I appreciate the attempt, but this behaves the way version 1 did (with atan2). I divided the deltas by the magnitude, and multiplied that by the speed, but like I said, the problem still persisted. This webm does a decent job illustrating what I mean. For the first angle it's accurate, then less so in the second, then it doesn't even move on the x plane in the third.
>>172719734
Yep. One of them led me to version 2, but again, I couldn't make it perfect.

Anybody else find it hard to work on art things that aren't game assets after getting into gamedev?

Why are you using HUD in the first place you freaking lunatic? HUD is a relic from the past. Just use UMG widgets and enjoy the best engine on the market. You don't even need to set values being displayed on the UI by hand - just add binding functions to grab what you need from the widget itself.

First post here. Been lurking for a while.

Do you like my 8k mud texture soil?

Why is everyone only doing fucking floating enemy healthbars?
Why is not a single fucking person able to do a universal enemy healthbar?

My main problem is that while I feel things like >>172729160 are progress, I feel like I'm just wasting time while doing stuff like >>172729527.

>>172730123
floating healthbars are fashionable and nudevs are all sheep that do the same juice and general design

>>172730123
what is a universal enemy healthbar?

>>172730387
A healthbar like in Ikaruga

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIxKjmrCrS4

Not a single person does this, although it is way better than fucking ugly floating bars above each enemy..

>>172730519
it depends on the game really.
If its more static like shmups sure. But a game like souls Id just turn them off

Right guys,

Let's play ideas guy for a bit. Been thinking of making an SRPG for a while now, kinda akin to FE and Advance Wars. (Floating isometric land in a lucid LSD dream world does nothing for me, nor am I a fan "height" advantages. Do like tile terrain advantages though)

But what to make a fairly unique setting, so I'm after some ideas of what to include. From setting to systems. What kind of ideas have you guys had for SRPGs?

Probably going to try and make it in Love, because pic related is the system I'm using, so I'm fairly limited to what I can run.

Let's assume you have enough talent and money to take care of everything. A setting is quite important in a story based game, you should give more details or think about what mechanics you want to implement first so that the setting complements the gameplay.

I guess you should find a story first which you really want to tell, and from that figure out the classes, the battlefields etc.

And Löve is not your only option. Löve is basically lightweight engine devving, so with that effort you could just jump to C++ with SDL2.

Man, mirroring morph targets has been one of the most painful things so far because my rig is slightly offset in rotations etc so it never matched up. Turns out you can disable the skin modifier, mirror the morph and then re-enable the skin. That just took me like 4 hours or so to figure out.

SDL2 isn't a bad idea, actually. I've been always meaning to learn C++.

>>172741386

Not even going to deny it, if I manage to make anything in 3 months, I'll be happy.

SDL2 or SFML?

>>172741587
it makes no difference in the long run
but I prefer sfml

>>172741587
Having used all of these, do not use SDL2.
SFML or GLFW + OpenGL
SDL2 doesn't do what either of those 2 do properly.
SFML:
Easy simple API, out of the box rendering of sprites and many other things

SDL2:
Piece of shit renderer, you HAVE to make your own in OpenGL if you plan to make anything substantial, it is horrendous.

GLFW+GL:
If you were going to use SDL2 you may as well use GLFW which is lightweight and sets up the GL context, you'd be doing the work you'd have to do in SDL2 with a better library.

tl;dr
Want to start from GL? GLFW
Want to just like draw images easily and without a dumb renderer? SFML

You don't need to call your name every time you make an appearance googay

So the player can press key 1 for a light attack.
He can also press key 2 for a heavy attack.
He can also press key 1 AND key 2 for a super attack.

How do I check for that super attack input? Because as it stands you have to press 1 and 2 on the same frame to get a super attack.
I do have an input buffer, but the player goes into the attack state with whichever input came first, unless they're on the same frame.

Do I wait for a few frames and see if that second input happens?
I'd like to avoid as much input delay as possible.

should player deceleration on x axis in platformers be lower or equal to acceleration

>>172747438
lower when at high speed
equal when at low speed

>>172747521
also should moving in opposite direction decelerate the player faster than as if he was left to decelerate on his own

as in holding D right after holding A to the max speed

Optimizing my "neighbour-checking" algorithm is a pain in the ass, I'm gaining microseconds and it's still shitty (at least on my laptop)... But I'm almost done, I can only think of one last trick but it hurts my brainlet mind just thinking about reorganizing all my functions. I messed around with the rules to create an "explosion/swarm mode" and learned to work with colours in a less retarded way just to take a break from optimization.

I'm thinking of making the game about being cancer and killing your host, or being the immune system and killing cancer... But I'm not sure, the former sounds too edgy/gory and the latter sounds corny, and both might take the gameplay in unsatisfying directions (overly favouring destroying or growing the blobs, instead of using both). The "mom's womb" levels in Binding of Isaac get tiring to look at very quickly in my opinion... The boring old "fight alien fungi" option might be less risky.

is it supposed to work like a swing where you keep gaining speed when changing directions

you mean start the actual attack state and the animation and then decide which attack version it is while the startup-frames are happening=?

>>172747924
I only thought of it in the way that you keep at least some of your momentum when you're changing direction by about 160°-200°, whereas you keep all of your momentum when going left/right and everything in between

it's pretty much what SM64 does, so look at that maybe and see if it helps you out

Depends on the type of game.

It's a fuck ton easier to enjoy an action game that you yourself made.

Puzzle game devs will never know the joy of tackling their own puzzles with a completely fresh mind barring brain damage of some sort...

I imagine story centric/story heavy games would cause a similar thing, unless perhaps the mood building is real goddamn comfy.

>>172749837
Cool, what tool do you draw with?

>>172749763
The thing that causes me the most trouble is that I'm checking two or three layers of neighbours (depending on the "mode" i.e. "expanding mode", "swarm mode", "wriggly/writhing mode similar to Conway's game of life", "cyber-amoeba mode") to have more interesting and fluctuating behaviours. After a few rounds of optimization I created a step where I have to fetch the cell itself from the center of its neighbourhood, which I'm pretty sure is my new bottleneck. I just have to make it so the cell is the first item in the array I'm checking.

Thanks for the link, this looks like a great implementation!

Your sprite is too busy, you tried to cram too many details and lost part of the overall form, just look at the head, taking a quick look you can't distinguish between eyes/reflection/fur and if you can't distinguish the overall main parts in a quick look, you already lost the viewer attention.

After some sleep, I've figured out the problem (and why at the end there, it just goes straight up).

To move the bullet, I increase its x/y positions every frame using the formula
>divide the deltas by the magnitude, and multiplied that by the speed
However if the distance between the x positions is small, the sum of the above equation will be a small decimal number (like 0.07 for example, which would increase to 0.21 after multiplying it by the speed).

The problem with this is the x/y positions of the bullet have to be an int.Trying to add a decimal value will just result in that value getting rounded down to nearest integer. So as seen in the last part of the webm, the x value was like, 0.21. However plugging that into the bullet would lower it to 0, hence why it doesn't move (on the x-axis) at all in the end there.

By increasing the speed sufficiently, accuracy improved and that annoying last case is a thing of the past.

I may be retarded, but at least I'm slightly less retarded today than I was yesterday, and that's something I guess.

>>172754160
No the remake will suck because it's made by the guys that did ff13 and 15.

A man falls in love with a girl.
Unable to confess, he is gifted with by a deus ex machina with the girl’s phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day’s confessions to the girl, her mother calls the cops on him with a shocked expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn’t exist in this universe at all. She is the girl’s alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC’s own AU self, who's daughter called the cops on her (the AU has inverse pedophobia).
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to kidnap the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

Inspired by the classic NES I got for Christmas and Yume Nikki.

Game uses something like UE4 for a 3D, fairly realistic environment representing the single room apartment of the protagonist, a qt but unhealthy hikki girl. Scattered around the room are various devices and consoles that have various simple, unrelated 8 and 16 bit games featuring lolis as heroes.

Evidence around the room (i.e., phone with voicemails and texts) hints that the MC is planning to kill herself soon after being cut off by her parents and having no luck getting other relatives and her childhood friend to send her money and is spiraling down into delirium from overdosing on the psychoactive OTC meds she was able to get the delivery service to bring her.

As you progress through the various minigames, you start running into enemies from the other games and eventually the heroes of the other games appear as twisted versions of themselves as enemies. As the games begin swirling together, the difficulty increases.

Call it WAIFU WARS©®™.

At the highest levels of difficulty, parts of the other games don't just appear visually, they start bringing not necessarily compatible mechanics from other genres (i.e., a Street Fighter punching your Gradius).

Ostensibly, it's all just variants of 2 and 2.5D schema with the interest generated through things like platformer units being affected by gravity in a top-down game.

Good news, though! I've ported the player's left jab over the the new animation system, and have made adjustments to it that makes it operate independantly from most of the built-in gamemaker sprite animation systems.

>you don't have any container whatsoever in your possession
>b-but why don't you just use a container?

are you two pretending to be retarded?
the fucking problem I gave you to solve wouldn't exist if I just gave her a fucking bag

you are dressed lightly in the middle of nowhere
shit goes down
you kick a rock and underneath there is a 1911 and 4 loaded spare mags

WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU PUT THEM ANON?

>>172762150
you know what?
this actually sounds kinda cool, at least the concept of just strapping that shit anywhere you can
I'm probably making her take off one sock and tie it as a belt around her waist and just stick them behind it

>>172762871
are you trying to be funny or dont realize how retarded you sound

>>172761367
There's a ton of them who want to be involved in the industry but don't want to expend any effort, so there are plenty of them who are willing to share the entirety of their wealth of talents in thinking or talking if you show them a screenshot of textureless models and say "Everything is coming along nicely."

In the case of female voice actors, a significant number of them are more interested in money or fame than actually contributing to the industry or realizing personal dreams.

Y-you are being a good person and aren't making vidya for wicked reasons, right, anon-kun?

>how do you solve a problem with no solution?

>>172763306
Seems pretty early in development to spend so much time on your menus

>>172758583
Me.

>>172762871
you're retarded if you think women don't carry bags whenever they go.

virgin.

>>172761239
From the sound of it your character has a fundamental design flaw where 'realistically' concealing a bunch of pistol mags will always look dumb. Also post design

>>172763306
You're going to make it anon, and I'm mad jelly

I know what my game will play like but I have no idea how to structure it so it's easily expandable and not a nightmare to keep.
How do I learn to structure code?

And with trial and error, practice, etc.

Your wife is pretty good. Is she keeping her penis?

>>172763329
there is a solution already in the post you are replying to
>>172763439
you are retarded if you think there isn't a plausible scenario where a woman wouldn't have a bag on her, like, for example, after getting physically kicked out of a speeding car, while her shit is on the backseat

>>172763458
concealment isn't a requirement though

I kept going with my skull from earlier.

Anything fundamental you'd change?

I'm gonna take a break and then try animating a walk cycle (more like shamble I guess)

Alright, here's what you're gonna do: First, you're gonna ditch the mags, mags are for ass-grabbing boys who aren't mahou shoujos. What you're gonna wanna do then, okay, is code those bullets so that they just fly back into the gun after a few seconds when you're not firing. What you wanna do is, you gotta code the bullets to shoot straight at the player from the point of impact UNTIL, okay, UNTIL if gets close to the player, then you're gonna have that trajectory that of course you knew to temporarily store to recreate the flight of the bullet out of the barrel in reverse.

>>172764050
Post the design

>>172762871
You fold your skirt up so that it makes a pouch around your waist.

You have a ribbon in your hair. You tie it to your lower leg instead and use it to hold magazines.

It sounds like this scenario will only occur at the beginning of the game or in certain situations where you are caught unprepared. You have full control over the setup of these scenarios! Give the player almost no ammo, give the player a bag, put the ammo in a bag, have the player grab their purse as they're thrown out of the car (mild situational humor here if you like too).

If this is the characters everyday outfit just change the outfit to be more practical.
