Oh damn I didn't realize it was you. Bonelord was a good game anon, actually it felt more like a rough around the edges prototype (which it probably was?), but I could see where you were going with, with more dev time it could've been pretty fucking good.

Going back over older stages to remove all the right angles. I have to redo all the UV maps as a result, but the stage looks much better.

Any suggestions on fitting styles for the grass texture? I'm pretty unhappy with what I've got.

Yeah, now I think I will use a lighter (maybe more pink?) texture. Meanwhile, I add a few extra such as a light aura around the level and a small gloom.
Next I will surely add a slight mirror reflection under the level.

>>165713574
I'm not the homing lasers guy but I don't think you would need something that complicated. You can just have a bunch of bullets in a train to simulate a continuous beam. To draw it you can have a foreground sprite for the "center" of the beam, and a background sprite for the outside of the beam. The foreground sprite would be pill-shaped and become more transparent toward the edges so that it produces a gradient to the glow color.

>>165713673
Closing this thread for necro.

>>165713680
Yeah, I plan on it. Going to make a lot of changes to the UI once I get the combat feeling right.

I always felt like your game was lacking patio furniture.

Anyone using GM:S and making gamepad controls able to answer this for me please? I have pad working but if it gets disconnected and reconnected the game will no longer sense it (I hear sometimes it will assign to a different slot even if the previous one isn't occupied).

How would I make the game check for 1) a connected controller and 2) assign that controller slot to a variable (I am coding 0 for slot at the moment but I know for this to work I probably have to use a custom var that I can then assign as any detected pad).

Downloaded UE4
any recommended tutorails I should start with?

Noob GMS question here.

Say I have a huge static background. Would it be better to have that background as one big tile, or break it into smaller tiles even though that's not necessary.

Basically, does a huge draw call every frame consume more processing power than a 100 draw calls would if I broke it into 100 tiles?

People on reddit seem to think that game maker has the functionality to handle disconnecting/reconnecting controllers, although in my personal experience I could've swore that I'd seen people always default to the answer of "you're fucked on this problem, suck it up", so I honestly don't know.

depends on your situation and needs. in general, rigidbody has built-in momentum, and can be pushed around. useful for cars and such. character controller on the other hand is tight. like what its name says, it's meant for characters.

if a capsule powered by a rigidbody went up a ramp, it would actually fly off for a little bit.

if a capsule powered by a character controller went up a ramp, it will follow the surface.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is the writing meant to be like stage direction, as in "describes the scene that will be depicted through another medium while also presenting the script", or is it writing that's going to be presented to the player as is? 'Cause that has a lot to do with how people should approach it.

Given the way it's written, I'm kinda assuming the latter, but I'm unsure.

With a little bit of tweaking, I could make Project TUSSLE support drag-and-drop compatibility with Brawl and Brawl derivative characters.

>>165718305
>is really bad

I can understand this as I've struggled with it before. But in my game, characters are not supposed to get pushed, unless a certain weapon is used, so I need pushing done via code, not something freely done by the physics like in a rigidbody.

No matter what I did, rigidbody kept moving. I tried manually setting its velocity, adding an opposing force to stop it from moving, etc.

In the end I just used a character controller and used OnControllerColliderHit and my own code to facilitate pushing.

Checking if the character gets hit (for damaging) is done by a separate set of colliders, I know very well that a Character Controller collider is not very good for that.

So far, it works pretty well.

I really like the direction you're headed, but having attacks that nullify large swathes of projectiles seems like it might trivialize the difficulty if it's not balanced carefully (which is not to say it's necessarily a bad mechanic).

>>165718615
The thing is the webs are spawned by the monster each time it moves onto an empty tile, so each move would mean constantly rechecking for nearby tiles and updating the sprite to know which one it is. I already do something similar for the terrain at generation but that's one time. I'll keep this in mind since a lot of this is still placeholder, I just wanted to move it out of the purely squares phase.

Ah, that would certainly make it more difficult. Probably use the non-tiled version then.

I actually noticed that a bit during testing. My (temporary) solution to the difficulty is to have multiple angles of projectiles to come from (which in this case, are what the those colored circles that pop up are doing). A lot harder to kill the bullets if they surround you.

No, it's been very negatively recived on /v/ because its creators labeled it a "post-modern rpg" along with its other issues.

I was more forgiving though, and it looked kinda promising to me until I saw more of the gameplay and the mini-game mechanic didn't work out at all.
It just drags out battles longer and theoretically can make them infinite.

Never worked at micky dees, but I worked at another fast food place for about half a year, and the best advice I could give you is don't kill yourself even though you're going to really want to.

>>165719804
Here's a tip for working a job like that:

Don't work hard. Don't do things you aren't told to do or go out of your way. If you feel like you can get away with just sitting in the fridge for twenty minutes, do it. If you go to a job like that and start showing any semblance of responsibility, they're going to put everything on you. Save all your best brainpower for devving. If possible, wake up five or six hours before your shift and get in some good devving and leave that job with whatever's left of your burnt out exhausted mind.

It's a drain working a menial job to fund your passion project, but with a game like that, I'm sure it'll be worth it. Looks like something that can really take off.

https://youtu.be/F8eywumz0zI
it probably sounds pretty far removed now that it's done, though.

right now though I'm not really trying to write tracks for any specific kinds of games, mostly trying to get to the point where my output is consistent enough that I'd feel comfortable tackling a project with a team. I really want to work on a game at some point, but I don't feel like I'm really at the level where I can just crank out songs at will, which is a skill I know I'll need if I wanna get into making music for games. mostly posting in /agdg/ because the opinions of people who actually work on videogames are more important to me than most other kinds of feedback.

there was a time when asset store didn't have much inside it. the asset store team was relatively lax back then because they were kind of desperate to have content in.

now that there's a lot of stuff in it, they have to be strict so it doesn't get full of duplicates and mediocre stuff.

Hey, anyone willing to help an idiot who's bad at programming figure something out?

I'm using Game Maker 2 to make a little platformer game, the player character can move, jump, and shoot a projectile but I want to create a charge attack that turns the player into a damaging projectile. (Which, when I can figure it out, can allow the player to bounce off walls at various angles.)

What would be the best way to do this? Are there any examples I can look to get a better idea?

>party-boying
that shit is lame with just one enemy, plus it would have a small hitbox

>>165724676
Tackle one side of the problem first: either the charging, or the actual attack.

Starting with the attack: enable invincibility, disable input, and move the player in the desired direction. When you collide with an enemy, do the damage. Set that all to trigger based on a single key input, instead of worrying about the charge system.

never touched gml in my life but those are the general steps, I can help with more precise ideas too

>>165724543
none that I know of. the general consensus is that it's more hassle than its worth to put in any sort of piracy detection into the asset, complete with countermeasures to ensure that it can't be removed by hackers.

though it's not impossible that some asset authors took matters into their own hands and made something custom.

also if an asset author saw that you were using one of their plugins/assets, if they asked for your invoice number and you couldn't give any, they have a right to be suspicious.

>>165723996
Sure thing. It's not quite there yet but if you want to share some assets I could at least whip up a proof of concept.

I used to mod Brawl. I had an old ISO around, so I extracted the fighters PAC files and ran them through Brawlbox to extract the MDL0 files. Then I opened them up in a hex editor and changed the bones around so they properly parented each other so I could export them to a DAE file, that I then imported into Blender, rebuilt the textures from scratch, and then built a script to conver the Brawlbox .CHR0 files to unity .anim files.

Half of this work was done like eight years ago so I don't think I'd remember how to do it any more. Thankfully I got all my old HDDs backed up and I found my old project files. Even found all my Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom model rips as well.

These are all very vanilla WoW like for me for some reason. In other words: max comfy and I like them.

However I wouldn't make the dead pathfinder an actual quest. I don't know how your game plays, but if it's 3D, I would just let there be some footsteps on the ground, and if the player finds them, he can follow it until he stumbles upon the body with the artifact. It would give the impression that you play in a large world full of little stories and it's worth exploring out of town to find adventure.

I might make it a secret path you might be able to find while you're walking around trying to get to either the snow piligrim village or the scar. Who knows, maybe it'll let you play a hidden 3D mini game?

>need light weight programs for stuff

Photoshop has a lot of great features that something like Aseprite doesn't have. I also use photoshop for a lot of other applications so I'm familiar with it.

Cheese with your whine sir?

nope, using windows and don't have any issues, just ran it and it's using 5% of my cpu and 170mbs of ram when applying styles.

paint.net is at half the cpu and a quarter of the ram, but i have no equivalant of applyign styles there, but regardless it's a lightweight program

Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback from DD12. I think I've read everything posted so far. If anyone else has some comments I'm happy to hear them. My main focus between now and the next DD is going to be improving the difficulty curve. The current enemies are quite tough, and represent something you would be fighting after you're about halfway through the game. So expect some easier enemies that will gradually build up in terms of complexity.

To the guy who recorded himself playing, thanks for that. Sorry that the controls were unclear, it was an oversight not to have all the keyboard controls listed. Holding Q is how you eat an apple. I will rework the keyboard controls soon, hopefully making them re-mappable.

Someone mentioned the writing was mediocre, I agree. I just about have the story figured out, and once I get the level design finished I will be going back over the game to more coherently tell the story. It's going to be fairly simple, but hopefully fun.

what's the worst that could happen if i pirate unity

I guess it's none of my business, but I'm wondering: where have you been? I was happy to see you again, nevertheless, but I thought you ditched the project or something for being absent more than half a year.

I got a job at a contracting firm doing software engineering. That took u most of my time motivation and sanity. Plus I was depressed af. Either way, I'm back on it now and committed to finishing the project.

>GUNS
Implemented different guns, they can simply have different reload times, damages, bullet patterns etc. Gonna add a bullet type option for flame throwers / railguns or something.

>DASH
Added a simple short dash, executed by double-tapping a directional key. Can be used to dodge projectiles, but doesn't currently make the player invulnerable like the rolling does.

Do you know how actor references are supposed to work in UE4? I made a "shotgun" that spawns a projectile for each iteration in the loop. Each projectile gets sent to another function, where the referenced projectile does something. Instead of all the projectiles doing something new, only one projectile does something new.

A different function spawns projectiles as long as the button is held down. Each projectile is sent to the other function for new behavior. Instead of every referenced projectile being affected, only some of them are.

I'm using A* pathfinding in my platformer like pic related (red is walkable cells so they jump over small obstacles and don't try to run off the edge). They try to path to the player every X seconds. The problem I have is when the player jumps or gets put into the air for some reason it's like the he doesn't exist to the AI anymore because they can't path to him (even though he might just be directly above them, or about to come down in a second). Even if they can't "reach" him, I don't want them walking off the other side of the map only to have the player fall back down to the ground a second later safe and sound. How should I fix this?

stop being so insecure guy, I was being sincere.

>>165732340
When they can't reach the player, find the closest walkable square to the player and have them walk to that.

>>165732204
Are you the same guy who drew that white haired witch? In that case: no. I want to be on the witch's side. If not, then sure.

>>165732204
Yes

>>165732484
I want them to patrol around when they shouldn't care about the player though, for example the enemies on another platform or if there's a huge wall between them that they obviously can't get through. I don't want them to constantly try to get to the player.

>>165732284
assuming blueprints work the same way code does, passing in a reference actor would allow you to reassign the variable to something else, whereas if it wasn't a variable the assignment would get ignored once the function ended. however, in both cases any functions you call on the actor should work on the actual actor itself.

it's possible you aren't updating the actor properly before passing it to the function

Motivational can work well with me depending on the quality of the motivational post, but demotivational somehow always work.

>>165732598
In that case, maybe raycast dowards from the player until it hits the ground, then have enemies path to that position? That way they can patrol when the player is unreachable, but if he's just in the air over a spot they can reach they'll go there.

the simplest solution here is to trace down to the first tile below the layer

>>165714372

>>165732953
also note that you can have details like if the player gets outside of the enemies range, it remembers the last position in its range the player was at and waits there for a second or two to prevent the player from gaming it too much

you can also predict where the player will be based on a low pass filtered measure of their velocity and doing some ray tracing with that but for most games its overkill
