Holy fucking shit, I said its brand is FROM 1927, not that it was only made in 1927.

Fucking kill yourself you stupid unity using nodev, I can dev circles around you like it was fucking nothing, I'd open up codeblocks and made several quake clones before you even drag your first drop. I'm sick of copy-paste kiddies like you shitting up indie game development, thinking your hot shit when all you ever did was download model and code assets.

>>171352829
Most games don't need it. I do because most of my game is text and the reason to play a lot of the game is for a well-structured and thought out experience.

When you've got something like 3-5 hours of gameplay/narrative to construct, you really need to have a well-worked out structure. Unless you're just a natural at writing, I guess.

I'm not, so I use Dramatica to help me ensure everything knits well together. Or, well, as well-knitted as I can get it to be.

yes, make sure to turn that rectangle into 4 tris otherwise you have a 5-gon on your hands and that does not animate well if at all

I love that glitch where Game Maker repeatedly opens and closes several hundred times, won't let you kill the process, and persists even after you restart the entire computer.

This Monogame glitch is pissing me off, Texture2D.GetData only works when the map is first loaded, anytime after that and it returns transparent values.

>>171355351
i had something similar with gm8.1 creating dozens of tray icons and remaking its own process dozens of times making it difficult to kill, but that's about it

>>171355342
why 4 tris instead of 3?

>>171355552
3 would also work, sorry i'm tired

>>171355631
Cool, just thought there might be some deformation reason why 4 was preferred

>>171355445

8.1 does that frequently and runs out of memory and 1.4 refuses to let me view the properties on many sprites/objects/rooms etc.

I think you should stop or reduce the wavy distortion when it gets to the main menu. I could see some people not realizing that they've reached a playable part

Waviness is shit but the status messages are cool

It might be because you are using hotkeys to start/stop the software? All I can think of is try to put the software window to the side and manually click into it to turn it on and off.

I think it's time for you to use Panda3D instead of Unity/UE4.

>>171365809
It's one too many layers. You've negated the point of having an elemental damage and resistance system in the first place: attack it with a different element.

>>171365897
name 2 successful mainstream games made with this so called Panda3d engine

>>171365890
They would be limited, but they won't get to 100% effectiveness. That's just an example that's clear in how it works.

>>171365913
But what if the boss resists all elements, shutting out your mage? I actually don't have any neutral elemental spells. I'm not against removing it altogether, but I feel like I'd need some good reasoning for that.

>>171365570
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPzxwNlA6mQ

>>171365951
None, because you crabs are too busy letting yourselves be cucked by DRM heavy engines.

All the more reason to use Panda; you will stand out more. It's at least worth a look.

>>171366065
Don't make a boss that resists all elements?

Think about why you're adding the systems in the first place. If everything has super high resistances, you just force the player to get weapons with resistance piercing. It's a retarded meta, with extra lines of text and abilities and stats to comprehend, all for net zero change.

Could character models like the ones from Ni no Kuni be box modeled?

What software should I get if I wanted to make similar looking characters/environments?

>>171366293
Adding piercing is actually because of such considerations, because you have to give up something else that could potentially be more useful like int boosts or mp regen. Choices and all that.

>>171366513
>>171366584
But piercing is a tool to deal with that. Plenty of RPGs have bosses that magic does fuck all to. I'm not sure I'll wind up ever doing that, but that was again, just an example.

>>171366804
>Plenty of RPGs have bosses that magic does fuck all to.
And also have non magic/elemental alternatives to go along with it.

>>171367015
Are you confused, anon? There's still swords and stuff. Just because all magic is elementally aligned doesn't mean all attacks are.

What do you lads think of an Active Battle System game with a tactical rpg mode for boss battles?

>>171367387
Honestly, I'd say that's rather shitty, because you're suddenly making 2 games in one, and have to do two. Players are bound to like one or the other instead of both, as well. So basically, don't chase two rabbits, pick one or the other to catch.

>>171366801
Blender is free and you can make those models in blender. Unity is free and you can use shaders to get a cel-shaded effect.

When it comes to Adobe Software, is Photoshop the only thing in the creative cloud really useful for gamedev?

>>171366801
Software is irrelevant. You have two choices:

1. Paint all lighting onto textures like Atelier series do but you'll need good artists for it to look good.

2. Use toon shader and tryhard with custom normals on your meshes. Go watch GGXrd GDC talk for that.

Is it harder to make a videogame in 2d, 2.5(diablo/poe) or 3d?

What exactly would the point be? It's one step under "do anything you want", which disqualifies it as a good theme. Or are you senseless enough to think that making a game about lolis is something thematically substantial? I'm triggered by a shit theme, not lolis.

>>171368363
well-fitting doesn't really make sense for a nerd, frankly

>>171369383
You keep missing the point, man. Lolis is shit as a jam theme. Most agdg themes are, because they are "add an x to a game" and the only challenge there is to make/find the proper asset. Rush Jam is a way better idea, but nobody takes it seriously because of the stupid name.

>>171369638

This is such a disgustingly obvious question.

>>171368824
Depends on how many animations the game has. If it has many of them, then 2d is very difficult and time consuming, I'd say, but without many animations, 3d is harder.

For fighting games for example 2d would be definitely harder, because tend to pay so much attention to very detailed animations.

It isn't fair.

>>171370902
CC is a cunt to pirate for some reason. If you're doing dev for real and not just a nodev it's worth it. GIMP is actual garbage in almost every single way.

>>171371310
Not huge enough if you've already got it and aren't working professionally.

I don't like this subscription bullshit though. How big of an upgrade is CC over CS6?

>>171371352
I don't already have it. I'm pondering whether or not to buy a full version of CS6 or get the CC yearly subscription.

Surprisingly, not an easy task to get this dropdown box working properly. The default Unity dropdown box code insisted on showing the choices upwards, without any scrollbar. It also created a new copy of the choices each time you opened the dropdown box (instead of reusing the existing one), which slowed down the game each time you opened it. Thankfully, it's in C# so I made changes, I also started making use of Text Mesh Pro since it became free in the asset store.

>>171373557
Start by following BornCG and Blender Guru's beginner tutorials.

>>171373738
>BornCG
Thank you, he actually explains shit.

>>171373557
Your head proportions are atrocious but the legs look fine. Elongate the torso. Drop the waist back a bit. Give more room between the tits and the pussy and add a bit more vertices to the torso in general. Also I wouldn't apply smoothing shading to everything. Just work in flat shading and then apply it later to check progress.

It's like 60% of the way to a good beginner model. Keep at it.

But if you do decide to scrap it and start over, start over fresh and follow a tutorial like >>171373738 said.

>>171369383
Themes are not for restriction, but for cohesion.

>>171374265
But in a jam the goal of the themes is to place restrictions on devs to encourage creativity. Then again, thats something that would work way better if the theme was a surprise for the devs, or we had shorter jams.

>>171368363
The B, mostly because there's the word "teenager"

>>171374514
Except it's not. Just look at the past AGDG jams. I can't point a single one that even attempted to impose restrictions because that's not the point of jams. The themes are intended as a form of aggregating the jam games together. When you saw a space game during space jam you cold instantly recognize it as a space jam game. This is what makes it a good theme. The same applies to halloween, winter, dino.And this is what makes loli a good theme.

>>171368363
>hard black on internal outlines
NOT VOTING

>>171374678
And that's why in my opinion most agdg jams are shit. If you can make arcanoid or tetris clone and put a loli on it and call it a proper game for loli jam. there is no creativity there, much less a challenge.

Did you buy Claire's Udemy Tutorial on Blender? :3

what do you guys think about stencil shadowing in FPS games like FEAR?
I would like to use it because it doubles as a visual effect and a gameplay mechanic, but alot players seem to find the visual side to be ugly to the extent they say a game looks bad, which would be problematic as graphics will be a feature

Do you believe there is such a thing as diminishing returns on effort put into making something look and feel natural?
When I've played Witcher 3, I came to a dreadful realization that I'm almost completely ignoring the fidelity of the game world, unless something goes wrong.
They've put insane amount of work into making it look and act the way it is and I feel that it ironically goes completely underappreciated because of it.

players don't recognize the hours of work put into it, but the "world feel" is something they do appreciate, and while witcher is described as "open world" players are always directed in their path of travel, so it's more like an ant farm, players will most explore everywhere and are not able to go where content hasn't been placed. so everything put into the world is seen by the player at somepoint, so no work is wasted. and that's reflected atleast in metacritic if not sales

I think the best solution would be to get some shit job like a parking garage night security guard so i can just dev during work time while "watching" the security cameras, but jobs like that don't come easy, because i'm not the only lazy cunt who wants them, but my advantage is that i am willing to be paid pennies and live on bread and water

Even a small game will take you 10 years to finish like that.
Game dev is incredibly time demanding. The bare minimum would be 3 hours/day with 4 - 5 being the ideal amount to make good progress. You can do that with a full time job if you aren't stupid enough to marry and have kids of course. But when you worke 8 hours it's hard to come home to your "second" game dev job

>>171378223
Death is a fifth dimension population control contracted out by the CIA.

>>171378223
>>171378510
Killing is just a business. No person can not die without being escorted or killed by death by a Reaper. Even old people will be smothered and killed by someone contracted to do so.

In the game, Reaper family is just one of the few businesses. Yours takes care of "accidental" deaths or coincidences, but you need to make it happen obviously.

>>171378223
Waiting for them to die of old age just means he has to kill them later. There is no death without the reaper.

>>171378606
You could have gone with the "it's just a game, bro" and it would have been fine with me, but this just raises more questions. What happens to people after they are old if nobody reaps them?

this is such a fucking joke

is this adobe astroturfing or something?

how about you actually go get a law degree and learn what you are talking about, retard.

First of all, it is not illegal to use cracked adobe software.

Secondly, the files that you create are yours alone unless they are derivative or contain a substantial copyright work, for example if adobe put a large peom into the file format and claimed that this means that if you share the .psd then you need their permission for copyright on their poem which is embedded in part of the .psd file layout.

Except something retarded like that wouldn't actually hold up in court and adobe would be shit out of luck.

The only way you can be persecuted is if you redistribute to other people copies of adobe software, or if you share cracking tools as that would be a DMCA violation.

but if someone gives you a copy of cracked adobe software you can use that and proudly admit it and you have 0 legal liability

>>Karin: The interview question I never expected to get was, “If you had 24 hours on a holodeck, what would you do?” I stopped, paused and then responded with, “I don’t think I can actually tell you what I would do in a job interview.” The reply was, “That’s the right answer.”
What the fuck sort of interview process is this? That's absurd.

The advice is good. I only quoted it because I found it funny how one went
>"Start on your project instead of learning"
And the other
>"Keep learning".

can i use an array to check for a single variable? and can that array update "dynamically"? i did some reading and all the array examples seem to check specific slots in the array instead of the entire thing.

what i'm trying to do would look like

babiesfirstarray = pepe;

if (babiesfirstarray = pepe) {
babaiesfirstarray += wojak;
}
if (babiesfirstarray = wojak) {
do thing;
}

but sometimes the array would be empty, other times it might have 5 different values. also i'm sure my syntax is wrong.

That question is looking for "culture fit" - will this person get along well with the rest of the team? Obviously not all the questions are going to be like this.

Just because you aren't a fan of a 80's TV show full of people in gay pajamas, shouldn't rule you out as a gamedev.

>>171381752
You mean you want to check if a particular value is present in the array? Like your array is [1, 2, 4, 8] and you want to check "is 4 in the array" (= true) or "is 5 in the array" (= false)?

I don't know GML but usually there is a "contains" method, or an "in" operator ("if (the_value in the_array) ..."). In some languages there is only an "indexOf" method, which gives you the index where it found the thing if it's present, or returns a special value such as -1 if it didn't find the thing.

>>171381752
Are you trying to check for an == value between a var and an element of the array?

like:
int x = 5
if array[0] == x) thing;

?

You dweebs need to learn how the real world works. It doesn't matter how much of a 1337 hacker coding god you are if you're impossible to work with. A cooperative attitude and good synergy is literally more valuable than a high level of skill in a team environment.

Yeah, and that leads to fantastic results, I'm sure.

yeah i'm just checking the array to see if it has the value i'm looking for.

i'm also trying to add values to the array without specifying which slot.

is using an array the correct way to do this?
