Anime is cute. CUTE
Progress

ritsu is the patrician's choice because she's basically a boy with tits
Made the main input and output objects in the same style as other objects and did a simple visual effect when they transfer signals + some subtle AO and the connection energy stuff, which i guess is a bit too flashy.
Opinions?

It's kinda hard to see the black donuts with all the flashy stuff going on, maybe make them glow when connected?

>>172219676
Yes it is, I'm looking for the right image to use as a banner on the itch.io page
I'm in development of a game right now and I kind of wanted to make a multi-party system where the player can control multiple characters, split them up, and have them travel around the map. Certain puzzles would require the characters to be split up among multiple rooms.
However, how big can I make the map before being able to split up the characters become less of a gimmick and more of a chore.
>>172219797
If you automate off-teams it could be less of a chore.
Like, if you give players the option to have them auto explore/grind/go back to town/whatever, it would take a lot of the "chore" feeling away. Power gamers could still control 1:1 if they wanted.
If it's puzzle heavy though, I imagine maps would have to be relatively small (or perhaps you just keep your team whole 99% of the time)
>>172219797
Well, remember that when you're dealing with multi-room characters, eventually those characters are going to have to meet up again, and all the fun of doing the puzzles is marred by the constant trudging back and forth just to assemble your party.
However, if you have elements to mitigate this effect, like a warping crystal that brings the party together or the puzzles that are solved create new paths in each room that lead to a central "hub" area where the party can meet back up without having to retread existing ground, you can extend your spread of party members.
>>172218942
Something like this?

Your thumbnails look like AMAZING pixel art.

I think a continuous glow would work better since I assume it's a continuous connection.

We can go pixel, man.
Good morning /agdg/! It's a beautiful morning, what progress are you planning to make today?

Learning to use a game engine is the work of yesdevs, even if you aren't producing anything right now.
I want to make a top view rpg like all this rpgmaker shit with smt combat and pop-up text, maybe combining skills into new stuff.
I want to also include weapon wear and some sort of social links. Should i use gamemaker studio or some sort of RPGmaker?
>>172220982
Depends on how much game development means to you.
If you just want something quick and dirty then RPG Maker is enough, but if you want to learn programming concepts that you can carry on to future projects then GameMaker is the way.
>trying to find a solution online
>>172220982
RPG Maker (at least the older ones?) is quite restrictive. Most games have a strong fucking RPG-Maker feel.
If you go with RPG Maker you'll be able to make your game 1000x faster, though. You should do your best to break out of that feeling with scripts and whatnot.
>>172221113
lmao
>>172221113
i bore witness to the very best

>>172215475
Yes, there will be all ethnics in the game.
Where can i find tutorials on Game Maker 2? It seems that most of them are about the older version and im having some difficulty moving beyond yoyogame`s tutorial series
>>172221497
Can't wait to try it out
testing out the new speech boxes
>>172221113
This is actually accurate if from the perspective of the person posting the problem.
>Not intelligent; having it answered for you
>Intelligent; having the thread closed because nobody could answer or had to find answers elsewhere
>Really intelligent; an expert user has to send special information to fix the issue, possibly too technical or personal to show publically
>Most intelligent; figuring out the problem yourself and posting it online that you no longer need help
>>172221690
What exactly are you having trouble with? It shouldn't be too hard to follow old tutorials since the engine is still basically the same.
>>172221113
>>172221942
>hyper intelligent answer: Figuring out the problem yourself but responding to your own original query with a fake profile and incorrect response so that anyone that finds your question is further confused and misled so as to put you one above the pleb-programmer competition
>>172221962
I have been transitioning between Game Maker 2 and Stencyl to see which i liked better.
I found Stencyl much easier to learn but everyone keeps telling me to go back to GM2
So i watched yoyogames tutorial but still feel really lost in how to go from there on.
Also, i dont know how to "translate" GM 1.4 to GM2, by that i mean if the dude in the tutorial is doing something that i cant in the engine i get lost and cant proceed
>>172218258
Are there any guides how to create your concept? What I mean is that I have some ideas floating in my head and I wan't to make them into something more ordered.
wtf i cant believe someone actually made these
>>172221347
Where is your game?
is making progressmonadic?
Provide a proof or counterexample
>>172222324
Looks better than most sprites posted here.
>>172217641
>>172217692
Ok, so, this is my brainstorming so far:
You're at school when it gets invaded by werewolves.
So then you gotta sneak and kungfu werewolves.
BUT the werewolves are actually really cute kemonogirlwolves!
...So you get a boner.
So now you gotta sneak and do kungfu WHILE trying to hide your boner, if anyone sees it, everyone will laugh at you and the whole school will think that you are a furry!
Mechanics:
The more you see and touch the werewolves(and especially the more they touch you) the larger your boner becomes.
The larger your boner, the harder it is to hide and the more awkward your movement and combat gets as you try to hide it.
Breaking the line of sight makes the boner smaller but the game's ranking will rely heavily on continuous and fluid action, speed bonuses and dick stealth.
SHAMELESS desperation mode gives you a temporary power boost but it is a high risk move that momentarily leaves you with no cover for your swinging chubby.
Different kinds of gear you find could affect the boner mechanics: tighter pants could make it swing around less but make it more pronounced, baggy pants hide a small one really well but a larger one will swing around almost freely, some weapons would take less hands to use, and etc...
My game is going to have hundreds of items. Is there any disadvantage to just having a c# file with all of them listed, rather than just using something like xml?
>>172222438
There are significant disadvantages to using c#, yes
>>172222421
>So you get a boner.
urgh
>Mechanics
>The larger your boner, the harder it is to hide and the more awkward your movement and combat gets as you try to hide it.
so the more you play the game the more the game punishes you?
terrible idea
>>172222438
>Is there any disadvantage to just having a c# file with all of them listed, rather than just using something like xml?
It's quite stupid and you need to rebuild your game any time you make changes.
It's like storing all your images in binary arrays and compiling them with your game.
Don't hardcode, keep your data outside of your code ffs.
>>172222542
In combat the growth would be there but on a manageable level, it would mainly punish you if you were being too slow and getting hit would be the larger punishment.
>>172222324
are you saying that because you think all pixel art is shit regardless of qualityNo question mark because that's what you're doing lol.
>>172222185
You could download the old version just for learning and it shouldn't be too hard to find your bearings once you migrate, the free version of GMS2 has some pretty strict limits too like only 15 objects max which would probably kill any attempts at following tutorials that aren't super basic.
>>172222763
>getting hit would be the larger punishment.
we have a system that punishes you for getting hit, it's called health
>it would mainly punish you if you were being too slow
so damage over time? terrible idea
>In combat the growth would be there but on a manageable level
if it's already managable ie. it doesn't matter why put it in at all?
>>172222598
xml it is then, thanks!
>>172220982
Will weapon wear make your game more fun anon?
>>172222438
At that point you should be making a quick tool to edit/load/save item data. You shouldn't be touching the data file directly, so it doesn't matter as much what the format is.
>>172222870
>fun
ahahah come back when you've gotten past your delusions that that word is useful for gamedevs
sent you the solution :-)
>>172222861
Manageable if you're gud.
>>172218441
you need to tighten your hitboxes, the more low res the art, the more precision people expect from the game.
>>172222997
>Manageable if you're gud.

I'd say it was a bit dorky of a game idea.

Hearthstone is made in Unity.
>>172226754
You just proved his point
>>172226220
Jerked off to poju
>>172226334
you can use unity for every genre
>>172226525
Are you not the dev? Anyhow I'm gonna drop this on you:
The warning markers for the mines are confusing. They should probably always show the max range. As is it looks like you can dodge them when the indicator is shorter... but you can't, you always have to be further away.
Either that or the ping effect should be faster.
>>172226884
You can also use brainfuck for any genre, doesn't mean you should.
Unity for 2D is the worst meme.
>>172226995

>>172227363
>no pixel perfection
>literally just 3D with a fixed camera
LOL
>>172227363
>>172226995
Unity seems like the most versatile engine to me. Everytime I finish a game it has that "made with Unity" shit in the credits and I never see it coming
>>172227487
>fingers
>>172227487
Toes I mean. But four fingers are equally disugusting.
>>172226995
Unity works fine for 2D.
mixing 2D and 3D for oldschool result is kinda muddy though.
Also it's terrible for composite sprites where you'd need to change the weapons and armor of a large number of units. The sprite animator itself isn't rich enough to work well on pixel precise stuff.
My biggest complaint overall is the UI, because working with fractions to put things in place is tedious when you work with photoshop mockups for the design. Not having an implicit way to tell it to fucking resize depending on the resolution is also really annoying and time consuming.
>>172227564
Really?
I don't think I've ever played a Unity game without knowing it's Unity
>>172218450
So you are making Journey ripoff
Nice
>>172227495
>>literally just 3D with a fixed camera
been the standard for 2D games for nearly 20 years, the fuck are you on son.
"pixel perfect" is a fucking meme in HD era. Only emulator fags too busy taking screenshot of mario 1-1 world to compare instead of playing care about that shit.
>>172227605
I did mean toes but if you count the fingers in the picture I'm refering to you will see it's not a incorrect deliberation either.
>>172227846
Uh, no.
The standard for 2D games has been GameMaker which is true 2D.
Name one good "fake 2D" game.
>>172227820
Maybe it's just cos I'm relatively new to devving and haven't really looked for Unity's tells. But it always got me
>>172227840
it's 2D you shit how can it be a ripoff
btw minecraft is an infiniminer clone, undertale is an earthbound clone, etc.
>>172228109
Almost nothing is truly original these days. Y'all gotta embrace inspiration like >>172227840

Whoops, swap those post numbers around
>>172228109
>it's 2D you shit how can it be a ripoff
So I hitted the right spot I see ;^)
Maybe someone who played original would feel nostalgia and would came across your tottally not ripoff game and would think that it remind him of Journey just by accident and would buy itor pirate ;^)
>>172228196
Nevermind that AGDG is a buncha salty cunts who have no mind for nuance. Just vaguely looking like something doesn't make your game a clone

That's because proportions rip offed from Hyper Light Drifter

Anon, you always say "I only use MSPaint", but to be honest, I have hard time believing that. Don't you think some sort of live streaming of a drawing session, or a speedpaint video could serve as a form of promotional material, while also being a short tutorial on how to git gud in Paint?
>>172229657
Holy shit you're so fucking annoying. Please just fuck off already. You're not getting anything out of pretending that your graphics don't look exactly like Journey and/or Hyper Light Drifter. Your """game""" looks like shit. You're a fucking prick. Just leave.

how about Hyper Light Drifter from the goddam post I quoted
>>172228634
I think you should really consider if that scrolling text is necessary at all. Show, don't tell.
>>172229943
and you can see they look entirely different so what's the issue
>>172229657
From now on You will be known as RipOff dev
Apply your new name to the right field
>>172230008
I personally don't care but it's pretty dumb to include them when posting to AGDG
>>172228634
Way too much going on and way too soon, I don't know if I should be looking at the text or the pics scrolling everywhere.
It also doesn't help that the text blends with the background making it hard to see if it changed unless I keep my eyes on it (thus missing all the pics).
>>172230081
but when it proves my point that they look entirely different it's not dumb at all
>>172230198
Nah. But please do continue to be completely baffled when people reply to you in this way!
can someone answer me this:
Is the key to make a melee attack in unity to make the attacks a trigger?
>>172230718
Multiple traces are generally the best way
>>172230867
what's that?
>>172230881
Firing traces/raycasts along the path of the weapon to check if it hits something
Made some more sprites.

>>172231184
There's literally zero gameplay coded. I've got 3 games on Steam so I'm not to worried about seeing it through!
It's going to be aroguelikewhere you have to use tools and lewd skills to make your opponents cum first.
>>172231123
Post you're gameplay
>>172222438
There's a disadvantage to doing it in a regular source file which is that you need to recompile and rerun to see any changes. There's a disadvantage to doing it in XML because XML is shit. A much better solution is to do it in C# but with hot loading. At least during development, you can either interpret the file using a library that lets you load C# code at run time, or you put it in a separate project and load the compiled assembly from your game project at run time.

Will there be lewd sprites too?
>>172231112
I never made anything like that, but assuming you want anything like skyrim/for honor/whatever, i'd just slap a collider on a weapon, OnTriggerEnter check what you hit and if you're bool attacking and go from there.

No but that was mildly funny. Enjoyed the shitposts that always went along with his progress posts. Shame he was underage/retarded and didn't see the project through.
>>172231446
I dunno, maybe. That's a lot of goddamn drawing. Probably stupid to make the game without lewd stuff, though...
>>172231520I didn't play them
>>172231520
The terrible performance.
>>172231518
yeah, but let me see if I understood.
I simply have a rigidbody with a collider, right?
Then the attack simply has a trigger on some frames, right?
Then you code the reaction when the trigger enters the colision with the collider?
>>172231112
>>172231518
Note that you'll probably want to set the flag for activating the hit box using animation triggers.
>>172231518
The trouble with this is that it can skip through objects if they are thin, the framerate is low, or the animation is very fast, that's generally why people use traces.
You can probably improve a collider with CCD, not sure to what extent that would fix the issues.
question
How do you make 3d environments in Blender like the background for your game?
>>172231921
for fast slashes you'll want to spawn a box that's as big as the entire slash area for the duration of the slash animation

music is kinda tough to break into making. imagine as if you had never drawn an image in your life and you wanted to be an animator. but i can line out some basic steps i guess:
1. learn about music composition (writing a song). You can youtube this or youtube any video about "basic theory" theoretical concepts kinda go down the path of rhythm>melody>bass>harmony. if that sounds like gibberish, just youtube how to make a song. also it is best to maybe have a piano, guitar, any instrument in which you can just trial and error and experiment for a couple hours.
2. find a music making software. Most ppl around here recommend FL studio because it's easy to torrent and cheap if you wanna buy it. THere is a different kind of software called Famitracker though which essentially gives you NES sounds to play with.
If you end up wanting chiptunes in your game you should really just download Famitracker and look up tutorials on how to use it. If you have never done music before it is probably the easiest way to get to do music.
>>172233960
I have a Novation Impulse keyboard. I also have Ableton Live.
>>172233960
you need to have a basic understanding of at least scales, keys, how a chord progression works and basic four voices harmony.
music isn't as hard to make, but musicians spend too much time making it seem like vodoo shit when a pop song is the most generic shit to write.
>>172234118
agreed
music, art, programming, math, level design, and everything else is easy as fuck to learn all you gotta do is learn the basics and practice anyone can do it
>>172234318
what most people don't tell you is that learning the basics is really fucking hard
>>172234804
no it's not wtf lol
the hard part is practicing everyday
can someone explain what are these gray arrows?
what do they mean?
>>172234118
i agree, but if you wanna shit out something quick (like the way ppl do at coding bootcamps) at least u have something u have made. ppl often learn better when they make a shitty/makeshift thing and then learn the strong basics after. plus if he youtubes "how to make a song" a good tutorial will illustrate basics of scales, harmony, etc. stuff like four part harm can come later out of necessity/desire.
>>172234028
nice, all u gotta do is look up tutorials on how to write song/use theory and use ableton. a fun way to play around is to put on a drum loop or any kind of loop (if they are available) and just play with a cool instrument sound like a piano or synth.
>>172234909
You wont learn the basics unless you practice the basics every day for a long time and it's hard and it sucks. That's why you see pros doing basic mistakes all the time.
>>172234909
only retards who don't have any discipline can't practice everyday. Didn't your parents teach you good work ethics?
>>172233960
>>172234118
music theory is overrated.
music when it comes down to is just sounds forming a sequence that you enjoy. if you know how to enjoy music, fumbling your way through the feeling of slapping sounds together into music is probably the best way to get into it.... not best as in most efficient but as in not losing interest and coming up with cool stuff.
i'd point someone towards music programs and vsts long before music theory.
>>172235256
>automatically associating the "hard part" to something that can't be done
Not gonna make it
>>172235386
practice is more important than music theory, but learning about the basics is important.
just like you can draw, even while your fundamentals suck and you're stuck in your style for ever.
bad advice.
>>172235256
surprise most people don't have discipline what are you some kind of pleb not knjowing this
>>172235252
you can learn the basics of programming within a month and then be able to write decent code not doing it everyday and of course you will mess up
>>172235386
what music programs do you recommend
>>172235536
practice doesnt matter that much if youre not playing an instrument, i mean you pick up rote things but theyre not that helpful because...
experimentation is the most important aspect of making original music
>>172235654
for the general DAT it doesnt matter too much, i use Sony Acid FL is popular, etc
but for specific instrumentation/sounds/effects, depends what you're going for.... i use a fuckton of shit - Reason does alot, tons of different VSTs for orchestra and synths, musagi for chiptunes, paulstretch, izotope and waves have the best effects.
>>172236168
Damn, where did you get the money to buy all this stuff?
>>172236168
Improving in art is basically:
>Learning from masters, copying their work
>Practicing your fundamentals
>Doing original work
There's not secret.
>>172236238
>buy
>>172236339
Surely gogem isn't selling games made with stolen software?
>>172236238
from all his successful gamedeving and yesdev videos of course
>>172236238
youre a funny goy
>>172236274
music composition is so basic it isnt worth learning the fundamentals, most popular musicians of our time never learned how to read notation.
>>172236501
well, we disagree.
my goal is to be a professional, not just some amateur.
>>172236501
>most popular musicians of our time never learned how to read notation.
Not this shit again
Hey goog, I think you will like to know that Godot has a pretty nifty keyframe-based animation system.
Maybe you can finally ditch Flash and learn a decent engine, I say this as an old Flash user.
>>172236501
I agree the most popular musicians play by ear and are naturally talented at the gift of music

what does /agdg/ think of this?
>>172239703
Sunset/10
>>172239703
Good luck competing with all the other walking simulators. Good luck making a worthwhile "experience game". Good luck making money. Good luck making people care. Good luck giving up on learning to program actual game mechanics.
>>172238312
Ain't called amateur for nothing.
>>172239084
Just a little payback for being a nice dude.
>>172239172
A good reason to try your best.
>>172239703
I read wanking at first and I'm disappointed. I advise against it, unless you can make some puzzle, racing, rhythm, platforming or any kind of actual gameplay to replace the combat.
>>172238337
this is the only game so far that looks like it is going to make it
when is it going to be finished?
>>172237112
Hey there recap guy. I wasworried about you. Good to have you back.

Game: Project M

Progress:
+ finally have time to work on this again
+ reworked the movement system
+ replaced lots of old shitty code
+ made progress with melee combat
- animating is hard
- have to come up with a coherent melee system
>>172239907
>unless you can make some puzzle, racing, rhythm, platforming or any kind of actual gameplay to replace the combat.
that's the problem i recognised too
right now i'm thinking about just making it like riven and dark souls 1 as in the areas have lots of hidden routes to discover
>>172240443
>i only play free ones
what games do you buy
>>172239703
Gameplay consists of opportunities for choices. A game becomes a walking simulator when the only choice you can make is where to walk. Not every game offers you the choice to kill things. That's fine. However, you should give the player the opportunity to do something fun.
>>172240505
>mecha-lance
Sweet.
>>172240552
Not that anon, but I buy games with gameplay. not glorified movies where I have to do the work of discovering the plot.
>>172240552
not many. i pirate aaa games and buy indie games from devs i follow. you know how people like social proof before they buy things? for some reason i need that. 3 diiferent sources need to mention something before i buy it
What if I made a walking simulator with actual THINGS happening instead of just being a static world like all other walking simulators.
>>172240505
>dat green health bar tho
>>172240606
>>172240641
well what i'm thinking about doing now is keeping in the combat but reducing the amount of it in the game and keeping it confined to a few areas

Game: Skylarks
Dev: Mako
Tools: Rust, Blender, Logic, SDL2
Web: -
Progress:
+ Made the render system selectively skip layers based on the current scene, so the ship HUD, stars, etc. will no longer appear in VN mode
+ Fleshed out a bunch of lore for different factions and certain planets
+ Wasted some time storyboarding an overly complicated title screen animation that will take ages to make
+ Added several new leitmotifs to the title music just to make absolutely sure that I'm in way over my head with this bullshit
- Remembered that I have no idea what I'm doing
>>172240505
>- have to come up with a coherent melee system
Zone of the Enders's system was simple but effective. Hit enemies, some enemies can hit you too, you can block or grab an enemy and throw him.
>>172240552
harsh words but unless you make some incredible atmosphere, graphics and design, no one's gonna give a shit.
And even if you did those, people would care a lot more if you had gameplay.
>>172240776
Wow man those sure are some great criteria for determining a purchase and your explanation of why you apply them leads me to believe you are likely a smart (and also probably handsome) individual.
>>172240776
>social proof
Anybody need art for their game? Last project fell through when the programmer ghosted.
>>172241016
sure post art friend
>>172240853
>unless you make some incredible atmosphere, graphics and design, no one's gonna give a shit.
say no more
>>172241102
>but [meme excuse]
There we go, exchange concluded.
>>172241016
If I had four artists working under me for a couple years I could get my game >>172240809 done before I die
Do you feel like doing character designs for now
>>172241148
no memes post your art if you are serious if not that is cool
>>172241016
Love this meme
>>172241149
Sounds p cool. What's your toolset look like?
>>172240776
So... if tree sources said you should suck cocks for a living, you might feel compelled to oblige, intredasting...
>>172241468
yes - infiltrate my twitter and post traps
What are some mini-games for disgusting little paypigs who buy Mistress's game?
Uploading pictures of them in their sissy bitch panties? Setting up an auto-donate for some kind of winning/losing trigger?
>>172240853
Not even harsh words. Unless your game is highly memeable then no one will give a shit about your indie project. Look at Hollow Knight. That's a gorgeous game with deep gameplay and a large amount of content, but no one outside of hardcore gaming circles gives a shit.
>>172241460
It looks like this language I made and I don't care if I'm being memed
>>172241650
I want to venture into the realm of DSLs and whatnot so this greatly interests me!
>>172241650
I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in working with custom engines, but your game sounds great, good luck!
>>172241801
what engines do you even like?
Reminder, do not respond to obvious bait.
If you really do need art, let's talk
>>172241616
>Hollow Knight
>Deep gameplay
Outline some of the depth of its mechanics for me, if you please.
>>172241907
He's a memeing shitposter. Ignore him.
>>172241616
The game's amazing but
>deep gameplay
Come on now.
>>172241926
Well uh. I guess there are a lot of mechanics. >>172242003
Tbph, I'm just mad about the game not doing particularly well. It's a 15 dollar game that I've put 20 hours into. Im just regurgitating its praises at this point.

Ahh, that's awkward but I meant in general. I'm not interested in enginedev at this time, but I have only the highest hopes for you and your game.

>I'm just mad about the game not doing particularly well.
It's not? I've only heard good things about it and the game is great
/v/ loves it too
>>172242148
its not doing particularly well because it chose to release itself post-dark souls ennui which combined with its metroidvania choices means that it will struggle against a myriad of similar games
>>172242436
And finds himself making original art
>>172242436
I honestly thought he was serious because some of the posters here are serious in collabing and usually post their art if they are serious or leave contact info etc
I just decided I will not be having Jontron as a voice actor for my game.
>>172242659

>>172242659
I just decided that I will be hiring jon tron for my game
>>172242497
Yeah, gaming and niche communities love it because it's a great game. But it's not getting the buzz that other Indie GOTY candidates do. It's not even a blip on the radar of the Gen pop. >>172242517
Lot of dumb decsions on the marketing side of things, yeah.
>>172242542
>I honestly thought he was serious
You have to had seen the meme by now.
>>172242325
Why don't you post progress then frogdev?
this sucks I have to either make a meme game with retarded physics or a lewd game if I want to make any serious money and then market it everywhere related to those toxic communities if you want to be successful in making money where as I just want to make a good unique game but it won't get noticed at all
why is gamedev suffering?
What other 3D programs should I know about other than SpeedTree and Substance Designer/Painter/Etc?
>>172243039
free idea: make a meme physics game with EXTENSIVE jiggle but technically sfw, sell it on steam

All those who came before me are just premature ejaculators.
I think the quick combat can work in this game after all. First enemy I made to test out the new approach and it's already kinda fun.
I didn't even notice until rewatch, that I actually managed to land an uppercut on a flying enemy, which is pretty hard.
Also added better woosh for melee

how do you decide what project to stick to? I have one project that is basically "game genre but with a twist" but I actually know what I'm doing with it and another project that has a much more unique identity that people seem to like a lot more but no real game plan for it
>>172247970
starting with genres and specific games you really enjoy works because those are the mechanics you're most familier with. make a game in your favorite go to genre, and if that's too big most people start with 2d platformers.
I have one problem.
When the AI calls the punch animation, it triggers the colision that hurts itself.
how do I fix this?
basically I have a trigger, but it's gets invoqued when it hits the P1 collider.

Your b variable is too broad, you can get at least 5 differents attempts daily just in here which give us almost 11k attempts just in 6 years of /agdg/.

A is even more of a clusterfuck, you're asking to quantify subjective qualities like 'decent' or 'successful' without giving parameters to measure it. How do you measure success? Money or Sales? Media attention? Fanbase? How to you measure a decent game? 'Gayming reviews'? Popularity? Complexity?

so you just make your environment cubes and scale them in Unity? I thought you had to make backgrounds and level designs in Blender
>>172248725
I'm not saying there's a correct answer that I'm trying to get at. I'm asking everyone to answer these questions for themeslves!
If you are finding it demotivating, well, that says something about your personal findings, despite your shoo shooing.
I need some hot opinions.
I'm planning on having majority of combat being melee, but the player will also have access to several really powerful guns, literally one shot one kill stuff.
The catch is, you have limited ammo, no boxes of .500 S&W Magnum under fucking bushes in the middle of nowhere. The enemies also don't use firearms at all so you really only have what you start with.
Is it too unfun?
>>172249262
I don't know, I don't have a game to play and tell you
Why don't you make a prototype and see if it's fun?
>>172249262
Ever played Condemned?
>>172249262
Depends on the context of the game.
If you make it clear that you're not getting more ammo, then it's probably fine.
You may also run into the Mega-Elixer conundrum where you have situations where players will just not use it, as they have the perceived notion that they'll need it later.
>>172249262

urrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh survival horror shit
this had better be a survival horror thing otherwise the game will just be boring
>>172249262
ranged combat should interact with the core mechanism (melee) somehow. knockback is pretty common
>>172247627
well it's part of gamedev, and if you're 1MA you gotta do it
>>172249262
The majority of replies to you have been from dumb "you must follow x y z design formula" motherfuckers. Having limited ranged attacks of extreme lethality in otherwise melee-oriented games is fairly common and totally acceptable practice.
>>172249262
I can tell you that I will hoard that shit and never use it. Many others too. That's a more general problem that needs inspection in gamedev though.
>>172244062
Seriously though are you using unity or unreal? What type of game are planning to make, just a gropping simulator? I don't want to collab with you just curious
>>172218352
twitter/website/dumblr?
>>172248139
Handcrafted, less detailed, and less huge in scope, yeah
I have a rough timeline of the historical events most relevant to the game, and I'm figuring things out in more detail as I go along
For example, I know that there are twelve hospitable planetsdown from about fifteen in the pastbut I don't know all their names or where they are on the galaxy map relative to each other
I'm relying on procedural generation to create assets (pic related) but I think it'll all be pre-rendered, not dynamically generated in the game
I started out with a bunch of lore, and then moved on to creating a shitton of characters with different personalities
I write a couple scenes, then try to figure out where they might have taken place, and invent cultures and environments as necessary to make that work
And then I add stuff that contrasts with whatever else I have, and see if I can connect that to other things that are already in there
Also, I have this huge graveyard of story ideas that I never really fleshed out, and I'm finding that I can do a lot by plundering all that stuff to fill in some missing pieces
>>172249680
You must be braindead if you can't see how ranged combat inherently interacts with melee without needing additional provisions.
>>172249909
>That's a more general problem that needs inspection in gamedev though.
That's a more general problem that needs more introspection from bad players.

Seems like a really fun project! I really think using procedural generation but having handcrafting in the final rounds is a great way to go. Really looking forward to seeing more.
>>172249917
>asking what engine i use
unreal. i don't know the core gameplay yet. need to decide where on the spectrum of full sex sim - merely cute to land. definitely nudity, but i have to decide where to allocate animation resources. if i go full sex sim all the animation is in the sex scenes and i can't add in centaurs and other weird bodytypes.
i have a gimmick that will be much of the appeal of the game, and it has a sort of collectible hook with it.

good programmer here I would be willing to help ya
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBH7pMCNWss
I decided to add a small gameplay mechanic - books and bookshelves - to my game dev sim game
books provide boosts to experience gain in skills
the boosts are provided regardless of where the bookshelf is, as long as it is reachable
each bookshelf can contain a maximum of 3 books, each book increases experience gain of a skill by 5%, there are a total of 3 books for each skill
that translates to a maximum of a 15% skill experience gain boost if all books are placed in bookshelves

>>172249472
>If you make it clear that you're not getting more ammo

>>172249506
no, you will take it from yourself
it will be up to you if you run around blowing up heads of little shits you could otherwise kill with a mean stare, or save it for actually dangerous guys who will rape you if you let them close and don't know how to handle yourself in melee
>>172249675
>urrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh survival horror shit
survival horror and horror in general should be about people being helpless fags whose main objective is to run away from danger, not fight it, e.g. survive, not fucking conquer
you are perfectly capable of roflstomping most things in melee as well, if you know what you're doing
at least that's the plan
>>172249680
>ranged combat should interact with the core mechanism (melee) somehow
I think this is self explanatory

>I can tell you that I will hoard that shit and never use it. Many others too.
Relax, you won't get a single loaded 6 shot revolver and that's it.
You will carry a decent amount of ammunition, just not nearly enough to sterilize whole level with it.
How you use it will be ultimately up to you though.
thanks to all of you
>>172251443
oh are we doing this?
"them" as a pronoun referring to a single person is not grammatically correct, but nice equivocation

>>172251663
ackchually singular they/them is correct if you can't tell the person's gender when it's an unseen individual or entity, but it becomes wrong once you can see if the subject is male or female
calling an anonymous user they/them is correct
calling a confirmed male user they/them is incorrect, snowflake status nonwithstanding

Tools for a broad audience lower the skill needed to release something. This allows more people to access the market and publish their low-effort products. So obviously yes, Unity does play a big part in this.
>>172256043
I blame Valve more than Unity
Reminder that OBS Studio is geared towards streamers and provides tools and quality that leaves recording quality behind, if you want lossless quality for recordings, use OBS Classic and look up a tutorial on how to set it up for highest quality available.

Unity is better than game maker studio and godot for 2d games it has much better support, libraries, scripts, more resources and much more.
Unity is the best choice for 2d gaming and 3d gaming no other engines can compete. There is a reason Unity has most of the gaming engine market.

I'm wondering which project you guys think has more potential
I've been having my doubts lately about this tactics game, I like the plan I have for it but I don't feel like physics driven combat is enough to set it apart from the tons of other games like it, plus people seem less interested in it in general. I originally intended for this one to be a smaller practicey project but it's grown since then
Then there's the innkeeper game which I put on hold for not having much of a plan at all, but taking a break and thinking about it for a few months I think I've come up with something that will work
I think both are similar in scale at this point so now I'm torn

basically there just hand tweaked movements until i get something that looks roughly how i want. then i have reactive systems that adjust the movements on the fly to account for things like terrain and obstacles.
>>172260607
Ew.
>>172260697
This is one of the things I was considering
>>172261060
not with turn based combat though*
it would be more like "send heroes out on quests to do your inn-related dirty work" or go out and do it yourself. The combat would probably not be very deep
>>172260059
by default i prefer any real time systems over turn based and i think a lot of people do. i understand the appeal of tactics games i just have a very low tolerance for them. i think there's probably room for both in your game but for people like me it would be better if you could avoid the tactics elements if you wanted to.

Good stuff. You are going to make them all (player included) ships? Or is this a creature/humanoid shooter?
>>172263117
option 1
draw a character with different things equipped and animate him, then swap whole character as he equips different things
option 2
draw equipment separately, animate it and slap it on the character with layers
they are both bitch to make, so good luck
personally, I would go with separate character sprites, unless of course you want to literally mix and match hundreds of things, which would be just horrendously hard to make in both cases, but the first approach is more drawing and less coding and certainly less things to fuck up

Nice nier clone
Alright lads
Its the BLOKS guy again.
Last time you told me to either decrease the price or add some features. So I've done both. At the moment its a fiver, though its going back up when I add in these new features.
I've added in scrolling which is a tiny thing really, and I'm gonna do a UI overhaul to make it look a bit more professional, though bare in mind Im a developer and not a designer so cut me some slack. Theres other a new block that you can use to round off edges.
The main thing I've added though is (webm related) something I call PowerTools. They're basically ready made, generic structures which just speeds everything up by so much. They're optional of course, but it can turn an hour job into about 2 minutes. Theres 39 in total over 5 categories, with different sizes and hollow or filled or whatever.
Also theres a sphere delete tool which you can adjust the size of. Again, saves a bit of time and effort which is alright.

>>172265283
>>172264693
Some, but not all, enemies are gong to have a super bar variant that for now I'm calling a "Momentum" bar.
Basically, it acts similarly to the player's super bar in that it rises when they score a hit and decreases when they get hit. The difference, though, is that whereas the player's Super bar only powers the player's offensive toolkit, the enemy's Momentum bar powers their defenses as well.
An enemy with Momentum on their side benefits from a damage-soaking effect that reduces the damage they take from player attacks porportional to their momentum, while ALSO giving them a minor health-regeneration effect when they score a hit. If you're playing poorly enough to let an enemy's momentum cap out, they'll likely also have some kind of ultra move that they'll activate as punishment against you, emptying their bar and likely OHKO'ing you regardless of how you try to block or dodge it.
In terms of normal enemy super bars and their 'unique' moves, I'm not sure I'll have a bar for those. I think they're more fun when you can't see them coming so it keeps you on your toes.

what's wrong with it, besides the specific math?
>>172265475
Are you not concerned about the balance there? The worse you do, the harder it gets; the better you do, the easier it gets. That sort of negative scaling can make a game feel both frustrating/unfair AND trivially easy

Good idea?
>>172256741
something something laceration depth something something edge type yadda yadda angle of attack etc.
it all kind of writes itself
if you're asking for things that don't relate to realism, you should probably phrase the question differently and lower your expectations
>>172266198
To an extent, that's a little of what I'm looking for. It's something that's only going to be present against things like boss-fights. The last fighter in each league, or specific enemies that have momentum as their gimmick.
Like everything I'm doing in the game though, It's also subject to the "fun test", which means that if it ends up feeling really shitty and frustrating, I'm not afriad to just scrap it.
>>172266404
>making a soundtrack where the entire music is elavator games
>elevator music
what did he mean by this
>>172256741
Shoot out lights, enemies lose the ability to track your position.
>>172266724
Music that elevates your spirits maybe? Upbeat tunes or the like
>>172266724
elevator music is a term used for, like, smooth jazz and muzak
>>172263629
>more drawing
Technically speaking it'd be the same amount of drawing, you'd just be pasting the equipment over the character sprite. You're right though that it'd increase the image count substantially.
>>172263117
Adding on to what the guy above me said, I'd argue that if you're going to have a gorillion pieces of equipment in your game, set up some kind of modular system, so you don't have to hard code too many sprites.
That said, if there won't be that much equipment, you're probably better off just making a few more sprites instead of implementing a layers system.

Personally I think that a cone might lead to situations where you fall into a hole and then get stuck, unable to get out. A cylinder still simulates the ability to move around small objects on the floor and head but without too much strangeness. Using a cone also means it may be heard to pass underneath things that stick out a little bit to the sides, even if it looks like the camera (character head) can fit neatly through the space.
Just my 2 cents.

What happens if the cyclinder balances?

you're fooling nobody anyone can open the engine or even use google to prove that to be true

there are way better engines for 2D

A perfectly logical conclusion to a faulty premise

?
How's the player gonna get stuck if this only happens when they die?

on principle your presentation is terrible. the way you show specific peoples footage while talking about vague things you don't like is passive agressive nonsense. why not have some actual balls and call out specific things about the specific vidoes you present instead of leaving an out for yourself at every possible oppurtunity. this is why no one likes you googs, nothing you do is genuine. you will never say or make anything that represents any aspect of yourself because you have a massive inferiority complex and you need that eject button. so go ahead and keep doing what your doing so you can be free from having any kind of integrity what so ever. i'm sure the school shooter meme game market is thriving, 3rd times the charm right?

The wojaks need to be carrying suitcases or mc-parody hats to make them look like wagies

that sounds a bit too smart my friend.

The cone collision is only applied for the death animation.

that's a good idea actually

but instead of hitting them with pee imo line up a combo with pee puddle (that evaporates so you have to get the timing right) and land them in poo

idk anon when mine was shown it very much suited the context
> school shooter game
these are like the US doing Freedom Of Navigation patrols, where China is soccer mom game censors
>>172259136
that's pretty damn funny
>>172271542
>idk anon when mine was shown it very much suited the context
he shows quite a few peoples games in completely the wrong context.
>>172271542
the creating a pee puddle that soaks away is a good idea, having to do two things to combo might prove a bit difficult though
>>172259136
>poo even squashes when it hits the ground
If only you used your powers for good
Dev is supposed to be 80% bug fixing right?

i love writing elevator music https://clyp.it/xz3pmrs
I've added some twin stick aiming as well as a lock on. The lock on is ultra simple and just aims at whatever's closest. Gonna try and make it more sophisticated, like having a lock on range, basing it on angle as well as closeness, MAYBE have it not target through walls but that seems unnecessary since this is a 2D project.

it gets less if you actually plan your stuff out.

What's a good engine or basic code to learn if i want to into a top down game.
>>172272554
Love2D
it's a powerful engine that's very easy to use and scripted in Lua which is a very nice and simple language.
The documentation is also good and there's loads of tutorials, you will have shit moving on the screen today if you start now.
>>172272803
Damn sounds nice. You have experience, anon?
>>172273979
in Love2D yes i spent last week using it
libraries i can recommend are
anim8 - for animation
gamera - for an easy to use camera

>>172264350
Haha that's great. Well, since it looks pretty alright, you should consider just trying out some "approach a pit in overhead.. jump across in side view" thing. You know, to see how it feels.
Always happy to see you progress
