>>166017837
Recreate a game you really like then. If it's too complex make a minimalist or scaled-down version of it.

>>166016892
>>166017685
okay as it is right now... keep in mind that different shapes mean different things to players. show them a shape, and then put something inside of it, and it becomes a law. So if you take those squares on the top right and start throwing weapons in them, then users are going to know that weapons and probably items go in those kind of boxes. maybe you then have things that are more abstract in the boxes on the left, perhaps they're characters, or option menus and lists of spells. On the bottom left you have a similar style to the top right, so keep whatever you design within the same vein. So, if you have a big red box and a bunch of small red boxes, the small red boxes should be some kind of derivative of the big red box. So maybe big red box is all weapons, then small red box is swords vs axes vs bows.

then you're bottom right stuff is good too. Like the first text box looks like it should be used as a header for walking into new areas, where the bottom right box looks more like it should be used for meta stuff like "could not connect to network" or something like that.

Thanks, really useful information, it will help me to design the overal structure of the UI

>>166018056
The problem is i need to start from the Begining because i have no clue how to programm and shit. I need to learn it, which makes it even more boring for me........ Thanks for the Tip

>>166018349
take it with a grain of salt but don't worry too much. Most of that kind of thing will come with user testing. There's a thing called fidelity testing which means depending on how refined something looks people are going to review it differently. If you showed us a system of just sketches, then I'd review it for functionality, if you show me something like you did all I can really say is what I assume it will be used for. They are pretty aesthetically pleasing though. if I had to say anything else, you could also interpret the boxes on the top right as "selected" versions of your boxes on the top left.

How do I have a game not framerate dependant but also won't have actions perform more quickly for faster processors? I'm still doing tutorials. So, sorry for sounding retarded.

>>166018408
Unfortunately the beginning is always boring and you'll have to create some throwaway games just to learn. It's pretty much the same as with other creative skills.

Huh I thought substance designer was just for game textures, didn't occur to me that it could be used to make UI.

Are you an artist or can a programmer like me pick it up and learn how to make not shitte UI in a couple of days?

>>166018510
I'm a new dev too but look at time.deltaTime, i think it makes things based off seconds rather than framerate.

>>166018510
If your game isn't framerate dependent, then processor speed won't make it run faster.

That's the point.

Which outline style do you guys like better?

This http://i.imgur.com/GkM3eg3.gifv or this http://i.imgur.com/LbuPaGc.gifv

>>166018792
Yeah exactly, that's an example of being framerate dependent.

Being framerate independent means moving the character (10 * deltaTime) with each loop. Delta time is the time it took to render the last frame.

So at 30fps, you move (10*0.03) per frame, and at 60fps, you move (10*0.016) per frame, which is half as fast.
But because you're running frames twice as quick, you move at the same speed in both instances.

Alternatively you can have a fixed time loop, which will always run at xFPS regardless of how fast the game is being rendered.

Oh, and for UI, I recommend you to look at this video (previous video just shows the overall workflow)

Deep dive questions, horror dev:
•Did you submit your game to kotaku directly, and if so, through what process/channel?
•Did you personally want coverage from kotaku, and if so why(compared to other outlets)?
•Did they reach out to you prior to running this story to double-check any details or request further info on your progress and intentions? If so, which staff members were you in contact with?
•What was the turnaround time from submitting demo/making contact to this story running? Rough estimates, since you may not be involved in the entire process personally.
•Was kotaku your first choice, or are there any other outlets that you would also like or prefer coverage from?
•Do you now have a direct line of contact to staff for updating them of your progress, or are they even interested in further updates from you?
•Have you seen a marked increase in interest on your game on any of your social media accounts since the story ran?

Spacedev here, I suck at art as well. That's the whole reason the game is black/white.

You don't need good art to have a good looking game, and a game with good art doesn't necessarily look good. It's all about having a consistent style.

If you were to make a game with only colored squares, then it would already look better than pic related.

not that either of those things are easy to do well, they're just harder to do incredibly poorly

>>166020135
take a drawing class or something. >>166020097
seconding this opinion, in design, I make apps black and white first to makes sure the user can navigate spaces based on the bare minimum first. It makes for a much stronger design when you add color and such. too much color and you can lose bullets, or things the user should notice in the mess of things.

For now I'm mostly doing combat improvements before everything else. Right now what I'm doing is just laying the groundwork for the last combat system I wanted to add, which is mostly a rip-off of the boost system in Ys.

>I like what you are doing but I think you might be overworking a single set of features.
Probably. I do want the combat to feel good though, and for moves to have a purpose outside of killing things in fancy ways. It's usually why I make a boss right after finishing a moveset to give it a bit of a stress-test.

Do not do 2D in Unity, especially pixel perfect 2D. You will never stop fighting the engine's quirks. It'll always feel wrong, and you'll never get that precision and crispness you want.

It's just not meant for 2D, it will drive you fucking crazy trying to get it just right.

your graphics aren't very good but remember to have a contrast adjuster somewhere in the options

>>166022914
Once at the start of the game. And then if you have options where you can change the resolution, you should call it after that again if you change it.

I did not reach to any press actually. One editor from Kill Screen found my game on itch.io and asked for an interview. I agreed after it was published, other sites like Rock Paper Shotgun or GameSpark had their own articles without asking me additional questions.
Kotaku hosted the livestream didn't really informing me of it but afterwards Gita and Chris channeled everyone and really helped me with the site traffic.

Is it true that if you want to sell more than 100K copies with the free version you'll not only have to pay for the premium version but also need to make everything from scratch?
Because if so this must be the jewest, most bizarre thing I've ever heard about.

i watched like a 40 min introduction tutorial to level building and i got mindfucked towards the end.
in general you just have to power through it. knowing ue4 is more valuable than unity 5 in the long run depending on what you want to build

>>166023464
I just started by making an Fzero type thing, searching for things as I went.

Check the Content Examples project (from the Learn tab in the launcher) for demonstrations of just about every feature.

>>166023464

Trial by fire, a lot of the documentation and tutorials are already deprecated since they update UE4 a lot.

People who fetishize the Game Boy seem to always fucking forget that it was a 2.6 inch screen. There's a slight difference between looking at something that small with monochromatic graphics and, you know, a fucking monitor or TV with graphics like that.

>>166023136
thanks for the thorough answers, very insightful.

Definitely a lesson for all yesdevs and aspiring devs in this thread on the value of a good itch.io page and submissions. ALthough I cringe at the idea of these "game journos" browsing or posting in these generals. Perhaps sourcedev is a lifelong fuckup like Nathan Grayson or Ben Kuchera?

every day until I can get a serious reply: Looking for comfy jam game ideas, all I know is the game is 3d 3rd person catoony low poly graphics . No Animal crossing or harvest moon suggestions, they are not in scope for 1MA

>>166023609
No, you can use free version as long as your yearly revenue doesn't exceed $100k USD, i f you do, you'll have to purchase either the Plus version ($35 USD/mo, bumps the revenue to $200k) or Pro ($125 USD/mo, revenue now unlimited), and no, you won't have to make anything from scratch. You will be able to open your project as-is and granted access to a few extra features.

>A COSMIC HORROR GAME INSPIRED BY THE WORK OF MANGA ARTIST JUNJI ITO
>by CHRIS PRIESTMAN

>The cancellation of Silent Hills, the horror game sequel that was to be led by Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima and Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) director Guillermo del Toro, was a shame for a number of reasons. Primary among them was the fact that one of the collaborators on Silent Hills was legendary manga artist Junji Ito.

>Ito’s artwork often explores two areas: a disturbing style of body horror that is unique to him, and the existential inevitability of one’s demise. These interests shape his manga with horror stories that are hard to get out of your head, not merely for the strange ideas he thinks up, but due to the mastery with which he is able to visualize them on paper.

>One of Ito’s most well-known works in the West is Uzumaki (2000), which tells the story of a small town that becomes obsessed with spirals, which sounds innocent enough, right? That vague premise lets Ito go deep and wide, with horrific images of spirals doing awful things to the human body; huge circular cavities in heads, a whole person turned into a spiral shape with a complete disregard for bones and joints, two bodies fully entwined in a painful corkscrew. This kind of unexpected, absurd terror permeates Ito’s mangas, which depict humans trapped inside chairs, people drawn towards mysterious holes in a mountainside, and chased around their homes by sharks with mechanical legs.

>Again, it’s a huge shame that we won’t get to see Ito’s work in Silent Hills (but perhaps it’ll be present in Death Stranding?). But videogames won’t be completely absent of his influence, not if Paweł Koźmiński has anything to do with it. Koźmiński is working on a cosmic horror game called Kyōfu no sekai (aka WORLD OF HORROR) that is heavily inspired by Ito’s work, and from what can be seen of it so far, he’s doing a good job of capturing what makes Ito’s manga so memorable.

>>166023136
>after it was published, other sites like Rock Paper Shotgun or GameSpark had their own articles without asking me additional questions.
That's Garmes Jurnalism for you.
Well, it seems to have worked so maybe it's a tolerable evil.

>>166024393
>Koźmiński is 24 years old, currently based in Poland, and attending medical school. Somehow, in between his studies, he’s managed to find enough time to work on his game. Speaking to him, the motivation to commit to making this game becomes clear. “I’ve been a huge fan of Junji Ito for years now. There is this unique charm in the way he mixes the cosmic horror, worthy of H. P. Lovecraft himself, and unsettling imagery that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading,” Koźmiński tells me. “I think this certain kind of cosmic/body horror blend is criminally underrepresented in the western media and I’m planning to change that with WORLD OF HORROR.”

>Kyōfu no sekai is far from an ordinary horror game, and not only because of the Ito influence—it combines a visual novel format with Solitaire and RPG elements. It’s set in the late ’80s and/or early ’90s and follows the ordinary people in a town that is haunted by supernatural events. You get to pick from a range of characters with different strengths and weaknesses, before setting out to “solve mysteries, make decisions and fight eldritch creatures,” as Koźmiński puts it, “all while gaining clues how to postpone the inevitable end of the world, which is the goal of the game.”

>>166024487
Why are you doing this

WHERE IS BITLINE MIAMI YOU FUCK

>>166024487
>There’s an alpha demo that you can currently download on the game’s itch.io page should you want to get a feel for how it all comes together yourself. Otherwise here’s a brief explanation of how it plays: You choose a mystery to solve and are then taken though a number of different location decks. In these locations, you draw event cards at random that you then have to deal with. Typically these are horrific scenes that ask you to make a decision with success or failure being determined by your character’s strengths. It’s possible to get into a turn-based battle with an enemy too, at which point you choose an attack (or to retreat) and then roll a dice alongside an enemy dice, with whoever’s dice getting the higher number landing the attack. You can also gain abilities and buy items that you can call upon during battles to help you out, should you need it.

>“While the story’s beginning and the end may be similar each time, I’m making sure the actual investigation will be full of surprises for the player,” Koźmiński tells me. “I’m planning a continued support in form of free card packs and additional content so that there will be no two identical stories.” It’s the event cards that make up the investigations and it’s there that Kyōfu no sekai really shines. Koźmiński has invented a wild range of scenarios and creatures: occult visitors who draw symbols in blood, heavy tomes bound in human skin, rotting arms coiled around the ventilation shafts of a dark manor, and a lot more.

>>166024585
you know the internet has this super cool system where, if you click a link someone else posts, you can read all these words without having to paste them into the thread?

246KB, 909x1052px

>>166024585
>As with Ito’s own work, what stands out about the horrors Koźmiński has created is both the ludicrous nature of the ideas, and also how the finer details in how they are depicted. The illustrations that accompany each event, while static, are either as obscene or shrouded as they need to be to maximize the terror of the moment that the accompanying words describe. It also helps that Koźmiński has chosen to simulate the 1-bit black-and-white graphics of early Macintosh computers, which feels similar in style to much of Ito’s black-and-white drawings.

>From what’s on show so far, it seems safe to say that Koźmiński’s goal of bringing Ito’s style of cosmic horror to videogames is on the road to success. Kyōfu no sekai feeds you enough information to evoke an irrational world of forbidden cults, faceless monsters, and bizarre compulsions. Koźmiński is hoping to get it finished and ready for Windows, Mac, and Linux by summer 2017.

>You can download the Kyōfu no sekai demo on itch.io. Follow the game’s development on Tumblr. (http://desertgame.tumblr.com/)

>you will never have an article written for your game where most of the article is spent praising someone else's comic

you these enthusiast blog sites have advertising and spyware, where the formatting gets crazy on some people's mobile devices or someone just doesn't want to go off-site or click a link? So I stuck in in thread for the archive, and greentexted it so you can eye-skim past it if you don't like it.

how about a game where you "competitively" prune bonsai trees? You don't necessarily have to prune them, just slap sticks on each other in whatever engine to make bonsai trees. But when you submit your tree to be judged by NPCs, they don't actually judge and just give you one random evaluation that are all nebulously positive, like a fortune cookie message.

some nebulous shitposter on /v/ whom the anti-posters for are worse than the actual poster himself. Apparently fetishizes Barney(the old kids show character, purple dinosaur) the way bronies do My Little Pony, but it's always people complaining about him and him never actually shitposting about Barney. Like, someone will make an unpopular post about something, but instead of being called a shill they'll be accused of being the Barneyfag. It's pretty stupid and meta, with screenshots of this Barneyfag being mad about timeslots of TV shows off on some other site, with nothing relevant or related on 4chan itself.

agdg has a lot of cancerous trolls that tend to shit on anyone posting any kind of successful game. mostly because 99% of agdg is problematic individuals who spend all their lifes on this thread being nodevs just looking to spread their toxic virtirol everywhere in an attempt to get a lul when in reality theyre just screaming for attention because they are empty and dead inside.

endica dev got shit on unfairly, sourcefig got shit on unfairly, and id imagine there are others who get shit on unfairly. the trolls are the reason nobody wants to fucking post progress here or why they get the fuck out when they start making any kind of progress. its bad enough that agdg even fucking doxxed nick.

mixels can be pixel perfect if you're increasing the size by making it so 1 pixel equals x pixels, as you're still respecting the grid. see :

>>166030102
then they're not mixels

>>166029126
the only way to fix that is by building speed, am I right?

>>166030102
That is still mixels. The guys have a larger pixel size than everything else.

>>166030180
that's not what the image i was replying to implies...

>>166021662

Is this character involved in anything extra for the non-Steam version?

>>166030298
but the whole point of mixels is that they're not possible under the original hardware limitations, and by doing so "break the aestethic". This case does not apply.

>>166030102
You're still respecting the grid, but if you know you're going to be scaling up the art like that why not make it its own asset so you can add extra detail?

>>166030584
budget constraint, time constraint, the same reasons the treasure guys had for doing it.

isn't this a good idea? T would be the type of the array. inside the for loop, T would be given an index property. i think it's great, this is the future.

please provide feedback

>>166030516
they won't be possible if you do it correctly on modern hardware either

render to your desired resolution, then scale that render target

>>166029616
Why are you guys not using filters?

Like, seriously. Use the damn filters. It makes this general 400% better.

>>166030724
actually, just leave out the .length, this language is smart enough to know what you mean

>>166030516
That isn't the whole point though, old hardware could create mixels, the only difference is they could only make sprites bigger, not smaller.
This doesn't change the fact that they're mixed sizes though. And it still breaks the aesthetic.

this is almost perfect

>>166030870
they could not make mixels, there is a physical pixel grid and any scaling must conform to it

>>166030870
but if you're not breaking the grid, then how is it breaking the aesthetic? It's something that was possible and extensively used in the SNES era. How could you classify that as a mixel?

Hey, world of horror dev, slowbeef made a video about your game

>>166031267
Hot damn.

>>166029635
So... Where is your game?

>>166029673

hey this is looking good. any boss fights planned?

But there are mixels though. Look at these treasure chests. They are twice the size of any other pixels. Meaning they are a mixed pixel size.
Modern games can also use a pixel grid, to emulate old school resolutions without mixels, it's not hard at all. But if you take a sprite and scale it up twice as big, even if the pixel grid is still there, it will be a different size, it will be a mixed size.
Yes, many old games used scaled up sprites, they are scaled up, that means they have a mixed pixel size. It's breaking the aesthetic because it doesn't match the resolution of the other sprites. They used scaled up sprites to avoid file size constraints, or time constraints, or whatever else. But that doesn't stop it from breaking the aesthetic. And just so you know I'm not saying it's always bad, I'm just saying that usually it doesn't look as good as it would if you were to redraw the art at the resolution you intend it to be, rather than just scaling it.

Take a 3D game for example. There's a small model of a soda can, it's not very detailed, and the texture isn't high res, because it doesn't need to be. What if they later used that same model and scaled it up to the size of a human? It would look out of place. It would be better to make a more detailed model and texture to represent the larger model so it fits with the rest of the models.

>They are twice the size of any other pixels. Meaning they are a mixed pixel size.

no it means there are two pixels

any grid aligned, whole multiple of the base pixel size isn't mixels, just more pixels

>>166032291
no mixels or rixels there, boss

>>166031709
Yeah, i'm planning to have a boss fight at the end of each big area or somewhere in the middle

I'm not 100% sure what they're gonna be specifically because the areas themselves are going through some changes before i actually start with them, but i have a bunch of drafts of things that might work

fuck off

no that is definitely mixrixels

Time to add endica to the list.

>>166032552
there's nothing but pixels in retro consoles

>>166032065
Call it whatever you want, having small sprites and scaling them up still doesn't look as good as making new sprites at the intended size.

>>166032517
Authentic sounding, but what is this for?

>>166032517
9-11 seconds sounds off. Not meming

>>166032517
it think the progression is just a tad too long for it to be really catchy. It's original, and it's almost there, tough.

>>166031973
This pic is mixelated. Anyone that says otherwise is a newfag.

>>166032517
good 8/10

On my first listen I found the slower intro part too confusing. I mean it's a pretty complex motif and the rhythmic distribution isn't immediately obvious. Only after I heard the actual fast main theme did I understand what it is, and then on the second listen I could appreciate the intro for what it is trying to do in relation to the main part.

So in conclusion what I am trying to say is that the intro should be simplified to ease the listener into the full experience of the main theme, rather than being a slowed variation of the motif. That's my view at least
