Reposting. TL;DR versions added because.

Umbrella Warriors
TL;DR: Good controls, good action, keep it up!
Man, this DD really starts good. Anon, I had fun. Real, genuine fun. The music is fun, the juice is fun, shooting shit is fun. I love the whole arcade style. I don't know if the sprites are intentionally this dumb looking or you can't do any better, but it didn't bothered me, moreover, it should be a sign to everyone: get your fucking pencils to work and produce fun you lazy fucks! Yeah, including me, but that's another story. When you jump and move forward, you are faster than simply walking, I guess you've made the usual mistake: you don't get your vector movement right, thus moving diagonal is faster. The story is cheesy, but in a way that it doesn't make any sense. First you talk about aliens, then suddenly go-go Umbrella warriors. Have I missed something? Are the aliens the small crocodiles? Are the Umbrella warriors from another dimension or are they man made robots? What is happening? I haven't asked this much about written text since I picked up Heidegger. Keep it up! I used a controller by the way.

Hey guys, as I said I would, I have submitted my game to the Demo Day.
Some people like direct links, so here you go.
https://twingemgames.itch.io/sledfree2

For people that saw my older posts, I have update the game to include some minor changes to the game based on the feedback I received. The difficulty now increases over time in Original mode and the racer's can't catch up quite as well in Race mode. There is still no gamepad support. I forgot, sorry.

If you missed my first post, then this is the post I was talking about when I said you'd have more chances to see a post from me.

If you missed the last posts and never see this post, sorry bro.

Monolith
TL;DR: Juice - The game.
Seriously, man. Your game made me wet at places I didn't know I can get wet. The opening is juicy, the game over screen is juicy, the fucking pause screen, THE PAUSE SCREEN is also juicy! It's like, damn. I feel so sorry for your loved ones. You should call them sometimes, you know. I think they consider you dead by this point. I mean, the amount of time and effort which went to this is simply amazing and incredible, and makes me wonder what was the last occasion you saw the Sun. But, again: the setting doesn't make any sense. Something blows up, then you are this space ship entering some facility, then a sudden boss fight happens, which is not a boss fight after all, and, damn, guys, what the heck? Stephen Hawking explains quantum physics in a way even dumb fuck like me can understand, yet you fail to establish the reason why I shoot flying skulls in a post apocalyptic environment? Get your shit together. besides, it looks like the same game, so I don't know what you expect me to say what I haven't really told you last time. Oh, yes: thank you for scaling the crosshair with the window!

Bonelord
TL;DR: Good idea, not fun execution.
Well, I like concept of having an army while you have a main character to guide them. WarCraft 3 was fun, so was the necromancer from Diablo 2, but sadly, the execution here is not. Why do I have to press 1 then the mouse to execute the spell? Why don't you let me bind the spell to the mouse? So I would press 1, then as long as I don't choose another spell, let me use that. It made everything tedious. I couldn't figure out the bone mechanic. Sometimes I could pick up bones, sometimes I could not. For the love of all holy, I couldn't figure out how to summon heads. Besides, the skeletons often hug the walls. Here, read this: https://unisalesianogames.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/programming-game-ai-by-example-mat-buckland2.pdf

TL;DR: A bad implementation of a good idea.
I really want to like this game, but I can't, because there's just so many small annoyances. Yes, it nice looking, the sounds are fun, the puzzles are good. But. Why there's no undo? I know it's possible to have one, since I've just finished implementing mine yesterday (for real). Restarting the level because you accidentally wall hugged a box is not fun. If you don't want to implement undo, then don't allow constant movement, or make checkpoints, so I don't have to start from all over again if I have already managed to put some cubes into places. The 3D. Why? Really, I like the idea, but this is an essential part of all puzzle games: let the player know everything right from the start! The only task the player supposed to have in a puzzle game is to, you know, put the presented pieces together. If I have to rotate the camera just to see every hidden shit in a 3D space, that's not puzzle solving, that's doing mindless shit until something happens. There's a very good game hidden in this, but your focus is not on the right places.

Dig
TL;DR: It didn't start.

Super Space Jam Jetpack Robot Turbo
TL;DR: I couldn't play it.
I've started to make a special bond with this game, but for some reason, I can play less and less with each iteration. This time I couldn't figure out how to shoot. I mean, how could this happen? I was pressing Z like my life depended on it, but it only made this clicking sound, like my ammo was out or something. I like the visual style, I hope there'll be more story later. I love the whistling gimmick. It really put a smile on my face. I love how you slowly descend if you stop pressing up. I was waiting for that from the beginning. Keep it up, anon!

Tyranny 3000
TL;DR: Nice alpha game.
Um, I don't know what to say, since there's not too much to talk about. Nice alpha, I guess. It's weird to control with the mouse, but maybe it'll be different when there's other stuff in it. See you next time!

x64.exe
TL;DR: Nice alpha game.
Yes, I will call your game like that you lazy piece of fucking garbage. Fuck you. I don't care if it has a name on the itch.io page. I won't go back and figure it out. Other than that, I really like your sprites, and you have a good idea for a game. I love RTS games where I have to control a small group instead of building a huge army. You'll really have to figure out what is the best and most intuitive way to control this. It's good, so far, but there needs to be more content and level to do it fair justice. Yes, I couldn't kill the wolf. Keep it up!

Dino Sorcerer
TL;DR: Nice alpha game.
Wait, what? Dino? I always thought it's a cat. But anyway. Having only one life then it's all back to the beginning is just too punishing. It's nice that I can pick up one reward at the end, but it's quite meaningless if I don't know what it does. I just blindly make choices here. I like your sprites and the fog, but the resolution bakes it seem like your game is broken. It's hard to explain. The crosshair just looks different by each inch I move it, for example. Like the engine can't figure out how to scale up your pixels. It definitely has more content since last time, so I'm happy for your progress.

SledFree2
TL;DR: Nice finished game. A good example how to practice game dev by fully executing and exploring a single idea.
I don't know if you have changed anything since its first release, so maybe I'm just projecting, but it felt harder than the last time I tried it, so thanks for that! If anyone would like to know: this is a perfect example of a comfy game. Just sliding down the hill in your cozy jacket on your sledge which you got from your grandpa, then you get back in, sit down next to the fire place to let your mother's sweet hot chocolate warm you from the inside. I like your drawing style. Be proud of yourself: you have managed to finish a game. Best of luck for you in the future! By the way: won't you finish Cony Chaos? I liked that OC.

Card Tactix
TL;DR: Good idea, feels weird, don't know why.
Like always: I like your idea and your game, yet something is weirdly off, and I don't know what it is. I guess you want to turn it into a turn based game, but it does not have that feeling, since most of the time I move where I want and cast as many spells as I want. Okay, sometimes the monster interrupts me, but don't know why. After every 2nd spell cast maybe? Or do I have some sort of mana pool? I like the idea that I'm walking around and do battles with cards, but, I don't know. Sorry for the lack of good advice. Since I always draw the same cards it makes me question why I don't have a regular spell bar. I guess it'll get more complex as the game progresses on. Maybe letting the player put together his own deck? Keep it up!

Tussle
TL;DR: I couldn't play it.
I couldn't figure out how to navigate in the menu. I literally started to press every button on the keyboard until I ended up in a game world. I could walk around and fall off. After I fell of, my character automatically started to float to the left, until I pressed something. I guess that's a bug. Well, keep it up, it would be nice to have a fighting game. Sorry for me sucking this much, but using more than arrows+enter/mouse in a menu is beyond my comprehension.

Placeholder Title
TL;DR: I couldn't play it, and it makes me ashamed of myself.
I opened the spell inventory, and couldn't figure out how to close it. I restarted the game. In any other occasions, I would just drop this, but since you have a special corner in my heart, I've given it another chance. I like that I can punch guys in the air why I'm also flying with them. It was fun until I didn't opened up that screen again.

That's it for now. I just opened the game list page at around 10 and downloaded everything, so maybe there are more entries. I'll check back later.

>>164948564
Thanks feedback-bro. I'm glad to see the setting really resonated with you, you seem to understand exactly what I was going for.
I do want to come back to Cony Chaos. Mithril Miner too. I've added quite a bit to the design documents for both of them since I released them, but right now my main focus is God's Gift and I don't think any of the games would get the effort they deserve if I tried to do them all at once. Here's hoping that some day there's a fully developed version of Cony Chaos.

It's not that I can't come up with comfy game ideas, but I can't think them through. Some examples
>a game where you sail from island to island, with a similar feel like Zelda WW
Okay, but then what? What do you do on the islands? What do you do after you've visited all islands?
>a city building/managing game like Stronghold
So you build woodcutters, hunters, apple pickers, houses, then what happens? No idea.
>fishing game
You fish, and then what do you do with it?
>flower raising game
>Again, you plant, water, etc a flower, then what? You sell it to buy what? New seeds? I don't know.
>witch potion brewing game
>You gather ingredients, make the potion for the costumer, then what? what od you do with the money? Buy more ingredients? No clue.

YOU'RE DOING IT BROSKI !!
YOU'RE THINKING CREATIVELY !!

All you have to do now is follow those ideas with more ideas, and you've already proven you can do that

> What do you do on the islands?

your original starting point was "what do you do ???" and now you've narrowed that down to "there are islands and a boat and an ocean between them." all you need now is to do the same thing you just did where you came up with a bunch of ideas, except they're all oceans and islands related

maybe the islands have fighters on em for you to punch, maybe the islands have trees on em for you to cut down and turn into bigger boats, maybe the islands have ruins on em you can climb all over

you're literally doing it
you just need to keep doing it

>>164949921
>What do you do on the islands?
Mechanic based puzzles with treasure rewards.
>What do you do after you've visited all islands?
Use the treasure rewards to unlock the final treasure.

City building games have all the gameplay in the city building, so that already seems like enough.

You've got the right idea for progression with the rest of them. Just allow the player to unlock more/better things as they succeed.

>>164949921
You have stopped asking for ideas and are now pretty much asking for someone to design a game for you so you can then mash out the work on it. The ideas are fine and lend themselves to a few (if not many more) possibilities. But try to do some of that legwork yourself now. No one, unless they are really bored, is going to design a game for you. Not even being mean, just trying to let you know why this is a useless question (mainly because you just don't like the valid answers you are getting).

>>164949921
ideas are just an idea. building the actual game around the idea is your job.

I figured my game needs more fluids. So now characters can puke as well.

This happens if they are under a lot of stress/panic, or if you throw shit at them (literally).

If another character sees this, they panic. So the mom panicked and then she got puke on herself, which made her puke too. Then the kid accidentally fell on the knife head first and beheaded himself.

Fun thing is, that "fluid" is physics based and you can make rocket propelled heads almost.

>>164951817
I don't know if Spriter or Spline is better.
ClickTeam Fusion is garbage.
Hexels is neat, but is anyone going to make a game with that art style?
The rest is extra ClickTeam garbage, plus some more Spriter stuff.
Pyxel Edit is good.
Voxatron and Pico-8 are both cute, but not really for making a full game. They're more for little hobby things.

Overall I'd say the pack is okay but not really all that useful.

my puzzle platformer shader adventure is up. We didn't get a chance to make a tutorial, and there is only one level right now. All the mechanics are in though!

I think I'll post a second build near the end of demo day. Feedback welcome!

I have a problem in Unity... I imported a model and try to give this model a path, however, in the position and rotation of the object is completely different than my unimported models in Unity somehow.

My Player object for example is at Position/Rotation 0/0, but the imported model is at a totally different place, although it has the same coordinates actually.

Is it me or did you tone down the enemies a little bit, shooting-wise? I remember the game being harder.

>>164952804
>projecting

I'm finding it really hard to make AI for my game with simultaneous turns. I've realised that I'll probably need to cheat a bit and let enemies know where the player is about to move to, but I can't really figure out exactly what sort of patterns they should be following to be fun and varied. So far the enemy that moves to where the character is at the start of the turn with some variation of over/undershooting it and the one that fires a projectile somewhere between where the player is and will be seem the most successful. The totally random one is really annoying and is not suitable for an actual enemy, or a common one at least.

It's a neat idea, by the way. I tried to talk to the computer in case it gives me an upgrade like most computers do in Metroid games. I didn't think I could go down there, since there's a line on the ground, and my senses told me that it's a ground.

I also liked that opening sequence with the black and withe room, even if I don't see its purpose yet.

I was hoping to teach one way platforms at that point by using the enemy to encourage the player to go down. But if its not clear that they can go down that is a problem. Maybe I should instead use another safe room and have another character cross it first? I'd like to animate the doctor a bit in the beginning anyway.

You can squeeze a fair bit out of Java if you avoid object allocation like the plague it is, eventually you reach the point where you just wish you'd started with C/C++ though.

Enemies haven't changed mechanically, but I did reposition them when I threw together a script to export objects and lights from blender instead of doing it by hand, so they're not quite as bullshit ambush-ey as before

>>164953363
That's exactly what I'm going for, I'm glad people get the vibe. I'm at the point where I'm happy with the mechanics so barring some bugfixes, I'm mostly going to just be adding more weapons, enemies, and levels now.

Yeah, I'm regretting Java hard but it's too late to go back and rewrite everything now, I've tried to use as old a version of OpenGL as I can to keep it compatible but that only helps so far when I'm fighting LibGDX's internal batching as well.

Here's the updated version, animating the hands is hard when he doesn't have any shoulders. This represents at least 3 hours of work ;_;

13 frames total, first and last frame are identical. I need to create a spritesheet from this by making each image opaque (remove canvas) and identically spacing each frame out. Right? Then I just gotta make sure the engine can map out the texture correctly.

It uses the standard zxc button layout by default, but can change it to whatever you like. I don't think that's really all that unheard of. Why would I add mouse navigation to a game that doesn't have any mouse input at all?

As for the game itself, it's smash bros. Without an opponent there's not too much to do. Noted about the respawn bug. Looks like you keep your momentum if you die while holding a direction. I've managed to fix that.

All the ones you listed is fine. What I said stems mainly from GameMaker's built in language (GML). You can still learn some logic with it but you can also get away with terrible coding practice because it is so forgiving. So it is perfectly fine for making small games but won't take you too far ( and maybe even in terrible directions) when it comes to actual coding. If you have the drive to learn and apply you will be just fine, anon. Don't worry too much about it. Goodluck to you!

Posted this a few days ago, but the only reply I got said you weren't working on the game anymore, so I'm not sure if you have changed something for DD12 since then.

- Tutorial levels feel a little slow, unless you intentionally wanted it to be slow paced you should make it a little bit faster to get through so is less tedious, I'm thinking about details like making the doors easier to break at the start and gradually getting stronger as you advance on the game.
- Not sure if it is inteded to be that way but summons have a hard time following me and usually get stuck. Makes you go back for them a lot and sometimes you can't really unstuck them.
- A health indicator for summons would be useful. Nothing too complicated or fancy, maybe change the color of their aura to red when they are low on HP. Would work great with the Mend skill.
- Enemies dying and summons dying need distinctive sound effects. Maybe have the the enemies screaming?

2) University. Only programming I did before was with RPG maker 2000 when I was about 12. Never did anything after that till studying though (except for like one course in high school, where we learned visual basic or some shit).
3) It's going alright I guess. I'm just slowed down a bit thinking about how shit the indie scene around here is and whether I really wanna do that to myself. If I actually go through with this I'd be an absolute fucking outsider. Especially with my attitude towards the IGDA. Also self-employment is an absolutely unaffordable mess around here.

These are just overly intrusive callbacks. Why should every "observable" object have a list of what are essentially callbacks, which leads to tons of duplication and boilerplate, rather than just one callback that could handle the broadcasting to a list?

Design patterns were invented to help other people understand existing heavily OOP Java code. That's why most of them would be trivial constructs with good support for functional programming (like Strategy, Command, Visitor, Observer, Factory, etc.) or are simply useless (like Singleton).

The good ones like Builder or Decorator are so simple that they're not even really worth noting. If the code is easy to understand in the first place you don't need to name it by a design pattern to help others.

>>164956519
>you just described notifiers, i agree they are better than observers, but observers can help with logging/io and other things that need to be applied by different objects
The only difference between so-called "notifiers" and observers is that observable objects maintain their own lists of observers. Most languages make this impossible (for good reason) without either straight up duplication or repeated boilerplate, because you don't have multiple inheritance and then you're fucked if you want multiple things that can be observed by different sets of observers.

If the observable thing stores a callback, you can put the logic of broadcasting the event to every observer (another callback) in a list into that callback, and what's more you can reuse it easily as a combinator.

>the point of components is class polymorphism
The point of components is composition. Are you saying classes lead to clusterfucks? I agree but I don't think that helps your point.

>If the observable thing stores a callback, you can put the logic of broadcasting the event to every observer (another callback) in a list into that callback, and what's more you can reuse it easily as a combinator.
Sounds like notifiers to me: one observer which does the full range of callbacks

Which is funny cause you are basically decoupling observers, a design pattern

>The point of components is composition.
Yeah, but good implementation of composition is to make a base component which various implementations inherit, so then you can switch through them at runtime and get different behaviours

>Are you saying classes lead to clusterfucks? I agree but I don't think that helps your point.

No, the opposite, fewer classes means more branching in a single file, more classes means smaller files and more understandable code, which means less bugs, or at least more confined and easy to figure if you do appropiate testing

I am using this script to destroy stuff which moves out of my boundary, ie camera view. However, it only works for my player shots somehow, but not for the enemy objects... Any idea why this is not working the enemies? is it perhaps because I sent them out of the boundary through an animation and not by script?

The difference is that it's now not a pattern, it's a reusable function. "Pattern" should always raise eyebrows because it indicates lack of code reuse.

>Yeah, but good implementation of composition is to make a base component which various implementations inherit, so then you can switch through them at runtime and get different behaviours
Not necessarily. But it's not like FP doesn't have a notion of dynamic dispatch. First class functions are basically the concept of dynamic dispatch boiled down and made into a feature.

>No, the opposite, fewer classes means more branching in a single file, more classes means smaller files and more understandable code, which means less bugs, or at least more confined and easy to figure if you do appropiate testing
This is true for abstraction in general, not just classes. And classes are a comparatively poor means of abstraction.

is it true that releasing demos of your game is detrimental? in that players could see the current version as the final product and write your game off.

basically it can give off a bad impression.

thanks anon wavedash is coming along great we have a lot of great archetypes like the quick bruiser and sword user with lots of swift movements and also an interesting take the "space animal class" our archetypes are similar to those you would in your traditional RPG like archer mage knight and tank

we got a ton of great feedback on reddit and are looking to release our game with 8 characters by the end of this year

>Code duplication.
Depends if the subject is static or not desu, anyways i dunno if object duplication is code duplication perse, you are not writing the same twice, maybe you are initializating stuff more than once, but you can trump that with singletons/static classes

>The difference is that it's now not a pattern, it's a reusable function. "Pattern" should always raise eyebrows because it indicates lack of code reuse.
a reusable function is a design pattern

>First class functions are basically the concept of dynamic dispatch boiled down and made into a feature.
I honestly know almost 0 of FP, but as far as i've seen its all about reutilizable patterns and clever recursion

>This is true for abstraction in general, not just classes. And classes are a comparatively poor means of abstraction.
Can't argue with this, you are right, but designs patterns are not necesarilly about classes, its a way of thinking code in reusable chunks instead of in a purely imperative fashion, a pure class approach to them comes from thinking in Java

>>164957894
Just make it clear that it's not the final product. There are enough people who believe that a beta release of the game could basically change entirely that I don't think you'll have an issue.

>you are not writing the same twice
I suppose you could use composition, so that instead of writing object.addObserver(...) you do object.event.addObserver(...), and event is an instance of a class that encapsulates the list under a simple API. But now this means that you can do object.event.fire(...) which is probably not what you want!

In order to prevent that, you need the object itself to encapsulate the observer list and that involves boilerplate. Unless you make the object only have a single callback and put the observer list inside that callback, that is.

>a reusable function is a design pattern
No, it's not. If it's reusable code, you only have to read it once to understand it. A design pattern is something that you might see common to many pieces of code that will help you understand all of them if you understand the pattern.

I have a code here which makes enemies face my player object. However, I can only use this code when not using it in a prefab. But I need to use it for prefabs. How can I do this? In the Inspector, I can not put the Player object as the target from the hierarchy, when I try to use the code on a prefab enemy. the enym always has to be in the hierarchy too, but I can't do this, because I need to spawn multiple enemies and destroy them, but when the enemy in the hierarchy gets destroyed, I can't spawn any copies of it anymore. I need a prefab for this.

thanks for feedback, anon
faster movement while jumping is an intentional choice, your top speed is just faster in the air at the cost of quick acceleration as a risk-reward sort of deal. i think that it's alright, because due to characters' low speed on ground jumping doubles as a sideways dodge maneuver, but i'll look into making changes that would make it feel more natural to more people.
i'll eventually swap out the intro for something better, more comprehensible and that covers more shit, but this is a pretty low priority change right now.

No. Some languages have things that can handle it though. Nested classes in C#, friends in C++. Though its probably better to use an interface, interfaces are basically just boilerplate.

You could add a small cloud of dust when not doing a straight vertical jump. Could give it that illusion of speed.

Because it's a waste of time? If he doesn't know about design patterns, he might "reinvent" a bad one, but I'll criticize his code on its merits and not simply by reference to a design pattern.

>inheritance
Most languages have single inheritance which means now you can't use inheritance any more for that class. And it won't help if you want multiple sets of observers for a single object.

>>164959905
arghh, I was not feeling it was ready for public beta yet

Rip. Sorry about the spider.

You can tell defensive action commands trigger because of a different blocking animation.

Enemy damage is static and only changes when blocking.

Thats why notifiers are better than observers
Anyways, by inheritance i don't mean the observer inheriting from the subject, i mean the observers inheriting from a base observer and the subjects inheriting from a base subject, therefore you leave all the observing-functionality code in those classes and just override the update method of each one

>Because it's a waste of time?

does the blocking have different values then? the ant had done 1, 2, and 3 damage all in the same battle with the same attack.

but like i said, good work. again, my main gripe was how weird it was to land bee's action command. fooled around with it a bit and ended up doing the extra damage more often when i pressed A before the prompt lit up.

also, i noticed that dropped items from one fight dont exist after the next. for instance, if youre fighting a mushroom and it drops some berries, getting into another fight will make those berries disappear.

>cause threading / observing without interrumpting, aka, after the observed function has finished
How does a "notifier" fix this? The only way to do this without any interruption is to write to an event buffer that is then read instead of firing off the callback inline. Not that you can't use callbacks without side effects, though at that point typically you wouldn't call them callbacks but just functions.

that is what notifiers basically are, queues, the point of "classing" them is to use them more safely, see this: http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/event-queue.html

>It took a while, but most of us learned the hard way that global variables are bad. When you have a piece of state that any part of the program can poke at, all sorts of subtle interdependencies creep in. This pattern wraps that state in a nice little protocol, but it’s still a global, with all of the danger that entails.

In the spawner code, after instantiate, you can use another send message call to a set target method, defined like the set name method that's already there.

You'll need to add another public field to the wave spawner and give it the player, and pass that reference to the enemy by using sendmessage.

I can't give any examples because I'm not about to try to make properly formatted C# on a phone but you should be able to follow the examples in place. Remember that you're passing an object pointer just like how the spawner is passing a name.

That isn't what I mean either, I mean instead of having a callback stored the "subject" has an event queue that it writes to and "observers" read from.

>What did you mean then?
I meant exactly as I said. If you're working in a language with single inheritance, then you can use inheritance to make Observer a little nicer but only if you're not using inheritance to make anything else nicer. And even with multiple inheritance, you can't use inheritance for multiple sets of observers.

Yes it is, read it again, the subject calls a Notifier.add(notification) function that adds notification into a queue, finish its function, then you call each observer's .update() function by which they check if there's new notifications, or you can call a Notifier.update() and have it call the observers listening function if there's anything to listen to, if you go this way you can even implement this with a linked-list of sorts and decouple the Notifiers by area via inheritance

>but only if you're not using inheritance to make anything else nicer
Ahhh but you can have a class that inherits a class that inherits a class that inherits a class that inherits a class that...

For example, base has logging/io, observer-base inherits base, then observer's implementation inherits observer-base, then notifier calls observer's-base functions and observer's implementation overrides observer's-base .update()

Do you not know what a static light is, sourcefam?

That's basically the same thing but dualized and then OOPized.

So you can't use Observer without logging and I/O.
