Ever since I figured out every feature (listed and unlisted) in Sai 2's beta, I can't imagine settling for photoshop or clip studio.

I'll have something for the next one though!

Got the walking animation in. My only concern is that it kinda glides rather than looking like it has good footing. I'll try to bob it up and down more when it switches it's footing maybe.

>>169461153
Thats uh, a lot of targets at the end

>>169461445
this is a matter of syncing the movement speed to the animation speed. you may also have a problem, where your animation suggests that the turtle moves at an uneven pace (more forward motion with each footfall compared to the passing step), while you move the turtle at a constant pace in code.

>>169461153
This looks really nice, good job anon. How big is the playable area, comparatively?

>>169461395
That sucks, hopefully everything is okay on your end.
Stay safe anon, DD14 is all u bb

>>169461395
I like your project actually. It is similar to the last prototype I was working on before I put it on hold to pursue what I am doing now.

Demo Day 13 build looks like it might actually happen. Maybe. I am hoping for the best at the very least. I hope everything works out for you and you get to have the time to dev again!

The playable area is around 100km x 100km on a 200km x 200km landscape for visibility reasons.

Most of the map is just dead space for level design reasons but it's nice to have flexibility and all the open space for other reasons.

I've still yet to add manmade stuff which is going to be one of the most time consuming stuff for the landscape.

Is that really the best way to go, /agdg/? How long does it take to learn C++ to the point where you can make something that functions?

>well it takes 10 years to become a master at any-

No no no, Im not asking about that. I mean how long until one has enough of a grasp of it to make *a game that runs*

unrelated side question: why isnt there a 3D equivalent of gamemaker? With all the little kids who want to make zombie games/ slenderman games/ COD knockoffs youd think that would sell like hotcakes.

Honestly this looks fucking good, I love it. Nearly jizzed my pants when you flew through that explosion.

>>169461445
Yup, the bobbing up and down is definitely what's missing. It also looks a bit like it just scrapes the floor instead of actually walking on it. Maybe you could try sticking the feet to the floor for a few keyframes.


Pic related, it worked perfectly with the previous patrick, now it fucks up. Probably has to do with me changing the number of frame for the animation. Not sure why it would cause a fuckup, but it seems it does. Time for another FBX export I guess.

Fur sells typically because it is paired with lewd. I don't think he had any plans to lewd his characters or his game. In fact I think he was asked specifically about it and he denied his desire to do so (during the last demo day I think?)

How do games like TES and RuneScape handle armour modelling?

For instance if there is helmet slot, torso slot, and leg slot, is there simply a naked head/torso/leg model which gets swapped out with another model representing the armoured head/torso/legs when the player has one of those armours equipped?

File: armor destruction.webm (588KB, 546x361px) Image search: [Google]

588KB, 546x361px

I'm not sure if I should make the armor something that is quick to replenish (like enemies drop armor when killed) or something that you need to get from respawn points and other specific locations. Since its bulky it is difficult to protect it but if it were an item or something you could choose when to deploy it.

>>169460276
That is the most stupid "solution" I have read.

>>169478489
replensihed each time you get to a respawn point, like an estus flask perhaps?

>enemies drop armor when killed
if you want a fast-paced game, then this is the better way to go about it, it'll make players think about risking getting out of their safe zone to quickly grab a shield

>>169478489
All comes down to what kind of game it is.

Is it prebuilt levels with a set of objectives and rooms to complete?

Is it randomly generated?

Is death punishable? Is the game difficult? Do you have to restart from far back?

These are all things to consider when giving the player an extra hit.

You can go the "doom approach" where the player gets outfitted with a shitload of gear BECAUSE hes about to be thrown into the meat grinder, or you can have it around checkpoints, which works kinda as a buffer for a player sucking, such as limited Estus Flasks in Dark Souls.

Third is to go Halo and have it regen on enemy death/over time and that encourages a fast gameplay loop that feeds back into itself, promoting going fast and being rewarded/replenished for it.

Game design is hard.

I decided to redo my dungeon tileset in a more realistic style with shiny normal maps. Starting to move away from the cartoony hand-painted assets because they're slow as fuck to produce.

This new style does look a lot more generic though. It also bugs me that I'm using torches to light the dungeons (who keeps them lit? The skeletons?) but it just looks really good having a dungeon lit with torches. Can't argue with what looks best.

I'm trying to do things right from the beginning and have a nice, organized project so I don't end up with a mess and have to redo literally everything later to try and fix it.

>>169485406
Thanks. I've just had bad experiences in the past where I was working on a project, it got big, every individual component was something I could handle, but I didn't make it organized or extensible and it just became a nightmare to work on.

How hard would it be to translate a finished java game to unity?

>>169485260
What exactly are you talking about? I know there's a visual glitch right now causing issues when the camera is moved, and I'm not sure how to fix it...

But if you're talking about tiles not tiling seamlessly, these are placeholder.

>>169485505
You'd probably need to do some work to make it fit the MonoBehaviour model but converting your code from Java to C# wouldn't be that big of a deal.

>>169485564
<- this
the problem here is that opengl uses floating point numbers for texture coordinates, and sometimes rounds to the wrong texture

The answer here is to add 1 pixel padding to the side of each tile that looks like the opposite side, so when the texture coordinates fuck up you still get good tiling

>>169485564
He's talking about the visual glitch around the 3 and 9 second marks.

House Cleaner --[PROGRESS]--

Added a lot of small things to make the shooting feel better
-Enemies flash
-more blood
-Screen flashes on hit
-Bullet screenshake
-Different effects on walls, floors etc
-Camera scrolls with the cursor instead of being set on the player
-Chance for crit damage.

Changed how the slowmotion works
-Instead of it automatically getting triggered when you shoot enemis, you turn it on manually
-A big effect blasts through the arena to show it
-Background turns into a disco
-You can keep it going by shooting enemies but since the gain is small it forces you to go in, shoot and then have a exit plan in mind.

Next up is better sound effects, a music track and a shotgun enemy. Also thinking of making that the enemies have a chance to shoot different (harder) bullet patterns when you are in slow motion.

Most items will have like 5 bonus effects tops; and will probably either have effects on physical or spell ratings, not both. I'm just doing it this way so I can test. Also I haven't decided if I want items to add only to Attributes (strength, vitality, etc) or to things like meele power, health, etc.
What I've mostly been focusing on is getting events in order so I can actually use the items.
I do UI work when I get tired of the nitty-gritty back-end deving.

For anyone interested, pic related is my rudimentary item editor window.
Changes are effective immediately because each item of the same type references the same readonly dataobject (the dataobject reference isn't changed, but the fields within it could be); I don't even have to exit play mode.

how does /agdg/ deal with depression and mood swings

>>169489009
Because I want to play it at Demo Day, so I don't want to forget the name!

>>169489196
definitely not through seeking help in places that aren't meant for it at all

>>169489021
>Would you believe
Yes. I am using OpenGL and reading from the center solved all the bleeding problems. Tried Unity, didn't even get to a problem like this before getting tired of jumping through scaling and screensize problem hoops.

Forgot pic. Look at this. They're going blue. There isn't a single tile I'm using that has that much blue. I don't even.

Should I dev today?

I inject 30mg of anime

What's a good way to upload music temporarily so you can tell me it's all wrong in a constructive fashion?

>>169489196
Ignore it and dev. Escapism only makes it worse.

>>169489264
if you play all the demos, you will play mine as well!

>>169489426
vacaroo I guess?

Why did rotatedev become a girl?

>>169489426
clyp.it is the best

>>169489426
Vocaroo is shit for music, use clyp.it

>>169489292
Reading from the center... I honestly have not idea how to go about that. I've tried offsetting my assets by 0.5. No difference.

>>169489283
what do you mean? being indiedev is similar to being an artist and every artist faces depression and blockades every now and then

I really love the polish on this game, though lack of any animations on the player's body is a bit jarring compared to constant animation of everything else.
>>169461445
Maybe use a different movement speed, make him accelerate for a fraction of a second before walking at full speed?
>>169487113
Maybe wait for a bit more than 20 minutes for feedback you impatient knob.
>>169485968
I like how juicy it feels, though the firerate looks a bit slow for anything player shoots.
Also, obviously the UI needs work.

What kind of music would fit a game with pacing like this, /agdg/ ?
I need some keyword or something to look for or something, since i have no progress in audio department.
Also what do you think about the map design and generally how it all looks?

>>169489471
Because he turned 360 degrees and walked away?

>>169489542
Thanks! I'll try clyp.it then.

>>169489461
I want to play yours first! What's it called?

>>169489557
what do you mean? being indiedev is similar to being an artist and every artist faces love issues every now and then
what do you mean? being indiedev is similar to being an artist and every artist becomes constipated every now and then
what do you mean? being indiedev is similar to being an artist and every artist suffers alcohol poisoning every now and then

>>169489670
there's a chance you will play mine first! let it be a surprise.

>>169461090
the M is hard to read. Too big, I read Grnota and had to re read twice to see what it actually was.

>>169489563
Looks like the early metal gear, but I can't find any real descriptive for the music.
Also the perspective between the people and the walls don't match and it's kinda jarring.

w-will you anons play my game?
it's my first demo day...

>>169489868
At least tell me when are you going to stop being such a nodev faggot and make a game goddammit

>>169489917
It was instantly legible as an M to me. Looks nothing like an R.

>>169489921
See, that's the first thing i thought of too, but i cant just copypaste MGS music, nor can i just google "Music that sounds like MGS!"

>>169489952
I know, it's "inspired" by metal gear.
And i know the issue with perspective, but i had the choice of making it flat 2D or making character sprites tilted, which would make them look horrible.

>>169489549
I don't know how you would achieve that in Unity without shaders. Here's some glsl:

>vec2 bleedBlocker = 1/(2*uSpriteSheetWH);
>vTexCoords = aTextCoords + bleedBlocker + (aSheetPos - bleedBlocker)*aVertPos

I left out some window-sheet conversion lines, but the idea is that if you have a 4x4 sprite at {1,1} you read the texture from {1.5,1.5} to {4.5,4.5} instead of {1,1} to {5,5}.
