harvest moon roguelike when

can one of you artfags teach me to art properly?

seems like all the labor or hm would feel wasted if each run could end whenever you fuck up

>>172999795
no, the only way to really learn is to just draw a LOT

draw things from real life/photos, draw from imagination, draw shapes, draw body parts, draw diagrams, draw draw draw every day. everything else is just tips to enhance that but the meat and potatoes of it is practice

>>172999760
I'd like to see a roguelike where you own a potion shop, grow some of the ingredients in a garden, and find rare ones in a forest or something in a roguelike fashion. Then sell rare potions to patrons.

I feel like the structure of a permanent town with harvest moon gameplay combined with roguelike runs into a dungeon has potential. You just can't risk losing all the progress you made in town.

Help me out, should I try and get on Greenlight now or wait until Steam Direct comes out?

>>173000284
Rune factory already does that. RF3 even has a large procedurally generated dungeon that's post-endgame. It can definitely work with a solid game loop and the non-procedural dungeons could definitely be substituted by procedural ones.

>>172999760
Elona? Don't Starve?

>>173000308
Steam Direct is a relative unknown compared to Greenlight, and therefore a risk. If your game is mature enough to show off on Greenlight, go for it. If not, just wait for Direct rather than rushing the game to an imperfect debut.

>>173000308
You'll get a refund if you buy greenlight and none of your games are greenlit. That said, EVERY OTHER DEV has the same idea as you right now.

RF has the problem of making farming completely useless. There's nothing you'll need that you have to grow that you can't find in a dungeon somewhere.

>>173000815
I don't know about Elona but Don't Starve definitely "remotely" qualifies, unless you want to be a bitch and quibble about roguelike vs. roguelite, in which case you can go fuck yourself desu senpai

>>173000830
You can't find plants for shit in dungeons and farming is the most profitable by far, though. You won't be able to cook or make medicine without at least some amount of farming and the games feature gatepoints where you need to give crops to pass.

4 is the better game, 3 arguably has better girls. 4 is effectively a straight upgrade from 3, while the previous titles also had deviations (2 lets you play for 2 generations and other townfolks can interact romantically, and has puzzles to solve, 1 has many more dungeons than the other games)

I had a concept once of a harvest moon, tho more towards Terraria in a topdown, preferably procedurally generated, world

The introduction would be you trying to get support from the King to go on a quest to slay the Demon King.
The King however has long since grown tired of adventurers heading off to their deaths so he decides he will not support any quest.

He will however give you this shoddy cabin out in the woods because an adventurer should be able to take care of some brigands and monsters at the very least.

The gameplay from there would revolve around doing the basic farming, hunting monsters for materials and befriending forest spirits/gnomes that eventually add NPCs to your camp that can craft things for you or teach you skills.

Combat items would mostly be crafted by your NPCs but 'key items' like a Fishing Rod or a Sicklerang that allows you to reap crops faster would only be found in specific areas or even dungeons.

The main problem I had when trying to flesh it out a bit more was that I was unable to get a good gameplay loop really.

How small would the world have to be for you to be able to travel back home and the very last zones like the Demon Kings Fortress.

If you would set up proxy bases or tents would your homebase become useless?

micromanaging farms/plants and at the same time going off on adventures where you're gone a couple of days sound incompatible to me.

If plants dont require that level of micromanagement what is the point of farming?

Would you have to return every day to give items to a travelling goods peddler or the like?

In the end I came to the conclusion that a simpler game would probably be more fun like your idea. You could be a Witch or something getting visitors on a varying schedule with them placing orders and you having to meet their demands.

Added an option for changing dashing types (actually implemented in the menu eventually). Now you can either use the two buttons for forward and back dashing or one button for both (defaults to back dash if no direction is pressed). Not really sure what to do with the 2nd dash button for type 2 though. Probably just keep it disabled.

>>173003654
Roguelike is this:
http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Berlin_Interpretation

Rogueliite is some of those criteria in a modern context. Permadeath and randomness are the two that usually trigger it being called roguelite.

>>173003654
A roguelike is a game that is turn based, grid based, has random level generation, and has permadeath.

A roguelite usually only has random level generation and permadeath, but has real time combat and isn't constrained to a grid.

holy shit

>>173003984
i would like this style if it was actually compatible with video games

>>173004035
According to >>173003889, it doesn't need everything, but should have most. Wouldn't this mean if it didn't have turn based combat and wasn't grid base, BUT had everything else, it'd be considered a roguelike? Or do fans of that genre argue even that too?

>>173004372
>an art style incompatible with video games

>>173004374
Is it worth spending any time arguing about?

yea send it to our email we'll put it in somewhere when we can

>>173004473
visual novels aren't video games

>>173004374
There's just a lot of confusion around it. Because originally a roguelike was just a game like rogue, and that's what it meant. But eventually more games with permadeath and random generation started using the term roguelike even though they didn't really have much in common with rogue other than the permadeath and random generation. So then the Berlin definition came around to try to make a more clear line of what is roguelike and what isn't. But roguelike is still just a generic tag used on Steam by many games. So many traditional roguelike fans started calling those games roguelites.

This is why I just refer to turn based grid based roguelikes as traditional roguelikes, because the traditional roguelikes were all like that.

Dem odds.

>>173004374
The thing is, when the game isn't turn-based, you tend to lose other high value factors like complexity and non-modality. So it is typically a "super high value" factor along with randomness and permadeath.

It can't possibly be accurate (across the board). You have to change shit based on your target demographic.

I imagine they derived the "best" times based on peak activity in America for each of the services. But then:

What if your demographic tends to stay up late.
What if your demographic is children.
What if people in your not-America country have substantial free time at different times (siesta in Spain?).
What if peak activity actually works in your disadvantage, because you'll be drowned out by all the other people posting at the same time?

What do you think about my UI mockup?

>>173006408
Yes always use hashtags, they work. Use #gamedev always. On Saturday there's #screenshotsaturday. You could also use #indiegame
There's more for specific stuff like #pixelart #lowpoly #3D and hashtags for the engine you're using, if you do something cool maybe the engine's official twitter will retweet it.

As for the times to post, like the other anon said, it can depend on your target demographic. But afternoon to evening tends to be the best bet.

>>173006408
As someone with 2k+ followers on twitter and 3k+ on tumblr, it took a pretty long time for twitter and my tumblr kind of blew up without me noticing.

As for twitter, (my tips) use hashtags #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gamemaker #unity or whatever engine you use. Post once every couple days with interesting looking progress.
DONT follow anyone and everyone, people can see through that. Follow people who you are genuinely interested in their own gamedev progress. Talk to them and give them constructive criticisms. Become friends. People are more likely to share stuff by people they like.

Something I notice a lot of other devs doing, refrain from posting personal things. If you're depressed, lonely, whatever, dont post about it. No one cares, no one wants to see it, and it'll just cause you to lose followers.

Aside from all this, hope a big dev or youtuber with a following sees your stuff and follows/retweets your stuff. Once that happens your followers just snowball from there.

One thing that's really different from my field is that nobody would even look at something that doesn't have a thorough test suite attached. We do have garbage software, and garbage software that becomes incredibly popular for no apparent reason, but at least it works (it's just a massive pain to work with and you have to pin the version you use because the api changes literally every minor version and there's no change log... but it works).
For some reason that's not the case in the world of 3d engines. Everyone seems really hungry for whatever scraps they can get, and there's nothing good in sight.

this actually handles multi leveled rooms, but I'm only debugging with a single room since rotation was a big issue.

>>173011903
block based. Rooms will have set templates which are a list of "floors" that have 2d bool arrays for spots that are occupied.

I want a dungeon crawler-esc game where it'll be 3D and the dungeons will be generated randomly each time.

I'm already testing 4.6 unitys new "runtime navmesh generation" which seems really neet

>>173012172
Maybe, I'll keep that in mind

>>173011907
There are many methods. The key is to design around a fun experience, i.e. gameplay in the loose sense (in an RPG, dialogues are usually a big part of the gameplay, unlike the combat).

Strictly speaking, it's about stimulating dopamine spikes. The way to achieve that will depend on factors such as your audience (which you must know - "people like me" is a valid choice, but that doesn't mean your audience will be large). Thrill-seekers will like it when surviving alone is hard, for instance (e.g. you die in just a couple of hits). If that is your target audience, you would then design the game around encounters like these, which means everything must exist for the sake of building up to these encounters. You can't throw infinite health potions at the player if the fights are supposed to be hardcore.

While some of the best games are simple iterative processes over previous games (see: quake or ps:t), others are completely new designs (which does not mean they aren't based on other games), such as diablo or harvest moon, which target audiences that haven't truly been tapped before.

Finally, you must know how to listen to what your audience says and evaluate their propose solutions without letting them direct the development, but you're not there yet.

>>173012172
>>173012429
nah fuck that, just join pointless hallways into pairs that are linked by teleportation portals at the end

>>173012518
That actually would be infinitely easier
Or just put something at the end of deadend hallways like a small chest or something.

>>173012193
Limited capabilities all around. I'd rather use urho3d if I were to go that way.

>>173012429
You don't need runtime navmesh generation since you won't be dynamically generating rooms during gameplay (as opposed to at level load time).

>>173015449
The "normal" (vertical) FOV probably refers to the expected angle between the top and bottom of the window/screen from your perspective. Ideally this angle is what you use in-game, otherwise you can confuse your brain and become less immersed, more prone to motion sickness, etc.

>>173015803
well youll have no problem porting to consoles

>>173015449
>>173015847
Of course, since you can't predict this since it depends on how big the user's screen/window is and how far away they are, you should make it an option and give a large range (support both couch gamers and Quake pros) like a sensible developer.

Or instead of choosing the easy way out and accommodating the mouth-breathers , you could aim to educate them and refer to games properly. Don't Starve for example doesn't have roguelike as a tag. I mean casuals don't even know what a roguelike is, so long as you refer to roguelite games as such, or just as "proc-gen survival" games, they will also do it. This tendency to call every randomly generated game a roguelike probably started from the developers themselves trying to reach more audiences/make their games look more "hardcore".

I generated a 1000 room dungeon in 2.5 seconds in visual studio.
And a 40 room dungeon took 10 milliseconds.

Haven't run it in Unity, but there are still plenty of points in the code I could optimize if I really cared to.

It's plenty fast for Unity since generating the template for the room is the easy part (especially with the way I represent room data).
The most time costly part will be creating all the prefabs in world space, placing them right, and then generating a navmesh over the whole thing repeatedly for the different entity types

I don't imagine it will take too long, but it doesn't really matter since I can just stick a loading screen on it. Entering into a game and having to wait a second or two is the least of my worries.

Just for shiggles, I'm trying to remake that perplexus game ball thing in Unity for VR.

Is it possible to make the Unity physics more snappy and less floaty? Whenever the sphere is lifted too quickly (honestly, not very quickly at all), the ball drops through the bottom of the rail even when everything is scaled up, the fixed step is set low, collision is continuous, and the solver iterations are set high.
The ball also gets kinda "sticky" on the tracks at many points.

it's holding onto an adult character.

Welcome to the 21st century. No wonder Bioware just said fuck it and scaled down the adult model for the kid in the final scene.

You really are a complete idiot.

Can you please learn how to draw or stop posting your shitty art? You're an embarrassment.

What kind of documentation would you want as an artist? Like I make a bunch of base blueprints/prefabs/whatever and you need instructions on what everything I made was and how to them. A link to a google doc? A text file included in the project? A sample map with each feature?

2D or 3D?

>>173022797
3d I guess? I made this scriptable interaction system for some artists where I have a base Interactable class, and a list of scripts, and you can assign a list of scripts to the Interactable. So I need to convey to them how to make their own Interactables with custom functionality and how to configure each script.

lrsp suggested a japanese elementary schooler uniform for the next loli but i think she just looks like a hipster, probably discarding this.

A few updates on the second weekend jam: It starts on Thursday and lasts for 72 hours. The theme will be announced 24 hours in advance so you can get your noggin joggin. No cheating!

17 people have joined so far, more than double the participation of last time! Don't be a nodev, make something!

Gogem is really hungry for attention now. Like more than ever. Year upon year of failure even after the school shooting game have made him really desperate.

He is going to try and stir controversy as usual but all it's going to do is tack another mental disorder to the laundry list of reasons why everyone hates him and he's below bottom of the barrel.

>come back after a year

good to see nothing has been made hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Bokudev is the only namefag/discord namefag who just constant progressos regardless of everyone else here bitching at him or trying to end his career before it even starts/he can leave agdg its quite wonderful honestly him and some other devs here make agdg good times again since hopoo.

What's wrong in my workflow in blender if I get flipped normals often ? It happens too frequently to be the program itself I think.

>>173023857
Does good take drawing requests?

>>173024015
Boku runs his mouth shitposting about politics so he is dead in the water and will always be here. He is the next gogem.

>>173023857
>proportions are closer to half-decent
>looks like an actual human
>looks almost like a girl at that

This is where you need to start learning from googs.

>>173024015
Bokudev asks for feedback then ignores all the feedback he gets, and he keeps bring ing up 'Discord told me to do this' 'Discord told me to do that' in the thread. I wish he just moved there and stayed there.

You'd think after being caught doing this so many times already especially on 8.chins with the IDs he would give it a rest.

No gogem, a magical gaggle of fans do not materialize for you everytime you decide you're going to save face on agdg. Fuck off.

>>173023649
Reminder that if you participate in these discord organized circlejerks, you have failed as a video game developer.

Stay away at all costs.

>>173024110
Whats wrong with talking about politics as a gamedev? Redpill me er... Don't pill me

>>173024205
>implying anybody here has any money
>implying if they did they'd put their money into you
0/10

maybe you should try drawing for free before you try drawing for money so that way you get more good rep?
you can start by drawing something free for me :^)

Nobody plays videogames to deal with any kind of political bullshit, it's escapism.

Why are so many /v/bros trying 3D now?
