AGDG - Amateur Game Dev General

You can let out what you've been holding in.

PHI, you're doing gods work!

Ideas guys, I’d like your help.

I’ve just got a new job, which means all that time in the evenings I had to spend on self improvement to get that job, is finally free! Now I can get on and do what I’ve wanted to do for ages, and make some vidya.

The idea I’ve had for a while, is to make a “sports management sim”-like game, akin to things like championship manager. But have it based around running a MMO-PvE guild. While setting up teams to do raid progress is the bulk of the focus, I plan to include a lot of bullshit and drama that you get from a guild. Dealing with lootwhores, the husband/wife combination of players where the wife is just TERRIBLE, but if you drop her, you’ll lose the husband.

So, I’ve got to come up with my own made-up MMO, and I’m looking for some ideas off you guys to add to my own.

Classes – I’d like to branch out a little from just the “Warrior/Mage/priest” types
Stats – Looking for stats not just for the “characters”, but the “person” playing the character. So shit like “persistence” and “initiative”
Traits – Traits are quirks that each of your guildies have, they can be both positive and negative. For instance “Female(Male)” has a chance to bring down the moral of a random Male guildie.

it's okay gogem, I understand

Alright, fuck that shit. After realizing that I don't really want a vulnerable web server running at home I made a twitch account like anon recommended in the last thread, so here's my first pathetic little unity project (followed a tutorial, but added score handling myself). Could anybody give it a quick spin to check if it werks? Takes just a few sec. Thanks. Just curious if it runs on other systems, though there should be no reason why not.

That model reminds me of some 90s PC game, but I can't put my finger on it...

Nice work though.

Just a heads up that Amnesia Fortnight 2017 is happening now (at least the first part of it). I've personally really enjoyed seeing the videos they've put out in the past and getting a glimpse into some game dev process at Double Fine. If nothing else, they are at least very creative folks.

>>173120053

the pure black and white is actually p aesthetic
pro strat is to hit the ball with the side of your paddle to trigger the scoring several times

How's your progress, Anon-kun? Did you do a lot of work lately?

>>173120053
It's working for me, but your scoring system is a little wonky if you manage to get the ball stuck between a paddle and a wall, or if you hit it from the side of your paddle.

Trying to find workflow for looking at what parts of a game i should work on. A big part of the game will be menues and management, but i figure ill start with combat since thats fun and where the work from management is supposed to culminate. Sort of.

Tried researching other answers. First results were by nodevs and zoe quinn... didnt she only ever make a overly simple text-based?

Can i get yesdev input on where to focus time or some articles from decent devs on it? Im using game maker

Current thought: movement, interaction, basic combat come first followed by intense menues

>>173120053
lol if you hit the ball from the side when its near an edge, you can knock it out of the game.

>>173120278
>>173120297
Thanks a lot for testing. And yeah I know, the scoring system is crap. You should only get points for hitting the other player's back wall, the respawn the ball and so on. Just started with getting into Unity 4.6 yesterday, and most of it is from a tutorial anyways. Right now I only wanted to test the workflow, get it online and verify that other people can run it.

>>173120420
Really? Didn't happen for me so far, and to be honest I have no clue what I should do about it (except for checking if the ball is out of bounds) - must be a fuckup of Unity's collision system, maybe the ball is getting too fast when you bounce it between paddle and your own back wall. Thanks for the heads up.

Ultimately it's up to you how/where you want to spend your time. But it's pretty normal to start with the actual game elements and preliminary debug controls, then add "boring" stuff like menus, loading/saving maps etc later on, sometimes even shortly before releasing.

>>173124404
>>173124362
I'm not related to will smith

but the thing is, that on her shirt in the red part it looks bulging, but on her chest, its like flat and no lines

so I'm thinking, maybe she has such modest breasts, and then is wearing an immodest shirt with it that girls dont normally do and that is what that look is or then again, maybe they really are big but then this part about the chest below the neckline is just the camera angle or a bodyfat thing?

>tfw still no dev to work with

guess ill try again tomorrow

>>173124621
what work you do?

Oh that work, sorry not interested

lolol you just got memed on i'm such an agdagger

>>173124474
it's possible but it'd take a lot of fine-tuning

the issue is that ascii games are effectively very low "resolution" since individual characters basically act as pixels, so you'd need to figure out strategies to deal with that

>>173124574
probably a padded (or stuffed, even) bra

>>173124796
So where's your portfolio?

Is there anything game maker can't do within the realm of 2D?

I already have a reasonable grasp of gamemaker. As my scope grows however and I'm looking into making more of an actual -game- rather than a few tutorials mashed together, the looming $100 price tag keeps inching closer.
I suppose $100 isn't a huge amount to expect to pay on a hobby

>>173125163
why pay? just use the free version

>The term lolicon is a portmanteau of the phrase "Lolita complex";[1] it describes an attraction to young or prepubescent girls, an individual with such an attraction, or lolicon manga or lolicon anime, a genre of manga and anime wherein childlike female characters are often depicted in an "erotic-cute" manner (also known as ero kawaii), in an art style reminiscent of the shōjo manga (girls' comics) style.

are you retarded

I mean it's true that there's a problem of pedophiles infiltrating anti-pedophilia organizations (they're predators and doing this gives them better access to children who have already been groomed by other pedos), but you have to be an idiot to think that most people who hate pedophiles are pedophiles themselves... you're basically saying that the vast majority of people are secretly pedophiles and pretending not to be, which is laughably stupid

granted, you said "active pedophile haters", but you're also conflating vocal hatred with "active hatred", whatever that is

Well, i just started devving at sunday, so not much. I downloaded sfml library and managed to kickstart empty project with it. Now i have drawn several orthogonal lines which symbolize future tileborders. And i wrote a function which takes coordinates of tiles and transform it in coordinates of pixels, so i can render white rectangle (which might be some sprite in the future) at exact tile i want.

Both are symptoms of the same underlying problem: a sexual attraction to children. The false dichotomy here assumes a sort of reverse causality: that merely being attracted to drawings of sexualized children makes one attracted to children in real life. In reality, though, the pedophile already had an attraction to children, and an attraction to drawings of children is just a manifestation of it.

i skimmed the shitposting, let me set yall straight

1. loli and eroticism are inseparable. "loli" is only synonymous with "cute little girl" insofar as you are sexually attracted to cute little girls or referring to a character in a setting in which she is the desire of characters who are attracted to cute little girls. any non-pedo people using the term "loli" without that context are either willingly promoting pedosexuality or are ignorant of the term and will stop using it when they learn it's root and context.

2. erotic doesnt automatically mean pornographic you retard.

3. pedosexuals did nothing wrong. please no bigotry-based bullying in AGDG, this is a skills-based bullying thread.

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.

At this point you might think that nothing of this applies to you. Please, reconsider it:

- Data-Oriented Design (Or Why You Might Be Shooting Yourself in The Foot With OOP)
gamesfromwithin.com/data-oriented-design

- Pitfalls of Object Oriented Programming
.slideshare.net/EmanWebDev/pitfalls-of-object-oriented-programminggcap09

- common OOP game engine development pitfalls

- Three Big Lies
cellperformance.beyond3d.com/articles/2008/03/three-big-lies.html

Think about it in this way: understanding how your computer work might not secure you success, yet it gives you a huge advantage in this race.

You might say that the latest famous indie game done in unity didn't put any effort into engineering at all, but this is only illusory. You cannot see how many hours, days and months the developers behind successful unity (and GMS) games had to put to work around its inherent limitations.

You can say to yourself "I don't need anything else, i'll relay in my luck" or think wisely and increase the likelihood of being success by expending some time learning more about computers.
Everything depends on you.

>>173130026
There is no "supposed to". Lots of people use preexisting terminal libraries because it's easier/faster/more bug free/more legit to the retro aesthetic.

But if you use sprites you can make certain things a lot easier on yourself (eventual graphical tile support, graphical effects that aren't ascii only, pretty borders are shit, even effects that are ascii only but break out of console-ness (shaking letters), etc)

>>173131025
Basically >>173131083

>>173130329
Consider this:
The term 'otaku' was made famous in Japan at the end of the 80's, when Tsutomu Miyazaki kidnapped, raped, killed and ate 4 girls of ages 4 to 7. In his house many TV recordings were found, but what stood out to the media were lolicon manga and anime. From then on, otaku was synonymous with pedophile.
Except, from then on, cases of pedophilia (like this or not) are pretty much inexistent.
In other words, crazy people rape children, smart people fap to loli.

>>173131096
On the topic of Psychiatry, the Japanese Saitou Tamaki has written about 'asymmetric desire'.
In short, people can desire i their fantasy (and thus in fiction) something they don't desire in reality. ie. people who fap to Oreimo don't want to bang their sister.

The sad thing is that she can't write for shit. Depression quest is deathly boring even for an amateur visual novel and she clearly doesn't understand anything about how men talk, act or think, despite making the choice to write her main character as a male for some reason.
The whole gamergate saga pretty much a lifesaver for her game dev "career", because she doesn't really seem to have any discernible talent for anything game related.

Not everything, but part of the core gameplay.
If you plan everything you will never have a game.

>>173137085
i develop my game without planning. add new features as i get idea of something cool. i sometimes clean the code/remove stuff even after months.

>>173137085
You should plan enough

>>173137085
It helps to do some prototyping for features you've never written before, just to get an idea of how the concept works before you pollute your codebase so that when you do implement it, the code is cleaner and more maintainable. Maintainability is so god damn important fuck

You can sit down and make plans when your game is already decently fleshed out and you know what features/ideas/plot events will work and what won't. Till then just do what you feel like.

I have parallaxing script running without errors, no fucking idea why it's not working
I probably messed up the layers on those sprites or something

>>173138225
those giant pixels are too noisy.

>>173137776
Its open source you can add features you need

>>173138956
yes, I know, all sprites besides the character are set to 20 PPU, I will have to draw much bigger ones to set them at 100, so that everything has same pixel size

Any idea as to what could be causing the edges to be marked when they're supposed to be shaded smoothly ?
it's as smooth as a baby's ass in blender and it looks like my grandma's cellulite ridden legs in ue4

>>173138225
Either do silhouette/solid shaded backdrops, or sprite them properly. The posterized/compressed look rarely ever works, and the bright noisy pixels stand out like a sore thumb.

Pretty good. I like to see the progression of ideas as a project goes along. Having gone through it a lot I think it's neat seeing the developer decide on and move closer to what they really want to make, or what's feasible for them.

Can we all agree this is the theme of agdg?

double check your import setting for UE4. make sure you are importing normals

>>173139432
export with smoothing to faces, not normals
