I'm starting to wonder if I'm trying to make it "too easy", because this guy is using "rings" (see pic) and I don't really get what he's doing there.

>>166721173
Because it's tedious and just begs for automation of some kind. And it's standard for almost all 2d games with tilemaps, especially with procedurally generated maps.

Is animator-kun-senpai around? How can I get good first person animations for melee combat?

>>166721321
Actually, I was serious. You can find variations of this algorithm using similar diagrams in like every book about graphics programming which was published the last decades. Marching squares is so ancient, I assumed it's common knowledge. Especially here where a lot of people work on retro 2D stuff.

Apologies if it was too vague.

I need some help understanding meshes in Voxel engines (especially the Minecraft kind).

Let's say I have a Minecraft-like voxel engine with textures, like picrelated. A big part of optimization is reducing draw calls (i.e. drawing only what is visible to the player). So the way I understand it, is that instead of drawing full cubes you draw squares, which will form a mesh of all the visible sides of cubes.

Look at the tree trunks in the picrelated. Those aren't squares, those are rectangles that have a repeated texture.

Am I missing something, or were those drawn in a single draw call that will also put multiples of that texture?

Level design ugu~~~

>>166721643
Don't put too much thought into the tree trunks, those are a very specific optimization. It's far more important to -generally- avoid drawing anything invisible. So first of all you obviously don't draw anything which is not inside the field of view (i.e. objects behind your back), then you don't draw polygons where the face normal is not pointing towards the camera (backsides of the cubes), then you sort your shit by distance and don't draw stuff in the background where you already drew opaque stuff in the foreground. With block worlds like minecraft you can kinda calculate "when I have drawn a cube here right in front of me, I don't need to draw any cubes in the background which are concealed by it" (and since everything is a cube, you can use relatively simple math for that projection) and so on.

>>166721436
As much as I like proper first person, with full model, animation, it's really hard and there's a reason that most people use a FPS model to do them.

>>166721643
is anyone keeping track of the number of times that i googled something, couldn't find the answer, wrote a post with my question, then googled some more, and found the answer? because we need to increment that

https://0fps.net/2013/07/09/texture-atlases-wrapping-and-mip-mapping/

>>166721960
Yeah, those are obvious and I'll do them since they're not too hard to figure out. I just didn't know how can greedy meshing with textures be done. The link above says it's possible, so I'll look into it if I ever struggle with performance.

>>166719035
Smoke doesn't match rest of the artstyle, fire could use some more variation and layers, possibly an animated spritesheet or something.

What's a good third person camera to emulate?

Dark Souls? Mass Effect?

>>166720659
>>166721113
http://www.saltgames.com/article/awareTiles/

Here's one approach that only cares about it's own tile type and not what it's bordering. You could maybe combine this with the rings method to get a nice amount of variation.

>>166722350
what genre?

>>166722350
It depends entirely on what type of game you're planning to use it for.

Different cameras are good for different purposes.

>>166722394
>>166722423

Something with both melee combat and heavy magic attack/spell use

>>166722475
I might consider something like Tera's camera. It has a soft lock system for spells and works really nicely for it's melee as well. And most importantly works well with a mouse.

>>166722475

Is it acceptable to ask about modding?

I'm planning to do a campaign for one of the NWN games, for which I'll have to add/remove races, classes, gods, tinker with spells (new spells, changing costs) and generally mess around with that sort of thing to fit my setting. I'm planning on using only base game and expansion assets and I don't care about the graphics.

Having only played the games through lended copies ages ago, I'll have to buy either of them.

Which game is better to work with? It can be of ease of use of the toolkit, for reasons related to the base game (I remember NWN2's clunky controls and people seem to prefer NWN's UI) or whatever. Keep in mind that I'm a first-timer when it comes to modding and scripting in general.

OPEN YOUR EYES!

I've never used a coroutine in Unity. What sort of situations do you actually need them in? Would it have made my turn-based game easier to make?

Coroutines are a meme and should only be used in loading

>>166723915
yes

>>166723915
I don't think there's a situation that needs a coroutine. It might've saved you some code somewhere but Unity in general isn't well suited out of the box for turn based games so you always have to code a lot of shit for that to work.

>>166723792
Modding isn't gamedev and unless someone has personally modded NWN they probably can't help you. Google can.

>>166723889
Look up to the sky and see

If you're doing any kind of "real game" in unity you should be writing your own engine to handle the general update cycle using regular C# classes instead of attaching monobehaviors to shit and letting go of any control of the order things are executed

>>166724185
>Unity in general isn't well suited out of the box for turn based games
How is it not well suited? It has everything you'd ever need for a turn-based game.

>>166723915
I only use coroutine when I need to have some code in the same method execute at different times.

Say, for example you're generating a 9000x9000 grid of something complex. You can do this in a single for, but chances are if you do it in a single frame you're going to have a hell of a fps drop.
You can "try" to work your code around by adding some temporary variable keeping track of which object you're generating etc. but that's additional work.
With a coroutine you still use a single for but it allows you to put a yield in between and you're done :
- for (x,y)
- do your stuff
- yield, wait for x number of frames or t time
- endfor
And you're done. No shaddy temporary variable or anything here.

>>166724443
except for any kind of way to make turns, yeah

>>166724272
It really depends on what you're making.

A lot of games can be made with MonoBehaviours and as long as you're not full retarded about it they can even be fairly nicely structured.

Writing it all yourself will probably get you some performance though. Assuming you're good enough to write it well.

>>166724443
This >>166724510

Any real time game doesn't really need a new major system to be implemented before you can start developing/prototyping it on Unity.

>>166724510
You know you ACTUALLY have to code to make games, right? It isn't just supposed to be 'Oh, I'll just load the Turn-based Mechanics asset'.
And turn-based games is child's play anyway if you know state-machines

>>166724272
Except you can control the order in Unity.

>>166724642
the whole point of using an engine is so you can just focus on content and game logic

you have to build a turn based engine on top of unity to start, that's not "everything you need"

>>166724730
but turn-based is game logic

Why don't you make your own script execution order controller or something?

You don't necessarily have to use Update with any MonoBehaviours, you can do it the old way and have a script managing the updates of every objects.

Also, how many NPCs should my Comfy Jam game have? I was thinking of making 4-5 with palette swaps if needed.

No. You can create your own subset of C++ that acts almost identical to C. Then you only have more options from there.

Furthering that idea I think after the games opening cut-scene the opening level will be saving this cat, and then the both of you travel through the game together. (He shows up on the stages from time to time to give dialogue but is always on the level selection map following you).

I'm considering making it so after every world (8 total) you save a new npc with their own character that will follow you on your quest to get home.

Kinda like the animal buddies or something from kirby/ his friends. I would just need to figure out 7 other animals that make sense to fit into cubes.

How did you make the smooth fading on the textbox?

So I've been reading up on east european mythology to make enemy encounters in my game. (So I can divert from standard Tolkien stuff.)

And I came across several different versions of Nymphs, the ones in particular that caught my eyes are Samodiva and Iele.

Similarities between them are that they're both ethereal women with incredible seductive powers found at midnight dancing.
Some differences are that Samodiva has blonde hair and invites men to dance with them to exhaustion and death, while Iele have bells attached to their feet and they only turn aggressive if you refuse their invitation to dance (and won't kill you if you do). Iele are also found in groups of either 3 or 7.

Now my point is, would it be unfair to the player if the game has encounters with both of these, and he'll have to pick up on the differences and whether he has to refuse the dance or not solely through tidbits of lore gained from libraries or taverns?
Would you be frustrated if you chose to dance one time and got away with it, and in another playthrough (or in the same playthrough) met again some dancing ladies, chose to dance and got a game over instead?

>>166730045
game over is a bit needlessly harsh. If you can instead make it a hard but doable fight then you can avoid wasting a player's time.

You should also signal in some way that the player failed an IRL perception check when they do. Maybe by giving them unique names or making the distinguishing features more prominent during a fight or w/e. That way, people who prefer to learn from experience are given a proper pathway for that (fuck up once -> realize why they attacked -> don't fuck up again)

> If you can instead make it a hard but doable fight then you can avoid wasting a player's time.

I was thinking of that,but the player had options like
-Run away on sighting them (which avoids the battle)
-Attack them (battle)
-Choose to dance (game over)

And making the last two options to the same thing seems kinda redundant. Then again it just came to me that I could make them battle except heavily debuffed after they realize they've been dancing for hours, thanks anon.

So what? Do it anyways.

If I had to take out every detail that has been done in the past I wouldn't have a game.

Just because another thing has done it in the past doesn't mean you can't put your own twist or vision into it.

Look at >>166734026 - if you were him you could say "oh man I can't continue because dark souls" or "oh man I can't continue because salt and sanctuary" but even though it may look similar in the surface you can take a good look at it and know that it's completely different, because even though the elements are similar, the vision is different, and that sets it apart from the source of inspiration he might've had.

My friends and esteemed colleagues,

My main event loop has a pretty involved hover system with a bunch of draws and forces being applied.

I'm revamping its functionality and refactoring and I'd like to know, would it help significantly to add up all these forces into one vector and then just apply it all at once when all the hover components have been polled? As it is, I'm just adding it with every single one.

Been a while. Got a really shitty kind of grid restricted item placement for the start of my Harvest Moon clone. Doesn't check for overlaps yet and I need to draw a decal onto the ground to indicate which grid tile is being interacted with.
Fuck blueprints btw. Not nearly as intuitive as I was made to believe. I would have gotten this done a lot quicker just writing in c++. Oh well.

>>166724443
So does assembly.

>>166726501
Is there a reason NOT to fly when you are in a suit? It looks like unlimited flight at the moment but that is probably just for testing purposes?

>>166739315
assembly isn't an engine

>>166739304

What'd you do to tile them like that?

>>166739535
So? Just because you can make a turn-based game in Unity doesn't mean it's going to be a smooth task. Unity is designed around updating state continuously each tick. When your logical game ticks don't correspond to update/render ticks, it becomes much more difficult.

Even Unity's coroutines aren't going to help much since it's the engine itself that runs them. You have to reimplement coroutines using a state machine (at least you can still use C# generators for yielding) yourself that then runs on top of what Unity exposes to you, and you have to get all your game logic to work with that state machine. That's not straightforward when Unity itself handles game objects and components - you have to essentially forget about using that and roll your own game object system.

>>166723206
>I still unironically don't have an idea for what to make
I'm a failure.

>>166739646
Round their position to nearest multiple of whatever grid cell size I specify.

In other words, saying "Unity can do everything" is completely meaningless because any Turing-complete language can do anything.

Working on a game engine that uses javafx for the GUI and in preliminary attempts at mapping WASD to movement I'm running into an issue. I cant (or at least couldnt find a way to) take multiple key inputs at the same time beyond standardly used modifiers such as CTRL/Shift, which means of course you cant move diagonally. I got around this by using booleans that are True while a key is pressed and turn false when a key is released, but this might be making my Application or Animation thread crash. Anyone know a better work around or bit of the API I might have missed, or am I stuck using booleans and have to work around whatever is causing it to crash with it instead?

If you've ever spent any time on twitter, the sheer amount of people you will find who call themselves gamedevs, have pixel art avatars, retweet game dev theory links constantly, but have either no progress to speak of, or consider mockups and 'baby's first tutorial game' tweetworthy... well it's pretty depressing.

>>166741020
If you really want to use Java and not use a game engine, you should use LibGDX. A desktop GUI application framework is really unsuitable for a game.

My bet is that your multithreading is the source of the bug but you don't need more than one thread to make a game (besides optimization purposes, but most games won't benefit) if you use the proper tech.

hard to pitch my game atm since it is in its basic stages, but that's what I get for writing most things from scratch.

I don't recommend JavaFX OVER libGDX, my point was that it works and that OP must be doing something wrong.

I'll work with you on a project and am willing to pay a very considerable wage, I consider $25 an hour pretty fair for a high level artist. All I need is your portfolio and we can exchange contact information.

What, you don't have a portfolio? You don't have any examples of your work?

Then why are you posting?

>>166740000

Makes sense nice quads

>>166744751
>$25?! That's insulting. People pay me over $100 an hour, easy, for the amazing art I am always making that I will never show here because where is your game

Holy shit, what are some better communities for artists looking to gamedev then

>>166744952
None, if you're not willing to post your art when asked.

Actually, I take that back. The Sonic community would probably be delighted to have you.

Being an "artist" is 100% portfolio

>>166744952
>doesn't post any art
>refusing people based on choice of language

Idiots like you will be rejected anywhere. Learn how to actually present yourself and you'll be taken seriously, if indeed you're not being a shitposting little shit.

Time to giver her a campfire to sit around.

>>166745030
Oh and just to be clear, I know that your 'stage 2 of this elaborate troll that nobody instantly recognizes' will be to post art that isn't yours and still turn down offers.

>someone shitposts all over the thread, complains about the thread being filled with shit, and "threatens" to leave
I've seen this before.

>>166745110
>implying I'm going to post art in a place that immediately starts shitting on me
Yeah what's my problem

>>166743981
Don't worry, JavaFX is workable enough. The downside, compared to a "real" game framework, is that you're going to have to implement various stuff yourself which is usually conveniently handled/wrapped by game oriented frameworks. Like dunno spritesheets/texture atlases, animations, physics and so on. But if you want to go into "professional" java programming it's a good idea to get acquainted with JavaFX because eventually it's going to become part of the OCP/OCA certifications (currently you don't need it yet, the tests are still targetting Java 7 and AWT/SWING).

And good luck, I'd suggest starting with a very basic project where you can simply move a sprite with cursor keys or WASDF, without any complications like multithreading, and once that part is running ok you can import it into your main project.

>>166745196
If you are afraid to post art then its shit, and you know this. nothing to do with aggydag or any other community

When it comes to that whole sphere of """gamedevs""" I am reminded of this most strongly

Sorry for thinking artists were welcome here, believe me it won't happen again

>>166745429
just fuck off already you con-artist

>>166745196
Why on earth would you refuse working on a SFML project? That's of zero concern for you as an artist. Go fuck yourself.

>>166745196
Not posting your fucking art in the first place idiot. You're offering yourself as an artist, in your very first post offering that, you need to have a link to your portfolio or post some art. If you don't even understand such a simple concept as selling yourself to people, as well as making yourself look attractive on a first impression you won't succeed here, you won't succeed anywhere. We regularly get retarded artists like you who are too scared to present their art and it just devolves into shitposting, assuming that you're not just a retarded shitposter. If you're 100% serious, rethink what you're doing because you're being a fucking idiot.

>>166744368
Shit's hard. I might add a keyboard-only control scheme with 8-way aiming for fun, currently it's keyoard + mouse. Also planning on gamepad support.

Do you put voice acting in your games anons?

>closet nodevs will blame /agdg/ funposting for "demotivating' them

When did you realize you're a failure and will never accomplish anything of value?

>>166745810
Yes. Why?

this is exactly how gogem acted to aviary attorney dev during his steam launch

Well, since we're getting artist shitposting going on with here, and we have a disappointed SFMLanon, I'd like to get a little more practice with art by doing a very small game with one of you anons. To show that I'm serious, attached is an image of the game I'm arting right now. I will say that I'm a programmer learning art and I'm looking for a game the size of a jam game or perhaps something mobile in size. Something where I can get experience with tiled backgrounds preferably. Certainly one of you anons has something I can assist with that isn't very large? I don't want to be away from the RPG too long.

>He made a mobile "game"
>He calls himself a gamedev

>>166746050
You don't need money. You just need to sift through lots of bad auditions and offer credit.

>>166745848
never had that thought for even a second

I don't understand why people keep on falling for the "artists looking for" shitpost.
Though I suspect that it's probably just the same imbecile samefagging again.

>>166745834
Because this place is bullshit, that's why. Just because we have some devs who are still willing to post here doesn't make that place any less shit.
I just copied the hard filter list from the anon yesterday and despite half of the thread being filtered, half of the remaining half is still about faggots shitposting about the damn same thing over and over again.

No wonder why someone would eventually get tired of this and leave. If anything I'm surprised that some idiots have so much free time in their hand that they've been shitposting in this thread for more than 2 years now.

>>166745895
Just wondering.

I can help you out if you don't have a lot of words to say

I do, sadly. It's an RPG. I'll save up and find some youtube voices for cheap if I can.

>>166745848
But I have valuable accomplishments, for one being a live isn't as easy as it seems. There are way more dead people than living

I'm looking to art for a game.

I'll only work with people using C# though.

>>166745810
I don't want to associate with big headed personalities that think their voice are the entire reason my game has any appeal

>>166745394
I don't understand how obnoxious scum like this can look themselves in the mirror and not want to kill themselves every day. I couldn't get 30 seconds into that video just based on how annoying that person is.

You're going to find the same people here as you would on YouTube.
You know the guys who do DBZ Abridged? A bunch of them do voice acting out of this forum as well. All of it is free - it's literally in the board rules that it must be for free.
