Last bit of comfy progress!
As promised, I started working on the claw. Now you can activate it when the ship is not moving. I forgot to make it so you can't go back to sailing if the claw's active but I fixed it right after recording the webm.

The plan is to make the claw go underwater, and if you're in the right spot (which will be marked by particles, lights all that shit), the claw will go further down and the minigame will begin. Otherwise it will stop for a moment then quickly come back up.

anime games?

There's no Katamari style games for PC that are fun to play, you have to emulate. Besides, I'm going to differentiate the actual gameplay goals and overall mechanics. Making a small thing a big thing has been a core staple of fun arcade games since fuckin Fishy on newgrounds. But yeah I don't care if I'm just making a Katamari clone it'll be fun.

>>166326875
I feel like there should be some amount of randomization so they don't fall exactly the same way every time

Weapons can be changed easily by the way.
Movesets are provided via animation blueprints.
Weapon range is dynamic and according to the actual thing in the enemies hand.

>>166327335
There kinda is. It's just the torque impulse that is currently always the same and thus it ruins the effect.

Anon, I feel the art direction is scattered everywhere in that screenshot, the item images are pixel art, the text describing what you got is smooth and round, the black and white symbol that I assume is money is very low quality and less pixels than the other images, the Year XXX text is in yet another font and the game is in 3d

After a few hours of futile fiddling with physics settings, I've decided that mesh colliders are just not worth dealing with.

>>166327856
the fuck is your scale at?

>>166327856
looks to me like you're not moving that cuboid using the physics system

>>166326919
I like this

>>166328040
Centimeters. Everything is scaled that way, though I should go back and change things to meters anyway.

>>166328054
Correct, it's animation driven, although I've set the animator involved to use physics and all objects there are using continuous dynamic detection. The pins are not kinematic, but the sweep is.

>>166327856
>unity

>>166327856
Anime bowling?

>>166328626
>Centimeters.
Assuming you haven't messed with your shadow settings, your sweep is roughly a hundred meters wide. Your shit is too big, which is why the physics are freaking out.

>>166327457
Got any weapons other than clubs and swords? Those two are very similar, so I'm wondering how well it would look with a dagger or floret.

>>166328957
A real life hundred-meter-wide sweep could knock some pins over.

>>166328626
move the cuboid using this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.MovePosition.html

you can see by the way the pins roll on the floor when they fall over that the collider works as intended. if you move the cuboid as i suggested, i believe it should work. i don't think that it's a problem with scale, as some other anon pointed out. geometry doesn't stop working because the numbers are big but there's a slight chance that i'm wrong.

>>166329296
Pity that isn't real life. It's a simulation with a poorly coded physics engine.

Testing some '''''''''''''''mechanics'''''''''''''' for my 100% original idea

You guys remember those flash games like the kitten canon one where you fire the kitten out of the canon and it hits trampolines and explosives and shit and the further you get the higher your score? My idea is to make something similar in 3d with a bunch of powerups and score multipliers.

I hate the lack of standards or public general practices for certain things, it feels like having ot reinvent the wheel but knowing that every published dev has already made a way to do what you're trying to do.

Like right now I'm trying to make a cutscene system, but I simply don't know the best way to do it

>>166332063
>>166332063
Th-thanks. Satisfying challenge is my #1 priority for it since it's essentially going to be a glorified flash game. The further the distance the harder it's going to become; you gain momentum each bounce and the obstacles become sparser, and stuff like being rewarded for strategic use of powerups, having multiple scoring criteria etc.

>>166333380
Remember that the too is irrelevant as long as you make a game with it. Don't let yourself get memed on.

Having functional software doesn't make them money. The more they break in Unity, the more third party assets they can sell and get their 30% sale fee on top of their now doubled Unity price tag.

Unity question here.

Does anyone know of a way to generate a 2D collider on a group of game objects in a grid, similar to the way you can generate a single collider over a mesh using marching squares?

I want to have some pretty basic destructible terrain, similar to broforce and I'd really prefer not to have to use meshes and 3d colliders, particularly since if I use sprites I can build the levels in tiled instead of having to make my own level editor.

Your forced memes are not memes. Memes take on organically. Spamming about some random gay shit that made you giggle that nobody else noticed or cares about isn't a meme.

>Not at all.
What's the filter then?

>>166337503
Agdg could use more assets and a set of sprites for a cute girl.

You want to be useful or not? Or are you just trying to shitpost bait like usual with your artists looking for bullshit?

>>166337907
90% of artistis offering art here will end in bait and shitposting, you can spot them easily as soon as the post along "show your game first" or when they dodge questions like >>166337440
Legit artist will usually ask as for contact info when someone seems interested on they art.

>>166338650
as if some artist is going to make shit for you when you don't even have a game to show

>>166338650
Artists don't need programmers. Gamedev tools have evolved to the point where a dedicated programmer is an optional requirement in a team.

People who say they're artists looking for a project are just salty programmers.

>>166338883
an artist that's actually looking for a project and is worth their salt wouldn't dodge questions, especially not in a sarcastic manner like >>166337440 since this way they out themselves as a cunt that's difficult to work with

>>166337038
Not interested but good luck.

>>166338904
Truth is, we are either dealing with a really salty programmer that got fucked by an artist, a really salty artist that got fucked by a programmer, or a really autistic kid that thinks repeating the same joke over and over makes it funnier.

>>166337689
>What's the filter then?
>no reply
Exactly. Shitposting """memes""" like that you can't filter. It can be approached from so many directions that eventually you just have to suspect any post mentioning artists and programmers in the same post. This is the wonderful gift shitposters give agdg.

>tfw too famous to post art

I think artists don't like posting their work here because once we do, we'll be beholden to whatever we say; if we like the project we can maybe continue, but if we agree to help and hate it midway it's harder to go back on your word when people know you.

Basically we're just super flaky and want to quit whenever the fuck we want.

>>166339112
Or they could be a different person who decided to come and hijack a discussion to fuck with people in the thread while they wait for their shit to compile.

it's harder to learn to make amazing art than it is to make functional code.

>>166339334
If you post your art in agdg you run the risk of the shitposter hunting down everything you've ever done online and either spamming it in the thread or stalking you on other sites because that's the kind of insane faggot he is. I would totally understand reluctance in that regard.

>>166339334
That's way once you are interested with working with someone you ask for contact info to avoid shit like that being made public and shit like >>166339386 happening

>>166339431

>>166339605
Plus we both don't know shit about each other. If I met someone who dedicated hours a day into 4chan, I imagine a lazy asshole who'll quit a project halfway. Anonymity doesn't work too well for finding partners.

>>166339540
That's because those are two different things. 'Functional' could be anything. Something as simple as a timer that count to 10. That's 'functional'. So by comparing 'amazing' art to 'functional' code, you're essentially comparing a stick figure done in ten seconds to something that was actually worked on by someone.

>>166339584
Has that happened? Because if shitposter was really that insane he would stalk any dev that has posted a website or contact info, and I have never seen anyone complaining about that happening.

>all this dodging and irrelevant facts about artists
One artist did post the agdgtan model for free and nobody did a witch-hunt on him.
Posting a 2D girl for the comfy jam is safe and will probably give you plenty of fanarts.

Let's be serious. You're not doing it and you keep on posting the same question because you have no plan to do anything in the first place.

Pic related is another girl that got posted for free and the dev got good fanart.

>>166339865
functional as in "it just works".
you can see every mistake in a piece of art, but you can have a shit ton of bad programming in a script and nobody would ever know.

In Unity, if I get a count of all gameobjects, delete some gameobjects, then count again in one frame, the count doesn't change. Anyone know why?

>>166339869

>>166340116
Delete simply marks the object for deletion, which occurs at the end of the frame.

>>166340116
references to deleted objects still work for the frame they are deleted in because garbage collection is end-tick.

How is getting fan art of a single picture (asset) someone posted relevant?

>>166341341
Its actually representing a program, the "npc says" part is what gets printed on the screen, and the "response options" are what to do depending on what the user types. So entering "0" will act as if the player made the first dialogue choice, or it can be configured for the player to type the input to match the response option (typing NEXT instead of boring numerical options), or directing what the player inputs into a stored value, or just automatically continue to the next dialogue node without waiting for a response. It has some handy reflection for calling functions. The only problem is now all the logic for programs is in these assets that are only accessible through Unity, not in any random IDE so its not portable.

I'm making a 2.5d platformer where you play as a slime that has dropped off a far larger slime and needs to get home. As you go through levels you collect other slimes and slowly grow in size. You can liquify yourself to fit through grates, fill up with hot air to float temporarily, or even absorb an enemy in your mouth as kind of 'crowd control' measure where they will eventually break free and rejoin the fight. I haven't started on any actual assets yet, just using primitives in Unity.

Does this sound worth continuing to anyone else? Just curious.

>>166341494
>How is getting fan art of a single picture (asset) someone posted relevant?

I'm trying to go for a minimalist art style, since I cannot even into art. Is it true that I should use as few colors as possible? I want to make a really "happy" game, like Katamari, and I feel like a monochrome style wouldn't really fit with the mood.

>>166345675
Depends on the game. Some games rely more on level design than others. Typically you should have a rough level that you test your gameplay on. Get the gameplay feeling pretty good, then start designing more levels.

>>166345968
>what's the recommended process for shooting videos then?

nvidia shadowplay -> trim/crop w/ webmforretards -> ffmpeg ->mp4

Alternatively just use shadowplay, it outputs an mp4 but I dont think you can specify recording regions

you don't need to go anywhere to learn programming, just make dumb shitty programs

just do it enough until you get the hang of it and only need to search very abstract problems.

The thing that's great about programming is anyone can learn it, and there are so many free sources to learn it. That being said, I was told I should learn to program things that aren't games, and understand it/work with it for a while before I try to make a game.

So, like, do I do that or learn how to use Unity from their tutorials and just learn as I go on my project?

Thanks. And since I don't wanna bother with college, and it's cheaper/faster to go to trade school, that's probably what I'll do I guess.

Gonna get a job here in town, get my GED which I'm late on because I opted for a full time job over HS, then get a car and go to trade school for programming I guess.

Is it autistic or helpful to draw art/ideas for your game while you're trying to learn how to make it?

>>166347430
making games is autistic, do whatever you think will help you finish.

I need a methodology though fampai

SURPRISE QUIZ

in c#, you have a list<t>. you add an element to the list using list.add(foo(list.count)).

Q: is the parameter passed to foo the number of elements before you called .add or after?

I don't know much about files, If I want to make a saved game in game maker, should I use an ini, a txt or a binary? And should I use fa_hidden or fa_system?

>>166347515

Is there a superior game making language or can you do the same things with each one? I imagine the mechanics I want to implement won't be particularly easy to code.

>>166347643
After, since list.count appears after list.add, and pajeet languages are evaluated right to left

>>166347217
You'll probably hit a wall pretty early if you start with unity. I mean you could try it and see how well you understand stuff and go from there.

>>166347886

yes

And I assume that I will need to use precision for the mechanics I want to implement.

How would players feel about XCOM if units had no HP?

>>166348273
Hey, I am doing something similar in terms of mechanics, do you have any suggestions on how to find coding or tutorials based around something tailing an object, my game focuses around noodles moving.

>>166349206
chess pieces don't have HP and that game works out pretty well.

>>166349248
Is your game realtime? The method I use wouldn't apply at all then. I just store info in a 2d grid.

Is your game physics based?
Is your game 3d?
Do you want the noodles to flop around, or to follow a set path?
All these change the implementation details.

>>166349248
There is another game with the mechanics you want. Search for "Snake Game Tutorial" + Your Language / Engine

>>166349206
Honestly the biggest thing that puts me off XCOM is all the dice rolls. I can understand some randomness, but in XCOM even if you set up a perfect play you can still get fucked from bad rolls, missing too many shots. This sort of thing just isn't fun to me.

>>166349490
>>166349985
2D realtime, the game needs to know when a noodle has wrapped around an object pretty much. but also needs to spawn in many noodles like an actual bowl of noodles would work, slightly random, maybe some slight physics eventually of noodles swirling in broth

how does aggydag feel about yanderedev?

>>166350560

The point of X-Com is surviving bad RNG across multiple engagements by making consistently sound tactical decisions. You can't beat bad RNG in single engagements, you can only beat it by having more good engagements.

>>166350560
I don't have "feelings" about other gamedevs because I'm not a faggot.

He's going to be rich whenever he feels like putting his game out or do his kickstarter, but I highly suspect development is going to drag on for 10 years and when it does release it will be a huge disappointment as all games that take that long to develop are. His scope creep and eagerness to whine about the difficulty of being 1MA (who actually uses volunteer help) is insane.

I think it's safe to say yanderedev is the whiniest well known game dev ever. It's fucking amazing how much time this guy has spent making videos just to complain about things, and they're often very long videos. It's almost abusive to his fan base to keep doing this.

>>166351620
To be fair he brings up in the first few minutes of this video that there's games where you play as a dude taking panty shots and that's fine, and South park is fine.

Obviously the problem is as this guy said >>166351508 he made an anime fetish game, and the majority of Twitch is run by faggot redditors, and reddit gets triggered around the sight of anime.

This doesn't really effect anyone here though.

can someone who is better at trig give me a hand here, I'm trying to get something to rotate from the center, but it only wants to rotate around the center of the width and not the height for the image.

I figured if I used sin to get the height of the triangle the angle makes, I could just halve it and it would be center, like I did with cosine, but nothing. it rotates around the white dot in the pic.

You should be able to pick out some similarities in the intonation. I'm not american so I don't know how much of this is just a local accent and how much is actual autism voice, but it's a certain accent that seems to be common among autistic people who make videos online

the problem here is not the animation but the sword swing. who uses a sword like that? as much as i like the art here that sword swing is the exact opposite of juicy.

unless your doing an attack like on purpose the point needs to make an arc.

>>166354691
he does it "ironically"

are comical death animations like this allowed anymore or is it too 'graphic' for cartoon violence standards considering some of them are getting chopped in half and blown to pieces?
Would it be different if it was a cartoon low poly kid?

Had the idea to parse the terrain model and conver it to a grid with z values. This is the result!

What does everyone listen to while deving?

Depends on the mood. Everything from vaporwave to eurobeat based on how much pressure there is

>>166354005
look for a new bf on the discord

>>166355018
Nah, especially if its all comical like that video. Worst one I can think of is the spike going through Lara's head in Tomb Raider.

>>166354636
Not sure how good an example this video is
because I'm pretty sure that back when people were using longswords, they weren't fencing with them

best engine for mobile games that uses static typing and doesn't use gradle?

>>166355204
By acceptable I mean for a "kid friendly" game, not something aimed specifically at adults like tomb raider

>>166355105
Vaporwave is excellent while coding. Mellows me out completely.

> recommending someone the AGDG discord

The discord is horrible. Don't need a bf either, just a friend.

>>166355554
no it isn't and he just said why
>they weren't fencing with them
you dont hop and jive around on a battlefield, you run, swing, hope youre not dead, hope someone on your side is ready to defend you because your sword is stuck in the dudes collarbone, give up the sword and pull out a secondary weapon.
