You should be changing the genre. Shmups are an extremely stale genre.

First for making the controls menu spawn an emacs/vim window

>>176127745
changing the controls in a text file is better because it gives your player the freedom to use whatever text editor he wants instead of being forced to use the menu you made

Updated Whimp the Bold
+Fixed [hopefully] many of the bugs
+Buffed candelombre considerably
-Many bugs don't appear when I run it

Fug. Some bugs I couldn't straight up fix because I couldn't replicate, but I put in work arounds that means they should never break the game or ruin the experience

Thank you all for your patience

Anyone interested in working on a SMT clone with me?

EST timezone and can't work during the day from Mon-Wen cause part time job

>>176127953
This, if you spend time making a controls menu that's as good as your favorite text editor then you'll never finish your game.

>>176127832
You don't even have any idea about genre, so stfu.
Go back to your cinematic garbage if you don't like the genre.

>>176128014
I guess I'm automatically disqualified if I don't know what an SMT is.

wow, so fucking difficult.

>letting your players edit a text file to change the control

fucking modern gamers need to die.
in my game to edit the control you have to e-mail me or one of the other devs to change the game code then re-download the game.

if you can't do something as simple as an e-mail then you're a lazy fuck millennial who doesn't deserve to be playing my game to begin with.

rebindable key UI is actually pretty hard to get right imo
how do you cancel a keybind? if it's by pressing esc, how do you bind esc
what happens when you bind two functions to a single key?
can you rebind menu navigation? how do you make sure you don't break the keybinds menu if you do? etc.

Hmm, can you tell me some more info. Was this upon startup, or did you quite back to the menu then this happened?

>>176128591 is correct you can only have either a controller or keys, and you should probably restart

If it's not that, are you using a non-US keyboard? I don't think that would stop it, but I'm not versed with them

For those of you who saw the VG league stuff at >>176090406 and the discussion that followed last night I can now say that yes, this is indeed a thing that's happening!

Currently I'm taking suggestions for player names as well as blender heads to use for those players.

You can suggest a player that would fit well with a blender you already have or just spitball names and/or blenders you have around that you think might fit well with the theme of /agdg/

The current list of players is here:

https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//agdg/

but these names were placed years ago and some of them aren't so relevant to agdg anymore. Feel free to share some ideas. We have two to three weeks to go from idea to properly formatted head model for as many or as few players as we can muster.

If someone's feeling very bold we also optionally could use a stadium. Ultimately this can just boil down to a themed grass texture and a skybox, but if you're interested in that look here:
https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Pro_Evolution_Soccer_2017/Stadiums

Info for getting PES17:
https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Pro_Evolution_Soccer_2017/Installation

I'll pop in regularly as I straighten out the back-end stuff for virtual divegrass, so if you have anything to share just put it out here and I'll see it.

>>176128832
Happens upon startup, and even after multiple restarts. I'm pretty sure my keyboard is US standard, though my locale is EN (Canada) but that shouldn't affect anything.
The real confusing part about this is why it works fine in the menu and not in-game. And you should see about fixing that controller thing, it couldn't be more complicated than a simple "or" check.

Nah dude, been making assets. Just now putting them in game little by little.

That's running inside the editor, there's a massive performance impact when you have a couple of shaders and run it in the editor. I still get 60fps with some minimal drops here and there though, and it's capped to 60fps

Reminder that modern gamers don't know how to edit text files.

Roguelite schmups seem to be an active area of indie development.

>>176129160
>>176129019
Just fixed the code, should work now with a controller plugged in

So the behavior you're seeing seems like the behavior from the controller thing (fixed now), or if somehow a cutscene event triggered tht disabled player control, but that can't happen on the menu, so I'm guessing it's a weird variation on the controller. Try now and see

>>176130736
You can change just the pitch/skybox and it will carry most of the effect of a custom stadium because that's what you're looking at most of the time during a game, but you can change the models of the surrounding structures too. To do that I'd have to "reserve" a stadium to overwrite though so different teams don't get into change conflicts.

For the VG league most people don't go that hard though. I wouldn't put a ton of effort in there, the blender heads are more important.

This morning I found this baby in my folder of abandoned projects, and I think I'm going to give it another shot because it looks really pretty

Currently it's somewhat ""playable"" in the sense that you can go around, hit monsters, equip weapons etc, but there are no levels, quests or anything resembling progress

I spent most of my day rewriting old bad code, organizing stuff and improving the map editor. Let's see how far I can go this time before abandoning it again

I want to code my own raster painter application that paints in a 3D space.
how hard would be to code a basic paint application like mypaint or paint but that paint 3D pixels rather than 2D pixels?
Also how hard would be to also implement in said application basic vertex modeling, like a basic blender?
Also, in the same application being able to draw vector lines, like SAI?
And have basic 3D toon rendering capabilities of the previous shit.

I would appreciate a list of what topics, both math and CS do I need to learn before trying to make this.

Many thanks.

Why most AI in strategy games are so retarded and soulless? Not just at being a skilled player without cheating, but also being human-like in games where diplomacy is a factor(4xs, grand strategies, etc).
I never tried it, but I believe it shouldn't be too hard to model a behavior network that take many things in consideration before making a decision(too simplistic and it will make retarded moves, like in civ games where AIs call you a warmonger for retaliating). Considering the scope of strategy games are pretty small(there isn't a gigantic set of moves that you can do, just a handful of them), it shouldn't be too hard to make something that more or less resembles human behavior.

Is there a game that provides a modding interface that lets you completely overwrite the AI code(instead of letting you just make some additions here and there)?

>>176134362
Letting people bind the esc key is like letting people bind alt-f4.

>>176134449
What's wrong with letting people bind esc or alt-f4? I prefer ctrl-[ and ctrl-c.

>>176134362
don't let the player rebind esc, that's a stupid idea

>>176134641
Why? Esc is a difficult key to reach.

I'm honestly surprised that you and >>176134449 are advocating non-customizable controls.

>>176134362
make a preliminary thing where you bind what they want their escape functionality bound to or just don't let people bind escape virtually nobody will miss it

>>176134737
You can let the player add another button that works like esc but esc itself should always be esc.

>>176134737
it's the newest meme where the only proper way to let the players customize the controls is to make them edit a text file

>>176134769
>>176134813
Not allowing rebinding Esc might be reasonable for most people, but some swap their Esc and Caps Lock keys at the OS level, so they might want to bind Esc to another function.

>>176134823
Editing a text file would certainly sidestep these difficulties.

Your options are:

>never upload demos, never have the chance of someone telling you what's fucked
The choice is yours.

Also making an entirely new page for an update to your demo was definitely a stupid thing to do and you should fix it if you haven't already.

I've added direction based attacks to the combo details. The current combo tree is 4 basic swing attacks which then starts over. Giving a forward input for the second attack lets you do a constant repeatable stab. Doing a delayed input attack after the 4th swing would do the long fancy samurai unsheathing attack I've shown in the past.

The weird thing is, my stab here is bugged. If you watch the gif, you can see that when attacking one of the enemies, it stops doing damage and the sword seems to vanish. If you look at the top left, you can see a white line appearing during that time, indicating the sword is somehow appearing at the coordinates 0,0. Why though, I'm not so sure. It's something I'll have to figure out.

DD14 Demo is live!

Original Mode: This is the intro from the first demo but the difficulty has been alleviated.

Arrange Mode: This is a remix of the intro stage (new background elements, different enemy formations, etc). This is the new baseline intended experience and will be a bit more difficult.

Also added in the display settings is the ability to turn your hitbox visible full time if you want.
Blue sadly couldn't make it to the party but she will be in the next!

I hope it is at least a little fun for everyone! Do try both modes (and characters if you want, they get different stage dialogue).

-Please use focus button if you want to dodge a dense pattern or to concentrate your attacks. That is what it is intended for.
-Use the burst button for large damage (or scoring). This is a resource that regenerates fairly quickly so use it as you please (with Lore the lower the gauge is the less damage is does so be aware).
-Use dust to destroy enemy attacks on screen if it is getting too tough. Sana will automatically use dust to defend herself if she has any when she gets hit. For reference it is the resource that looks like a bottle. *note: Sana uses this resource for both her burst and dust ability but she regenerates it very fast)*

*final note* You have a special ability. When you tap, release and then hold shoot your shot takes on a different color and there is a portrait change. This lasts a few seconds and it regenerates your burst or dust resource 3 times faster than normal. Use this to your advantage if you can keep it up*

Going to take a break and eat something and then check out some demos!

It's been done a few times and it's always successful. Quality and originality are second to actually existing and pumping out content. Do you remember what Breeding Season used to look like before S-Purple got on? It was a LoK mod originally and it got huge anyways.

H-games in general make a solid amount of money.

>>176148821
I know you're shitposting, but the opposite is true. Simply being an h-game can get your foot in the door when it comes to monetizing your game.
Top DLSite games make $20~$50k after cuts and fees. Patreon titles get shit like pic related.

The major distinction between a hentai game funded through patreon, and a normal game with fetishbait but nothing explicit, is this:

You can very quickly and consistently get monthly funding with a patreon game. But you have a ceiling on your earnings, somewhere around 10-30k per month. That sounds like a lot, and it is. But a normal game, sold through steam, has the potential to make you a few million over a few years. Most normal games fail, of course, so it's wiser to go for the easy patreon cash.

I just played this as Sana and its pretty fun. I feel like the dust is pretty op though, I know she's a novice character and all but at times when the boss isn't moving you can just stay still and dust whenever it recharges. Also I ran into a weird glitch where I paused the game, tabbed out for a short while and when I came back the menu options weren't there and it was just the background, and none of the buttons seemed to do anything.
But besides that, it's enjoyable and I'm going to play it with the other characters now and maybe try the harder difficulty

Thank you for the feedback! I am glad you enjoyed it, anon. Yes I figured Sana was going to end up unbalanced at the start. I tried to overcome this with a auto-dust cooldown but it probably isn't long enough. That plus her burst eats all enemy attacks in it's path. I will have to do some serious balancing with her.

I'm just showing off the first stage of each zone I have so far. You'll have to pay or pirate to be able to face the bosses in the future.

Porn games have more than one use. They're inherently more useful than non-porn games.

I just finished playing with Lore, and again, it was pretty fun. Although I was thinking it would be nice if you added some kind of sound effect to indicate that you're hitting an enemy. There were times where I was looking at my character and not the boss and didn't even realise that I wasn't hitting her. I can only imagine that would be even worse in more difficult, more chaotic fights later in the game.
Also for Sana maybe you should consider copying Imperishable Night and make it so that instead of auto dust, you have to press a button right after being hit to save yourself. It would make her feel less cheap and op, as well as make it more fun I think.

Thank you again! You are correct, I need to add a sound for hitting. It would just feel better overall and give valuable information to the player. The idea for Sana is great, actually. It would still put the responsibility on the player but they have a chance to correct a previous misstep. If I might ask, which character and mode did you like the most? Just curious.

>tfw you are so bad at programming you have to look up a tutorial where the guy explaining the system can't spell dialogue.

what happened to dinosorcerer and gun cat?

Playing Lore on arranged was the most fun for me, even though I had to continue like three times because I'm not particularly good at bullet hell games.
I should add actually that I played arranged first, when I said I was going to try the harder difficulty I didn't realise that the one in red wasn't in the game yet, I guess I didn't read your original post properly. I did go back and play original as Lore afterwards, and even though I enjoyed it less I feel like the difficulty was well balanced, as its easy enough that someone like me who's not very good at bullet hells can get through it but still has enough challenge that it doesn't feel brain-dead easy. To be honest I don't really know why I enjoyed Arranged more considering Original is much more balanced for my skill level, I guess I just enjoy getting my ass handed to me.
Sana was fun at first since I was new to the game, but I don't think there's any reason for me to want to play her now that I've played it before. I just feel like she's a bit too overpowered, like I said before. If the hardest difficulty was implemented and Sana was better balanced then I'm sure I'd enjoy playing it as her.
