The Japanese under the agdg logo is wrong. It should be ただゲームを作るのが好き, not ただのゲームを作るが好き

ただ (just) isn't a noun or a verb. There is no reason for the particle の to go after it. の belongs after 作る because 作る (to make) is the action you are doing, and to make that the subject you have to treat it like a noun by putting の after it.

Fuck google translate.

Haven't devved in a while, but I really want to get back into it. Every time I come up with an idea, I realize there's something preventing me from making it.
What kind of 2D game can I make with minimal AI programming, and a simple, minimalist art style?

>>167295445
Not sure what you mean via 4x.
Personally I just like the game being open from the go, and hoover for information on buildings/etc. Then having a separate tutorial where you get a feel of the game, but doesn't necessarily take you all the way thought, instead the UI has a button to show you a few graphs on things like resources chains / units / etc.
Basically, include the "wiki" inside the game so players can consult it when needed, and don't have them in an incredibly slow tutorial that covers it all. A campaing is a somehwat decent way of showing individual things too, but you end up having to produce a lot of content which isn't too exciting.

How to make MMO lol?

>>167295932
>Not sure what you mean via 4x.
Several 4X space games have used the same approach to tutorials lately. You start a normal game, tick or untick "Tutorial" and when you click on a menu you haven't clicked before, a pop-up opens to tell you what you see.

>include the "wiki" inside the game so players can consult it when needed
That's actually not a bad idea. Beats having a browser open on monitor 2. Stronghold did this quite well.

How do I make a timescale variable in game maker?

I can't find any good resources on it

I know the basics (make a global variable that starts at 1 and multiply every time-based thing by it) but I don't know how to tailor around that in terms of alarms and loops that wouldn't work without absolutes and I'm sure there are resources out there that explain the thing as a whole

call em out for being retarded but theres no need to pull the faggot tranny part

What's the least boring way for a retard to learn maths from the beginning? Well, not at the very beginning but pretty close to it. For example, I have no idea what functions and I've also forgotten basic stuff like sin/cos/tan. I also struggle with some pre-algebra concepts.

Even though I've finished games despite not knowing that stuff, I feel like my ideas are being limited by this even though Unity helps me avoid a lot of it. I want to get up to a pre-university level, at least.

>>167310235
I was voicing my complaint because I considered offering conversions in my text. Must have lost my mind for a second.
Analog clocks in yuroland are just as retarded, the 12 hour scale is inherently flawed. In the night, we say it's 0:18, but when the sun is shining, it's 12:18. Meaning the clock goes from 0:00-12:59, to then move to 1:00-11:59.
Whoever voted against 0:00-23:59 being a global standard deserves to be shot.

I used to do backend server coding for a company with international clients and we had to send data at specific times every week. The data was always a certain time frame (last day, last month, etc). Of course though every fuck wanted the data to be grabbed in their fucking timezone instead of using the base UTC fucking time and they had to have daylight savings and of course no fucking standard on when that is across the board and with the-

Taking about this is making me angry

Everything Tim said in that video is true in the field. Timezones and daylight savings are not meant for computers. They are some of the worse designed ideas with no standard anywhere.

>>167310634
no i mean its normally 0-23:59 but you can go farther than 23:59 if you want so say something like
>Friday open 23:00 close 27:00

>>167311446
yes, all units regenerate by moving. they have a max HP, and regenerate up to that.

hands have 3hp, and move 2 per turn (therefore regenerate 2 per turn). this sets up a neat system where 2 hands can never kill each other. dps is important, not total damage.

the theory is, when there are more obstacles and units, close combat will prevent you from always moving to the max length.

>>167311581

I dunno mate. Stalemate is more frustrating than a loss imo.

Holy fuck I know what you mean.

We had a system that would take in form applications, but the catch was the user can submit one way after it was created, like days or even weeks. So we had to have two different timestamps in the dB: a creation date and a submission date since our clients had a fucking seizure if we didn't.

Now try to query that data when the time frame is on a different timezone then the one the submission was created.

Even if you want to stick with 2D, you can still escape the boundaries of a Doom mod. I've seen sprite games made in Unity or Godot, not to mention you could build your own raycasting engine anytime.

>>167312805
well when I say 2D I meant some overhead action games and sidescrollers.

I want to make some games inspired by the games that really struck a chord with me throughout my youth, shit like Ys, Tomba, and Startropics. If I made some standalone FPS games, I probably would use an engine like Unity, or godot maybe.

>>167312704
I see. My recommendation is to ditch the collision shape and attach a script to the sword.
In the script you do

func _ready():
add_shape(shape, matrix32) # To find these values, experiment with the collisionshape node
set_shape_as_trigger(0, true)

and you should be fine.

the areas that are black are dipping inside the mesh (intersecting) you need to move them outward a bit and bake again.

Early comfy progress!
The dialog system AND quest system work! Now you can accept, complete or fail a quest.

The sleeve was non-manifold because it was another face coming out of the same edge, so I'm redoing so there's no forearm, just sleeve. I'll just texture the edge black and it should be okay.

>>167318837
A question: What's the easiest way to remove non-manifold areas and loose/extra faces on a model that's supposed to be watertight?

I've noticed Blender often makes extra faces inside my model when I use tools like extrude, scale or bevel. It might be because I've been using right-click to cancel extrusions and shit but the faces get extended anyway?

>>167316629
Cleavage

>>167319015
I know remove doubles should catch some of them, and I think there's also a cleanup script that does something of that regard.

>>167319015
cont: It's just annoying to have to manually move verts to check for extra faces every time and merge them.

>>167317472
looks great mate

>>167319015
if the edge is open you need to weld the vertices in between
select the vertices you want to merge and alt+m to weld them

Now I remember why I gave up on 3D

>>167319015
cancel doesn't cancel the extrude, only the move

this is useful so that you can make a zero extrude and adjust it more carefully with the handles instead of having to fiddly undo the uncontrolled view dependent transform

cancel is cancel, undo is undo

>>167319235

I thought something like this would be the case. I have vague memories of rigging in Max 4 years ago, thanks for clarifying.

No I'm not Canadian, I'm Norwegian. We say "thanks" a lot too.

Draw something hand-drawn in paint, shrink it gradually while drawing over it trying to keep essential details.

I've never tried this before but I imagine it'd be a great exercise.

This is the best feeling, second only to people actually playing your game.

Your game is right here. If someone asks you where it is, point them to this post.

Actually playing the animation in reverse doesn't look too bad.
I just have to remove the las part where she turns around since it doesn't make much sense, the steering wheel is right in front of her so she'd have to do a 360 to face it.

This game would be better if the boat could fly and had missiles and lazers and machine guns and was fighting other enemy spacecraft in space and was a 2d horizonal shoot em up and had collectable score items and was in japanese and featured a track by crush 40

How do I tell how to slice up this as a spritesheet in equal boxes to use in godot? Is there a way to do uneven spritesheets in godot?

>>167323608
No, no. I have quite a few of those too.

>>167320873
probably you'd have to setup in contextually-appropriate locations, or build a location yourself? Like to use a cage trap, first you'd have to find a high place to drop the cage off of, then you need to lure another monster over to use as bait, then you'd need to lure the actual monster you want to capture. Or maybe make some really crazy traps, like you need to have a virgin sacrifice to open an altar to the netherworld and summon demons to grab the monster for you.

Depends on what your game actually is.

What do you people do? List of assets you need, or do you order assets as you go?

If you're going to use TMNT sprites then at least use the best from the snes turtles in time.

Mix of the two

Programmer!
A highly talented individual skilled with the art of the keyboard, a true samuari in his art, unparalleled with the masterful grace of the monkey.

Artist!
A versatile specialist who uses a wide variety of special "Dye" attacks to evoke emotion and thought in those who are fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to bear witness to her power.

THE TWO OF THEM can be united! Just reply to me with what you're doing and you and I could be like yin and yang together!

>>167323552
looks fine by me and a good idea to reuse animations.
