I get weird things like this where the idle time shoots up and surpasses the fixed frame time. I don't know if I'm interpreting this wrong but as I understand it, fixed time is the sum of the time spent running all the stuff that gets listed below, and idle time should be the cpu waiting for the next frame, aka (Fixed Frame Time) - (Fixed Time), if the fixed time exceeds the fixed frame time then there's no idle and you just lost a frame. The game dropping a frame because of idle time doesn't make sense.

>>180368248
Mine already is, I just need to modify some stuff to make it so that the player has multiple lives and gets a game-over instead of just restarting the level, but that's not a hard thing to do.
Problem is, I've got very little content, and little polish. I've been fucking around with the gameplay and couple visuals too much

>>180369470

The good thing about you spamming the thread with it means that I will instantly hate and thumb down this game and tell everyone I know to do the same.

How do you feel about this as someone with a passion in creating games? How do you feel when people consider them literally the worst thing in the world? You don't hear that shit about other art, at least not so often.

>>180369970

I have been following it for a while. There are different cases, but what hurts a bit is that they are treating games in general as a waste of time and a drug you need to get completely rid of.

>>180370669
because 99.9% of games are a waste of time.
they're barelly above porn and anime (comics) in terms of art.

you don't see people thinking chess or sports as waste of time though.

make something meaningfull to people.

>>180370669
If you're addicted then you should probably stop completely, just like anything.

>>180370320
>is it an indie game or..?
This is the most offensive part of this bait and I'm not even sure this was on purpose.
Indie fighters tend to be deeper than AAA ones since they don't go for mainstream appeal.

>>180370669
they're right

>>180370669
If they think games are negatively affecting their lives then there's nothing wrong with quitting it completely. It's a slippery slope for them, you don't tell an alcoholic to simply drink in moderation.

How does that hurt a bit? Why do you care at all? The only time you should care is if you're the one addicted to video games.
These people have zero influence on you. They are not your target audience, they do not matter whatsoever to gamedev.

why are people posting reddit links

How could someone who likes video games reach the age of 18 and still care what the general opinion of them is?

Unless...

same deal with games.

you never see people complaining chess, go, shogi, pacman, street fighter II, civilization, soccer, final fantasy, castlevania sotn as waste of times though.


people only complains about shitty games with nothing to it that uses skinner boxes to make people adict.

Do you think players would hate me if I added a shader to make the game look like this?

>>180369647
Give him a hair flick idle animation when in fight mode.

Game story idea:
Generic damsel in distress story. The main character is a strong white male who must go save his true love whom was kidnapped by the generic evil character. The gameplay can be whatever you want. Throughout the game you never see the character's true love, but there's always reinforcement about how much the main character loves this character.

Finally after beating the entire game and defeating the big bad boss, you are reunited with your true love. Your true love is a male. It's important to never give hints about the main character being gay or that the damsel in distress is actually male.

Bonus points if the big bad character is female.

I hate everything

>>180375165
Triggering feminazis for the entire game and then at the very end they realize it was a "good" story the whole time.
There's a high chance that someone will be triggered before even finishing the game, calling the game misogynistic, you can then point and laugh.

>>180375235
even assuming you're really that cynical about your own work, why would the twist give you more "points" than simply making a gay love story? what's the point of the fakeout?

>>180375364
really? you would spend all that effort just for this lame culture war "troll"? everyone would just know your game was a gay love story the day after it came out anyway.

wouldn't you rather make a game you actually believed was good rather than a lame attempt at mildly annoying an imaginary feminist?

>>180375645
Why can't the game be good and also have a gay love story?

Gameplay and story are opposites, anon.

>>180375884
Where is the game? Where is your game?

>>180375841
it can, which is why i suggested simply making a gay love story instead of some silly fakeout game designed to generate angry tumblr posts (which would not happen anyway). the lame part is not the gay love story, it's the cheap attempt at generating social media attention.

>>180377358
It's pretty fun, but I guess that I'll have to drop them at some point. There're some devs here (2 at least) that are going this route and I bet their games are more complex than what I have in mind.

To the mentioned blueprintdevs, if you have any advice, I'm all ears.

>>180377569
Stop replying to the shitposter, you don't need to drop blueprints since they are designed to be used in finished games.
The usual way is blueprint for almost everything + some C++ for stuff the blueprints can't cover properly.

Dont worry about it. You are making that game, right?

>>180358075
That's MUCH better, thanks anon

>>180377540
It is perfect for indie trash, so yeah, no wonder you guys here praise Unity. Just compare the games made in Unity vs UE.

>>180377569
You don't need to drop them at any point. Don't listen to retards (of which this thread has several). MAYBE you'll need to convert something to C++ or something but cross that bridge when you come to it.

UE4's renderer will most likely take up more processing power than any of your gameplay logic.

Two dead projects, one prototype, and one more project in and I haven't had to use any C++ in UE4. It's really needed for the most complex stuff.
The only other problem with blueprints is that doing math is tedious. They should make some "function" mode where you can just input like "(A*X+B)^2" and get the corresponding inputs for your parameters.

implemented "safe zones" around stations, enemies don't spawn while in the safe zone. You gotta kill the existing enemies to be able to land, though (landing (tm) not implemented yet)

>>180378998
Use a different method for checking whether the player is touching the ground, naturally. You don't need to be checking whether its side is touching ground, you need to be checking whether its bottom is touching ground.

>>180378998
Figure out why your collisions are bad and fix them.

So I am curious ... I know that programming is basically two main skills - knowing a language and be able to solve problems using that language.

Now the first one has more resources online than I know what do with, but do any of you know of a good source (course, tutorials, blog, whatever) that gets you thinking like a programmer and introduce the non-language skills you need to actually code something cool, that can recommend for a beginner?

Thanks.

>>180378998

That's one of the reasons I'm writing my own image editor

>>180379203
No, there's no way to learn common sense.

>>180378998
write a swept aabb collision check algorithm

>>180378998
The normal of the ground is pointing straight up. The normal that the player is colliding with is straight right. Therefore the player is not on the ground.
Use dot product.

>>180378598
Yeah, the introduction of perspective makes it look farther back and less like it's literally glued to the roof of the mouth or something. Though I still might nudge it down a bit so that there's some empty space between the top of the disk and the bottom of the teeth at the head on angle.

>>180378627

I don't care about the hipster interface, what pisses me off is how the pixels are bigger in the program, like you're editing an image in it, and the zoom field says 100% but it's not really 100% and when you save the damn image it's actually smaller that what you were working with.

Actually he's copying a guy who was copying luftrausers. His first progress post of the game you're replying to was in reply to the other guy and basically amounted to "hey nice game I'm gonna steal it". I haven't seen the guy with the cyan-y turquoise-y space game post since.

You are not successful developers.

>>180379203
>thinking like a programmer
you have realized something valuable. I haven't found such resource for that, which directly tells you how to think. I think this is something you can learn through cs courses, or by practicing for long time.

One thing I know is, there is data stored, and there is the processing of that data. Computer doesn't need to know things. The data stored doesn't need to represent things how they actually are in real world. It doesn't need to make sense to you. Second, computers are fast, so sometimes writing some code which might look like a long way, can be no problem.

But you're in agdg, just start making games, when you come across a problem which you don't know how to overcome, search the internet. Through time you'll have the necessary mindset.

Pretty much this. Although I guess my game is closer to lufrausers currently than the "original" game. not sure where I'm going with this. Mostly just copied the aesthetic from the game.

yes, 3d is way easier in terms of the asset pipeline. it's not an accident that so many older 2d games actually used prerendered assets. the people who made isometric rpgs and rts games would have fucking worn their hands down to the bone if those endless sprites had to be drawn in 2d.
