Yeah I'm not sure what the holdup was on the alpha release. But the developers and some other contributors had a meet in Paris over the weekend. So now that that's done, work will probably resume.

There are unofficial master builds here http://fixnum.org/godot/
But looks like they haven't updated in about a week either.

I think it's because you can access the members directly now, and it's to match the member names.
For example you can do "node.position = Vector2(1, 1)" now.

Alright, I updated the boomerang. You can now control it after you throw it. It's fucking awesome and fits the rest of the playstyle pretty well.
It also turns out to be good for crowd control.

>>175016882
There's going to be 2.x to 3.0 export which will try to convert as much as possible. The renaming is a pretty simple fix anyways.

If you're using Sprite nodes it may start lagging after a few thousand sprites. But if you use the lower level VisualServer you can squeeze some more out. The rendering in Godot is very fast, the limiting factor is more GDScript. In Godot 3 you'll be able to use C++ with GDNative, so if you've got really intense code like that you can move it to C++ for better performance.

Depends on how hard it is to implement, technically it's easy as fuck in most engines but design-wise it depends on the game.

>>175018035
If you crawl past it can you just skip it completely?

>>175017846
It'll only appeal to a very small number of players but it's another thing to add into your game's trailer.

>>175018179

>>175017846
Gang Beasts shows that people still do that sort of thing

I have an idea for an online multiplayer game and I don't know if it's fundamentally possible or not to implement it this way. I want the multiplayer to be entirely peer-to-peer with no dedicated server and no "here's my IP to connect to"-garbage.

You create a lobby and then another dude who is playing the game connects to your lobby and the two of you play together. I want this done in such a way that I (the creator of this game) don't have to run a dedicated server for players to host their games, this ensures that the online play for my game will be alive for eternity. Secondly, I still want it to be as simple as just choosing a lobby from a list. I don't want players to have to send their IP address to a fellow player for them to play together.

I've never seen this done before.

>>175019152
You'll need to run a matchmaking / lobby server at least.

Probably how it would work is each player is naturally a host, they just don't know it. Then if another player enters their game, the second player is a client.

This will break down if your game is competitive, since the host player can cheat.

>>175019152
You can use Steam lobbies for matchmaking and then do peer to peer on games.

But
>>175019381
Is right. You need a matchmaking server (steam) at the very least.

>>175019152
Isn't that how like every console game works?

>>175019381

A good majority of games run on peer to peer. It's just not nearly as bad in a shooter as it is in an action combat game.

I don't think that's true.

>>175019381
>>175019526
I understand how that works and it's really the most logical way to go about doing an online game, but it isn't futureproof and I don't want to have to worry about maintaining this lobby server forever.

Games like Risk of Rain and emulators with netplay are futureproof as you can always just get in contact with somebody and send them your IP address to play a game, but I've never been a fan of multiplayer games like that. It's way too much trouble.

If only I could have it both ways.

>>175020048
... You can? Include both. The lobby version can just be a wrapper around the simple IP version.

>>175020048
How would you ever find open lobbies without a central server keeping track of them? I don't think that's physically possible.

>>175020256
That's the question that I'm trying to answer. Surely, it could be possible.

About the only way that I can think to do it is to have your game listen for pings and somebody is playing their computer is constantly pinging every IP address on the internet looking for your open game.

>>175020434
How do torrents do it? I was under the impression that even those use a tracker list.

A couple new attack animations.

Also implemented foliage density scalability because my puny 760 isn't keeping up with so much grass in the scene; I'm starting to get frame drops and that makes me unhappy.

Ultimately my goal is to have this set up so I can run the game on max settings on my card and get 60FPS (and frankly, the grass density is probably higher than it reasonably needs to be; for whatever reason, most games seem to do grass in patches and it looks fine), but for the time being scaling down foliage density is an easy fix.

For those who haven't seen, the first skill checkpoint is also implemented and I've done some updates to how weapon pickups work visually (and they have larger collection boxes).

>>175025471
Well, the level geometry is mostly placeholder. You can see how there are like 3 or 4 "rounded" surfaces which are properly meshed, but most of the main geometry is still just BSP boxes. In terms of the particle effects, character designs, etc., that's all more or less final. I iterate on Dixie's design a little bit every now and again but no major revamps are coming.

It's inspired by, and modeled after, old N64 collectathons, because I really like the look and feel of those games. It's never going to get "better" than N64-tier graphics. Sorry, but this is genuinely how I want it to look. I want to refine this, add details to it, but it's definitely going to be Bayonetta-Kazooie in aesthetic as well as gameplay.

Whats the best aspect ratio for scaling up sprites, assuming you want 1080p 1920x1080 resolution?

Is the best option just to do 640x360 and scale it up 3x?

>>175028118
Why is this a question? You naturally want to have the same aspect ratio as 1920x1080.

360 is nice because it scales to both 720 and 1080, and is decently future proof, since you can just keep scaling.

If you want your game to be lore heavy you could, and then some players will likely try to decipher it and it could lead to some fun lore stuff.

But if it's just more for decoration it probably isn't worth the effort.

What about for 3D?

Am I wrong to think the biggest constraint to design space in vidya is input devices? Every game mechanic can be described in terms of using your input device in a certain way, (e.g. aiming in shooters, pointing with cursors in RPGs/2D platformers, hotkeys in tons of genres, normal typing in typing games.) It seems like game dev now is about creating aesthetic variation using the same mechanics.

Is it worth exploring how to use standard input devices in new ways, or is there no more exploration to be done? I'm aware that my thoughts on this are primitive, so I would appreciate even pointing me in the direction of already existing discussion on this topic.

Am I a genius if I develop a game that took me far less time to make than what the average player will play it?

It's a game where you click multiple times. 1 click = 1 buck. With the money you can buy upgrades, which are only different backgrounds basically. It will take me not a lot of time playing it and I've heard those clicking games are addicting. So my plan is making a game where I cut on the development and make an ACTUAL clicking game. There will be multiple levels (level 1=100 clicks, level 2= 250 clicks and so on)

It will probably take me a day to develop it, and players will spend countless hours clicking.

All I can really say is it's really business oriented but it's still really early in development. I also plan to donate a generous amount to cidoku for the engine if I can utilize it correctly. So far I can get a battle and gather xp, insert my own sprites (the enemy in the battle is my first sprite) I need much more practice and a deeper understanding of GM since I'm a novice.

No, I was looking for an example of something that's truly randomly generated, because I already know about games like Spelunky that use quasi-random generation.

I actually found something that does do this a while back, but it isn't really all that good, which is why I was wondering if anybody has improved on this kind of thing in recent years.

The rooms are procedurally placed together. So it is procedurally generated. And it works well.

The anon asked for platformers with procedural generation that were done right. Making hand built rooms and placing them together procedurally is a completely valid and good approach to procedural generation.

Pure procedural generation is either a bad idea, or requires tons of work (dorf furt). It mostly works for Spelunky because the game is pretty simple in general.

I know this is stuff isn't important, considering the game has no features beyond walking the dungeon atm.

>>175043282
If by "completely valid and good" you mean "laziest possible implementation", sure. Like I said, someone asked for an example of good procedural generation and the current mediocre flavor of the minute slipped out of your brain and into your response.

Flawless rhetoric. Kill yourself my man.

Shorter movements are good as long as you can hold a key to walk forward. Constantly tapping to move just a little bit forward is tiresome.

I'll keep that in mind.

A single Floor "Tile" is a 2x2 I based them off of the "Dwarven Forge" D&D dungeon tiles I use. Maybe the cracks are too deep or the player is too small.

UE4?

I was trying to get this sort of physics working, was about to write custom physics instead of using UE4's built in, but if there is an easier way do tell.

It's to show the software is up to date you dumb retard. Why don't you turn your name back on?

Kojima?
I thought they just used photogrammetry to scan actors?

It would be fun to try something like that, though learning all the muscle groups first would be a big task.

Yup, UE4. I'm basically using a separate coordinate system that I transform into XYZ coords. I guess that fits "write custom physics" more than "easier way", but it's really not too difficult.

Look up cylindrical coords if you wanna do something similar. Your three axii are distance along a cylinder, angle around the axis and radius from the axis. My system supports forces, impulses and gravity in every direction.

If you need less control, you could probably get away with just sticking your object to the collision mesh of your whatever.

Great work.

I was planning on basing it around rotate around vector or whatever it is called, around the middle of the tube, which would allow me to jump by LERPing towards it.

I've started a few side projects but need to get back to that one eventually. Great idea though on how you did it, I'm going to jot that down.

Implemented a new basic weapon type, projectiles instead of hitscan, it's pretty great since it gives the player a heads up that someones shooting at him before the rounds hit. Works nice in a cover shooter.
It's actually works so well with cover I'm thinking of tossing hitscan out the window all together. Is there a reason I shouldn't do this, other than missing out on lasers?

>get an idea for a game

I'd rather just never get ideas at all desu

When people make posts like this are they trolling or are they seriously so vapid that they think things like this are worth sharing?

How did they have the will to keep going this long?

Is gogem retarded?
