Game: Monolith
Dev: Team D-13
Tools: Game Maker: Studio, Paint.net, pxTone
Web: https://monolithdevs.itch.io/monolith, https://twitter.com/MonolithDevs, http://monolithdevs.tumblr.com/
Progress:
+ Implemented the rest of DD12 feedback and bugfixes (Improper sound loops, Cutting off input if clicking outside the screen, a bunch of misaligned 3d sounds, etc.)
+ Started the first Floor 4 boss, a great chunk of it's behavior is already done
+ Recolored several core player shot types to differentiate them more from enemy shots
+ Fixed rare display errors in enemy hp bars
+ Can no longer glitch out of boss rooms with a forgotten debug button
+Added Satchel block, Explosive blocks stand out more, Chomper makes chomping sounds, pipe enemies and segments get destroyed if dislocated from the whole
+A whole bunch of quality-of-life improvements for the editor. (Displays whole 2x2 and 3x3 sprites, can sample and delete by clicking on any part of a placed object, replacing a part of an object automatically deletes it)
+Despite all odds, moveblocks work now. Im so proud of them, they also have beefy oof sound and shake the screen if bouncing off of a wall at particularly high speeds
+Recolored Floor 2 backgrounds again, color feels so good, Im gonna reuse it for Floor 5
+About 100 new rooms or so

If you want anyone to actually use this, you need to drop the ShareAlike clause.

You do realize that implies that any game using your music has to -also- be released under CC-BY-SA or something similar, even if they give you attribution

Game: Project TUSSLE
Dev: digiholic
Tools: Unity, Python
Web: http://projecttussle.com/
Progress:
+ Added a flowing headband
+ Converted Knockback system from Python version to match up with Unity version
+ Created a process for importing Brawl models and animations
+ Abstracted out the animation loader so it can be used to load 2D sprites or 3D Animations, depending on if the character is a sprite or model
- Still haven't converted all of the existing actions to Unity. So tedious.
- Need to come up with a way to align the headband properly with some of the more involved animations. Don't want to hardcode it in, since Hitboxie is supposed to be the example character and I don't want to have to use dev-only workarounds for him.

Game: Skylarks
Dev: Mako
Tools: Rust, Blender, Logic, SDL2
Web: -
Progress:
+ Modified the new scene system to better model a pushdown automaton
+ Rewrote the entire display system
+ Rewrote the entire physics system
+ Rewrote the entire input system
+ Rewrote the entire ship maneuvering system
+ Rewrote all entity spawning/killing systems
+ Rewrote the collision system
- Weapons, landing on planets, warping to other systems, and AI all need to be rewritten or retrofitted onto all the other stuff above
- The new collision system is exactly as bad as the old one, except that it literally does nothing right now because nothing is using it
- There's currently very little logic to the order these rewritten systems fire in, resulting in very strange bugs and possibly lock contention

ShareAlike is to me equivalent to Unusable since I'm aiming for a commercial game. Even with a game I was making for free I wouldn't bother because I can't be arsed to keep track of such licensing terms. If you weren't saying this now I'd just go 'oh, ShareAlike, that's too bad' and move on, while making a mental review of how much cancer CC and ShareAlike is since people keep marking their stuff as 'free' when it's actually 'limited use'.

Thanks though.

Icelander here. For the love of God don't. This country is fucked unless you're already established here.

Free to use as long as you share the work that utilizes it with the exact same terms. Extremely commonly called free, is actually permission to use with heavy limitations, makes searching for actual free-to-use stuff a pain in the ass.

I want to do things that affect the projectiles, like move them around, change their size, change their colors, change their trajectories, who knows what

I looks like the only sure way to do it is to put all of that information inside the projectile itself and call it from the weapon though

>>165797906
What's the problem, anon? It's free as in beer.

>>165797271
That's not why people hate the GPL, because you can in fact make money using it, the only difference is that you will have to provide the entirety of your source code to people and allow them to do whatever the fuck they want with it (source: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html)

People hate the GPL because it's viral, meaning using even a single line of code licensed under the GPL in your project forces you to license your project under the GPL as well.

>>165798213

No, it's free as in "if you drink any of this beer you have to give your piss and shit away to anyone who asks for it"

You would be a retard to because the game is already available for free. Also the GPL doesn't cover assets or scripts and the LGPL doesn't cover dynamic linking.

>>165798685
p much every engine does the same thing

you have to manually specify that the object does not cast shadows and code it to have a dynamic light attached if you want it to actually cast light. also the texture has to have a glow property, like it has a minimum light level at all times

>>165798542
>>165798847
Well, assuming the game is already for free. And if it's not then it's still stealing unless they've licensed their assets permissively.

That's the opposite of how the GPL works in v2 and v1, but that'd be an example of share alike.

>>165798291
That's wrong. Share Alike means your license has to be as permissive as the original, which means you can sell your shit, you just can't prevent other people from reselling your shit.

Wrong, but It's not handled by the engine in most engines. The default emission shader in most engines is unlit and doesn't interact with lighting.

No it isn't. Shadows are an interaction with lighting. Your tech illiteracy is forgivable, but the fact that you can't even think straight is just fucking astonishing.

>>165799479
I'm talking about covering in the sense that when you use GPL code it extends to your project as well. If the engine part uses GPL code and all the real "game" stuff is in scripts or assets it won't be "infected".

Finally managed to get a new menu in for testing, I really need to speed up the pace of work. This isn't a real inventory though, was just testing out the various elements of my item database and the UI draft.

i'm new to these threads
do you guys just argue about engines and not ever make any games?

>>165793948
You do realize that with CC-BY nobody is obligated to pay you ever? At least with CC-BY-SA they will also be forced to either release their own assets as CC-BY-SA or else ask you (possibly with payment) for a different license.

Have these been outdated or something? Why is it constantly giving me errors for them? Inventory is a TArray stored in the character class, so why wouldn't this work?

Also when visual studio gives me 300 errors in a class that Unreal created (in this case UserWidget), should I just ignore it as the program being retarded?

----[ Recap ]----
Game: Mercenary Leto
Dev: Leto Dev
Tools: Amazon Lumberyard
Web: -
Progress:
+ Switched from Construct 2 + Unity to Amazon Lumberyard
+ Added save states
+ Drew new death animation sprites
+ Hired a voice actor for Kickstarter Video

So for the final time I am changing my engine. I can not stand the Construct 2 Workflow. I really think Lumberyard is the way to go. It's like Unity but good. This will be the FINAL time I switch engines. Expect Mercenary Leto to be out by the end of the year!

>>165801149

How many fucking engines have you been through man? And why do you START OVER every single time?!

>>165801403
Yes, just prepare for hitstop that's like having so many orgasms it's painful.

What's a good engine for a game that relies primarily on text but features 2D elements? I'm thinking of a game where you're an orc dungeon master who has to trick adventurers into invading your domain while building up your clan in order to take over the world. Primary interactive elements will be building your dungeon room-by-room and having rogue-like adventurers run through it to grab their valuables/turn them into minions. Kinda like the tabletop game Boss Monster now that I think about it.

I also know nothing about scripts. This project will probably fail before it even starts.

it's... broken? it doesn't work. that's what the post you replied to what about.

So whats the best structure for doing types of things.
For example equipment or resource, but equipment could be boots, helmet, shirt, jacket, etc.
And Resource could be vegetitation, gem, metal, stone. but then gem could be diamond, emerald, ruby, or anything else.

The most difficult part of this is the coding. Not the art.

>>165803224
Though I suppose you could argue you don't want algebraic data types in the first place because you want the system to be open to extension with dynamic dispatch rather than closed with pattern matching.

Subtyping it is.

When people commission artists to make something how does licensing usually work? Is it a deal-breaker to request CC-BY or even CC-BY-SA from the artist?

>>165805389
what the fuck is CCBY or CCBYSA?

I feel overwhelmed thinking of how to get started making a game. Is there a guide for this?

>>165805389
You write your own contract, if not you put them on work-for-hire. Otherwise they could easily sue you for royalties later on if you claim the art is owned only by you.

>>165805389
Make a contract or at the very least tell them up front that:
A) your commission is for commercial use (most artists only allow personal use or charge more for commercial)
B) you want to own the rights to it

If you don't specify B), they let you use their art in your game and sell it but you don't actually own the art so whatever you want to do always requires you to ask them.

Should I bother with configurable controls, or are they too much of a hassle to implement in game maker? I'm using mouse and keyboard controls, so I think I may have a hard time with it

>>165805389
It depends entirely what deal you make with the artist. If you're making a commercial game, don't settle for anything less than yours entirely. If that multiplies their rate tell them to go fuck themselves and move on to the next artist who's not a licensing whore.

>>165805561

Would you recommend it over Construct 2? I'm a little torn between the two in terms of complexity. I really don't need much in the way of animation. It'll be a text-based game with some 2d elements and maybe a few walking animations with sprites/2d images. Top left corner would be dungeon map, bottom left would be input/information and the entire right half will be text for story/descriptions.

All the damn time. When I'm stumped I just try stuff, but usually the first solution fails horribly for some reason I couldn't foresee. Then I take a break and come back to the problem, and when I think about it again, I figure out what I should have done. Bigger problems need longer breaks. Often, if it's just a weird bug I'm trying to fix, all I need to do is go have lunch, or a shower, or sleep on it.

>>165807201
only if they're really in depth simulators and i dont think a mech game exists like this

in UE4 how difficult do they make it to do everything in code?
because it seems like it's really built to use blueprints extensively

>>165807661
Unity is the only way to make a game.

In Game Maker Studio, I noticed that my game crashes if I linger on my inventory menu for too long. I'm using Draw GUI for it, and once you bring it up, the FPS drops to a crawl. I get the "cannot create vertex buffer of size" error. Any ideas what I can do about that?

So you're not liable for anything at all, either by accidently using a trademarked name, maybe you forgot placeholder assets in game (that your ripped/didn't pay for), lots of reasons.

>>165808115
edgy XD

>>165808093
because that's the whole point of the LLC
worst case scenario is you get sued
if it was the LLC who is responsible, worst case scenario is the LLC loses any money and properties (the game) that it owns

if, instead, it is you who is responsible, then worst case scenario is you lose all your money, the game, your house, your cars, and you are now in debt for a million dollars (or whatever)

and the entity who is responsible is the entity which signed the applicable contracts/agreements/etc

I don't understand this meme anymore.

you dont really need one until you gotta do legal shit

>>165808439
Steamchat is ruining the thread and has been for the past seven years.

>>165808089
That's how it was going to be but I was trying to figure out how to make the sprites for the ground look good and not like shit.

>>165808532
that doesn't explain why you'd bring it up in a normal question about a game engine

>>165807949
Yup, it was creating my Inventory screen object over and over. Got it worked out now.

Running out of spell ideas.
any suggestion?

>>165808417
They look good to me, anon.

best engine for RPG that's not gamememer/rpgmaker?

>>165808040
Its only a thing due to programmer error in this particular case.

>>165808683
Godot.

>>165808639
What is this.
Why are there ponies in your game.

i made my company a sole proprieotirship

how fucked am i when someone decides to sue?

>>165808417
I'd make em faster

>>165808532
did the orbs of light tell you that?

>>165808786
it's exactly the same as signing everything as yourself
(no legal protection)

>>165808639
any spell, doesnt matter

but make the hot key alt + f4

>>165808639
Depends. Is there a mana/ammo system or are they unlimited spam spells?

AoE enemy bullet clear in a 360 radius, freeze enemy, missile that spreads to different directions...

>>165808602
Fuck off, Steamchat. No one wants you here.

>>165808730
Create Pony, a level 2 spell which creates a meatshield.

because I ran out of ideas and I tough create pony sounded silly.

>>165808882
unlimited mana! low cooldown! pure fun!
all spells will be used by enemies so they should be avoidable. Freeze sounds cool

>>165808725
turn based?
