Posted in last thread but then this one got made...

Want to make some simple games this year. Only interested in programming. Friend helping with art/music. Should I just start making simple games with just c++? Like text adventures? Or should I use SDL or SFML from the start? Is it best just to start with something like gamemaker?

Good mornings aggydaggy.

What's your plan for today?

>want to add new features
>having too much fun playing my own game to bother
is this good or bad

>>167232558
Which game is it?

>>167232242
It depends. In an engine like GM you can focus on the game itself, while with a custom made engine (so your own) you have to set up loaders, rendering and many other things.

If you have an artbro, skip text adventures and jump right in to SDL2 or SFML, maybe pick up OpenGL on the way.

How do I make MMO lol?

>>167232558
set aside specific times to playtest the game and try to resist at other times

I already know how to program (Doing it for work), are there any decent Unity resources for me?

I'd appreciate books more than anything.

Maybe I'll actually do some modelling today.

If anything I'm probably going to draw some more at least.

>>167232696
don't know about books, but the manual is pretty comprehensive

>>167232661
Do you have any preference between SDL and SFML? From what I've seen they basically serve the same end purpose but I've found better rated books for SFML

>>167232762
Just work on modelling. You can't stay in the concept phase forever, and plus you don't have to do all of the concepts at once.

>>167232336
Try to make a cute voxel girl and make a comfy game for the comfy jam.

You don't unless you have a spare couple hundred thousand dollars just laying around.

If you want to make multiplayer games, focus on trying to make something simple, like a Bomberman clone first.

>>167232846
You're right.

A goal for today will be to have a finished model I can start rigging, even if it ends up looking like a bad Clank rip-off.

My biggest hurdle is definitely going to be programming the platforming physics just how I want them, full of momentum and fluidity like in Super Mario 64.

>>167233067

Did you know? A 750-post AGDG thread lasts on average 18 hours, 15 minutes and 27 seconds.

>>167233392
hey neat, are you doing some agdg scraping/analytics? I started such a project a long time ago but gave up.

>>167232816
I liked SDL2, but I have to admit that the official wiki is kinda dead. SFML seem to be more up to date, and as I've heard it's easier to use OpenGL with that, but I don't have any actual experience with it. Most engine devs here use SDL2, so you have a better chance getting help with that.

At this very moment I use GLFW. It's "only" a window and input library, but for some reason I find it easier to use than SDL.

>>167233392
at this rate we'll never overtake /ksg/

>>167233464
I downloaded recent threads and wrote a script that iterates over them to learn python. It's not very automatic

>>167233702
Well sounds fun. I was using R so my code probably wouldn't be helpful. It was pretty automated but I got worn out when I started a system of tagging "progress / informative / shitpost" but couldn't figure a way to easily tag and manually grabbing the post numbers was tedious. I wanted to see if I could generate AGDG posts. Punching above my weight in pretty much all regards, since my stats and programming are both pretty weak.

I hope you keep it up!

I regret making clothes that are a separate model. I should have just made them part of the character, I wouldn't have to fuck around with weight painting so much.

Why would I need that much money? I'm working on it myself.

How do I add two arrays together?

Awful.
Meanwhile ask the seconds.

> I wanted to see if I could generate AGDG posts.

>>167234353
Yeah, that was part of the justification. I don't know if I want to take it that far at this point. It would be so much effort, again.

>>167234309
Because it's going to take you 10 years and you need money to support yourself in the meantime, that's why

>>167234251
Stealing this.

>>167234309
Because servers costs money

>>167233293
>Why is a voxel girl and not boy?
You know, when I think about it...
Maybe I should make a voxel boy MC and have a village full of voxel girls.

That is, assuming that I can model shit to begin with.

>>167234471
stitch them together? you have to create a new array of size arr1+arr2 and then copy the elements over

>>167237251
I think rewarding yourself is the key to success.
If you reward yourself with 2 bigmcs after a run instead of just eating 2 bigmcs randomly, you will always go for the run and eventually feel terrible if you eat one without doing your exercise first.
Obviously this approach also works for gamedeving

>>167235679
Put more asserts in your code.

Don't do unit tests or integration tests, tho. That shit is for fags and gays.

Reminder that at its core, gamedev is an interactive display of quantitative information.

Is it okay to try and learn programming and game making using scratch when you're 21? And what do I do after?

honestly I'd like to take up jogging but I would be too ashamed of running in the street. I'm not fat but I have zero stamina so people would see me start and stop running every 5 minutes or less. Also I sweat like a pig.

>>167237775
I never laugh at fat people and encourage them to stay fat because that way i can keep all of the qts for myself

>>167237775
but they arent exercising

they are plus size models that are perfectly fine with how they look

>>167237848
Get a treadmill, attach a board to it as a desk surface. Dev while doing walk/jog routines. Walking while problem solving is the best.

>>167237457
Or you could not be a faggot and just do things without expecting immediate gratification, and actually get great results a lot quicker

>>167237815
Gamedev at its core is penitence for the evil all are born with. Only through the agony of this existence can they reach detachment.

>>167237848
go to a park
run in a circle
rest at the park
when youre done sweating go home

>>167237848

Naw man, don't go jogging if you're overweight, especially if you're REALLY overweight. You'll jsut hurt your knees.

Use an exercise bike instead and change your eating habits. That's the only real way for you to lose weight is a lifestyle change like this. It's not fun or easy but it's necessary if you want to be respected again. Just like gamedev.

>>167238191
nah man run on concrete all day err day

fit dev is probably retarded and not fit

>>167237871
A lot of fat bitches could become qts if they excersized. You are limiting yourself on the amount of qts.

>>167238352
They can lose weight but they can't lose that extra dimension.

So let's say I have a big ds_grid of tiles in GameMaker, each tile must hold a potentially infinite amount of variables that can be changed at will.

Would it be better to use an instance for each tile or ds_maps?

When you live an active life, it is completely understandable to be tired every once in a while.
Human flesh is weak, but that doesn't mean you can let yourself go!
You don't want to disappoint other anons, your family, friends, relatives and SO, do you, anon?

>>167238419
Two ways to go about it:
1. Use instances. You can assign them variables on the fly and they persist, but this has the disadvantage of an instance holding alot of extra variables you may not need after a point.
2. Use a ds_map per tile. This allows you to manage memory more efficiently, but since checking them involves iterative string comparisons they can be slow as fuck if they have a ton of key/value pairs.

In general though, if you design something with "potentially infinite" anything you need to rethink it.

Do you mean concatenation or adding component-wise?

I've parented my leg pull bones in Blender to the hips, but this twists the knees when the hips rotate. I've seen people with a double constraint thing to the models origin, how do I do that?

>>167240007
Have you considered that maybe deep inside they are just like real women? They fake kindness and generosity to lure you into normie life and make you a wage slave. Do you see any father figures in your usual slice of life animes and mangas? Well, there's a reason for that. Once you hook up you'll never meet again.

Not to mention they must hate each other deep inside.

But even if they are not like that, why would they love you? What redeeming quality or feature do you posses which might make them be interested in you?

>>167240324

Some basic collectathon movement staples: climbing poles and swimming.

Poles follow SM64 rules; climb up with forward, slide down with back (and you rotate around while you do), left and right rotate you CCW/CW around the pole, jump the direction your back is facing.

Swimming follows Banjo Kazooie/Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon rules; when you swim, you automatically remain at the surface, until you push the dive button to submerge and gain full 3D movement. In the interests of not making the game awful to control, actual submerged movement will follow Descent rules; you move laterally on a plane determined by your camera orientation (no steer-with-stick and mash jump to move type shit).

And it's nowhere near finished and doesn't include clothing or any props the character is going to have.

You have to do the same for every character.

And the environment + props.

And you have to make the actual game.

SCOPE

>>167247506
You can probably recycle most of the body for every female character in the game, though. Just switch up the face and hair mesh a bit, maybe scale some proportions.

do the smoothing groups you apply to a model have any effect on the texturing process? i remember reading about how flat shaded faces can render pixels differently or something

Clothes and scaling should be enough.

>>167247686
I would like to know too

I can go read up on the individual bits but how does all of this come together:
-body meshes with sliders for character creation
-separated into parts so you can hide them when putting on armor
-making the armor work with the body scaling

Small progress.
Reworked a lot of code and cleaned a lot of spaghetti.
Decided that I actually want a different set of sprites for girls, so I started working on them.
Started testing a smal animation for the light at the face, not fully happy with it, so'll try different approachs for it. Also started experimenting with what kind of sounds I want for the game.

You can create your own platforms by using a magic wand given to you by the last true wizard of the land, the rest having died out when the Magic Wellspring was taken over by the dracolich Scorthax. As you progress, your wand becomes more and more powerful, allowing you to make bigger platforms/more platforms. With your mighty wand, you embark on a dangerous quest to defeat Scorthax and his minions, free the Wellspring, and return magic to the world!

There is a countdown. Every time you jump, the counter decreases. Whenever it hits 0 whatever is in the 'block change' box is what every block in the world changes to.

Variations include things like 'bouncy', 'spikey', and 'black hole'. Otherwise, it's normal 'get to the goal' platforming.

Or, more shortly: Tetris, but you're playing a platformer.

For you guys who use Unity, I noticed it has quite a lot of texturing functionality. I'm also working with Blender and wondering if I should use Blender to apply regular diffuse maps only, and everything else in Unity. Or is it better to finalize my character textures completely in Blender before importing the model to Unity?

make sure image_speed is set to something above 0. And make sure you don't have image_index=0 being called constantly in another part of the script.

use hastebin my dude

Does it make any difference if I upload a game to itchio and then submit it for a jam, vs uploading a game for a jam directly?

The bullet impact lacks sparks otherwise it looks really good.

I'd like to see some sparks though, just like 3 or 4 very short-lived, single pixel sparks fly off with each bullet impact.

>>167259815
That's not scala...

>>167259582
It's less about the engine he's using and more about his skill as an artist.

>>167259869
Hastebin tries to automatically assign a language. It's not very good.

>>167259972
Clearly. It assigned scala to something that isn't remotely like scala.

>>167259818
No. It's the same thing.

Debatable, Unity's particle tools are trash compared to UE4.

ne

unity is a good way to start tho

Progress:
>alien jungle area tiles almost done
>added stairs and improved the old tiles a bit
>new doors
>not sure if I should keep this walking animation for mecha or not
>need to redo mecha anyways because it looks shitty compared to tiles
>thinking of adding alien races
>graphics are hard yo with shitty NES palette

I remember seeing someone here who was making something that looked like a Parasite Eve style game, what happened to that?

Lookin really good.

Is Unreal more beneficial to use if you're more of an artist than a coder?

>>167260156
Yeah, it looked relatively easy to learn but hard to master. Also someone mentioned it's a lot more compatible with Blender than Unreal is.

I might just end up with a product I can actually sell for a modest amount some day, so it's important for me to stick to royalty free stuff from the start.

Getting solid Metroid 2 vibes from this. No, it's not just because I'm listening to the AM2R soundtrack.

I should drop my game and never think about it again.

>>167260218
Add a small screen shake whenever you drop down from a ledge or jump in the mech suit.

>>167260442
Is this an actual response? I haven't stopped by /agdg/ in a quite a while so I don't know whatever the current happenings are

I've been trying as hard as I can to avoid using screenshake. It could work in that situation though.

>>167260685
screenshake is even better with mechs
you gotta have it

Since it's a mech, adding a small vertical screen shake and a slight delay before you can start moving again after a drop will make the suit feel more weighty, also won't disorient the player because the delay and screen shake occurs simultaneously. Think of the freeze-frame that happens when Link's sword hits enemies in recent Zelda games. Same effect.

Besides that though, can something like this be done in Unity? A physics based, or at least partially physics based animation system?

>>167260395
Well on the one hand, Unity has such a ridiculous number of tutorials, assets and question forums that artists can almost certainly find a solution to any of their coding problems.
UE4 isn't as good in that regard, you might have to be a bit more independent, but in my opinion that's the one thing Unity has over it.

UE4 has blueprints, which as much as AGDG likes to meme are really just programming, and artists who can't program aren't automatically just going to make video games with them.
All of UE4's superior tools for every aspect mean it'll look better, be easier to make look better and be more enjoyable in the process.

Not the dev, but screenshake is a relatively new thing in games, there are zero NES games with it.
I think adding screenshake would break the consistency he's been struggling to keep.

>>167261274
This is still going on?
Not that I'm complaining.
How much funding do you have right now?
