Thoughts on pygame?

I want to make a game for a my final project in my CS course. The engines we're allowed to use must allow scripting in python, java or javascript. Unity is specifically not allowed for an unknown reason. Technically I could use c++ too but I've only used it for writing basic procedural programs when I was starting out.

(Small) Comfy progress!
I implemented the ma UI in the game. If you open it while the sails are not folded, they will automatically fold so you don't crash into stuff while checking the map.
For now the only thing that gets updated is the player position, but of course when I finish working on the quest system, the position of the treasure and the quest giver will show up properly as well.

Also, I feel my landscape is kind of bland and monotone so what are somethings I can add to spice it up?

Oh and, I renew my request, is there any musicbro who wants to make me some pirate-y comfy tunes? Something celtic-sounding would be great too.

What you need are haptic shoes that make your feet feel colder when you're in cold environments. They should be showing up on Kickstarter soon.

Really makes you think.

If you make a game in libGDX, can you port it to android and ios?

Anybody has any experience with this?

>>167015467
Sounds good. I was also thinking of having some seagulls flying around and disappearing in the distance.
I'll try making some more complex and big island, but it's such a pain to populate them with trees and stuff. I should try doing that in Blender instead of Unity.

>>167015610
Yeah I disabled it for the webm, but I have some "fog" which basically covers the far away lands showing them as silhouettes.

>>167015660
>Sourceposter was banned from the discord for starting random arguments with people, and his victim complex.
Sounds about right.

>>167015229
who is this cutie?

>>167015927
Yes.

>>167015927
Yeah it has desktop, ios, android, and HTML5 exports, iirc. You may need a mac to build for ios, I'm not sure.

>>167014937
Add birds around land, maybe sea life splashing or murky/shadowy creatures pass by your boat from side to side (Especially comfy if it turns out theyre a friendly creature like a dolphin)
add some rock to the ship and some sea-spray.
add some shadows cast from those rocky structures, maybe some vine or moss plant growth hanging down from them. add birds

Most importantly, add a cooler on the boat somewhere that the player character might open up and take out a drink if you idle too long, then prop his feet up and relax.

so i have this character here with multiple weapons and stuff and they stick to him just fine if i use a "child of" constraint. but the issue is when i want him to grab the sword and unsheathe it and swing it around.

maybe child of isnt the best method

i cant find a good tutorial for this or anything

>>167016562
I have no meaningful input but I love games where you can have multiple weapons of your own choosing hanging off your character model.

>>167016562
you should probably have a bone to represent a weapon, then just animate the unsheathing, and switch the attach point from the sheath to the bone at an animation event when he grabs it, maybe even lerp the position of the weapon so there's no jump

>>167016527
Well he appears to have finished another 8 hour shift and is probably sleeping now. Should be a peaceful thread until he wakes up.

>>167016737
or maybe have a bone for each attach slot, that'd maybe look smoother still

>>167016562
That sort of thing is usually handled in your engine rather than the animation itself

>>167016562
What's the problem? In the animation where he picks up the weapon you decrease the weight of the Child Of constraint. I can't remember the exact name, but there's a slider there to tell you how much the object will stick to its parent.

>>167016562
you should make a stick bone. not a weapon, then animate the stick around

In game, all you do is atach the weapon model to the invisible bone. this way you can have multiple itens but the bone is the same.

The demo day room looks a little better than before, but I don't really know where to begin for backgrounds. Maybe some darker colored squares or something in semi-random places.
Also redesigned the main UI again because I tried to draw a face and I couldn't get it looking right. Probably should make those other character frames now, to prevent the character from floating in the air, and do some edits to the existing ones.

This has probably been asked countless times, but

Should I start 2d or 3d?

Whats a good tutorial to start learning programming on?

im just a dumb lurker with a dream to make games

>>167022757
I do agree, but leaving the circle that did nothing but take up space was feeling a bit odd. That, and the quickslots being on the bottom left seemed weird too. I was never too sure on where to put those.

>>167023429
3d is going to sort of require a significantly greater investment in art creation than 2d, if you want to go that route.

As for how to learn programming, I don't remember how I learned really. Maybe pick a simple engine and start there?

People give gamemaker shit but it's not a bad place to learn basic scripting. and make a 2d game.

Personally I like unreal engine for 3d. I find it a lot easier to familiarise myself with it than unity for instance.

>>167022675
dat subpixel movement

I'm still fiddling with my UE4 third person camera setup, I need it in various positions, not always coming from the neutral one. I'm thinking of creating functions for the movement itself and conditionally call the appropriate ones inside the character blueprint, is this a good way of doing it? I don't know coding or game design so I keep second guessing.

Do you guys use any rules of thumb for poly-count when modelling characters and objects?

I'm using a lot of inset and bevel and I'm worried I might be creating unnecessary work for myself later on.

>>167022375
It is similar but not a simple carbon copy. Like AC it's a fast paced TPS with mechs, rpg elements and loads of boosting but unlike AC only very few weapons will have lock-on, heavy emphasis on ground combat and it's kinda required of the player that he balances his machine around his own needs instead of just using cookie cutter builds.

Feel free to borrow some of my ideas. I'm inspired by Jak 3 a lot when it comes to exotic weapons.

Radiation Gun (mechanically like a flamethrower, Alpha, Beta, Gamma wave differences/ammo types?)

Dark Matter Gun (Shots explosive blobs that also negate gravity for a few seconds)

Antimatter Gun (fires white, slow-moving pellet that violently erupts when it comes into contact with something, also creates a vacuum effect on explosion)

Chemical Thrower (acid spitting gun, maybe selectively corrosive against metal/organics only)

a tri is a poly, do you mean quads? at low poly tris can be very useful, at higher poly quads are easier to work with and subdivide nicer

you can stick to quad only if you want but I find you often have to add extra loops to keep everything quads, so that increases the polycount

>Whats a good tutorial to start learning programming on?
Learn an engine. Don't think broad scope, you're here to make games so just focus on what you need to know, which is what commands do what for the engine. Brushing up on basic universal terminology is not a bad idea but past that you'll just bog yourself down with unnecessary information that will overwhelm and dishearten you.

Pick an engine based on what you want to accomplish. As far as 2D vs. 3D goes, Unity and Unreal are the top two choices for 3D games, while Unity and Game Maker: Studio tend to be the most used engine for 2D games, though Godot is slowly picking up steam in this area. If you have a specific genre of game you want to pursue then look up "(genre) engine" and you're bound to find something. Stay away from Source, and don't even dream about making your own game engine until you're at a point where you think you can handle that side of coding (which for you, as a starter nodev, will be next to never).

>>167027453
No. Being a furry is a mental illness that denies use of any logic-based machines.

there is only one way to become a real programmer fast

open a win32 window, or whatever your system API is, and put something in it. it'll teach you everything you need to know to program effectively, documentation is solid and you'll get a good idea of how things work under the hood

>>167027782
>legs are not attached to the hip

>>167027831
The way to become a good programmer is to begin with a high-level language that will not let you get away with being sloppy. Something like Idris would fit the bill.

Rust doesn't allow you to be sloppy and yet it is also not particularly high-level. Idris is definitely going to be difficult for a new programmer unless they have experience with set/type theory, abstract algebra, etc.

>>167028170
All of these positives apply equally as well to Rust, without many of the negatives.

>>167023429
Download an engine and follow their tutorials. If the code syntax is confusing you, go through Codecademy until you've figured out what a function is.

This sounds retarded and it's not the "best" way to learn, but it's less boring than the alternatives. Unless you really enjoy technical work, I would skip all the low level stuff until you've learned Unity/GM/some other common engine.

Last update of the day.

Brekeable glass, Explosions, EXCITEMENT;

>>167028569
Actually, someone starting out programming with Rust won't have a conception of how programming works in many other languages that they will have to give up, and so they will never have to fight the language.

>>167028602
Yeah, I'm still mad about that.

>>167028569
also one of the big positives of learning C first is that nearly everything other than special snowflake languages like haskell uses its syntax straight up, so your skills will transfer much more easily to any given language you want to learn after

JS is a hot slut. You just have to be cool enough to handle her.

>>167032201
No, you just jumped into the lake without realizing how cold and uninviting it is

>>167032172
so much anger, so little substance.
i think your main objection to js is most likely that it is both productive and easy -- the antithesis of all of 4chan, let alone this general

>>167032129
What I am looking at?

>>167032209
Sorry, I have too many neurons to be able to be satisfied with what started out as Scheme with extra chromosomes and only went downhill from there.

>>167032139
so I should use C# to avoid curly braces?

Javascript is bad because it's relatively slow for basic operations, has little in the way of direct memory management, its prototypical implementations are hot garbage and on top of all that it's not strongly typed. It's for shitters that only know js and arent competent enough to switch between languages easily depending on their projects needs.

>>167032249
My main objection is that when trading off between performance and ease of use, JS like many dynamic languages chooses neither. It's shit.

>Sorry I'm too smart to fuck this hot slut properly
