Reminder that if you ever want to be successful, stay away from agdg jams.

They're organized by talentless hacks and want to drag others here down to their level. Just work on your own game; make what you want.

Who's your favorite videogame concept artist?

>>173321771
Went to bed yesterday with a serious bug in the code. Of course, like always, I've figured out the solution almost the moment I woke up. Too bad I'll only have the chance to sit down devving again at the end of the day.

>>173321960
What if what I want to make is jam games?
As a beginner making jam games helped me a lot, forced me to learn things I may not have otherwise learned. Things that I can now apply to my main game to make it better.

Help me /agdg/. I have two concepts I came up with during a 17 hour train trip a few weeks ago. One is a more generic action rpg side scroller, the second one is a more niche, weird game, with a smaller possible player base, but also a higher uniqueness potential. Which one I dev?

>>173322110
the one you would enjoy making more
your "potential playerbase" means fuckall if you're going to halfass the game because you felt like making was a chore

>>173322110
Make a prototype of both. Only spend a week or two on each prototype.
Then choose which one you had more fun devving, and which one seems like a more fun prototype. If you're unable to finish a prototype in 2 weeks then that game is probably out of scope for a 1 man army.

A game that you want to exist. Whether you make it or someone else makes it, you want that game to be made.

I'm making a game somewhat about quantum physics and sokoban for the micro/small agdg jam.

Understanding the game mechanics by yourself is part of the experience so don't watch if you don't like spoilers.

>>173322423
Games you want to play. Games you want to see on the shelves on the store. Games you wish big companies would make. Games you think should already exist. Etc.

Example: "I wish there would be more RTS games other than this MOBA crap. Hey, I know! I'll make one!"

>>173322580
just write.
If it's bad, that's good, because at least you know what's bad and what isn't.

Re-write, a lot.

Reminder that art is far more important than programming in the current indie climate. If you want to optimize your game's chances at success, practice your art skill every day, be it in 2D or 3D, and stop making shitty, uninteresting 8-16bit pixelshit.

It is the truth though. Some of the jam games I made were genres or types of games I would have never made outside of a jam. And because of that I learned new approaches and new tools. Expanding what I know about gamedev, which will help me with my dream projects.

Again, people will ALWAYS be better off working on their main game.

But a jam game is your idea. Just because a jam theme is slightly restricting doesn't mean you become a mindless zombie with no input on the game you're making for the jam.

>nor planned on working in the first place
Except you can plan to work on jam games.

>It's just a stupid, meaningless activity
It's a way to learn, it's far from meaningless. You also learn other equally important skills that you wont learn making your dream game. For example how to set up a nice looking itch.io page to entice people to download your game. And also interacting with people that play your game, whether it's them giving feedback or reporting a bug. Those are things you don't learn until you release something.

Imagine Gordon Freeman but without a beard.

Now imagine throughout the game, his beard slowly starts growing. After a while it becomes a goatee, and at the end of the game it becomes wizard-tier. Now appearance is actually a great way to express a person's characteristics, so this way you can imagine your protagonist starting off young and naive, then slowly growing up into a wise and old man, all without ever saying a word.

Maybe, but I'm not aware of it. The camera is attached as a child to the player, I'm setting player velocity in FixedUpdate(). But it happens when moving with a constant speed, so there shouldn't be any velocity changes between frames at all.

>>173327109
I did notice that, it's due to the fact the right arm is a separate model (swaps out for a couple things) and the depth sorting seems to be per object origin rather than a pixel by pixel basis. Right now the outline is set to draw underneath the model completely. I've got another version of the shader that's just a standard inverted hull (so pieces of outline are visible on top of the model in places with edges) - that version of the shader doesn't have the outline pop-in problem but it doesn't look as clean.

This is just two days worth of learning shaders, I still have plenty of room to learn and figure out a smart way to handle depth sorting stuff that could fix that

Just combat progress today:

+Added another fist attack; this is a "post-finisher" Combo+ attack on the primary alt branch. Just the first of three, though it may end up merging into the flurry finisher at the end. It's like a double-overhead roundhouse thing that shoots fists from her feet. Why not.

+Added more heavy attack crossover points; ideally, every attack has a heavy crossover so there's never a point in the combo where pressing heavy doesn't do an attack. I'll need a generic "heavy finisher" for all combo+ attacks, too, I guess.

+Redid the speed indicators for ALL fist-based attacks so that the "unarmed" weapon had a base speed stat of 1, rather than 2. Just for consistency's sake, so all the basic weapons can have a speed stat of 1 and there's consistency. I could use this to recycle certain animations as well; for example, some of the kick attacks/strings work fine with any weapon equipped.

+Added another sword attack, the first "finisher" for the main (no Combo+) string. Also added a sweeping summoned fist animation, and added that to some of the fist finishers with kicks as well.

+Changed how the swipe effect works a little bit so that it goes with summoned fists as well. Heavier use of the "unarmed swipe" effect, so that you get the weapon-colored trail AND the larger fist trail, which looks nifty

+Gun-hand sword attacks implemented. Also piggybacked on the "charge alternator" effect I used to have optionally two idles for each melee weapon; used here for each side the sword can be on pre-swing.

Does it make sense to just save information about a sprite's animation in an array?

i'd use scripts + ds_map matching the scripts to sprites, then calling scripts with timing as the argument through script_execute

>>173339003
How is your greenlight going, mate? I tried your game today, and it was pretty good. A bit chaotic, but I can see that as a feature, like bad controls were in ps1 era survival horror games.

>>173339767
scripts as in a script for every single attack?

the way I've been doing it is to get the input, decide which attack that corresponds to, then get all the framedata from the array of that attack, count down startup frames, create the hitbox, count down active frames, destroy the hitbox, count down recovery frames, return to previous state

and basically I had the same idea for the animation, create an array with the framedata (frame 0 held for X amount of steps etc.) and have that run while in attack state

>>173336124
How to raycast floors/ceilings?

Okay I must be retarded, but isn't there an easy way to store and instantiate a grid of tiles in Unity (inb4 >Unity, don't bother)? Since it's not possible to show a 2D array in the Inspector, and even then, it's not exactly efficient to edit the values there.
I need a way to actually visualize the values in a grid. I guess I could use plain text and split it in lines and chars, but there must be a smarter way, right?

>>173340318
You'll most likely need a Tile class, and have things like neighbors stored.

iirc you can do it with a 2D Array, I've done it before. I think I just had a double for-loop in a function that took the origin point, the size of each tile, and how wide and tall the grid was going to be.

>>173340243
yes, script for every single attack
this would require some kind of timer in order to determine how far into the attack the character actually is, then, depending on the time, pick different frames in the animation, create hitboxes, visual effects, possible action interrupt frames, etc. - a lot of possibilities

but judging from your newer post your problem isn't in storing the attack data, but actually making use of it
for this an array containing the time how long each frame should last could potentially work just fine, though as a whole this system doesn't sound very flexible

How do I get ScreenToGif to stop outputting my gifs at what feels like 15fps? In the recording window it was 15 default but I changed it to 30 once and then to 60 on two other tries and the gif always comes out with the same 15fps playback when it is done processing the file.

I've felt the same recently, and I went to waste a few days in good old WoW, and bam, I've not only became inspired to dev more, but I've also managed to forget about it for some time, which made me completely relaxed and filled me energy to go on. Find something which really makes you relaxed and have fun. It is more beneficial in the long run, because it helps avoid bornouts.

>>173348860
I don't even know what a producer is. Is that a fancy word for "idea guy"?

So to someone who is new to programming.

Why use one IDE over another?

>>173352746
Lack of familiarity with programming, desire for ease of use just making a game as opposed to learning how to program (they aren't necessarily different but you can certainly do one without desiring to do the other and vice versa), depth of documentation which might make the process easier to get through, flexibility/limitations and if the ones specific to an IDE will affect you or not, etc etc

>>173351529
There are different types but a producer generally works between and above teams to make sure each separate aspect is synced up, on schedule, not having issues etc. Organising things which don't nicely slot into the responsibility of a certain department. If you have 100 employees they don't just automatically know what needs to be done.

You don't really need that in a team of 5 students, so yes, an idea guy but with an even bigger delusion of grandeur

>>173352746
Its all about preference
Some IDEs like Visual Studio will crash from time to time if run on toaster

Gamers are self important cunts, who treat consumption of an entertainment medium as a profession or even life's calling.

People play games. They are called players, and they do it as a form of leisure activity.

>>173344849
How the fuck did you even do that? 3D scanning?

>>173361936
>>173362104

Then you could argue they should be called 'Players' instead, except that 'player' is already a term used to describe people who manipulate and play the 'dating game'.

Gamer is a fine enough term. You disliking it because of /v/ autism or you don't want to be associated with le reddit is not an excuse. You play video games often, you're a gamer. Get over your bullshit identity crisis.

Most people who use the term gamer use it to mean someone who plays games as a hobby. I get your point, since there are plenty of people who do that, but there's no reason to just change the meaning of the word because of that, especially when most people till use to mean what you call "players".
It's just easier for everyone if you stop trying to change the meaning of the word and just use it the way everyone else uses it

Let's say I played Golf every day. I loved Golf. Then some SJW cunt started talking about how much she's a golfer and how golf is so great and feminine positive or some BS.

Does that suddenly make me not a Golfer? No, it doesn't.

Every community has obnoxious cunts or annoying children. Video games especially, as it's so cheap to get into compared to most other hobbies. The fact that you refuse to accept that you are, by all definitions of the commonly accepted world, a 'gamer' because some people you dislike are also gamers is a sure sign of autism.

Do you think the exact same thing used to market to Golfers? Boaters? Skiers and Snowboarders? Skaters?

Get over yourself you dumb cunt. It's marketing, it's ancient. Christ, I don't understand why people this retarded are even on this website. Are you too fucking stupid to understand that literally, LITERALLY every fucking hobby, group, or social activity from the dawn of time has had a conflict between the 'legit' oldschool people and the newschool people from muh marketing and muh generation.

I'm not kidding. Get a fucking grip. You are acting like a 14 year old. There is no difference between (You) trying to cast away or make some pointless division in your hobby group because you are trying to cement your identity then the 'dudebro normies' who want to cast themselves as 'gamers' because they play the newest call of duty.

The ultimate joke of course is that they are just as much gamers as you. You are an elitist, not some persecuted minority of 'real gamers' among all the normies.

I realize I'm arguing with a child here, but seriously. That's enough of this bullshit for one day. You're mentally deficient, and you will continue to be so until you get over your very minor language hangup you fucking underage fedora tipping piece of fucking garbage.

>>173364120
You must be 18 or older to browse this site.

Does having lots of alpha maps slow down performance at all? Instead of baking shadows which would create big textures to look good, I was thinking I just have a small alpha map of a black shadow, slap it on a plane, and mold that plane around where I want shadows on the geometry. So instead of having a bunch of 1024 textures I would have only maybe 1 or 2, but maybe 10-20 instances of a small alpha map on the screen at any given time.

>>173363584
>>173364120

What leads to arguments like this is that the term "gamer" has been used negatively both by people that are hardcore into the hobby and people that are hardly associated with it. It used to be a term used to criticize people whose knowledge of video games was limited to Halo, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Mt. Dew. Then it became a term used by outsiders to criticize anyone that didn't agree that gaming should be more inclusive, centered around social issues, etc. So now when you use it as a shorthand way of associating yourself with the hobby, you trigger both casuals and the hardcore alike.

You would have to regenerate the alpha maps on the fly as well as fix the shadow plane just so you can then redo dynamic shadows on CPU. It's not even remotely a question of slowing down performance, you couldn't do that even with a dozen low-poly items in a scene.

Have some progress. When speeding up the sword, I realized that because it might not actually touch an enemy between frames, the enemy would not take a hit. So now the hitbox changes size depending on the swing speed. I realized the same code could be used to add a little smear to the swing, so I added a slight trail to the tip of the sword.

>>173364120
There is absolutely a difference between someone who does something because the thing is cool, versus someone who does something because doing it is cool. Popping colored bubbles on a tablet doesn't mean someone is playing a videogame. The games industry wouldn't be around if not for people like /v/ that actually supported it back when there was social stigma around it. We helped nurture it, and suffered the slings and arrows of pop culture targeting us for derision, and now that theres a critical mass of dumb newbies that believe whatever the media tells them because they have no experience (and therefore no perspective) we can safely be cast aside as "entitled" or "dead", so games can be further Hollywoodized so substandard, bland, safe, manufactureable garbage can be sold reliably every quarter

While I agree with what this guy says, I think its ok to look a tutorials too if you hit a wall and don't know how to do something. Just try and figure things out yourself as much as you can and look at tutorials whenever you have to.
As for what tutorials to use, I used Shaun Spauldings Youtube videos on basic platformer stuff, although to be honest those videos aren't great and certain things he did are perfect examples of how NOT to do something. They were good enough for me to learn the basics though, so if you can't find anything better then consider trying them.

personally, I don't want gamers to play my game, or anyone else for that matter. It's just for me. I still want to put it on Steam, but with a Not For Sale sign, so everyone can see me at the #1-and-only spot on my game's leader board.

No reason to feel insulted.

>>173363909

no, thats what TABS is doing pretty much.

>>173367284
I don't follow you? I was being serious. I think my game could be the next big thing with YouTubers as everyone makes a Let's Not Play of my game.

Is the guy making the Megaman Battle network clone still alive?

Just started working on a game that's going to be like the CUBE movie but different.

>>173326452
Lava looks too much like walkable ground
Ground/lava way too goddamn noisy

otherwise: neat

>>173368957
which Cube movie? Anaconda, Boyz N the Hood, or Friday?

Hypercube is the best one so make sure you copy that one.

Animation is hard.

FUCK.

being 9 hours in this crap.

but...
I've learned so much doing it

pls rate.

where is that third world war people talked about yesterday

>>173369842
>unity.mp4

>>173369842
was that Blender Game Engine?

>>173370042
The higher res / more detailed you go, the more that skeletal-animation/rotating-fixed-limbs thing won't work.

confirmed dead. He was found in his apartment last weekend. Looks like a coke overdose.

never gets old

fuck guys, I've just had the greatest idea in ages. I feel like the patron deity of ideaguys just came down and touched me. THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT. YOU JUST WAIT, IN 5-8 YEARS, I'M COMING DOWN WITH THE GREATEST FEVER SINCE PÓKEMON.


THIS IS SO GREAT

IT'S MY LIFE'S MISSION FROM NOW ON TO MAKE THIS IDEA INTO REALITY

I JUST NEED TO WORK MY WAY UP UNTIL THE POINT I CAN GET A TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS TO CRYSTALLIZE THIS INTO A PITCH.

>>173370945

Why don't you tell us about your great idea, hmm?

>>173370842
For what purpose

>>173370945
games that use two mouse devices will not catch on

Is it a bad idea to edit the shape of UV islands to make them all square so I can easily edit and swap textures (for different clothes and shit)

>>173371231
what about two keyboards?

>>173371224

that's supposed to be the joke

>>173371047
IT'S A SHONEN COLLECTEMALL TYPE GAME/ANIME/EVERYTHING, WITH BOOKS. THE CHARACTERS DRAW THEIR POWERS FROM FREE-DOMAIN BOOKS, DRAWING WEAPONS CHARACTERS AND THE LIKE STRAIGHT FROM THEM. IT MAKES IT EASY TO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM ANY GREAT BOOK EVER WRITTEN, AND IF I GET THE DESIGNS, THE GAME AND THE ANIME RIGHT, I ALSO GET THE SUPPORT OF PARENTS BY DEFINITION SINCE THE FREE DOMAIN BOOKS WILL BE SOLD ATTACHED TO GAME CARDS/POWERUPS/DECKS. AND READING IS GOOD FOR KIDS.

AS LONG AS THE BATTLE SYSTEM FOR THE MOBILE GAME IS FUN, AND THE GACHA ELEMENTS AREN'T OVERBEARING........

I CAN HAVE A MAIN CHARACTER THAT LIKES OLD TOMES AS HIS MEDIUM, AND A COOL RIVAL CHARACTER THAT PREFERS READING STRAIGHT FROM HIS E-BOOK READER.

COULD ALSO HAVE OPTIONAL CHANTS AS A WAY OF SUMMONING THE CARDS

COULD DO SO MANY THINGS

AS LONG AS THE PRODUCTION VALUE IS HIGH

>>173371563
>agdg
>high production value

>>173371678
that's why I added the whole "I need to build up to a place where I can get a team of professionals to create something good enough for a BIG PITCH.

>>173366080
>>173367076

to expand on what this guy said, you should learn how to program first and then just look up platform game theory.

>>173371563
>no gameplay
>reading books
nope

>>173371231
Hammerfight was fucking great.

>>173371824

>AS LONG AS THE BATTLE SYSTEM FOR THE MOBILE GAME IS FUN, AND THE GACHA ELEMENTS AREN'T OVERBEARING........

the gameplay is paramount. but also are the character designs and anime. This is go big or go home.

it's probably to late to fix 9 hours in but i think the eyes and shoulder are a bit off, I tried to do a quick paint over to show how to help fix them. what software are you animating in btw?

>>173371913
>the gameplay is paramount
which is why you've outlined it so thoroughly

>>173372017
flash, learning all the quirks with the software.

planning on making a HD sprite from the animation, already asking in some semi dead forum some coder to make a game.

>>173372110
it's not just because I haven't figured the entirety of gameplay yet that i'm going to neglect it before pitching it. I'm not making the same mistake as pokemon go.

>>173372201
what kind of game?

>>173372661
a fighting game.

>>173372239
much like pokemon go your idea is neither good or bad yet because it doesnt connect to any concept of gameplay.
come back when you have something and it can actually be assessed.

so is flash what people program web games in these days or is there something new?

>>173372683
it's a good start btw

>>173372737
html5

>>173372720
I don't need to "come back". I just came up with this idea, and i'm making it a reality. I don't need it to be judged by you. This is a LONG LONG LONG term project. If I'm still around here while working out the details of this, it means it won't work out, because I won't have the resources needed to make the pitch. I need to be big enough before even considering working on this.
