>>176059582
the tail is ok but the breathing is pure shit

>>176059582
would you ever considering making a serious, non-fetish game?

because you're damn good at art and if you made a game like policenauts or old amiga/lucas arts point and click games or something in that pixel art style, I would buy it in a heartbeat

>>176059709
>>176059846
Good enough for porn.
>>176059849
Define "non-fetish".

>>176059582
can you keep your fetish outside of this board?
Why can't you degenerates just all stay in your own containment box instead of trying to get other people into your trash.

Stop telling us you like to jack off to furpeople you attention whore.

>>176059849
unfortunately lewd games (specially furry stuff) is where the money is at, if you can go degenerate enough

>>176059958
>Define "non-fetish".
I'm sorry, anon, but if you don't know what the guy is talking about, then you are far behind the point of salvation.

>>176059958
>Define "non-fetish".
its pretty self explanatory

a game focusing on the story and gameplay rather than fetish content and/or porn

Protip: You can turn off stubs so you don't see them anymore and will hopefully stop you from shitposting like this in the future.

Next time just post progress or other gamedev related topics.

>>176060142
The Anubis one would be non-fetish, then, since the Steam version is being done first.
Hedging bets with the R18 version afterwards in case it sells like shit.

>>176059958
>non-fetish

You draw a naked fur animal for no reason other than you want a naked fur animal, yet you ask him to define non-fetish?

Having furries automatically makes it a fetish game, your particular art style is synonymous with porn and nothing will change that.

Since when did AGDG have so many religious prudes?

>>176061230
>prude

Degenerate is trying too hard to normalize his fetish.
If someone took a shit on your bed, and you said "that's gross don't shit on my bed".

Would that make you a prude?
In this case, fetishes is that big pile of shit on our bed(thread).

Game Maker Studio. It started as a thing to test out GMS2, but that's a shit show so I ported it back into 1.

The basic idea for hitboxes was whenever an attack was active, a hitbox object containing the knockback, damage etc would be spawned with the hitboxes mapped out by hand. If it wasn't a multi hit move, the hitbox would deactivate after confirming a hit, and if it was it would deactivate until the next active frame (like the SF EX kick thing in the webm).

The main problem with this is that this was suppose to be a game with multiple enemies at a time (look into Tempest of Heaven and Earth) so this would've crippled the combat. The hitboxes are also all relative to the character, so hitboxes for things like the shoryu had to cheat a little.

For the characters, the blue hitboxes are colision with walls and such, and the hitboxes for attacks are defined per frame of animation (in this case, pixel perfectly in the image editor). I also planned on having a push box to keep characters from melding in to eachother and a throw box for throw range.

>>176063758
this would be a fun world gimmick

each hero and villain has their own bard

gentlemen's agreement not to harm bards

>>176063758
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kJraeOlxgI

Base the entire game around the concept that the protagonist is a delusional billionaire and all the enemies are just playing along

>>176063348
yep particles is the way

>>176063758
A bard following you around could be hilarious but it's overkill for a joke, just put him in random places in the background and such and imply he's following the player instead of literally making him follow the player.

Just going to stop you right there, sorry. I'm not really interested in helping with this, but I wish you the best

>>176062093
Wow! Couldn't thank you enough dude, really appreciate the attention you gave it!!
I'm aware of the wall glitch and weird controls, currently I'm reworking all player movement.
I'm definitely adding a campaign and player upgrades, just trying to think of a good storyline while I work on the mechanics of the game.
While it may not show much, the weapons are really different, like only the FAL is a guaranteed one-shot kill, the P90 has way more spread and higher chance of ricochet and you can kill multiple enemies on one shot with the shotgun.
I'll definitely be taking your thoughts into consideration, and again, thank you very much!

>>176062502
No, I've been lurking on and off for years but now is the first time I got something kinda worth showing

Did they ever use particles in Paper Mario besides spawning sprites like for the dustclouds on mario's run?
How would I do particles so they won't clash with the rest of the game's simplified style?

>>176064190
Ok, like I said I'm not interested in GMS thanks. Good luck anyhow.

>>176063348
aren't you making this in unreal? you can do some cool shit with vertex animation.

or particles like that other guy said

From a technical perspective, what's the difference between an MMO and a regular multiplayer game?
Are they made differently? Or are they the same but you just simply need a big enough host computer/server to handle so many simultaneous clients?

>>176064236
There are particles on the floating companion things in the newer paper mario.

I had it for a long time before I really tried to track it down, and then it still took all day to actually find the bad code
it was a literal corner case, it was because the player approached the corner of a structure in a very specific way

>but do people still listen to mp3s versus streaming stuff?
I hate streaming, i love having a local collection.
Though its a pain in the ass to go into a games folder to swap or import tracks. Most people will just turn their own music on in player of choice.

>>176064658
lol cute well if you ever have a game I'll make your art (=

>>176064115
I've played it. It might be more fun if it didn't look like shit and sound like shit with terrible voice acting and the gameplay wasn't so focused on getting ventilated by tiny fast annoying enemies like some kind of literal bee from hell. Those are mistakes I would be sure not to repeat.

>>176064000

>>176058702
you just missed me stream it.

Would it be possible to have a game control the player's Spotify client?

You get the game to tell Spotify to play X track at certain times and then you have all the licensed music in the world without any of it actually being in the game.

No, i'm using unity.
Looking it up, I don't get the point of vertex animation. Seems like just a lazy, less polished way of doing regular animation you'd normally import in from an actual animation program.

I was trying to follow how they did fountains in the games.
Hard to find good pictures of this one from TTYD, but it it's what I was kinda basing mine off of.
Something about mine still feels really off though.

>>176065106
Aw... Where are you streaming, though?
Also, did you like it?

Does your game run natively on Linux?

>>176065590
yeah

>>176065456
Seems like the original just has better textures to me. And vertex animations are great for lots of stuff, like grass or waves and other chaotic and dynamic stuff.

Is cyberpunk overdone at this point? I kinda want to make a futuristic dystopian walking sim but if the tropes are stale then I won't bother

>>176065590
it will

>>176065775
It's kind of common but I wouldn't call it overdone.

The "present day" aspect is Black Lives Matter

Augs take the place of blacks. Police tactics towards augs in the game is really a parallel to how police treat blacks in the present day. Its not exactly complicated.

While it's not exactly educational in the way of teaching on a topic, Big Brain Academy was very enjoyable, much better than stupid Brain Age.

More importantly is how worthless you are for deciding that my knowledge of existing educational games is somehow relevant. Perhaps it's all that OOPs clogging up your butthole.

>>176065456
by vertex animation, I mean animating a mesh without a skeleton or any skinning using a 2d texture to animate the vertices.

this allows you to do complex animations like fluid simulations or animate meshes without a fixed vertex count (meaning at the start of the animation the mesh could have 100 vertices and by the end of it it could 10k vertices)

I don't know anything about unity, but in Unreal there are plugins for 3dsMax, Maya, and Blender that allow you to bake any animation into two textures, one containing the normals, and the other containing the vertices and their world positions over the length of the animation.

You pretty much just animate a mesh like you would normally in your 3d program using bones, dynamics, physics simulations and all the vertex positions get baked into a texture.

Unity might have Alembic support, which will let you do something similar. But alembic files are fucking huge if the engine doesn't convert them into some optimized format like unreal does.

Please tell me do actual devs also bruteforce the problems in first iterations of code to only later make it prettier, or are they some kinda wizards that just plan everything 10 miles ahead and know exactly what to write? It seems like everyone knows precisely how to build their systems and builds a pretty skeleton beforehand, while I just bash my code with a rock until it works and then think how to make it better.

>>176069327
depends on what you mean by bruteforce

it's definitely wise to write the naive version of an algorithm first

>>176069327
making shit code just to get something playable as fast as possible is the only true dev way

>>176066226
Nevermind all the assholes. I would suggest GMS or RPGmaker if you have an interest in the programming side of things. If art is your thing, there are many free tools from GIMP to Aseprite, Krita, and so on.

>functional programming
I still don't understand why someone would go for that
I mean not having side-effects is nice, and so is being able to prove what running a function will result in, but you don't need to go through all the weird rigamarole that functional languages usually put you through to do that
besides that programs are a set of instructions and so an imperative model makes the most sense and matches up the best with what's going on under the hood

>>176069927

How do I actually get started?

Learn the basics of GameMaker. Shaun Spaulding is good for info alone. Every time you watch a video tutorial, make sure you learn the information he's presenting, and how to apply it, not how to simply copy him.

Once you know how GameMaker works, how objects, scripts, rooms, events, etc function, stop watching tutorials, and start building your game. If you're unsure how to do something, google it / ask online for help. Again, don't just learn how to solve that one problem, but learn what you are missing so you can fix that problem again in the future.

And, a word of advice. Most games start very, very small. Basic concepts, and over the time of development, they are added onto. If you are comparing your game to what's out there right now, you will have a massively over ambitious project. For your very first game, to teach yourself, it's not a bad idea to look at a game you enjoy playing, and making your own version of it (again, to teach yourself how gamedev'ing works). Pick a game, get the bare-bones of it, and build a game around that. If you choose, say, D3, make your bare-bones a dungeon-crawler loot grind. That's it. No aesthetics, nothing about how skills work yet. Build those functionalities into your game, then work on complexity.

A game where the player is a NEET browsing agdg, he begins by shitposting under the thin veil of "being an ideas man" and slowly begins to realize what a piece of shit he is and finally makes a game

How come I never saw a game with text-to-speech? It would be cool to have a computer saying the player's name.

OK so I finally decided what idea to develop, it's a turn based rpg with a premise similar to earthbound; it's a game in 2,5 D: the scenarios are 3D but the carachters and sprites are 2D in kind of a paper mario style. What engine to go with? I've started to fuck around with godot put its 3d feels lacking.

Unity or Godot, or any 3d engine. The technique that you want is called "billboarding sprites".

Imagine you have a name that is spelled one way but can be pronounced more than one.

So you put your real name in, and the game constantly says it the wrong way.

So you start over, and put in a fictional name. The game then says that in a way you didn't think it would be said / don't want it to be said.

You've cut a lot of names out, right off the bat.

I was talking about godot, never tried unity I heard a lot of shit from it, that it's really easy to use but when you try to do something fancy you end up spending more resources than any other engine, and those people scared me off.

ALL projects opened with this version of unity are GONE including everything i imported (The actual raw files).

Have everything in version control still.

if you're a solo dev unity can seize your assets and send you some shitty email and nobody will believe you it's real

two words: intuitive controls.
your controls are not

So what's the story with unity seizing people's assets?

>>176082237
Force the player to learn the controls to progress, in the webm you posted only grabbing and jumping is necessary but not releasing the ledge, add a second section where the player absolutely has to drop down.

fake news

>>176080807
there is literally nothing special about unity.

gogem where is your yesdev on getting over "i am depressed and I don't want to work on my game"

I still have to show the control scheme to avoid super metroid running button situation.
Player is forced to learn it, but skipping it makes him wonder "what the fuck did I just pick up?". It can by fixed with map layout in this case, except for releasing a ledge which still requires button combination knowledge.
