Redesigned the card system so now it's a simpler (but more intuitive and appealing) system similar to Magic. You have temperament cards (similar to land cards) that have a limited amount of charge, every active card you play drains the energy until the temperament card is destroyed. You can play one temperament card per turn, and endless active cards so long as you still have energy for them. Easy.

Also giving the Sanguine deck it's own mechanic - oxygen. Every active Sanguine card you play gives other Sanguine cards oxygen, which makes them more powerful (if they use oxygen).

Came up with 7 cards for this system so far, but 2 (momentum and energetic) don't have card art yet.

Excuse the jerky camera snap when battle starts, I'm trying out a static camera angle for combat.

We know what you're trying to do here bokudev.

>>173747809
Looks good, albeit a bit cramped.

If you don't need to teach the player about all three of those obstacle conditions at once for the next stage, it might be a bit much.

Perhaps consider maybe making each of those tutorial sections it's own thing at the start of a level, then a level or two with that as the main obstacle, then the next tutorial level, then start combining them.

I've ran into a problem, if anyone has any advice - the healthbars above people's heads take up too much room. Once there are 4 players (standard party size) and however many monsters in a battle it's going to be way too cluttered.

How can I fix that? I can make the healthbars smaller but that doesn't feel like enough. Hide healthbars unless you mouse over a target or it's their turn?

>>173747432
>I have no idea whats going on

That's my bad, probably shouldn't record progress in the spooky dark forest. I'll have to do a demo at some point if just to stress test the server, but I'll need an actual server before that happens. One that isn't running off my PC.

wheres that bot thing that posts all the games being worked on? interested in what is being made.

Damn, writing tests feels great. Fixed 4 bugs already, and they're bugs I would probably never have found out until it was way too late.

>>173750113

Yeah exactly give it a try and see how well it works

>>173742672
You should always display the whole grid, otherwise you can only guess the distance between units and it does nothing but frustrate.

>>173750574
I'd recommend a less-chunky health bar. I don't think the border width around the health bars need to be that thick, and the "4" and red dots take up a lot of room. Do they serve an important purpose?

>>173750574
Provide a toggle (including a button) for healthbars. They're good as is most of the time but there are situations where you want to disable them for a second.

>>173750725
Ok I'll give that a try next.

>>173750737
Good idea, I'll add that tomorrow, probably with it turned off by default with a toggle option.

>>173750838
>I'd recommend a less-chunky health bar

I figured, but wondered if that'd be enough. The 4 and the red dots are movement points and attack points. They're both important combat stats to tell if a monster can reach you and how much damage they'll do.

>>173750714
How are those laser shots being done? Particles or are they just moving along some axis? It's very apparent that they are inheriting the rotation of the gun/wrist, upon firing you could set the parent of the laser blast to null, and destroy it after some time after being fired.

>>173751354
It's a particle system attached as a child to the blaster.
I'm trying to figure out how to make it work regardless of player's transform.

a simple fix could just be to make them press a key to show the health bars.

Okay, so right now you have it something like, when ever you receive player input, you play the particle system?

I think you could instead place an empty object at the barrel of the blaster, as a child of the blaster.

Then make a prefab out of the particle system.

And whenever you want to shoot, you would instead Instantiate that particle system at the barrel emptys location and rotation, and set to destroy itself after a few seconds.

I would have concentrated effort on the single most compelling feature in the game. Your game reminds me of the guy who made gunpoint, because in a talk he was talking about this new game he was making, a top-view 2d spaceship game similar to yours.

His visuals are lacking compared to yours and without any fleshed out world or lore yet, and yet I'm more interested in his game, because of this: he toyed around with the idea of letting you hijack an enemy spaceship while in mid-fight, ejecting out of your own spaceship, forcing entry into the enemy's ship, cause some havoc, maybe tackle enemies into emergency doors, out to space, then fly right back into your own ship, maybe plant a time bomb in the enemy ship before you escape, it sounds a lot of fun

tl;dr there's many ways to create a compelling game, but if you're a cash-strapped indie, sandbox elements in your combat works wonders

It's going to be an arcadey game where you are a rocket trying to get as high as you can.
You use your jet to boost yourself upwards, but the jet flame particles are also your only weapon - So to get past blocks (like pic related) and hurt enemies that come for you, you have to turn the jet towards them and try not to get thrown completely off course or fall to your death.

resorting to ripping off decent sprites until i figure out spriting i guess

So I've started Unity a few days ago.. and I've actually done quite a few tutorials from start to finish. I'm enjoying it, but I want to start doing my own stuff.

The problem is I don't feel like I know anything, I just feel like I'm reading off a script with tutorials and when I want to do my own stuff I don't really know what I'm doing. Anyone else go through something like this?

You need to actually retain the things you're being taught when you watch a tutorial. Don't just do it and go "Neat! I got it working!". You need to know how and why it works.

If you have an idea for a game (something small. Start with something SMALL.), look up some tutorials for that kind of game or specific parts of it. Watch, follow along, retain the information, and tweak some things here and there from the stuff you've learned to make it your own. It's okay if it's shit. Gamedev is a skill just like anything else. You need to study and practice.

What do if you want to add multiple tags (or rather nested categories) to gameobjects in Unity? Stuff all relevant keywords into 1 single tag then check for substrings? Or is there a better way?

Actually the problem is mostly the lack of vertical movement. Especially at the crossover point. The leg with weight under it should be more under the the centre of gravity as well, it's too far back atm.

I say more frames as the leg length is very inconsistent. This is fine for emphasis at the beginning and ending of movements as emphasis, but since that's all there is it just looks like shitty inconsistent anatomy. Having a few more frames would allow the squash-stretch to shine.

The hair and eyes look really good, but the beak needs some work. Maybe lighten or gradient that back leg a bit

Something like that, yes. Pretty standard for games with huge maps. Helps a lot with rendering performance - and also physics (i.e. only simulate shit near the player, ignore stuff he can't see anyways, except for "vital" stuff which needs to be ticking all the time).

Is this here a legit solution for mapping screen coordinates to my map coordinates - or am I completely retarded?

First I tried simply casting to int, but obviously that didn't work in the range 0 to -0.9 because I want those to be -1, not zero... You know what I mean?

>>173770375
What I mean is... I know the "better" way would be to use a floor function (or ceiling function depending on where I want 0,0 to be), but I kinda assumed that casting to int might be cheaper... so I subtract the negative coords by 1. Is that ok or just dumb?

>>173770375
Don't use clever optimizations like this unless you know you need them. If Floor() more correctly expresses what you're trying to do, use it.

Hello aggydaggy

I have done 5 game jams now, the most recent being done all by myself. I feel really comfortable with the engine I'm working with and think that I want to be more serious about it.

How do I get to being "proficient" or having "strong" experience with the engine that I see everywhere in job advertisements? Also, isn't it a bad thing that I'm self-taught? Because job advertisements all want CS majors.

Also, how do I build a portfolio? Do I just link my most recent game jam entries in my CV's pdf file? How do I know something is good enough to put on there?

Lastly, how do I polish my game jam entries when I have time to polish them? My impression is that making the UI prettier is how you polish your projects. Am I wrong?

>>173770816
>Also, how do I build a portfolio?
Make shit, put it in your portfolio if you think it won't embarrass you in some way.

>>173770790
And you've got to take a chance that the asset you buy is still being supported, will work with whatever version of Unity you have and won't be marked as deprecated in a week.

>>173770816
Did you get any feedback from your game jam projects? If so, try and act on the feedback and maybe add some extra content et cetera.

>>173770816

>Is it ok to only use blueprints?
yes. look at snake pass.

>>173771617
That was a blueprints only game?

>>173771568
You can use Blueprints to make an entire game if you want.

As for Unity, what you'd need depends on your project but you'd definitely want a new input system (Rewired), audio tools (Master Audio), particle tools (Particle Playground) and shader editor (Amplify Shader Editor).

>>173771113
The feedback I get from game jams sometimes has always been either nonexistent or positive.

>>173771656
>>173771568
Blueprints is absolutely Cool and Good.

>>173771863

Comfy roof can also lighten your cabin. And a roof like that would be more likely covered with smaller planks, or quare wood tiles, or maybe some thatching, since that'd be cheap, quick and readily available. Also you wouldn't have a huge log on the top of the roof like that.

The glory of ue4 lies in the usage of both blueprint and c++.

I run UT Outpost 23 on almost maxed and almost 1080p while having a decent framerate on a 560ti, so i wouldn't say it's that bad in this regard.

This video says literally nothing without hardware and frametime info.
Also there is literally zero interaction in these video (which is kind of the point of a videogame).

Stop. Graphics don't matter.

r8 my game concept
>RPG
>game consists of travelling the world, trading, fighting in wars, buying & developing land, romancing women, building alliances and friendships with people of skill or influence
>eventually can become a landed lord/political figure, assemble court etc
>battling consists of strategic movement of troops in the area of fighting

Is it:
>good
>fun
>cool

Should it:
>render the world 3D or 2D/isometric?
>have turn based or real time battles?
>have an ageing element where you play as a child for the first 10 minutes to develop skills/childhood friends?
>be historical or fantasy setting?

I am indulging in about a week of 'side project' prototyping so I will probably miss Recap Monday because all I have done on my main is code with no visual progress that I can post. I am giving myself a week for this because I know if I don't it will just nag at me and make my progress slower on my main as I think about it. At least by prototyping it I can stop wondering 'what-if' and (hopefully) put it on the backburner as "this isn't a complete waste of time, I will come back to this afterwards"

>>173776142
Me, it started from an idea I had about a simple game but I daydreamed too much and expanded the concept.

Simple game:
>you are a prince
>there is some number of randomly generated fellow princes and princesses
>prince stats include dueling skill, wealth, etc
>princess stats include tittys and ass
>the game takes place at a ball or other event over the course of a week or so
>get points by fucking princesses
>princes act as obstacles that you can either ally with or against to boost your social capital

>>173776275
I was more worried someone would draw CK2 comparisons.
I like M&B too. My problem is that my ideas are based on games I think I'd like to play, not so much games I think I could make in a reasonable amount of time.
Somebody's got to do the fantastically ambitious bullshit idea-fagging.

>>173776420
I don't see any difference between your idea and M&B. Also i don't think it looks like something you can get done in a reasonable amount of time anyway.

>>173776070

>>173776501
M&B doesn't always tickle my autism right. I want something with the fun of M&B with the vassal system of CK2, but with more RPG elements.

Yeah I know the scope is sillybig. Instead then, what do you think of the simpler idea I outlined?

why is the Microsoft Wired 600 such an awful keyboard? I miss my 200...
