Game development helps to stave off my lifelong depression and anxiety, I don't feel like a complete NEET waste and I'm proud of my progress, I finally feel like I'm part of the world and not just an observer.

Is the bat supposed to be an enemy? I thought it was an alternate form of the MC.

>>180877783
I like the look of your game

>>180877891
The player can become any enemy.

i've picked godot and reading through the docs, why does anybody complain about bad docs when it has a step by step tutorial and you can pretty much check every usable class in the engine itself?

>>180877997
yeah but it doesn't look like an enemy, the color scheme is the same as the player

>>180878027
it doesn't burp you and change your diaper so its shit

>>180878067
Because there's a whole class of enemies that are the same type of monster as the player

i'm trying to improve the general feel of all of my movement to be more fluid. i've been working on turning, decided to mess with some values for fun.

>>180878027
Because people don't read through the docs and expect tutorials in the class reference instead.

>>180878027
Yeah when you move away from the more commonly used classes you may notice that a lot of them have nothing but the function names written in the docs.

>>180878136
But can he stand up consistently after falling?

>>180878136
When did this become a break dancing game?

>>180878382

it didn't. but you can break dance if you spam all the movement keys while rolling and kicking.

>>180877105
what are you talking about, anon?
they should work first try, you don't ever need to test if something works, because it does works
That's how programming is, write once, test once.

So I finally have time to get back to developing my pet project, a game heavily inspired by the battlenetwork games.

If you had something to add/improve upon the original formula, what would you do?

>>180878335

i was going to do a canned get up sequence but i want to do it right. i'm working on a more procedural system for getting up.

So, *a-hem*, as it turns out, I'm an amazing dev and my games are really popular.

I think some apologies are in order.

The Bokube Kickstarter will succeed, and here is why

1: It's a better game than many which are funded at that price. It is a puzzle game with custom assets and it works.

2: A demo is available to prove it works. This puts it above most kickstarter games.

3: It is super casual and norm norms have money.

4: agdg shitters are always wrong about kickstarters and said at the beginning it wouldn't be funded, so you can guarantee it will

5: Kickstarters have failsafes and only the kind of baffoon who thinks professional wrestling is real would believe the negative hype and fake drama about whether it would fail

Hi, I'm just getting into game dev and this is my first project. It's a top down shooter, obv. I'm making it in Construct 2 because that seems like a pretty easy place for a novice to start.

This is my first ever progress post so I'm not sure what to say other than "I'm here and not a nodev anymore". This is fun so far! Although I think as soon as I start creating enemies the fun is going to stop immediately.

Why does opening structs in Unreal cause the editor to crash?

>>180881229
That's what I thought as well.
I was wondering why it was suggested.

the moon thing in the background looks kinda weird. like its too obviously just a 3d model positioned behind the other level geometry. you should maybe position farther away or think about using some filters at some point in the future. I know you probably gonna change it but its just something i noticed

>>180881662
Enemies are one of those things that are easier to do than they seem.

Even if you make really basic AI, you'll find it works just fine in practice. Of course like with most things the more effort you put in the better it gets, but it doesn't take much work to get something simple and fun.

So yeah don't worry, just do it.

>>180882645
I hope that's the case, yeah. I was thinking of doing it sort of like Hotline Miami where enemies have a couple of different states when they're not active (patrolling, investigating noise etc), but only one or two when they are (moving around, closing in on the player, standing still and firing etc).

The pathfinding is what I'm worried about, that seems like it's gonna suck no matter what I do.

how the fuck do people write structured and clean lua?
coming from a strictly typed compiled language, the freedom overwhelms me.

>>180883858
tables

>>180879892
lowpoly was a mistake

>>180883413
I'm really not all that familiar with events, but the way I saw them explained in a Unity tutorial a while back is that you put functions in a box (the event), and then you call that box and it calls all the functions for you.
In this particular case it doesn't much matter because I was just trying to reduce the number of nodes in my graph by replacing a function call with an event, but if I wanted to say, call an event on every instance of an actor, I can't do that without iterating over an array of every instance, and at that point I may as well just use a function to avoid clutter in the main graph.

>>180883457
How so?

>>180883858
chairs

>>180883724
Wow, that's not going to make it(unless bokube fills the gap himself). And the guy who pledged $1,000 is either bokube himself or someone who is going to refund on the last day.
Life is too cruel for bokubedev.

>>180883913
but everything's tables and there's never any guarantee about them unless you litter your code with if table[key] thens.

>>180883858
You don't, Lua sucks.

Probably the only good dynamic language is Scheme

>>180883858
I get around this by using another language instead.

>>180883951
>you put functions in a box (the event), and then you call that box and it calls all the functions for you
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Blueprints/UserGuide/EventDispatcher/
You bind events to an event dispatcher, and call the event dispatcher which proceeds to activate all those bound events.

>>180884290
>>180884294
but muh löve

>>180883951
Events are just an execution starting point with a optional input parameters, after that it's a normal graph. Functions have an output, can't have latent nodes etc.
Events can be bound to timers/event dispatchers.

I have no idea what you're on about with your description. If all you want to do is reduce clutter then just collapse the nodes.

>>180883724
I feel bad for bokube but at the same time I would never buy or even play his game. Weird feeling.

Of the projects that have reached 60% of their funding goal, 98% were successfully funded.

>>180884294
>>180884290

you have to understand lua is a SCRIPTING language. that means it's for implementing single responsibility, isolated functionality. not for organizing a whole program

>>180884434
so is scheme

>>180884550
What's your point? Scheme is much like Lua in that it gives you almost too much flexibility.

>>180884361
what is love?

>>180884632

Reminder that if an engine is not in the OP then you shouldn't be using it.

>>180884612
scheme is a far more consistent and powerful language

>tfw theres never been a dev bullied harder than bokube

>>180884839
That's beside the point, if someone is having trouble with discipline in Lua, Scheme is not going to help.

>>180884869

There are still classes and functions that completely lack description. But you're right, it's not nearly as bad as some people say.
Also some of the complaints I've seen is that there's not example code for every function. I think that's too extreme though. Example code for every class might be something that would be a benefit though.

Would it be cool to have the style of puzzle solving in a point-and-click adventure game swing wildly between logic puzzles, lateral thinking puzzles, lateral thinking puzzles that look like logic puzzles, and logic puzzles that look like lateral thinking puzzles, or would this just be frustrating and add a kind of "false" difficulty?

Webdevs, is there a way for my function formAction() to know the values of the input element in the form?

>>180886185
>>180886363

I'd probably just use jQuery, bind submit on click, then inside the callback function use $(this).parent().children() and make sure to ignore the button element.

>>180878125
this doesn't really change the fact that it's visually confusing. Gameplay should probably trump lore in a game like yours.

>>180886849

If you make the squishy enemies react to the bombs you're dropping, you could potentially add a pacifist route which would go well with the overall tone of the game and increase the solution space. But alas, fuck it.

When a node is freed all child nodes are also freed. Note that removing the node from the scene tree does not free it, and it doesn't free itself when it's not referenced anymore. This can cause a memory leak if you don't free a node and it has no references.
Anything that extends from Reference will free itself when it's not referenced anymore, so you don't need to worry about that.

>>180889507

You guys always say that Unity is a meme and that Gamemaker and Godot are the go-to for 2D games, but why do big hitters like Ori and Hollow Knight go for Unity?

It's kind of weird how there's always writers, level designers and ideaguys wanting jobs when you don't want them, yet when you go to look for someone who does those things (maybe more design than ideaguying), you have to pay..

I'm actually at a point where a writer would actually help. Not that I'm asking you memers.

What's the best way of infinitely scrolling a vertical background? Do you guys create two instances and move one on top of the other once it reaches the bottom of the screen, or do you make one image that's twice the size of the screen?

Why not a combo of both?

I'd expect having a super long one wouldn't be great. But having two small ones constantly placing after each other would not be great for memory either.

So depending on how long the level is, split it into fourths or fifths and have them spawn after each other but that way it's not too quickly

Of course, in a way you're right, this game is supposed to be easy because all my games till now got the complaint that they were too hard. I think you may get sucker-punched by some levels, but a normal human with normal reflexes should be able to win it in one go, give or take.

Why the fuck do people think mixing "logic" and "presentation" is inherently bad? They make so much more work for themselves. Why would you try to separate logic and presentation for e.g. GUI code? The whole point of a GUI is that you're showing stuff to the user and doing different things when the user interacts with it.

the hero's journey is simply a tool, if you're a hack it will be shit.

most of the better stories still use the hero's journey.

Is like calling the rule of thirds or the golden ration shit because everyone uses it.

>>180893318
How much of a cut do they take anyway?

>>180893438
the heros journey isn't even the three act structure, it's even more cancerous since it's literally just the same story over and over

Is it a bad idea to buy this just for a couple of the features? I've already got a better combat/inventory system so I don't need it for that (plus the inventory is not that great), but what I really want it for is the movement system (the climbing and all that) and the stealth takedowns. Also the gravity system is kinda cool which I might have a use for. Would it be a mistake to buy the kit for that? I can't really see any cheaper alternatives, aside from making them myself.

It's a narrative structure, is like calling a humanoid character cancer because is always the same structure.

you can twist it however you want, make the story begging in the middle, put the end the in the beggining, make subplots, make the story more complex, make it a tragedy, make a bittersweet ending.

It's just a tool, if you're a hack your story will be shit.

no it's literally a complete story. if you use it you're a fucking hack who just ctrl+f'd the name of the characters and locations

In narratology and comparative mythology, the monomyth, or the hero's journey, is the common template of a broad category of tales that involve a hero who goes on an adventure, and in a decisive crisis wins a victory, and then comes home changed or transformed.[1]

The study of hero myth narratives started in 1871 with anthropologist Edward Taylor's observations of common patterns in plots of hero's journeys.[2] Later on, others introduced various theories on hero myth narratives such Otto Rank and his Freudian psychoanalytic approach to myth[3], Lord Raglan's unification of myth and rituals,[2] and eventually hero myth pattern studies were popularized by Joseph Campbell, who was influenced by Carl Jung's view of myth. In his 1949 work The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell described the basic narrative pattern as follows:

A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.[4]

Campbell and other scholars, such as Erich Neumann, describe narratives of Gautama Buddha, Moses, and Christ in terms of the monomyth. While others, such as Otto Rank and Lord Raglan, describe hero narrative patterns in terms of Freudian psychoanalysis and ritualistic senses. Critics argue that the concept is too broad or general to be of much usefulness in comparative mythology. Others say that the hero's journey is only a part of the monomyth; the other part is a sort of different form, or color, of the hero's journey.

Not really. You'd need depth info, you may as well make 3d models at that point.

The shadows on the helmet and body are ok. But once you have a couple of them on screen it'll start looking inconsistent.

You might want to stick with flat shading and just have the highlights be details on the armour

and yes, real life follows the same story.

It's the same story everytime.
there's only one story.

Oh shit your the guy I want to steal ideas from. Also I wanna say keep your guys movement him just cross armed and not actually moving but rather floating. It gives off a pretty surreal vibe.

>>180897746
yeah, I'll go and check FL studio.

see ya.

>>180897695
do you think posting these shitty scam videos proves anything?

>there is only one story
if everyone just uncreatively copies the same story over and over, yeah.

Maybe I'll do some level design, the current map is pretty sad and a prettier environment should make it easier to shill my crap on twitter.

Anyway, what's your game actually about? The desolate map and abstract enemies always remind me of something but I am not what exactly.

Just started my gamemaker roguelike tactics game thing. In true nodev fashion, I'll start posting updates that nobody wants and then probably stop after a few weeks.

Today I managed to implement walls. Obviously, I've already done movement and floors and whatnot. Next on the list are doors and line of sight, which I'm not looking forward to doing. And don't even get me started on the battle system or random level generation.

Wish me luck!
