>>171411712
If you have a fanbase: Devname
If you don't have a fanbase: Game name.

People are more liable to remember your game's name than your name - and you want to ingrain in their heads the name of your game anyway so that they remember it later.

But if you have an established fanbase, give it your name because people will be searching you up and may find you naturally -- letting you recover more of your fanbase for your next project.

loved your demo. Who are we? how big is your team?

Best way to save multiple types of variables for each character in Unity C#?

For example, say I have multiple characters. I want to store job, name, etc., for each character. How would I store that so I can save and load each character?

>>171411261
You do it considering a standard gamer computer will have 4 to 8 threads, like normal human beings.

>>171412687
Can't help you anon, nobody here uses Unity, this is enginedev central.

>>171411253

Who else /enginedev in C/?

>>171412687
I don't use Unity, but can't you just add a method that serializes the class? That means: a method that puts all the values of all the class' variables in a single string.

>>171413047

>>171413169
Yeah I have code to serialize and deserialize classes so I can save them or w/e but I'm not sure what the best way to group them is.

I'm actually using this for levels. Not sure why I used characters in my example there. Each level will have collectibles and I'm looking to figure out how to organize them/group them together to save all of them to my save file.

>>171412687
Just save it to a txt file where the string is all 1 chunk of information with a separator delinating the different types of information.

IE chararacter 1 is -1-James-2-Dawson-3-Mage-5-600-7-434
character 2 is -1-Dorthy-2-etcetcetc

You may want a piece of information that is that characters id.

Then, each of those numbers line up to a piece of information that you were searching for, and you just run a loop that goes through the information and looks for "-#-" when rebuilding your characters at the start of the game.

When creating the shotgun reload loop, how do you prevent the shell from sliding back down the hand?

I've tried having 1 frame the shell is up and then the next frame the shell is immediately down, but later in game it still tweens.

is there a trick for this? Multiple shells?

The shell stays in the gun after it's put in, then at the beginning of the loop it starts below the camera. That way nomatter how the engine interpolates the animation it will pop down below the camera at the beginning of the animation and not interpolate it sliding down.

Oh, another way to do it is to scale the shell to 0 after it is inserted (or in my case since Unreal doesn't play nice with 0 scale, 0.0001 or something not noticable) then scale it back to 1 when the shell is in the right place to start being loaded in again.

Weird, I have a script that loops the animation but that is what happens here.

Oh, my animation sequence for shotguns (or anything single loaded) is In > Loop > Out so there's no skipping like that, and no required hand to go down and go back up if it's interrupted.

In: Weapon and hand go to position where the loop starts
Loop: Weapon gets loaded, returns to the same position the loop started in
Out: Weapon goes from where the loop starts back to the idle pose

It's not much more work (basically just splitting up the animation you already have would work). I use this same system for full auto firing. I also have firing animations and pump animations separated.

What would you say if I told you I never used the curve editor once for that whole set?

My workflow consists more of manually placing/adjusting keyframes.

>>171416278
Yeah, that could work, basically as far as the Animator in unity is concerned, I made partial and full reload animations work with an AR15 then created a shotgun prefab, added in the scripting for incremental loading.

The AR15 had a reload full and then reload partial, so if you are empty, you play the "put the shell in the upper chamber directly" animation then it moves to the regular animation, however the regular animation is what I posted above.

So in total, for procedural loading weapons I need to have :

In (partial)
In (empty)
loop
out

Makes sense.

For the manual shell load I just have that return to idle in case the player interrupts while it's playing. So really it's Shell Insert > Idle > In > Loop > Out. But you could do it that way as well.

I'm working on a Kar98 soon and it will do what you said there. Since when there's a round still in, when he pulls the bolt, I'll have to have him catch that round and put it back. It'll also have two loops. For that it'll be this:

In (partial where the round is caught and put back)
In (empty)
Loop (clip)
Loop (single)
Out

FBX is best (really the only viable solution) for animation exporting to Unreal.

As far as I know there's no way to toggle on/off mags following the weapon without using child of constraints. Link constraints in Max don't have the issue of deciding to randomly move the bone and having to manually place it when it decides to do that.

>>171418538
It's not a money issue, it's the issue of learning a new software and I'm so bogged down with client work right now that I don't have the time to switch over from a hotkey based program to a non-hotkey based program. I used Max to make a Fallout 4 mod and had a hell of a time.

>>171420134
Not sure you get what I mean. When you want the mag (or anything) to not follow the weapon, you need to set the bone up as a child of constraint instead of a child. When you key the constraint from 1 to 0 it moves the bone's position.

>>171419828
Because the proportions between the pixel art and the portrait are different-- the pixel art is more chibi-like, so the head is bigger and rounder when compared to the rest of the body.
And cus it's cute anon.

The opposite directions are the result of the 'bounce' I was going for, like with a lot of scott pilgrim NPC sprite animations, but I'm thinking I might just go for a subtle breathing thing like >>171420190 (thanks) said

Also, I have no idea how Undertale got away with blatantly using so many samples from SNES games, but I don't want to take the risk of getting the pants sued off me, so I spent some of today building a new soundfont from scratch.

>>171406384
>What do you show people?
You start by having an intention of what you want to accomplish with the game that people have reason to pay attention to (a "hook"). Once you have that you can go about figuring out how to communicate it.

Saying "how do I go about getting people interested in my uninteresting game" is really not asking the right question.

If you're hellbent on the style of game you had in mind with little or no twists to the established concept added in there, at least you can identify those aspects of the design you decide are most important and find ways to emphasize those things in the design. Then you can better get those things across e.g. in the context of a trailer.

Ex: if finding secret passageways is important to the overall experience then make some really snazzy animations that reveal said passageways. Make it memorable. Make it feel good. Make it "pop."

Thank you! Just what I was hoping for! You are great!
I'm not that good or creative with backgrounds, tho.

>>171422760
what engine?

>>171422779
I guess when dude who created the monster is shitting himself running away from it, it can be considered a real success.
Seriously man, that thing is fucking terrifying, especially how you see just two unassuming small eyes and that fucking thing emerges from the darkness, I hope you make more.

I am just glad you like the character! It lets me know that maybe I am not entirely on the wrong path here. Maybe sometime in the future as things get further along I can make a nice set of wallpapers with characters and one of them will look nice to you. Happy devving, anon, and thank you for continuing to believe in me!

Chloe archives the memories and information that flow into the city. These are soaked up by the large tree at it's center and this data is engraved into the bark. There is a lot to actually explain about what is going on but I won't blogpost about it so the thread doesn't get weighed down. I will do my best to explain everything in game though!

Well, thanks for the lore lesson, I was asking about your screen, but no matter.
It's better this way.

If a game has characters with customizable appearances (hair, outfit, etc), which is it easier to make animations for, 2d pixel characters or low-poly 3d characters?

The way her pose was draw it already looks like her legs are fully extended. So bouncing up and down like that is kinda off putting.
Try having her lean back slightly with the motion instead of just bouncing up and down.
Also, from the way she seems to be moving, it seems like it should probably just be her upper body moving, with minor forward and backward sway with her hips and legs.
Hopefully I explained this well enough to help

>>171424515
Low-poly 3d.

You'll have to animate every single outfit otherwise. 3d lets you use the same rig.

>>171424515
I'm sure you didn't make that but it looks like utter dog shit.

I would love to have characters with clothing you can change, even mix and match, but I have no idea how would I actually implement it in a 2D game.
I understand you have to animate literally every sock and bra and everything separately to do every single action character does, but how do you slap them on the character according to what the player picked, make it play all the animations as the body in perfect unison and generally stay in place, and keep it there, until he picks something else?

>>171424967
you should never clone a clone, that can only lead to degenerative results

>>171423585
Nah, I actually have a monitor with that as a max resolution. And a Windows 8.1. I would like to upgrade my monitor tough.

>>171423696
Thanks again, and godspeed!

Gamedeving is just cloning other games and putting everything taken from all other games there is nothing new in gamedeving

>>171424540
Yeah that makes sense, and I'm taking that into account while I bring down the bounce to a breathing animation. I'm having a bit of a rough time with figuring out *how* much animation I want in the pixel art. I could just remove almost all of it and just >muh art style

>>171425154
there are tricks you use like putting things on different layers.

but the only sane option for customization is to render your sprites from 3d models.

>>171425154
I would animate the character as a series of color IDs and replace the IDs with textures in engine. Details like shadows and highlights would be animated separately and multiplied on the character so the shading only has to be done once.

Hair and accessories can be attached as separate sprites.

>>171425454
This is the arguement that is made in the art world "no art is new".

What matters is the experience the person viewing the art has, not the originality of the piece itself.

if you're getting shit done, it's all good
although, you don't need to necessarily get shit done today, it's a time to celebrate

>>171414632
I just want to befriend all you self pitying devs and lift you up and give you a friend that cares.

>>171426649
A lot of work and dedication. I wish I could find an artist that good to hire to make my models...I'd pay a good premium.

Come back in a few years.

Anyone have any tips on making a dash like one you'd find in a Platinum game or something like Bloodborne?

Is fan art anon still around?

>>171428186
no, and game dev anon left us too.
how the fuck should we know who you're talking about?

>>171427021

Are those jnco jammies?

>>171428067
Root motion is how I'd deal with any kind of special movement. (i.e. attack, ladders, dash, roll, etc)

UE4's montages are perfect for this kind of thing.

>>171428332
It's the anon that was doing fan art for everyone a few threads ago you newfriend

>>171428439
to be fair there were a few anons who did requests lately so it'd be far easier to identify them if you actually posted their art

>>171427773
I don't even want to make a game to sell on steam I just want to make a game where you run and jump
All I accomplished until now is clones of shit like pong, space invaders and etc
But making a game in which there is a level and a camera and you can pause, each of those adds several layers of complexity I have to figure out but I always get so fucking mentally exhausted before figuring out any of those
I actually tried to get into game dev several times in my life but I always give up too soon and start from the beginning on the next try
Sorry for the blog

Anon was inquiring the day before about the speed of regenerating Burst because being low on power is no fun. This just quickly shows the current regen speed after losing 2 flames (the more flames you have the faster you regenerate lost ones and losing all of them really would have to be a personal decision since you cannot lose them after taking a hit now)

The structure of the code is usally what gets me. Do I give each entity it's own content manager or do I put it in the game manager and pass it in on content load? Do I put the audio manager inside of the game manager (and if so how do I access it through entities?) or do I make it static or singleton?

needless to say not much progress has been made
