Godot or GMS2?

Why did you replace all the engine link with tools.aggydaggy.com/engines
But you didn't replace all the asset links with tools.aggydaggy.com/assets
Why did you add webm links instead of just linking to tools.aggydaggy.com/tools

Why even have all of those links at all when all of them are covered with just tools.aggydaggy.com

When I do that, at least two of you shitters will waste valuable time with nodev.

>>171785515

>>171785460
Godot is better overall, but a bit harder to get into. GMS is restrictive, but is more retard friendly.

>>171785460
If you know how to gamedev, use Godot.
If you don't and want to rely on the availability of tutorials, pick GM. I wouldn't necessarily recommend to pick up 2 this early in its development, but I haven't tried it yet.

I don't think we had the same version.

I want to start a new game but I don't even know where to begin because I've been working on the same project for like 3 years and now I have a boyfriend who's a really popular furry artist and he wants to make a comfy game with furry characters and I'm doing it in C++ which I've never used before and I'm failing my courses in school and I still don't have a job

That's not exactly a lot of room for tits. With clothing you could probably use a monoboob shadow to indicate bustage. Doubt you can do it in nude mode. 5 pxs chest width would probably allow for better symmetry; 4 pxs would have either off-center stuff or 2 pxs for what should really be just 1.

This is what I can't get right, since I am a not!artist from the far away land of /tg/.

>Looks like he's using invisible rollerblades due to the angled feet.
These are quite interesting for you pointing out. Will try to fix it, although with clothes and walking in an environment I (would like to) think that this doesn't show up much.

>Both sprites have that shadow around the undies that makes the legs look kinda detached.
Undies are only for me to guide myself when spriting, since this isn't saw with a clothed one.

>>171788207
That's not black, but a darker shade of darkest dark. And I prefer a blac... uh, dark outline to detach the characters from the environment.

Thank you both for the tips.

Got the first NPC (well, Subcommander Fiste was the first, but he's a special case since he's a move-teaching asset I'll be reusing. This is the first level-specific NPC) set up for Grazin' Grotto: Brenda-Mae!

She's the owner of the ranch (cows incoming) that forms the cornerstone of the level, and who built all the drawbridges, and will give you core shards if you bring her feed for her cows as a little side-mission.

Her animations aren't finished, but they're pretty close. The dialogue system is as reusable and simple as I was hoping, so back-pats for me, but this will be where I learn how to do level-conditional dialogue for whether or not you've been assigned or completed her quest.

Please disregard the lack of mouth movement, I don't have the facial-texture animation system set up yet. Nor do I have a dialogue animation for Dixie, and I need one. Oh, and please ignore the fact that she's tilling nothing, I have an asset for tilled soil in-progress.

Dixie's full name revealed! It's Dixie Douglas. Her sister is Trixie Douglas. In case you cared

Actually, since you used AA, the colors went off, so even with just a couple of pixels, the color must be adjusted to see if it works as intended. That's why.

It's a fancy way of saying "if you don't routinely use a skill, its level decreases".

So like, experience decay on upgradeable skills.

You can't grind a skill up and keep it maxed, if you don't continue grinding it it will decrease over time. So basically, the only skills that stay high level are ones you continue to use.

>>171790813
Your character's skills degrade over time if not used. It's a mechanic that appears in some sandboxy games like CDDA.

The way I imagine doing it is have the skill go down linearly over time. Each skill would end up at an equilibrium point where how often the player exercises the skill matches the rate of degradation. Both the training speed and rust speed should be fairly low so you don't have huge fluctuations within a small time period. Otherwise you could have dumb stuff like "I make ten knives every day, I start my mornings at 5 smithing skill and end them with 10, and it goes back down to 5 after I sleep"

How do I make a hacking game?

I want the player to hack the NSA, hack area 51, hack the Russian elections as revenge, hack WikiLeaks and let them use a .gif to kill an epelectic and be sentenced to 30+ years in Guantanamo Bay.

I know C# and Unity and like to keep it light on the art and dialogue driven.

Give me your ideas you lazy fucks.

>>171791014
I see.
Personally, Punch Club had me frustrated doing this. The effect is worse when skills aren't mutually exclusive (to a point). For example, using one-handed versus two-handed swords. I wouldn't feel fucked by choosing one over the other, because that's just preference in playstyle. Having to decide between one-handed swords and lockpicking though is shit when you can't hack your way through doors on level 100 swordfighting.

>>171790603
Whoa! That's quite impressive! Really! Even with the added pixel width. Do you work with this? I'm willing to pay for a full spritesheet for both male and female, front, side and back versions, 3 frames each.

He keeps using progress he finds here without permission and giving no credit to give the illusion he's a successful yesdev in his monetized videos on Youtube.

Meanwhile his actual claim to fame is a Kaiji ripoff online rock paper scissors simulator that maybe ten people play.

He pissed off normies by making an achievement that could only be won by sending him money on PayPal. When they complained he gave them a cheat code that just wiped all their achievements instead.

Cause if you make art and then test the gameplay and need changes and the art isn't suitable anymore, you just wasted time making art.
Always use placeholders until you know 100% what you want.

Art is hard and I only have one artist aside from myself. I'm no amazing artist either, so it doesn't help since I'm still working on improving to do a better job.

Also, still deciding on final art for many things. All I've got are environment concepts, model WIPs and character designs.

thanks

I'm making an open-ended singleplayer game, but I'd like to collect data on player progress so I can see which bits people struggle with. I'd basically like to get the player's ingame location, personal stats (health, items etc) and quest progress every few seconds so I can see what I'm doing wrong in development. Is this an evil idea? I'm going to have an up front checkbox that asks the user if they're willing to give anonymous usage data. Is there any legal data protection red tape that I should be worried about? I'm in the UK which seems like the kind of place that would have laws about this shit.

Please confirm if this will work

I want to make it so attacks in my action game can't play at the same time, because right now they combine which leads to some wonky results.
The idea I have to solve this is to set the button inputs to set the "sort of attack" to a certain value and then broadcast an "attack input" message to the "attack execution script" that reads what attack needs to be executed by checking the "sort of attack", and then executing it. This will make all attacks go through that attack execution script, and since the script cannot run again until it is completed, this will make it so attacks aren't played at the same time.

However I want to manually set moments during which the attacks are cancellable. I'm not sure how I would do it yet, but if I use the above method would that still be possible or do I need some other way of doing it?

REV UP THAT PROGRESS, because I have had a productive night tonight.

+Adjusted timings for player punches. Previously, jabs were a 20 frame move with a hitbox that came out on frame 10. hooks were a 17 frame move with a hitbox that came out on frame 15. They both have been standardized to be 17 frame moves with hitboxes that come out on frame 10, making hooks feel less laggy and jabs have better recovery time.

+I made a script to generate enemy hurtboxes and guardboxes. Not visible in the webm is that each hurtbox has its own individual value for the amount of 'stun' damage the hurtbox has if you hit it and a modifier for damage taken. For instance, all enemy hurtboxes have a stun value of 3 at the laggy end of the move, meaning that if you hit the enemy they'll go into a stunned state tha lasts until you punch them 3 more times. The bottom-right active hurtbox has a stun value of 5 while the enemy's arm is raised and during the short motion where he's punching, meaning that if you've got the timing to counter him, you'll deal extra damage and get an extra 2 punches in for free during the enemy hitstun!.

>>171797486
bunch of enums on your character script

Idle, Acting, etc

only accept inputs during idle, accept cancel inputs during acting input to return to idle, etc

You don't have to get complicated, just have a single ChangeState method that calls ExitState, performing actions depending on the current state and EnterState which changes your currentState variable and performs any starter actions for the new state

Sup anon, I'm working on a hacking game where you hack the FBI, want to compare notes?

If I would give advise, it would be don't spend too much time simulating "real" computer workings, for the sake of accuracy. As long as its organized and easy to extend I'd go with the smoke and mirrors approach.

As for narrative approach, another dev mentioned they thought people stopped caring after about five words at a time, so big long emails you hack into are probably not the way to go. I have IM and irc-like rooms, so the conversation will naturally be more clipped

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=866099107

>>171799767
I'm sure it's not just an issue of shot width. You might not have to move to hit everything, but enemies generally get further down the screen. Compared to focusing down one side, then only having to dodge shots from the other. But you can hit bosses from anywhere, and don't have to follow them around, so that's a bonus.
Like everything else, depends on how you set up the patterns. Great feedback, huh?

I agree that stage layout/enemy spawn/patrols will have to play a big part in balancing her out. In general I am just wondering if giving her more field dominance is a good idea or if making a beginner player have to move around a bit and still work for the wins would keep them more interested.

I figure if I widen the shot any more than it already is I will have to drop the damage of each individual shot to compensate.

Why have 2d isometric "tycoon" games largely died out when everyone seems to love them?

>>171804939
That status bar kind of clashes with the rest of the art. Is there anyway to follow this game's development?

>>171805282
Nobody seems to bother anymore. Isometric was the stepping stone between 2D and 3D, and now that 3D has become easy to do, Isometric just faded away.
The Tycoon genre has moved on to DF and Prison Architect-likes.

>>171805282
Isometric is hard sometimes. Balancing tycoon gameplay is hard. Clicker-type mechanics are a huge pitfall and easy to fall in. Pretty hard to beat the classics, which a lot of people still play.

Kairosoft basically makes only isometric tycoons, but I'm sure they have a premade engine with magic numbers that work and they just reskin it.

I actually confused toom boom with another piece of shit software, my bad. Toon Boom is probably overkill for whatever you're planning to do, though. Whatever Adobe calls Flash now is probably the best for an amateur, and there's probably a lot of tools to get flash animation into modern engines, since it was widely used a few years ago.
A course on TB is even more overkill, if what you want to do is vidyo gam.

Maybe you don't, that doesn't mean it's not overkill.

>>171807610
I don't get how that's a problem. You can have both triggers communicate with each other to know if the other had an actor pass through it, and the location of the trigger can always vary.

Unless you care about the in-between both of them, then it would need more work.

So you're basically saying have one on one half that registers actor A has entered and then the other half of the 'goal' ring as a second volume that confirms when the actor has successfully exited?

>>171808204
Slow down there Speed Racer, wouldn't want to crash itch's servers.

>>171808280
Yeah, pretty much. If it can go both ways you can always do a double check in each trigger. If the other trigger has yet to register the actor, it gets registered in the current trigger. Otherwise, it means it's exiting and can be deleted from both.

It's an extremely simple solution though, and depending on your needs it may not be enough. You may need an trigger in between both that is checking that the actor is always on course, for example.

why is gamedev so difficult it literally is so much work and very challenging to figure out and execute well

Surely those disconnects were made in jest.

should a game developer try to use motion capture technology? especially considering the mass effect andromeda fiasco? i mean, it should be feasible to make a low-budget mocap rig for facial animations etc

Plenty of people make money off gamedev. It's not a hobby for me.

Inside the file window.h
#include "SOIL2/SOIL2.h" doesn't work

I recieve the error "Cannot open include file 'SOIL2/SOIL2/h'. No such file or diectory"
But it definately exists.

Help pls

There's an airport simulator pulling 20 bucks a pop in early access. It's barebones to say the least. People that don't make money off gamedev just need to stop making Endica clones.

>>171816296
nvm
the error was due to a completely unrelated error elsewhere

intellisense really is shit

Where in the fuck does GM have its default directory for reading and writing .inis/txt/json? The manual states its under &LocalAppData& but I'm in that bitch and I can't find the name of my project anywhere.

Wanted to test out loading data from .ini's and .jsons and seemingly I can't do it unless create the .ini from code to begin with, which defeats the purpose of why I would want to do it in the first place.

I learned from this. It builds up to A* by showing you some less efficient ways that you could implement even if you are a retard.

exactly.

I'm not saying there's no element of luck with getting the market right. and I know I might fail.

I'm just taking my shot young man.

There's 4 of these things. Each has anywhere between 5-35 folders within them. All have the exact same shit in there. The fuck is this shit?

gms games' folders are literally just their game's name

>>171817972
>>171818202

also try printing the "working_directory" string. It's the folder path of where gms puts all those files

I'm interested in doing a 2d RPG inspired by classic (B/X) D&D. Should I go for GMS, RPGMaker, or something else.

I'd like to have hex or tile-based overland movement and marching order-based combat (first rank can attack with any weapon, 2nd only with things like spears, 3rd with ranged weapons). The focus would be an exploration and loot acquisition.

tl;dr AppData\Roaming is used to store information that may interact with the internet, whereas AppData\Local and Appdata\LocalLow will not. In general they are 'extra' folders that (non-portable) applications can use to store information seperate from their installation directory.

>>171818334
both should be fine
I haven't used RPGMaker but your idea doesn't sound all that complex so it should be able to handle it. You can absolutely do something like that in GMS, but it'll need significantly more setup than RPGMaker will
Since you seem new, here's a protip: try to make all the mechanics first before planning out story, character, etc. That way you can see if your gameplay is worth playing before wasting time on the extra stuff.

I did the working_directory print.

It gave me C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Local\gem_ttt_60908\gm_ttt_3473

I fresh installed GM:S a week ago on a new laptop. I only have one project called TestProject.

There is no TestProject folder. It seems to create a new gm_ttt_xxxxx whenever I compile the thing.

I don't understand, because everything else I've read in the manual seems to suggest what this guy posted, and usually GM:S manual is really on-point: >>171818202

I'm reasonably familiar with programming (albeit not game programming) but to what is the lowest level I should consider for a "code a little, test a little" cycle.

You're not good at programming. You still haven't learned the syntax of the English language.

Shading needs to be dithered. Eyes have two eyebrows? Those blush marks are redundant. the hair is too angular and looks like it was drawn in MS Paint.

Looking for a good C++ networking library as well as a graphics abstraction library.

Something like SFML for 3D.

Logo looks appropriate for a shitty russian pornsite.
Play button should have white letters and the entire button should be the same color.
Make those black squares take up the same width put together as the green button does on it's own.
