This is me giving feedback to every other game dev in the previous thread. I usually do this a couple of times a week.

Pic related is my previous project, currently on hold.

I also made a shipping simulator for the vita a couple of years ago and posted progress regularly.

If you spent some time looking at progress posts and giving feedback you'd probably remember my game, but I've been participating in agdg for years and you don't get to say wether or not I can post my demo links here.

Download the zip of the map or file, unzip, then drag and drop the whole folder into your Unity Assets folder in the editor. Then drag and drop the .obj file (I believe) into the scene and you'll see the 3D model. Dig around for the texture and you can drag and drop that onto the model.

The Mario 64 one is nice as it has a single texture for the entire map. Not sure if they are all like that.

I see. You say to drag and drop into the assets folder in the editor itself, but I'm trying to do that, and it's not allowing me. Do you mean the section that says 'assets' under the scene, or something else?

>>168824060
then we'd have proof it isnt art.

>>168823695
That's pretty good feedback, thanks anon!

The thing with warrants is, if you get to the same city as the criminal and you still don't have enough clues you are fucked and will fail the contract. If you are in that situation your best bet is to gamble and get an arrest warrant with all the info you have and filling out the blanks.
The flight is too long sometimes,and too short other times, I'm incorporating a news screen there that will add more to it, but I'll probably make flight animations a constant length instead of it being relative to the distance.
The UI feedback is great, thanks.

Requesting help with tick/delta seconds (in UE4).

So I'm trying to factor in frame rate for every single function that applies a force on a pawn. Basically, I'm multiplying the applied force in each of these functions by (Get World Delta Seconds * idealFrameRate) [idealFrameRate currently set to 120 because that's the framerate I had before I implemented this -- I'll factor it out later].

For some reason when I'm down to about 40-50 frames (or below) in the editor it gets seriously jittery and forces seem to apply by huge amounts. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong with this method?

The game is entirely physics based. Pawn is controlled by AddForce and AddTorque.

I'm open to starting a dialogue about making art for your game, but you're going to have to tell me about your game before we begin.

The wiki thing might be a good idea, but I haven't found a way to implement it in a way it doesn't become a reading game.

I'll see what I can do about the no warrant thing, there might be a mechanic I can implement to get the extra clues you need (maybe for cash).

how does this work if the function that calls AddForce is being called on Event Tick? If I'm telling it to add 20,000 units of force every tick what is it doing to factor in the frame rate without me using delta seconds?

do you know if AddTorque does this as well?


very, very much appreciated

>>168826431
The answer is obviously "Yes". Vidya feedback is almost better than the dev standing directly behind you while you play.
Any dev answering "No" needs their license revoked.

>>168826631
If you check the description, it says that AddForce is to be used 'as a thruster', so it's assumed to be called on tick and will factor in framerate to keep a consistent force over time.
This is as opposed to AddImpulse, which adds the amount exact amount you input.

Not sure about torque.

Just make the keywords stand out with size, caps, and/or color. Add some filler around it, doesn't even have to be readable (Like many games do textures for newspapers, with the headlines and pictures visible and the text just scribbles).

>>168826637

Software rasterizer. Trying load STLs exported from Blender; it works but only if I reverse every single vertex coord. I don't need to do that for hardcoded test objects and if I reverse the Z direction in Blender's exporter, nothing gets rendered (probably because the triangle direction is now wrong, not sure).

It doesn't help that Blender insists on a retarded z-up convention. Time to pirate modo I think.

Is there a good guide for Unity3D development (mostly focused on programming) that isn't written for a 2 year old? I know how to program and I just want to know how scripts are attached, how game mode is executed, how my workflow and development pipeline will look like, et cetera.

What I get when I search though is some 20 part video series explaining what a variable is and how to pass arguments in functions. I don't need that shit. I need to know how the engine works.

Melee, Archery, Protection, *
Fire, Frost, Lightning
Alchemy, Light, Shadow, Arcane

*I don't really have a name for this tree right now. It's mostly animal summoning and shapeshifting. Current contenders are Animalism and Instinct.

Arcane is the meta magic tree. Five star points for five magic types.

Did a google for agdg pewdiepie gamejam gogem and found it

>>168828582
I often have this kind of problem. Usually I have success by googling "<Thing> for <similar thing you already know> users/programmers". i.e. "Swift for C++ programmers", "3ds max for maya users". There are often videos and articles with names like that.

>>168826817
There are existing solutions out there you know
It's just a matter of integrating it

>>168828723
Oh damn, that's actually pretty cool. I really like how it's all text and pictures and not a video of some aspie opening up visual studio. Thank you! I need more stuff like this.

>>168828442
he's referring to a big gamejolt weekend gamejam i participated in that was "sponsored" or whatever by pewdiepie. the theme/goal was to make a game specifically for let's players. i made the original social interaction trainer for that.

but i participated in the game jam AGDG just had a few months ago.... lewd jam? i was actually interested because theres an inherent and interesting goal in making something arousing.... i didnt finish though because i only gave myself under 2 weeks (because i was busy working on other stuff, not gonna spend a month on a jam) and my scope was larger than the time i gave myself. rookie mistake.

how would you design an extremely flexible attack system where any actor/gameobject could (potentially) use any attack on any actor/gameobject? Interfaces?

Most devs if they have a completely unfinished """game""" like that will just not enter it and try again next time. There's no shame in that. There is however a lot of shame in putting out a """game""" like this out and then telling people it's bad because it's "unfinished". How was it going to be as a finished product? It would still be yet another gogem menu simulator.

Video Shame.

The best part is he claims he made social interaction memer in 2 days for the pewdiepie jam. Something doesn't add up.

>>168832682
actually it was under 3 days, the jam was 2 weeks.

is there a way in Unity to have functions like OnTriggerEnter and OnTriggerExit, that only get called once, but without using a character controller or rigidbody?

Like maybe using physics.overlapsphere somehow ???

>>168832682
You have to understand that googum is making original games, not making a clones, so he has to spend time figuring out what he will do, and the best way to do it. That said it's his fault for not starting at the proper time for the jam because it was "too long".

Units must now be built close to each other.

Turrets now need energy to function, they will search for the nearest generator or storage for the required resource.

Plus a bunch of background stuff and other minor things I don't remember.


Resources are transferred instantly right now, next I will make it so that transfers create resource packets that move along the transmission paths.
I also need to expand the death state, right now it doesn't remove the dead unit from the transmission path and resource list.

>>168834624
He will just run them after one another then. I know that it is "better" to separate tasks as much as possible, but if it's only for a one time use, you might as well just put those things together. Besides, if he's the only guy on it, then I think it's his job to decide what code structure is readable for him in the long run and what is not.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but I know I like it.

If you want to do your checks less often you can put your functions into Coroutines and have them check every second or half second or whatever, your choice.

If you only want something to fire once you can use a boolean or two and then toggle the bool within the function you were waiting to call.

I know that's a vague answer but without knowing your specific case of object interactions it's challenging to offer better assistance.

>>168829160
>i didnt finish though because i only gave myself under 2 weeks (because i was busy working on other stuff, not gonna spend a month on a jam)
Bitch I've entered 3 gamejams and finished them all in 2 days. You're weak.

anyone here wants to use real AI techniques to their games, like neural networks, genetic algorithms and such?

>>168835617
ayy that partially solves it, but still makes no sense because technically no signal is supposed to be sent unless one or both of the colliding objects has a rigidbody. it says that in the official documentation, which is weird.

maybe if I fuck around with triggers enough I can find a way to better collision detect the player controller without having to add a rigidbody to that

regardless thanks for the help

>>168836171
I'm working with neural networks right now (not on my game), and I like them a lot, but can't find a good way to get them in a game, design-wise

>>168836171
I bet the highest form of ai you'll find here is a* pathfinding. when you go for neural networks or genetic algorithms you end up making a "game" as an excuse to find an application of the algorithm in question. It's generally too complex of a tool for anything shy of realistic simulations.

>>168836065
see >>168832958

>>168836328
just bite the bullet and add a single rigidbody to the player character. set it to kinematic so it's just moved with the character controller.

Speaking of dead Jam games, which one do you miss the most?
I remember there was one guy making a vertical shmup with 2.5D graphics in GM for Space Jam, looked super juiced but he disappeared.
Also, can't remember if it was for the same Jam, but there was another guy making a top down arena space shooter that was incredibly juicy. Anyone remember that one?

>>168836370
>>168836439
how bout realistic NPC social behaviours?

Unity question: I have 2 objects on the same z level(both at transform z of 1), but in the scene view, they are on different z levels, it has almost 10 units in difference. Does anyone knows why?

>>168836752
Check the pivot point.

>>168836716
Again, there's no easy way to shove that in game, from a design standpoint, that makes the effort worth it over having a simple ruleset for social interaction
(I'm only talking about neural networks, don't know a lot about other AI implementations)

>>168835617
Not the anon you are helping but I that didn't work for me until I added a rigidbody to the object entering the other collider.

I put this on a default unity sphere,

float speed = 5f;
void Update () {
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.G))
{
transform.Translate(Vector3.down * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
print("I have Entered the collider of " + other.gameObject.name);
}

And placed it 6 units directly above a default Unity Cube with the box collider on it scaled up by 3 in each axis.

Every combination of IsTrigger, both on/ off, one on on off, and vice versa failed to output to the console. I only got it to work by adding a kinematic Rigidbody to the sphere.

>>168836557
Maybe it wasn't a jam game, but there was a prototype where you could laser off parts of space ships in any shape you wanted. That was cool.

For waifu jam there was Placeholder-chan. I always wanted to see what that game tried to be.

But the list of games I miss is just too long to post, to be honest.

>>168836171
>>168836716
probably wouldnt work for anything like that.
dumb games need dumb AI.
you'd have to make a whole new kinda game to fit in something that was actually smart deep AI.

>>168836716
if you were going to take advantage of the insanely complex npc relationships that would arise from that, you would need an equivalentely insane amount of content created. Or you would settle with self-generated interactions, wich are always subpar and not fun.

>>168836171
Those sorts of things are almost never necessary for video games. Unless you're making come complex simulator game or something.

In a lot of cases simple AI will act smart enough that the player wont notice if it's dumb or super intelligent.

C# question:

Let's say I had ClassA with 10 variables.
In ClassA I have a single method which send variables to ClassB to call various methods in ClassB by reflection.
What if I want to send different variabled to ClassB each time, e.g. only variables 1,3,4 and 6? Or only variable 7?

I'm thinking of using params, but I'm not quite sure how to set it up in ClassA so that it can dynamically only send the arguments that I want it to send.

>>168839429
You could pass a list of strings that are the variable names?

>>168839363

I knew I'd get this response before I even typed it out. He's using reflection.

>>168839759
so I'd have to pass all the properties no matter what, even if most of them aren't getting used?

what if I only passed the properties from ClassA that weren't null?

Finished the green bomb usable, but for gameplay sucks.
This bomb is supportive, clean all enemy/ally screen bullets and spawn an small explosion for each bullet killed, which damages enemies for 5.0 * bullet killed attack.
Sounds good, but the damage is awful without abusing zawarudo as you can see in the webm.

there are some minor typos in the naming, ignore that because I left out a lot of the real code to only show what's important and forgot to change "GameCommands" to "EventCommands" in the paste for example

Fixed it. I managed to fuck up my rotation matrix of all things. One fewer extra minus sign later...

>>168840386
Oh, yikes, I wouldn't use reflection in that way. I would look into interfaces to accomplish what you what.

Your own engine? Is this OpenGL?

I'm a bit sick so I'm not paying much attention, but are you trying to reinvent the command pattern?

anyone know how to make these floating damage numbers smaller over time, after they spawn when i damage the enemy in ue4. cant find shit related to that problem on the forums or anywhere.

>>168840861
>Your own engine?
Yes, I'm writing it so I can do a game with PS1-ish looks.
>Is this OpenGL?
Nope, no OpenGL or other APIs. It's a software rasterizer.

>>168840716
damn, why is it bad if you don't mind explaining? I'm not the best coder and want to learn from my mistakes

>>168840913
from a glance I can't tell how that's applicable to my situation but I might be retarded so

>>168841049
Real neat. Is it written in C, C++ or something different?

>>168841049
You can make a PS1 looking game in any engine with 3D.

>>168841049
Why thought? Wouldn't it be better to have more CPU time to use on the actual game?

you can compensate lack of gimmick with polish and art. if you have no art and no polish you need a gimmick. but this game clearly has both art and polish so a gimmick is only optional.

This is from Slime Rancher, it's pretty cool.

>>168841478
I was just wondering if I should care about the game or not.

>>168841135
Thanks anon. It's C++.
>>168841168
You can get close but I want to be able to consistently emulate a few weird things the PSX's GTE did. Also, it's a fun project and is helping me to learn about 3D graphics pipelines in general.

>>168841240
I'm not wanting for CPU power. It's targeted at PCs only and it's not as if my PS1-style game is going to have intense realistic physics or anything.

Also, it gives me a good excuse to keep poly and texture counts down.

Making the Silent Hill PT Scene. Will post it in a month.

My plan is to become really good at substance designer and modular environments. Hopefully I can get a job in 1.5 years or be good enough to make money of making a horror game like FNAF.

>>168841478
Or you could do all three and go from a game that is decent but nobody bothers with, to something that sells well.

>>168838954
>no reply
lol

>>168841687
ok, thx

>>168841168
not really.

lmao retards who don't know knothing.

psx rellies on imperfect floating shit.
not real engine uses that ancient method.

>>168841856
I made a shader in less than a minute that rounds the vertex positions of the model, simulating the exact way graphics worked on PS1.

>>168840032
I don't see too much of an issue with it the way it is. It gives it two layers of use. Defensive which is just to clear the screen if you need to (damage not taken into account, you just want to survive) and Offensive if you have the gauge necessary to support the all out attack. Let's player's have more flexibility and strategy in how they approach things.

Question here.
I'm new into game deving and heard that good projects to make to get into it are Pong, Pacman and Tetris clones.
I'm a programmer but should I follow some tutorials or guides to make them or should I really start from scratch without any help ?
Because to be honest, I have no idea how to make any of these from scratch in terms of logic and methodology.

it's ok, he's asking the important questions. we're trying to make something good and since I'm very art focused I need to be reminded often that it needs to be a fun ~game~

>>168841856
that effect is easily simulated in any engine with a simple shader. yes including unity and UE4

>>168841657
So you're doing it just so you have a excuse?

>>168842025
enjoy your 100 MB pong UE4 game.

Good thing it's 2017 and not 1995 anymore.

>>168842215
thank you, I actually wrote it as a joke song for aggy a long while ago. a guy posted a clyp of his first song and I remixed it

>>168841112
It's slow and error prone. Reflection is not really meant for this. You're depending on variable names to be correct which is no better than magic strings, and you aren't getting a lot of compile-time benifits to error checking. You could accomplish this using reflection, but I think you would only give yourself more of a headache. If it's worth anything, it's not really the "C# way". Reflection is a great tool, but in my opinion this is not the way to go for this case.
An interface ICommand with the single method Run/Execute/(whatever you name it) would make a lot more sense in this context, that way you could have ShowTextCommand : ICommand or GiveGoldCommand : ICommand, each of which could override the .Run method.

>>168841520
Looks neat. I guess that effect is on digital screen displays?

>>168842316
It's 2017 we should code better than 20 years ago, not worse

>>168842314
nice to see another fgg fellow here.

wanna make a fighting game togheter?

>>168842489
Oh, shitposter. Good code has nothing to do with application size unless a small application size is a stated goal of a project.

>>168842340
I've never done anything like that before, I'll have to look into it and read some tutorials or articles. this system might take longer than I thought

thanks for the tips mate

Yes, it's pretty cool, I think the demo is free for anyone to download.

>>168841520
cool idea. thanks for the info

>>168841856
You get the idea, anon- I have control over all the datatypes involved this way. I'm cheating by using a zbuffer but I'm giving it crappy precision.

>>168842025
>>168842118
I don't really want to generate clean graphics and then spend time tweaking shaders to shittify them... I want to generate authentically shitty graphics to start with, while being able to do some potential interesting things in the rasterizer that would be tricky in a shader.

>>168842169
I'm not too stressed about code size desu but it's a nice side benefit. My binary is 56KiB including the monkey model. (It does dylink to SDL2 for output though.)

>>168842148
It's a couple reasons which I covered above... I wouldn't have gone with this for a commercial project but it's really fun to play with.

>>168842637
Good code is code that doesn't waste resources, space being one of them

Today I finished a pretty big and important subsystem for Dixie, and one that was frankly cause for serious concern (since it's one of the only parts of Dixie I didn't have to learn in the course of doing Mayhem League): NPC interaction

Generic NPC class created, derived from the interactable object class. You can specify 4 animations (idle when not talking, transition to talking, idle while talking, transition out of talking) and there's a whole array system for doing-two-bubble conversational dialogue.

The system is in place for handling portraits next to the speech bubbles, too, I just don't have any portraits drawn/rendered yet.

Derived from THIS is the Subcommander Fiste class. This is a special NPC that has a Flag asset in the world (to make it identifiable from a distance as interactable, since unlike other NPCs Fiste doesn't stand around; it would be weird as he's in multiple places in many levels) and with a move which you can specify to teach to Dixie at the end of the interaction.

Placing these guys is literally as easy as copying them, changing the checkbox on the move, and rewriting the dialogue, though at the moment it seems fun to do unique entry and exit animations for Fiste depending on where he is in the level (maybe later that will prove too tedious).

What this means is, I now have the "learn new moves in the level" mechanics fully implemented! That's actually a really big step design-wise for me.
