So how does one go about contextualizing inputs? Things like combos, charging inputs etc. like in fighting games.

Do you actually just track player inputs until the given pattern appears? But how do you give some leeway for those patterns (like how a DP motion is very forgiving in fighting games, you don't actually have to hit it precisely)?

>>172428189
I guess it looks more like a suction cup since it is the same general color scheme as her outfit/squid type?

how do you make sprite bend his body when aiming up and down with a mouse
and no, I don't mean rotation, I will definitely rather draw same shit in 16 different angles than do that

I mean how do you actually make sprite change depending on where you're aiming?

>>172428250
You can store a limited history of inputs and check for patterns.

Some devs have called it "input buffering", I've heard it also in the context of stuff like checking when a player tries to jump in a platformer game... so if they go off an edge they'll still score a jump, because it's real awkward missing jumps riiiiight at the edge

>>172427783
you should probably delete the page, it's embarrassing that you think anyone was going to be on board for a sfw bastardization
i mean think about it logically, there would have been no incentive for anyone to have voted for loli jam in the first place if they thought it was going to be sfw, every AGDG jam in existence already has a bunch of loli characters.

Best way to texture models?

>>172428510
>every AGDG jam in existence already has a bunch of loli characters.
Are they porn? No? Then they're not loli, according to your definition.

>>172428402
Get the angle that you're aiming the mouse relative to the play, normalize that value between straight forward and straight up (clamp). Divide said normalized angle by the number of different frames you have, use the frame of the index of that division. Have you even tried to break it down?

>>172428404
yeah that's what I'm talking about
but I can't figure out how you make pattern recognition that is forgiving enough

example, you want a DP input
>forward
>down
>down + forward
>button
in fighting games, even if you accidentally go forward -> down -> down + foward -> forward -> button it still recognizes the input as the same input if it were clean
how?

>>172428540
Need more info. What kind of textures? Realistic? Minimal? Highres? Lowres?

>>172427694
How do you expect me to convince you to do something that you don't enjoy?

>>172428743
Check time windows between pattern parts?

>>172428882
But I do enjoy gamedev. Its just that now I enjoy Zelda way more.

>>172428984
What do you like about it?

>>172428883
so...

>listen to input
>if forward
>listen for down next X frames
>if down
>listen for down + forward next X frames
>if down + forward
>listen for button next X frames
>if button
>DP
?

>>172429014
Do you mean Zedla or gamedev?

>>172429073
zelda

>>172429021
Something like this, but in reverse.
Mean, "if button -> and if X frames back down -> and X+Y frames back forward --> DP"

>>172429073
Vast feeling of freedom and exploration I guess. I generally don't like modern openworld games but this is one of the few that done right.

>>172429473

>>172429473
Try to really think and understand what about the freedom and exploration it does well. Compare it to how those other games do openworld and try to comprehend how they do it right. You can at least do some research while you're enjoying it. Then, after you're finished you'll have plenty of ammo and thought going into your own project.

I'm slowly ditching the PS2-aesthetics and go right into early PS3, dunno if it's good or bad, but I like the sculpting workflow, really helps to work on details.
It's already rigged, gotta do animations now.

>>172428743
If you input the DP pattern in the right order regardless of what other buttons you accidentally pressed, but within a certain time, then execute the move.
So get the time difference from the first and last input and check to see if the other keys are in between and in the right order.
That's if you want forgiving input.

>>172427389
>Also the phone thing looks pretty horrible, it should match the rest of the aesthetic.
Still a wip, but thanks, i don't really have an idea for that to be honest.

>>172429825
I assume it's supposed to be spoopy abandoned ruins so old parchment paper or engravings on walls with symbols explaining the rules would be the clearest choices, a phone is extremely out of place.

Also I think the nodes should snap to a grid.

>>172430282
How come?

Aren't they just a thing you move around

>>172430318
>old parchment
I get where is this coming from, but it needs to track what the player's solution is and dissplay it, that's why an electronic device. I'll try a different approach.
>Also I think the nodes should snap to a grid.
Could do a toggle for that, i suppose.

>>172430727
Then make it engravings on a wall that light up and such.
A paper that changes would be better than a phone anyway, you shouldn't sacrifice aesthetic and cohesion for the sake of realism.

Finished the spritesheet for my loli protogonist, and decided on a name: Annabelle

>>172426836

I saw your animation in the previous thread.

I think the cases should eject more violently at higher velocity, less upwards more sideways to the right with more spin.

At the moment it looks like it is just kinda casually hopping out the receiver, I don't think that's how an ejector would work on a rifle.

Also you could not animate the casing but instead do it via scripting and add a little bit randomness to the angle and speed the case gets ejected.

funny how the west butchered the word. originally it was lolicon, as in lolita complex. but the words defined the perverts, no the girls. it's mostly western internet that started to push the "loli" part on the actual girls in the porn(remember "is this loli?" meme?), then to all little girls.
Now it's more or less true by usage that a loli is a little girl, but just like hentai I bet the use would still confuse many Japanese people.

So I've made the basic structure for an item database, I'm able to quickly add new items through a custom editor window, add new items to the game world and select the item type from a list etc. etc.

So far it's working great, but I have a question to any anons who has made anything like this in the past, going forward would I be better of creating a new database for each category, ie. an ItemsDatabse, WeaponsDatabase, PotionsDatabse, etc. or just one ObjectsDatabase.

this is from the perspective that in the future I'd like some light brewing mechanics, where you can combine some items to create a potion, and I'm wondering if there is any huge benefit to go for one structure over the other, I'm leaning towards going for the first option for a number of reasons, but I might run in to problems if I can't find a good way to guarantee a unique ID for the elements regardless of which database it's in, but I'm not sure, as I said I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I'm with this guy. lolicon has always been the term to describe someone who's into the whole loli subculture, loli being used to refer to the girls specifically. calling a pedo a loli is just absurd, it brings up the same dissonance in my mind as calling a mustachioed pedo a little girl.

in my opinion crafting is a shit mechanic. I cannot recount the amount of games, in which crafting was a feature of the game, where i wouldn't spend the entire game gathering ingredients for crafring, managing inventory slots to make space, and carefully storing them in a chest or some object holder, only to complete the game without ever once crafting anything.

i don't know ? apparently some anons love crafting shit in games. i just happen to think it's retarded. why go through all that tedium when you can just complete the game with items you can buy or find in the game ? it's beyond me.

it's not wrong. "loli" as a term for little girls comes directly from "loli/lolicon" as a term for the genre.
the fact that you can use "loli" to mean little girl so flippantly is only because youre inside the 4chan/weeaboo culture bubble.

yes, but those items that you wouldn't be able to get, did you really need them to finish the game ?

I would split it up if there's a big difference in logic

i.e. weapons can be equipped but never consumed, potions are consumed but never equipped on the body. that's a pretty big difference in logic, so I would keep them as separate classes

And there we go. So fucking what if we have our own definition for this term? Why is the Japanese culture's definition more valid than ours? Why do you feel the need to pop our 4chan culture bubble? We're on fucking 4chan after all, aren't we?

Publishing is a very cloudy industry, often people contractually can't publicly talk about their experiences, revenue shares etc so it's hard to tell good ones from bad ones.

>>172442030
You don't need potions to finish the game either. It's convenience.
I'd rather have them by crafting, materials are easy to obtain, and it takes a few seconds to make like a strong health potion using three ingredients from your inventory.
All of those were consumables by the way, not weapons or armor.

>>172442414

Fag doesn't mean fag in certain contexts here. When we say newfag it doesn't mean gay, it has a different context. Same way that we can say loli and have it mean different things, because language isn't law, it's fluid and changes according to usage and the same word can mean different things to different people. Are australians using the word "mate" incorrectly when using it to refer to a friend and not someone they're fucking? Fag.

That would be bad game design.

>>172442876
not him but the difference is that with material you could potentially decide what to craft to suit your need
If you only found the potions it would be entirely out of your control

>>172443579

no, it's exactly the same game design. because in your model they're already giving you free potions that are easy to obtain. they just mask this fact behind an annoying game mechanic - "yeah but you gotta craft them if you want them" which basically amounts to

>materials are easy to obtain, and it takes a few seconds to make like a strong health potion using three ingredients from your inventory

Very sneaky, avoiding refuting the central point of my argument because you know I'm right. This is totally irrelevant to the argument.

The very fact that we're arguing over this proves that loli has multiple definitions here. Because if there weren't people who used different definitions, it wouldn't be an issue.

actually i can think of one example where 4chan redefined a word.

>>172444781
>The very fact that we're arguing over this proves that loli has multiple definitions here.
theyre using the exact same definition but refuting a part of it because they somehow didnt notice it was rooted in pedophile culture.
its not so much a definition disagreement as people pointing out "hey that spurdo character you like is a mutation of pedobear which itself was a rebranding of kuma and as such is a lineage of 4chan pedophile and weeaboo cultures" and then the newfag spurdo has a cry about it because he hates pedophiles and weeaboos.

except theyre not. they're either knowingly using the term wrong and somehow thinks everyones in on them with using it ironically because obviously everyone on 4chan is normie sjw anti-pedo squad like them.
or they unknowingly are using the term incorrectly because they weren't paying attention to how it's used.
either case is a result of an intensely ignorant minority and doesn't magically change the definition.

most importantly it doesnt change the intent of loli jam, because anyone who voted for loli jam would only have done so with an understanding of the full context of the term because the bastardized version of the term doesnt make for an appealing jam theme, they wouldve just voted for something else.

guys got a question about chunk loading in 2d games, any unity fags who know c# may know how to help

okay so to optimize my game i made a basic chunk managger, i have say 12 large chunks and if the camera is near the border the chunk befomes active and all the platforms and mechanics become active

now im working on ai and it occured to me that ive no idea how to work enemies into this, like what if an enemy runs out of a chunk, i thought that if the the player was also in that chunk it could just switch to it but then i realised the player can punch the enemies pretty hard, so what if it punches an enemy out of a chunk then what, can have all sorts of problems like them getting stuck in the scenery and falling out the world

see pic, ive drawn a crude outline of my basic sytem using my mad skills, labeled 1

2 is what i was thinking about programming, its basically an infinate number of smaller chunks each bigger than the camera slightly but this way i can have more specific sets active, for example if an enemy is hit offscreen it can trigger the next chunk and because theyre smaller wouldnt be as stressful, i know its only 2d but i want this to run on toasters

okay so heres the problem, with the current method since the chunks are big i can load in mechanics, platforms enemies into each chunk separetely no problem, with the system im trying to create i will just put all the gameobjects down and the chunks will find them and save them into the parent of the correct chunk for me if they are within the boundary, and say placing new objects down will create new chunks

anyone kind of get what im trying to do? feel like im rambling but if anyone has any idea how
i can make a better chunk loading system would appreciate it, any good sites or videos on this maybe

>>172447076
but how will you make shape without edge loops?

If your character hits an enemy hard enough to launch them out of a chunk, just explosively kill the enemy instead.

>>172448028
no its not just enemies it ties into other game mechanics, the general idea is i want to improve my chunk loading anyways so im going to attempt the system i just wondered if there were any similar systems already

okay for say example, i have a master gameobject and any platform put into that will create a chunk and store the platform inside it as a child, that way whenever that chunk is near the camera it loads and all the platforms are active

is there any way to program this so it will just run in the actual game maker rather than the game itself, im not to versed in this kind of programming, where should i look

You should always just render the floors of directly neighbouring chunks, at-least partially, just in case.

How are you chunking? A bunch of inactive objects or loading prefabs for each chunk? If you're really into optimisation, consider pooling generic objects and primarily rely on placement.

that was what the plan was, i was originally going to do this in pic related, in this case the chunk active, the dark blue makes all other chunks around it ( light blue) and all the other chunks are inactivre (red)

however because the chunks are smaller the chance of a projectile or enemy going past one and into empty space increases so i was planning on having specific objects like enemes have the same effect as the player where they spoawn all chunks around them

the system i have now is really basic, its just a massive box i put rhe gameobjects in and if the camera is close enough all the game object become active, the camera leaves the boundary they become inactive

havinnng small chunks whould be a nightmare when making levels so i want a system which creates chunks for me when gameobjects are placed in the world but im not sure about how to code specific editor related stuff, any ideas where i should look or what i should do

What if its the world that is scroll past the character, and not the character that runs through the world?

how about a doom jam

>>172451074
it is literally a question that i know the answer to

>>172449389
Just render neighbouring floors and include a method that stops their speed onCollision with a boundary.

Honestly, it sounds as far from optimised as it can be. Store level detail simplistically; a 1d bitarray for platform placement, pool enemies and record their placement in a mirrored list of enums or something. Render relative to the player like an NES game, but with an extra block both left and right, or render small chunks with strict transitions.

Inactive objects are still there, you're only really freeing yourself of the running upkeep.

>>172451250
I'd be up for that.

how do you know what program function you need to do things in your game ?

programming is so difficult much harder than art

>>172451475
Name them appropriately?
Print(), UpdateMap(), InitiatePenisJiggle(ref speed = JiggleSpeed.TOOFAST), etc
The secret is to overload so much that you don't have to think about exceptions.

>>172450504
Let's see you pull out the same amount of quality art.

Huho that's right, you can't. You're just a filthy shitposter, failure at life and a loser who can't even make a pong.

I think I'm starting to get how I am gonna do foliage. Unreal's material editor is really nice to use.
Next step is to re-do the tree mesh and do a texture with smaller leaves.

you could say it's so good it's unreal

>>172451919
nice
my game is a lot easier than I wanna be the guy though

why the fuck is animating so god damn hard

wahhh doing things is hard why is life so hard

While trying to optimize my function that checks the neighbouring cells three layers deep I accidentally invented cloud mode! The function stops too soon and basically ignores part of the bottom row, which makes growth possible mostly upwards. I think it's cool and could be a neat way for the player to get blobs to go in a general direction while not being too OP (I'm trying to avoid direct control, the blobs should act as a force of nature that's unpredictable and hard to tame).

>>172451439
its not optimized at all just something i cobbled together and im gonna rewrite it entirely

my game has a lot of verticle climbing and jumping so makes sense to load all adjacent chunks horizontaly and vertically and also diagonally, i can also ideally make them a lot smaller

most of the stuff involving moving enemies into separate chunks and stoping velocity i can figure out no problem its just im trying to figure out a way of making a chunk manager that isnt going to be a hassle to build levels with, ideally id just like to make my level and while im doing it the things know which chunks they belong to but im not versed in coding editor related stuff, where should i look to learn about it, is it even possible i know script would load fine in game but how about just running scripts in editor only i know its possible to some degree

Spent the past two days working on a new UI for my space arena game. Here's the video with animation/sounds etc: https://streamable.com/ltonq

Need better sounds and some actual background scenes but the functionality is in a good place I think. Next I just need to get .ini file read/write working.

So I just made a small script that saves the inputs of the player in an array and keeps them there for about 2 seconds in order to check for input patterns.
There are 6 buttons to be pressed so far (up, down, left, right, jump, attack) and I want to keep them saved for 2 seconds so the array has a length of 6*120 = 720.

Now, every step I save the 6 new inputs in array[0]...array[5] and move every entry up by 6 steps.

But it seems that the framerate took a big hit from this, went from well over 3500 to 1500. Is this a bad idea? Should I reduce the size of the array? I feel like 2 seconds is a good amount of time to get a more complicated input right.

>>172453498
two seconds is huge dude, it shouldn't last more than half a second I think.

>>172453639
Depends entirely on how much of a movebuffer he wants to include. Two seconds is unreasonable long for an input, but not if he wants it buffered.

Is Turbo Pascal a good language to make games ?

>>172453639
I get about 2800 fps at 1/2 second
I'll see what I can do with that timeframe

>>172453870
I don't think I would do long buffering (like the greatsword charge in monster hunter) with an input array but rather another extra variable

I'll see if 1/2 second will be enough of a buffer for what I want to do when I get around to it

>>172441464
I know that's an opinion a lot of peoele have, but not really what I'm ask.

>>172442195
yeah that's one of the reasons I was thinking of doing something like that, but all that logic is defined by interfaces, so I could just quarry the database based on a type.

>>172454265
why?

>>172453949
If you're not memeing, pascal is ok.

Pitch:
- Medieval Combat
- Real Weapons, Real Armors, Utility Equipment/Weapons Too (Flash bombs, throwing knives, etc)
- First Person

I'd start just making longswords work, and add weapon types as desired.
The idea being that you'd use your mouse to direct your guard, and the direction you want your character to attack to; attacking into the direction you're already guarding imitating a thrust, and attacking into any other direction causing a cut. Fundamentally this would work like For Honor's axis system, but without forcing you to slow down or lock-on to anyone. The standard move speed would be a brisk walk, and then you'd hold down shift to speed up when you wanted to cover ground rapidly, causing you to lose guard for the duration, but snapping right back to it when you stop. Having your weapon lowered/stowed would increase all movement speed slightly, and increase the distances you cover when you quick-step, maybe even permitting a clumsier Dark Souls-esqe roll.

The Issue
- If you're using the mouse to direct your weapon, you can't change guard or initiate an attack and turn at the same time.

Possible Addresses
- E and Q can also be used to turn, at a speed based on your mouse sensitivity; like 80% or something, with the mouse taking priority while not being use to guards or attack.
- The mouse button does not have to be held down for the duration, allowing you to quickly flick in the direction you want to guard/attack, and then resuming camera control immediately after the command is issued (may lead to Chivalry-teir camera exploitation)
