you also can't walk because no keyboard.

Path-Nav to points that the player clicks on. Or find a point near where they clicked on to path-nav to. Or you can give them on-screen buttons to hit or a UI-thumbstick to move around.

I want to see more physic based fighting games, so anyway this will be a step forward. So in that way I'm happy this project is supported by some important smash fan entities

Hi, this is your modeling teacher from college. A teacup and/or coffee mug.

Is there any point to developing a game like Hoplite or 868-HACK if I can only develop for the PC? I don't know if either could do well on this platform.

>>164863120
Yes. Last time I devved like I'm doing now was december 2015, but I hadn't used this name for a long while still.

What tablet? Looks nice.

There's no pathfinding for players, but I might make buttons for the directly near tiles. My main problem now is the resolution, 16x9, which I don't know how I'll get to, but I think I'll shave some tiles from the players' view.

So you're suggesting mapping every pertinent sdl_event type to a command, which then get forwarded to where they need to go?
How would you even approach the design of that?
A union of structs? Inheritance? Seems weird to me...

fucking awesome

Are you asking if a roguelike will do well on PC?

>>164864773
868-HACK sold 3k units despite being one of the best games in the genre.
