---PROGRESS---

Posting in this general every saturday is becoming my only highlight in life.
Anyway, changes since last week.

-Added sprites for the player and enemy_1
-Made everything react and change to slowmotion, including animation speed, cooldowns and bulletspeeds and various effects
-Various effects for game feel, i dont like the screen effects 100% but i needed something and it's ok for now.
-Added sound effects for most things that get pitched down and up which im quite proud of, sounds cool. Shame u cant show it in the webm.

Next step is actually a level and some level art to see if it can be a game on its own. (I forgot to include the webm in the last thread)

-> P R O G R E S S (?) <-

I've gone back and forth with the ammo and armor systems.

>AMMO
Adding ammo limits (instead of the infinite ammo but limited mag size as before) effectively forces the player to collect & conserve ammo, but I still need to add a way to fight even with 0 ammo.

I'm thinking of either melee attacks or adding a sidearm that requires no ammo (like Quake 2's blaster pistol).

4 different types of ammo: bullets, shells, power cells and grenades. The player can have 2 weapons at a time.

Gotta implement different max amounts for different types of ammo, currenly all are maxed at 100.

>ARMOR
The current system has 7 different armor types, each ramping up in power. The current armor determines how many % of damage is absorbed and how much armor points the player can have (seen in the bottom left corner ATM)

>ITEM SPAWNING
Made the item spawning somewhat logical instead of completely random. Now guns & armor SHOULD spawn in mostly remote locations to encourage exploring.

Also, 2 kinds of ammo pickups: small (5-10 ammo) and big ammo boxes (25-50 ammo).

But yes, there are definitely tricks (especially when it comes to animation) that can make your shit art seem pretty decent.

Maybe go with a Doom approach, killing enemies when you have low ammo/hp drops just that. Maybe implement a melee for the times u do come down to 0 ammo.

>>167410495
Yeah, I have something like that already implemented (Hp drops are prioritized when runnin glow on hp). But I guess I'll add melee anyway, it'll spice up the combat.

>>167410343
I like it. I also would recommend a higher weapon carry limit. It adds to the depth of the game if you place enemmies right.

I'm facing the same issue currently, and some of the things I've tried to come up with might help you out, i might use one or more of these but most of them don't fit my game and might fit yours instead

>Melee weapon only usable when you're out of all types of ammo that gives the drop tables a higher chance to drop ammo
>A different approach to the first one: Being able to quick-melee with your guns at no ammo cost and reduced damage but with a higher chance of ammo drops from the get-go
>Ammo pack drop chance inversely proportional to the amount of ammo you have
>Ammo packs spawning when you're low on ammo (think like half life 2 and medkits)
>Rely on a secondary attack method (my game has spells and regenerating mana, you could add secondary items instead) until you get ammo
>Shopkeepers that sell you ammo but give you a "pity discount" and give it out for free if you have no ammo or very little ammo
>Being able to sacrifice health or energy for ammo

Another approach that I don't like but you could use that i've seen in other games (like relic hunters zero) would be having disposable guns that come with their own ammo that you can gather from enemies that while you can reload with your own they still have some ammo left in them

I'd love to make art for your game!

lambda arent nearly as clean

i could do either
connect_btn->BindAction([&](string address) { network->Connect(address); });

connect_btn->BindAction(std::bind(&Network::Connect, network, std::placeholders::_1);

both of which requires additional explicit knowledge of the function signature, and id rather avoid having to repeat that more than necessary in case i add more arguments to it, so i wanted a way to automatically insert the std::placeholers and that right there is the result. it simplifies the code to

connect_btn->BindAction(Bind(&Network::Connect, network);

>>167416432
i know, but as i said, i wanted to remove the explicit arguments that id have to either declare in the lambda or as placeholders. like say you have a function with a handful of parameters, youd have to specify all of them in the lambda needlessly. the source and sink has the same function prototype, so having to specify it in a 3rd place adds more chances of bugs, like implicit conversions if you change an argument but forget to change it in the lambda. this just works regardless of the number and types of parameters

What's the downside to building the majority of your game in blueprints? Like I know how to code and have dabbled a bit in using c++ in UE4, but then I switch to blueprints to learn something and it's just so fucking easy. I have a lot to do in my game and I feel like I can do it all faster just using blueprints (with tiny buts of c++ here and there) so what would be the downside?

Comfy progress (?)
I changed the sea texture because I didn't really like the old one. This one might be a tad too 'realistic' but it looks pretty.
I also imported the wave script I made for an older game to make the sea look a bit more alive. At the same time, I tried making the boat wobble a bit, though it doesn't actually react to the waves so it might look weird.
Finally, I implemented treasure and quest giver positions to the map UI. With this, the gameplay should be all in, now I just need to add content (objects to retrieve and dialog for the various NPC), apart from a main menu, etc.

Oh and I have 3 (THREE) different anon making me music! I'll definitely use all the songs I'll get, either shuffling between them or using them for different scenes.

Is it acceptable to completely rely on Unity's physics or do most """real games""" make their own and ignore it completely?

>>167423484
Nothing really, if it works for you that's great. The main disadvantage of blueprints is the control they give you, meaning that with code you have deeper access inside the engine and can do stuff that either cannot be done, or requires jumping through a lot of loops to do with blueprints. (For example changing gravity globally for all objects in a given direction, tried it some years ago and from what I remember it only worked with C++ code)

But if you use code to fill up for what blueprints can't do then you've reached the ideal state of working with UE4 that even the devs who made it recommend.

(Another disadvantage would be readability of code, but again that's a personal thing, if you don't mind it then it's all cool.)

>>167424330
"""real games""" don't use Unity so I don't know what to tell you

>>167424330
If you need the simulation to be highly deterministic then you shouldn't use Unity's built in physics (which are Nvidia PhysX).

Stillbirth? It wasn't a commercially sold title, and it was more complete than what you see posted on AGDG nowadays. I don't see what you're getting at, you are claiming the game would've went better if he didn't use blueprints? How many UE4 games made with C++ did you see released here? How many 3D games in general? You can count them on fingers, seems to me like you just have the opinion of a biased fanboy who only sees what he deems convenient to his beliefs, but I digress.

Blueprint lacks a few lower-level features, but it's fine to basically do everything in blueprint as long as you organise your code properly.

4.15 is going to support full bp->c++ cooking as well to eliminate any overhead that the VM would otherwise sustain.

It's fine to do it in BP. Literally fine. One advantage of c++ and the biggest one really is just human-readable diffs in your version control system.

>It wasn't a commercially sold title

like there aren't programmers who produce code as unreadable as that.

Is this what you're actually doing? Quit your job to work solely on your game? And you still don't have one?

I've had 3-4 games over the course of the past 3 years, which I've abandoned because I get bored of them quickly, but in this time I've also finished college and got a normal programming job. I've learned a lot of things, and although I'm not proud of abandoning my projects I don't consider the time I spent working on them wasted, because every new project looked better than the previous one.

It was me, anonymous hacker! Please send me my robes.

In UE4, my character's animation is being played too slow the first time it'll be triggered, but after that it'll be fine, what could be the cause for that ?
It's an animation blueprint that reads a bool from the player character and then does a blend poses by bool to adjust the character to the correct pose.

>>167424330

Physics/collision engines already existing are one of the points of using an engine of unity. Go for it.

Keep using blueprints and ignore salty enginedevs that became obsolete (not like they ever mattered anyway). I've coded in C++ with Unreal for over a year (because muh performance and muh readability) but as time went on I started noticing how much time I spent on exposing stuff to Editor and building "blocks" that were still turned into blueprints to customize this or that. After finally trying blueprints out I almost cried from realization how much time has been wasted.

Bottom is Vengeful Spirit from Dota 2 though.

>>167432075
Oh. I found it in the agdg fanart folder so I thought it was from an old agdg game. I don't play moba shit so I couldn't tell.

Would you buy your game, anon?

>>167417919
what are the lines?

>>167432204

They're the force caused by those sections of the wings, just for helping me debug.

They're both Unreal. Right is default settings, left is default settings without the tonemapper.

Remember to enable HDR + tonemapping on your Unity projects.

Comfy Kids PROGRESS!

Walking around, can bump into things, camera follows and respects the bounds of level limits!

>>167433103
I don't see how fanart is related to the demo day page

>>167433181
i'll make the logo

>>167432201
no, but I would pirate it and then sue myself for the revenue loss

>>167433340
Insufficient page hype = not enough artist hype

>>167433193
i cant im busy

>>167433313
I like the UI. What's on the bottom right though?

>>167432189
I don't play it either but I always remember a cute girl when I see one.

How am I supposed to trust you now faggot? What if other images from there are also from other games? Get someone with more video game experience to work on this shit.

>>167433516
Well, since you aren't going to make the page yourself my suggestion is that your time would be better employed in attempts to motivate artists to make fanart rather than attempting to indirectly motivate artists to make fanart by motivating someone to make a new demo day page but that's of course just a suggestion so do whatever you want

>>167430923
But I did. >>167425332

>>167433793
cease the spergin
you want somebody to do fanart for these threads, right anon?

>>167432350
In my opinion CE has amazing shaders for rendering foliage in the distance whereas UE crushes everyone in close-ups hence why it's so good for ArchVis.

Health-for-ammo seems good, like a gun that fires blood or something. Running out of ammo would become a bit of a punishment.

IT KEEPS HAPPENING

Next time I'm going to make the assets first, then make a game.

>>167434292
hire an artist or do what I did find an artist friend who likes games and agrees to do them for fun with you

>>167434357
i had to keep going back and changing shit after realizing it looked bad in-game, I would not recommend it.

>>167434292
Why not just practice? Or ask a friend for help?

>>167433313
Reminded me of Stranded Kids for the GBC.

>>167433676
Bottom right shows what weapons the player has in their primary and secondary hand spaces, (they can access items in the pause menu for stuff like consumables) and the other thing at the far right is a sun-tracking clock. I'll be implementing darkness soon.

>>167434547
Yes! That and it's sequel (that i discovered at the beginning of this year, very happy to have gotten to play that to boost HYPE for gamedev) are the main inspiration of the game I'm making. I tried making this game some fuck eight or nine years ago on the TI calculator using FlashGordon and some other stuff and it worked great until I accidentally got carried away with how much space I was using on the calculator and it started causing memory corruption on the calc. Eventually it bricked it, so I had given up on the project for a long time. I saw comfyjam and the project came flooding back to me and i was like "FUCK YES" its time to do this.
sorry about the blog post, very fucking excited about muh progress.
