/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

All for arguing and not posting updates on the games we are secretively developing?

More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

- Romans 5:3-5

do you expect your game to be popular if you're not even trying to make it popular
i bet you also believe in the "good games don't need marketing" meme as you're working on your game with low quality art because "gameplay is all that matters"

>>172272472
Marketing is the only thing that makes your game popular. No one will know if your game is good without people knowing about the game. That meme is retarded.

>>172272472
Lets discuss this.

Where do you usually get sourced for dank indie games?

I happen across them on Steam, or one of the streamers I follow plays them.

For some odd reason the weapon wasnt set invisible after death in capture mode.

Eh... whatever you get the idea.
When the guy falls the camera is attached to the cone. The cone then falls over like a sack of shit giving you this effect.

Could slide a little more.

I like to listen to cool fantasy combat music while making these and then pretend the gameplay is much cooler than it actually is

No but really, glad to see some real gameplay from you, looks pretty cool.

>>172272710
Well, here's what you can do, if you want the actor to disappear you can (if you are in Unreal):

1.) Go into your blueprint
2.) Find the last node in your death function
3.) Create a new node branching off the execute of the last node in the death function
4.) This new node you will create can either be a Timer or a Destroy Actor node. If you want him to die right after he falls, put in the Destroy Actor node. If you want it to wait a few seconds before destroying the actor, create the Timer and then create the Destroy Actor node off of the execute of the Timer node, set the Timer value.

>being this retarded
You do realize building your own engine is just programming your own lighting, physics and sound? Using a pre-made one is just using someone else's lighting, physics and sound. Usually pre-made game engines have a UI, sometimes they don't. Open source engines are just the files for the lighting, physics and sound that you can use, you don't need a UI. Some people want to use another person's lighting, physics and sound because they like it. Fucking neanderthal.

What's the role of a publisher?

Do they buy the rights of your game?

>>172278803
do you need help on your game? I would love to help

>>172279343
you make a deal with a publisher, usually they front money for development and market your shit for you, in exchange for revenue cut. Most of the time you'll get a really shit deal, but unless you have skills in marketing, good luck

>>172279343
They used to take care of the distribution and such but nowadays they are completely obsolete thanks to digital distribution.
Now they memed themselves into overpriced marketing firms that steal your game.

>>172278803

>>172279505
>>172279525
but they give you still money, right?

>>172279343
to make your game known to the public, handle the logistics of shipping and getting on various platforms like Steam,HB,Gog,consoles (more than anything).
For this they get a cut of profits.
Devolver Digital guys did a talk on just this and what devs should know.

>>172276705
>>172276841
That's literally what a game engine is, have you ever heard the terms "physics engine; lighting engine; sound engine"? A game engine is just a collection of those to help power your game. If you make a game on your own with just a programming language, you just made it's own engine. Unreal engine came about when they decided to make an SDK for development that uses Unreal Tournament's lighting, physics and sound engine. Unreal 4 was the first real game engine-type game engine because before it was just a set of tools, now it's a full fledged program with a UI and shit.

How much would it take to get published anyway? I am sure companies like High Sierra are busy off the clock with publishing appointments. What would their standards be for wanting to publish someone? I mean, I know I can just put my game on Steam, PlayStation Store and XBOX Arcade, but if I wanted disc-copies, what hoops would I have to jump through?

>>172280723

No.

>>172281486
I personally like disc-copies better. It's the format I was raised on. When it comes to PC, digital is the only way I will go. When it comes to console, I prefer discs. It goes back to my roots of console gaming as a kid. So I am definitely gonna get a publisher to help make disc copies of my game, along with putting digital copies on the PlayStation store, XBOX Arcade and Steam. Also, publishers pay for and distribute advertisements for your game. I can make some cool ads and trailers and my publisher will spend the money to get them around YouTube and TV.

>>172281358
>That's because I am not wrong. Admit it, everyone is an engine dev.
oh sweetums this ignorance won't be fixed by you digging in

This is a humble reminder that learning how to develop your game from scratch (that is, not relaying in game engines such as unity and GMS) will take you closer to deploying a game and beat your competitors.

Because games and game development are so popular, and you are competing against other games for attention, it is in your interest to use more performant tools that allow you to program your game without cutting any feature or depending on closed software.

If you are interested in defeating your main oponents (those using game engines, like the ones listed in the op poster), here are some tips:

- Use efficient and performant programming languages, such as c++, rust or nim.
* cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
* doc.rust-lang.org/book/
* nim-by-example.github.io

- Learn algorithms:
* coursera.org/specializations/algorithms

- Learn maths and physics:
* khanacademy.org/math
* khanacademy.org/science/physics

- Learn how to get the most out of your cpu:
* dataorienteddesign.com/dodmain/
* learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/79-the-stack-and-the-heap
* fgiesen.wordpress.com/2016/08/07/why-do-cpus-have-multiple-cache-levels/

- Learn how to do graphics:
* opengl-tutorial.org/beginners-tutorials/

Good luck.

PROGRESS: Some anon yesterday kept pestering me to go and put in super moves, but I had to go and implement the new animation system for the player character before I could put in supers.

So I decided to kill two birds with one stone and make the first animation under the new animation system be the high-kick.

Well, the placeholder animation for it is just the previously-unused uppercut sprite on a really shit animation I spent 2 minutes putting together, but when the art's for it done it'll be a high-kick proper.

I am gonna stick with engines for now because I know C++, and C++ is horrible with this type of thing right now. C++ is the fastest alternative to this, Java sucks and shouldn't even be used for game development, but OpenGL sucks and Graphics.h isn't pre-installed and I don't feel like installing it. Bjarne should really ask the maker of the Graphics.h library if he can incorporate it into C++ by default, then i'll start using it.

I used Unreal, and I was implying when I was done, I am no where near done, I need to do a lot of bug fixing and then update the models to look more photo-realistic, I am using some shit 2006-lookin' placeholders for now, but they are ones I made to stand in until I got time to make models with thousands of polygon counts.

It's a popular store. They don't scratch out games, throw good, working games into the dumpster, shit like that.

Gamemaker Studio 1.

It really depends on what kind of 2D platformer. If you're going to make one with heavy 3D shit flying at you and shit, I'd use Unity. If you keep it 2D or simple 3D, GM is more than enough.

It literally does. I have used it. They need to make another code-based modeling library for C++ because OpenGL is horrible. The only good thing it does is it's collision box. Rockstar Games used OpenGL for a long time to make their games, making model frames and just applying textures to the outside. The collision follows along the edges of the model, so the collision is perfect. Otherwise, it's extremely flawed.

not him but you don't have to always use your engine or build it to the point where you can even use it for a release title

If I go and put in the rapid jabs/rapid hooks right now, they're going to be using the same sprites as the normal punches/jabs, just faster. I don't think it'll be that visually-impressive.

Also, putting them in is going to require work on the enemy AI first, because the rapid attacks are going to be left-right-left-right looping until the enemy blocks, and right now the enemy only changes where it's blocking depending on what you're doing when it leaves hitstun, so if I put in rapid attacks they'd simply go on forever.

>It literally does. I have used it. They need to make another code-based modeling library for C++ because OpenGL is horrible. The only good thing it does is it's collision box. Rockstar Games used OpenGL for a long time to make their games, making model frames and just applying textures to the outside. The collision follows along the edges of the model, so the collision is perfect. Otherwise, it's extremely flawed.

>>172284778
It's a cautionary tale. If they didn't make their own engine they could have cut at least 2 years off of the production. This is why you don't waste time making an engine.

Took a while, but I managed to update my targeting. Now it works with some simple criteria and hierarchy. First it checks to see what enemy is being aimed at the closest. If multiple enemies are at the same angle difference, it then goes by which one is closer. In this gif, the black arrow is the direction the player is facing. The red arrow is the direction the right stick is facing, and the blue line is the direction the player is aiming. The blue and red only separate when locked on to a target. You can also see in this gif that I'm locking onto the target based on which one is being aimed at.

>>172285218
Yes, but that's not the point, in that case we wouldn't be talking about it. The whole point is he could have made the game much faster and taken less of a hit from it flopping.

Looks much better, anon. Maybe random small sheets of ice across the surface? Maybe in the back so the player never interacts with them? Nothing big or anything, but just thin, sporadic sheets to sell the temperature of the stage.

The hardest part of giving up is disappointing that one anon that showed genuine in your game.

>>172285439
but he couldn't have made that game unless he made an engine, he says so in the article

If they didn't build an engine then they wouldn't be the whiny type who thinks amount of work is directly proportional to game quality and chance of success.

This kind of aesthetic works better without lighting and any shading done in the textures instead. Like megaman legends.

I don't like to have spaces between my operators, it fires correctly if I don't, so there really is no point to have them. It reduces read time by 0.0001 nanosecond, which is so small it doesn't matter, but I mean, it's better than having that one 0.0001 nanosecond more of a read time. So I will have faster code than you.

I have it set to true to let the anon know he is autistic. I want it to chuck for true to make sure when he executes it he is told he needs to end his life.

Writing shitty code with shitty excuses. Your code will not even compile, and you think your code will be faster than mine? Pathetic.

Scroll up a bit and youll see why.
Most people here arent programmers. theyre SO skiddies nig-rigging together prototypes with stolen code

>>172293718
Why would someone use Javascript over Python, other than for browser code or Nodejs? If I'm writing a script for myself, you could not ask me to write it in Javascript instead of Python.

>>172294274
You can use C++ to create modules. But you currently have to rebuild the engine to have them work, which can be tedious. I think 3.0 is going to have dynamic loading or whatever, so C++ can be used without needing to recompile the engine.
C++ is only really necessary for when you need a lot of performance for something specific anyways. The rest of the time it's easier to just use GDScript.

using namespace std;
int main(){cout<<"Why do you need me to post code?"<<endl;}

>>172294451
Yeah, but why use Javascript and Python in general? He should learn it just to get into the habit of using semi-colons after each lines.

What the fuck is "cout"?

>>172294713
That C++ equivalent to Javascript's "print();". Pronounced "C-Out". Executed "cout<<*whatever here*<<", usually you'll wanna make it "cout<<*whatever here*<<endl;" because the endl; moves the printer over to the next line.

>>172294713
c out
c in

>>172294713
c++ speak for printing characters

>>172294592
Only reason I'm bothering with Python is because Godot uses it, and it's was easier to learn than C++. DESU I just want to like make game, I doubt I'm mathematically inclined to be a competent programmer.

>>172294857
They just had to complicate things

>>172294590
Is Godot portable? I'm always on the go and don't have personal laptop but I have access to computers all the time.

>>172295241
These are just nitpicky nodevs. Just like, make game. The art isn't even bad.

>>172295026
I believe so, maybe. I never tried. But the engine itself is one executable. A project is contained within one folder that you make yourself. Engine config stuff is saved in APPDATA though.

>>172294878
Imo Python is a worthwhile learn. I know both Python and C++ pretty well, but Python is preferable because its like 10 times less bullshit to write the thing I want. No writing move assignment operators, no const references or const pointers to const to worry about. Run a script like "python mypngscript.py coolpic.png", no bullshit.

>>172294878
Learn C++ from Derek Banas's video. It's 1 hour and 10 minutes long and it'll teach you all you need to know to start programming fluently and successfully in C++. You have more hope in your programming career once you do.

Made a little science lab asset cuz I didn't feel like diving into my shitty code. definitely needs more "stuff" on it but for a future demo day its good enough.

"Python is better than C++ because you have to do less work!", you are all so goddammit fucking retarded that it hurts. First, the more work you gotta do, the more customization you get and it tends to execute better. Secondly, C++ is way fucking faster, is more powerful AND has so much range that you can do more than you can in Python.

Please end your fucking life, you scum little bitch.

>>172296417
I have literally never ran into a scenario where the runtime speed of C++ vs Python has ever mattered. I have no idea what you mean by power or range. I mean its easier in C++ to fuck around with bytes and buffers etc, but when does that come up? As far as "compute shit and put it on the screen" both languages are just as powerful.

>>172296989
no programming languages are better than others seriously grow up kiddo

>>172297037
C++ is pushed right up on your processor so it's always gonna very faster than Python. Execution time matters, dipshit.

Game: jamos
Dev: anon
Tools: c sdl allegro
Web: n/a
Progress:
- Some guy said "i can't get the program to run"
- not all computers can run programs built in msvc 2015
+ Figured out how to install Visual Studio 6 on windows 10
- Modern cmake does not support Visual Studio 6 anymore
+ Ported my cmake script down from 3.2 to 2.8
- There were 1000+ errors building my code on Visual Studio 6
+ Now there are only 175 left plus it still works in MSVC 2015 perfectly
+ When I finally fix them all the exe will be very compatible on all systems

I know people say that gameplay is super important and all, but my game isn't really focused around it.

Would it really be so bad to just have an attack button, power attack, block, and a few alternate weapons to go with the puzzle RPG feel?

>>172297165
Yeah its faster, but who cares? Why not write hand optimized assembly or C for that matter?

>>172297385
If your game is shallow then it better be pretty or clever.

Would a rhythm-based fighting game work with online multiplayer? There's a really cool idea I'm throwing around in my head but I don't know if I can pull it off.

>>172297584
Normal fighting games work with online multiplayer, and Guitar Hero works with online multiplayer, so I dont see why not

>>172297824
Problem is getting the music to sync, since attacks would be tied to the beat.

So I haven't made anything in like a year, but I used a lot of gamemaker studio. I see studio 2 is out. Beside the improved sprite editor, what's really changed?

Can I return arrays from scripts now? Is there any concept of privacy in the GML language, or is it still 100% globally visible? Autocompletion for already declared variables? Can I declare functions without making an entire script for it?

questions about GMS2 never get answered

>>172301709
Wacha gunna do 'bout it, big guy? Cry?

>>172296417
there's not such thing as a "powerful" language. speed is the only criteria and it's irelevant in indie gaming unless you need a crutch to excuse your shitty spaggethi code that would put a computer to its knees with 10 pixel art. "range" is also a blank buzzword. all languages can do everything.

>>172301816
I forgot to quote his >>172301524 post

>>172288994
I would add places that have strong wind and slippery platforms, to make it harder to be on ground/actually use the float mechanic

>>172301709
Well, it's the easiest thing for a hobbiest to use. Built in sprite editor, dead easy to add your art to the gamelogic, easy to learn flexible (if in-CREDIBLY flawed) language. I don't understand why it gets meme'd on so hard. Writing your own engine in a java framework, or trying to fuck with 3D in unity when you're just trying to learn and by yourself feels like a fool's errand.

>>172301954
Thanks for taking your time to explain GMS, but that guy literally stated he's been using GMS for along time and wants to know what's new in V2

What should my

functions have in them?
Could someone give me like a super simplified pseudo-code example?

>>172296417
Very few people here have the technical knowledge, desire, time, or need to leverage the added power/flexibility you get from using C++. Of course you can do more in C++, but you can do more in ARM than you can in C++. You're making fun of people for buying 2x4's when they could buy an axe and a plane and saw and make them yourself out of a tree.

>>172302142
I am the same guy. I was arguing for my questions to be answered. Please help, I am curious.

guess I'm going to have to just start experimenting

>>172272710
Shields when? I can't look at your game without a shield.

>>172302204
I don't think people do input a lot, I think that's done at update typically. Some people implement it so that things that respond to input subscribe to receive notification when keys are pressed and act then.

Update is all your logic. When something is has a velocity of (3,4) you need to change its position x by 3 and its y by 4 here. You may also put input here, especially when you're starting out learning. Just an if(keyPressed == "D") then add to your character's x velocity by 1, or something.

Draw, you need to probably clear the screen, then everything needs to have its draw function called so the position changes in update happen.

Tried high-poly sculpting today

Goddam, this is insanely much easier than lowpoly stuff - it's basically cheating!
(Though I suspect texturing and retopologizing could be hard)

>>172288994
That's adorable, I love your art!

Now, throw everything away and take what you learned to start again. Play platformers and look how they build their maps around what the character is capable of. Decide if you want your game to be mostly horizontal like mario, vertical like Mario 2 (american)/Megaman, or if you want a lot of puzzle solving that goes left right up and down freely, like Sonic or Metroid. From there, apply your experience here to rebuild around your new understanding and grow as a programmer and designer. Make some mechanics, make a map editor, and start trying to stretch it to its limits. Have friends play it. Give friends the editor. Then when it's all over, burn it down and do it again.

That is my advice to you, I hope some of it is useful.

>>172302776
>texturing and retopologizing
isn't this where you use the high poly model for a normal map

>>172302920
Yes, but you still have to make the diffuse map

>>172274516
Perhaps it's not having the time available to dedicate months/years to program a fully fleshed out engine, when there are so many available that are of excellent quality. Cost/benefit etc. Not everyone has the time/money to sit in mom's basement coding jizz physics for several years so that their FuckQuest homage has some obscure 'street cred' that noone but other pretentious enginedevs will give the slightest fuck about.

>>172303002
Not the same anon, but how do people usually make diffuse maps? Are there programs for painting over the model with textures or something?
