/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

Can I make a game that steals your credit card info?
It's not a virus, it's a game.

Second for programming viruses to spread your game.

Third for Marmo Jam

I'm not going to make the comfy jam deadline. I'm the one making the rpg but it's now only 80% ready for a demo. I won't be able to write fast enough. Sorry anons. See you on demo day.

So,
There are models and textures you can download if you cant draw
There are sounds and musics you can download if you cant make music
There are no games you can download and put your models and music over if you cant program

Explain how this is fair

>>168277996
The art is cute, looking forward to the demo.

>>168278031
>There are no games you can download and put your models and music over if you cant program
There are thousands of open source games you can easily put models and music over.

Just reposting from the last thread real fast because I didn't keep track of how soon it was ending:

Took a small amount of time out of redoing all the art to finish up the dialogue system (none of the new art is implemented yet). Now depending on how a fight ends you get a different flow of story. Probably not impressive but it is one step closer to the kind of experience I would like to make. (I know he is not a cube and I apologize profusely. He was named this before he had his 'story portrait')

In the next 2-3 days I hope to come back and show the improved project art. I won't be participating in Recap Monday this week but hopefully next! Happy devving, everyone!

how butthurt are you about source? im pretty sure it's an engine that has had third party games made on it

Are people really going to be making their games viruses now?

Are all the joints character or configurable joints? I know you have a sort of semi realistic pull/push system happening to drive the animations, but what determines when they break?

there aren't any animations. the characters use config joints to move and stabilize. the ball guy is just for testing out new mechanics that i put on the normal 2 legs guy later.

i'm planning extensive injury and dismemberment mechanics, which i can do more organically if the characters don't have animations.

https://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/articles/unity-now-youre-thinking-with-components--gamedev-12492

i'm the anon that was asking about structuring my code yesterday. found this article while i was slacking off at work today, it feels like it generally describes the problems i was having and how to solve them. does anyone with more experience in unity have opinions on this? should I be erring on the side of extrapolating every individual function into its own script rather than grouping by "unit"?

Marmo used to post here when working on his game, he would have random outbursts of the feels and use the thread and the now defunct steamchat as a personal blog. It was a time with less literally insane people, so it stood out. Hence, marmofeels.

Added a rough lock-on progress indicator. I'd like to make it move more linearly but it's fine for now

What should I do to better indicate the player's target? I have a direction indicator in an old build that pointed an arrow in the target's direction but it still didn't specify which entity it was pointing at. Ace Combat has the player's target square blink but that probably won't work as well in 2D. Maybe if I just made it blink really fast or something

>>168281652

I guess it's a "you had to be there" thing.
Also he used to avatarpost with some animu girl if I remember correctly.

>>168281881
This seems like such a non-problem that I feel like I must be missing something. Display the lock-on target in a different color or with a different shape than everything else?

>>168281817

I am the Admin. There will be no more talk of the poll or jam in this thread. The theme will be "Pirates" and that is Final. The thread will be closed until further notice to scrub it of source and other shitposting. Thank you for your patience and obedience in this trying time.

>>168282331
Agreed, construction would have been fun.

>>168281881
It looks pretty good as is anon, I might only turn on the green 'lock-on able' squares if the enemy is within a certain distance or within a certain vision cone. or both.

You can probably forego the green squares around enemy missiles, and the blue ones around 'friendly' missiles to help alleviate visual clutter.

the whole point of a jam is to give time pressure to motivate you to actually finish a project

it doesnt matter in that nothing bad will happen to you, its not like some thread police are gonna call the FBI on you or something, but you may as well make a game on your own time indepndently of the game jam if you dont plan on adhering to the timeline anyway

It's important to have a democratic process to see what jam will be next.

If you don't like it, just don't participate in the jam and make a different game on your own time! :)

>>168283506
>a poll where you can vote for whatever option you want AND add new ones isn't democratic

Just because something you don't like is winning doesn't make it undemocratic. If you don't like what's winning, just make the game you want to make, independently of the jam. Everybody wins. :D

>>168283228
Just ignore the spammers. They feed on attention.

>>168283506
then make a democracy jam

>>168283430
The poll is already spammed with several fake votes. Don't even tell me that you think there's 819 unique people on /agdg/ in the past day.
Also spamming the link in this thread doesn't make it any more or less democratic. You're just breaking a rule.

are you the guy who fucks the recap up with alarming consistency or is that someone else

Help me, AGDG, you're my only hope!

I'm new to using unity and I'm trying to make a little spaceship thing. The problem is, when I make the player gameobject kinematic, the camera works fine, but I can't apply thrust force (kinemantics, huh? who knew?) but if I unckeck the Is Kinematic box on the gameobject rigidbody, it starts half embedded in a nearby sphere and when I apply thrust to escape the sphere, it appears to tumble and fall, but still responds to conrtolls. Gravity is unchecked on the rigidbody, btw. I think it may be the camera, but I don't know why it would behave differently based on the kinematic state of its target.
Thoughts?

>>168284649
people have told me that so many times honestly i may at some point. i really wanted to stress that this is mouse and keyboard intially though. maybe if this goes well enough.

>>168285320
You seem to have forgotten about your cloned game, which was barely more than a stillbirth.
If you've undergone therapy to forget this traumatic failure as a game developer and I've rekindled the memories, I'm very sorry. Please forgive me.
Goodnight.

>>168285352
I am the guy who constantly fucks up with the recap. I'm not very good at it it seems. I always forget something.

>>168279758
You can code this way, and it's fine. You can also code the way you've been doing and that I assume most of us here do, which is one script per gameobject. I've also seen someone use ONE monoscript for the ENTIRE game, and build a completely parallel update loop of their own, just using unity for rendering and the editor.

That's the nice thing about unity, you can choose what level of interaction that you have with it, and how unity-like you want your code to be.

>>168285558

So I've been working on the rail destruction system, and before I proceed any further I was wondering what the good people here think.

When you destroy a rail piece should:
a) the entire piece be destroyed.
b) a hole big enough for the train should be created, rest of the rail stays intact.
c) a hole big enough for the train should be created, top part of the rail stays intact, bottom part get destroyed (they way it is now)
d) some other combination/solution

Progress:
+ Added new Rapier combo attack
+ Fixed colliders on the enemies so the Rapier charged attack now hits them
+ Updated plugins used
- Timing on pressing the attack button for the new Rapier combo attack is not easy to do, will need to tweak the animations
- Enemies are still hitting each other
- Bought and played Nioh
- Had to work on my side project, it's what pays the bills so I had to devote time on that too

God I miss Unitys old particle system. Explosions were trivially easy to make.

Why do games both modern and old make melee weapons just guns with longer animations but close range?

And how do you not do it?

>>168289531
Lots of games don't, you just have to do collision detection (typically continuous) with the moving weapon.

>>168288202
why are you modeling with triangles in the first place?

>>168289531
if you want melee to not feel like guns, your weapons model must be more complex than just a range check
mount'n'blade, for example
chivalry

>>168286401
What purpose does the existing track serve?

If it is a goal to keep the longest continuous length of track then perhaps missiles that hit friendly tracks make a hole, if there's such a thing as enemy tracks it destroys the section.

Or multiple kinds of shots, tunnelers, and topplers. With limitations on how often/many of each shot you get.

Is "Apply Root Motion" disabled in the Animator component attached to your character?

And are you saving the .blend file in your unity Assets folder, or are you exporting an .fbx or something?

>>168291709
apply root motion is disabled
I was just using the blend but it wouldn't import non-deforming bones, so now I'm exporting an fbx. It shows the bone now but like the picture show, it's at the wrong rotation during an animation

Why the hell would you need that anyway?

Keep all the bones to a proper scale and just drop your blend into Unity. For scaling or shit you can just edit a copy of the animation directly in the engine.

So this is the power of unity...

>>168291870
Hmm. After you imported the first time, with just dropping in the .blend, did you select the .blend then in the Inspector tab, under the Rig section verify that you were using the Humanoid type of rig, and hit configure?

I can't speak as to whether or not that would capture your non-deformation bones, but that's the workflow that has caused me the least headache overall.

>>168292143
berserk

>>168292449
yep
google says that blend files tend to lose non-deforming bones and fbx is the best way to keep them
after experimenting more it's straight up losing the rod bone's animation entirely and just using it's default position, which is parented to the hand bone

>>168287876
that's a really good point, might go with b then.

>>168289948
should probably have made that more clear, the gameplay can be quickly summarized as multiplayer 3d tron.

>>168292659
I'm not sure how much you were willing to test this, but if the information (deform bone or non) is stored per bone and referenced during the import, it could be worth trying to set the bone to be Deform in blender, but weight paint everything for that bone to zero, and still use it for IK/FK or w/e.

Or maybe paint it to a single vertex or tiny tri not attached to the mesh but still part of the object with a completely see-through material one-pixel pure alpha or something.

>>168293014
figured it out
the rig was set to "humanoid", which means it disregards every bone that doesn't fit the humanoid convention
in the model's Inspector > Animations > Mask you have to explicitly tell it to imclude the extra bones for each animation
makes sense I guess

I haven't made a direct SRPG but I've made a game with a lot of similar elements and I don't think it's difficult per-se, but it's probably the slowest most time-sink-y thing I've worked on: lots of UI work, balancing etc.

esp. for your first game I'd recommend a real time game like a shmup instead, you can get a working prototype really quickly and you feel your changes immediately when you're testing the game, which does wonders for keeping yourself motivated

>>168294972

feedback:
-i love your train and track aesthetic
-bug where train got under floor after gaining a little speed (pic related)
-the idea that you could build your track on fornitures is lovely and i felt very excited until i discovered how you handled the camera (see below)
-camera linked to single pieces(default camera in costruction mode)is frustrating as fuck,something about controlling camera when placing single pieces doesnt feel right,99% of times i couldn't plan properly the track i wanted because i had no panoramic view(flying camera solves that until you want to build again... so...maybe flying camera as default it's a better choice for new players and leave this one as option?)
-train couldnt do much in this situation and got stucked(it's shame there is no conjunction piece for this particular combination)
http://puu sh/u2tds/7c5f360993.png
-highlight single pieces when you hover on them in flying mode could be helpful especially when you are editing the track
-in train mode maybe zoom out the camera until you can see levers/knobs moving(that would be awesome!)
-remember to disable unreal engine 4 debug tool

I shouldnt have to jump over this.

>>168299324
Same place as yours.

>>168299364
Where is your game?
Do you even have a game?

Why are you posting in a thread about game dev if you have no game? Are you a tranny or something?

keyboard controls are still fucked

?

>>168298832
60 mostly, but often dropped lower
also the game froze when I tried to open the door to frauki's mum but I'm guessing that's because it's not done yet

>>168298832
and, uh, combat feels like shit.

What are alternatives to /agdg/?

pirates or cops guys no amount of cheating will change that

>>168299517
both themes are too generic and uncreative
next

>>168299513
any place really

>>168299513
Having a happy and successful life, career, relationships, etc

>>168299103
Thanks!

>>168299030
Thats great, thank you. The big pink band is the rendering, and i can see it jumping way up when you move. I will hopefully be able to upgrade the tilemap renderer to webGL soon. That should help. Then it looks like you'll hit a consistent 60.

Also, the game speed and framerate are coupled for now, so it probably feels like slow motion when the camera is moving.

>>168299360
Ha oops, I need to move that door on the map so it doesn't stick out. Doing that now, thanks.

>milf jam at 69

>>168299459
I'll get around to testing on Edge fairly soon. Just have a lot of stuff lined up.

>>168299494
Thanks. When it froze, did you have the red prism shard?

>>168299501
Everything probably feels like shit right now because I coupled the frame rate to the game speed. When everything moves at 60fps and real-time is what is intended. If you have a more specific complaint I'd be happy to hear it.

>>168299812
no, I assumed that your game logic was already independent of rendering, and that slowness was a deliberate choice. Fix that and it should fix some of the problems!

>>168299812
>When it froze, did you have the red prism shard?
sure did
I got the shard, then I screwed around a bit and changes rooms a few times, then died, then tried the door
I could move the camera around but frauki has disappeared

Who won comfy jam?

>>168299565
>i dont like thing so i will call it generic and uncreative that sure will show him
where is your creative and nongeneric idea anon?

>>168299895
the players

>>168299867
Damn, that's a weird one. Thanks for the bug report, I just hope I can reproduce it.

>>168299921
post five different ideas for cops games that can be made in 2 weeks
post five different ideas for pirate games that can be made in 2 weeks
then you can talk

>>168299714
wtf is this
why is it here

>>168299112
>Is /agdg/ your only form of social interaction?

I interact with people at work. Sort of.

>>168300067
gross
delete it and kill yourself

>>168299714
DELET THIS

>>168300067
Register an SA account and do some "ironic" shilling there. Pretend to be grossed out at it. Tons of goons will "ironically" buy your game, and at least one or two will Let's Play it, furthering the shilling.

>>168299513
depends entirely on what aspects of agdg you like the most

Post Milf Jam ideas.

>>168300826
>still no ideas
I guess I was right huh
Do you not realize it's impossible to prove that the themes are generic?
>post generic idea
>hurr you're just uncreative, the idea is not generic
>post not generic idea
>see? the idea is not generic

what if Jam Jam

>>168300560
It's actually illegal.

>>168300729

My biggest regret is that I wasn't able to implement this in the game.
