I intend on making a Medieval Town/Adventurer management game, so buildings and a variety of a characters are preferred, but anything's great 2B quite honest.

Yes, please remember to purchase all mandatory bug fixes from the Unity Asset Store so that you can get the full experience of the Unity Game Engine!
Don't forget to pay your monthly fee for the engine so that you can continue to like just make game. Unity is the ONLY way to make a game!

I'm working on this game for a less than a year (this summer I think it will be a full year), but I'm not really productive, most of the game now exists only in various text documents, but I'm working on it.

I created hands in MakeHuman software (just create a human model, add rig and export to blender, then delete all geometry/bones except for hands) and made the textures and animations myself.
Actually this game was webmrelated most of the time, I started to make it more like a standart first person game and not a House Of The Dead game like a couple of months ago.

Reminder to stop replying to engine wars. 100% of the people who participate in engine war discussion are nodevs. Yesdevs are busy using their personal favorite engine to create their game.

This look hella cool, great job!

It's difficult nowadays to make a retro game and make it look good, but you nailed it - good pixel art, actual animations (not the bone ones where you just move a sprite or scale it), great effects too. These bubbles remind me of contra games on NES.
I suppose it is a metroidvania with mech as main character?

The most fun part of devving is the initial 10% when you are building up the gameplay systems and you see your game coming to life, the remaining 90% is boring shit and tiny incremental changes.
Stop devving "for fun" and simply aim to have a finished product.

2D Unreal Anon here again, I think I'm ready to ditch the tutorial and start dev on a "real" game as it was starting to get way too specific and away from what I wanted to learn (pic related, it was a level select made with a dinosaur as the selector and health packs to represent levels).

I'll post my real progress but I might not get anything visible done today because I leave for work in ~20 minutes. Hopefully I get something functional by the end of demo day.

It depends entirely on your expirience. Usually, if you're new, you don't know your scope. So basically if you won't hold yourself, you will be overloaded with the ideas for your game and will never finish it, so if you're new, I recommend to start small. For example, if you're making a fps game, don't make it as a game at first (like, with narrative, music, audio design, etc), but try to make tools that will help you to create a good fps game one day - create your own weapon system, raycasting for shooting, ai, etc. If you will know how to make these components, you will be able to set the scope for your actual game properly.

>>175854524
I never was shitting on anyone, though. If I didn't like something, I just ignored it.

Nobody said that. You assume that the same peole who stumbled across your Flash animation in 2011 bought your game released in 2014.

You're insane, Ryan. Reply less and make games more. Or better yet stop games and go back to animation since it's the only thing you're proud of (clearly) and you can leave agdg alone finally.

You have to see the value of having a unity insider share information, right? If we're already commited to unity, we don't really see the shilling. And he's not totally shameless, he's honest about his feature (unity collab), he acknowledges that it's pretty bad for anyone who knows git or a real source control system.

Back in the day AGDG was about discussing game development, not a bunch of losers trying to shill their latest commercial endeavor under the guise of "progress".

Ever since PROGRESS became a meme, AGDG died. Now it's almost exclusively shitposts and advertising, there's zero content of value here.

You should report posts that are breaking rules. It's not your job to post warnings like this. The moderators will take care of it if they see fit.

That broken shield isn't too easy to recognize. Maybe have it be literally broken in half diagonally, with 1px in between the halves?

The only other at least remotely recognizable symbol I think would be a broken chain link.

>>175860435

Posting screenshots of a game is not discussing game development, it's an advertisement.

Hey fellow gamedevelopers, let's discuss game development.

Today's topic: player choice. As a designer, you are designing your game with a certain playstyle in mind. Do you leave in options that allow your players to play differently, even knowing that it could be less fun?

>>175859783
>>175860632
It's very basic surface stuff that anyone who played games for at least 5 years should know by heart already, it's aimed at children or normies who don't really have any intention of doing games but want to feel like they are "in the know" basically.

>>175860571
>showing progress isn't welcome in a game dev thread

>>175860571

Yes Extra Credits teaches important stuff but this important stuff is common sense to anyone who isn't completely new to games, I actually do enjoy the more niche videos about game development in specific countries for example but it's mostly just 10 minutes videos of very basic stuff being presented in a hundred different ways that could be told in one paragraph instead.
It's bubblegum for empty brains.

>>175860843
This is a per-game thing I feel
like, player expression is core to RPGs, so you have to bake that stuff in to begin with

but if it's like a competitive game, having something in there that's useless does nothing for the game, and having something that's good and unfun ruins the fun for everyone else

cute croc.
all the symbols and text look bad as lofi pixels, consider using high resolution for the UI.
and for those symbols i think its way too disjointed given the simplicity of the concept.
why not merge it all into one symbol? like a shield shape, colored blue in the center for what it's strong against and red around the edge for what it's weak against. (or just include what it's strong against if all the weaks are just going to be obvious relations that anyone can guess)

Added in real UI support, and reformatted all of the Glyph rendering to be stupidly fast.
Basic support for control characters. Going to interlace some brains with the UI anchor system to wordwrap text for you.
I guess next is content. I'm going to add some more ON_INTERACT tags. Maybe like
JOURNAL: ENTRY "mygame.startquest" STEP 10 ;
IF: JOURNAL: ENTRY "mygame.startquest" AT STEP 10 ;
THEN:
MOVE:

(You)s aren't really a good metric of general interest, stuff like Monolith has been getting very few replies lately because everyone already knows the game and there's very little visual progress going on, meanwhile shit or new games get plenty of replies with questions or general memery.

The (You) formula is novelty + flaws to talk about and that doesn't directly translate to consumer interest.

I'll be honest. I don't even know what an AABB is. The physics were an accidental inclusion and I haven't studied the library yet.
I know I can use AABB for things like finding bodies in an area, and the Box2D world uses one to define the maximum bounds of physics. Mind enlightening me?

If you ever lack motivation, think about how good it'll feel when people start adding your game to their wishlist (Steam tells you)

That's the first thing I did when I started working with box2d.
I couldn't find any useful results after a couple searches other than tutorials on using it for things, so I just let it be to work on other things.
>>175864308
Thanks. AABBBounds is definitely redundant then. I would have imagined they would have used one of the other box structures for bounds, and AABB was something unique.

I'm really glad we got this serious problem corrected before I went too far with it.

I had a thought for a breeding sim, to solve two problems. For context, it's fully procedural so each individual has traits from different kinds of monsters. The problems:
1. Overpopulation: you get a lot of garbage tier monsters that you have to sell or whatever.
2. Once you get a powerful gene ONCE, you can breed it forever in your gene pool.

The solution: instead of breeding two parents and getting a child, you fuse the two parents into a new monster. Instead of 2->3, it's 2->1. It forces you to engage with the monster capture loop. It keeps your population under control. It makes breeding a real CHOICE, instead of something that is limited only by time constraints.

Thoughts? Any games that use this system already?

>>175864657
I honestly think you should stop doing trash toys and focus on and finish one project instead.

That's called Euler discretization, anon. You shouldn't be embarrassed, as it took mathematicians like 2 thousand years to get there. A bit more true to the method would be to update speed and coordinate together:
Vnew = V + A x DT
Xnew = X + V x DT
X = Xnew
V = Vnew

You mean like a dev talk, like how valve does in their games?

no one is going to read a text file. Just include a dev mode with checkpoints that explains how you approached problems.

>>175868154
That doesn't make much sense.
Adventure text games turned into graphical adventures with newest iterations taking form of Telltale or Quantic Dreams games.
Multiplayer games is like some branching from those things and mmo have more in common with Ultima games than Monkey Island.

>>175867367
Sure, if it's already written. It costs nothing to include and can't hurt.

But don't expect anyone to read it, and if it's relevant to the core game experience, include it in the game somehow.
If it's dev commentary, do >>175868324.
If it's worldbuilding, include it in the game as books or monuments or whatever.

>>175868673
sorry no. I agree with >>175868154

Trying to make sure I have the tools I need for my workflow.
First of all I draw a button sprite in paint.net. I then drag it onto an image of my gamework to find a good position for it. I take that pixel measurement or make a guess in meters.
I want to mount this button on the wall. This means I need to draw it above the wall's position, but I want it to be drawn on the wall as if it were in front of it. I just subtract the difference between the two's positions to get my z coordinate. This allows the sprite to be drawn after the wall but before anyone standing against the wall.
I add an ON_INTERACT line to WRITE "a message", and SPAWN $gale_dribble( PLAYER false )

Every time I think about posting progress I realize how much I have left to do and I chicken out but here it goes anyway. Since finals week, I've gotten the basis of a trading/shopping system, and have switched over to using mostly procedurally generated worlds/levels instead of static levels. The big thing is the save/load system, which I'm working on now. This would've been so much easier if I had implemented this earlier but whatever.

That's a problem a lot of companies are having these days.

It seems pretty clear to me that google made a simple typo; it should read "Contains aids"

>>175874415
You guys are salty as fuck. Is there a reason for that?

What demos will you be sad over if the dev doesn't upload to DD14?

>>175874470
Well I'm working on a tycoon game where you manage a salt mine.

Shitty games are an art, anon

They are not for money. They are for ideology.

yours

all the anons who have been putting it off while still making progress, you're drifting too far from actual feedback

dregs in particular, you really need to get something playable out there

Maybe, at this point I can select units and get them to move on a navmesh but am not really sure what to do with it.

To be honest I haven't seen most of my fav devs for quite some time now, so the only one who seems to be around is MoGiSho dev.

I thought demo day was today
extra free time, fuck yes

Its not about performance, its about what if you accidentally hardcoded a reference to c:\users\thedev\myresource.txt

Or what if your dev machine has a certain runtime installed that other machines dont?

I did that with the shortcut for my game once, I assumed it just corrected itself when they unzipped the files.

When was the last time he posted here?

How many people are planning to participate in Monster Jam?

How many of them are going to make Pokemon rip offs?

>>175875574
It doesn't reference any external files, it's all packed within the one executable.

If a user somehow didn't have Direct X installed it would probably break, but the odds of that are pretty slim.

>>175872996
Thank you friend

rpgs are pretty simple technically
just don't balance anything or add any variety and it should be very possible

10 joined, but the completion rate is 30-50%.

So. my game must be in ZIP formate to make sure people that use the Itch.io app can download it ?

Ctesiphon? I fucking l love that project. But the dev makes even less progress between demodays than I do

Build the minimum, you dig? I might expand it later, but I want to make at least this much.

>>175876376
Definitely this, too. Minimum variety, fuck balance.

anon who made this, are you here

how many could you pump out in 2 weeks?

>>175876743
zip only
single toplevel exe
if you use game maker or unity you're already following these rules
you can download your own games in draft mode to test

I'm running out of things on my "todo" list other than the worst one of them all.
Make Content.

Why do companies send cease and desist letters so early instead of letting the infringing project rack up some patreon dosh before swooping in and taking it?

>>175874334
the game look like it was made by a literal 12 year old in a few days as his first ever game as a learning experience. you're delusional if you think you'll make a serious amount of money off of this. instead of focusing on marketing you should make something that's worth marketing in the first place.

What's the deal with these free version reviews?

When you generate Steam keys, do you state if you're giving them away for free or if you're selling them externally?

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this.

I have a resolution system for my game that should change the resolution between 16.9 and a couple of 16.10 ones.

But the screen "zooms" to the bottom right of the GUI layer when I choose lower resolutions than the one I have.
A lot of the sprites are cut off from the to and the left side of the screen while the right stays where it is.

I've asked around and no one seems to know what this is or whether it's normal.

Is it?
