oh yeah, arctan came in handy from my previous player controller but I was having trouble converting it to relative rotation

it just seems weird to me that I have to have those two if statements separated like that for rotation, maybe its just ugly code but the order the variables are updated it determines it needs to stay that way. i'm probably just overthinking, at least it works...

You will understand one day young memer. webm for retards converts it, obs is wizard magic and everyone uses their own settings I haven't figured out the proper settings for me yet in the newer version. But as a broader answer to your question you pick up random skills by just browsing 4chan for long enough. Making any sort of webm is a required skill as soon as you want to step into that sort of oc generation. Just like a lot of people have pretty decent understanding of their way around photoshop, gimp, paint etc to make their fresh memes.

I've changed up the controls a bit. Originally, pressing up would cause you to ollie, then in mid air, pressing up again would slam the skateboard down and make you jump higher. This remains unchanged. When in mid air, pressing down would slam the skateboard down, and pressing it again would slam you onto the skateboard. Now, pressing left does what down previously did, and pressing down slams you and the skateboard onto the ground at the same time. Having to hammer the button twice seemed unnecessary and annoying.

Same behavior as R-Type force, also in this game the punches pierce shields.
Example there is a stationary medium enemy in one level which is inmune to hits in the back, you could ignore that with force punches.
Key differences with R-Type force:
- Don't stop enemy bullets.
- Attached is almost hidden in the back of the corgi, shoot comes from corgi mouth.
- Animal Spirit detached align vertically with corgi only if the player don't shoot
- Animal Spirit interacts with Zawarudo and punches hits harder and in a bigger range.
- TODO: make a condition where if a boss is killed by a punch from animal spirit in zawarudo, this explodes in a more cool way.

The idea any type of gameplay is less of a waste of a players time is a giant fucking lie. People will do things that aren't immediately fun in the game to get extra enjoyment later on. Whether that's hours of getting fucking raped in a skill based boss fight or rummaging through trash in fallout 4 is completely irrelevant. Players do it because they want to play the game. Whether they "trick" themselves into thinking its fun (this is the argument "I beat a hard boss" achievement fags will use to defend trying to beat a boss for 3 hours) is irrelevant.

You're promising an experience. If your making a post nuclear survival RPG you are actively robbing players of the experience of rummaging through trash to find that extra bit of comfort later on that they think is playing smart. The parts of fallout 4 where you are powerfisting through super mutants with the "HES HACKING HES WACKIN HES SMACKIN" butcher pete song (below), isn't any less important for bringing the player to that world than the atmospheric parts where your rummaging through a ruined schoolhouse looking for pencil lead.

If you find something tedious in a game you probably just aren't the target demographic. Tens of thousands of players play EVE Online daily and many will swear is the greatest game they've ever played because of how committed it is to being another world. Others will say its shit because it involves literally archiving your enemies private forums for player data, information, and espionage.

Though I will say on the subject of making a modern "treasure chest" type of mechanic. There are ways to get the best of both worlds. In a modern world accounts, codes, files, data, and source code are more valuable than a lot of shit. You don't need to have some faggy hacking minigame either. Drop a blackbook in a desk, or leave notes of an NPC's family around the area and leave it up to the player to try and steal the person's accounts and personal information to get that dank money. You could also just copy mass effect, kotor, etc and have chests.

Still TODO:
-Tweak the mass and force settings until it feels a bit better and more of a struggle.
-Make checks for when the players hands are too far to be effectively pushing, and auto reset them, or stop the amount of force they emit.
-Make some camera controls that aren't garbage.

Then, just gotta make a few textures, and I can try my hand at giving character modeling and sculpting a real go at it.

I'm still stuck on this question 8 months later
Let me know if you find out

If I put up a game onto Steam, is it possible to remain anonymous with a pen name?

I've produced disgusting fetish driven RPG Maker and HTML story games under a pen name, which have been well received by the people who have played them.

So I'm finally working on a "real game," one that I want to end up selling on Steam (not RPG Maker or Twine, I assure you), and I've been wanting to keep it vanilla for the sake of my public reputation, but I can't help but still want to do weird shit with it and I don't people to know that I'm a perverted deviant.

>>168770096
The first one's needed because you're using transform.forward to determine the direction of movement (which is based on your rotation)

What happens if you take the second one out?
What happens if you take

>>168770059
getting others to play helps
but a good question is can you just fuck around in your prototype and have fun? Is it nice to use the mechanics you've got?

>>168770059
If the game isn't at least a little bit fun without juice, then it likely wont be fun with juice.
But it is hard to tell whether it will be good after tweaking it some more, or changing mechanics. So you'll have to decide if you want to keep changing it, or if you want to make something else.

>>168770367

what...?
you(s) must be missing from what I explained in the last thread

>>168770970
You asked if the code you posted could be made any more efficient, I'm linking you the videos where someone explains each portion of basically the exact same code so you could better understand whats happening in it.

I can't really remember if its entirely appropriate, but if I'm planning to make a lewd game but I'm, well, more of a writer then a coder or an artist...

I've considered using RPGMaker, since it's going to have battles and all, but I always hear a lot of mixed things about it, and my lack of coding knowledge seems to really hamper my attempts.

I know of a few text VN-engines that can - in theory - handle combat, but Twine seems like that's a real clusterfuck, and Ren'py seems more flexible, but the fact its completely lacking any kind of UI and is direct coding makes it... awkward to use.

Are those really my best three options though?
Sorry if this isn't really the place to ask.

In a turn based game, should the AI recalculate pathfinding for each piece before every piece moves or just when they run into obstacle that got in the way (another piece)?

>>168770837
first way would be to search the name, since retards usually use the same name everywhere
trawling through the dev's posts to find any tidbits and using those in your search would work too. Especially if the dev has told their usual friends/follows who proceed to shit up the comments with references to his old work/in jokes, etc
if the dev has a unique/noticeable style, and the work is in the same genre you could stumble upon it accidentally and realise it's the same guy
plus the moment anyone finds out it's the same guy it's going to be spammed everywhere since people love that shit, so it won't stay a secret for long

>>168771159
rpgmaker is made for people like you, and has hundreds of h games made with it already

For what it's worth, I believe the code is as efficient as it can be. If you are worried about it running so often you could stick it all in a coroutine and only run it ten times a second or something.

I want to make a morrowind style open world game in UE4, is this possible?

>>168772089
yeah, I'm not too worried about it being efficient its just some of the internal workings of the functions confuse me.

basically I have a static camera a la prerendered era final fantasy games, but it rotates to follow the player as it moves around. so when the camera is rotated to the left, I needed to update the input so that pressing the up arrow still moved the character up on the screen rather than "up" in world space (which would be right if the camera is turned left)

so now basically if you hold down the right arrow the character makes a circular motion around the camera

that lines that I wrote to link the camera rotation to the player's movement is what confuses me, because any sort of edit that I do breaks it

I think its because i'm reusing the same variable (velocity) when I should probably have two, but it works for now and I'm satisfied with that

I find that more impressive to be honest. A lot of the older Nintendo games like Mario 64 and OoT had so much fucking work put in them it always boggles my mind whenever I see some videos showcasing and explaining how some glitches used for speedrunning work. They really went an extra mile to make sure the player has a good experience. Something I can't do in my current state because I can't even finish the race, let alone go an extra mile.

Perfectly fine to hide your loading (legit loading not fake) in the splash screen right? Or do people really want to see Now Loading somewhere for the sake of feeling less cheap?

The leg joints are super simple to save polys, but I figure it won't be a big deal because it'll be tiny on screen and there's enough loops there to keep the meat of the leg intact while moving.

You can tell it's haunted and scary because one of the banister posts is broken.

Is there a rule of thumb for what I should do with the "include" feature on Game Maker (2)? I feel like I should embed all the assets... but if that were actually necessary then the IDE would be more conducive for that.When I press "insert included file" I'm expected to look through Windows explorer for the file... as opposed to stuff already imported into the game maker project, like sprites and scripts. I'm just not clear about exactly what a built .exe does or doesn't contain by default.

Your stairs are too big, the average door frame is 2100mm high and a good tread height on the stairs is like 150mm, your stairs are like 260mm (based off the door height)
Everything else seems fine though

Just to make sure there's no confusion in perspective, that door on the side of the stairs is a tiny broom closet.

Man, trying to write for my game as a non-english speaker is fucking hell.

Which one of these two sound "better"? Cause I know neither sounds good but I can't really afford LoK writing in my shitty RPG.

Starting phrase :
>Having went off the beaten path to cover more distance, the party eventually comes across what appears to be a small village in the midst of a festival.

Up-next phrase that needs changing
>Its dwellers seem to be joyously celebrating, they put good food on display for all to take and dance near the fire, young and old alike.

Or
>Its dwellers seem to be joyously celebrating by putting up good food on display for all to take and dancing near the fire, young and old alike.

>>168775825
not him, but if the normal door is 2100mm, and there's 8 steps up to that point, each step is 260mm

I think he measured from the normal size door

>>168775868
I prefer the first, I'd also add a comma after 'take'.

However I only got grade C in English, so get someone to confirm.

Replace the first comma with a semicolon. That's how you attach two complete sentences while also telling the reader to take them in "consecutively", if that makes sense.

no, you'd have to do it every time something got in the way, and you have to run it for each unit
The pathfinder returns a list of positions for that specific object at that time. If something gets in the way then the path is useless and you have to regenerate it. You can use tricks like only regenerating part of it, making the unit wait until it can keep moving, etc, to save the relatively expensive cost of running the algorithm.

In blender, if I've got a model with a mirror modifier and an armature, is it possible to mirror the whole thing including the weight painting? I've been looking it up but in classic blender fashion there's a thousand different ways of doing it and all of them outdated

>>168787272
>mirror weight painting
Don't think that it's possible. Or I haven't found a solution for this.

Basically the process would need to both copy the current vertex group, flip them and flip the name all in one go. Considering that they are 3 different actions I don't think there's an automate way of doing it, unless you write your own specific python script for it.

>>168787272
if the armature is symmetric and the bones have proper .L and .R suffixes then it should mirror automatically

>>168787272
If you duplicated flipped, flipped the bone names, then joined your mesh would it work?

Are you in shape anons?

>>168789590
>Ahah, I'm glad you like it.
More like I'm glad there's someone like you around, your models are very nice. Gave me a good excuse to go back into blender and and all.

I've always liked your models since you started posting here anyway. Consider it an indirect collab, I always wanted to try something with your work. (Yes for the CastleTerraCraft thing btw)
btw I've noticed very late since I wanted the thicc girl first but you forgot to add the pirate girl in the links

Started work on the healthbars again. Currently trying to work out where everything should go. The concentration and dodge stats are just stuck at the top because I can't think of a better position. It's really cluttered but it's all info you need in combat. Any advice?

The last time I was asking aggydaggy about this was in December, and then midway through I got distracted by updating the entire graphics engine and then creating the pictured "happy forest" tileset from scratch. I took the advice of the anon that suggested making the healthbars part of the GUI rather than a 3D object floating over the character's heads, it was a bitch to implement but anon was right in the end, so thanks to whoever that was!

I rechecked and the model is there (it's in the root folder, while the other models are in the NPC folder), but to be sure I uploaded the pirate girl alone

Rather than having 300/300 or 1000/1000, just have the current amount of health and it will be neater.

Either way, have the numbers centred in the bar, not at the right hand side.

link the full folder senpai, your models look nice and I want to see your topology

>Rather than having 300/300 or 1000/1000, just have the current amount of health and it will be neater.

I think my justification for having it that way was that max health gets reduced after combat to whatever the lowest HP you had in combat was, basically to make healing weaker (otherwise the best strat would be to kite the last enemy around while healing in every battle). It does look shitty though, and it's probably not worth cluttering the UI up for.

>Either way, have the numbers centred in the bar, not at the right hand side.

Can do!

can we get a section for dedicated idea guys to drop ideas into`

Alright! It's a beautiful sunny morning, and I am feeling fantastic. Let me make art for you! I want to be part of a project. Let's make some dreams come true! All you have to do, is just tell me a little bit about your game. Today's the day!

>>168790483
ty, they're very nice models

>>168790815
Why? Nobody's going to go looking for it.

>>168790815

Sometimes I think about just fulfill a dream of an idea guy. I could tell I've made a game, and he could see his vision come to life. Win-win.

>>168790969
Can't decide what to post until I know a little about your game.

>>168791034

That's why you should practice it instead of avoiding it

>>168791293

We get these useless artist posts every single thread anon.

>>168791034

Heeell no. I have not taken a shit or eaten in 3 days and i'm still not hungry. What the fuck is wrong with me?

>>168791790
See a doctor and get your gut checked out.

What would you guys like to see in a game focused on magic?

>>168791034
if you want to come up with ideas like an ideaguy makes you must live the ideaguy life, playing popular videogames on consoles and eating doritos.

>>168791790
Do you feel tired and sick also?
