Partial keyboard support & rebind in. You can modify the numbers on the numpad, all of the letters, the arrow keys and Esc/Tab/Shift/Ctrl.

I have not included the number row, the F keys or symbols/punctuation keys for the moment but this is just for demo day functionality. If anyone feels strongly enough about any of those aforementioned excluded groups let me know and I will see if I can set aside some time to implement them before the 8th.

I still strongly recommend using a Xinput capable gamepad or a DirectInput gamepad with key modifier because that was the intended experience when I was designing the core of the gameplay.

Back to menu work and then hopefully some time to revisit art a little before DD13.

>>170082172
Happy birthday, anon. Try to have a great day!

LMMS should really be added to the tools section of the agdg site as a free music creation tool.

If I've got my game loop looking a bit like this:

while(game.IsRunning())
{
Input();
Update();
Render();
}

And the player presses a key, which I detect inside Input(). How am I gonna execute whatever code that keypress is supposed to do in Update()?
I mean, afaict, I'm supposed to do the changes in game logic inside Update(), but the keypress detection happens in Input().
Or am I just supposed to do the game logic that's dependant on user input inside Input()?

Well, you didn't know either, but you posted.

>>170085712
>while(game.IsRunning())
>{
>Input = Input();
>Update(Input);
>Render();
>}

>>170085712
Input() calls the functions that are input dependent, which usually setup shit that needs Update() to perform things over many frames.

For example, Input() starts an animation when a key is pressed, Update() keeps it looping.

>>170085712
Is there a good reason for you to separate input and update?

I mean, I would agree that they are separate - polling for raw input or whatever and then translating to high level inputs is separate from using the high level inputs. But it's more like update() would take the result of input(), the high level input state, as a parameter.

>>170086117
>Input = Input();

What would you drink from this bottle?

>>170085801
You can't. You could set up a sprite rotation system ala Doom which calculates the angle of the sprite from the player and adjusts the sprite accordingly. This is a step beyond just billboarding a sprite to have it face the camera. You would then modify this script to stop billboard rotation at a certain angle if the sprite clips through the level geometry (like a wall, and it will because billboards follow the angle of the camera and will make physical collision with geometry which you can detect with a collider).

All of this needs tested but it's my best guess. As for the Doom sprite mechanic I've already built my own and no you can't have it. Just figure it out yourself.

>>170086501
>criticizing pseudocode
You miss the point entirely, but ok.

>>170086117
I like this option, it's quite simple and understandable. But I've never seen the game loop implemented like that, so I'm a bit wary.

>>170086121
Hmm, that sounds like the way it should be. But I'm gonna need to find more examples for Input() and Update() functionality. I'm a bit too unfamiliar with the logic here. Thanks, though, this will most likely help me.

>>170086150
>Is there a good reason for you to separate input and update?
Well, I'm mainly doing so only because I know that I'm not familiar enough with this kind of logic that I should be implementing my own way of doing this shit. I'd rather learn the basics properly, and then choose my own path if I feel like it.
Everywhere I see, everyone says there should be a clear separation of concerns. I'm trying to do just that.

>>170086870
>But I've never seen the game loop implemented like that, so I'm a bit wary.
You probably have. It's just that it probably uses mutable persistent state as opposed to an immutable temporary.

>>170087841
I'm rusty on structs but I believe a struct is a value type, not a reference type. In order to change the contents of a struct you need to create a new one to replace it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

>>170087902
yes

>>170088352
That's wrong, and even if it were right, list is a reference type, so you can mutate it without modifying the "containing" struct itself.

I have Game Maker, and at some point I may make a video game, but right now I want to make a board game.

However, I want to use GMS to make a playable sample version of my game to test balance and rules and such prior to making a physical prototype.

Can I post about that here?

>>170088730
Yes

>>170088406
Are you sure? The only possibility here is that stringList is null.

>>170088730

>>170093582
having two devs doesn't just mean that you're going through all the needed code at twice the speed, there's all this weird synergy going on too.

for one you start splitting workload so you're both working on things you like or are better at. pure does a lot of hard math, level design finetunes how a lot of basic systems work in relation to each other, i do tedious data entry shit and most of the juicing or autistic optimizations, shader/textures.

then you also find that having somebody else read your code really helps catching poor decisions early. there have been a lot of times when one of us wrote something, then when the other dev looked over it they found that the whole thing could be done better/faster and t hat saves time/enthusiasm.

thirdly it's always good to have somebody to cover up for you when you burn out for a day or two, progress doesn't halt and by the time you get back the other dev may have a laundry list of things you gotta do, so you get a more clear idea of what you're gonna do next.

there's prolly a lot more and I dunno if it works this way for everyone, but I found that it's a pretty great way to make vidya.

Not only does it take longer to draw more frames, but also it's rarely necessary to have that many frames. Sometimes it can make an animation look too slow or too smooth when it's supposed to be a fast and snappy animation.

Just make as many frames as is needed for the animation to look good, don't worry about the frame rate of the sprite. The only frame rate that matters is the game itself running at 60fps or better.

>>170095324
>Sometimes it can make an animation look too slow or too smooth when it's supposed to be a fast and snappy animation.
That makes no sense at all, it's up to the animal to decide how many frames an animation takes no matter the FPS.

>>170094924
This
>>170095324
Not even anime animates at 24 fps

>>170095004
In future, googling the error message is a good start.

But in this case the problem should be obvious: you've created an object reference in your script but not assigned it to anything. I'm guessing it's your player. In Unity, you need to assign references in the inspector as well as your script.

Try looking at the object that's holding that script in the inspector and see if any references are empty.

>>170094772

Use unity's UI system. It will do what you want and its much nicer to use than trying to write GUI code from scratch.

they pretty much are bouncy balls at this point. they're about as fast, and behave like baseballs. when i make them faster they're really hard to see without any effects. i'm probably going to make some particle effect to put over the physical bullet object that makes them more visible. you can already kind of richochet shots.

3MB, 709x480px

Finally implemented what I believe (at this time) to be the very last of Dixie's core movement mechanics. I had removed one core unlockable mechanic (the chain dodge) and turned it into a purchaseable move because it didn't have the movement utility I wanted, but I needed a new one to replace it, so I came up with the Cannon Jump (which is cool as hell).

Originally based on the SM64 cannon, if you hold aim AND crouch and press jump, instead of a backflip, you'll shoot Dixie in the direction your camera is facing. This piggybacks on the long jump animation and damage system because I like those.

But THEN I realized, when testing, that if you do a long jump (out of a slide or power slide) without touching the movement input, the game reads that as a Cannon Jump instead of a long jump. After testing this, I liked it, so I decided to basically copy the Bullet Jump from Warframe (ABS on your vertical slope, so aiming down is the same as aiming up and it's a mirrored axis) and let that be a mechanic that comes with Cannon Jumping. I'm leaving it as-is so that you can still aim while long jumping if you want (just keep a movement input held down) for Vanquish-style stuff.

Also, FINALLY got around to finishing the skid-stop and cartwheel jump out of it, and also to adding a potential Triple Jump to be unlocked. So I think that about does it in terms of core movement options. I still have to finish implementing reloading and its associated subsystems (that's next, I needed an actual gun mesh to do it) and then after that it's all content/asset design.

Which is the part where I got stuck making Mayhem League. Got there about 2 years faster this time around, but lets hope that I don't burn out in the same spot again.

>>170101995

Are you going to keep that sort of style for the environment?

>>170102164
Yes, mainly. The most noticeable issue with it (apart from the lack of decorations, "cliff edge" textures, and stuff like that) is that UE4 doesn't support smooth-shading on BSP brushes, and I do want that (especially since my cel shader loves to draw those hard edges with outlines)

So when the level is properly blocked out, I'll bake meshes from the geometry and go through and smooth out some of the harsher edges with beveling/subdivision and smoothing/edgegrouping to make it look less like creased paper and more like pic related, which was the original artstyle "vision" I had.

Or do you mean the actual LAYOUT? Because the level right now is basically an empty husk with very little in the way of props or interactables.

this looks like Vexx but actually good. i hope you make this hard as balls, difficult 3d platformers with tight controls are pretty rare.

also yooka laylee is looking pretty bad unfourtunetly so the markets going to be perfectly primed for someone to pick up its slack.

>>170102669
This isn't really a 3D "platformer"... it does have some platforming elements, but it's really more in the spirit of collectathon games, mixed with cuhrayzee combat.

Think Bayonetta-Kazooie.

Though tight controls is always something to shoot for, even if you don't need them to nail challenging jumps.

>>170102541
Cool.

The latest dev build has new BSP tools, maybe you won't have to do the mesh step.

>>170102669
Actually I just watched gameplay video of Vexx and yeah, I could see the comparison. The combat hopefully has more depth, but it's that early 2000s adventure-brawler-platformer type of game.

Unlike Vexx, though, it's not really a linear game, the levels are more about exploring and collecting.

>>170103020
I mean, meshing is generally smart ANYWAY since BSP is not performant at all in UE4. Though they did just get nativization (BP to C++) for cooking down so maybe Geometry 2.0's tools will also include native meshing for BSP groups or something. It would be nice to keep the level geometry modifiable as I work, a big part of games like this is avoiding static setpieces and really tweaking the shape of things to suit path placement and such.

>>170103364
It looks like they let you manipulate static meshes in the same way you can BSP brushes, which will be sweet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMkl9pfMmn4

>>170103552
If it's actually effective (and easy to make iterated changes to meshes; i.e. the same mesh can be manipulated in multiple separate instances), yes, it is pretty sweet. You just mesh-convert your rough blocking of the level and then tweak away.

Though if it doesn't have any UV or shading. tools that doesn't help me much with smoothing groups.

i enjoyed vexx, but it was one of those rushed idea guy games from 2002. it had an abysmal camera and dumb story but the environment design wasn't bad and the platforming was pretty weighty.

i think the rate you come up with mecahanics and implement them is pretty astonishing. also check out metal arms glitch in the system, its an actually good example of a similiar kind of game thats aged extremely well. i beat it a few weeks ago.

It looks a lot like a Rachet and Clank clone, honestly. R&C is also not dissimilar to what I'm doing, though it obviously draws more heavily from third-person-shooters than Dixie (and far less from 3D brawlers, which is what I think makes Dixie interesting).

How do you bypass Unreal 4's 'texture streaming pool over' error?

I built the lighting overnight, came back in a couple of hours and it was finished, then tried to save the map, but it gets stuck at 75% when it gets to the 'BuiltData.uasset' part, and the texture streaming pool over error is still showing up. Are the baked shadows/lights too big?

I just went through right now and replaced every single object's materials/textures in the scene to the basic floor material, deleted as many background objects as I could tolerate, and basically undid hours and hours of work and now it all looks like garbage. At first it looked like the texture streaming pool overmax numbers went down, but it's still going over. I don't even have anything complicated in my scene, it's just a bunch of massive but primitive structures.

I'm gonna try rebuilding the lighting again now that the background is even more simple now, but it's stuck at 0% right now so if it doesn't work, I'm gonna have to start editing the playable area which is already pretty simple in terms of textures and geometry. I just want to save the map and shut my computer down so I can get some sleep.

Dayum. I'm loving where this is headed!

Whats gunna be the aim of your game bro? Also, you gunna just stick with using cubes for your guys? or you gunna change it later?

That just means your scene is using more than what is defined as the maximum for your texture setting.
It's just a warning that you're using more than the arbitrary recommendation in a config file, it shouldn't have any impact on your baking, that seems to be a different issue.

If you want to remove the warning go to Settings > Engine scalability and increase the Texture option (which increases the page pool size), or change what value is the maximum in your scalability settings.

>Think of it as a reference to gakuen handsome
you're doing a shit job then.
gakuen handsome turned me gay.
you made an mspaint clown.

>>170110239
I didn't meant it to be gay, just cool looking designs, that's all, sorry if it was not clear, i'm so sorry, i think i will have to redesign my character

I'd get rid of the thin white horizontal lines. Other than that looks good

i'm not sure exactly how to word this, but i'm trying to get gml to accept a number + or - that number by 5.

so if the number it was looking for was 10, it would also accept anything in the 5 to 15 range.

what would the code look like for that?

you need to study the full breadth of yaoi art before you are ready to try to even try to emulate gakuen.

But that would require a little amount of social interaction!

something like a physics based jedi outcast 2.

i have exactly zero experience with modeling and no time to learn so for now its cube people. i might try to go with my intended aesthetic once i get all the controls and mechanics done, but its a long road ahead for me.

>>170110651
it works perfectly, thank you

my million year old toaster is melting when i record stuff, but i will do it anyway, just for you. It will look like ass and lag a bunch.

Why the hell do you want to collaborate when you have all the skills you need to make a decent game?

gameplay looks really good
Don't keep the environment style scheme though its really ugly, its dark and the textures are murkey

Do lighter colors and less detail in textures

>>170108385
This is gonna make shit loads of money when finished

>>170111808
I get bored of the soul crushing loneliness

I'm also weak at design theory. I work better when I get input/feedback to build off of.

Also the fancy assets I'm using make me look better than I am.

I'd really like to collab on a simple, maybe top down space game tho

here is the minmap while generating random maps.

i just go recursive from a starting point with some random termination thingies, which obviously is just so i have some maps at all for now, i can probably come up with something more sophisticated.

Even just redoing the pathways makes the forest look a lot better. Going to redo the trees next.

i wonder what would happen if you keep going to the end of the way, the archer will teleport to the other side of the map or the game will crash

>>170112889
massive improvement
