I wanted to make some comfy slope surfing thing, but ended up making it a fucking speed demon as always.
Thanks to that, sliding is actually viable now, and it let me bring back slope speed buildup into the game.

I still enjoy video games, but I spend a lot more time thinking about how the systems or effects in the game might work. Now that I understand what goes into a game, it's fun to think about how the games work.

I do play games a lot less now. I rarely spend more than 30 minutes playing a game. Then I go back to attempting to gamedev. Then I get frustrated at my lack of skill and play another 30 minutes.

The array in question is a 2d array of Tile objects that form a grid-based map. The map loads perfectly the first time around, and it loads maps saved to disk perfectly too, but after I load a few different maps I get the out of range error when my tiles are looking for their neighbors, which is done by comparing a tile's x,y coords to the map grid's 2D array.

So it makes no sense to me why I get the error only sometimes and only after loading a few maps in succession. Really frustrating.

This is in Unity btw.

>>173971020
are the maps different sizes?

>>173971084
Yes.

But every time I load a new map I resize the array by doing:
Tile[,] tiles = new Tile[width,height];

Hey aggy
I managed to make models so bad that my game now has 42 million tris and I just started ;_;

what's a good amount of tris I should aim for that'll run on ~10 y/o potatos without problems?

>>173972661
under 10k

>>173972661
tri count literally doesnt matter.
Its how well you can optimize.

>>173972661
are we talking potatoes with or without graphics cards?

>>173972661
Use normal maps.

The only models that should even approach 100k are your character models. Everything else should be as low poly as possible without destroying the visual fidelity.

Now you're going to ride the poorly rated series that is the gogem show into the dirt like all greedy out of touch franchise owners do when they know they have nothing left in the tank. Reduced to making menu simulators without even a hint of effort, might as well just go full pedo and try to get locked up as a gamedev for attention.

>>173973909
it's all pre-emptive damage control by gogem for the past week because he knows his loli rape game is going to be torn to shreds and he's going to be reported for CP many times.

here's some good info anon pointed out the other day that can really explain a lot of this.

>Histrionic personality disorder

>seeks attention
>talks dramatically with strong opinions
>is easily influenced
take a look at his twitter and compare his political ranting last year to now. he jumps the trump bandwagon after being a raging liberal because he has no self awareness. he will do and say whatever he thinks will make him fit in on 4chan. he believes we are a site of pedophiles and trump memes therefore we will like him.
>thinks relationships are closer than they are
remember when he said "hopoo is my friend" because he and hopoo happened to post in the thread at the same time?


https://youtu.be/iQ0e3QUADw8?t=2m30s

what's interesting is that one of the worst namefags ever was a student of gogem. he was also a gay pedophile who sought attention by harming the thread and also had histrionic personality disorder down to a t. very interesting.

>>173974393
the problem that if go up a slope and it ends, the player lunch itself before landing again, it's more obvious if you have a triangle shaped slope, when it reaches the tip it flies before landing back on the slope, i want to make it snap to the slope (like in megaman, you never leave the ground regardless if you slide up or down)

Oh it goes way beyond that. Gogem has attempted to befriend and manipulate many well known devs in here and then gets all crazy girlfriend on them when they don't open their arms and offer him a free ride of exposure. He seriously thinks anyone who doesn't flame him to his face is his friend and therefore owes him things.

>>173975519

How does buying original music for a video game work? Do you just tell them what you want and they make it? Do you send them your game and ask them to make something that fits it or something?

Gogem was doing much better in agdg when he still had his shitposters working the thread over making him look like sane in comparison. Not so much now. Now it's just him by himself with his own loli jam and he lost any respect he had here years ago.

You can't really dogfight, so you just lumber around and watch turrets. Which looks cool but isn't fun, and can be done from the view of a cockpit.

That's probably because X (most spacesims for that matter) are usually very limited in the sense that you can only fly your ship, but not really interact with it.

Suddenly I have a shit ton of creative energy, I want to work on multiple things at the same time, and even when I chose devving from that list I just end up facing a shit load of features which all interests me equally and can't make up my mind where to start.

So I've been hit with a sudden burst of inspiration and want to make a dark souls-esq game.

DS3 disappointed me on several levels but I still love the mechanics. I want to pretty much emulate the gameplay of the souls series and not balance the game like a headless retard.

How hard would this be for someone with fuck all programming knowledge, and where should I start?

>>173983629
your inspiration won't last you anywhere near long enough to get that far

>>173983420

okay, i'll accept that. you could add some weapon variety though like photon torpedos and missiles to spice things up a little.

>>173983629
>I want to pretty much emulate the gameplay of the souls series
>How hard would this be for someone with fuck all programming knowledge

absolutely fucking impossible

Can you describe your game's gameplay in eight words or less without going into the aesthetics or story/themes? If it boils down to "run around and shoot things" you should consider adding more interesting mechanics tbqfwy

>>173983576
Light sure moves slow in your universe, the beams themselves look good, but the way they travel looks silly

>>173983629
Pretty hard, I imagine.
Start with actually learning a Programming language.

Its still like this since yesterday. I wish i can do something to end this loop.
I don't like to leave an unfinished game again.

>>173983820
Thanks for the feedback. I'll increase the speed.

>>173983792
I do have torpedoes, missiles and rockets for fighters and i'm adding in missile launchers for the cruisers today.

I'll need to make a some nice missile trails. But yeah more variety will be good.

>>173983965
the VFX/programming are mine but the models aren't. I'm working with the artist though.

>>173983801
like what?
and you better think this through
if it boils down to "push some buttons, pull some levers, collect something, to open the path", you should consider hanging yourself tbqfwy

>>173983954
Face the brutal reality anon: the cuteness of the model is not a necessity to work on game play. Don't let asset creation put you on a hold. Put it on the shelf and come back to it later and work on something else in the mean time.

>>173983820

not entirely impossible, i've seen videos where scientists slow down a beam of light so that that you can actually see a beam of constant length travel through space.

Physical reality =/= the most compelling artistic result. There should be a delay so you can have a moment of tension before the beam hits.

>>173985126

even those laser beams in strar wars don't really move at the speed of light. also lasers don't make sounds in real life and are colourless. but that doesn't make for very interesting vfx.

Literally impossible. As a 1MA even more impossible because you're going to be bogged down with all the boring shit like 3D modeling and animation before you can start on the gameplay proper.

I'm speaking from my own experience, as I've also tried making a demons/dark souls clone and it didn't end well. I'm assuming it'll end about the same if not worse for you because I already had around a year of programming experience before I started.

I'd say that artists and programmer should be the same tier.

Good artists rarely can program so they don't get shit done.

Good programmers rarely can do good art, so their prototypes look like shit and they give up.

>>173985365
>colourless
lasers have color (since color is just a result of wavelength) but since all of the photons are moving in the same direction, you can't see the laser until at least some of its photons are diffracted (such as when a laser passes through a mist or hits an object)

laser weapons are actually possible in real life though, but the most useful implementations are large laser turrets:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-SCnrmRrKg

Even then, they work just by generating a lot of heat at a focused location. The explosions in the video are from when the laser has been focused on munitions/explosives.

>>173986491
You forgot to do the part where you actually start programming. If you're doing all this other stuff to avoid writing code, then yeah, programming probably isn't for you.

As far as planning architecture goes, you should be doing that while you program, not before, because you're going to encounter problems/ideas that didn't occur to you during the planning phase. And if you aren't working on a team of programmers, then there isn't much reason to even write out the architecture when you can just immediately program it, and modify it as needed as you go.

The biggest reason was because I severely underestimated the amount of time it would take to make something that didn't look like absolute ass. Looking back at it now I definitely should've just thrown together some shitty placeholders and worked from there.

Truth be told, even if I had spent 100% of my time on the gameplay and left the assets for later I probably still would have ended up dropping it because of how much I loathe doing art.
