Well, after the last demo day, I tried to buckle down and get the combat to feel good. In the end, there is a reason the only game featureing head jumping combat doesn't focus on combat. And, without that my game is just a much worse version of binding of isaac. Its back to the drawing board to make some major changes towards origonality.

Hey guys, just made some progress, first ever.
let me know which camera follow you guys prefer, instant or with movement.

Also, does anyone have any tips for procedurally generating 2d houses? I will certainly have to create my own algorithm but any pointer or suggestions??

>>166968006
Also, texture splat shader progress.

>>166967683

so far it's workable but i'm aiming for actually good

>>166968052
camera type really depends on what kind of game you're making.

as for procgen, you could start with the unity tutorials on that subject

Does anyone know how one would get a rippling flag animation into Unity without bones? I tried using bones to make the animation but it was a literal nightmare.

How is posting your game in Steam Greenlight work if it has multiplayer? Will you need to integrate Steamworks API with this? Don't you need a Steam App ID for Steam to support muiltiplayer? I'm kinda at a loss.

>>166968686
you don't need to use steamworks for a steam game

the only big thing that I recall is that DLC has to be on the steam store and not some third party store or inside the game

>>166968716
Reminds me of a UT99 gun, just the general shape. Looks good.

>>166968686
It is possible to have multiplayer while on Greenlight. How that process works exactly, I don't know. If you've got 3 months, you could ask Steam Support.

>>166968852
Thanks, man!

I think I (at least) should have some contrasting details in a different colour, though.

Your eyesight can be trained. While baseball certainly favours players with good eyesight, it doesn't mean you have to go in with 20/11 vision - your vision will improve as you go. Same way that your vision deteriorates if all you do is stare at a screen a few inches away, and how corrective lenses can actually make your vision worse as your eyes adapt to them.

>>166968716
Not to piss on your parade, but is this weapon intended for human use?

>>166968686
just use your own server for multiplayer, matchmaking, leaderboards etc

It can, specifically the parts that happen in the brain (focusing, following, gauging distance, etc.).

In any case, making games is not an activity requiring a great degree of physicality like a sport.

Try imagining holding that gun in your hand. Do you think a forward angled grip would lend itself to accurate shooting? Could you hold this gun on eye-level and straight for a long period of time?

but it requires talent, in art, in code, in sound design, in game design, level design etc.

the dropout rate for programming classes is something silly like 80%, a good chunk of the population simply cannot do it, or can only do it very poorly

>>166968667

>>166969567

what?

>>166969619
skill is a combination of talent and practice, if you don't have the talent, no amount of practice will help you, and even if you have some talent, practice that isn't targeted to your weaknesses will be ineffective

>>166968667

>>166969567
Because only the other 20% does any programming on their own before university. In other subjects people have plenty of opportunities to develop interest in a structured way before uni, programming, typically not so much.

If someone is better than you, they have been practising for longer and/or more efficiently than you. Nobody is born with some instinctual ability to do things. They may have been born or raised with an aptitude, but that simply means they find practising efficiently easier since they can focus more.

Alright, I want to start a little project but I got to know something first. How do I define a "path" where the player and other NPCs like monsters, can walk without crossing the borders of that path? Imagine pic related as two terrain meshes, one with a slope and the other is just plain. The green area is where the player can move freely and the red area is the no go zone, the player should not be able to walk there.

What's the best way to define said path? I was looking into navigation mesh but most articles just cover the AI pathfinder topic. Is navmesh the correct way to implement this feature or are there better alternatives?

>>166969443
Ha ha, thanks. Textures is the only thing I feel I can do reasonably well, at it can save some shitty modeling.
For low-res shit like this it doesn't have to make a lot of sense, though - So you can literally just make some interesting shapes and then stretch the UVs over them until it seems to fit (pic related).

>>166969484
Eh, it's not meant to be realistic, Anon.
The angle just makes the shape a bit more interesting.
Do you really think it's that's jarring?

>>166969509
Thanks! I have yet to try MOON, but I downloaded a ROM a few days ago!

>>166969681
what are you confused about?

>>166970008
>Do you really think it's that's jarring?
It will be noticable as soon as you put it in your human model's hand. If you don't clip the entire grip, that is.

Well, fuck me, time for sleep

>>166970008
>Do you really think it's that's jarring?
Yes. It flat out won't work if you plan on having a human hand hold it.

>>166969986
most games just do it with invisible walls

>>166970137
The hand grip won't be very articulated (the guys don't have fingers, for one thing), and the animations will probably be generic and similar for all guns.

>>166970193
Hm.

Well, I'll test it tomorrow, to see if it's as bad as you say.

Thanks for the feedback.

>>166969484
>>166970137
>>166970193
What if they turn their hands upside down to hold the gun and pull the trigger with their pinky?

>>166967683
Gave up before even starting because I decided I don't like the theme

>>166969986
Navmesh gives you 100% control over where mobs can go, but jumping may be a pain to implement.
Working with invisible walls always bears the risk of missing a spot. Players will find that spot.

>>166970406
>Players will find that spot.

That sounds like a kludge way to do it, to be honest

Why is it kludge? It does exactly what you want without issues. I don't even know how you'd use a navmesh to accomplish keeping the player on the path.

When you use mathf clamp with just normal vector3 values on something that's rotating around an object, it starts doing really weird stuff with the objects rotation.

Interedasting

I'll look into it more, see if I can learn anything from it.

what name do you use in code to refer to the character the user controls?

I don't like "Player" since I have classes that refer to the user themself too, and player/user are synonymous

how bad is it if like 5 to 10 parts of my code only work if they're in the right order? like this function call has to come before/after this check that will make it be run a different way, this stuff needs to be arranged before this block is run even though the block modifies it, some things like that

Okay, well even then it only matters if you need to take a complete snapshot of the game when saving.

>>166975295
If you haven't tried making a fully serializable game I really recommend it
It makes debugging/testing super easy when you can just make a quicksave at the exact thing you want to test

Do these snapshots really need to be perfectly lossless in practice?

And why the fuck do all these languages with built-in coroutines also lack the ability to store their state?

>>166975442
>>166975584
Also why does this:
>unpatchable bytecode that you can't update in your save format
matter if the snapshots are only for testing?

how do you guys feel about an RPG where your party members are not part of combat, but story and other in game interactions.

>>166974940
You keep your rotation as a float and clamp it the normal way. Use Quaternion.angleAxis to convert it to a world rotation

>>166975753
They're not really party members, then.

>>166974534
Nor does it have ownership of fusion.

>>166975701
It matters especially when you're testing, because that's exactly when you're going to be updating your code. Also, if you keep your save format stable through code changes, you can build a backlog of test cases for automated testing: just take the quicksave + a buffer of inputs + some final state asserts and you've got a robust integration testing suite.

As to lossless-ness, the problem with testing with a lossy format is that all of a sudden, you're testing something that doesn't actually represent a "normal" gamestate. This can lead to all sorts of annoying heisenbugs where something only works in debug mode, or even worse, save corruption

I don't know why people pass on that shit. In a post-Hotline Miami world you kind of need a distinctive soundtrack. The generic royalty-free music out there is mostly soulless and used by hundreds of shit indie movies and games.

>>166981568
People pass on that because the majority of indies (in any sphere, not just here) never get their game far enough to need music.

Worked on the AI a bit and refactored some of the code for the game controls.

>>166986159

>I guess?

Well you should figure it out. People use different weapons in different periods because war is different, equipment is different, their enemies are different, their available tactics are different.

>I don't have a strong conceptual/design heading for where this is all going
Well you have a unique mechanic (not "literally never been done before" but that doesn't matter), so figure out some interesting things you can do with said mechanic and you have a game.

For example:
Level design - vents in the ceiling and stuff you can climb into; jumping puzzles; mechanical elements that you can grab onto that can send you flying; etc.

Enemy design - enemies only attack you if they see you (stealth); enemies that have weak points if you attack them from above, or on their backs if you can drop in behind them; some melee enemies that can climb after you

Weapon design- Melee weapon that you can jump/drop on enemies with; grappling hook (imo all games should have grappling hooks anyways but it would work well here);

Oh crap I forgot to click send on this hours ago. Not sure if I was going to write anything else.

Comfy progress!

I'm redoing the layout for the map, though it's still pretty bad and random.
I've added a compass-kind of thing that also shows the direction of the wind.
I changed the look of the foam particles.
I implemented the "happy" and "disappointed" animation after you recall the claw.
I forgot to make the minigame end if you lose, gotta fix that asap
I also set up the UI for the map (to show where the treasure is) and the "treasure report" panel.
Lastly, I laid out the code structure (on paper) for the NPCs and the quest system, now I just hace to code it.

I think it's more of aptitude.. on thinking abstract concepts in your mind before you can figure out what to type for your code. Imagining how the data flows, how should they be represented, etc.

I think there's a baseline requirement with your brain's ability to be able to do such a thing, but that said, a lot of people fool themselves into thinking they're incapable, or thinking they've already hit a physical limit of it for themselves. So part of the initial practicing, is removing that misconception.

And wouldn't it make more sense to look at WW, the game Oceanhorn (and my game too, kinda) is ripping off for inspiration?
Anyway, as of now the only thing you do in the game is sail around and retrieve treasures so I guess it's kinda boring.

I can plug my phone into my computer, and click a button and the game will compile and pull up on my phone for me to test it.

I don't give a fuck? People don't magically die when a bullet hits them. Besides, a "hit" in the combat system might not even represent a bullet impact, it could represent an attack that successfully stresses or fazes them enough to not be able to resist the shock of an actual hit

Except that's wrong because when you miss you have a separate message saying "miss" instead of the damage.

Status: A lot of sprite stuff done. A tiny bit of coding done. I need to sit down and just program all day.

Real Life shit keeps getting in the way.

HP isn't always meatpoints. Sometimes it's just a representation of a character's ability to continue fighting.

It's on my list.
>Nodev looking for game
>Tom Hanks looking for Wilson
>Reggae dude looking for his drums
>Basketball player looking for ball
I also have some other ideas for characters but not for the things they'll ask you to look for. No idea how many of these I'll actually have time to implement in the game, but I'l try.
I'm still open to suggestions though.

>>166967683
redid some particle effects and added some sound effects, hopefully I'll be able to finish my game on time

>>166991271
are these fetch quests fun or just filler content for the overworld?

>It is quite unreasonable to assume that as a character gains levels of ability in his or her class that a corresponding gain in actual ability to sustain physical damage takes place. It is preposterous to state such an assumption, for if we are to assume that a man is killed by sword thrust which does 4 hit points of damage, we must similarly assume that a hero could, on the average, withstand five such thrusts before being slain! Why then the increase in hit points? Because these reflect both the actual physical ability of the character to withstand damage - as indicated by constitution bonuses- and a commensurate increase in such areas as skill in combat and similar life-or-death situations, the "sixth sense" which warns the individual of some otherwise unforeseen events, sheer luck, and the fantastic provisions of magical protections and/or divine protection. Therefore, constitution affects both actual ability to withstand physical punishment hit points (physique) and the immeasurable areas which involve the sixth sense and luck (fitness).

What if you added a thing where if you keep bumping the wall when youre not in combat the pilot will call you a silly goose?

That's AD&D though. It's far from day one

Honestly, I don't know. I mean, the whole game (remember that it's for Comfy Jam so it can't be really big) revolves around
>find NPC
>they tell you to look for thing
>look for it with the map
>find the spot
>use the claw to retrieve thing
>bring it back to them
>rinse and repeat
I realized while I was coding the retrieve mechanic that it's not really fun or engaging, but I hope that the atmosphere and music (if I ever get some) will help with the comfiness.

Nope, but I love his style. never played the game though

that platform's movement is too jarring, it needs to ease or pause for a while before moving in the other direction

>>166991565
I've always assumed hitpoints were like divine intervention protection or something.

HP measuring how much luck you've got to convert a serious blow into a lesser one. But even a diety might have it's hands tied in the ability to influence the mortal realm from either a power limitation, rules between many dieties, or it just getting sick of having to save your life over and over again.

is there money in making a blacked game?

>>166991640

Make a game about trump/supporters getting BLACKED

>>166991598
that platform needs to move at least 2^5 times faster for my tastes

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but is it possible to extract art assets from a video game? Textures and the like, this particular game Watch Dogs 2 has .dat data files so they're probably in there somewhere. Do these games use encryption or are tools available to unpack them. I've heard of people ripping soundtracks for games or in GTA V scouring for clues in the code.

>>166991146
That's meatpoints. The physical condition of a characters body. DnD has them as the total injury + exhaustion + stress that the character is under.

>>166991998
Yes, you can get all that stuff with enough digging or know-how. The method of doing so is prone to changing on game-by-game basis, or whatever engine they are using.

Try googling around if the games you're interested in have tools made for them.
