>how do i git gud at art
Step 1 - learn if you have affinity for art.
Step 1.5 - seriously don't bother if you don't have any affinity, you're just going to waste your time
Step 2 - practice
Step 3 - note that practicing doesn't mean that you'll eventually git gud. Only stupid Americans think like that.

okay.

>>166265486
Practice doesn't mean that you'll eventually get good.

But you'll only get good by practicing.

The key is to actually seek to improve yourself instead of just random scribbling. There's no art genes, and art as a whole encompasses a VAST array of specialties, from technical drawing to realistic drawing to abstract to stylized to character art to environmental art, etc. Most big name artists have their own specialty they pursued and they can't exactly just be thrown into "gud artists vs bad artists" categories.

So for people who mess with 3d programmimg, what do you do for barriers/walls? In older 3d (n64 I know, maybe psx) walls were just programmed to reject the player when they tried to move into them. However say you were able to get into the wall. If you tried to move through the wall from the inside, you'd move through and come out the other side. Nowadays walls seem properly 2 way, so if you get stuck in the level then you are stuck stuck.
I was thinking trying 1 way walls on the off chance the player finds a way or a glitch occurs and they get stuck in the wall. I got this idea playing the Hat in Time demo because 2nd time I entered Mafia Town it spawned me under the map and I couldn't get back out.
What are your thoughts?

>>166265396
How?

>>166265754
Because the links don't have subtly accented characters to make the links purposely broken?

>>166265740
I wouldn't know I just enable collision and that's done with it.

Sometimes I get really down and dirty in it and put simple colliders on a mesh myself.

//is outside view
}

How do I make it so that it checks an extra 100~ or so pixels horizontally (left and right) before considering the object running it "not in view"? I'm using this in an object that spawns instances of enemies.
This is in gamemaker.

>its a discord thread

In Unity I have a script that creates a map and places the player in it, and another that gets a reference to the player to do stuff with it. I've set a custom script order so that the map generator happens first, but the second script is still failing to find it. Is it possible that my map is taking so long to make that the reference is made before the player is created?

yes but yours looks like its not sticking together properly

>>166269352
Oh, yeah, good point. I need to fine-tune the sphere-collision-growth per item collected still. If I don't grow the player's collider at all then it won't "roll" when too misshappen, but when I grow it too big, as you see in the webm, you get those invisible gaps. I think I can work on that.

I wonder how I can keep it more 'spherical' without those gaps. When I just turn off the collision scaling it gets more "webby" than circular.

You could just do a BFS or DFS that returns false after all paths have been checked, too many options have been checked, or the path is too distant from the starting point

>>166273593
Wouldn't you just need a 2d array and then make sure everything in [0][i], [i][0] [length-1][i], and [i][length-1] are all !=0 ?

Rooms can be of any shape, so it could also be

Rooms can also share walls.

>>166271086

>>166274271
Correct me if I'm misinterpreting what the algorithm should do, but here's how I would write it

When a wall is placed perform a BFS/DFS on 0's with a reasonably sized break (a bit more than you expect a maximum building size would have)
To make it more efficient, you could keep track of buildings that have already been confirmed rather than constantly checking (set 0s and 1s to 2s and 3s)
When 3 wall is broken, revert adjacent 2s in a chain along with their adjacent 3s

got game maker and I'm just trying to fully understand the basics before I fully commit to anything, so I have a question that hopefully someone here can answer. I got my character moving/jumping around and colliding with things, but when she hits the "ground" she just floats a few pixels above it (indicated by the red line)instead of flush with the surface. Its as if the game is counting the small weeds as solid as well, but why..? Another thing is that if my character sprite goes below that line and actually becomes flush with the ground it gets stuck, and I have to repeatedly jump to get out. Anyone know how I can fix this?

>>166274454
What your looking for is A* path finding or something of the sort. it takes a start and end point. to explain the pathfinding here would take way too many posts. so unless someone else wants to help you. just follow a tutorial and you should be fine.

>>166274847
how is the collision set up on the character and environment?

>>166274932
Through coding in the step event. Example:
if (vsp < 10) vsp += grav;

if (place_meeting(x,y+1, obj_ground))
{
vsp = key_jump * -jumpspeed;
}

and
// horizontal collision
if (place_meeting(x+hsp,y,obj_ground + obj_dirt))
{
while(!place_meeting(x+sign(hsp),y,obj_ground + obj_dirt))
{
x += sign(hsp);
}
hsp = 0;
}
x += hsp;

How do I set up a 2d array in Unity to do a drunken walk through it? I can make the grid easily enough, but I don't know what I should be doing to make it not spawn there. Currently thinking of having a dump location and just setting the deleted blocks to that one then not spawning any of them.

>>166275337
its exactly the same as horizontal collision code, just flipped to make it work with the Y coordinate.

>>166275513
>not setting up collision mask
thats like the most important part,

>>166274454
Post the data structure you are using, I figured a 2d array but if it's something else then I'm just guessing and I don't have enough info to give you a proper answer

>>166275513
Absolutely do not make any of your objects solid unless you're actually using that functionality.

>>166275541
Actually, that system wont work, because I need to know the location of the blocks as well.

Speaking of Unreal, I'd really love a primer on how to get a turn based strategy game working. It's really infuriating how they provide a sample one in the content browser but it's super complex, and every time they mention it in one of the videos they're like "oh yeah that exists just look at it if you want to know how it works."

>>166277720
Don't know man, doesn't sound that complicated to me. All you need is to keep tracking of turns in GameMode or something like that. Then in pawns I'd check if it's my turn and do the logic I need to (e.g. make AI decide on its attack or show available options in player's UI). Once your turn is complete - notify GameMode.

I keep coming across this thing in Unity where using space is just better. It's been much easier for me to spawn everything and then delete what I don't need than it has been for me to sort what's needed and only spawn those.

Why doesn't my spaghetti code work? It's much slower than my previous system just spawning it all and having the drunk walker just delete them with raycasts, and doesn't seem to stop any from spawning at all.

Does anyone here not use unity or UE4?

Okay, I've got it working now, but it's extremely slow to the point I thought it had crashed the first few times. Is this really more intensive than spawning and destroying everything?

>handmade hero isn't good software development
Ridiculous.
At worst it's making concessions in favor of being an educational stream. As he admitted in the recent stream where he introduced memory guards normally that's something he would do day 1 but due to the teaching nature of the show he can't really go ahead and implement every debug system he wants without motivating it. The show is about how you're working when you're at the cutting edge, you explore.
He's very explicit about him consciously taking the bad paths to show issues and conclude their solutions.

If what you want is a steam that shows you how to implement whatever FOTM game tech there is look elsewhere. The contents of that stream is going to be relevant for way longer than most stuff you can find nowadays. You can strip away the different domain specifics like how he's very cache conscious, he's working in 2D on an architecture with split GPU and CPU, and in an imperative programming language etc. What you're left with then is him showing how he approaches problems. He builds tools to help him make sense of his situation, he looks at a problem from many different perspectives and always ends up with very malleable code because he knows that's important. And I believe it always will be.

It's not surprising that you shitty devs can't dedicate an hour to listen to two experienced software engineers doing a post mortem of a system that was constructed with only good intentions. It's extremely educational to anyone with enough brainpower to analyse the issues they had on a more abstract level.

You really sicken me sometimes agdg.

So it sounds like the next thing to do is just keep doing more game jams.

I have a question about what approach I should take:

- Should I try to do the same genre of game over and over for each jam until I get to the point that I can make an actual sellable thing...

- Or should I try to do many different types of genres and game mechanics for game jams to try and use them as a portfolio of my ability as a <job here>?

I can't make serious games, I tried. I hope AGDG is ready for my superironic shitty games yo

The next thing to do is the whatever the fuck you want to do.

>>166281553
Practice

>>166281553
I'm an artist and pretty easy to work with. What's your game like?

>>166281553
You have three options
- Practice. It can mean months to years. It's up to your dedication and amount of time you spend on it.
- Do something which is not heavy on art.
- Do something with placeholders and hope some artist will be interested in it, or collab right from the beginning with one.

>>166281764
>>166281879
So, practice? It's not a talent? What about music then? Doesn't music theory take forever to learn?

>>166276493
Looking pretty damn great, gave me a nuclear throne vibe without some things I didn't like the small window you had.
The only gripe I have with yours right now is that you have to get close to get the blue orbs, personally I would like them to come to me after some time

How long would it take to make 3d models for four characters? I'm currently trying to make a game with Unreal Engine 4, and I understand most of the coding aspects of it so far, but I know almost nothing about graphic design.

>>166266835

Some people learn programming or art or music more quickly. But as long as you're willing to learn and practice, you can do it.

>>166281981
Music is hard to write even if you know music theory.

t. a guy who has been playing guitar for 10 years

>>166281981
Anon. Did it took forever to get into coding or finish the schools and classes you have finished so far? No. You can learn anything. There's no talent, there's only willingness to learn something and interest in something. But that's a key factor: being interested. If you only want to do art because you want to make a game, then you are going to have a hard time, because you'll be only thinking about when you'll have something which you can load into your game, and won't focus on drawing. You have to enjoy these things to a certain degree, you have to get invested in them to get to somewhere.

>>166282026
Completely depends on how detailed you want the characters. For low poly maybe a day for each character, maybe another day for animations. For a more detailed character, could be a week or more.

I wish I was talented in physics. No matter how hard I stare at a problem, no inspo.

Whats the math for calculating a bullet reflection off a wall? I cannot figure it out for the life of me

Texturing question: I've seen this video on youtube where this guy made a texture as sort of a palette of colors. Then he basically unwrapped single faces and shrinked them down a lot to make them fit in each color block in the texture.
This gives the model a flat, toon-shading like look, but I was wondering, does shrinking down the UV map so much cause problems?

Stop making fun of me. You know it's not that simple.

I guarantee no one ITT understood game programming just because they knew how to program normal scripts and projects.

>>166290906
>You know it's not that simple.
Yes it is
I think you lied about already knowing how to program.

the previous reasons is that it required AAA $1000 tools to even import shit and had a dead end licensing model

cryengine V changed both of those things, so it looks pretty viable now

they have a constant flow of license money from >>166281814

If you can evoke that trance-like state, it could be pretty comfy.
You probably won't be able to get that though. That's actually quite a bit of work, planning and playtesting. But you can try.

Oh how wrong you are.

>>166290906
Dude it actually is "that simple."

Go download Gamemaker or something and do the tutorial projects.

Go get Unity and watch a youtube video or something.

If you know how if-statements work, and know simple math, you can make a game.
It's not rocket science. Unless you want to make it rocket science of course. Like Kerbal Space Program.

uh, write something down... Your end goal should never be to do just jams until you can make a "sellable game jam", that's pretty stupid. Your end goal should be to make a game that you want to make, regardless of if its sellable or not. If its a good game then it being sellable will come by default because of the fact that you put dedication into it.

Just write something down in notepad on what you want to accomplish in your own core game. Game jams are only used to get you comfortable with a game engine/coding BEFORE you start your own ideal game.

People will give you shit for making a game in that genre, but it's dope.
