Who else here a BASIC bitch?

So does anybody here has a young open source game people could contribute to?

Little GTA(1/2)-style car mechanic. Blue blocks to give you an anchor as to the position of the car in the world

Controls:

Up Arrow - Forward
Down Arrow - Backward
Left arrow - steer left
right arrow - steer right
space - brake

Tell me how you guys feel about how it steers/controls. I'm thinking of making the fulcrum of the steering a bit closer to the center of the car (not at the center though. Fulcrum must be in the rear)

>>170908226
Pretty cool but maybe you could have him rotate as he goes up and down, as a cool gimmick

>>170908313
i have never played VVVVVV in my entire life. Though I liked the guy's other game (super hexagon)

>>170908419
yep, that's the plan.
Originally I wanted the entire world to actually rotate but I got put off by the math it would need because I'm lazy

>>170908425
>>170908226
That's literally VVVVVV and it already spawned a thousand of clones back when it was released so don't expect this to be anything other than a programming exercise.

>>170907120
>people find it
amoung the other 2 billion games on the play store?

less than 2% of all of then were downladed and played ONCE

>>170908587

One could argue that quality titles are more likely to rise to the top, but without having ever checked it myself my assumption is that the play store doesn't actually have a single good game on it.

>>170908573
I see no problems here
If I abandon this soon then too bad, let it live long enough then good for me.

Gonna add more features though to give it some more flavor so stay tuned my dudes

Daily reminder that you'll never make it and your ideas are derivative of other, actually good games. Give up on your dreams now and become a web dev for $15/hr

>>170908795
There are actually plenty of nice gems but you will have to deal with the billions of practically illegal virus-like bullshit games that force you to pay hundreds of dollars to continue playing or spam you with ads.

Google actively promotes this shit too since it gives them ad revenue.

You read tutorials and practice.

Is there anyone here that has actually learned to create music based on tutorials? Same question for art. I know there are some that learned programming, but programming is easy.

>>170911216
discipline, motivation, passion, persistence, the spark that makes you human, the driving force that tells you that you can be better than you are

but not talent, that's a meme

Anyone know of an example of a 3d game that captures the 80s cartoon feel (like He-Man) in its shaders? Most toon shaders either look like anime or comic book.

488KB, 412x280px

Doing some clean up scripting, changed the way item tooltips are handled - originally it created a new object every time it moused over. Now it uses the same tooltip object but just disables it when you leave the slot and activates it and changes the info when you mouse over a new one.

This is a change that is completely unnoticable from the players perspective - outside of fixing a very rare bug that sometimes led to the tooltip not unloading correctly.

Reported sicko

What's the appropriate way to deal with on button being used in multiple contexts? For example, "E" is my goto "use" button. The psuedocode is like

If E is pressed, line trace from camera and get hit object.

If door, door.interact
else if switch, switch.toggle
else if weapon, weapon.pickup
else if npc, npc.dialogue
else do nothing

This works fine, but having all these nested "else if" statements bothers me.

Here's the reality. You can't art. You need art for your game. I am an artist, and I'm looking for a programmer. I just need to know a few things before we begin. Now, let's cut the bullshit and get started.

- Hardly anyone used the max upgrade options I left in the Shrine. I will have to make them activated by default for next demo
- Completely reworking the major scoring mechanic to be more accessible to casual/beginner players who otherwise would never get the chance to use it

You can easily screw up performance in 2d by ending up with too many drawcalls due to how you've structured your code. A 2D game can easily put out 500 drawcalls per frame in a scenario like this, which means that old computers would perform pretty poorly.

Demoday: you post a playable demo of your game on demo day, and farm sweet (you)s. every two months iirc
recap day: just post a changelog of your progress. This is more to force yourself to make progress every week

How do I not get pissed off with myself while I practice drawing? I don't really get mad at much but drawing consistently drives me up the fucking wall to the point where I have nothing but a headache and an empty canvas.

Has anybody else had this issue? How did you get over it?

>>170919074
Monday Recap: You post progress you've made in your game in a specified format, and some friendly collects it all and makes a nice compilation picture.

Demo Day: Every now and then someone needs new assets, so they "host a demo day" where you are supposed to post your game so he can rip all your sound and art from the files for himself. Its a trap and you shouldn't do it.

I guess the fact that I'm bad at it. I have very strong ideas and images in my head but the moment it comes to putting them down I can't seem to actually make it work.

Like with programming there's some indication of what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it, even if I can't work it out there'll be a tutorial somewhere.

Drawing on the other hand: I just can't seem to get to work and I get so uncomfortably angry I don't know what to do with it. I'm just not living up to my own standards and don't know how to work towards them.

I don't know if I have the time to work towards them either.

>>170919914
Inverting gravity is a concept that existed before videogames, and MM5's gravityman's stage has very little to do with VVVVVV since the gravity switchers are just static elements and not actually part of the player's movement set.

Call/response is really just 'here's a key for interpreting what I'm about to tell you and giving me a response. Here's my call- what's your response?'

You're trying to have a conversation through a mutually shared cipher.
One side gives you 'a call' and you use the cipher to interpret it and give an according response.

From your spoiler I can see it was more of a reduction puzzle, where you eliminate options until you're left with a singular answer. However, reduction puzzles don't really work until the solver sees what you're going for and can be easily mistaken as more of a cipher than a reduction puzzle which is what happened here.

I presumed you were giving me an answer key to interpret what the top row of flowers but really you were just using that row as the needed contrast to provide the correct answer. Categorizing the puzzle for the solver in some fashion will help a lot of people come to that answer a lot faster.

Personally I don't like puzzles that obfuscate what their intended solution path is - it ought be obvious and if it can't be obvious, should be in some way explained. For me the fun isn't in the 'what sort of puzzle is this', it's 'how does I resolve this, knowing how the thing works'.

>>170922238
There's no real pattern in it though? Seems like you can get completely different results based on what you match on so eventually you'd get the correct solution but would require a lot of trials.

How about this idea...a competitive thief-style stealth game.

Gameplay would be about breaking in and stealing as many valuables as possible. The catch is that there are multiple theives going for the goods. Probably 2-4 players. Players can't directly harm each other, but they might have gadgets that can hinder progress. Players must evade armed guards and other hazards and escape with the most valuables. If a player is killed by guards, he automatically loses.

>>170922465
Yeah, transitions aren't in yet, and the ripples were way too huge looking, so cant really blame you.

Incidentally, I think this is the first time I've ever had anyone apologize to me on 4chan, and I've been coming here for roughly 12 years.

I made the first flower on the bottom green because people tend to gravitate to color first, theres no others that are green so you get 6. The second one has two leaves and theres no others with two leaves so you get 1. The third has three petals so you get 1 again. The last one is straight up on the bord as the only red with 4 pedals so you get 4.

>>170923107
I'm sorry other anons have been asses to you, anon.
Chan culture has changed from its original 'snarky, self-deprecating humor' over time to 'in this place, become the asshole'.

>>170922238
What you're saying makes sense for the first, second, and third digits, and I think the way you've implemented it such that you have two different symbols to represent the same digits (the second and third digit) is clever.

What's the deal with the fourth digit, though? All of the traits that the fourth flower has appear in more than one of the cypher flowers; it has no unique traits of its own. Sure, cypher flower 4 is the only one that has all the same traits as the fourth flower-to-be-translated, but that's not the logic of the previous three flowers. I don't get it or it's using bad puzzle logic.

i kind of meant that i felt sorry for you instead of apologising for what i said

but you can think that i was apologising to you if you want

I have a 2d character walking through a 2d room in a house similar to castlevania.

My goal is to have the room placement be randomly shuffled each time you die with an entry foyer area remaining constant.

How would you recommend I go about this in gamemaker?

k I'm gonna go with "bad puzzle logic" then

Just because it's random doesn't mean it's a roguelike

That's like saying any platformer that involves jumping is a megamanlike

You could always use an array or ds_grid to store room id's. If your engine is flexible enough, some of the data structures can be shuffled, making randomizing the rooms easier.

Just assume the player's position is a cell in that grid, depending on what room he's in, and if the player exits through the East door, it checks what room ID is stored in the next room over in the grid.

What do YOU dev on?

Laptop?
Custom PC?

basically, I'm asking the specs of our systems. might be interesting to learn what everybody is doing this on.

anon did you get sprites for those mechs yet?

>>170923608
That wasent me that posted the song, the last one was suppose to be inspired by the witness where the puzzle gets increasingly more complex as you go on and now at the end there is a flower with two elements you have to match instead of one. I thought it was pretty forgiving because its just straight up the same exact flower as the one on the bottom.

Nah, artist did some tiles for later in the stage first. They'll probably come either next or after the second miniboss's sprite gets finished.

These placeholder guys are still cute, though.

Custom-built PC, nothing too fancy

AMD FX-8350
16GB RAM

1.5TB WD Black (plus some externals for backups)

I have a decent Huion drawing tablet I use as well, but not too often since most of what I do is pixel stuff

The Witness didn't invent difficulty progression, you know...

>>170924034
Depending how you interpret it, the last one's trait could be that ots the only one that contains all the elements as the last.
