/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

programming is all about memorizing your libraries that is it

Engine devs are fucking gay.

>>172160672
Not true. It's also all about memorizing how to print to the screen and perform printed-to-screen functions. Now that's it.

>>172161739
The sprites would be fine, it's just your code. I can give you some new code to have smoothing between frames so it simulates having more frames, along with better movement because you seem to move one tile of floor at a time as if you were snapping to a grid.

I've been studying and practicing so I can make some music for videogames.

>>172161994
Like i said, that's not the problem. If you mean the low FPS, it is caused by the GIF recording software. If you mean getting stuck on walls it's also caused by a minor collision detecting bug i will fix soon.
The only problem i can't solve on my own is making more assets for the game, because the person who drew all of this actually hates drawing and will not follow up with drawing more.

>he isn't making his own language

>>172162125
Well, you can take the color scheme they used and draw basic military crates and shit to take up space so it doesn't look so empty. Military crates don't take a lot of work to make, even if you aren't artistic.

>>172162024
I like the first one, but it doesn't loop fast enough like a soundtrack typically does. The second one badly needs better sounds for it.
I wouldn't put them in my game because they're not fast paced enough, just based on that, it would clash too much.

I can't give you a definitive answer, I know too little about the mobile industry for that
However I can't imagine it being easy, since it would probably be much less effort for them to hire their own programmers than to review & buy a flood of shovelware

You could probably pitch the game if it already is a minor success but a minor success in the mobile scene is already 10k+ installs

In unrelated news, what's the best practice:
I have a mesh where I want to modify triangles on the fly, and it's gotta have mesh collision too.

1. Every tri/quad is its own mesh, I can easily remove them without affecting the rest.
2. All the tris/quads are in the same mesh. When I want to remove one, I open up the mesh, remove the face, and I update the mesh, normals, colliders.

I made a sort of a ring fbx in Blender (a flat cylinder with a large cylinder taken out of the middle) to use as a custom trigger volume and have set it up to do that (Collision - Trigger, Visible - No). However, it is generating OnComponentBeginOverlap even when I go through the hole in the middle.

Is there a setting in Unreal to allow for convex or porous triggers or is it just impossible?

Remember to break down your game into several assets and sell them in the asset store, you will make more money than selling the game itself.

>>172167358
Get in the right frame of mind and stay dedicated.

1. Build a study calendar. Give yourself a reasonable amount of time, like 6 months to learn something significant, with a reasonable amount of time in between to practice / relax (but don't be too lenient - try to do something every week day, or every other week day with a minimum 30 hours a week).

2. Start eating better and going to sleep at better times.

3. Don't jerk off as much.

4. Use social media more and watch non-tutorial videos like dev diaries and such to keep yourself invented and in the cultural mindset.

You have your whole life to play vidya, watch movies / anime, and do other shit. But the longer you wait to get into the career you want to be in, the harder your future will be.

It's like you hate yourself.

>>172167839
You just gotta open up the mesh properties (double click on the mesh in the content browser) and edit the collision mesh so it has a hole.
By default meshes just get a basic collision shape generated for them.

You can build one from basic shapes, import one, or find the Collision Complexity option and choose Use Complex as Simple to use the mesh itself as the collision mesh.

Switched to Unreal 4.15 today (from 4.12). Suddenly everything looks way more crisp.

Also might actually cave in and implement kicking. However not even near as powerful as in Dark Messiah. I was playing that again this weekend. Jesus fucking Christ. The only reason why this game is so hard is because the kick is so damn overpowered. The regular sword strikes on the other hand basically do nothing.

Consider that Steam gives you well over 30% more coverage as well as the freedom to charge at least 30% more without consequence (due to convenience, trading cards, etc.).

It has some serious weirdness in it but a beginner won't even run into that. The most unusual thing they'll encounter is the whitespace, which will teach them good habits instead of bad ones.

First of all, my game is definitely gonna be better than yours, I am using Unreal Engine 4 and I actually have talent, unlike you. You are probably using tutorials to guide yourself through the game development process. You are probably making a shit platformer.
