>>180076417
It is a 2D turn based strategy man, I think it'd be boring to just make it so straightforward, there'd be no gambling aspect then, no adrenaline rush when attacking some unit that there might be a chance it might miss and push your shit in the next turn. Maybe my take on this is wrong.

>>180076074

if you are worried that much about rng then never use it for critical parts of the game, use deck shuffler instead. i've spent a year figuring out the best way to handle rng in a turn based combat and the middle ground solution is boost chance without telling the players (+10% at least), then decrease the chance to miss every time it does, or increase the chance to hit every time it doesn't, rng can get some pretty bad numbers in a row and mostly give you numbers close to the average number of the range, so tweaking is necessary.
the goal is to make a fun game not pure gambling, it will boil down to if the game is worth the time to use savescumming or not worth it at all

>>180076659
remember that you can fake that adrenaline rush, just make a 10% chance to miss 3 times in a row then land 10 times, or miss until health is down to a number before criting the enemy, of course you'd need to make those numbers a bit random so they can never be sure that you're doing something like this, it's partially scripted (in a good way)

>>180076659
>>180074771
>That's statistically not something that happens often.
Idiots think it happens never, and but when you're playing a game taking hundreds of shots per playthrough, it's quite likely. And then they bitch because you see 90% is actually supposed to be 100% because it's more than 50%.

>>180074773
Well, you definitely shouldn't be fucking with it in the same function as the one that generates the random numbers. Modify n in the casualizer function, then send it to a straightforward "roll 0-100 and compare to n". Anyway, the way XCOM does it on the baby difficulties is by invisibly adding 10% or so to your accuracy for each consecutive miss (gambler fallacy), and 10% flat for idiots who think 90% is 100%. It also gives additional invisible modifiers if you've lost soldiers in the same mission, to help spectacular comebacks "against the odds" I assume.

thanks for the ideas. I had the whole "chance to land a hit increases if previous was a miss" thing in my mind.
The "crit increasing at certain health" is a nice idea too. I'm gonna at least finish the hit, crit and related methods today before I go to sleep. Then there's art and music to do.
Also stat distribution on level up,should it be certain points to be assigned to stats by player or RNG based stat growths ?

Screamer.

>>180078957
It's just encoding. You have a 5x5 table that gives you 5^2 = 25 bits, giving you 25^2 (binary) = 625 possible values.

You have 8 booleans (one for each yes/no has beat a boss) and one integer for how many Energy Tanks you have, 0-4. I can't do the combinatorics on this but presumably it results in <= 625 possible values, where there may be some illegal/unused values. When you give a value you encode one from the player's current state, when you load a game from a password you decode the state from the password.

As for exactly how it works it probably uses bitwise methods. You could do something like: Start off with a sum of 0. If boss1 is beat, sum+1. If boss2 is beat, sum+2. boss3 beat, sum+4. Boss4 beat, sum+8... if clauseN then sum+N^2.

Each number has to be power of 2 value and this ensures that no matter which ones you add they will always result in a unique value. You can envisage this as binary, where incrementing by N^2 shifts bit N from 0 to 1.

>>180079064
I'm new to this, I don't know what that means.

>>180079358

Things light up when they are activated. The reason everything is so grey and washed out is because nothing has been unlocked yet. As things are unlocked they lighten up. This is to add contrast to what is unlocked and what isn't.

Re bitwise masks I found this a good resource: http://www.saltgames.com/article/awareTiles/

A roguelike where every "room" is a different genre.

e.g. you start in a top-down room, go left into a platformer room, jump up into an FPS room, walk over into a sidescroller room (which forces you to go right), etc.

Is this a dumb idea?

>>180080174
I don't think those genres work well when turnbased.

>>180080154
dude, i can barely handle doing ONE genre

>>180080174
it's dumb in that the scope is massive because you need to code each different genre

otherwise there was that one indiegame that wasn't a roguelike but it kinda evolved genres over the game's progression

>>180079658
it's like enginedev but you don't even get an engine out of it

>>180080154
Because most genres don't work well together, and the ones that do have already been done before and are now they're own genre

>>180079436
>>180079936
Woops, I did some of my calculations wrong. To get the possible values of binary you do 2^N not N^2. So, the possible values for a 25bit number is 2^25 = 33,554,432. I suppose they left enormous amounts of extra space so that you can't just guess the password.

This guy on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eQyYrSQPew) did the combinatorics to figure out how much space is actually required and it's only 11 bits. It's actually quite inuitive: 2^8 = 256 different possible combinations of having beaten/not beaten a boss, but in each of these states you can have have 0-4 energy packs which takes 5 bits to express. So, the final formula is 2^8 * 5 = 1,280 different possibilities.

It's a good marketing strategy, you get exposure and some early sales, and I'm guessing that's why he initially asked for $2k only, the problem is that if it backfires you have a project that failed to kickstart, so it becomes antimarketing.

To be honest if he wasn't so selective about what advice he listened to, he would have hit that goal easily.
People have been suggesting him ways to improve his art style for years now, but he doesn't pay any attention. He ignores basic things, such as simple color theory and gameplay related brightness values.

Anybody here into functional programming? I'm liking the idea of making a game using FRP in Scala probably (though I wouldn't be opposed to using a lisp or Clojure)... Don't know how feasible it is (I'm guessing it might be ok for a small 2D game, but more CPU-intensive 3D stuff might be out of the question). But it's just so god damned clean...

Anyway, either that or using something like ogre3D or just using an existing engine... haven't done C++ in a while, so I don't know how difficult it might be to get going with UE4.

Somebody sell me on either becoming enginedev or using an engine, please. Ideally I would like to make something like Amnesia or Little Nightmares, but could start smaller.

Btw, if it helps any, I'm a wagecuck wanting to get into vidyadev. Mostly do backend stuff professionally, but have nothing against frontend. My experience in games so far is limited to remaking simpler versions of frogger and space invaders back in school, but that was years ago, and they weren't even complete games, e.g. no levels, powerups, music, etc.

They are not.
Color theory means you should set up some rules about your colors and combine colors that work together, keep it consistent in a scene/area, etc.
Values mean you should balance your brightness and/or saturation in a way that things of interest capture more attention.
It's universal.

>>180082776
>haven't done C++ in a while, so I don't know how difficult it might be to get going with UE4.

Blatant marketing strategies employed on crowdfunding sites are not good marketing strategies.

He asked for too little money even at 5,000 and it portrays lack of confidence in his own game and/or an intent to fund it himself or fund it easily, this turns people off. Everything about the game and the kickstarter are vanilla and slightly sappy and manipulative including the "NOSTALGIC AND COMFY" sell line. The impression I get is that someone wants to say they were kickstarted and use it as some kind of credit to the game when really that's not a credit to the game at all it's irrelevant. So to use it as a marketing gimmick is bad.

I don't care if it passes or not but 5k is a measly kickstarter so it will probably pass.

>What are you currently working on
Physics based rolling game, kind of like a mix between Super Monkey Ball and a platformer.
I haven't made any webms of the levels I've done so far so here's a week old one
>and do you have any previous games out?
None. Worked on an fps before but gave up on the project quickly because the scope was too big and I just had my current idea, which is more interesting.

>>180083962
>Reminder that turn based games are DEAD.

What are you basing this conclusion on? I'm not working on a turn-based game, so I'm just genuinely curious...

>>180083872

>>180082760
>He ignores basic things, such as simple color theory and gameplay related brightness values.
In other words you weren't able to manually control a dev by talking "advice" at him. I hate when anons act like this. Make a valid criticism about his game and don't cry that some dev isn't letting you literally design the game from your armchair.

>>180083504
Emoticons ripped off hieroglyphics.

>>180083958

Well, KSP was made in Unity, so...

>>180084160
Look, it's basic design.
If you glance at a game and you aren't able to recognize where your main character and dangers are within a second, then the values aren't balanced correctly.

>>180084208
Yeah, but the devs were constantly blaming all the problems on Unity.

>>180084239
He autistically reworked lighting and colors for ages, anon. Let him finish the game and let it go that he didn't acknowledge every one of your dozens of demands you call "advice".

>>180084301
That's the thing though...
They blame the stuff, but if they had to make everything from scratch, they still wouldn't have a game.
And in the end, it would probably be less optimized than something like physx.

>>180084145
Collision doesn't work in tandem with the sword to wall clinging ability. I'll have to manually handle it - I assume with raycasts.

>They blame the stuff, but if they had to make everything from scratch, they still wouldn't have a game.
This.

>>180084358
I don't care much either way, i just dislike his approach. Relies too much on asset store stuff that clashes with his "arstyle".
Also does stupid things, like putting his real name in his main menu, and saying "directed by" (he thinks hes kojima)
Or taking a screenshot of a character and putting a line around it, and saying it's concept art.
He works hard, but what use is that if he isn't learning new things?

>>180083962
Nope. The turn based resurgence will happen in the coming years. Now that there is a turn based Mario XCom like it will revive the love for turn based games.
If you start working on a turn based game now you may be able to finish it by the peak of the turn based era.

>>180084301
UE4 then. There aren't that many choices, unless you want to dive into more "obscure" territory like Torque3D, Panda3D, Irrlicht, idTech, or something of the sort, anon.

By obscure I mean there's probably fewer indie devs using this tools, which means smaller communities, less support, etc.

Yeah, I was making up words.

Although technically correct, enginetics and scienetics used a greek suffix with latin root words (Ingenium and Scientia respectively). I should have been using greek root words.

My game has three main 'areas' which have corresponding attributes:
Tactics (Valour) (Study of military matters)
Systemics (Logic) (Study of systems - Engineering)
Epistemics (Insight) (Study of knowledge - Science)

There are also three sub-areas:
Mechanics (Valour/Logic)
Technics (Insight/Logic)
Socionics (Valour/Insight)

>>180085127
just ignore. he is retard.

If you have a problem and you wrote the engine, you can fix it.

If you have a problem and you're using Unity, you're fucked.

>>180083872

You need to add the vector of the block pushing up to the jump, when the character is on the block.

This is a physics issue.

Every tool has limitations. Engineering is about using your brain to fix problems not blame every tool that happens to be in your hand at the time. Fucking nitwit.

You're trying to convince Unity users they are "fucked" not make excuses for whatever pitiful single purpose "engine" you believe you're capable of making. Stay focused.

>>180085775
Same thing, if you can't work around a problem on an established engine you don't have the skillset to roll out your own, no matter if it's general purpose or a one time job for a particular game.

>>180085868
what indie game are you making that would require intense power? Feels like you are making excuses for poor coding skills and lazy paid asset importation.

>>180085868
No one on /agdg/ could even make a game that would stress Unity (assuming their code was properly optimized).

Started working on level generation. Currently the level is made of a 20x20 grid of chunks, every chunk is 1500x1500 in size so the total play area is 30000x30000 (pixels). Gotta figure a smart way to "wrap" the game world to make it smooth and "endless".

Each chunk has either a space station (really crude atm) or a planet, and a bunch of asteroids.

Added a fuel meter as well, the player will have to stop at planets/stations to refuel, repair and upgrade the ship. Enemies and asteroids drop scrap, and killing enemies rewards credits and exp.

How would something like a Tycoon game deal with saving/loading a large variety of user placed objects?

They all have different amounts/types of information.

serialization

>>180093450
If it's on a grid, then it's really easy, just save the overall grid state.

>>180093450
Use a framework to automatically serialize/deserialize objects into JSON/XML/whatevs. It does most of the magic automatically and it's easy.

If you need to initialise unknown types use reflection.

It seems like my type of game, I really like it. Would play if had the chance.

Don't listen to the faggots here, I think it looks perfect already with the weird desert mood.

make a very lewd game

Because it's easy to pick up and developing time is short. You're telling me that I should dive into alarms?

Maybe I framed it wrong. My main concern is what other languages/engines use instead of Game Maker's alarms.

I don't know what you're talking about but I have issues with this

Hey guys so I posted a while back about making music for games and you guys gave some great advice.I was wondering if y'all could take another look at my three newest songs and critique them?

>>180092860
no

>>180094858
Yes.

>>180094858
Yes please.

>>180094858
no

>>180094858
no

>>180094934
Oh well. I guess I shouldn't expect others to want to make it.

I want to show you a game I made some time ago, where should I upload it?

Any 3D art guys here? I know that /v/ hates this game but I just love this art style.

It seems so simple so what are they doing? It looks to me like most of the assets are textureless shadeless style. Is that even true?

I've started to learn how to draw as a precursor to painting. I can model low poly stuff fine. I will try to emulate this pic and post results later.

The art style is cool.

It's the nu-male sjw lumberjack hipster with glasses and beard that's the problem.

Mostly the same thing but with a different name, 'timers'.
I don't even think there are any alternatives other than observables or raw gametime comparisons in update loops.
