/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

You can do it

There's no such thing as "skateboarding games".

There's only Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater clones that tried to cash in on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater hype.

Yep, it's a new feature

Making your own notes on paper is infinitely more flexible than having an in-game journal or notepad.

This is actually a pretty funny comparison when you think about it.

Space Invaders required the dev to make his own hardware since nothing supported what he had in mind at the time, but even his own hardware ran like shit and the speedup that happens when there are less enemies in the screen is actually a bug.

>making your player's lives harder because you are too lazy to add a simple notepad
Next you're telling me to edit a text file to change the controls.

Why does the player need to write things down? If it's something like taking a picture of the environment, or remembering a code, or anything like that, provide an ingame way to store the relevant info. Especially if there are only N pieces of information, you can even give the player a hint about how many they have found.

But a game like e.g. the witness, you need to write things down to puzzle out the solution, and you can't provide a consistent interface for that without spoiling part of the puzzle.

It's gotten a lot better since 3 years ago but I think they alienated their audience so much that nobody will touch it.

>>176249557
Different people prefer different methods of organizing and visualizing data. If you include a method for doing it in your game, you alienate all the players for whom it doesn't work well.

>>176249671
I tried it out once, but the lack of tutorial is just too damn hard to get through. It's a shame, because I feel like it's probably fucking amazing when you get into it.

It's nice to use pen and paper to take a break from a computer interface. Your brain uses different circuits for physical pen and paper.

A nice split is to use pen and paper for planning, and a computer for implementing. Even better if you sit in a different place while you're planning.

>>176249359
Less worrying about the license and more making games.

None of the OP engines fuck you in the ass. You just think so because you've never actually finished a game.

>>176249557
My game tries to detect whether the player is diligently finishing all their quests or just randomly fucking around, so that players who fuck around will get different roleplay options from players who try to be responsible.

>>176249557
Because mini-maps are shit and im tired of seeing them.
Or a puzzle thats too complicated to keep in your head.

>>176249805
I used it a fair amount just making levels and shit. It's fun for that and there are some very specific things it does very well, but I don't think it's anywhere near worth using over UE4.

>>176249671
Tried it back when it was v3, made a nature environment but they broke the lighting with a 3.5 update, haven't touched it since. Also, bad documentation and virtually no community, so if you want to use it for anything other than a generic FPS, you are out of luck.

>>176249359
If you really want to fuck yourself try to salvage released source code from games. Hardmode: It's a mmorpg (i.e. ryzom)

It's kinda interesting seing how they coded but also very hard to go through.

If I wanted to use pen and paper I would be playing tabletops

Unity takes care of everything for you, don't worry about it.

>>176249797
And not including any will alienate everyone who doesn't give enough of a fuck about your little whogame to whip out a pen and paper.
Hint: that's most of the players.

>>176249797
It's the other way around champ, by adding an in-game method you give players more options and won't alienate the ones that don't have pens and papers around.

>>176250085
This is /agdg/, every game here is a "little whogame".

The worst thing we could do is to churn out the same old stuff that every other game studio and indie developer does.

The concept art for the main character sadly didn't get far off the ground before the old artist had to leave, so no art, concept art or otherwise, of them actually exists of her from the front. The closest thing that I have that got made for them is her player health portrait I posted last thread. The current sprite set, aside from the player portraits, were quick images designed to be temporary things to use until we had the design finalized and ready to dedicate more time into making more detailed sprites.

...part of me also feels obliged to note that their race takes more of an inspiration from hyenas than goats. They just both happen to have horns and goaty ears in this case. The player character and the DD14 opponent aren't the same race. The PC race are closer to being gnolls with horns than they are goats.

Pic related is an icon of a female of the species that the player character is that I used in a tabletop back before their design was iterated into what it is now. It's probably the closest I can get as to concept art of a character of the PC's sex and species. Sorry I don't have anything more substantial.

You are seriously out of touch if you think an in-game notepad will somehow frustrate more people than not having a notepad would.

Here's your /agdg/ VG league post for today. Gonna go lowkey on this one so people can PLAY. THOSE. DEMOS.

I've created a discord to pile up any ideas / models anyone interested in this effort produces. It's not there to be a circlejerk, just to have a nice centralized dumping ground for ideas and heads as well as put up some generic FAQ stuff.

https://discord.gg/9P8GNW5

Don't feel pressured for time we still have weeks here. A friendly reminder that premade heads are absolutely fine to submit. If you know of some modeled heads steeped in agdg "culture" by all means host em somewhere and put em in the submissions folder.

Please use the word "4cc" in your post when talking about this so people who don't care about virtual divegrass can ignore it. If your more broadly interested in the concept I also suggest you to check out the 4ccg thread right here on /vg/!

>>176250127
Consider maybe doing packs with a theme. Say select a setting like djungle and then different tracks for different moods. i.e. combat, relaxed, scary, time attack... whole point of game music is after all to help set the mood of the situation and having different styles for a change of pace in one setting seems more usefull than only one type for different settings.

Whats your game about anon? I like robots.

>>176250565
>You are seriously out of touch
Perhaps, I tend to play games from the 80s and early 90s.

Another benefit of pen and paper: it adds more "screen space", you can have the game open at the same time as your notepad.

It's a 3d platformer with robots and basic story to tie the levels together. Gameplay will be similar to late 1990s - early 2000s platformers, like Bugdom, Shrek 2, Simpsons Hit and Run, Crash Bandicoot. Right now I'm just remaking the run/jump system since people pointed out it was one of the biggest problems (DD14 submission).

someone give me the run down on animation. is it hard? got some blender hands and I need to do some basic animations for the guns reloading, switching, shooting, etc. and also just general things like grabbing.

It's more important that the motion/pose reads than it is realistic.

Don't worry about stretching or breaking some bones.

>>176250768
I mostly agree, the only downsides to an ingame editor are:
1. Intention. With no ingame editor, it's clear that you should be using pen and paper. Including an ingame editor will unitentionally influence how players see the problems, they'll be looking through the lens of what your editor allows. This isn't a big downside.
2. Opportunity cost. The dev has to spend time on making a text editor instead of making a good game.
3. A shitty editor is worse than no editor. Pretty self-explanatory.

And finally, if games can require a controller, or a VR headset, or a high-end PC, it's legitimate to require pen and paper. It's a peripheral.

Just add psytrance.

>>176258248
trust me if you played flash!isaac then played rebirth!isaac you would not be able to go back, ever.

It's kind of a sad story though the dev who got left behind when edmund outsourced the remake later made a content update for the flash game that was hideously hard and very few enjoyed it.

If you're going to move goal posts at least move all of them.
The Binding of Isaac Rebirth was a remake of the original Binding of Isaac which was a flash game.

>>176258648
I did not know that

I do not play flash games

Is it possible to have an entity system without using a component reflection system or accessing other components directly?

>>176258853
Yes.

>>176258424
Can you pinpoint what exactly is cool as fuck? Your feedback is valued.

>>176258501
My music-bro is more in a synthwave phase at the moment, but I have a few levels planned where psytrance would be a better fit.

>>176258947
Thanks

>>176258853
It's possible to have one where component IDs are specified using bitflags or whatever. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you mean.

>>176258732
The flash version was also on steam. People paid money for it.

It was actually worth it until the remake came out and make the old game look like hot trash.

>>176258985
the speed

>>176259006
I already have the component IDing down, my problem is that I have to create entities based on user input, but neither the player input component or input systems should care or know about what will be created.

I'm sorry for interrupting but we received an anonymous tip telling us that there is an outlaw around these parts using our IP illegally to make a game.

Do any of you know anything about it?

Thank you for your patience.

>>176258985
I love a good synthwave but that seems too chill for your dark & edgy visuals. What you need is full-on Dancing Colin.

Why do these people always act like OOP means "create a class that is 20 million inherited classes deep"?

When I'm making a game I just code things how I need them. And if there's two classes that have a lot in common I'll split those common bits into a base class that both classes inherit from.
Is this not how OOP is supposed to be done?

Etrian Odyssey is awesome man and honestly we need more of these types of games.

Think of it this way, though: You could make 30FPS sprites from just a few dozen keyframes like this. Just put the keyframes in, let it do the inbetweens, and then clean them up.

XNA is alright, but "dead". It's already fully fleshed out, which makes it an okay choice. But don't expect an ultra rare bug to ever get fixed lol.
