>conio style getch() and colored text output
I can't say I even know what you mean, but I don't know of any console type stuff in it. There's nothing saying you can't just code that I guess though. You might want to look around, but be careful, some libraries might be Windows only. Monogame doesn't have great text support as it winds up being blurry spritefont stuff due to cleartype (more like bleartype mirite). Monogame.Extended has better support with BitmapFont. There's also Nuclex's vector font, but you'd have to edit it and take the windows only parts of it out. Best of luck to you, anon!

>>168326658
Adding in a controls tutorial that's not text (finally), and trying to resolve a few issues in the introduction that are causing music skips/bad fadeouts/etc.

Also taking out all the manual transitions to new scenes and replacing them with a unified fade-in/fade-out control so that the movement time between areas is always consistent.

Also a very quick polish pass on the general interfaces of the game. Then I'm on to bridging the Intro to Act 1.

>>168327726
Yeah, mostly because of the coloration. I'd like to be able to build and work on the project on my uni laptop (linux) and my desktop pc (windows). I mean I could probalby write small function to abstract the platform specific stuff. Also I didn't find much on coloring console output, when searching before. I found methods to do it in linux and windows now though.
But the other reason is that I have not found a getch like the one in conio. What I mean by that is that it does not wait for the user to press enter, the function returns as soon as any key is pressed. The only solution to that would be using ncurses I guess. And when I'm about to learn a library anyways I thought I could as well go directly to a game library so that I can use the same library in the future.

>>168329004
I second Bruce Campbell one-liners.

>>168328760
I'd put the action somewhere between RE2 and RE4. There will be more combat than 2, but slower paced and less over-the-top than 4. The combat centers around bringing out your weapon and waiting for your character to "focus" to get critical shots. Your focus decreases when you move and fire, so crowd control is essential to give yourself enough space to line up good shots.

in SDL, how do you ship textures? just put them in a folder and hope the player doesn't delete them?

>>168329548
To be honest, I've only played 1, 4, and 5. The gameplay sounds like it could be interesting but it'll probably be frustrating, but that frustration factor is rather linked to the survival horror part of it, so it works, really.

>>168329634
why would a player delete files from the install folder?

putting them in an archive will improve load time

>>168329007
Use OBS + Webm for retards. WebMCam may seem convenient, but it's really just "take a screenshot cropped to these dimensions at 30fps", nothing more.

>>168329752
>putting them in an archive will improve load time
That's debatable. If you have them in the archive in the order that they are loaded, it works. If you have to seek around a lot in the archive, it could be potentially faster to have the files "loose" especially on an SSD.

If I'm only devving for fun, is it wrong if I don't have a 'main game' I work on for several months or years, and instead keep making small projects and jam games?

>>168329743
I'm trying to strike a good balance with the combat to avoid frustration. You move pretty quickly when you aren't aiming, and you can still strafe about, albeit slowly, while you're aiming. The focusing happens quickly, just not so quickly that you could magdump and never miss a shot.

>>168329976

Also the best part of this method as opposed to making your assets packaged into some random fuckoff format is that someone can see Swordsman_Sprite.png, open it up in GIMP or Photoshop and alter the textures, save it, and overwrite the previous file to make cool texture packs.

I am biased towards underlighting so I think it looks good.

Do you think it's unfair to check the game's files for MD5s at boot, and only let them play with people who have the same MD5 for the list of MD5s? That way you can have mods and patches but you can only play with people who have the same mods and stuff.

>>168332786
In short without the extra code for update the position to global coords, the key of that method is
.set_as_toplevel(true)
which ignores transforms of parent node in some bullets and behaves in "global coords"

>>168333609
>not letting people produce incompatibility errors
>unfair

Some inspiration for the next Jam:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/39/Police?page=1

>>168333609
How are you going to differentiate between the people that simply have a loli-catgirl hud mod and someone that has a mod that "could" give an unfair advantage or alter gameplay?

why do idea guys constantly feel the need to send you their ideas? especially ones that tend to be a ton of work yet barely change the game fundamentally

it's especially annoying when it's an anon ask on tumblr, because then you have to find a nice way of saying thanks but no thanks to not come off as a dick

>>168333705
But set_global_pos() ignores any parent transforms. It literally sets the global position of a node. If you use set_pos() it respects the parent transports.

>>168333813

>>168333813
I have a folder called Soft which has all the softcoded data that changes gameplay. I would only check for MD5s in the Soft folder. Stuff like graphics and fonts and audio won't be checked.

>>168333609
You should have an equivalent to Source's sv_pure/sv_consistency server commands, which dictate whether people connecting to the sever can have mods or not, and can also force loading of the defaults.

>>168333752
>Psycho Pass
>GitS
>Deathnote
>Jin-Roh

>>168334013
I'm not familiar with source, but it's a RPG so gameplay mods can produce serious incompatibility errors. I'm not counting anything other than gameplay specific stuff in that equation, so you can have a loli catgirl HUD if you want and still play with others.

>>168329298

Sounds good then, you should let people see games where they don't have the required mods and have them be a different text color or something.

Also some suggestions, preferably both, preferably on the same screen
>give an option to output a txt file with a list of the mods that are missing
>give the option to download the missing mods from the host/other player

I'm just thinking from the standpoint of friends trying to play together. This is how Warcraft 3 handled its shit and it made it pretty easy to deal with this sort of stuff.

You could also have an option thats like.

Always Download Missing Files || Ask Me Every Time || Don't Show Games With Missing Files.

When you create a game have an option to toggle letting people download files on and off. Don't have the game show for people that don't have the files downloaded.

A game where you play as the loli Major

>>168333876
The advantage of toplevel is you could have code developed in local coordinates, then move that same code to globals setting that flag to true and forget about the global or local. For me at least is a simple solution.

And the most important part is toplevel(true) ignores transforms from parent, so the node ignores parent rotation/scale too.

>And the most important part is toplevel(true) ignores transforms from parent, so the node ignores parent rotation/scale too.
The "set a flag to swap global/local" I grant you.
But any transform function has a local and global version. If you know that a node will need global transformation at a point that never needs to be local, there is no reason to use toplevel.

>>168336115
yeah. it sends a fake md5 to the server that makes the client seem like it has no mods

Reminder: Programming is not game making. It translates the game in a language the computer understands and can execute, but it's not the game itself.

>>168336309
True, it could simply calculate the MD5 from the vanilla assets and not the modded ones.

Simply put I don't think there's a way to truly solve this problem short of rendering on the server, or at least intelligently only transmitting information about things that are visible (in a manner that isn't too conservative yet also not too lenient).

>My goal was to make it so that you wanted to stay in the air as much as possible.
If you want to make a superman game, using spiderman mechanics may not be the way to do it.

The problem with you game as I see it is that you let the player control with wasd in the air too much. The focus is the hookshot, so model the world to fit that. Instead of just boring toyblocks as obstacles and anchor points, introduce interesting architecture that less restricts the player and adds interesting ways to traverse the map. On building corners you could add overhangs the player can attach to and swing under. Throw two scyscrapers connected by a bridge in there. Basically introduce some swiss cheese to your architecture.
The hook shot needs strong acceleration, favoring motion on the x/y plane instead of height, so the player picks up speed and is only yanked back when he actually wants to.

- Installer. Please no.
- When I sat down with my cocoa to read a book while the music was on, I almost shed a tear.
- It's a perfect execution of the "waiting game" genre. With a shit ton of assets and with the option to visit other people's room I could see a good browser game coming out of it. But that would take away from the comfyness, I guess.
- There's a bug when on the next day I still have my book and my cocoa in my hand.

I'm actually not adding proper mod support, but I want system stability. My soft files are simply gzipped XML, so it's really easy to just up and change stuff around. Also I don't plan on adding real mod support or encouraging mods at all, but I want people to still be able to play together even if they somehow mod the game, as well as being stable for people who don't. It can also detect stuff like missing files and the like, and possibly be enough to check versions. That's the way I'm thinking of, anyways.

The third option is pretty bad. That true is what we call a magic number, a variable defined inside code instead of beforehand. This is how it should be formatted:

bool comparison = true;

if Boolean.toString(condition).equals(Boolean.toString(comparison)))

what would be the >best way to change the material on a gameobject instance depending on its individual script instance?

get it from an holder gameobject, put an array of materials inside every instance of the object or use resources.load?

if i have to use a large amount of materials (15-20), would the best solution to have the holder create an array of materials, loading them based on the requests from the instances, or just make an array with every material?

finally got some more dev time and kept working on room generation for fun

turned out to be incredibly easy to identify rooms and label them and all that mess since I'd already done all the hard work just by building the rooms.

Last step is to build a node graph type of thing so the eventual AI can path from room to room as needed which means learning pathfinding but that shouldn't be too hard right?

Well, you could do it like some MUDs did, and have it all be text-based in an abstracted room or arbitrary zones within a room linked in a non-grid network.

File: DixieGroundPound.webm (2MB, 709x480px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 709x480px

Suffered what could only be described as "catastrophic project failure" with the old Grunt asset from Mayhem League, could not get the project to open back up until it was removed.

In a fit of paranoia I first backed up ML, then removed ALL non-essential assets from Dixie (meaning all the old ML stuff that I wasn't using), rewrote everything that referenced it, and then backed THAT up. Having one game built on the guts of the other was causing all sorts of errors in dependency and I just can't risk having it happen again. Now, once I finish moving over the Grind Rail asset, the only things left in the ML folder are meshes, materials, and particle systems (i.e. nothing that executes code). This makes me happier.

In terms of actual progress, got a couple things set up. First some level design progress; to go with it, a new "bottomless pit" asset that can kill Dixie. Also, boulders which can only be destroyed by Ground Pound; these are "checkpoint assets", in that they're meant to block progress one direction and then stay un-blocked once you clear them the first time, so they have to remember their state. Got that working as well, arbitrary level actors can now specify their state freely the same as Cores and Shards.

In the realm of not visible progress, 2D zones are now up and operational (I think fucking with this is what caused the catastrophic error due to how entangled they are with the specific actors that can interface with them). The Dixie method is MUCH simpler than the ML one, but 2D aiming is functional for both side-on and top-down zones.

Well that's the thing here too, most of my dreams are generally abstract and nonsensical, so when it's not I'm pretty sure my subconscious is trying to tell me something.

Just for fun, a demonstration of both 2D zones in action.

The 2D aiming system is SO much simpler now, rather than trying to get a cursor position on-screen and then reprojecting that back into the world we just translate mouse movement to a position within a unit circle around Dixie either horizontally or vertically. Analogue stick input overrides the mouse's position (or its last position) if the stick is tilted more than 80% of the way.

No muss no fuss, and by using a world-space "aim target" dummy for this, I can easily attach a reticle to the screen in-world rather than trying to project it onto the HUD surface, which looks nicer anyway.

Only drawback is that at the moment the whole thing feels a little squirrely with the mouse, I probably need to expand the size from a unit vector to a 100-unit vector or something to give more fine control.

Unlike Mayhem League, because of Dixie's level design considerations, these will probably be done in the style of Super Mario Galaxy (i.e. specific stretches will apply this restriction which are accessible from easily defined entrances and exits and bound otherwise on all sides by impassable barriers). I don't think they'll stretch conditionally through the level and be turned on and off the way ML's did.

I'm still not at the point where I care yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be soon. I'm not scared of being old, I'm just scared of not finishing the series of games I want to do.

Good job anon. How new are you to game dev and what language are you using? Not that what you did was bad or anything, I'm just wondering if I can impart some knowledge on you.

>>168345597
Why are people so hell bent on calling their games Roguelikes anyway?

>>168346373
Buzzword, like "Survival" and "Sandbox"

I can relate. With the kid on the way, suddenly time had become a countable resource which I can only hope I have enough to do the things I planned for my lifetime.

Just started working on HTML5 online game. Aiming for comfy 4-6 player co-op and a comfy zelda-like gameplay and diablo loot system. Sort of an excuse for me to learn node.js and game maker. Early character maker screen.

>>168346443
But it's only a buzzword since people have stopped following the first meaning which is "like Rogue" and the second meaning which is the Berlin Interpretation in the first place.

There's always been this pervasive desire for many people to call their games Roguelikes regardless of how close they are to Rogue or the BI.

>>168346492
Well, congratulations on the kid, but I'm sorry that it'll hurt dev. I'm still not into that part of my life yet, but one can only hope that you have a partner that will help you still do the things you love to do (and vice versa)

>>168346492
no it's too late you pumped your mana into a succubus, your creative energy is drained already

see it all the time, creative man, driven, makes great works, succubus arrives, steals mana, now he's dull and uninspired, many such cases, sad

I'm working on it has fast as I can anon, but I think I might be burning myself out because I haven't stopped doing art for days now. Update either Wednesday or Thursday (moth shmup dev)

Made it so the more energy usage you use, you slow down, but if you let off the fire button you jump right back to top speed. Bullet speed is also linked to energy usage now.

3D modeling noob here, are Cycles materials libraries of any use for gamedev? Same question for Blender Internal.
I'm looking for examples of a hard plastic, mostly so I can copy the material settings instead of fiddling with crap on my own.

>>168346929
no

>>168328540
>ramming
That's pretty terrifying. FOV seems a bit low though.

>>168344047
That's why it helps to learn a programming language first.

Are you using Game Maker? Then read the GML manual or print out a reference.

You need to learn the basic stones and blocks. Then you can create everything.

>>168346774
What I'm wondering is the REASON behind the semantic drift despite there being a very clear definition.

>>168329292
Now wrap it in skin.

I had a dream about me getting into an argument about a orange plug with a school mate i havent seen in years who also advocated for the reformation of the IRA in a 1984 dystopia, dreams mean fuck all, don't worry about it.

Was checking out the tools section of the OP and I couldn't find the actual settings you would use in WebM for Retards that would give you the best possible looking file (recording in FRAPS).

Anyone have suggestions?

>>168347175
I'm sure there are good posts about this out there somewhere, bu my guess is some combination of:
1. Roguelike was good marketing for a while, so people used it cynically.
2. The salient quality that people actually cared about in a roguelike was permadeath + randomness.
3. People earnestly made games inspired by other games, in a chain which gradually decreased the similarity to the game Rogue. I don't know the exact geneaology here.
4. A lot of people weren't actually aware of the game Rogue!

>>168347018
Are they even worth looking at?

>>168345951
s-sorry
>>168346084
Thanks! I'm using Java + libGDX. I have some programming experience, but yeah, I'm new to game dev so I will appreciate any knowledge you share!

>>168347995
I'm C#/Monogame myself. I only know of one other Java dev (VOTSdev), but for more general stuff I don't mind answering any questions. You can always stop by the IRC and ask stuff, but the first thing I notice is that you haven't figured out transparency yet. Unfortunately, I don't know the specfics on how to do that in LibGDX so that's somewhat of a moot point I guess.

>>168347738
Plus there's a historical precident of genre names coming from specific games. (metroidvania) it's a simple way of saying "well it's basically like x but..."

It's like someone getting mad you're playing an RPG without a table and pen and paper.

>>168347738
>The salient quality that people actually cared about in a roguelike was permadeath + randomness.
What about the deep mechanics and emergent gameplay? Strategy over action?

>>168348369
Exactly, I would expect a "Roguelike" to be like Rogue and a "Metroidvania" to be like Metroid or Castlevania, and the term "Metroidvania" is still very accurate whereas "Roguelike" has been bastardized beyond recognition.
