repost but im not going to make it to demo day. i'm not giving up on this like i did last time but i didn't get around to doing even 1/10th of what i had planned for DD13.

i could slap something together but i wanted to make something special for DD, so i'm going to hunker down and fix everything for next time.

>>170281390
Dude, use nearest neighbour not linear filtering.
It looks like a blurry mess.

>>170281823
Why not just upload what you have right now?
DD isn't really for polished experiences or whatever.

>>170281890
yeah i forgot

>>170281823
This looks so dramatic... Could you use that animation system with a regular skinned mesh?

>>170281823
oh so you do need limbs to function. all other webms looked like they were string puppets

>Demo Day 14
What the what?

>>170281932
because i don't even have a game. the moveset isn't complete, i have no levels, hud, menu's, actual AI, or almost any of the combat features i wanted to implement.

i want to get this where i want it to be gameplay wise before i go public with a playable demo.

>>170282280
What about it? Don't tell me you forgot to upload your game to DD13.

>>170282243
yea, thats partially why i did it this way. you can put anything you want over it, its just a bunch of primitives.

Does an undo history typically store actions relatively or absolutely?

Like if I move something 50 units left, does it remember the actual location before moving, or just how much I moved it and this is then reversed when you undo?

Does it matter?

>>170282509
There is no jam page yet. Just post a link to your game in the thread after you're done

>>170282247
which ones? all the movement is done with the limbs, there aren't any hidden forces or rotation locks.

>>170282643

pretty impressive if it's real

I like 1 and 4 the best

Is there a clear best option when learning to drawfag with a pencil and paper and watching the lines come out of the pencil's tip and learning on a tablet (peripheral, not tablet PC) and watching the lines appear on the screen without seeing your hand?
Do I learn analog and then start with the tablet? Do I skip analog and go straight to drawing digitally? Do I alternate and learn a character a bit on paper, then practice it on the computer?

>>170283620
Making art on computer, music or drawing, requires some skill to begin with.
Why would you draw something nice on a tablet, if you can't draw?
Pencil first.

>>170283620
I don't think it matters, just try to actually learn and don't scribble around aimlessly.

On the discussion about lewd with gameplay or without, i will try to make fun gameplay, but if i can't make that work with the lewd it'll probably be better to just scrap it.
The two things i will definitly do is, you won't have to play for hours to get to the lewd and i will put some kind of timer into the lewd scenes so that you know exactly how long until the scene reaches it's climax.

Reminder that #FFFF00 size 10 on #FFFFFF background is the correct way to make people remember your game for its UI.

Thanks. I think i may just go the doom route and have a weaker and a stronger version of the same monster, with different colors.
So 1 would be the standard one, and 4 would be the strong version.
To make things a bit different, i could also do stuff like make the eyes glow, change horn size, heck, i think i may bake out this hair that i didn't bother to include and i'll only use it on the blue version.

I've been watching these threads for the past couple months while I try to learn Unity. Finally decided recently to take a crack at a small multiplayer android app. Slow progress and I often get stuck but when I figure it out, oh it feels SO GOOD.

So have any of you guys been following the Ryzen coverage ? You would have thought the more cores meme would have died over a decade ago but its just as strong as ever. It turns out that us game programmers are just incompetent and lazy because any algorithm we write can be easily scaled to an arbitrary amount of cores.

Surely AMD/Intel would never lie or exaggerate to peddle their wares. Boy do we all suck.

That's true, though. Games have no business not scaling to upwards of 16 cores.

>>170286539
ratio of time spent in critical sections compared to overall time is literally the biggest issue to scaling

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law

>>170287096
admit it, you never intended to make a non-lewd game from the start.

>>170287096
How do you handle different clothes and animation/deforming? Do you split up the model or just layer it on top or something? Looks real good either way,

>>170286736
I believe you can enable "Pro" UI that disables all that stuff in the bottom right, which I do agree isn't nice to look at. Gives you some nice info though.

>>170287308
I doubt he even had any intention of doing anything game-related, he's just playing with barbie dolls.

>>170287225
Just because critical sections exist doesn't mean you can't run N at once where N is the number of cores. Games (including the engine obviously) have tons of tasks that can be run concurrently at any given time.

There's no one serial bottleneck.

>>170287387
I trust Nintendo to be good enough at level design that the player wouldn't require that minimap. Least they could do is a semi-immersive mapscreen instead of Minecraft Minimap 1.12.

>>170287434
Probably, I don't remember him ever talking about the gameplay, not even once. then again, >enginedevs

>>170287607
Minecraft map is immersive

>>170287607
For dungeons they give you a pretty cool 3D rotatable minimap.

>>170287514
which amounts to very little when its a single thread doing the majority of the work.

Typical modern game setup:
-process spawns a shitload of threads, 20, 30, 70, whatever
-most of those threads will spend their time chilling waiting to be asked to do something taking up no CPU resources
-at any given time maybe 4-6 threads doing any significant amount of work
-one main thread consistently doing not only the most work but a lot more compared to other active threads

I do sculpt a rough mesh, decimate it and project the weight painting form the nude mesh on it, if necessary i'll remove parts of the body to prevent them from showing through. The mesh looks like shit, but it works and is fast.

You failed step 1. Use a thread pool with one thread per CPU core. You don't need zillions of threads.

>>170287514
yeah but as soon as you need work from those other threads, oh shit, you run into a CS.

Game: 23/Prometheus
Dev: GrandFaker
Tools: GM:S, GIMP, FL Studio
Web: 22verse.tumblr.com, twitter.com/GrandFaker, grandfaker.itch.io

Progress:
+ Added options to turn screnshake on/off
+ Added sliding mechanic
+ Minor visual updates
+ Reworked scaling (now you can choose between window mode + zoom/stretched fullscreen/fullscreen with blackbars, but if you have screen with 16:9 ratio, both fullscreens options will look pixel perfect good and without black bars)
+ Game works now even if you don't have shaders compatibility
+ Now there are a lot less objects in game (so we have smoother gameplay)
- But that made me do "loading screen"
+ Good thing that on newer maps loading will be much faster than it is now (now it's not long, so I guess it's ok)
- There are a lot of sprites that won't be remade in new artstyle before DD13

>>170287819

>>170288496
On windows you can download programs that monitor threads.

>>170288412
Also usually the tiny bottlenecks I mentioned are only for a subset of the data and so they can execute concurrently with other things. E.g. collision detection splits into islands which, while individually are serial critical sections, can all be executed concurrently. And then you have all the other stuff happening at the same time as collision detection.

>>170288412
>serial bottleneck
oh, so you gonna buffer 16 frames so each core gets a fair share?

>>170288815
Don't deflect. A serial bottleneck is what you are saying is unavoidable, and I want a fucking example.

I am not saying it doesn't count or that it isn't true. I just don't happen to own a copy to test myself.

>>170283620
1) Buy a cheap Wacom tablet. Taking a glance at their lineup right now, I recommend the "Intuos Draw Small". You can get one of these refurbished or second hand for cheaper, but they're only $80, and it's worth the few extra shekels to not have to deal with second hand hassles. My first Wacom tablet lasted me 10 years, and was only done in by software issues. They're well worth it.

2) Use Photoshop, get used to the controls. I will tentatively say, though the software is extremely outdated, that Easy Paint Tool SAI is a lot more intuitive and easier to learn to sketch and draw in. SAI is so outdated that I'm having driver/performance issues with it now, but rotating/flipping the canvas being easy in SAI was a game changer for me. You can rotate/flip canvas in Photoshop, but it's shittier and less intuitive. I've heard good things about Clip Studio Paint, so you can check that out, too.

3) Check your pressure sensitivity. Set it so it feels good. How do you know if it feels good? If how thick and thin the line turns up on the screen feels natural to how much pressure you're using. This will be different for every artist and will likely change as you get more skilled, so keep it in mind as you progress. Pressure settings can be different depending on the program, so make sure you've set them properly.

4) Get used to hotkeys. The default settings may not be set in such a way that will be intuitive to you, so play around with them or get used to them. Some key actions are undo, redo, transform, select all, deselect, brush/eraser, switch color, save, flip canvas. You don't have to memorize all of these keyboard shortcuts right away, and you don't even have to use all of them, but learning a few can drastically speed up your work flow and make learning easier.

It's like calling painting on the computer cheating because you don't have to physically scrape paint off the canvas if you make a mistake. You will probably draw things at the wrong size in proportion to each other. Common problems are drawing the face too small for the head, drawing the head too big/small for the body, drawing the torso too big for the limbs, drawing too big/small for the canvas. With ctrl+t it is trivial to adjust these problems. It will also train you to look for proportion problems early on, something people who train on paper tend to shy away from due to the difficulty of erasing and redrawing on paper.

6) Watch art streams on Picarto, watch speedpaints and speeddraws on YouTube. You'll learn a lot watching the workflow. You'll probably notice many professional artists ctrl+t spamming, using computer filters intelligently, and referencing images a lot. Don't watch "tutorials", they're probably retarded Patreon bait, unless you're trying to learn how to do something specific like applying clipping masks or gradients.

I started out drawing on paper, but I improved drastically when I got a tablet because of how easy it was to draw. I wasn't wasting time erasing, redrawing, tracing because I started in a bad place on the page. I learned to ink better and faster because there was no way I could "ruin" my lineart on a computer.

Go ahead and keep a paper sketchbook around and draw while you're away from the computer or whenever you feel like it. The key is to make it so you enjoy drawing and enjoy learning how to control lines. The disconnect between seeing your hand draw a line and using a tablet can be jarring at first, but ultimately it's a trivial problem. Just draw more and you'll get used to both.

Hah that's awesome though. Agreed the topology looks bad but I didn't even notice in the previous images so unless performance or animation is a problem I guess you can just keep going like that. Thanks for the information, I'm currently looking into ways of creating equipable items and projecting weight painting sounds real nice I have to say.

>>170289512
Because you don't own a scanner nor do you have access to props to scan. Also there are lots of things that don't exist to be scanned.

most games are single threaded, the technical difficulty is not in making your engine spawn new threads, that's almost always built in the languages already and requires a couple of hours of reading at most. The problem is that you can't have enemy behaviour/status updates/etc separated from the main loop without having to do an absolute mess on your codebase and syncronizing a lot of the things to respond to the main game loop, which ends up with you having a performance that is pretty close to the non-threaded version of your code.

My guess is you haven't actually made a game complex enough on your engine to notice this problem yet.

Threads are pretty good to separate things like sound, networking and UI events, the rest is much better off in a single threaded game loop.

By the way, the threads you see spawning are usually event listeners and things like that.


How do I know all of this? I used to make my games without 3rd party engines and found out on my own, if you google about it you'll probably find lots of resources that explain these problems too.

>>170289512
What complex geometries do they scan?

>>170289512
Because where are they going to find a dragon to scan

>>170288042
So far you haven't posted literally anything related to gameplay so I'm very skeptical.

>>170288942
but that's my point. you can't just operate on whole world's state, threads will either copy or take turns. your logic will have to wait for physics to finish (which is also very fun to parallelize) unless you want some really interesting temporal weirdness from your ai. what definitely scales is particle effects, but what genre can really utilize that?

everything that's parallel is offloaded to gpus anyway

>>170288042
>I do absolutley intend to make a gameplay.
...And? What will it be like? What genre (no, lewd is not a genre)?

>>170289663
This is all false. Just because you don't know how to write good threaded code doesn't mean it's impossible. While heavy threading isn't really applicable nor all that necessary for gameplay, the engine can benefit massively from it. Also it's not like gameplay code is inherently serial - you can pipeline it so that all the objects do one thing, spread across cores, then all the objects do another thing, etc.

>>170289554
Krita crashes my computer. I think it's a little processor heavy and buggy for an average person to start out drawing with.

>>170289705
simple you find a komodo dragon from the zoo

>>170289682
They told me they've used it on guns for the new ghost recon game.

But there are tons of applications. Look at this https://www.artec3d.com/3d-models/napoleon

>>170289824
>your logic will have to wait for physics to finish
When you can split both these things up into N threads it doesn't matter. There's no actual work to be done in between, it's just a barrier. And not all logic needs to depend on physics.

>>170289278
I have a Wacom CTE440 and a license for CS5. I've done digital photography always using photoshop for nearly two decades now. I'll follow your other advice. I think I'm going to go with a mixture of learning both concurrently as I'm starting from zero on paper and digitally.

>>170289960
I am sure you are going to spend $20,000 for a high tech scanner.. Anon...

>>170289878
Yeah but then you look at something very widely available like an AR15, a shotgun, an M1911 those things are easier to find in the US than kinder eggs.

Those are very easy to find and scan rather than paying an artist to work on something like that.

And I'm a pretty good coder by the way, so fuck you for implying I don't know how to write good threaded code.

Ah, shitty thumb, should have manually picked a frame with the noptes visible

>>170290309
From what I gathered they didn't scan every single weapon that's in the game but a good number of them were newly scanned. Also regarding sound they re-recorded only a few new ones for the sniper rifles because they assumed that would be what most people would use since it's an open world game.

And having played the beta of it I can confirm the 50cals are really fucking satisfying.

Advanced Warfighter models are outdated as fuck and I agree Future Soldier models were just fine.

>>170289903
I'm taking your side in the argument, anon, because I like you and think you probably smell nice.
My question is if someone doesn't know shit about shit and is just starting UE4 and the C++ and stuff like openGL that comes with it, how do you think about using multiple cores effectively while learning from sources like articles and tutorials focused on solving problems and learning things with a single threaded focus? Should I always have in my mind how can more threads do this better? Do I need to learn my basic shit before I can handle writing "good threaded code?" Do I just need to lurk where people are doing this and find out what can or should be done with it and what can be done in the manner which I'll learn everywhere else?

Well, if you are going for a realistical 3d modelling, you are fucked. But a lot of shit can't be scanned, like buildings, cartoonized characters, and stuff that doesn't exist irl.

Also, even if it is scanned, they still need someone to fix/clean it up.

>>170290916
learn something useful like programming

>>170290726
If you're using an engine and not doing any heavy lifting yourself then you don't care because it's already done for you (whether it's done well or not is out of your hands).
Otherwise then you just have to make your code decoupled, don't use shared mutable state, etc. and it becomes very obvious where you can go parallel. If you get familiar with functional programming, it helps.

>>170290728
There's a third option which you're neglecting:
>break up code into tasks with explicit dependencies
>spread independent tasks across cores automatically
At any given moment you probably have tens if not hundreds of independent tasks that could be executing.

They're not. The dependencies are specified using an API like futures.

Why would they be? There's little to no resource contention if you do it right.

>>170290752
If you spend X amount of years with any set of tools you're going to learn a lot of unintended tricks with them. Sai is great for converting drawings into sprites relatively quick. If I ever hire help, there's a lot of little pedantic things I'd need to pass onto them as part of the process as I've learned it.

If you meant that in a general 'art' sort of way, there's no greater time than right now to learn. Proko on youtube is a legitimately amazing resource that I could suggest to anyone. Loomis made great reading material on similar subjects, but he can be a little dry, and people certainly overrate him.

This is reasonable. I just hope you don't end up making a lot of models, and then give up because you would have to optimize a bunch of already finished models.

I mean, if you just make one of those games where is basically just the character and a 10-triangles dick, you don't need to optimize much.

My idea is golden. I've started work because I want it to exist. It doesn't matter if you're making Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball but with 90% more dicks, if it doesn't exist now and it is within your power to start then start making it. Your game deserves to exist and the knowledge you gain from attempting something out of your scope, as you put it, is greater than that which you game from doing nothing. You will learn that your scope will expand if you only begin and there will come a time when you'll learn enough to switch to something possible and great that you've thought up in the meantime.

>>170294360
Sure, go ahead.
As for genres, if the game can fall under an existing genre then it's most likely derivative but there might be exceptions.

lol I don't have to since you admitted it

>>170295540
So what is this game?

>>170295612
Where did I do that?

>>170295516
googs is one of the only real devs here

he actually finished his games

>>170295596
jokes on you i haven't made any game yet ;_;

maybe googs isnt an actual person but a state of mind exclusive to agdg

post your model again, i dare you!

>Factorio
Dev literally lists a bunch of games he derived from.

>Antichamber
M. C. Escher but I guess that counts since it's not another game.

>Dead Rising
>another open world zombie survival game
As derivative as it gets.

>Garry's Mod
JBMod

Furries will pay for anything

>>170295663

The idea at least is that you'll be a pizza delivery man who goes on cool adventures and stuff. At the moment it is pretty rough though. Not even pizzas to deliver.

>>170296204
why do Furries have so much money? They are literally rich all of them

>>170296114
So you admit that you got what you asked for? The name of a game released in the last 15 years, not deriving from any other game before it?

>>170296210
So like a race against time platformer?

>>170296316
Antichamber is the most original out of those but I think it still follows a lot of common first person puzzler tropes.

I will let it pass though.

>>170296245
They're all autistic so they get government disability money to spend on fursuits and dicknipple commissions.

Ban evasion in 3...2...

>>170296326

I dont want to have a time system. The pizza delivery is a excuse to send players places to adventure if that makes sense.

>>170296443
Also my initial point is that a game doesn't need to be completely original to be good so there.

>>170296443
>I think it still follows a lot of common first person puzzler tropes
Not looking to artificially prolong the argument here, just genuinely interested. What exactly would those be? I'm assuming you are referring to things that could also be found in Portal or Myst?

>>170296627
oh okay sounds interesting
I'll look for your progress

"success" doesn't have a single inalienable measure and i would say measuring your success in cash isn't healthy.
i mean what happens if you get struck by hyperinflated currency and all your "success" becomes literally worthless?

>>170295523
amateur means not having bosses, not being a business, not making your decisions as a business rather than as an artist.

We've been over this, you actual retard

>>170297127
I know that low poly + pizel textures + smooth shading and shadows is the style you're going for, but have you tried seeing how your game would look in an unlit style?

>>170296245
>why do White People have so much money? They are literally rich all of them

you don't see the poor ones because the poor ones aren't notable, nor do they do anything notable. Because they're poor.

Threadly reminder

Working on making a game like Silent Hill PT.

Someone says that horror is generic and most indie games are just trying to make a crappy horror game.

Suddenly, stop working on my game. Going to delete it tomorrow.

I don't know /agdg/, is horror really generic and bad? Am I hack dev if I work on a horror game.

It just seems like the best way forward.

maybe that's what you need because your games suck, googum

>>170297379
this is in 3ds max, also unlit won't cut it since it's going to be a horror game in space.

Not if you make a good one

>>170297285
you can see he really does think he's a game dev or game designer or something because he's always flapping his toothless gums on such things before he reks himself
string of deleted posts about how he thinks the industry should be and how everyone is stupid except him
its hilarious

Remove proxy slut. Remove sourcefam. The thread is closed until further notice, until such time as sourcefam is removed permanently. Thank you for your co-operation.

>>170297712
Yes you can also see who he wants to false flag because he's always crying about him too or posting the same shitpost pictures. Winged insects have really done a number on our simple little boy.

>>170297554
You should make the game that you want to play, anon. Figure out how to do that with what you have already or decide that you can't. People like passion, not just X or Y Genre that's hot right now.

Admin and his lowercase friend strike again.

>>170297742
Your post isn't coherent.

>it's a source episode
Someone just make a new thread. This one is tainted. I'll get the Menz & Mollyz on the horn to let them know that their lunatic is on the loose again.

Back in the day, before the US decided it wanted to win gold at Basketball forever, only pure amateur athletes were allowed to compete in the Olympics. This meant you could earn no salary from professional athletics, could earn no prizes from competitions, could have no endorsements for products. You were only an amateur if you had never earned anything from that sport.

>>170298445
Superbrotheres only really looked good in the parts with modern lighting effects, I thought.

nice persona clone

>>170299137
just looked at a few persona vids, i actually imagined it quite differently but maybe i'm bad at explaining my concept haha

>>170297285
Oh we're not allowed to talk about it apparently. Hush hush.

>>170298902
Gray and also gray are pretty shitty for two different rarities.

>>170293786
>Her body has only slightly above 10k triangles, modern games have like 40k-80k for hero characters
Highly detailed characters, yes. Cartoony simplistic stuff like yours should never be above 4k imo.
It could easily be done in 2k.

>I'm not going to optimize before i'm having performance issues.
You're making a PC game, nigga. Just optimize it so Russians playing on their grandma's computer can play it too. No point in being an idiot.

>>170294056
>~200 tris
More like minimum 5k tris?

>>170298574
No, I don't think triple A studios should compete in indie contests/jams either.
And who gives a fuck about negroidball.

kind of stuck right now. I want to try out monogame and make a quick online game so I was thinking of doing a card game.

>>170297127
>>170297379

love this style. its that mgs2/3 look. this is what I want for my game I am currently writing.

Or you could stop being a broke faggot. It's 2017.

>More like minimum 5k tris?
Who cares?
That's like the difference of leaving a few boulders out of a level in some games

true, thanks! the two gray ones are for really basic units/cards but i'll change it to a brighter and darker grey.

>>170299840
Hey retard even the cheapest cell phones can handle 10k models no problem. You should not post about gamedev anymore.

how the heck do you make a dialog system this good in unity

http://dissonancedev.tumblr.com/post/158069125257/dialog-system-this-is-not-quite-feature-complete

i'm at a loss, the dude acts like its nothing but I can barely even comprehend where to begin building something like that

>>170300001
>>170300005
>it's 2017
>therefore I shouldn't bother to optimize
So you are the reason why all indie Unity games run at 10FPS on new rigs.

>>170300182
Coroutines.

>>170300234
You sound like an idiot. I mean you can keep typing words at people like you know what you're saying all you want but just so you know why we're not taking you seriously. It's because you're wrong.

>>170300234
lol cry me a river
Don't be so melodramatic

>>170300028
Why don't you go with Gray and not-gray?

How are you guys planning to incorporate retrowave into your games?

Amount of tris in a single model is not as important as the total sum being rendered.

Anyone who has ever actually made a 3D game would know this.

>>170300582
>>170300596
>>170300796
You do know that 90% of Steam customers play on laptops, right?
Not optimizing is actually a pretty bad idea.

>>170297127
Reminds me of metal gear. Looks great..

>>170301070
Of course, but I assume he's going to have more than just the single model in view at all times?
Or am I expecting too much from him?

>>170301104
Why are you still arguing? Even $50 piece of shit Obamaphones can render 10k models and then sum without issue. You're wrong and instead of stopping you're going to push, like an idiot who literally never learns.

>>170301262
Games are seldom made of one single model, Anon.
I'm just annoyed at the attitude.
>no, I'll just make this model more than twice as bloated as it needs to be because I'm a lazy sack of shit

>>170301262
>sum
some rather

>>170300883
By allowing other people to do it. That looks nice though, I like it.

>>170301373
>Games are seldom made of one single model, Anon.
Again, you're wrong and instead of stopping you're going to push, like an idiot. Just plow through and not listen to any of the points that have already defeated your asinine argument >>170301070

>>170301493
Haven't argued against that even once.
You're the idiot, Anon.

Are you saying he probably optimizes everything else, just not his character models?
Because that makes even less sense.
