What are some mechanics you'd like to see in a card game? I'm experimenting with have 2 types of mana (aggressive and defensive) that the player chooses 1 of at the start of every turn. I figure it'd be a good way to allow different types of decks to build different while getting rid of the same mana curve for everyone. Also allow trap (instant, auto triggered) and sorcery (prepaid spells that only activate on your turn) to be played face down. This way decks can still have 'reactions' while keeping up the pace of an online game, and also allow for mind games.

what's your experience with collabs anon?

The goal of the artist-bait is not to destroy someone's hope of a collab. It's about getting people to comment - ideally rage - about the existence of the artist-bait.

Funny how a few dashing particles are still more demanding than a whole map on fire.
Now I really want to make a jungle level which climaxes at feeling of regret.

>>174440223
It's absolutely a concerted effort to create an environment in which agdg is incapable of collaborating. The shitposter picks a topic he doesn't want in the general and shitposts about it until people start filtering it or assuming it's bait automatically.

>>174440223
Or maybe, just maybe, collabs don't always work out. Feelings get hurt I understand that, but it's better to accept it and move on instead of crying like a baby

>>174440307
This burns my eyes. I'm not trying to be funny. I'm just serious.

>>174439707
Slows down the game, makes getting flooded a possibility, and takes up "deck space". Heartstone is really nice in that you never have to worry about those, but it's too restrictive imo. Everyone has the same ramp. With 2 (or maybe 3? Idk) mana types that you can reliably get I hope to expand the possibilities for deck types while also not guaranteeing the same power curve.

>>174440084

Collabs can and do happen. The key is to simply not follow the bait formula to a T.

>>174440307
I dunno how early production this is and you were probably intending to add them. but I think this could really benefit from some BG fire effects and heat distortion

>>174440462
I'm going to disagree with you on that, but then it's your game. I prefer lands in M:tg and really dislike HS approach.

As for your stuff, my general advice would to just appeal to every type of player archetype, the Timmy/Johnny/Spike thing. I'm personally more of a comboJohnny, so i'd like to see more of combo stuff in TCGs.

Do you specialize in 2D or 3D?

Particle emitters for the fire and dash respectively.

>>174441358
No thanks

>>174440990
Any suggestions on how to have a happy medium then? I want to keep the same quick pace as most online TCGs, but like I said I do dislike the heartstone approach. Maybe a mana deck you can choose to draw from instead? Or a hard cap on how much mana you could draw per game?

And yea that's my main goal. Give combo, control, aggro, and midrange all different choices (or at least the option) while also making other niche decks at least viable.

They are almost the same, except dash particles use per-particle lighting (pretty much just drawing the same particle to lighting layer instead of using circular light like fire emitter), but switching the render buffer with each draw kills the performance. Once I get particle batching, it will be fixed.

>>174441443
I honestly have no idea man.I'd just go with lands, but i can understand how you see it can slow the game down. For me lands make someone remember that he might not have mana at this and this turn to fire their awesome combo or drop that great 5 mana creature. Hearthstone system is on one hand good, because you know you'll have mana for this card at this time, but at the same time you can't fight it - you can't destroy a land, make the enemy slower, hasten your own mana generation, etc etc. People forget lands aren't only "you draw a land and drop it", there's a whole part of mtg built around manipulating lands.

Btw don't do the random shit like HS does, as in "deathrattle: shit out something random lulz XD", it's terrible design.

>>174442041
That's not making me want to work with you any more, but good day to you anyhow

So would you be satisfied if there were mana creation/destructions cards? Because that's in the realm of possibilities.

Working on the first enemy.

So if he detects you, he will start pulling you in with his beam. You can still escape it by moving in another direction but it's hard. The beam is very powerful, so powerful that it will throw other shit around. I think I might've gone a bit overboard here but it's funny.

I need to make his hand move separately from his body (so laser doesnt look that weird but his hands follow reaper movement) and the detection radius needs to be bigger.

>>174444741

Is being attacked by the ghost buster some kind of punishment failstate or can it provoked without a significant fuckup? If the latter then there should be a more interesting way of counteracting his beam than simply moving away from him.

I'm so fucking confused. Using GameMaker, I've got the player controlling two different objects that will function as the whole character you control. Left arrow moves left, right moves right, etc. I've got a piece of code that states that the upper object's x postion is equal to the lower object's x in the step event. Yet every time I move left or right, I get this tiny fucking offset like in pic related and I don't fucking know why it won't fix itself back.

>>174445037
I don't know game maker but I assume that it has to do with the execution order. First the top snaps to the bottom's position, THEN the bottom moves.

>>174445037
post that piece of code

>>174445037
Upper object is setting its position before lower object moves, making it one frame behind.

A better way of doing this would be changing the position of both objects in the input event.

>>174445018
The "ghost buster" can be called by an AI if you fuckup and raise the tension too much (the panic state of the whole level).

So when he comes, he has pathfinding around the level. He will track you down with his beeping device (similar to alien tracker from movies). You need to avoid him. One option I'm adding is that you can break his laser and bounce it into him with a special object (mirror?), which renders him unconscious for a while.

You can also use him creatively and kill your targets with him (as seen on webm) as he doesn't care about them too much.

>>174445037
Are you using image xscale? The spriteflip fucks up the origin on sprites that are an even number of pixels across. Is the offset permanent (I get the impression that it is from "won't set itself back)? If it only happens while moving then you need to set the dependent object to the other object's x in the end step rather than the step.

>>174445189
>A better way of doing this would be changing the position of both objects in the input event.
If the game is very simple nothing but input is going to move these two objects (and he isn't going to have more objects that behave the same way), sure. Otherwise, nah. He's better off setting one object's position to the other in the endstep.

>>174441656
Vim is the worlds greatest text editor. Maybe Spacemacs comes close.

>>174443330
How are you getting the snek to follow without stutter stepping behind you? I find that usually when I have PT members they will move then stop then move then stop while following the leader.

>>174445245
>>174445159
Changing it to end-step worked. I don't know why I was stupid and didn't think of execution order, thanks guys.

>>174445216
The mirror thing sounds cool and I definitely think you should do something along those lines (it would take advantage of the systems you have in place and better integrate the elements of your core gameplay), but if it takes the player making two big fuckups in order to get into the "being pulled in by beam" situation then it's more forgivable if the player isn't given a whole ton of options for escaping it (though again I think more options would be better in this case and agree with the solution you presented).

>>174445534
I don't think it's right to call Vim intuitive unless you're used to reading a book to understand 35% of the features of an editor.

>>174444097
What engine are u making that on? Thinking of making a VN as my first game...

Also you need music

>>174445537
Every timestep the player's position is updated and stored in a vector. Before the frame is drawn, it iterates over the vector from the start and calculates distances (without square roots for efficiency) for every entry, and on each multiple of whatever the follow distance is set to, it sets that party member to that position. When it reaches the last party member it deletes everything in the vector after that last point. So it guarantees that party members move the same fixed amount per timestep as the player, meaning no stutter-stepping

There's absolutely a better way to do it, but premature optimization is the enemy of finishing and it hasn't caused any problems so I'm leaving it as is for now

>>174445914

I've used flowchart software before to get the exact mechanics down.

In general word documents are pretty bad for game design, since everything is connected to everything else in a design, so the linear flow doesn't really work. Now that I think of it, a wiki is perfect: lots of linking, version control, and ability for the whole team to edit

you can use one script and one object for everything, just use some switches to do different things ;)

For your state machines, how much of your state specific logic to you relegate to separate functions and how much of that are switch/case or if statements?

What's a good guide for getting started with GM:S?

>>174456137
Because a female would be needed to voice most agdg platformers.

>>174456405

So using Unity as an example. In the update function I first check what state the player is in. From there I determine what action that takes place when a keyboard key is pressed. This is all bundled up in update.

My question is as this gets more complex will I run into performance/delay issues with this. Or will having cases do enough to make sure it isn't constantly checking through tons of code.

>any idea how to make the sword hitbox depend on the animation?
Do you have anything like the character's orientation instead ? You could just use add an offset based on that.
Also like the other anon said, the camera is a bit weird.
Personally I'd put the action at the middle of the screen. Maybe put the info/hud on the bottom.

>>174461927
Define your covers by a volume, make the AI do a raycast from your player to them to check if the player can shoot them, if they can, they rush to the closest "cover volume".
That's how I'd do it, but you lose the capacity to do dynamic covers (like for instance if a car crashed in)

>>174462585
>What about making the player's speed smaller?
will it fix the player constantly losing sight of things he's supposed to shoot at?

>>174462585
Camera smoothing might help but the big issue i see you having is off-screen danger not being apparent. Which is very frustrating to player, especially during boss-fights.

A possible middle-ground could be a dynamic camera that approximates a good zoom level. But that is a lot of work for something that could be very neat, or just bad.

>>174462535

I left out movement because it works fine, I have only problem with animations which have to play only once and switch state back
if you hold fire or reload you get a frozen 1st frame of their animation
when you let go they play as they should and switch back to idle

you can also spam both and that's obviously not good, but I haven't figured out how to prevent it

>>174462518

Can somebody here please help (noob here)?
In Unity, how can I make it so, that animate an empty object with a trail, have it following the player object (it's a child of it), but let the trail only get influenced by the movement of the animation of the empty object, not by the movement of the player object?

I hope I described this somehow understandable. I basically want an empty object to follow the player (as a child), and give this empty object an own animation (like rotating around the player for example), and also a trail. But I want the trail not being influenced by the movement of the player, just by the animation of the empty object.

I'm having a really strange problem with gamemaker and I can't understand why.
Basically my code is reading the value of an array as 3 when its actually 4, I don't understand. I have the debug menu open and the array value that's being read is clearly 4 yet gamemaker is acting as if its 3.
Does anyone know what could possibly cause this?

>>174464653
Its spending the first frame converting to the new state.

Im pretty sure you want to make key_fire use keyboard_check_pressed() instead of keyboard_check(). it appears frozen because each step you are setting the image index back to 0.

also I'd put scr_getinputs() at the top of the step event.

Ok so basically this is for a grid based strategy game, this is part of a script that will should be creating a 2d array representing a the grid, where if the there is a player on that tile it will be equal to 1 (prior to this code being run the array is already set up so everything is 0).

This is being done by looping through another 2d array I have which represents the units, where the global.Units[u,4] is equal to the x coordinate of that unit and global.Units[u,5] is the y coordinate. Yet somehow when it reaches the second unit (u=2), it reads global.Units[u,4] as 3, even though according to the debugger it clearly equals 4. This works fine almost all the time, but occasionally this happens and it gets one or both of the coordinates wrong and I don't understand how its possible.

for (u=0; u<=99; u+=1)
{
if (global.Units[u,0]!=0 and global.Units[u,7]==0)
{
global.gridIsPlayer[global.Units[u,4],global.Units[u,5]] = 1;
}
}

So you've got some nonrealistic forces acting on the body. The feet are disproportionately heavy. There's some IK-solving going on? And the joints torque seems to become stronger the further away from their desired pose they're pushed. Still the solver seems pretty stable, and the movement natural.

Impressive.

I just made a webm showing exactly what's happening. If you just follow my mouse you will see all the information you need to know. You can clearly see that it should be reading global.Units[u,4] as 4 and not 3.
Please someone explain this to me.

dude that looks like a footage of old TV grain antwar taken extremely upclose

what the hell is that even supposed to be
it hurts to look at?

It's a good thing in the year 2017 no one writes their own engines anymore. So they can focus completely on the game they are making.

Looks good. How'd you simulate the gas?

>>174467551
okay i guess that's on me

i meant move.

if you are checking key_fire in the other states, scr_player_fire doesn't need to check for it.

also some "else"s wouldn't hurt you.

Honestly I like the effects. I just don't like that everything is colored squares, it makes it hard to know what the things actually are. I think some simple 1bit graphics like these would make things look better, and be easier to understand.

Melee weapons are implemented, and the inventory is finally starting to come together. Still needs alot of work.

>>174467795
I don't think they're comparable, they're very different undertakings.

>>174467852
The movement is completely bottom-up? How long did that take to get right?

>>174467783
If you're interested in not just making a straight-up FRL clone you should know that meaningless micromanagement is what makes FTL stop being fun.

Gotta give people a few fun choices, instead of a lot of meaningless ones. Tbh just disallowing pause makes door- and beam-micro fun again in FTL.

A vision modified to fit within the confines of a premade engine is a great tragedy.

I really like that art style, but please tell me you're going to have more creative enemies then that? It just looks like a generic zombie/hospital experiment person right now.

That's pretty spookin', anon. I am not looking forward to this game.

>>174468319
maybe the corpses could shudder a little on the ground despite being dead

Honestly, watching that robot try and fail hilariously at basic movement is hypnotic. I feel like I could watch this for the rest of the day.

>if you are checking key_fire in the other states, scr_player_fire doesn't need to check for it.

that's what I though too but when I remove it from the if statements in fire script and leave only directions I get literal game freeze, just a frozen frame and can't even push anything else from there

Nothing that you haven't seen before just yet. My enemy designs were pretty simple in 2D due to the amount of spriting it'd take to make them work, but now that its in 3D, I can hopefully come up with some cooler stuff. Only have these two enemies so far.

>>174468462
Maybe I can build a special version for you where the utility company is really reliable and all the lights still work :)

>>174468469
Yeah that'd be cool, especially twitchy here

>>174467951
How about using postincrementing instead of u += 1?

I will probably add at least some shapes but still keep it abstract, it's supposed to feel like an old analog computer kinda like this pic.

>>174468667
Wait a second, were you making this game in 2D and now switched to 3D?

>>174468124
nothing fancy, each room has oxygen variable, the door checks if connected rooms have different oxygen levels and balances them, it's simple and just works
>>174468294
you mean FTL clone, i never played ss13
>>174468331
i was just interested how ftl uses doors, you manage oxygen to kill intruders and enemy's crew, put off fires... etc, it's basically a central mechanic, but what makes ftl fun for people? i'm making an enhanced clone that will change eventually

the next discord /agdg weekend jam is on the 28th
https://itch.io/jams
then demo day

>>174468667
How did you go about putting sprites onto models? Are there any tutorials for that you'd recommend?

>>174468881
In about 2 weeks the best game jam on the internet is happening. https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-14

Ludum Dare happens this weekend.

how many multiplayer maps should a fps start with?

obviously will continue to support with (free) dlc over time

Essentially, yeah. Spriting from so many directions is incredibly tedious though, and made development incredibly slow. Since I've been using Unity more and more, and I've always wanted to do a 3D horror game, I figured I'd translate everything over and see how it felt.

>>174469034
I'm not sure what you mean by putting sprites onto models. Are you talking about just texturing in general?

I only watched one tutorial to start, and it was this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiIoWrOlIRw

Pretty simple, shows you how to make a no-frills model with no-frills textures and no-frills animation.

God you kids are terrible

>>174469190
Do the maps have progression or team/objective asymmetry?

>>174469191
Ah, alright, I thought the colors looked familiar. I do like the 3D more than the 2D, good stuff.

Zoom in camera button like you always wanted.

>tfw forgot how to solve my own level twice

>>174468890
Sounds good. Keep it up anon!

>>174469331
Is there any reason to not have the camera zoomed in by default? The game looks more engaging like that.

>>174469206
Nice progress ;-)
