Why?

>>165874616
I get it

>>165874585
I'm using it, it´s pretty good

>>165874585
4.14 is stable and has a few nice features

don't ever upgrade a project mid-development unless there is a feature you absolutely need though

you're a tree

the thing you're using to tint your screen orange at night time is probably what's tinting your screen orange at night time

Are there any agdg-related stats anywhere? I'd really like to see the ratio of posted games/dead games, how long the average game gets posted before disappearing, how many new games get posted every month, etc.
With all the autists ITT, one would think that someone would be scraping every thread to find this kind of info.

How about that

If I want to hire someone to be a model for my game how do I make a contract?

anyone have any tips on how to make a game that exploits the mobile market?

i know mobile gamers generally like really simple stuff but i'm not sure how to proceed. any recommended reading or tips?

Re-asking from last thread as suggested:
I got fired and got some dev time now but I have a question.
I want to make a 2d roguelike, I have a few years experience with unity, would it be better to switch and learn something new focused on 2d like game maker or stay with unity because I have experience with it even if its not the best for 2d?

You're not gonna make it.

>>165874585
In learning on 4.14 myself. One thing I found that you shouldn't do is put SetLifeSpan() in the constructor of an actor instead of putting it in BeginPlay(). It sent my instance into a crash loop in the middle of the fps tutorial until I manually opened the VS project and removed it from the constructor.

They don't update these tutorials as often as they update the engine, do they?

>>165876416
Caves of Qud and Sproggiwood are made in Unity. CoQ is ASCII/simple tiles, while Sproggiwood has proper graphics.
I guess it's really just up to you. It can be done, so if you want to stick with it, then stick with it. But if you want to try something else I wouldn't recommend GameMaker, it's being outclassed by Godot.

When does Want GF Jam start?

>>165876416
Depends on what features you want out of it - you could remake Rogue using C without any non standard libraries using the terminal output.

>>165877104
For auto tiling you should do it by tile quadrant and not the whole tile at once. That cuts down the number of permutations to 2^5 at worst instead of 2^8.

Just use Unity. It's fine for 2D and it sounds like the thing you're most comfortable with.

>>165877924
Auto tiling requires you take the eight surrounding tiles into account. Naively, this means 2^8 = 256 possible combinations (each tile is there or it isn't). If you split the tile into four quadrants (corners), you only have to take the three tiles at that corner into account. So 2^3 * 4 = 32 combinations.

Hey all, progress update.
I've been working on a Starcraft 2-esque action queuing system so skilled players will be able to use their time more effectively. In this webm, I hold shift while ordering the archer to move close to the enemy, use a close-ranged attack, then back up to max range to continue auto attacking. Because I hold shift, I can give all of these commands as fast as I'm capable of giving them instead of having to wait for each action to complete individually.

The shitty placeholder lines and squares don't disappear like they should but the core functionality seems to work and I'm pretty happy with it.

>>165882214
Honestly, that's not bad. It's not perfect, and could definitely use a more pronounced gesture, but it's fine for the retro aesthetic the pixel art gives it.

If it'd be possible to get the shoulders to sway a bit, rotating the upper body slightly as she pumps her arms, it'd go a long way towards making it more appealing.

>can't draw hands
>hide them

>>165883750
...yes and?

>>165883380
You don't have to adjust every single one, and you don't have to adjust them all individually. You have to at least pick non-retarded seems and make them generally take up the same size on the texture that they do in the viewport.

What's the best way to make a player inventory system that is like one you'd find in a JRPG? Most of the tutorials I tend to find always seem to want to do some MMO style shit rather than the simple kind you'd find elsewhere.

Any tips on how I could do this?

Yeah, I know what I want, I'm just not sure how to implement it in Godot based on a mesh and not a collision box.
>>165884530
So is there no way to just do it based on the preexisting geometry of the mesh itself? I'll have to convert the mesh to a collision object manually for each of my objects?

So I got unity, have no experience with programming or gamemaking under my belt (except making starcraft custom maps for a few years), and I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed. Not sure where to begin, I know I should start small, but is there a first step I shoukd be taking as soon as I load up the program?

Hmm, I just want it to be able to hold items that the player receives, automatically sort them, keep the count and organize them in the proper categories, and then being able to display it in a sort of list format like in pic related.

Obviously a bit more dolled up and modern than this example, but I just want to be able to set it up in this manner.

>>165886713
I have no experience with the 3D aspect of Godot; I just threw in that comment about the collisionobject. You should probably use a raycast anyway (which is a spatial node object). I don't know how the the type masks work exactly, but from what I can see it needs a collirder / collisionobject to work with.

However, according to the docs on MeshInstance (which from the description you should use to implement your meshes in the scenetree anyway), you can use create_trimesh_collision() to create a StaticBody child node that can act as a needed collider. To quote the docs "It's mainly used for testing.". Maybe create_convex_collision() is more helpful in your endeavour, but there is no doc on it.

>>165886763

What I mean is you make a holder for other UI elements. Let's call it the "inventory screen"

You populate the inventory screen with children UI elements, derived from an array of items, arranged in a list

Godot.

>>165887935
Isn't godot in limbo until 3.0? Should I bother..? I've also heard there's a severe lack of solid documentation and you have to muck about with the source code sometimes to get things to work. Doesn't sound super convenient to me.

>>165886542

What the fuck are you doing?

>>165887362
Godot for sure. In fact the other day when you were first posting about this I made a quick test in Godot using the fixed_process. It worked flawlessly at 60 FPS, 10 FPS, 144 FPS, everything. It does seem like Godot will slow the game down below 10 FPS though, so 1 FPS was going in slow motion, however it was still spawning and moving bullets correctly. And it's not like a game should ever drop anywhere near that low anyways.

>>165887324
Thanks anon. I'll probably just have to suck it up, realize that making 3d chess is going to be inherently tedious, and then start making a bunch of fucking decimated collision meshes, kek.

>>165887996
>Isn't godot in limbo until 3.0?
Nah, not for 2D. The 3D part is getting a big overhaul in 3.0 though. 2D is mighty fine as it is.

>there's a severe lack of solid documentation
Can't deny that. While the demos convey a lot of information, the docs are about 60% complete, meaning that there's a lot of functions that are listed, but not explained. If you aren't the type that likes to experiment and do stuff on your own, I'd really not recommend Godot at the moment. This does not mean however that you can't shit out simple games like there's no tomorrow; the basic stuff is covered.

>>165880634
No.

>>165887996
There will likely be an upgrade tool to go from 2.x to 3.0. GDScript wont be changing very much, just a few new features added to it. The basic structure of most things will also stay the same. So you can practice and learn Godot 2.x for now, and then upgrade to 3.0 in a couple months when it releases, there will also be semi-stable alpha builds in a month or so.
There is less documentation than Gamemaker, but it's not bad. The community is also very active in answering question on the QA site.
You don't have to do anything with the source code to make things work, it all already works.

>>165888328
That's definitely fair. I think I'll stick to Unity for now, though. If I was going to experiment and figure things out on my own I would go back to using Monogame or SFML instead, honestly.

How big of a hassle is it to use pixel art in Unity? Or to make 2.5D games using lowpoly assets? Would I use the 2d or 3d game settings for that?

>>165888274
Before you give up, have you tried those two methods?

>>165888371
I thought porn wasn't allowed on Steam.

>>165888453
>give up
I wouldn't really consider just making collision meshes like most solutions say to be a form of "giving up".

Why would I? They're just going to shit up my codebase with collision geometry that'll rape the physics engine. They'd just get replaced later anyways.

>>165888545

>>165888442
>How big of a hassle is it to use pixel art in Unity?
From what I've heard, it's a bit of work to set up Unity for pixel perfection - I haven't tried it myself, so I want to make sure you know that this is hear-say.
2.5 is not really difficult, as you would just not move on the third axis.

>>165888545
it isn't
OR IS IT

>>165888442
Unity scrub here. So far I haven't had too much issue with pixel art. You just have to watch the compression settings mostly. 2.5D Seems straightforward but not much first hand experience with that.

>>165888631
>Why would I?
To satisfy my curiosity as to what create_convex_collision() actually does.

>>165888442
Don't bother with pixel art in Unity. 2.5D low poly will be fine though.

"inaccuracies" aren't a problem when using room speed

>>165890314
it's a concern because people with toasters who run the game at slower but still playable speeds will have an advantage in action games while 4k pc master race shitters won't be able to put their 120hz monitors to use as the game has to have the cap in order not to run too fast

>spend about a week working on my game

Why does this always happen? I always end up jumping ship after just a few weeks. Maybe I should just stick to game jams.

>>165889790
If the FPS changes at all the player basically has to get used to a different way of playing. Which isn't fun. It should be the same gameplay regardless of FPS. It's just a better experience overall that way.
Some players are okay with running a game at sub 60 FPS, so if you design the game for 60 FPS then you're cutting out any potential customers that would be okay with running the game at lower FPS.
When a frame rate above 60 becomes the norm, your game wont support it, whereas a game with delta time will support any frame rate automatically.

All of that said, Gamemaker is complete garbage and you shouldn't use delta time with it because it's just too much of a hassle.

That's fair. I'll try to stick it out till demo day at least.

>>165891120
I've tried both. Making the pixel art at the intended resolution is better because it turns out cleaner, you can still use a higher res reference if you need to. But if you're going to be drawing lots of high res images to then convert to low res, what's even the point anymore. It would be better to just use the high res art itself, since there's no limits anymore.

>>165891345
I'm not one to talk because I also prefer jam games and haven't finished any long term projects either.

But I think it helps to visualize it as a physical path you're going down, see the progress you've made on this particular game as physical distance covered.

In physicality if you want to change paths you have to walk all the way back. This helps you to commit more easily even when you're not sure you want to be on the path anymore.

In digital reality we can switch paths instantly. We have to resist acting on this and reinforce our physical instincts.

Oh. Well you want to learn blender, not learn 3D. Start with some simple tutorial that sort of follows what I wrote in terms of simplicity. Once you know the basics you only have to learn harder things as needed.

Post screencaps of progress here.

Unrealfags, please help.

I need to figure out which base class of component to use for something based on a certain set of requirements.

I'm using these components to hold a location and rotation for a hover function - each one is to draw a line and determine if it needs to apply force.
I need to use something that can have a mesh for development purposes so that I can quickly add these on and tell where they are and where they're facing.
- InstancedStaticMesh components won't work because I need to use these in arrays and I don't think you can make that an array type.

- SceneComponents can't have a mesh.

- PrimitiveComponent, MeshComponent, and StaticMeshComponent are all unavailable as base classes for blueprint in version 4.14. Does anyone know why this is? Are they really just abstract classes?

Please help...

>>165894462
Well, ideally I'd be learning both at the same time. Are there any recommended tutorial series or instructors that have very good explanations? It's easy to find crappy tutorials and learn bad habits when you have no reference to judge the quality of a learning material.

What I am saying is if you find a tutorial that teaches you the blender basics and you end up making a table, it is probably okay to use.

If you find one that makes you make a person, it is not good.

You want to learn how to move models around. Move vertices around. Make faces, erase faces. You don't need to know how to set up a reference image plane and set up an animated character bones.
