I'm done reviewing for today. Have 3 videos uploading, first one should be done in about 20 minutes and the rest should take about that long to upload.
Here's a playlist link. The videos that are listed as deleted are actually still uploading, so check back in an hour or so to watch them all if you want to.

>>165207660
Well that depends on how "like ours" it is. Our design is pretty large scope for 2 people, but we also haven't shown half of what's planned. You can make a metroidvania that doesn't have all the design challenges Clarent does. If you haven't already made simpler games I would recommend aiming for something smaller.

You might get shitposted, but you'll also find help.

Monthly reminder that I do read the feedback and suggestions form submissions on the information repo site, so if you want something added or changed just let me know.
People keep asking for a collab tool but that sounds weird I'd rather work on my game probably.

>>165208908
Ask away

>>165209030

Sounds like a good strategy.
Simply put, I'm looking to make a game, 2d platforming, skill-based arena type game, local/online-multiplayer supported. Similar to nidhogg, but the combat mechanics themselves would be very different.
There are SHITTONS of ways to get started, from scraping shit together from the very start using C to using Game Maker.

What would be the best engine to learn and begin project? Perhaps it might be helpful to mention that in the future, I want to make RPG games with non-standard mechanics if I manage to complete something for once.

>>165209378
You really have to ask yourself what your looking for. MonoGame is great if your familiar with C#/XNA. If you want something bulkier maybe try Unity. Ask yourself what resources you need and what language you want to use, then go from there. Ease of use and documentation should also be taken into account. I personally recommend MonoGame.

>>165209378
Game Maker might be fine for that kind of thing but I really don't have experience with it. Otherwise I would recommend unity. There's definitely reasons to dislike unity but there so many resources out there for any question you'll run into and if you make just about any kind of game with it so learning how to use it wont go to waste.

All that being said, I'm a scrub too so ..

Looks functional.

Might want to add a more dramatic vertical motion. When you contact, to drive down vertically a bit before pushing back up.

Lack of vertical movement makes it kind of boring, but it should be a FUN game mechanic.

I am pretty comfortable with Javascript, I can work with Java and I've just learned the bare basics of C#.

I guess that's as good of a starting point as any. I'm massively concerned about how live multiplayer works, programming-wise but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Time to start googling. MonoGame or Unity might be a good place to start.

Not going to act like I know anything, but last time I checked, wasn't JFrame and Swing notoriously bad or at least annoying for some reason or another?
It felt like every time I mentioned it to some programmer or dev they would groan or give some cautionary tale about why it sucks ass.

Depends how much damage rewriting those systems will do. If it's something fairly self-contained then it wont' matter, but if it's got it tendrils everywhere then it may be worth restarting
If you do rebuild from scratch, make a plan first and have the major features written down. That way you'll have to rewrite less this time. I didn't with >>165211992 and it gave me a lot of headaches

Yeah, one of the reasons I'm considering starting from scratch is the fact that a lot of key features are built on sticks and if I take them out and rewrite them carelessly I'm gonna ruin other shit

Skylarks guy here. I rewrite shit all the time. Right now I'm in the middle of reorganizing ALL my components and systems after changing some of the fundamental parts at the heart of my engine.

On the one hand it's critical to have experience in game development you can learn from, and if this is your first big project then this is the first time you can make the necessary mistakes. On the other hand you don't want to be caught in a perpetual death spiral of infinite rewrites. It's just a tightrope you have to walk while leaving the animal behind and becoming more than human. Or something.

> if it looks so shit its good, you'll be complimented

Examples?

When you're playing an FPS game and you look up, there's a point when you're looking straight up into the sky where your character stops going any further. What is this called? It's also used when looking straight down as well. I'd like to read into it.

If looking straight forward is 0° and exact up is 90° and exact down is -90°, then I imagine that implementing this is just a matter of limiting the Y-axis to just 90 on both ends.

I was on the left side and I think he did some sort of attack that pushed me backwards or walked into me and then it just transitioned to the next room so it might be just like you said.

>>165214007

Wouldn't it be a cool mechanic when the boss could punch you a room back and follow you?
Maybe as an desperation attack which deals a huge amount of damage if it connects but can be avoided

If you want to induce rage let the boss punch you a room away, which resets its HP back to full.

>>165215618
Which can punch you into a breakable wall where a another chest is located

>>165215792
which is a mimic

>>165215792
Both chests are mimics, and finding each other they engage in a mating ritual. You have time to escape, but you don't as you're enraptured by the fascinating display. Both parents die in the end, and when the newborn mimic emerges it imprints you as it's mother, and proceeds to follow you around for the rest of the game. Then as you reach the end, it's post-puberty primal urges finally kick in, and it realizes its true purpose, at which point it kills you and deletes your file and calls the cops with a picture of a naked loli that you most certainly have somewhere in your internet cache.

>Also to avoid the game feeling empty, it'd definitely be cool to have a lot of secrets that reward players for exploring around so much. It also gives it more value; the trick is to make the player laugh at the cheap graphics, but have the game itself feel FAR from cheap through the amount of quality content inside of it.

I want to finish what I'm currently doing before starting something else, especially if it's that, since 3D gamemaker 8 is not sustainable dev by any means, so I would have to start over in Unity or something. I never intended for it to be more than an experiment and joke anyways.

Well, they're both human and wearing the same type of uniform/suit, so there's not much more you can do to make them different, imo.
I'm not going to make every character a crazy cyborg thing, and I'm not a fan of TF2 type ultra-exaggerated cartoony features.

I have (at least) three more characters, and one will get a robotic arm of some sort, and one will be a bit thin and lanky.

Any other suggestions for characteristics I might use?

The first option is more fulfilling to play, imo, especially if the puzzles are difficult. But it's really just a matter of opinion. I tend to approach games which give you options to solve puzzles in a really mechanical, one-minded way (in Dishonored I basically just used blink). Maybe I'm just not creative

What are you smoking?
I remember seeing posts about him working on this in 2014 or earlier

I'm taking intermittent breaks from devving and doing other stuff (like work) to play through the Demo Day games that seem like I might like them. I haven't played any of these before. I don't remember seeing many or any posts about some of them, but others I've been following, and I'm trying not to let either case color my judgment.
For today we have:

Monolith: I see what you're going for and you're hitting the nail on the head. It's not my type of game, but you're nailing it. There's one problem though, the graphics, at least on the first level, are really samey (and drab on top of that). I know there's only so much you can do with procedural generation but having a near-monotone color palette is not one of them.

Jack and Casie: Where's the pause key, and why can't I manage items while paused, or even scroll through them? I can see you put some good work into the writing, but I have no chance to appreciate it, or to get my bearings before I'm auto-walked into a fight or during a fight. It's not really my kind of game unless it changes pretty drastically after the first fight, but I would've stuck with it longer if the pressure wasn't so high.

GunMetal: This one is my kind of game. The demo is pretty sparse and samey but I see what you're going for and you're hitting the target so far. There's two problems, one might be on me. I couldn't for the life of me get to the farthest platform in the parkour section, I nearly got to the second to last one once. The other problem is bigger: the kick function doesn't work, at all. Pressing that key does nothing. Maybe it has to do with me rebinding it, but that's still shoddy. Also, you probably realize this, but the visuals are going to need to be spruced up (or should I say, sanded down) before this ships. It's not the good kind of low-poly, currently; I think something at least circa-2005-quality would fit the game.

I'm out of time and out of room to post, so more tomorrow and the following days.

Man, once you need branching logic, Blueprints just completely shit the bed and make things extremely complicated.

>>165224337
Not calling you a liar, anon. Just that it was a picture I had saved back at the date I specified and at the time he was asking for comment/critique on the design of the character.

Do you have any earlier progress from him around the year you mentioned? Would be interesting to see, but I honestly don't remember anything from him before last year at the earliest.

I can understand being vigilant calling out whodevs but I think you can call back the bloodhounds

>>165224694
Only one person tried to say that about him. The conversation that followed after was just about having seen his progress before, saying he is, in fact, NOT a whodev.

Thinking of moving to Gamemaker 2, I hear it's just like 1 but with a prettier IDE, optimization tweaks, and improvements to GML. What's the word on it?

Are giant 5D arrays overkill?
Trying to figure out the best way to optimize reading and writing large sets of numbers

>>165224797
The most important thing to remember is that any modules you bought for GM:S will not move over to GMS2 and you will have to buy them all again.

>>165224694
It's fucking absurd that we needed to have an investigation because someone made some progress posts.

>>165224926
Yeah I realize that, but I'm only interested in Linux / Mac / Windows and they're all bundled together as one "Desktop" module that's the base GM2, so it's not that big a deal.

>>165225437
yes

been experimenting with saving/loading modified chunks, but right now it's really slow with a chunkdata object for each chunk. I've got a few ideas besides that 5d array which I think will work a lot better

>>165224591
That doesn't really address what I just said. The nature of visual scripting can sometimes turn what would be a handful of lines into something much more convoluted to set up. Even something as simple as a while loop is awkward looking. You can go crazy with Macros and Functions, but that's more like covering up the problem.

The real solution is to write those code snippers in C++.

>>165207660

Slow ?! The dude has made amazing progress since the first time I saw it. Yes it's gonna be a bigger undertaking that you think it is. It always is in gamedev.

>>165228727
Well to be honest I don't really know where to begin. Like I said above, I just want to make a small game that's like 95 percent menus and a bit of overworld. I was learning Unreal blueprints but once I get to an issue that has little to no documentation I get stuck. People tell me to use Game Maker instead because no 3D, but I literally don't know any coding so I feel like that would leave me worse off.

>>165229189

whats your issue anon

>>165229189
well I use unity so that's all I can help with. Gamemaker is easy to learn for non programmers, and it's surprisingly good for 2D stuff.

Do you guys have a multi-monitor setup, or ultrawide, or a single 16:9?
Do you use the latest and greatest or do you look for budget monitors on sale?
IPS with accurate colors but slow response time? Or TN panel with silly fast refresh rate but bad, washed out colors?
1080p? 1440p? 4K?

Do you guys prioritize image quality or speed and performance? Does it depend on the game you're making?

(Nodevs are not required nor encouraged to reply)

>>165229521
Not how a bunch of us would like it to.
It has script resources, which are called like methods, but they're a separate resource from the objects and any object can call any script from anywhere.
Because of this there's no overloading and it doesn't take advantage of inheritance to its full extent.

>>165229527
Are you happy, anon? That's the real question.

>>165229189

The artists at work are in the middle of transitioning to the HP DreamColor Z32x. They're pretty nice. I think they each get 2.

Us programmers are stuck with regular pleb monitors though for now.

>>165229758
What ever gets the job done on the budget.
I have dual 1080p consumer grade TN panels. they're enough for me, but for sticklers for colour they're a problem.

I would say that dual monitors are almost a necessity, and if you're using a desktop, there's no reason not to have at least two monitors. Even a junk 4:3 old monitor, for a browser for documentation, or something else.

A lack of a second monitor is my biggest gripe when working on my laptop.

>>165221963
downwell?

>>165229772
Do you have any advice on devving with GM:S(/2) and creating maintainable code? All the tutorials I read just stick a ton of code scripts on step events in objects and toss around a ton of global constants everywhere like they don't give a fuck about anything and I can't find any good guidelines on how to set up a project and develop it "cleanly".

I'm sort of getting the idea that I should use scripts for most things, have few parent objects and generate game objects with scripts using the parent objects as a base, as well as using objects as global game systems?

>>165229924
of course not, i'm on AGDG.

It's always going to be hard to keep track of everything in Game Maker. Using inheritance and scripts does help reduce repetitive code, but it's still going to happen.

You just gotta find what's good for you, like if you really wanted you could code the whole game from a singe object.

>>165230015
for medium - large games you really need to play ahead in GMS else it becomes a real fucking mess real quick
You can use parents and scripts as pseudo-classes like in c# etc. In Frost all enemies use an object called oEnemyParent that is used for collision detection and handles death/damage/generic stuff. Each enemy object calls a couple of scripts in their Create event that sets up stats, some basic state information, movement types, etc. It's a really extendable system, if clunky

>>165230461
Why? It's just a tool.

>>165230539
It just has a friendlier layout, and from what I've seen, programming in gamemaker seems a bit easier. Again, I'm unity only so that's just what I've picked up from being here

>>165230591
I managed to pick the one fucking gif that doesn't have any enemy in it

>>165230591
Ok, that's what I planned on doing. I have the entire game scope and mechanics planned out, and it isn't that big. Maybe a medium-sized game. I figure I can have an o_enemy parent that deals with generic stuff like loot dropping, death, and then use scripts to generic specific types of monsters based on game variables like dungeon floor level, etc.

Can I ask how you're doing different "types" of enemy attacks with a system like that? Like if I have an o_monster parent and I want one monster to attack by running into the player and one monster to attack by shooting at the player, and they both have different animation sets, what's the best way to do that?

>>165230619
a tool that largely has unknown effects on the brain

I have more confidence in evolution being able to create a brain that is capable of handling trauma, than I do in barely understood neuroscience

Started messing with models. Now my game will look like unique ass instead of generic ass.

>>165230463
fuck you, you're beatiful anon!

I've got dashing enemies that use the generic movement system. They have one state where their speed is high and their direction targets the player, which acts as a dash. Shooting enemies are usually just unique code in the Update event that either works on a timer (like these guys >>165230693) or triggers when a specific state starts, and creates a projectile object

it's not bad but also not super memorable. parts of it sound like mistakes, kind of dirty. i think you should listen to piano renditions of final fantasy music as inspiration. i'd personally recommend this one, it's the best in the series by far

>>165231146
So do you make new enemies that are child objects of the parent enemy object? I thought you meant that each enemy in your game is solely that enemy object, but I might've read that wrong.

if you want players to easily differentiate one from the other, make sure their silhouettes are different

since they're supposed to be in uniform, not sure what you can do in that regard. maybe look at how uniforms are differentiated in other games, see pic related

new enemies are all children of oEnemyParent. That way things like the player only have to check collision with one object.
pic is a standard setup. This enemy moves around the room randomly, then towards the player when they're in range, then finally a dash if the player escapes as a last attempt to catch up. Begin Step has a little code to force the dash, but otherwise it's all handled by the generic scripts

a guy name tom, who happens to be a superstar in a fictional magic sport, gets transported into the future by a tsunami. there he learns that the same thing had happened to his father 20 years ago and, that the tsuanmi was actually his father in disguise, who had traveled back in time to get tom to come to the future so that the father may die at the hands of his own son. on tom's quest to kill his father, he meets a lovely young lady who he falls in love with. to his surprise, his new girlfriend also holds a grudge against his father and also happens to be on a journey to kill that very same father. what tom doesn't know yet however is that his girlfriend can only do so at the cost of her own life.

it's pretty sweet though i can just type variable.log() and it'll be printed on the screen and updated in real-time. optional parameter for having it printed in console too. its also setup so i can do multiple .log<>'s at once, and the spacing will automatically get adjusted.

>mfw my boring programming progress killed the thread

please, continue

Game Maker (2) help please.
I'm on the right track for swapping out my hard-bindings with variables to allow custom key binding, but I'm not sure how to handle using space as a global, or if I'm even doing it right. Yes, I did try looking at the documentation first.

Here's an example of my right movement (i.e. something that works):
//From the script to write the ini file for the default controls:
global.key_right = ini_read_string("controls", "right", "D"); //makes "D" default for right

//From the script that handles the user input:
RIGHT = keyboard_check(ord(global.key_right));

This works but by using ord() it assumes that key_right is either a letter or a number.

Here's what I currently have for space (and it doesn't work):
//From the script to write the ini file for the default controls:
global.key_jump = ini_read_string("controls", "jump", "vk_space");

//From the script that handles the user input:
JUMP = keyboard_check_pressed(ord(global.key_jump));

I know there's a couple of things wrong here:
1) ord() is meant for single characters, and I have "vk_space" saved for jump, since I'm trying to say "use GML's vk_space constant". (I tried it without ord() as well.)
2) Involving the vk constants in general seems to make things less consistent because then the globals would have to be treated a bit differently in the scripts (than globals that are just single letters or numbers), which is kind of against the point of making the controls all modular.


Bottom Line: Should I do a bunch of exception handling stuff to make the spacebar a control option (as well as have it by default), or should I just make all the controls all letters/numbers for simplicity?

>>165234262
i'm busy working, can't shitpost. sorry buddy

>>165234351
vk_space is a special variable that returns a number that the system understands as the spacebar. "vk_space" is a string that represents nothing other than that.

Instead of doing the ord every input, save the returned value as the binding.
For example
global.key_right = ini_read_string("controls", "right", ord("D")); //makes "D" default for right
global.key_jump = ini_read_string("controls", "jump", vk_space);

RIGHT = keyboard_check(global.key_right);
JUMP = keyboard_check_pressed(global.key_jump);

>>165234521
Ah, that looks much more convenient. Thanks.

>>165234521
>>165234613
I forgot to change it to ini_read_real(). You'll need that.

>>165234671
right.

So i have two vector3 in unity.
How do i find it how much is the vector A pointing in the direction of vector B?
Like if the vectors are pointing in the same direction it will return one, if the only point like half in the same direction (45 degrees) it will return 0.5 and so on

Hm, now the only problem is that the input is reversed, meaning my character moves right only when I'm *not* pressing the key...

How do you like gms2. Worth the switch?

>>165235513
Can't say for sure, since I haven't seen the whole input system, but that doesn't sound like the data causing the issue. It sounds like a logic error.

check the variable first if it's null, and don't do whatever you're trying to do if it is

>>165235535
It's great, though it's worth noting that I got Studio Pro 1 in the Humble Bundle for $1, and the upgrade was/is only $60 for people who already have that version of GM1, so the whole software buying experience was fairly cheap for me.

As it is in beta it does have its bugs (I suspect that one in particular is making some nearly identical button objects I have for an options menu behave inconsistently), but the devs are responsive and overall the system is shaping up well. The pros (fully redone UI, graphical resource tree thing, etc) are certainly enough to keep me from going back to Studio Pro 1, but I didn't get very far with my project the old one anyway, so I was able to afford to experiment with a beta.

>>165236043
from what the stack trace says in your screenshot, it's line 72:

csGuidedCheck LockedCheck = (csGuidedCheck)MultiTarget[i].gameObject.GetComponent("csGuidedCheck");
LockedCheck.isLocked = false;


which means it should be this instead (without bothering to optimize any of this code):

if (MultiTarget[i].gameObject != null)
{
csGuidedCheck LockedCheck = (csGuidedCheck)MultiTarget[i].gameObject.GetComponent("csGuidedCheck");
LockedCheck.isLocked = false;
}

>>165235696
>>165236151

It's contrived but simply putting a NOT on the line worked.

RIGHT = !keyboard_check(global.key_right);

I guess this is my temporary fix.

>>165236057

Does the new version of GM let you choose how it compresses images? I really need that.

>>165236151
>>165236273
That works, but there must be a cleaner solution.
Is it possible you could put your input getting and movement updating in a temporary pastebin for me to look at?
