>Platinum Games: Action Without Borders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrw2IP6pZu0

How Platinum makes their games. One of the points I like in this talk is the idea of situation-based design. You don't design player abilities in isolation. You don't design enemies, and levels in isolation either.

Instead you think up of what situations you want the player to experience, and build player abilities, enemy types, level layouts, etc. from that.

The talk is more than that, he also goes over how they pace combat intensity throughout a game.


>Presentation: Combat Design - Mark Acero
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHG3-Nwc4VM

Has some parallels with the Platinum games talk, but while that talk goes over how they design the game as a whole, this one focuses on combat design, as he goes step-by-step with an example hypothetical game. This isn't a GDC talk but is still good. There's a bit of cringe-ness and some of the speaker's jokes are lame, but he knows stuff.

it is a visual representation of the location randomly chosen as the enemy's next destination. when they get within 10 units of that location, they select a new location at random and begin anew. the random points are chosen within a radius that has the enemy's starting location as its center point. this is the beginning of basic enemy patrol AI (with short raycasting to avoid walls)

Fan can be set to different speeds. If set to maximum speed, this happens...

Also added main character in. Doesn't have any animations yet. Do you think it looks fine if it is transparent while moving (so you see objects behind it)? Any other solution to fix seeing objects behind him (maybe him becoming smaller, etc.)?

>>165487076
almost, I can formulate it more clearly I think

basically you have, what I'd call the core fantasy, which is essentially the activity that the game appeals to, whether that is medieval fighting, commanding a modern army, living in a fantastical world or whatever

the core fantasy informs the narrative/world(if any), which in turn informs the desired gameplay that will support the core fantasy

it is important to distinguish that mechanics is how the game works, it's what you program.

but gameplay is how the game is played, mechanics change how players can play to win or have fun, you can't make gameplay directly, but only through mechanics and level design can you indirectly create it

finally, the mechanics should be few and simple, easy to understand, the more of the core fantasy you can support through gameplay created by, and the more intricate gameplay you can create, with just a few simple mechanics, the better the game, most of the time

many mechanics add complexity, but not depth, few well thought out mechanics can add much depth, with little complexity

80% of players use less than 20% of the features

if it's as simple as changing variables, maybe you can include some kind of modular weapon system where you can combine pieces to make new weapons

Nope. Variables set their type when you first assign a value to them. Until then they are "null".

can you use double precision floats with godot timers? i'd like it so that the timer goes off consistently 8 times a second, but when i set the time to 0.125 it gets automatically set to 0.13 which makes he think it doesn't support doubles. is there a way around this?

>>165491997
>through GUI
I think the Wait Time display field is formatted to only show two decimals. You could set it to 0.125 in the GUI and then print the wait time of the Timer node to the console on startup to verify.

Today I tried isometric, and idea of a minimap, and sprites (links are missing)

>>165491028
Looks fantastic as others have pointed out

>>165491349
Last time I checked, unfortunately the timer does not go off x times a second if you put 1/x seconds wait time because excess elapsed time does not roll over. So the timer is more accurate at higher FPS, but it isn't actually accurate. That's kind of sad. Maybe I'm wrong? But I tested it and those were my results. When the timer fires it resets to 0, so you accumulate error over time. However, this is easy to fix either in the C++ code or just make your own node with better behavior

>>165492236
first person melee combat is so damn cool, and not explored nearly as much as it should be. that grappling hook pull in particular is sweet

>>165491532
They are cast depending on light position. Not fully programmed though, only does it in a few directions (not 360 degrees).

>>165492191
Yeah, this is correct. The GUI will round a decimal number, but it's only visual, it's still the correct number.
This seems like something that might not be intentional, and should be fixed.

Are you using nodes to display the cells? I'm wondering because in isometric mode it visibly culls those cells that aren't in view.

>>165492623
This is something plagueing the Sprite node as well. Setting the Frame property will always display 0, which is a non-trivial obstacle when setting up animations.

I'm gonna retool it soon to make it juicier so there's a satisfying SNAP and hitspark when you grapple fools. It's a pretty vital tool for this guy because his ranged options are not so great due to being weak, having long cooldowns, or low ammo counts.

Except for the sword, sword throw, and grapple chain. Your sword has infinite ammo and it rocks faces. The chain also combos with other abilities like the firebrand strike here, seeing as you can pull faggots into the fire

>>165492991
How do you rotate it? I assume it's some form of rounding error.

>>165492072
Well, there's a lot of things to take into account. You could have either window size (for windowed or borderless windowed mode) or video mode (for exclusive fullscreen mode, which needs to be picked from a list of supported modes) or both, plus maybe an internal resolution/refresh rate option for scaling with windowed/borderless windowed or if you want an unsupported video mode for exclusive fullscreen.

>>165493154
In the webm I'm using the mouse, but the rotation code looks like this:

I tried both but in the webm I am using draw commands. I made very rudimentary culling for performance since in angled isometric you can't just cull based on a simple rectangle. Using a lot of sprite nodes (several thousand) caused major performance drops when moving the mouse rapidly, I still haven't figured out what's going on there

>>165491028

I am an experienced enginedev in need of money willing to whore myself out to unity. How quick can I learn it and how quick can I shit out mobileshit cookie cutter arcades?

>>165493507
My guess it's got something to do with input events, because mouse movement is considered an input event. Are your sprite nodes in any way processing input? Do you use update() anywhere in their script? Are they processing unhandled input and since nothing else sets your mouse movement input as handled they are somehow involved?

>>165493784

From what I gather barely anyone goes there (hence the fucking useless debate about keeping engines in the OP although the site does a much better job of that), so doing something like Fanart: googledrive-link can't do harm.

fairly fast I'd say, if you used to work in engines. I used to use Torque Game Engine a long time ago and I'd say that even though Unity doesn't give you source code access to the engine, the API they provide is well made for the most part. Docs can get you by most of the time. If not, they have forums and an unofficial discord, slack chat to help you out.

>>165493828
None of those sprite nodes had any scripts attached and they don't do any processing. Maybe moving the mouse triggers some sort of check for whether a redraw is necessary and then it has to iterate over all of them and do.... something. _draw isn't called either. When the parent node for the sprites is hidden, the problem disappears, but when all sprites are hidden individually it doesn't. Very weird

>>165494574
Sounds like you could make good use of chunks as parent canvas item nodes so you can turn groups of sprite nodes invisible. It would also be interesting how pausing the tree would affect this, as that should turn off all physics, process calls and input calls. Sadly pausing can only applied to the whole tree, but it could help verifying the effect of input events.

It seems they expect devs to use shaders and nice materials instead of textures, really. I'm still going to use low-res textures, because that's what I love, but I'll have to save where I can.

On the upside, I can make huge Spyro-inspired skydomes with vertex paint without having to bake them to skyboxes and textures, and we can also have absolutely huge maps as long as I manage to use tiled textures wisely.

Do players actually like borderless window mode? How do they move the window around if they can't click on the borders? Or minimize the screen?

>>165495035
>Didnt use version control
I can't imagine going back to a time before I used version control
pushing a commit or merging a branch with a new working feature is the best feeling

>>165495512
(you)

>>165495512
One of my friends practically only uses borderless windows. A game not having that option has made him not play that game on two occasions so far.
He's a bit aspie though, so i dunno.

>>165495512
borderless window mode is cancer
it combines all the disadvantages of fullscreen with all the disadvantages of windowed mode
don't do it

>>165495549

Bitbucket.

>>165495512
they don't do either of those things. people (generally) use it to simulate fullscreen without the 8-year alt+tab.

>>165495797
I believe you, friend!

>>165495512
the point of borderless windowed is that fullscreen is treated differently in Windows (at least up to 7, dunno about 8-10)

alt tabbing between desktop and a fullscreen application involves destroying and recreating drawing surfaces and that is often noticeably slow. as an upside though true fullscreen games SHOULD run a bit faster because the desktop isn't being drawn

I play everything in borderless windowed mode because I'm a casual and I frequently alt tab to chat or do shit

>>165495682
Wut

>>165495682
I never need the performance benefits of exclusive fullscreen and its a lot smoother to alt-tab in and out of a borderless mode
I feel that way even with very taxing AAAA games

>>165494942
>Sounds like you could make good use of chunks as parent canvas item nodes so you can turn groups of sprite nodes invisible
That's actually a nice idea for culling, especially since hiding a parent node seems to do something that you don't get with hiding a sprite.

I tried the profiler but it didn't show anything specific except that there were several calls to draw per frame when moving the mouse. So I think the mouse movement might be triggering an attempt to redraw somewhere, which involves checking all the nodes in the entire tree for whether they are queued for redraw, which may be expensive when you have thousands of them.

This version control bullshit is fucking confusing.
Like I don't fucking understand what forking, git, and cloning means.
Why do they have to make up such confusing retarded words for these.

forking and cloning mean exactly what they sound like they mean dude

a fork is a split off the main tree and a clone is a copy of the tree

if it's helpful there are desktop applications for git that make it less fucky - the github one was pretty good last i used it

>>165496198
>forking and cloning mean exactly what they sound like they mean dude

Literally what. You can't just say "a fork is a split off the main tree" and expect me to understand what the fucking means in terms of version control. Like what the fuck is a tree.
Also forking means exactly what it sounds like? When I think of forking, I think of a guy sticking a fork up a girl's ass. Is that what fucking forking is?

They won't host the usual stuff, I think. Meaning CP, bestiality, gore, etc.

Bitbucket and Github are basically the big two that don't fuck you over from my limited experience. Bitbucket gives you unlimited free private repositories for up to five people per repo. Github gives you unlimited free public repos, meaning anyone can download your sourcecode. There may be a data limit; iirc Bitbucket will look twice if you exceed 10GB in a single repository.

>>165496398
what game?

>>165495987
cloning means litreally making a local copy of the remote repository
git is just the system's name
forking means creating another remote copy that has a reference (upstream) to the original but does not necessarily (actually most of the time does not) have anything to do with it other than just basing off a specific version of the original

>>165496364
>>165496198
This guy didn't explain it very well. I suggest you just google it instead of asking here. People will only give you half-assed answers.

>>165496472
github will remove your repository if it has words they don't like though

>>165496549
So cloning is an entire copy but forking is also a copy but with a reference to the original?

>>165496472
sweet 10gigs is far more then ill ever need, thanks :)

>>165496743

probably not now since they're not falling for bait like they used to, but if you do make some bait game then you want to trigger as many people as possible so the people who agree with it will hopefully buy it
make sure you go full shill mode and find a handful of screenshots of pink haired tumblr chicks getting triggered (or just fake them, it's not like anyone checks) and spam them on /pol/ saying "this dev's fighting the good fight, amirite?"

>>165496364
The other guy's a cunt.

You have two (types of) places where you store your data. One is local on your harddrive, the other is the repository on the hosting site.

Cloning is the process of downloading the most recent state of the online repository to a local drive.

The files in the online repository are sorted in a tree-like structure, also called a graph if you want to stay technical. At the base is the root, the initial commit. This is the code as it was saved in its original form. From this, branches emerge. Usually there is a "master" branch, which you can imagine as a tree's trunk. This master branch is used to build a game for release. At any point in the graph, you can fork code. This means to create a new split, a new branch in the tree. You basically set the code on your drive to the state it was saved as at that point in the tree. With this fork you can work on a feature, say character movement, without disturbing the rest of the code, say weather simulation. When you are done with your work, you commit your fork back to the tree and it gets merged (upon admin's confirmation) with the rest of the code.

In your local drive, the files that are new, have been removed or otherwise modified, can be staged to form a commit. Basically a package with a comment on it "Added movement controls." and such. Pushing this commit / package to the repository will advance a branch of the tree.

The timer is already as accurate as it can get. I think fixed_process mode will be more accurate than process mode. Also when a timer has oneshot off, it will continue to repeat the countdown, instead of finishing after one trigger.

>>165498185
Nope, just checked it again.

On my machine it takes 12 second to get 80 timeouts from a timer with a 0.125 second wait time. Should take 10 seconds.

The problem is that when the timer goes off, you are already x milliseconds behind the correct point in time. However the time start fresh from 0 at that point, so you are wasting a couple milliseconds every time. The correct way to implement a repeating timer is to start the timer in the past, so to say.

He gave up on life.

>>165499426
It would be reasonable to have a node act as timer replacement with a counter variable.

Then in _progress():
if counter >= 0.125:
emit_signal() / doStuff
counter -= 0.125

That way you should not accumulate the error and get the wanted behaviour

>>165500323
I dunno, it just sounds scrummy as fuck being forced to buy a "better" version (in name only) to be legally allowed to continue selling your game past a certain threshold. At least UE4 gives you everything straight out of the box, no bullshit, even the source code.

I don't see the need to upgrade though. Most people upgrade just to control the bootscreen - it's a vanity feature.

>UE4 will take parts of my profits even if I only make $1000.
They only start taking profits after $3000. And it's only 5%, it's nothing compared to Steam's 30%.
>>165500842
>I don't see the need to upgrade though.
After you make a certain amount of money you legally have no choice but to update. It's in the EULA you agreed to when you installed it.

>>165500570
>past a certain threshold

that threshold you're talking about is $100k annual revenue.

if you made $100,000.00 in the last year, you're required to buy the paid version (minimum is the $35/month tier). does that sound unfair to you?

>>165500842
>UE4 will take parts of my profits even if I only make $1000.
The royalties are only on amounts >$3000/quarter

I get the hatred towards scale mixels, but what's wrong with rixels? I personally think a rotated sprite scaled at pixel perfect scaling looks far worse than rixels.

>>165500842

>However, no royalty is owed on the following forms of revenue:

>1. The first $3,000.00 in gross revenue for each Product per calendar quarter;

>>165501068 >>165501209 >>165501109
I'm not likely to make $100k in my first year. If I do, upgrading will be a laughably fine expense and I'd feel absolutely OK with doing so.

5% is a lot to me. $125/mo is not nearly as much.

That's [UE4] $5000 (technically $4850) vs. [Unity Pro] $1500 if in either case I manage to hit 100k.

>>165501328

>>165501357

>What do people even get there?
Cure for Autism

>>165501726
No, I could downgrade back to basic in the year that I don't meet that threshold. But yes, I'd have to keep paying $125/mo off my profits each month. I can deal with that a lot more easily than a large chunk of my profits going away.

Mind that I'm already only getting about 50-60% of my profits from Steam to begin with after taxes and Valve's cut if I really do make a lot of money. 5% hurts the more you make. $125/mo hurts the less you budget for it.

Any year in which you make more than 100k in profits, yes.

If you make 100k one year, you pay for the next by having Pro. If it takes you two years to make your next game, that's $1500 for that first year, then another $125 for your flex month, then you cancel. Then the 11 mos after that are free on Personal -- and then you start the cycle again after you've made more than 100k that year -- which would technically be 2 years I imagine.

you need a better understanding of facial planes and proportions, but this board is not ideal for modeling advice

>>165500068
My interpretation is that they wanted to avoid time_left being set to something negative. If the timer receives a deltatime of 0.016 (smallest possible deltatime at capped 60fps, which fixed_process aims to do) and you set wait_time to be below that, the timer would emit the signal every frame, but also time_left would grow infinitely large in the negative direction, if I am not mistaken.

time_left = wait_time + time_left can therefore only be allowed for wait_time > largest_possible_delta_time, so that time_left is not negative. Since you can't stop delta_time from growing, using wait_time + time_left is a bad idea. Really hope I'm thinking this through correctly. 2:30am here.

Assuming you make $25000.25/quarter in revenue your costs over that same period of time compared vs UE4:

Unity
$1625 for Year 1
$0 for Year 2
$1625 for Year 3
Total: $3,250

UE4
$4400 for Year 1
$4400 for Year 2
$8800 for Year 3 (assuming you make the same amount on Product #2)
Total: $17,600

>>165503656
I dunno, it raises a pretty good question. That's not the amount of profit you walk away with -- that's just the costs of using the engine you're using.

No matter how you look at it, UE4 is just straight up more expensive than Unity.

I've posted this before, but I'm honestly a little stuck. I have several mechanics that I've added, one where you can destroy blocks, one where you can grow new ones, and one where you can flip the blocks into a third "state", but I can't decide whether I want to have distinct visuals for each separate mechanic, or to introduce them in different "worlds". One of the things I don't like about other minimalist games like Klocki is there's zero sense of progression, other than solving the next puzzle. How can I convey to the player that they're getting closer to mastering the current mechanic, after which a new one will be introduced? Change of background or tiles? Just a text introduction or a number increase? I kind of have a particle / water / science theme here going on, and I'm trying to figure out how to tie that into a nice gameplay progression bow, but I'm stumped.

So I'm asking people here for free ideas.

>>165503981
Or under $3000/mo in UE4's case, apparently.

But yeah, this: >>165504009

Everyone uses engines for good reason. If you're not using an existing engine, you're spending an enormous amount of money and time to make your own. So your engine better be solving a problem other engines are presently incapable of solving.

We had to make our own engine for SR2 and it took 2 years to set it all up; that's a huge amount of money to spend on just making an engine, even if we intended on using it for most of our products going forward.

>>165504128
Oh, sorry. My mistake. It's even cheaper then. $35/mo is like 'don't buy a pizza and we've got our license paid for this month' scale of cost.

>>165503981
I don't know shit about law or accountancy, I fear that I might make a mistake by virtue of my ignorance and end up getting sued and raped by some huge faceless corporation.

>>165503694
I guess my tutorial is a bit obscure. Staged spoiler so people can stop themselves.

The player is supposed to hammer blindly onto their keyboard until they make symbols appear.

Hopefully they keep hammering and find that some of the symbols they can make appear correspond to

the symbols on the platform below the wizard.

When they manage to reproduce the correct order, they cast a fireball and the main menu appears.

I am strongly considering following the first comment on itch though and make the tome available before the menu.
Sorry I cost you 12:20.

>>165504215
Yeah, the reality is that time is money, so besides the experience itself or it interesting you, making an engine is taking a colossal amount of time (and potential money) from games you want to make, so it has to be doing something you aren't getting from a current engine.

>>165504206
This is horrible advice if you intend to sell your game. It's I guess not horrible if you never intend to sell your game.

>>165504235
If you don't know much about business law or aren't willing to take risks learning what you can don't be a business owner, yes. Or hire an accountant/lawyer to know those things and cover your ass for you.

Generally speaking you could be too small to sue -- where the costs of suing you outstrip any potential rewards the giant faceless corporation might gain. If you're not doing things egregiously wrong you should be fine. It's not like Unity or Unreal are particularly lawsuit happy unlike some companies (e.g. Disney)

>>165504453
Sorry, meant to clarify: Using a pirated copy of Unity on a sold game is horrible. Using the free version is probably fine. It just looks slightly less professional and people will know what engine you're using.

>>165504661
Star Ruler 2. It's a 4X/RTS hybrid game.

>>165503592
you're as good one would expect from the amount of time you've put in, all you have to do is skill up.

important prerequisites for profit-sharing/legal concerns:

1) you have a game
2) its not shit

>>165504336
I thought that might be the case but I was rushing a bit due to having a shitload of games to get through. It's a neat idea, although obtuse

>>165504942
3) Also don't use other people's shit (models, textures, music, sound effects, etc). If you do use their shit anyway do a good fucking job in covering up that it was ever theirs.
4) Don't fucking use pirated software. If you do anyway, prepare for people to get very upset with a sudden enormous cost as you've put other companies in a position to blackmail you for money and it'll also harm your reputation.

Let's just say I'm a lazy dev-- except when it comes to my game. This is the final batch, because some games were not what I'd like, some games I couldn't be bother to break out the controller for, some games looked too complicated, and some games didn't seem to let me download without donating. Today we have:

Clarent: This game is looks too good, it *is* too good, to be this pixely. Please take this art style, this attention to detail, and this gameplay, and put in full detail, or at the very least something *less* pixely than this. Also a few sound effects got annoying (one or two noises the main character made and the ice sword attack). Also also... Noir, really? That's his name? You can do better.

for a realistic human face? no. there are curved surfaces in certain areas of the face you have to understand. like the skin directly under the eyes. some faces have those less emphasized, but they're still there.

you seem to be learning high-poly so I'm pointing that out. but even low-poly art is aware of those. they may fake it with textures, but the point is they make sure the perceived facial structure is there.

one thing I did for learning was take an Andrew Loomis book, even though it was meant to teach how to do pencil sketches of heads, I applied the lessons there in 3d scultping. pic related is based on one of the heads in page 38 of "Drawing the Head & Hands"

>>165504735
This game is a nightmare to play.

Worst UI I've ever seen!

While the game is fun at first, eventually you'll get bored from all the micromanagement required. It's as if the developer never played the game, just released it and hoped for the best.

>>165505152
Speaking of 3, I still can't believe that Terraria got away with using Final Fantasy battle sprite edits for their characters.

Whimp the Bold: This is good, or at least what I played of it. I got stuck not that far in where there was a small hole in the wall that I couldn't quite double jump to. Also every time I moved to the right the level geometry would turn white.

That's a bit far fetched. There is a big sign prompting the player to take action. I intended this to appell to the player's curiosity and starting into the game with a feeling of success and empowerment.

According to the more positively flavoured comment I somewhat succeeded.

>>165505069
Yeah, I can see how this would be a hinderance. Getting past the splash screen is the neatest thing in the game so far, I'm afraid.

Helleton: I like this, and not just because it's a classic-Castlevania-like (although Classicvania is my shit). I can see you've put effort into this, through the game and your posts here. Probably the biggest sign in the game other than the boss I fought is how stiff the controls are. That's not a slip, I meant to say that. Classic Castlevania controls are very deliberately... well, deliberate. Every move should be planned. This captures that. Actually it captures it too well, it's a bit more stiff than any of the first three games ever were. I have a few recommendations. Namely, I recommend increasing the jump speed, both vertical and horizontal (this will help things feel smoother). Relatedly I recommend placing candlesticks more properly at either walking height or jump height, as it stands for most of them you have jump and then wait and then attack to hit them. Related to *that* suggestion, it should really be possible to attack while jumping, but I always had to wait until about the top of my jump to attack. I recommend getting rid of the "on the ground" frames of the hit-stun animation, both for the sake of clarity and so the player can get back to playing faster. I recommend making weapon upgrades a little more frequent, unless you start spawning the player further back so they can collect more (but when things get tougher that will just compound that problem). I really do respect what you're doing here, I was going to make a game like this and I thought better of it-- maybe I was wrong. I started working on stairs when I did because you were having trouble with them, I thought maybe I could help you or just feel like a superior little shithead, but you finished working on them long before I did. You do you.

That's my time.

>>165505690
if i learned anything about making money is that you need to sell yourself more than you know how to make games.
this is why indie devs have funny hair and weird character, it gets you noticed.

I just found out there's a cloth object in Unity, attached it to a plane, and tweaked the settings until it looked all right.

To be honest I have no idea what half of the settings do, but it was a trial and error process.

>>165506475
Ultimately, it's just another aspect of your game's marketing. There are too many games to consider now for most people to be able to process them. But there's always room for more interesting people.

If you find someone interesting, you're more likely to be interested to see if their works are also interesting. It is somewhat a cult of personality -- but it's also just plain smart psychological marketing.

You don't need it to succeed -- but smart developers tend to put as many feathers in their hat to make their stuff successful as they can stomach.

I think you might be misremembering Castlevania 1
the whole whip as you fall to hit candlesticks thing is very much a CV1 thing, as is the the annoying long hitstun. I personally don't think they were good design in either game, but its a faithful recreation
Speaking of copying shit, was there any wall chicken? I couldn't find any.
