I don't plan on the player flying anything bigger than a fighter, but having to fight against larger ships with turrets and stuff seem like a given. It's part of the reason I've been working on pic related. The other part being that I want the player's weapons to also be turreted to make mouse flying easier.

>>166878103
Simplify a lot more. Reduce the noise of the whole tile.

Pick a little more depth and add in different hues, instead of just different values.

The grass and the wall clash because their colour schemes and values are so different. You have to change one or the other to be closer or to add in some transition art between them.

Overall it is a really nice design, so try and tweak before going in for full re-draws.

>>166878103
Grass looks fine, but cliffs look boring, because of repeating pattern. Add more cliff-things, so it won't be all the same everywhere (or at least lest noticeable) and it will be good.

Thank you! I'll pull out my tablet and see if I can get it looking less repetitive and a bit more simple. I can make a couple cliff tiles and use those randomly on cliff walls to lessen the repeating effect.

Oh, man. First the girl poops into your open hands. Then you get to work polishing it up. The better job you do, the more lustrous the shine, the more she will want to marry you when you present your gift.

Going to ask on this thread also:
So with GM:S I can display fps but I cannot seem to get it to display decimal values with it. Does anyone know what I would need to do in order to get (i.e.) 58.3 to show up instead of just 58?

I guess what I am aiming for is as accurate a representation of the value as possible for display.

I meant more in terms of a ship to fleet role. Going back to the freespace example, you couldn't go near that type of corvette because it'd shred you. Instead you'd be screening your allied corvettes against enemy bombers/fighters so they can go over and kill it.

Of course, missions were still scripted so you got to fly around the deathstar and blow up it's reactor.

You may already have a completely different gameplay loop already knocking about in your head, which is fine. I was just curious.

>>166878904
You might be able to calculate the FPS yourself with the deltavalue which would give you a decimal but I can't remember how that worked since we have the fps var now.

>>166879103
Oh, I see. I'm aiming for a very arcade approach, so while larger ships would definitely be more dangerous and require care when fighting, it wouldn't be so dangerous that you couldn't do it at all. I do really like the idea of having backup and friendlies though, even if they would mostly be for distractions than anything else. I like when it's not just you. Plus it just looks cool.

But I'm just ideaguying at this point though. I'm nowhere near close enough to really say anything like that.

>>166877926

I think I'll add the melee attack. Just spent the last few hours wrestling with the hand rig not exporting properly.

Note to anyone else who attempts 3D LibGDX: Don't go overboard on control bones and extra constraints in your rig, the Blender G3D exporter can be really unreliable with non-deforming bones.

I want to make an isometric game for practice.
I'm pretty god damn slow when it comes to doing art, so I'd like to make it as fast as possible without making it look like ass.

SOOO what do you guys think would be faster to create and animate, low-poly 3D models or 16-bit-esque pixelart?

How much animation do you want?
If you can't draw, low poly is ultimately easier because animation is just tweening instead of drawing new frames. The downside is there's more effort required to setup a model so it's ready

>>166880904
I'd prefer at least a decent amount of animation because I want the world to feel alive.
I'm not as concern with the amount of polygons or pixels than I am with animations.

So maybe that means 3D models would be more ideal for me. Sadly, I'm extremely compulsive and pretty bad at 3D modeling, so I'll probably have to practice with that a lot more, if I go down that route.

What's the best way of doing modularity/ composition for game objects in Unity?

Say I want to give my player a gun. I want to make this gun from different component effects. So it can have any number of
>Damage Modifiers
>Damage Types
>Health modifiers
I can just stick a "GunType.ICE" (enum) property on it or something and make it behave slightly differently. It doesn't seem like creating monobehavior scripts for tiny pieces of data like that is the best way to do it.

Any advice?

>>166881116
what if it did

>>166881626
Stop thinking everything has to be a monobehavior attached to a game object. Write shit as regular C# classes and just use the gameobject as a model that's positioned in the world

>>166881534

>>166882791
UE4 right now, but I usually use Unity.

Why isn't anyone here using the Source engine?

>>166882791

>>166881905
>tfw game broke because quantum mechanics

>>166882791
Previous polls showed GM and Unity to be in the lead, by a fair margin. Probably correlated with the fact that when a beginner asks what engine to use, the usual answer is "3D: Unity; 2D: GM". Following that is UE4, then with half of GM's number Godot, Monogame, and enginedev iirc.

Personally using Godot.

>>166881747
Will that get serialized correctly? So what's that look like, then, just make a regular-ass C# class or struct with data and use that? Will it work with GetComponent<>?

>>166883023
but there's no dragon drop in unity
why wouldn't you recommend ue4 to a beginner instead?
it's not like any of them will learn to program

Is Unity 2D as good as GM:S?
I've only messed with Unity 3D a bit and I'm thinking I should get into 2D instead of 3D, but I'm not sure which to choose.

>>166883029
>Will that get serialized correctly?
it's really odd how this is always a question unity devs have about everything

>>166883152
>but there's no dragon drop in unity
Yes there is. It's called the asset store.

>why wouldn't you recommend ue4 to a beginner instead?
Folks usually seem find it easier to learn C# than C++. I prefer not to get mixed up in 3D engine wars, because I have no business with 3D.

>>166882791
Java with libgdx

>>166883203
Unity 2d is absolutely terrible for anything beyond the most basic of 2d games (and even then it's shitty). The only time you would ever want to use it is if you wanted to use 3d backgrounds or something, otherwise it is a massive, timeconsuming headache from start to finish.

>>166883203
If you're going for 2D, pick an engine that is optimised for that. If you're starting out with programming, give GM a go, otherwise check out Godot.

>>166883371
>Folks usually seem find it easier to learn C# than C++
ok, but probably 99% of them will not learn either one
whereas you can make a game without a single line of code™ using blueprints

>>166883029
>Will it work with GetComponent<>?
No, but when you're using an external system you should never need to use this anyway

Because SFML is better if you want batteries included and GLFW is better if you want a window, input, and an OpenGL context.

I'd make the dark parts of the cliff face darker. It's currently got a faded pastel look to it - which is fine on its own - but considering your protag has black in her design, the dark points of the environment should be darker too

Why not just use Unity for 2D as well?

That way by learning Unity, you learn everything.

Nothing wrong with SDL. Small, simple, written in C. And Steam provides a version of SDL on all platforms iirc

>>166884086
GLFW does as well, but it's designed around it and has a considerably simpler API to do so. SDL comes with a bunch of useless stuff and requires you to link to more libraries like SDL_image and SDL_mixer anyways (unless you really want to program a sound engine on top of raw PCM submission and write glue code between another image loading library and SDL). SFML comes with everything but it's intended to be used as is and is comparatively poorly maintained.

>>166883994
Because then you're using Unity

>>166884227

I've been wondering for days if I should draw a tree graphic and use it in game as a flat tree sprite or if I should just model and texture a tree. The latter would be more attractive but possibly feel less PSX like.

$30000 and beyond - This game is stuffed with content at this point. So stuffed that there's no way I could reasonably add more content beyond what we've reached so far! So here's the plan!

Make enemies and bosses that are actually fun to fight against, simple as that. Make them interesting, it never hurts to have a few cannon fodder bastards but tougher enemies should have unique behavior and abilities that the player has to respond to.

>>166890573
I dunno, actiony I guess. I don't really know music genres.

>>166890696

is this true 2d, or 2d in 3d? if the later, and that foreground tree is actually placed closer to the camera, you could use collision objects, one parented on the pc, one on the foreground object and when they overlap hide the foreground object.

>>166891143
you know what, you could do this in 2d too, what was I thinking..

a box collider on whimp and one on the tree, on overlap, hide the tree, on end overlap show the tree

my experiments on turning blender hair particles into geometry for fast polygon hair has resulted in a mesh with 5 million verts and a decimator modifier that's taking 10 minutes to calculate.

I'm gonna try using shaped planes instead of the strands

>be a little more specific?
honestly i am pretty clueless on music but something 8 bit like old arcade shootemup should be fine,nothing too dramatic or noisy

I have a problem with the hitbox of my bats, they don't deal damage if I leave
"if (playerhp == 0)"
but the character dies (game starts over) if I remove it with "instance_destroy"
I set my player to have 5 hp, so if it takes 5 hits it should die, but the bats just past through me without actually damaging the obj_player

>>166887585
>An RPG that allows you to insert yourself into a vast and interesting world full of shit to do

I think you need to ask yourself: Which one of these can I realistically make?

>>166891143
>>166891248
Making it transition smoothly based on Whimps distance from the tree would probably look better than a collider with on/off transparency

>>166891689
you might want
"if (playerhp <= 0)"
If the player's health is somehow going below 0, that would make him invincible

Do they not damage the player, or not kill the player? Is the player's health loss inside that if statement? I shouldn't need to tell you why that won't work

That is a very accurate depiction of the post I was about to type.

So how are 2D assets done in Unity that can have different "materials". Basically I want a stone sword and wooden sword to have the same 2D base model, but they change their color/texture/material based on what material is what made out of. How is this usually done?

If I were to do that I would instead just make the image transparency scale with Whimp's distance to the object and be solid past a certain distance.

The bigger issue to solve is that right now the foreground tree is drawn as a background, so the whole background doesn't have a specific xy value

This disgusting shit is one of the reasons why I'll never give up devving. We need more people that actually want to develop vidya for the sake of making good vidya. God damn it.

Honest question /agdg/, is it wrong to give the player the ability to kill a child? Not a 1000 year old loli or a midget but actual children who did nothing wrong?

Of course I'm not talking morally, I just don't want to get buttfucked by a law or make it impossible to distribute, and I'd rather avoid forcefully aging characters who could give levity to the scenario in times of not-murder

>>166894478
If it were okay more games would allow it.

>>166894478
Many countries, like Germany and Australia (mainly these two) will guarantee ban your game.

>>166894779
Heavy plot relevance, there are going to be like 7 characters in the entire game with two of them being children. The player never has a reason to kill anyone (Save for maybe one person) though would have the ability to. The issue is I had forgot that killing kids is a not good thing long after I wrote most of it.

Long story short: They would have the choice to or not, it would always be there, and would affect the flow of the game appropriately

i mean, if it's handled in an artistically sensible, non-lurid way...go for it. do it and ask questions and permission later. if you're making a story-heavy game where a child can die, it seems a little weird to be worrying about possible controversy.

You do left but you copy normals from some blob like mesh that resembles the overall shape of the tree and you make a shader that blends out the leaf planes as they get closer to the 90 degree angle in comparison to the camera.

>>166894478
I think it pretty clearly isn't wrong in any moral sense. It's victimless. They're imaginary characters. It's not like it has any connection to real life violence, virtually all evidence shows that average people are capable of completely detaching entertainment from reality. The only people who care are those on the far ends of the political spectrum that feel they have to protect the populace from being exposed to something that conflicts with their personal values.

That said, most of the world is run by those very people. It would be legally smart to just keep it out of your game. A lot of countries either do not agree that entertainment is harmless, or just do not want to tolerate depictions of heinous acts, and child-killing is way, way up there in the heinous acts department.

What's the best way to efficiently perform searching, grouping and sorting operations on a collection of objects in Unity?

I'm currently thinking of using a SortedSet composed of GameObjects with some kind of script component containing a bunch of discriminator tags.

Or should I just hardcode the groups and use a collection better sorted to searching?

>>166896591

>>166896653
Just googled that. I'm learning C# as I go because I already know Java so I still haven't got much of a grip on the options available to me.

I haven't written anything yet. Would you recommend I just use predicates on a list of queryable objects?

>>166897105
I mean, what are the conditions and parameters that you need to search and sort objects by? Tell me why exactly you NEED to do this and I can tell you if I can think of a better way to get the same result

What are some cool but completely unexplored areas in the indie scene? I thought about multiplayer stuff but it seems like ror and dst got it covered.

>>166897194
Grouping parameters would be limb type, limb size group, and breed type

Sorting parameters would be limb size and cost.

Searching parameters would be the size, breed, and type.

I have to admit it's pretty poorly thought out - I have absolutely no experience with this sort of stuff.

>>166897635
How often are you running these searches?

It would probably be quite efficient to create these collections at the start of the level. Then you just add a creature to each appropriate collection when you create the creature. If you use references, the collections won't even take that much memory.

For example, you could add a chicken to wingedCreatureList, bipedalCreatureList, and perhaps a hashmap mapping size (key) to set/list of creatures (value).

That way you're creating the collections only once, instead of iterating through every single object at multiple points during the game.

Apparently the order in which UI Text is drawn is directly tied to the Canvas hierarchy.

So right now when I want that not to be the case, I'm going to have to rewrite my script and do some fucking voodoo magic to retain the positions of the two moving objects with the parent reversed.
God help me if I wanted the order to change at runtime. Why the fuck can't I control what order they're drawn in?

Never been to one of these threads, but here's the game I am currently working on.

Opinions?

If you want to try it out here's a demo: https://12b3.itch.io/endcycle

Hello, /agdg/.

First time posting here. Please help me to find the game engine that could fit to my needs. Checked the engines in the OP, but i dont think they would fit.

In my head it mostly works like an adventure-game. Player can move on backgrounds and interact with things.

And also Id like to have the "feature" of "choose your own adventure games" like in inklewriter. Because there will be a lot of dialogues. So there must be a way to make look dialoges not just plain text. Faces with expressions, and so on.

Any ideas where to start?

Thanks in advance.

Have you considered Adventure Game Studio?

Any engine

>>166900738
You're saying too little. 3D?

List games you have in mind when thinking of your project.

You can get familiars now tho

There's a point-and-click framework made especially for Godot you could make use of.

where do you live that you would even ask that? UK? theres literally nothing wrong with doing anything you think of in a game/fiction/art. only a ridiculous place would censor acts that didnt happen in reality to characters that dont exist in reality.

if my emotional sustenance involved being liked by randoms i wouldve given up and become a normie a long long time ago.

Reminds me of Megaman Battle Network pretty cool! :3

>>166900554
what happened to that other MMBN clone dev?

>>166902273

Yeah we were inspired by that series!
It started off as a tribute but has grown into its own thing since then :)

Thanks for the nice comment.

Is it possible to make a rpg game using only a phone? Like an rpg maker for mobile?

>>166900218
i thought the cat was taking a shit

I'm lost /agdg/, I don't know how to get myself to get started on my project, please help or kill me.

A whole bunch of stuff, big and small.

>Yet another message display system, for LEVEL UPs and entering a new floor.

>Particle effect makes it more clear when taking damage
>>Still gotta figure out to alert the player if they have low health

>Switched to off-black darkness, still gotta fix the tilesets

>Better "hidden" effect on secret rooms
>Instant camera snap when entering secret area via teleporter / stairs instead of the camera lerping from the other side of the level

>Ditched player stamina bar, the functionality is still there
>>Might ring it back for melee weapons at some point

>Started revamping level generation system to actually allow for level progression
>>Currently functional so that a new floor can be entered & generated, but player variables (guns, ammo, exp, hp etc) are still reset upon level change

>Generating a level still occasionally crashes the game
>>Never on first run, though (memory leak?)
>>Gotta figure out what's causing it (propaly a do - loop somewhere..)

Can't recommend devving while hungover, though.

>this much progress

i make the audio work on linux like this

while (output_running)
{
int mixbuflen = get_mixer_buffer_length();
char tempFName[66];
unsigned char *samps = malloc((size_t)mixbuflen);
int fd;
char execbuf[200];
_mix_some_samples((uintptr_t)samps, 0, 0);
TempFileName(tempFName);
fd = open(tempFName, O_CREAT, 0644);
write(fd, samps, mixbuflen);
close(fd);
free(samps);
FormatLimited(execbuf, "aplay -c 1 -t raw -r 8000 -f U8 %s", tempFName);
system(execbuf);
}

How does one learn to make interesting bosses?

Daily reminder that only a healthy dev is a good dev.

Do you ever want to finish your game? Yes? Fine.
Then go exercise every few days, drink a lot of water and keep out that junkfood and soda.

>>166903865
that hidden effect is pretty rad.

>Particle effect makes it more clear when taking damage
Make this optional. "bloody screen" is fucking retarded.

Yes, my fellow anonymous posters, yes! This is the truth! This is what you all should follow! Increase the quality of your lives to increase the quality of your dev!

Thanks, I made it myself.

>Make this optional. "bloody screen" is fucking retarded.

So one could say it's... BLOODY retarded? :^)

But yeah, opinion noted. It's just the first iteration of the effect, might not be final.

>>166903964
Thanks :^)

No need for that kind of language here. This is blue board. If you want to sat the n-word so bad then you can do it over at /pol/. Thank you.

Could you please stop using the n-word? It's a bit offensive
