I was thinking about uploading unlisted 1-5 (no longer than 5) minute playthroughs of each demo day demo. Right now there are 43 entries and I don't wanna spend more than like 3 hours on this. Only problem is, I don't recognize all the games and so I don't know if some of them are whodevs or not. Does this sound good?

>>170648165
you can just ask which games are from whodevs if you have doubts, people will answer

>>170644772

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I only remember the site was in japanese and it had some really good anime models. A lot of them were for MMD but I don't think it was a site exclusively for them.

Do you think a modern day Sim-Hospital clone would sell well? Capture a meme audience?

>>170648165
Some may not post regularly in these threads and therefore be whodevs to most of us, but AGDG stretches beyond the threads, to the discord and even the other chan. From experience I can tell you 5 minutes is basically nothing, it would be more worthwhile to give half the games 10 minutes, but even that is not much for some of the entries. I think it's a good idea to give back to the community though, so yeah, do find a format that works for you and help your fellow devs.

>>170648919

This is a jam hosted by and for the AGDG community at 4chan.
If you are not a part of the community then this jam is not for you.

>>170648764
Sure, but you better hope there will be a market for it in 5+ years.

>>170648764
I wouldn't expect it to sell amazingly but there is a definitely an audience for those kind of games.

If I'm making a mobile game and testing it on my android phone, what happens if the app crashes? Does it just close? I just got my first phone recently, so I don't really know what happens. I'm 24

>>170651554
Why?

>>170651741
It should say "Unfortunately, ____ has stopped."
What does your age have to do with the answer?

>>170651741
Yes, a phone can crash. It can also lose data if your code is really crappy.
There's some android emulators available, to avoid that.

This cockpit I've been making for a few days is turning out pretty neat. Much better than the previous attempt. Hope it transfers well into the engine.

It's not accurate from the IRL counterpart but it's close enough. Though I think this much detail is a little bit overkill so I might scale it down a bit to save time and resources on future jets.

early tech always looks like shit. Very early pixel art looked like hot garbage, it wasn't until mid-late NES that they picked their game up.
3D's the same. Noone had any idea what they were doing, so they tried to be as realistic as possible and it looked like shit. Games like Mario and OoT look much better than that because Nintendo realised the tech wasn't good enough for realism so focusing on style was more important.
Focusing on realism when the tech can't handle it is the fastest way to make sure your game is outdated in less than a year

>>170661373
Because you're cherry picking the best 2D graphics and the worst 3D graphics. There are tons of old 2D games that look like complete ass, and also lots of old 3D games that look great. Generally the worst looking 3D games were attempting to go for a "realistic" look, but because models had to be so low poly, it just made it look terrible. The better 3D games had stylized art.

Also I think that pic you posted looks fairly good for an early attempt at realistic art.

Go out and run for 30 minutes. I'm guessing this isn't something you do on the regular so 30 minutes is a perfectly good time for a beginner. Even if you get tired and hit a wall, I want you to at the very least keep running until you get your second wind.

The moment that happens and you feel your screaming muscles quiet as you get a surge of adrenaline and realize that yes, you can keep going, it's going to change your perspective. You're going to realize how far a little bit of willpower can take you.

Once you've experienced that, go out tomorrow and do it again and keep at it for longer. Push into those third and fourth winds and keep improving your distance and duration. The more you practice those little victories of the will, the better your overall power over your life will increase.

When you come back in you're going to feel confident, energized, realize you're standing up straighter and your muscles have relaxed, your voice has deepened, and your mind is clearer and more able to focus. You'll look at the things that were blocking you before and scoff.

This is not some meathead Chad talking to you on his way back to /fit/. I was just like you for many years. Exercise turned everything around for me. It doesn't take much, it just takes small improvements every day. The struggle against complacency is a lifelong war of attrition.

Hello /agdg/, new shitdev here. What makes a Zelda game?

I've never really played any Zelda game that much but I've been working on a little project that'll hopefully result in something somewhat like the first Zelda game for the NES. The point is obviously not to make something groundbreaking but to actually finish a game for once and a neatly packed little adventure game at least seems something that's doable for me. So far I have stuff like different types of enemies, weapons, and utility items but where should I proceed from there?

What are the integral parts of a Zelda game? The dungeons? Exploration? What kind of puzzles there are if any? Has the story ever been important in the Zelda franchise? Whatever I work on seems to dry up whenever I manage to get the basic stuff implemented and the next step is to actually build the game.

>>170648919
In that case, I may just go ahead and do all of them, or at least until I get bored. Any requests? I'm probably gonna do them in batches.

>>170665094
There's a guy on youtube who has a whole set of videos that analyze the dungeon design and the like from the Zelda series. Its called like "Boss Keys" or something. Maybe that will help.

Go play them and work it out for yourself. You'll not only come away with your answer but if you're a good gamedev you'll also come away with your perspective on how to improve it and add your own spin on it.

Also Zelda is an old series that has changed a whole lot. Even comparing the first one to LTTP is a huge jump, let alone OOT. You'll very rarely find any one answer about concrete elements because zelda means different things to different people.

>>170665094
Zelda has become like Sonic and everyone has a different opinion on what the series should be like. BotW sure didn't help.

>>170665094

Gonna give you a little hint; the first zelda on the NES was pretty trash. With almost no direction and random placement of 'secrets' (ie; bomb random tiles after framing enemies until something happens) it's not a good game to emulate.

Consider instead Zelda 2, or any of the later games.

sounds like bullshit to me.
zelda1 introduced the concepts of: adventure, action, collecting an inventory of mostly the same/useless shit, shitty basicbitch puzzles, bog bosses you shoot in the eye/s.
...and every zelda game has done all those zelda things to varying degrees.

the only truly off game in the series is zelda2 because of its rpg stats.

- The elements of Metroid and Megaman well mixed.
- The difficulty will need some balance, but to think about it, it has an old NES feeling to it.
- Some sound effects are kind of irritating.
- Some animations are weird. Like when he switches from jump to fall, or sometimes it's hard to leave the ladder.
- Certain keys are not well mapped. I could only leave the room with the actual up button, while it should be the current key used for up, so if it's WASD then up should be W. Same for ladders. I could only use them properly with the other layout, and not with WASD which I've started with. Same goes for shop etc.
- I've made some friends. ;_;

Video feedback: https://youtu.be/YgYROMQ-_KU
- There were cases when I started the game, but it was silent.
- You have managed to compose the best sounding 4 second loop I've ever heard.
- I adore games like these. Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV and so on. It really is on par with those.
- Nice difficulty. I love torture. Yet I had to give it a rest after a while. (I hope I will be able to get to that date one time. ;_;)
- I know it's minimalist, but it would be nice to have the option to remap the keys. Spamming space in the dead silence of the night whilst others are sleeping are not good.
- I love the visual representation, the meta stuff. I really envy people who can make the simplest things look so good and appealing.
- Really, there's not much feedback or advice to say. It feels like a perfect, polished, finished game. I'm happy for you, and I'm very happy that I had the chance to play it! Thank you very much for creating this!

I moved to uk when I was 13, so I hadn't "absorbed" very much of that Latvian culture. That being said, the most obvious difference was that the people here were nicer. Might just be the lack of Rusians though, what with Latvia being 50%(probably more now) or so Russian at the time.

Another thing is that UK is in a lot of ways more modern. Latvia is poor as shit, so the tech there is almost always outdated.

In a way, despite all that it was comfy back there, but that was because I lived near a forest and a lake. Here I'm living in the city, so it's not the same. Then again I can always get back to this comfynes if I were to get enough cash and move somewhere like the place I used to live.
Won't be happening any time soon though.

Thanks for reading my blog post btw.

now that demo day is over can we have a loli jam page

Are there any guides/looks at how SHMUPs store level data? It seems like every possible way of storing level data for a SHMUP just has shit loads of hidden complexity that you don't realize is there until you start actually thinking about it, and I'm interested in how other people have done it.

>>170670592
Go right ahead.

>>170669689
Not him, but since you're here I'll give you my only minor nitpick about your game.
The HP and SP bars blend together, and I think their sizes are backwards, because the larger SP bars seem more important. It also seems like the SP bars "build out" the HP bars, so to speak. So starting out, I saw full SP in the corner of my vision and thought "hp's fine".
I also think if you block a hit that completely drains your SP fully, you should get no-damage knock-backed. If that interrupts the flow too much, maybe just fancy particle effects and sfx like a glass shattering instead.

But I really liked it.

I don't know why the muzzle flash only shows up occasionally when the sound plays consistently with the shooting, expecially when the two lines of code that control it are next to each other.

There's also raycasting coming from the gun but no effect or projectiles.

>>170673489
edgy

>>170673721
what's the code that's spawning the flashes?

>>170673551
Interesting. I have one last question.
Where did you make the animations for your gun?
Sorry for bothering.

>>170673864
The way I have the weapon set up is a series of objects that will change positions and model depending on what weapon it is.

But for right now there is one muzzle flash proxy that is on the tend of the gun. It's active is set to false by default or whenever you let go of mouse 1, but there is a couroutine within the script that makes it blink based on how fast the gun is shooting.

function Muzzle_Flash()
{
muzzle_flash.SetActive (true);
yield WaitForSeconds (reloadTime);
muzzle_flash.SetActive (false);
yield WaitForSeconds (reloadTime);
}

which is inside of the firing function.

I'll remove extraneous shit.


function Fire()
{

if(reloadTime < reload) {
return;
}

isShooting = true;


Muzzle_Flash();
GetComponent.<AudioSource>().Play();

reloadTime = 0;
}

>>170674150
There aren't any proper animations really, just lerped rotations for swinging and recoil and such

>>170674204
Ah. Try 0.5f*reloadTime, assuming that reload time is the time between shots. Glad to see that you are just setting active though, that's what I first thought.

>>170674310
reloadTime is a float variable that counts upwards until it hits reload. This is what determines the ROF.

For the M16, reload is 0.1, so the reloadTime counts up to .1 then goes back to 0

>>170674527
Ah. Set your Muzzle Flash to a coroutine (setting type to IEnumerator, then instead of calling the function, use Startcoroutine. See if that works. I didn't read the fire function until now. yield waitforseconds doesn't like to run as a function when there's other lines. I'm really surprised that the audio would work with that. But try that.

thank you for playing!!! still adding things to the trello the feedback never ends

How would I get a random number, but have the numbers generated on average be closer to a specific number?

>>170676094
>>170676268
I got it immediately because that's literally what it says, you should try not being retarded

>>170676464
Do you mean a bell curve distribution?

>>170676408
Using a pickup button + the weapon slot that the thing being picked up is to be assigned to makes perfect sense to me. It avoids any way of picking up a gun accidentally and it obviates the need for any kind of menu where the player assigns a gun to a slot.

Honestly it seems like the most ideal solution to me, but what the fuck do I know.

>>170676587
yes and thank you.

>>170676464
Add a bunch of random numbers and average, or do the mathematical shorthand for it if you can be arsed to.
The more randoms, the more centered curve.

>>170676641
F is a weird key to use as a modifier, I think it might be more natural if we use ctrl

for gamepad, I think we'll just assign the shoulder buttons to pick things up

>>170676464
Play more tabletop games. Try to make a few.

Hey, I dunno how to play PMP.
I'm assuming I need friends to play and I can't really set that up

>>170677029
abso fuckin lutely my dude

But it's /agdg/ culture, you no fun allowed shitter.

>>170676939
yes and the only cure is progress.

>>170676939
You're going to get an abscessed tooth, and then the infection is going to spread and you're going to have meningitis and your brain will swell up and you'll die. Be sure to leave a note to whoever finds your body so they can let us know that you aren't going to finish your game.

Or maybe your tooth will just fall out. I don't know dude.

I'm too lazy to visit other webpages, so I really appreciate all the blogposts. Great job!

>>170677274
yeah its online only. but i dont have money to buy a real time server from unity

its 1400 bucks a month for a good one and 500 for a low bones bare minimun one.

you could try to make it work via hamachi here. i would join and maybe anons would too.

oh god i just found out another way to optimize my lighting system

time for rewrite #5

i'll be 30 in a few years

Here we go, finally submitted
Mechanically the same, but the UI has had a major overhaul and I haven't had much time to test so it's going to break a lot

>>170677559
did you know premature optimization is the root of all evil?

>>170649597
The only assets I would buy are for shit you just don't care to learn about. For example, I bought a grid framework because I'd rather work on my game than wrangle with math.

Daily Daily Reminder

art is a talent not something you can learn to be good at

its actually both

>>170678113
You don't have to reply to every poor quality post, you know that right?

>>170677957
nah you can view art pretty mathematically. it's about recreating things that already exist, shadows and colours have rules to them.

>>170677663
Going through games now actually. I will add it to my folder and play it next then leave feedback!

Thanks for playing!
You can actually warp to four other star systems using the S and W keys, and there's another planet you can land on, but the HUD currently gives you zero feedback about where you're going, so I didn't include this stuff in the intro text.

>>170677550
Sure, hold on. I probably won't play for too long though.

So far the config menus (both window size and sound) have this glitch in them just as a quick fyi

Hey, thanks for giving it a try. It's pretty much the reaction I expected to get, so I'm 50/50 on whether I should've skipped DD to polish it up more, but overall I think it was a good thing.

Mostly because I probably would've skipped DD and then kept nodevving.

>>170677663
just played for a few minutes.
some observations:
>I really like the nice atmosphere / graphix, I found the colour pallete soothing.
>I found that the beginning till you get the axe is quite long-ish for me, I got a little bit bored since there were no new concepts after a few rooms as i've seen the key - door mechanic a thousand times, I wished there was something else to do besides pushing stones around, either more challenging monsters to run away from as you have no weapon or solving real puzzles as i felt like I was in a walking simulator in a few rooms.
>tl;dr I liked the progression but felt like there could be some other thing to do besides as it felt quite slow-ish.

it may sound nitpicky but I liked yours loads. gj.

art is about copying good artists and life, doing it a shit ton that your brain stores all these shorthands for stuff that you can just plop on a page at will

t. starting drawing 3 years ago and can sum up what i learned to that. it really is just putting pencil to paper and trying different things until your drawings look good

not denying talent though, some people really do have it easier naturally and will put in far less work that you. don't listen to artists that tell you talent isn't real or everything they did is hard work, some people are born with it.
