Repostin' for the new bread.

What's the comfiest modern 3D map editor for indoor scenes?

I specify "modern" because obviously the answer would be any Doom wad editor otherwise

>>168708069
You left out half the OP. Fuck off.

Aggy, give me a very small scope idea and I'll make it over the weekend.

Not like Snake tier. Closer to Asteroids or Tetris. I've made all 3 of those, tho, so none of them.

Is it normal to produce a map as basically one huge mesh? Think of a map the size of a Thief 2 level... surely it's broken up? If it is, how? Room boundaries? How are you supposed to assign textures from an atlas?

Oh, boy, a new thread already. Let me leave my message here once again.

When was the last time you've taken a good rest, /agdg/? Just casually reading a book, watching a film, playing a board game with your friends? Remember to take care of your mental health. That game doesn't worth it if you burn out or have a mental break down in the process.

Take care! Have some rest on this fine weekend!

That is very good to hear, anon! After some time Metroid already feels like going home, so I can only imagine how much of a good time you could have with all those extra mods! NES or SNES, by the way?

Coolness, I think it's Torn muscle, not 100% sure as I'm not a native speaker though.

>>168708460
how about: shooting them rotates them so you could line them up and clear them out tetris style. they fall upwards or something. the shapes that if you don't clear up, they turn into enemies in the jumbled mess of shapes they were last in

>>168708912
Let me phrase it another way... when you use an editor for an old game like Quake or Half-Life or Thief, you build geometry by performing boolean logic with "brushes". You can assign textures to the resultant n-gons without having to explicitly unwrap anything. Then you press "compile" and it builds a result the game can use, defined in terms of triangles and UV coords and all the rest of it.

What I'm asking is what that output really looks like. Is it one huge mesh? Is it a few dozen meshes split up arbitrarily? Is it one mesh per texture/texture atlas? Does it include a per-triangle texture ID along with the UV coords so the game can use multiple textures/texture atlases in VRAM? I've tried to look this stuff up without much success.

>>168708974
How is it ruined?

does anyone know why Unity won't let my character get on the damn ground?

it spawns with an x of zero, but it keep defaulting to like 0.1 on top of whatever its standing on.

is it because im using physics.gravity?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBFH6a3Dcvg

Daily reminder there's not limited tool or instrument, only limited people.

>>168708471
any way is ok, basically the idea with huge meshes is to reduce the draw calls I think.

Read on how to optimize art for game engines, but I could be wrong.

if you're using unity look up some information regarding that.

But i think chunks is the standart approach regarding a 3D level.

do you remember GTA 3 or driver 2?

>>168709216

apart from >>168691123 ?

Well, I am concentrating on the combat part right now, but later on (and this will be far off in the future), the game will have a life sim/RPG side to it like Persona 3 or 4.

Your character is suffering from high-blood pressure, and have 1 in-game year left to live, at the end of which, you face the final boss.

I don't know how extensive I can make the life sim part. Maybe it'll end up as just some sort of digital board game on top, where things just happens in menus, or maybe I could make it elaborate enough that you explore a 3d world (unlikely though).

Since the idea is that you're a superhero, you need to live your normal life, but maintain a secret identity. I want it to have a romance sub-plot in the same vein of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies, but I highly doubt I can pull it off.

>>168709473

holy shit dude quit being so butthurt about harmonicas not being able to do polyphony

>>168708471
>>168709708
You definitely want to break up the meshes.

Using huge meshes might reduce draw calls but it also means no LoD and no culling, which will heavily outweigh any performance benefit of fewer calls.
UE4 has a feature called hierarchical LoDs, which allow you to combine meshes into one big one when they are far away, but they become separate when you get closer. That seems like a clever idea.

I'm a programmer more than I'm anything else so if I do go ahead with a hobby 3D game, a lot of the fun for me will be in doing my own renderer.

Also, I have a unique style in mind that would be hard to achieve with typical renderers. I would be using a software rasterizer (already started on that part).

>>168709880
look up how psx games handle the level loading, at far distance.

go and play driver 2 and put attention when the level pops up.

>>168710096

we're just having fun.

I'll try to learn harmonica and it'll be great.

Intended for >>168709809

>>168710160
If you're using a software renderer then nothing you asked in >>168709473 really matters.

>>168710160
are u in college?
making a 3D engine is literally computer graphics.

>but I am self taugh
then you're not a programmer.

you're asking about shit they will teach you in college.

I'm making progress and nobody can stop me!

>>168710136
how much breaking up is too much breaking up?

if fpr example I have a modular level design and each level is roughly ~400 pieces of floors, walls, props, etc

>>168710328
It kind of does. I still need to render large textured meshes in a halfware efficient manner.

>>168710491
Self taught. I'm not writing it in the crazy awesome low-level ways classic software 3D was done. It will basically do brute force zbuffered projection and texture mapped rasterization. I'll be lucky if it even has basic lighting effects by the time I'm done, and it will certainly be very inefficient. I'm not 90s John Carmack, I'm under no illusions here.

>>168711008 (Me)
I inserted the word "zbuffered" in the wrong place here. Just mentioning that in case you think I don't know what zbuffering is, because you seem to be somewhat on the offensive anon. There are plenty of hobby 3D engines out there.

>>168711008
>I still need to render large textured meshes in a halfware efficient manner.
Then use the GPU.

any one got tips on making my own programming language that i can make my own engine in

>>168711008
bro, I joined this year my local college to study software engineering, I'm lucky is software engineering with a focus on computer graphics.

Half my degree is basically math, and I got BTFO just starting to study calculus.

Try to get into a college, it will teach you shit you don't think is usefull but all the math you can learn in college will make you better than most indies, if not all.

If you're american, a programmer degree is not a waste of time, very easy to find a 80k job.

Being self taugh will hurt you in the end.
Also, you will meet chicks in college.

I was like you until I decided to go to college to study CS, plus I could get the drawing and music classes.

>>168710491
ths is an amature thread

>>168710893
Well I mean don't go mad and have every floorboard be a different piece, but as long as things are culled properly the total amount shouldn't matter too much.

>>168711289
well first you have to make your own writing system with letters and numerals in order to write your programming language in

>>168710763

This is really fucking cute, nice work anon.

Fine for making video games, the editor is not particularly good if you want to make levels for the enjoyment of it

>UE4
By far my favourite

>>168711210
1. I don't wanna. More fun to write software 3D, even it it's stupid and slow.
2. Regardless of whether I use hardware or software rast, I still need to decide how to generate/split/store level mesh info.

>>168711354
Thank you for the life advice anon. I do understand that a formal CS education has advantages. In fact, I recently came across a Quora post called something like "Which skills do self-taught programmers commonly lack?". I looked over the answers and ordered a couple of books as a result.

I currently support myself with freelance work writing business logic webapps and I don't really want to juggle that with higher education.

>>168711654
>game dev degree
I'm sorry about that.

did you learn good math in your glorified unity degree?

>>168711474
If you're in America you can't just casually go to college to improve your indie gamedev hobby. You'd go $40k into debt to just like make game.

I mean, not that getting a Computer Science degree is a BAD decision - far from it...

>>168711402
that would require my own operating system

>>168711859
I was art-focused, so not at all.

>>168711843
>Regardless of whether I use hardware or software rast, I still need to decide how to generate/split/store level mesh info.
If there's no multitexturing the most efficient way is to probably split by texture.

>>168711843
>>168711860
If you're american, you should check what classes do harvard or MIT teaches to their CS people.
then use that information to self study all the classes.

look up the "MIT 1 year CS challenge"

just try to be honest and do the math.

>>168711974
>art focused
so you got scammed?

try to get a CS degree bro, or self teach yourself the math shit and shit like computer graphics, compilers, OS and networking.

well i fucked up i don't think i will complete my shitty beat'em up,i should've known better and starting with art like last project

>>168711289
You seem to be conflating your goals here.

Writing your own language is pretty cool.

Writing your own game engine is pretty cool.

Don't try to do both things at once. When it comes time to debug you will have no idea whether the bugs are coming from your engine code or your actual programming language's code generation / standard library / runtime.

>>168712351
so i should focus on making the os first

>>168712317
Any progress to post on it, anon? I am genuinely curious to see it if you do not mind.

Added the territory overlay, which draws lines along the borders between tiles of different owners.
I first experimented with tinted tiles for this overlay, but that looked bad and was confusing regarding player colors and terrain colors, e.g. one couldn't be sure if a water tile belonged to the blue player.

Has anyone managed to go from being extremely lazy with no motivation to working on your game as much as you can? I can work on my game for 1 week at a time then i'm done and i have to wait months before i get my motivation back.

>>168712207

I wouldn't say that, not entirely at least. My drawing skills improved a lot while I was there.

>try to get a CS degree bro

>>168713078
I usually work in every single possible moment on my game until I hit the can-not-art or can-not-design-levels wall, go numb for a few weeks or months then start over, leaving a trail of prototypes behind me. At least I'm happy on the way.

>>168712897
I like the dashed lines, looks good.

>>168712985
I guess one could say that. I'm trying to keep the scope small though. I want to focus on economy and logistics aspects, with little to no regard for diplomacy. The player is tasked with creating transport routes to move goods and resources from sources to factories and ultimately a warfront that's bound to exist somewhere.

I'm in the middle of changing enemies logic to have different behavior rather than only attacking player.
Think Doom, but while taking it to a whole new level.
These flying fuckers can't really do anything to the ungodly OP snails, so they are wary of them while trying to fend off the player or other threats.
When I'm finished I will be able to easily implement more complex behaviors which could turn it into a pokemon game.

About enemy behaviour, I wouldn't over engineer it, the players only see the output, they don't know if you have an AI system behind the scenes making everything move or if it's just 3 nested ifs.

There's a GDC talk about this a game dev team spent months on a super AI that avoided the player and went offscreen to do shit only to try to ambush from a different side. After they released the game they started reading forums, and the players perception was that the enemy just disappeared and reappeared behind a door.

There's also one about some small game about fighting rockets or something. Players were stumped by the great and difficult AI, but the dev just made it follow the player while respecting turn rate and velocity.

Players are schmucks.

>>168717319
dumb games attract dumb players who are best served by dumb AI.

>>168717162
Thanks.
I can agree on that, but it's not really that complicated. It's more like defining general rules to the game setting.
Like you can hold the snail to defend from the flying enemies. An enemy becomes an ally and it turns out there are no actual enemies, but rather something that feels like real creatures in existing ecosystem.
Discovering it is also part of exploration which is the most important part of my game.

Don't make it a responsibility of either party. Not that either of the three choices affect performance.

For some reason they usually leave /agdg/ after the release.

According to my knowledge, the leaving is often often caused by some guy who gets super jealous of the dev's success, finds a spot where he can insult him to death, and trolls him out of this place. Example is Aviary Attorney.

In other cases the dev just simply gets silent and never say a word again, like VA-11 HALL-A devs.

May I get some examples of good games with meme poly?

Many differences. He didn't have to make a school shooter to get attention or be hated. He made millions of dollars with a full feature length game that utilized actual physics and gameplay.

>also AGDG said at the time (and im sure to this day) that ive priced it too high at 12 buckaroos and that hasnt seemed to matter to it.
They were right. It took you over 1 year to get to 1000. This is not good at all for anyone with living expenses. Pricing it adequately would have given you more sales, which would have boosted you to the front page for quite a while, and this would have acted as a multiplier effect.

>But I'd also be into population dynamics.
Workforce and recruits are resources to be shipped around. Full on totalitarian state or bust.

>I think I saw you are using Godot?
Correct. Using the 2.2 version one has to compile from the git.

>Has it been hard to get where you're at with this game?
It didn't feel especially hard to me. I know that sounds like arrogant bragging, but what I mean is that with the skills and knowledge I have gathered so far, I didn't have a hard time applying those. The current dev time is 6 days / ~40 hours, but those were not like actual working hours with hard focus, but with 4chan open and all that distracting stuff. Effective dev time may be half of that.

>Do you have much gamedev experience?
>How did you learn to do it?
I have no finished game, although I familiarised myself with the engine through a prototype I threw in last demo day. That was really valuable, because I got to know the little kinks and the general workflow.
Before that it was just throwing out ideas, starting new projects, making a menu for them, abandoning them again; the usual nodev cycle. Before I started with Godot I used GameMaker for a bit. The biggest project in that was a world generation akin to Dwarf Fortress' overworld (although of course way less detailed) so I knew how to make different grids interact with each other and generally learn about cellular automata. With that I made a tilemap editor where I implemented chunk-loading and manipulating so GM would stop shitting the bed at 60x60 maps. I feel that these exercises were very beneficial to what I'm doing now.
Overall I also tend to build my gamedev vocabulary in my downtime, meaning watching / reading tutorials, design patterns, pseudo code for algorithms etc. While I haven't used everything I read, I'm glad to have something on the backburner so to say.

>>168727707

The enemies have 4 attack modes: random, direct, lead and bounce.
Direct attacks target the player's current position.
Leading the targets manages to hit the player if they continue to move linearly.
Bouncing bullets from walls can hit a stationary player rather accurately, currently the enemies can calculate 1 bounce but I think I'll add an enemy that can calculate double bounces.

Whip the Vote has had price cuts through sales, the sales had basically no effect, getting the same frequency of sales as when not on sale (some people even paywhatyouwanted it more expensive when on sale). people interested in a congress simulator aren't waiting for a drop in price since they have so few options in the first place, they buy it as soon as they find it.
i probably could've charged more, $12 is fair for a game that was not going to sell a ton in any case.

>>168730872
Yeah true. I should probably do that.

Not if you go for non-oral sex.

>>168728756
What engine are you using for this anyway? And what's the game about? I mean it's kinda cool watching you hit frogs and chameleons with a crowbar

>>168731008

Great news wizdev, I've been waiting

Not projection. Speaking of insane I've never had U.S. Senators calling me insane. That must have been some great publicity, how are you not rich and famous yet?

no, I mean sex with a condom.

good luck fucking a whore without one.

>>168731432
good for you, but it became a real chore and I was having depression over it.

I'm glad that burden is over.

>>168731217
if you're a creative having sex with a woman is the worst possible thing you can do

>>168731526
It was a fucking pun.

getting a Senator talking about you isnt even publicity when it's some corporate democrat back bencher.

Fun fact
He stole all that footage from progress posts on agdg and used them in his videos without asking permission
Cool guy right?

>>168731969

Yes kind of. The guy is standing really weirdly and I haven't straightened out the legs in the model yet.

That's not cute or funny. You're a scab.

how about instead of being pointlessly insulting you explain your logic for why anyone should need to ask permission to use publicly available material.
you use the term stole as if i hacked into peoples computers and took it.

that is fucked up. also 2:00 made me physically ill.
also trying to say he knew hopoo so he is therefore an industry insider.
just wow.

I don't know, googs seems like a pretty cool dude to me, makes game about sandy hook and doesn't afraid of anything

the goog haters seem like total fags though, always coming with the same old shit, it's source tier posting really

Okay I thought that was just a rumor but apparently not. You literally stole progress posts from agdg and put them in your videos that promote your brand and you think it's okay. I don't like you and I think I'm going to filter you now.

>>168732972
why would you even bring hopoo up? i feel embarrassed for you.

That's actually kind of funny because it's way better than many references I found on google. Thanks for the help it's appreciated. Also lol I'm suspecting that the reference guy is a midget or something

im glad you wont see this post.

Game Maker. Roguelite with all the usual stuff, you get explore levels to get more xp or perks or weapons to get to the next level and not die. Drone and (eventually) other robot dudes chase you through the levels. We just want to make a fast paced one that feels good and looks cool.

because his game sold a ton. i talked to him about it on steamchat asking him about how he thinks he did it. he did not know because it was unknowable.

hey bro, any advice regarding learning pixel art?

what game should I copy their art to learn?

>>168733347
Your game is so polished and juicy. But I can't shake the feeling that all those predictions of success will jinx it. Really wish it won't.

>>168733396
Keep it up then, I like your HUD and general presentation.

>>168733196
There's a reason it's a popular piece. It also has a text that describes more in lenght the average proportions of people
