/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

First for anime

>>176194747
Oi, you missed some of the previous OP. Reflect on your failure, as well as your personal shortcomings.

>>176194946
its a useless area anyway.

>>176195496

I don't think I've ever actually heard you say it but, what are your plans for all this? Are you making a game or engine or what?

>>176195663

im making a bideo game yes.

a sword fighting game primarily.

>>176195496
you didn't pay for that did you?

>>176195496
I have a feeling that agdg will turn on you soon. Watch your back.

I'm in desperate need of that pic that's an edit of some trap hentai and the rewrite is roughly "crossdressing makes you a better programmer". I'm sure one of you fellow faggots have it.

Isometric tactical games. Can you get away with not having the option to rotate the field of battle?

>>176194747
>tfw no time to dev because my CE degree takes up all my time

Anyone else here who isn't a neet?

>>176197024
Yes, but i would recommend making things see through if something is behind it, imagine an enemy quiet far "above" you behind a small building or such. You wont be able to see him, but if you make it see through when something is behind or has contours its fine :) GL with your game anon!

Is the Chronospira dev around? You can double-jump while climbing up vines, but it damages your health. I'm not sure whether it's a feature or a bug.

>>176196234
It was a free asset yea, i just wanted to see how it would look in motion on my rig

Can the owner of the site update this site please? http://tools.aggydaggy.com

It's actually pretty handy to have around and it's sad to see neglect to it. Imma also send some feedback and hope for the best.

>>176195496
This looks like it could be so much fun that the fanbase will completely kill it

>>176197469
Hes MIA, probably not around anymore.

>>176195496
>HELP I'VE FALLEN AND I CANT GET UP

>>176197117
I mean, I'm a manual labor wage slave, but there is plenty of time to dev so its not really an excuse.

>>176195496
That looks hillarious dude.

Give the cloth some cloth physics. That'll make it look even better!

Also. Got a demo?

>>176195496
This is overcool!

Hi /agdg/, we are presenting our new project.
Do you like the fade in and fade out effect?

>>176199218
too spooky for me but i managed to see it all. looks good! How many people are you that are working on that?

>>176199350
Thank you!
We are 12, but we are about to hire 2 more artists.
We are 3 programmers, 2 musicians, 1 community manager, 1 writer and the rest artists.
We want to make it big and good :)

fixed lightAngle = 0;

^Removing that breaks the functionality of another section of code that does not use this variable
I've got no fucking idea what's going on

>>176200883
I played with some other variables and it seems that by "break" I mean "changes the functionality of". I think I can work around it but I am completely lost as to how declaring a variable that is never used has any impact on other areas of the function

>>176197117

missed a demo jam... again.

what does /agdg/ think of making card games

>>176201198
Why are you declaring a variable that's never used?

>>176201760
I like a lot card games, but only if they are "diferent".
I didnt like that blizzard monster and I loved Scroll, for example.

>>176201837

Like stategic positions on board,
not only to attack "the master" to win but attaking differents objectives. Scrolls do that.

>>176201825
There was a point a few hours ago where it was used, then I changed things so it was no longer used and when it came time to remove it completely I came across the issue

>>176202091
not worth it anymore desu, it's working now without it even though I don't know how or why that single unused variable changed functionality

You got some resources on how to make stupid physics systems like that? This is all really inspiring

I'm also an artist. Wondering if any programmer needs some free work

>>176205797
Finally another Java dev :) I have never written a rotating function myself but shouldn't you need to use at least sin/cos/tan to calculate the new coordinates and draw a line between them?

Honestly just use a game framework instead of that piece of shit Graphics2d/JPanel

>Finally another Java dev :)
it just works i have no problem with java for now also android.

>shouldn't you need to use at least sin/cos/tan to calculate the new coordinates
It is based on coordination you don't need any angle calculations. I think it is the simplest way to do this but in java you can make one thing in lots of different ways.

>Honestly just use a game framework instead of that piece of shit Graphics2d/JPanel
i will but i need to at finish at least 5-6 or maybe 10 simple games. I am testing my skills. After that i will go full libGDX.


>>176206168
yes, maybe, hmm thank you actually it is very smart. i will try this.

When your game is barely held together by duct tape and the unity engine, you should probably keep it to yourself. until you actually get somewhere.

>tfw I've had the kerfuffle trailer theme stuck in my head for a few days now

Making a video is going to be too much work. I'll post my feedback. For what I've played:

When it hits the fan.

This is one of teh games that actually seeems like it’s really close to being finished. It’s got some decent music and sound but I forgot to record desktop audio.

There are some criticisms I have mostly it’s stuff I hate, but game developers seem to love.

I absolutely cannot stand the way you get slowly pushed back when firing the shotgun. I find very offputting. It would be alright if the shotgun actually felt really powerful, but it’s basically just a contra spreadshot, so it feels like an excessive reaction to something rather normal. It’s the same thing with the machine gun, it feels totally inappropriate. If I had some massive cannon, knock back is fine, but not on guns you’re going to be using all the time..

Next is with the chainsaw. If you were going to leave the chainsaw as is I would strongly suggest changing your mind. When I pick up a chainsaw, I want to see gratiuitous gore. The zombies that try and run into you while you have the chainsaw out should be exploding in blood and guts. But right now they kind of just lazily fall over.

Right now the handgun has 000 as the ammo, I think it needs an infinity symbol, it’s not a huge deal, but

Otherwise, the animations are kind of boring. The enemies don’t feel very lively. Especially for larger ones it might be nice if when they took damage limbs blew off or some blood particle effects

The levels are pretty bland. I’m seeing a lot of tiles used over and over which is fine, but it feels very sterile. I like how the corpses stay after dying but

Props on implementing alternative controls, and having a very polished game. Twinstick shooters really aren’t my thing.

>>176209439
Placeholder Title DD-14
Clearly it’s an action game.

I would probably flip X and Y for attacks. My understanding is that the Y the top button on the 360 controller is your “standard” attack, it builds the meter for your more powerful attacks and the ice thing. Almost every 2D action game I’ve played attack is the Blue button, X on 360 controller.

The combo system feels fun but without any enemies it’s difficult to accurately judge it. It’s pretty clear you want players to be able to execute cool combos. I would strongly recommend designing enemies around that. The last thing you want is enemies that don’t compliment that such as guys that block all the time, or you can’t juggle. I guess the different attacks don’t really feel much different. I assume it’s meant to be light vs. strong but it doesn’t feel that way.

A lot of games have “optimum” strategies, and it feels like people are just going to spam the light attack to fill the meter then use the stronger attacks until the meters gone. I’d just be aware of that moving forward.

I assume the ice pillar is going too be for platforming and potentially light puzzle solving.

Otherwise, everything feels pretty good. I like the wall kicking. Animations feel pretty good, even if the art is pretty typical indie stuff.


This has a lot of potential to be a really fun game. I’d like to see a more fleshed out level next time with some enemies capable of fighting back. Some sound would be nice, even if it’s just place holder, adds a lot.

>>176208854
Honestly, I don't think it matters. At worst those games won't receive feedback or get some negative feedback. Devving does need commitment after all.

>>176209418
No, but knowing Valve the new system won't happen for 4 years

>>176209439
>>176209526
Next is Dim Reaper

There is some janky ass panning in the intro, you need to fix that.

I like the concept. Final Destination is one of my favorite movie series and this feels like it’s got those wacky kind of deaths.

I feel like it’s too difficult to execute some of the moiders.

The girl in the shower felt impossible. I assume I was supposed to lock her in the shower by pushing the cabinet over and then turning the boiler on but I could never get it to work. I didn’t try it but I would guess the other option was electrifying her with the hairdryer after she’s wet coming out of the shower.

It’s pretty polished. I think the players base movement speed should be faster. It feels to slow getting around, and while the sprint is good it feels completely necessary to move around.

I also think the objects you can interact with need a larger area. Some stuff like the ball, is just a bit too precise. If you’re trying to quickly execute someone like with the swords, it’s really a pain to miss because you couldn’t get there in time and the collision to interact with it was a bit too precise.

One of the big issues with these kind of games is they’re very scripted in what you need to do. I would love several different ways to kill individual family members. I hope that’s your intention because if it’s only one way it’s going to get boring, especially during replays and later missions. It’s likely you do some executions correctly, then someone gets out, and that forces you to have to redo everything, which is going to offputting to people, so keep that in midn while designing levels.

I hope you can come up with more creative ways to kill people. The cieling fan and the bed was fun and I hope more of them like that occur.

WHHHImp the Bold.

X to advance text is terrible. Don’t have a dedicated key to advance text, just make it the jump button or absorb button, or any key, it doesn’t matter. I had to look up on your itch.io page to figure out how to play which was really annoying.

I see where you’re going with the mechanics, but the little “tutorial” area, I had trouble getting through it. I think that that is actually terrible. Things are too precise, I was getting hit by bombs left and right, and I’d miss my shot on the spectacles guy. It just feels wrong. It’s hard to articulate why. Things like the float, the trajectory upwards feels strange. You’re slow as molasses, even while sprinting. I would strongly suggest increasing your run speed AND sprint speed. Is there a reason you start with 2 health? Do you get more as the game progresses? Why have the empty bar there? If you’re going to have health, give me more than 2 hits, at least 3 probably.

Climbing cliff faces, where you shoot into the wall then float does not feel good. It feels rough, and unintuitive, and thats not at all what you want in a game like this.

It’s good good art. And the sound is really nice. I’m not sure I like the enemy take over mechanic. It has potential to be good, but when your base character, and movement isn’t fun, then it’s going to destroy anything fun you could do with it.

I’m sorry to say, I don’t really like it. The problem is I have a hard time finding criticisms to help you fix it.

Kick IN.

I mean it’s punch out.

Works out. Not a fan of the control scheme. I generally prefer to use WASD to emulate teh D-pad and the arrow keys to use buttons for these kind of games.

It’s really slow. Dodging is way too forgiving because you can just stay there for tons of time.

Small things, on third down in a round, don’t do a count, just do an instant victory via TKO.

Otherwise, looks like it’s solid in progress.

Final Note:
If you’re going to make a furry game, you should just commit to making it porn since furries love when you put their degenerate fetishes into games.

What's the difference between this and just a pile of notes?

I am collaborating with an artist. We made a shooter game and I found out she's not very good at "polishing" but she's good at drawing characters. She also mentioned that in her forum post.
I want to make another game with her, (simple web/mobile) but what kind of a game would you say fit to her talent better?

>>176211412
piles of notes are very disorganized, and it's nice to have a standardized set of concepts pinned down that make actual sense than "abandoned city full of blind ghouls" written on a napkin

it has helped me define what i want, what's my scope, what are the elements i want to have in my game, it has also helped me realize things that work or don't work and systems i have to implement

maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it has certainly helped me over my gorillion notes

>>176211412
It's organized and ideally condensed to only say what's important in an efficient manner

Unless anon's talking about a bible in which case that's just a collection of notes

What do you like in a JRPG? Fixed characters, or Classes/Class Change system?

I kind of want to follow the oldschool style to a T. Big old all caps for key items. Gonna start it today. Maybe make stuff that's intentionally broken just to emulate that old style.

You are acting as if you made progress by not writing down your ideas like a fucking retard.

More feedback
Consecrated Rampage.

You’ve missed the point of an action game entirely.
Every attack has this insane windup which is the antithesis of what you’re apparently trying to do.

A style meter is meaningless when you can’t do cool combos. I mentioned it earlier in the video, but “effective” strategies are clearly present here. The stab attack has virtually zero windup. So why wouldn’t you spam it? You’ve clearly made an effort to balance it by making the damage low, but it’s still be far the most useful attack.

I would strongly suggest taking a look at the second game in this video. Combat in these kinds of game should be fast and loose. Making it slow and clunky is not the way to go.

I don’t like teh way you stick into walls if you fall. I assume that’s some unity collision garbage.

Unfortunately I can’t give much else. You gotta speed up every attack by a significant margin except the stab.

>>176212689
Jack and Cassie

Nice art. Good music. That's about it.

Unfortunately, the gameplay is really boring.

It's unique, but it's pretty mindless. You just throw whatever comes up into the line and wait around. It may get more intense later on, but it's just so dull. If the entire game is just going from town to town automatically you're going to have a failure of an experience.

Parody is a fine line to tread. I think you're going to run into the very real scenario where your humor doesn't land. I see you posting in the discord a lot, and half the shit I see you suggest is absolutely retarded and not funny.

Since the gameplay is pretty dull, the main draws are going to be the story and writing, and I'm just not seeing it be successful based on those merits alone.

>tfw too dumb for timers
I just gave lowered the players "attack points" to 0.1, locked the fps and show the HP as integers making it take several seconds to kill a monster

>>176213454
This is literally harder and more involved than setting up a timer.

>tfw to smart for timers

>>176213623
No it's still too dumb.

Dumb people often find retarded work arounds for things that are really easy to do.

>>176210902
Rather than instantiation, you could use object pooling, especially with an independent representation. Rather than instantiating each time the scene is loaded, it does it once and simply changes the sprites. You'll probably have some consistency, where level 1 is 10x10 and level 2 is 10x10, so there's not much reason to instantiate 100, then a unique 100, etc.

It's more or less irrelevant, but you can use a 1d array instead. Memory is loaded into the cache in chunks by rows, so a 1d array is better. Just use return y*rowWidth+x as an accessor.

Rather than have a tonne of sprite objects, I just have a few representing the player's field of view. Whenever the play moves, I change them: this tile is playerPosition.x -1, etc. That's how rougelikes usually work, and you already have that int array to work with.

You can also use a BitArray for TileType to cut memory. 0 is a floor, 1 is a wall. If you have more tile types you just use an array/list of BitArrays. Similarly, if you want to have tiles shadowed until visited, you can just have a BitArray that mirrors it, a bit for each tile. That's pretty cheap.

Anyway, that's all I know that could be helpful.

How the fuck would you do it then?

Different anon, but that's an unusual style, and harder to build with traditional materials. The entire point of a sloped roof is to keep precipitation from getting in, and exposing the joint where the roof meets the wall is a good way to get a leak. Having an overhang is the easiest way to avoid this.

Dim Reaper dev here, thanks for this!

You can actually "creatively" kill some people. Try throwing a ball into their face, killing them with chairs, setting them on fire (fire place), pushing them off the stairs, destroying TV. It's not an insta kill but you can make a chain event.

Slow movement is due to being more precise when selecting stuff, but I guess I could flip it (run speed first, then shift to slow down).

You can hold CTRL to more carefully select some items. Swords I think have a very precise mask, I can make it bigger. For the ball too.

All in all good criticism, thanks!

Depends. If you're going for something retro, just get any DAW with a random 8 bit VST and make some bloops with it to represent sounds.

Already have some proficiency with Unity but I find that it's a bit inconsistent when generating HTML5 games and 2D feels somehow awkward. I switched to Phaser, which is 2D HTML5 only. Which would you recommend if I mainly want to target HTML5 but don't want to close the door to deploying on other systems. This is related to the following questions.

>Monetization
AKA, how to I make money so I don't starve to death. Where's the money at? Mobile? PC? Web? Also, what about making money from ads While I understand that some genres might have different targets, is there any catch'em most approach? When I release, I want to be able to target and experiment with different strategies.

What about ads? Do they work or not? What about ads on the game's page? Is Patreon viable for indie devs?

>>176219249
Do you really want ads in your game? I find they completely kill any flow or atmosphere.

>Where's the money at?
Nevermind

>>176219375
Well, I don't like ads either, but I wanna make a decent living out of making games.

>>176219183
The editor somehow manages to be slower than fucking UE4 on my PC.

It's better about using a modern version of C# and coroutines and being idiomatic and whatnot than Unity. But I wouldn't use it over UE4.

>>176219249
The big money in mobile is generally free games where you have the option to buy shit and/or need to buy things to complete the game.

Patreon is viable if you're going for things like dating simulators, from what I can tell. Don't really know about other types of games.

I never devved on HTML5 but this might be useful.

>Monetization
This general hates ads for a good reason, mobile games are utter trash in this aspect.
I think your best bet would be making a solid game and putting it on every online store like Steam, and making a paid mobile version without ads.

sup fellas, I recently started working on a website. Its gonna be about gaming and gaming development. I was wondering what topics you guys would want me to cover. I can do 3d modeling, programming, art, pretty much any development-related topic.

>>176219590
>the option to buy shit and/or need to buy things to complete the game.
I'd like to avoid this route

>>176219590
>Patreon is viable if you're going for things like dating simulators
Is it unheard of having a patreon and release the assets (music/artwork) with an open license (like CC)?

>>176219779

>This general hates ads for a good reason, mobile games are utter trash in this aspect.
Yeah, see >>176219439, I don't wanna one of those devs.

>I think your best bet would be making a solid game and putting it on every online store like Steam, and making a paid mobile version without ads.
This sounds more like what I had in mind. Just checking if I was going down the right path. Perhaps release some minor games in the meantime to start getting known.

I'm curious if this works out for people without an existing fanbase/PC version.

You look at This War of Mine. It costs £10, which is crazy for mobile, yet it has >100k sales.

>>176220094
Yeah, but I'm not that good at drawing... Can produce unix porn though...

>>176220206
That's text porn.

>>176220307
Yeah, just noted I didn't read it properly. WTF

I'm a complete beginner who's interested in making a 2D turn-based RPG. I'm willing to learn how to code. Should I use RPG Maker, Game Maker Studio, Godot, or something else entirely? I hear RPG Maker is the easiest to pick up and use, but the other two give you a lot more options.

>>176194747

How do you guys do it? I'm struggling a simple ASCII with an @ walking around a room and killing a practice dummy. Do you guys read books or something? Or is this all there is to it? To keep cracking code until I finally got what I want?

>>176219479
Pretty much the only reason I try to avoid UE4 is that there are only Blueprints, which are sluggish to work with, and C++, with it's absurd compile time, limited IntelliSense and no REPL.

this is terrible. are you going to make just one commit or actually sort changes?

>>176221192
I just follow tutorials and learn from them. It's a mix between following stuff others do and then making slight changes in it. The more you do this, the more you also understand shit and can come up with your own stuff.

>>176221192
No shame in spending some good time on books to learn basics of data structures and language syntax.

>>176195496
I really hope you're not going for a realistic art style like that though.

>>176221192
>Do you guys read books or something?
Don't have time for that

>Or is this all there is to it? To keep cracking code until I finally got what I want?
Pretty much yes

>>176221178
The engines are free to use so just try them out, in the end all that matters is how comfortable you feel with them.
I think GM and Godot are the most solid 2D engines but googling around will give you a lot of other options too like LOVE and libGDX, it really depends on what you want.

Consider making a text-based RPG first, unless you know what you're doing

>>176221178
>I'm a complete beginner who's interested in making a 2D turn-based RPG.
>I'm willing to learn how to code.
This might sound a bit harsh but learning how to code and making games could prove to be a little too much unless you have the time to do both. If you can then go for it.
As for languages and such, just check what recommendations you get for the framework

>>176195496
OMG PHYSICS!!!! Pewdiepie will love this!

>>176221192
It's always a good idea to see how other people do the things that you're struggling with
not neccesarily full code, the general idea might suffice

>>176221192
Well, you haven't post what you're tools are using, so is anyone's guess how are you trying to do it.

>>176221192
>Do you guys read books or something? Or is this all there is to it? To keep cracking code until I finally got what I want?
It's a little bit of both

>Having a public contact
>Having a website
>having a facebook page

On top of my shit being so small currently it wouldn't be on their radar for years, if I just don't be retarded and post my shit on public spaces I should be fine.

Hell, if push comes to shove, I guess I can just put porn in the game and it'll become immune to C&D like Akabur's shit or Peach's Untold Tale.
I really don't get why porn never seems to get C&Ds

>>176221974
little space to cram many details in, less room for error because a single pixel out of place is noticeable

>>176221974
Art in general is hard.

Making something look like something is easy.

Making something look like something, but also GOOD. is very difficult.

You could try to piggyback on you programming knowledge and the fact that you know Java - which syntax is based on C, which many languages share - and switch to a proper framework instead of building everything from scratch.
Alternatively, post code and let's what wrong.

>>176222481

its actually something i've had to make for a while. i planned on making a system to used skinned meshes with from the start.

>what is wrong with Java?
It's very verbose and hardcore into OOP.
>what language do you suggest?
Personally, Clojure and F#, but that's just me.
(F# has not many idiomatic (read - non OOP) libraries though.
