>removes loli jam link
>still talks about loli jam in the OP
You are really retarded. Just delete the link and stop obsessing over lolis.

First for D

loli jam is a giant shitpost and attack on agdg and everyone involved is shit.

boycott and blacklist anyone involved in either of them.

>>173640785
It would be a nice start if the OP stopped talking about it.

>>173640592
>none of the loli jams are official /agdg/ jams.
No such thing as official but I agree it's not an agdg jam. There was no consensus and nobody is making games for it because they know it's not a real jam.

>>173640982

>When is next >>OFFICIAL<< AGDG Jam?

>Discord's weekend jams produced a lot of quality games

It's kind of fucked up that there are two agdg dev communities now but whatever. It's extremely obvious why it had to happen.

>>173641641
>>173641641
There is not even one quality game in either of those jams. When they produce something of quality,t hen I'll care.

>>173641670
Discord is just a chat program. The chat is called AGDG

>>173641778

>>173641802

problem?

>>173641132
It would be really nice if the jams were actually a week long and were advertised more thank 24 hours before starting.

>>173641670
>everything is decided by discord
That's why it's better. They can actually come to decisions as a result of banning pedophiles and shitposters who are obviously trying to derail things. That can't happen here and the result is a dead meme jam that nobody wants to touch and has been making the thread smell like roten tuna fish gogem shit for the past month or more.

There is much jealous here about discord and it's ability to put one foot in front of the other without eating shit.

>>173641910
Yes, discord is better.
So why are you here?

which jam is the thread agdg one?

Look how much you don't care.

>>173642054
I'm asking why we talk about discord's jams here

>>173641908
1 week is too long in my opinion, I never liked the agdg jams because they are just way too fucking long and just become background noise instead of a quick burst of devness like they are supposed to be.

Why can't we just all get along and become one dev family again?

>>173642148
Because it's amateur game development

>>173641979
The internet allows you to do more than one thing at once. Why would you ask such a stupid question? Is it because you're mad?

>>173642148
Because it's the only real agdg jam currently happening and we want to talk about gamejams.

But what are the actually good games in the weekend jams? I don't have time to play them all.

A big fat bong.

What's a good organization method for tiles in a 2D map for a TBS? More specifically, some tiles will have no function, some will have unique functions, etc. So I can't just give them a flag to determine how to render them, they need more going on. Should they all inherit from a base class? Or should I do this via composition or whatever the cool thing people do today is.

>discord picks real themes for their jams

Check the license for the individual font, they aren't all the same.

Also some font licenses don't like it when you actually distribute the font (e.g. in a video game) and only allow you to use the font in images and whatnot, check for that.

Progress:
+Enemy now reacts to successfully blocking a player attack
+Player now reacts to successfully blocking an enemy attack...if it's aimed at the face.
+Speaking of which, player now has a more fitting animation that indicates when they're guarding their face.
+Enemy now has a second attack!
+New enemy hurtbox types added. Timings of many enemy and player attacks adjusted.
+More behind-the-scenes groundwork laid for enemy AI.
+Player now has a 10 frame delay after throwing a punch before they can throw another punch from the same side of their body.

-That last patch note was something that was working before but broke so I had to fix it.
-image_speed keeps finding ways back into my animation code and it's annoying.
-People keep expecting the game to be lewd but I honestly don't know if my current artist is willing to make a porn game or not.

I'm almost never able to dev on weekends, so weekend jams are the worst for me. Sure the weekend jams usually have a Friday and/or Monday, but that's not nearly as fun as spending one whole week on the game.

So trying to make a looping animation in Blender and realized its not looping properly, and instead has a slight pause.

Upon further investigation, this seems to have something to do with F-curves? Going into the menu shows a clusterfuck of lines I cant imagine anyone should have to comprehend.

Is there some easy way to make my animations loop properly without trying to figure out whatever rocket science is going on with these lines? Will this even matter outside of Blender?

Not sure this is the best board for this, but:
I want to rip sprites from an existing 2d game (Downwell). What is the best way to do it? I'm thinking of using webmcam.

>>173649482
oh shit nigga what are you doing

>>173649646
I'm guessing a better way would be to actually rip them from the source code, but I wouldn't know how to do that.
Unfortunately there are no spritesheets of that game available.

>>173649863
Does webmcam capture perfect pngs with no compression artifacts? Your way might not be as dumb as it sounds if so. It would just be taking screenshots every frame. Probably good enough to see all the frames of animation.
For downwell in particular, the sprites are low res enough that you could manually redraw the sprites from reference. You ARE just using them for reference, right?

>>173650124
>You ARE just using them for reference, right?
Sure, not dumb enough to use copyrighted material. I just want to see a frame by frame sequence of the dust that forms when you jump/land on the ground.

>>173650573
Record it and replay in slow motion. Sometimes it's better than spritesheets because you can actually see the timing of the frames

>>173644675

What's an acceptable number of tris for a character, in a scene with at most 40 of them?

>>173652153

>>173652597
Depends, mate.

How complicated are the backgrounds?
How big of a focus is on the characters?
Where is the focus on the characters (overhead? straight on? behind them? etc)
How far away is the camera from the characters?
How important is it that your game can run on toasters?

If you answer these questions I won't personally give you an answer. Just something for you to chew on.

>>173652597
613 is usually my breaking point.

>i want to make a game in this genre

Is this bad design philosophy?

>>173652942
Well, it limits the possibility that you'll make something like Minecraft that will blow the world away.

If you really like a genre though, and you want to make a solid entry / an entry that pushes the genre... it's not too bad of a start.

>>173652942
If you have nothing of value to add to it, then yes. Another Platformer/Dark Souls/Kart Racer/etc. isn't going to make waves or wow anyone. One of those with new and interesting mechanics might though.

>>173653230
>One of those with new and interesting mechanics might though.
Then why does everyone hate "2D platformers with a twist"?

>>173652942
Any design philosophy that results in a fun game is a good one. That's all you really need to worry about.

>>173653331
Usually because the devs believe the twist is enough to compensate for otherwise poor level design or general quality.

Nothing fancy at all going on. Found some local nerd programmers who already have a working FPS build with placeholder models, so I get to do some assets that will be immediately put into a build rather than waiting on flaky programmers at every step.

To answer your question, fuck no renpy shit are not games. Make shitty rpgmaker games at least since those are actual (albeit usually shitty and lazy) games.
However, the "Unity 3D physics calculations everyone's working on" are mostly smoke and mirror, the engine does all the heavy lifting and most people here just drag and drop some assets, then design gameplay rules and that's it. Only the easy stuff is left to them while the real meat is handled by the engine.

1. Slow down on menu screens. You and players will spend .05 seconds in a menu but we don't know where everything is.
2. Tiling on the grass is painfully obvious.
3. The "ville" menu is very tasteful. It's certainly good enough for a prototype. With the nice pixel artwork, this one screen looks really good.
4. The next screen, with the two columns, is worse. With 4 total shades of gray, the minimalist style you had is destroyed. I would look for a way to still just use only black and white. Maybe dashed lines or 1- pixel lines for the rows of the table?
5. Can't really comment on the tetris inventory without seeing how actual items look. It looks like a prototype.
6. Overall unify your style, make it more like the one good screen. Black and white and the actual pixel art.

You do realize that people go to schools to learn coding for years on end and still manage to graduate without an understanding of SOLID principles? 20 hours ain't shit.

Sure, OK.

>>173658026
Hell yeah, looking good. I enjoy seeing your mecha.

I mean, he has a game, but his game sucks
it might even sell well, but that doesn't take away from the fact you can't tell what's going on, nothing looks all that good, the controls can be ass, the concepts aren't original, and the whole thing is so fucking saccharine it'll give you a toothache just looking at it
I want to like this, because it clearly has tons of effort put into, but honestly it sucks and he should stop working on it immediately or completely rework all of it

Bokudev, let me ask you something. What's your expectation for this game? It's cute, has a fun asthetic, maybe it's fun. I dunno.. But at the end of the day it's a puzzle game. I can't imagine it being a "hit", no matter how polished it is. Do you care either way?

>>173658550
hmm, I wouldn't know about that because I go to #dev and #voicetext and those both have a much broader span of users
I understand how you feel about the names but I think the fact that people can have their shitposting held against them counteracts it somewhat-- at least in theory anyway, I've seen more /pol/e smokers there than I have here for some reason

>>173658229
shouldn't it have eight tentacles? also yes they should have more bones, and the squeezing of the head is a bit extreme

>>173658820
One benefit of names is that the worst kind of shitposting that happens in here you know what I'm talking about isn't even possible in the discord.

>>173658815
Its my first game I just hope to make $10,000 maybe at the least and move on to the next. Its a puzzle game I wanted to make because I loved captain toad and puzzle games of that style. If its not a hit thats ok it will hopefully get a niche that feels the same way about puzzle games/captain toad like I do.

I didn't see the need for it. Saving some polys and animation bones for pretty much the same effect (it's not a representation of a real octopus anyway).

>also yes they should have more bones, and the squeezing of the head is a bit extreme
Yeah, will try to make a new rig for it to get better tentacles. Could possibly work okay with just the two front tentacles smoothed out.
I thought the head squeeze was okay - Going for a sort of cartoony look (with colorful blocks like these), and it will be rendered on small phone screens.
Is it really bad?

To make tumblrtale money or flappybird money or angry birds money or minecraft money, no amount of gameplay or graphics or anything is needed. It's pure marketing and nothing else. Notch shilled really hard for a very long time in very obscure venues to get the ball rolling, but the secret to his success is that he invented a new business method (early access) which exploits human patos perfectly (it's literally the same equilibrium as today's garbage MMOs).

You want to take full artistic control, right? The engine depends on what you're going to do. You're the boss.

962KB, 800x420px

Considering making EVERY level's camera follow boku
like webm related since getting really tired of camera complaints. Gonna add the ability to change the FOV variable on the camera on input to zoom in/out as well soon.

I love the static/rotate the camera around a level style but the complaints are getting way to high and annoying when its always "Fix your camera controls" "fix your camera", and then I ask whats wrong with them but the answer is always its not an issue of what inputs do what its the complaint they have issues with clarity and want the camera to follow boku.

I worry the /captain toad spirit of the game is killed off a bit more when its not a diorama like camera that you rotate around the level and less of off the character but oh well.

>>173661174
>let me take artistic control of your game

Learning an engine sucks
Making an engine also sucks
Everything sucks

>>173661625
Use Godot

>>173661609
So you'll just draw whatever it is I want?

>>173661410
Follow camera with a tight radius is the best for webms. The player is always visible in the center of the screen.

For actually playing the game, static camera might be better. Leave it as an option!

>>173661625
Make an image editor it's fun

>>173661625
making content sucks the most, once you've learned that shit

so you have that to look forward too

>>173661056
>>173660607
All sarcasm aside, I need someone like this. All of my ideas are just features, which I cool and I have fun implementing, but when it comes to putting an full game together I always draw a blank.

I need someone who can supply medieval/fantasy pixel art along the lines of the NES Castlevanias and I'd gladly let them take control of level design, enemy design, etc while I perfect my engine.

>>173661861
this but space and space pirates

I have so many prototypes, so many shells of games

>>173661625
I want to make an engine but I'll know I'll want to kill myself when I have to make it multiplatform

>>173661625
This. I decided to do what sucks less: making the engine.

>>173661410
Make the entire level slowly rotate constantly, and only slow down to almost standstill with player input.

Then add the option for first person bokube controls, including parenting the camera to the 'eyes' such that when bokube is face down or upside down etc, so is the view.

Why won't you give the people what they want bokubedev!?

>>173663862
Honored to see my content being used to shitpost. To get started and get a basic ramp shader, supply a light vector into your material (for example from a parameter collection), then do the dot product - and use this value as texcoord as the other guy described or just put an if statement. There should be tutorials floating around if you need more guidance. Mine supports self-shadowing and uses voodoo hacking with post-process material in addition to the material I described earlier (some inspiration taken from Jun Shimoda's cell shading materials freely available on UE forums). In the end, the final look will depend on how well-made your assets are.

>>173665049
From the little I've seen, they take commissions from ~$15 to $75 and beyond, depending on if it's a sketch, full color/shading/how many characters/etc

>>173665049
Depends on your prices, quality of art and demand for what fetish you cater towards. You can get anything from ten bucks to a couple hundred for a picture, upwards of thousands for an auction if you get popular enough. You're not likely to make a living off it but it can put some funbux in your pocket.

A majority of artists can make between $10~$100 a drawing. Better artists regularly make over that per drawing, and can get some pretty huge Patreons rolling. If you can animate, expect $500+ commissions and Patreons over $5000 a month.

not a high bar but if you think you're a good programmer do a simulation of a subject that interest you.

Currently I am working on a free small-scoped content to get my name known and fleshing out the development pipeline as I am integrating some technology I haven't worked with before.

>>173661046
What shader was used on the one on the right?

>>173665997
The worst part is that it's not even a commission, the guy paid that much just to have a pre-drawn image recolored.

I seriously don't understand why everyone here isn't making furshit games. These guys make my year's salary in a month off flash games and tweened animations.

>>173665937
Once you clear a minimum bar of quality, being a good programmer is inversely correlated with game dev success.

>>173665937
you ride a unicycle through the whole game
you can get off it or be knocked off it but if that happens you can't move
when you're off the unicycle you can hit things with it
various other mechanics are derived from using the unicycle or attaching things to it
the easiest difficulty has a bicycle instead, the hardest difficulty has a pogo stick, or maybe those are powerups or something

it's not too hard, you just pick the first remotely appropriate thing that comes to mind and then branch off from there
if that is hard for you, you can just practice; a few weeks of practice, or a couple months at most, and you'll be able to crank out ideas like that inside of three minutes

>>173665835
If you are using Unity, you can set it so the entire workspace besides the game view is tinted when testing in play mode.

While you're testing any changes you make are not saved upon exiting, so I tint it red to remind myself of that.

It can be frustrating to position something just right from the players perspective in game, then have it all undone because of something so simple.

Then there's Recast/Detour written by the former Crysis AI guy, Mikko Mononen. It supports multiple agents who avoid each other, too. But damn, I've read great tutorials about it a few years ago but can't find them anymore... Searching for it only found this here (well it's the official/original blog and github, though, so it could help)

well, if I had no morals, I wouldn't make furry shit, but the point is that I have morals.

there's always a premium for doing evil shit, like drawing gay anthropomorphic animals, murdering babies, being a hitman, a whore, a stripper, a pornographer, a slaver, or some other shit.

The devil will happily make you wealthy if you'll increase the evil and vile things in the world.

How could I improve it? I can only do lines or rectangles.

>>173668239
If you're not prepared to go beyond shitting something out in 30 seconds with paint, then it won't ever look passable.

I'm really not in any place to give tips, senpai.

But I will say that it is worth really thinking out just how much you need your inventory to do for you.

Maybe you can get away with just having a bunch of int Apple, int Rock, int Greatsword. for an inventory if you have a manageable number of items in your game.

or you could write a Item class, which stores an Items name, its values, a string for a description. Then you could create a List or dictionary for those items.

The one I followed is in six of seven parts on youtube when you search Unity Inventory Tutorial, and has you create a .json file and a dictionary. I've probably followed it at least four or five times by now, and just this last time did enough pieces fall into place that I'm able to write most of the behaviors I'm looking for.

I'm far from finished with mine, but having a clear, concise idea of the number of items and the way the should interact, possibly written down on paper for reference would probably be a good place to start.

>>173667918
You may be made fun of, but honestly you're right.

>>173668340
>>173668239
Take whatever advice you like. But there is no graphic style worse than low-skill naive programmer art. Raw text on rectangles is FAR better than attempting to make a good UI and failing.

95% of the games being made in this thread are a vice barely better than porn.

Video games, for the most part, aren't pandering to sexual impurity and demoralization.

I'm curious to know what else you believe is a vice.

can you guys post the best flight arcade games with 3 dimensions of freedom?

not looking for simulations of any kind. looking for fast games with unrealistically good control.

thanks as always

(I didn't make this picture but I wish the guy who did still posted here)

I'm not using paint, I'm programming the UI. Everything is soft-coded so I could easily resize the UI anytime I want to.

>>173668239

I want to say you're wrong but I can't think of any examples. Pack it up and go home everyone.

>>173668758
Think about what a vice is. It's a misdirected effort, a waste, turning useful potential into nothing. You say "sexual impurity and demoralization". Why are those bad things? Because they are detrimental to society's ability to propagate itself.

Video games, like porn, isolates you from society. They mimic a real activity, without the useful results.

Here's the thing: a wealthy society can afford a certain amount of vice. Currently the west is the wealthiest society EVER, so we have huge portions of society stay home fapping and gaming, and barely notice the effects.

I personally don't know where to draw the line, but games and porn are different only in degree, not in kind. In a poorer leaner society, both would be stigmatized out of existence.

>>173669115
are you using CSS or what? at least change the colors to brown and grey etc to match the style of your game. think runescape

>>173668763
Not really arcade, but my all-time favorite flight game with 3 dimensions - or rather 6 degrees of freedom - is/was Descent. There's a pretty good modern clone, too, Miner Wars 2081(?). Ded game, but great engine.

>>173669115
If you're not prepared to use sprites in your UI then it will never look passable. Lines and rectangles only look decent for retro scifi UIs and even that's pushing it.

>>173669279
>are you using CSS or what?

Nope, just soft-coding everything.

>>173669295
There's a semi-current gen Descent that's in development, but it's looking more like it's in development hell.

You'd have tile types as a class. Examples could be snow type, dirt road type, etc. Up to you how to structure that, can be a base class and each different kind of tile is a sub-class, or just a single class with fine-grained properties (a tile type class with properties like move speed multiplier, defense multiplier, etc and a snow type could simply be set to 0.5 move speed multiplier, and dirt road would have 2.0 move speed multiplier). The type of game you are making should help inform which method is best.

Your map would be an array of these tile types

On the topic of UI, how do you guys tackle multiple resolutions? Do you dynamically resize and reposition everything, or just use a few precomputed layouts?

>>173669416
Cool, got a link? Descent used to be my favorite game, even bought a flight stick just for it.

>>173667918
What's a saint like you doing in a place like this?

>>173669701
Depends if the UI components are scalable without loss (3d or 2d vector art) or pixel art (in which case preparing them for multiple resolutions looks much better). Done both.

fuck
yes
I'm finally done with my latest batch of changes... and this is about all I have to show for it
at least now I can move on to other things and I won't have this knowledge hanging over me that I'm using a bunch of duplicated code, or that have a serious control-change issue or a different not-so-serious control-change issue

Working on camera code that pans out from boku's face at the start of every level, and pressing an input makes the camera follow boku, pressing that input again makes it snap back to the "panning around the center of the stage" camera mode.

The way you are using the word makes it seem that anything that isn't benefiting yourself is a vice. A "vice" is a wicked or immoral activity. Playing a video game can be a vice in the same way that you can do too much gardening or building model airplanes. Porn is an actual vice in the sense that it is toxic for your moral and mental health.

>>173669542
you ever look at something
and think why are people apply this logical rule inconsistently
but do you ever consider that maybe there is more than one rule at play here
and the structure of the problem is more complex
maybe there is a reason why the thing has this structure
maybe not
but at least think about it

So the newest version of Unity is actually decent for 2d?

No. They still haven't implemented the 2D tools they promised two years ago.
