How to make aiming with analog stick in GM:S? I use
>var r_stick_dir = point_direction(0,0, gamepad_axis_value(0, gp_axisrh),gamepad_axis_value(0, gp_axisrv));
for getting the direction, but with this, the stick prefers 8 directional aiming instead of full 360.

Have you guys heard of Crocotile? I just discovered it and I think this is my new obsession. It's a free program that lets you use 2D tilesets to model 3D terrain and characters. Can't export or save obj files if you don't buy a license, but they're only ten bucks... I think this is my new favorite tool. Thoughts?

Searching fiverr for artists is depressing.

Either because they charge closer to 500 dollars than 5, or because the person is.. how can I say this.. a loser. Not that I'm not, don't get me wrong. It's just sad seeing these people with pictures of themselves and they're worn down, and their work is really, really bad, and it's clear this is just a last ditch effort at trying to find a way to make money..

I'm saying that anybody can compose in a major key in 4/4 or triple time, even your annoying neighbor's even more annoying nephew, to really stand out you have to be able to step outside that comfort box. Good game music these days shifts time and key signatures every few bars, can loop midway onto itself at a different key, and segue seamlessly into other parts of the soundtrack

What's your game's story, anon?

You do have a story, right? You sure aren't making a silly time waster for kids, but are using the power of this medium to create emotions and meaning, right?

>>181079058
>anybody can compose in a major key in 4/4 or triple time
Sure it's easier than ever to do so nowadays, but it's still hard to make a good song.

Anyway, I'm a fervent believer that good game music is music that suits the game's own needs. Yes, you'll need to do different things to stand out and all that, but that's something that should come from the game itself. You shouldn't just immediately go meterless, 12-tone scale in a simple kid's game, for example, unless that's somehow meant to be the draw.

Simpler music can do wonders you know. Just look at all the people who fell in love with the Mario Odyssey trailer music. Otherwise, if your game is meant to be more abstract, then by all means, have meter changes every few bars. It all just depends on the effect the game needs at whatever given moment.

I'm confident that in my own composition abilities, as well as my ideals for music in games. That said, I'm never going to stop trying to learn new musical ideas, which is what you seem to be suggesting. It's just that I'm also very much interested in game development, even though I still consider music to be my main ability.

Yeah, that has some of that vibe. I haven't played it a lot, but I don't remember you're the bad guy there. I could use some of it for inspiration.

Hm, I'm not sure if that's every RPG, at least not how I picture it. Your missions actively ruin the place by the actions you are forced to do by your lord.

It wouldn't be the main mechanic, but it could work well in my game where you travel to different towns where you need to assassinate your targets, steal some intel, do kidnappings, destroy the resources etc., so every time you return to the town you've already visited before, you'll see the changes you've made and it should make you feel like shit. The whole visuals of town should slowly change, as well as the music. I'd add the possibility that you can disobey your lord, but you must face the consenquences etc.

Anyway, I'll rather stop ideafagging and actually try to work on it, since it's kinda hard to explain.

But in all seriousness arrays and loops are the majority of programming. OOP will be tough but it's a satisfying beast to conquer. Also, might I suggest learning C/C# or Java instead?

Progress:

Implemented gradual turning based on character's current direction and stick tilt.
Finally implemented (some form of) friction. Movement's a lot tighter and satisfying now.

Need to sort out applying speed to the direction of the character, or figure out a way to not lose speed when turning.

Make it randomly choose between the two every time the player starts the game. So they never know what they'll get.

dragondrop is a worthless noob trap that only goes to a dead end, ignore it and learn GML

Uh, hello everyone. I was wondering how I would determine who owns the trademark or copyright to a little N64 game called Aerogauge. It was developed by Locomotive games and Published by ASCII entertainment. Locomotive games was sold to THQ, but THQ went out of business.

Who owns it now? How would I find out who owns it? If nobody owns it, could I just make a game called Aerogauge 2 if I wanted? I asked /biz/ but they sent me here.

>>181091826
Why would they send you here?
I mean /biz/ is the wrong place to ask unless you're buying bitcoin..
Maybe ask over at /google/. They're generally pretty knowledgeable with these kinda things.

>>181091826
just give it another name, game mechanics can't be copyrighted

>>181092106
Do you think I'd be asking here if I could just google it?

>>181091826
Try and read their chapter 11 bankruptcy auction documents, maybe its mentioned there. On the other hand maybe the IP was owned by ASCII entertainment. Actually the easiest thing would be look up the original devs on facebook or twitter and ask them who knows it

>>181092184
But I want to make it a sequel, with the same vehicles and new ones.
>>181092362
Where would I find the bankruptcy auction documents? Also, I can't find him anywhere. I am emailing so many fucking people but I can't find his email.

>>181091826
Was THQ a publicly traded company? If it wasn't then the copyright is dead and you can take the IP.

>>181092461
It was publicly traded, sadly.

>>181091826
just make what you want, change some stuff like a similar name, change a few bits of shit, so you can't be sued, done.

I honestly do not understand this.
You can make an exact clone literally any game you want, all you have to do is change the art and characters and names so nothing infringes on copyrights.
Why the fuck are some people so obsessed with IPs that they want to make a game specifically with that IP? Like you don't even need to make the theme different, it can be the same theme.
And honestly the cars aren't even super unique, you can probably make highly similar looking cars without infringing on anything.

Also you know everyone will just call it an FZero clone even if you did call it "Aerogauge 2"

Should I use accessors (getters/setters) as opposed to making variables public?

It's something I've seen a lot of people do including my profs, but I've heard arguments against it that talk about how it provides no functional advantages and muddies your code.

>>181097598
Depends. Getters/setters without any logic can run assertions and stuff (design by contract). And it's easy to turn a getter/setter without logic into a getter/setter with logic, not so much if you start with a field. If you are using C# or something else with properties or an equivalent, you should always use them.

>>181097598
Getter/Setter are used when following the OO paradigm. Whether one should do that is an argument as old as OO.

>>181097136
who are you are what was your game

>>181097598
Always use getters and setters. They're important enough for Microsoft to invent properties when they made C#, which are getters and setters baked into a variable when you instantiate it.

>>181097598
>it provides no functional advantages and muddies your code.

It provides encapsulation. Its a safeguard where if you decide to change the underlying structure of your code, you can just change the body of the getters and setters without having to modify anything else.

Say you have

struct MyDude {
int speed_m_s; // speed in m/s
}

And everything in your code refers to the speed of MyDude by speed_ms:

void Function(whatever) {
int x = mydude.speed_m_s;
}

But in the future you find a really neat physics or animation library and the units they provide are like, jiffies/ms or some shit

So you retool the MyDude class to use jiffies_ms, but now everything that refers to MyDude's speed in m_s must be changed

If you use a getter and setter, you wouldn't have to change anything excecpt for the getter and setter:

struct MyDude {
int get_speed_m_s() {
convert_jiffies_to_m_s(speed_in_jiffies);
}
int speed_in_jiffies;
}

Sorry if this is a tad incoherent im smashed

In Unity, how does TransformDirection work?
If you do:
CameraTransform.TransformDirection(PlayerTransform)
it makes it so the player's movement corresponds to the camera's perspective, but I don't know how it actually does this. Does the method treat CameraTransform basically as the world space?

>>181097120
So she's a trans bee ant very progressive

>>181098032
That's not a problem I would consider being best solved with getters and setters. Just pick a standard unit system and convert as "close" to the library as possible, never let code abstracted from the library use anything but those units.

>>181098205
The point is you don't always have the benefit of hindsight. My example may be flawed but can always run across a situation where you didn't plan for something and must change its underlying implementation.

A simple scalar value may become an expression of multiple scalar values computed on demand, or something else entirely. You always want the things that access the classes you create to never care about the implementation.

In most mature/professional code bases you will find an API that tries to maintain stability and then the underlying implementation separated from it. This makes sure you can go back and make changes to the implementation without having to change everything that uses it. That's what encapsulation is all about and its important to consider it at least. If your game is simplistic enough and you are a relatively new coder, don't worry too much. If you are making something you actually want to maintain, it should be something you think about.

Does a for loop in GML check it's clause (i < whatever) every single iteration of the loop, or determine it at the inception of the loop and repeat that many times?

>>181098729
>>181099075
Unless you already have a game, it is WAY WAAAY to early to be worrying about this shit.

That said, write a story worth respecting and at least some people will respect it, and you're not in any way obligated to give a fuck about those that don't unless you feel their criticisms are valid.

>>181099483
The former.

>>181099483
...after every iteration. A loop that doesn't check its clause every iteration would effectively be a simple repeat statement.

>>181099486
I already have a good portion of a game.

I want to make a level where the player has to choose between letting a potential waifu get raped and killed, or access to a cache of upgrades. Not even to be edgy, It makes sense in the story, but I like the idea of story consequences versus gameplay consequences. Maybe it's a shit idea, but it's my idea and I want to do it.

>>181099483
Any loop with a condition will check it every iteration; the loop itself does not "remember" anything from previous iterations and so would have no way of keeping track of how many it has completed.

If you just want an explosion that can "possibly" make more, make a 25% chance to break the loop each iteration or something

after reading this a few times I understood how it was intended, but it's incredibly awkward, it sounds stilted

again this is valid, but it sounds really awkward, and instead of sounding stilted it sounds messy, you should just have it in-line and change it slightly
>two weeks
really minor thing, but it should have an apostrophe, the time is a part of the two weeks
something like this would flow a lot better:

Bunch of progress done today, though there are still some kinks to work out:

- First off, I made the rest of the pickups so now the player can replenish their health/ammo/etc.

- Added an enemy group with values for health, along with bullet damage so they can be killed. I also made a fancy popup that shows how much damage you dealt, which combines numbers for multiple sources of damage dealt at once (shotguns etc).

- Started implementing AI/pathfinding for the enemies. Right now they don't collide with each other, which I plan to fix, but it's turning out to be a hell of a headache so that'll probably take a while.

Reaper, but the DAW doesn't matter. Reaper happens to be my favourite for sound effects because I find it's interface as immediate and as unadorned as possible, it has really good inbuilt timestretching faculties, every item has a nice inbuilt automatic crossfade or fade in/out + it has tabbed projects at the top so if you're working on a bunch at once it's really no trouble to just quickly make tweaks. The most important bit of software here is probably getting your hands on Alchemy (which is not discontinued for windows, so piracy is the only option there, if you're a logic fella it's inbuilt into that now).

But then they get the stats fro ma MonsterStats class depending on the type passed?

Alright idea guys give me elevator pitch for a game. Here are some guidelines:

-K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid)
-3d graphics (gameplay can be 2d I guess)
-Has spaceships (not too important)
-Single player
-Has replayability

I was thinking something like kid Icarus Uprising where you're a mecha thing, several levels, fun story. Levels are in 2 parts. A 3d space shooty part and then a 3d area fighting thing with bosses.

Yeah it's basically the comic you posted. I have to turn up the volume to hear you, but then the sfx kills my ears so I turn it down again. I don't know how you could even stand it. I guess it's because you worked on sfx so much, you got used to the sfx or something.

I'll admit it's a bit much on headphones, but listening on speakers it's like bwaaaa

Would implied child rape (like pretty much right up to where he's about to pull her clothes off) pretty much get my game banned on steam? It's meant to be seen as a bad thing, not some japanese pedo shit, and meant to make a character seem as evil as possible, so I chose one of the most despicable things that makes most normal people hate the perp.

Lisa has done just fine and there's plenty of that in it.

>>181108842
Lots of PR, but if you are too much of a pussy to go with it, just make them kick a puppy.

>>181108842
>raping a child is evil
>raping a woman is bad
>raping a man is funny
i hope you dont actually think like this.

>>181108842
Sounds like a deviantart tier villain. Lazy.

>>181109071
Gogay-chan when are you going to make a horror/comedy man-rape spreadsheet?

>>181109071
>raping a little girl isn't evil

Good luck, little anon. We are all going to need it.
I am redoing a lot of stuff and need the luck also

>>181108012
I thought these threads were 98% idea guys.

Come on throw your one liners at me.

Got a lot of negative feedback on this guy earlier so I kept working on him.
Decreased the polycount a lot, remade the ears, tweaked the arms a little and started playing around with texturing.
Eventually he will turn into a cute girl.

fuck your spoiler.
Keep it as a creepy mascot.

The Occident is sleeping right now.


Little Lands (on itch) but instead of a small village island you build a spacestation.

The only possible outcome

>depressing. I just want cool space pirate portraits.
oh, shit, I also want cool space pirate portraits

>>181077538
This is where you start writing a portrait generator.

Thanks I'll look into it. I've got a team and 1 year to make a 3d engine and then the game so we could work and develop this 72 hour idea further.

>>181112141
>make a 3d engine
Maybe not the best idea if you are pressed for time.

>>181112256
We have to. It's a degree in game dev.

Don't worry we're a competent team of 4 master students.

We have 1 whole semester to make a functioning 3d engine and we're working during the summer so should be completely doable.

The thing is I want my team to have a game idea and direction to work towards. Last semester we had a 1 semester game and we just followed a concept and I'm not too happy with the end result, I feel it could've been better. So this time since we have a whole year I want us to have a goal we're aiming for.

>>181112453
Sounds like a sweet gig. Hope we'll get to see some progress.

Today I learned it's kind of difficult to balance the pace of a story, exposition, and interest.

Too much detail and it goes on for too long (my original intro was twice the length..) and gets boring. Especially early on when you don't know if you care about this game world yet and just want to play.

Too little detail and it starts to get more and more generic as you cut down, and less interesting as details are removed.

Hard to balance. I guess I need to give less up front and have more details about the world implied through events that happen over time, as opposed to giving it all in an intro.

Not really happy with this current implementation either. It cuts a lot of details I want and doesn't feel amazing. But I'm starting to waste a lot of time on something not important to gameplay. Still, I want to get the intro right.

From a creepy guy to a cute girl, truly 4chan's dream.
