I see what you mean. I would model with that in mind. Big polygons with single colors. No small details.

Is low poly better with low res pixel textures or higher res clean flat textures?

GM Moron here,

Anyone know why the second script would be copying the same screen as the first script?

Does application_surface not update view coordinates until the end of events or something?

Basically what you said. Redrawing the application surface only happens once per frame, during the Draw events.

>>169940829
Expanding on this, if you're essentially trying to copy different viewports to surfaces, you might have more luck with view_surface_id? I don't use this function, but I think it may accomplish what you're wanting

https://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/002_reference/windows%20and%20views/views/view_surface_id.html

>>169940829
Oh my fuck I didn't realize there was a larger application_surface reference than the global variable.

Alright, well shit, guess I'll have to work around this.

>>169939705
is this from yandere sim? does yanderedev really not know what bitflags are? Or even enums?

are the any unityfags doing pixel art textures?
Is there any way to make the textures retain their hard edges (point filter on the texture) rather than blurring when it's blown up, but also still have antialias applied to the edges so it's not a rough pixel edge?

>casually mention to my friend that I'd like to take part in a local game jam a year from now, and I'll work on getting small games done by that time
>"But anon, you forget that you're not a Dev, you haven't released a game since I know you, you told me you'll try to make small games already"

Fucking hell. He haven't created a single game related thing. I'm fully aware how dropping projects and blowing the scope up are my flaws, but he acts like I should drop gamedev altogether. He can't understand I like making games even if I don't finish them. I despise mentioning gamedev to him, he's always smug and points out how much of a failure I am.


So.. any tips of working within a small scope? How to make small games quickly? How to guarantee I'll stay in it to the finish and not jump ship ?

>>169941047
yes to all

Some people try to deflect by pointing out that it's decompiled code which might excuse the use of 'this.' but decompiling doesn't magically create chained ifelse statements and strcmps

>>169941238
Here's an even better deflection: He has a game and you're hatejerking over his code.

>>169941047
No, he does not. He's even said himself he doesn't know how to code. All of that is from javascript which is then compiled to C# and then run in-engine. Also, it's just a giant Update() function. Which even Mike Z told him not to do but he does it anyway because he's a dumb fuck.

>>169940991
>>169940829

I'm trying to create a zelda/megaman style screenscrolling effect when you enter a new room/reach the edge of the screen, etc.

I'm actually just messing with surfaces for the first time so this is new to me.

>>169941093
Don't have a ton of experience with pixel art in Unity, but the best solution to that would probably be to use larger art assets and apply the effect you want to the texture itself, rather than trying to do it from within Unity.

If you really want to do it in-engine, then maybe it would be achievable with mipmaps? That's a wild guess on my part

>>169941281
>"Don't criticize people, y-you insecure nodev!"

Man, the bait got no (you)s for a while, I thought we were safe.

Now the thread is done.

>>169941578
good fucking job making another post about it you piece of human garbage

CYBERPUNK JAM WHEN

>>169941093
>>169941503
On second thought, maybe there's a shader you could use to use one of those smoothing algorithms emulators sometimes use -- 2xsai, etc. I think those might give you the effect you want, which seems to be a smoothing of hard pixel edges, without adding the blurring caused by bilinear filtering.

DEMO JAM WHEN
it's where you make a game about demo

>>169941503
That's my guess too, and it's what I'm doing at the moment

It's just really weird having antialiased polygon edges while the mesh textures have zero aliasing, and turning off aliasing altogether doesn't seem like the right thing to do

>>169941685
perhaps this might be worth looking into, shaders are the one main area of gamedev I've never touched before though

>>169941594
That's neat. Who are you again? Nobody?
Oh.

Is there a better feel?

>>169941947

Cumming inside the woman you love.

>>169941489
Yeah that's what I figured from reading your code. Surfaces are super handy, but also super volatile. Make sure that you have code to be sure that surfaces exist before you try to use them. You can do this per-use or one blanket code at the beginning of each step that checks to be sure all of the surfaces exist. If a player alt-tabs or switches to/from fullscreen (or if the GPU hates you in particular) the surfaces will get cleared from the video memory and have to be re-created, otherwise the game with crash.

view_surface_id basically assigns a view to a surface, so that view draws to the surface you specified, rather than the application surface, and since you can draw to surfaces from outside the Draw Event, this might help you out.

Exactly right. Even if you did have a game and even if you showed it and said who you are nobody would know or care. Yanderedev's old code which is about to be rewritten by a professional team and forgotten forever anyway while he makes millions of dollars is the last thing you should be concerned with.

You also shouldn't be concerned with "anime fetish" fags being "taken advantage of". Unless you're some kind of faggot SJW.

>>169941790
>shaders are the one main area of gamedev I've never touched before though
Just go for it, you can do all kinds of cool shit with shaders.

>>169941931
Love it.

Likelihood of it happening is slim to none but make it so if you let the thrusters get to mid screen before you blow them up they fire off covering that entire section of the screen and insta killing you (of course I don't know how your lives/continues system works so doing this might actually catch the player in a ridiculous situation they cannot recover from. Just throwing that out there regardless).

Kek. I love the idea, but that'd be kind of a dick move. If I was going to do alternate routes, I'd have it so if you didn't destroy the thursters in time the ship would fly off and you'd have to fight more enemies in space before another chance or an alternate entrance.

>>169942702
It'll probably get one later. The art for the inside of the ship needs to be finished first though.

>>169943535
possibly generating the dictionary procedurally if you keep every door in the scene under one parent object (so they're all grouped in the same game object and you can easily iterate through them to generate the dictionary)

>>169943572
How is the physics of the movement done?

So the legs are connected at the knee via a hinge, and there's the weight of the body trying to bend them, but you have a force trying to straighten the legs.

How do you make the character walk? Just a series of forces / angular momentum applied to each joint?

He could easily turn that into good art by just swapping the meshes out with different meshes though. If he needs the assets for it, it probably wouldn't cost him a whole bunch - the artist wouldn't even need to rig.

41KB, 549x289px

I want to simulate real plane aerodynamics in a game world.

The plane can be completely customised, basically made of blocks kind of like minecraft, so having predetermined behaviour wouldn't work.

The only thing I can think of is to have the plane in a box of particles that it can fly through to simulate the air. The box moves with the plane, constantly being re positioned as the plane moves.

Could this be simpler / more efficient?

>>169946570
No.

>>169946570
It does not.
The variable int x will be given a location on the RAM with a hexadecimal value to locate it. Eg. CD6889
If you renamed this variable to personWithTheBigHatAndGlassesPositionInTheGameWorldx, it would still have the same hexadecimal value.

Use a naming convention that allows the code to be read easily. The game performance will not be effected.
Keep it as 1-3 words, 4 at a push.

>>169946570
>game size
technically yes (I think) but it's extremely miniscule

>performance
I don't think so

>>169946981
this seems wrong but I don't have the physics knowledge to be sure. seems to me that you should be able to approximate it well enough by calculating the general effect of air resistance/etc. on the wings rather than simulating all of the particles individually

>>169946570
Technically: each char you type costs space to store so it does inflate game size. This only matters to you if you're worrying about the footprint of singular chars though which nearly nobody is.

The compiler does have to read each char before it attempts to locate the instruction/variable/etc you've labeled - but it does so with ridiculous speed. So, again, technically yes. Realistically nobody should care.

Compiled to machine code without debug symbols, no, the names don't make a difference.

"Compiled" to bytecode for a VM/JIT, most languages will retain a lot of the naming information and theoretically this can affect the runtime performance, if only because larger memory reads take more time.

The essence of all loli fetishists is child harm. Look at loli rape sim dev and how many of the loli fags here fully support him making a game about raping children.

It's all about child harm. That is the primary theme and why loli will never be an accepted theme even on 4chan. You literally have to shill and fake polls and try to force it. How many things does 4chan actively resist like that?

Everything about loli posting is detestable. This is why moot banned them 10 fucking years ago.

I'm not totally sure, it would be NDA anyway, but if that's the price that would be awesome. Right now its a problem of availability, they're only dishing machines out to established devs

>>169952795
One thing that's gotten me hype for the Switch is that every single comment I found from other devs regarding porting their stuff to the Switch mentions how easy it is.

>>169953090
Both cheaper than other home console dev kits and doubles as a regular console.

Separated the animations instead of showing them all at the same time, it's actually kinda neat how it's done, no matter how many things there are the overall animation will always take the same amount of time, and clicking can skill all of it.

Oh I know the model itself is simple, like with most low poly stuff though, it's the texture that makes it look good. That's the part that worries me about trying stuff like that, little 2D experience.

So what do you guys think of Xbox Live Creators Program announcement?

>>169953248
I tried it again with the ball direction reversed so it heads towards the paddles, it actually registered a collision with the left one but it was registered well in front of the actual paddle. Again, probably some kind of coordinate fuckery going on here.

>>169953990
Sounds good if you already have a system, I wonder if that is enough to actually put a game up for sale. Or do you still need a dev kit to qualify or something??

>>169954146
No, all you have to do is pay MS for a developer's account and publish the game to Xbox store, just like on Google Play. You can use a retail Xbox to test your game, and then just publish it to the store, no NDAs, negotiations, or dev kits required. The downside is no multiplayer, no achievements, and it has to be a UWP app. Also, there will be a separate section in the store for such games, so indie games will be separate from AAA titles.

then come the replies to the replies, if any, which usually smell like shitposting

No songs yet, I'm going to make it possible first to parse Stepmania maps and play them (without music). Adding music and music-based timing shouldn't be too hard since I have done a proof of concept of that before, there's just no point in adding it until there is something to match the music up with. I don't have or make music I could use for the game so I will make it possible to create your own maps, including import from existing formats.

That sure is a tryhard attempt at dismissing hard work and experience.

Making a number of games is the only way to gain experience. If you want your dream game to be your first game you're just being impatient and setting yourself up to fail and even if by some miracle you do finish the game will be shit. You're better off making your dream game after reaching a certain threshold of skill and reputation.

>>169963786
Except if you do small games which feature aspects of the larger game you want to make, it WILL take less time to make the game you want to make because you'll already have learned how to do each aspect individually from practice

I don't know, anon. In some ways, you guys are right, in some, you are not.

You can not just sit down saying, damn, I'll draw the Sistine Chapel because I feel like that's my artistic destiny, even though I haven't hold a pencil in my life. It doesn't work that way. With a small scoped yet fully finished game, you should learn: basic game loop, menu, settings, controls, camera etc. So on your next project, you already have this knowledge or tools, and you can expand them. Not to mention that if you commit yourself to a project so big that you'll only get results 2-3 years later, you are more likely to get demotivated in the process. However if you shit out something every 2-3 months, then it can give you the feeling of achievement and progression, which is good.

However I give you that that game dev is not like other art forms or creative hobbies. Game dev is software development. A project. You don't go to your workplace, saying, today I'm gonna do this small project so I can be prepared for a big one years later. No. The client wants something to be made, so you work your ass off until it's done. So if you have a project plan, a design document etc., you should be able to deliver the product if you have the skills to manufacture it.

if somebody wants to make a RTS game, making Pong or Snake first isn't going help them one damn bit. Learning how to set up a camera in an engine for pong isn't any different than learning how to do it the very first time for the game you actually want to make.

finishing something doesn't magically level you up. you learn by doing, and you might as well be doing something you want to do.

Nice shitpost.

>>169963786
usually the game you want to make has huge scope because the whole idea is "this game i like + something"
1)you will get demotivated by how far is your goal and how tiny is your progress i(complete the game)
2)team members will lose more and more interest in the game as the time pass by
3)you will find new obstacles you never faced before(no prior experience with engine for example) and slow things even more(go back to point 1)

basically you can argue jam/small games are useless because you have no interest in them well the secret is pick 3 different genres you like but with small scope so if you ever make it you already know what to develop after so you dont lose interest in devving

You can't work 'professionally' if you have no experience.

Yes it's terrible.
The worst part is when I spend time imagining that I'm successful and then I get sucked into this world I created myself while I'm not even finished reading the opengl tutorial.

You've already posted that, it's still good.

What does this have to do with you and your delusions of making your dream game without any experience? Yandere Simulator is not Yandere Dev's first game.

>>169966282
Could you support that statement with some proof?

>>169966145
literally me, except recently (the last week or so) i've actually been working on my game

having a routine, even if it's just drink a beer and smoke a bowl at a certain time, seems to do wonders

Not gonna convince either of you, but for anyone walking past this conversation:

The value in doing small games is two things:
1. To FINISH something, including all the little things that you don't really think about when starting a project: menus, settings, publishing.

2. If you're new to gamedev, it also teaches you about all the things that can go wrong in making a game. You COULD learn all that while making a big game too. But here's the thing: over the course of your big game's development, you'll end up rewriting your systems anyway, since you'll discover new and better ways to code during that time. Why not actually RELEASE games while you're learning?

3. It also gets your name out there. Getting a following is exponential growth, but you have to actually be doing things to get people's attention.

No need to make a ahitty puzzle game you're not into. But if your dream game is a big genre thing (RTS, RPG, ETC) think about making small scope games that explore one aspect of your genre, instead of fullsize games.

I would like to do 3D, but I'm shit at drawing, so I would go with something which does not rely too much on textures. Which is the better option: cel shading or meme low poly?

If you know nothing about YandereDev why are you speaking about him?

He had to make games while in school as part of his game design class, and he famously presented a fighting game to the skullgirls dev who shit on it, he has done other projects besides yandere simulator.

Nodev shitpost.

Yesterday night I said, after deving for an hour or two and going to bed. That tomorrow I'd dev for longer and make steady progress. Hours slipped away and all I did was play, living life frivolously, attending to my friends and family, and the immediate tempers of the day. Yet it's night again, and I'm alone looking at another wasted day, wasted hours before sleep, watching kitchen nightmares UK, watching people go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt in order to run a restaurant. I'm sitting here watching a show, staring at my table in the dark, and its painful.

Guy from NHK actually makes progress though.

>>169967373
I see, thank you for the explanation!

Knowing nothing about him is an overstatement, but I give you that that I've only watched his recent videos and those along with some posts from this general have given me the impression that he's a first timer.

We should do a jam where we use ripped N64 assets.

Ripoff jam - you're ONLY allowed to use assets (models, textures, sprites, audio) from other games

So now I am slowly getting curve interpellator to be made.

I want to use it so I can define an envelope by a series of x,y points, and it will generate a fitting curve, and then I can use that to tween animations like fades and transitions for the compositor screen switcher.

It is not using catmull-rom but actually a series of bezier curves that are just chained together
>>169968284
yeah

>>169968284
Aren't Realm of the Mad God sprites CC0? We could have jam using only those.

Now this is a good idea! This could lead to an actual game jam and not art moving on the screen jam.

Where's your 3D game?

>>169969296
I like the center piece but I'm having real trouble with the buildings surrounding it. Might give it another shot tomorrow and try to plan the whole scene out first.

>>169968962
We should have had a witch jam.

saggy tits with or without nipples?

>>169967694
I wish I could texture. It's a much better skill than modelling.
