Did I ever tell you how much I suck at animating?
Oh wait, I don't need to tell you. Just look at this shit.

I pick this one.

>>181453040
The animation is good enough for the quality of the model. But you know that and just fishing, so good job ya got me.

It has peg limbs. What kind animation where you expecting it to have?

How do you motivate yourselfs to get to work?

I've had all these ideas but I don't know how to get started when it comes to actually developing the game.

>>181453389
I can never get the pace of the animations right, you know, the contrast between slow motions and fast ones.

>>181453040
That is really fucking nice man. What are you working on?

>>181453570
I post what I am going to today in the thread then I proceed to do it

>>181453570

Am I an amateur game developer now? Also, what do you look for in a tactics game? Interesting characters or something more like X-com where the characters don't really matter?

>trying to into art
haha any of you lads got some spare rope and a chair? unrelated to the art issue, of course

>>181453993
Interesting characters. Fire Emblem is shit now, and I only play it for the characters anyways. Get a good enough artist and fun characters and i'll play it.

>>181453993
The characters are merely a medium for me to sperg about tactics and numbers. They will be defined by their successes and failures in battle.

>>181454306
Happy little clouds

>>181453993
there needs to be more than one way to handle any problem
don't ever force the player to learn a specific thing outside the basics, always give them a choice
This is something I learned too late

I use unity and my game doesn't run poorly. There , now can we end this argument?

There is 0 chance that your game would be an MMO
maybe it would a persistent online RPG but that's a different target that you have to keep in mind

Generator now scales such that all islands should look fairly similar independent of size. That is, bigger islands don't end up looking like archipelagos. The generator was tuned for 1000x1000 maps, like the ones I was posting yesterday, though this map is 3000x3000 and looks pretty good for using pretty much the exact same values.

>>181456731
it's not impossible, but consider the following:

>nobody has ever 1MA'd an MMORPG
>multiplayer indie games tend to fail even if they're good because they can't attract enough players and enter a death spiral

>>181457539
just make it non turn based bro, what was the problem?

what do you guys think about programming something very inefficiently but it works fine anyway?

Still not visible progress with the stuff im putting in.

Just adding all of the different stages of the turn.
Move / confirm move / end turn. etc.

Added a small menu.

>>181457562
Everything is better with a tailored UDP solution unless you are literally reimplementing TCP in the process.

>>181457669
He's not a nodev

>>181457690
t. webdev retard.

>>181457576
Thanks! That's what I was going for I think, the smaller islands had sorta the same feel but not enough space to make the full Mediterranean look.

Eventually I'm going to be able to tag a map with some shit like "Chaotic" and "Mountainous" and have it generate accordingly. In that example, there'd probably be a lot more curves / jags, and a boost to every tile's height for example.

>>181457779

You can't refactor spaghetti, that's why it's called spaghetti. You should write good procedural code and refactor (I prefer "compress") to reduce duplication only.

>>181458242
Please keep furshite out of /agdg/.

>>181458921
You can refactor spaghetti, why wouldn't you be able to? Its just harder than non spaghetti. Write spaghetti if you want, just know you'll pay for it down the road.

>>181458921
Unfortunately you won't know how to avoid spaghetti until you make a mess. That's how life works.

>>181458921
I think there's two kind of spaghetti.
The regular kind, hard to make out the individual pasta but still doable.
And the cheesy spaghetti, where cheese melted all over and it just forms indissociable clumps

Oh christ I've inspired someone. Tell me more about your game dude. Also you might want to make the the flashing end sooner.

>>181458921
refactoring is the process of untangling spaghetti code itself. if you didn't have any spaghetti code (code is clean), there's nothing to refactor.

>>181459112
Refactoring spaghetti involves untangling it into good procedural code.

>>181459520
I wouldn't call decent code with duplication spaghetti code. It has the potential to be, sure, but it's more like prototypal code.

Soon. Actually I didn't consider it, because running will make noise so the wolves will hear you and come get you. So I though that would be enough reason not to abuse it.
Oh and the wolves will move faster hen chasing you, for now I'm only keeping them slow while testing stuff.

You mean a roguelite? RoR.
There's also Barony which lacks the persistent progression aspect but is procedural and perma death and has multiplayer. Oh and Necropolis.

I don't think a traditional roguelike would work well in multiplayer since everyone would have to input their move before the game could advance a turn.

What's a good way to structure a tile-based game? I want objects to be as self-contained as possible and avoid a central controller but how much information should the tile array/dictionary contain? I want levels to be easily saved and loaded too with the correct state of the game.

>>181463408
As long as you change at least one pixel then it's no longer copyright infringement

If that code is something you simply need to get functional and don't have to go back to or use elsewhere then it's fine to write a mess.

If writing it properly would save you countless man hours because you have to use it in the future then do it proper. But also try not to overestimate things and as a result overengineer your code.

Now the object that's blocking the vision itself can still be seen, vision only begins getting blocked behind them. Decided bushes won't actually block light, just testing on them for now, there'll be a bigger sprite that will get that functionality instead.

Also working on a circular 'light' area around vision blockers, should look pretty good when done but each one adds a few dozen triangles to the field of view drawing function.

>>181463643
Different types of tiles should be saved somewhere and your map should be a collection of references to what tile is in what coord. That way your maps can basically be arrays of ints and really easy to save and load.

Best way to do hex coordinates is to use the x + y + z = 0 plane. Every "one hex move" is +1 in one axis and -1 in the other (so you get six directions).

Finally found time to work on this again. Made some progress, but I still can't design a decent GUI and I still suck at art. Major hurdle is creating content.
* Fixed the shading issues so they work again
* Partially implemented network play. Currently limited to AI vs AI.
* Designed and implemented some necessary single player menus like party management
* Equipment is now working and has limits based on skills
* Story system mostly working for single player

Interesting characters are important to me, but I think it really depends on the structure of the story. X-Com's story doesn't revolve around any characters in your squad, so they can be generic.

>>181466290
OOP is usually not the right fit. You will realize this when you start writing code first instead of just wasting time on empty abstractions.

>>181466290
It doesn't matter as long as your game is good and plays smoothly.

All I did was implement some half-finished menus since last demo day and I really doubt I can finish the thing I wanted to re-add within the remaining time for submissions.

>Most developers don't care about machine code and don't need to care about machine code.
That is completely irrelevant because you are alluding to a very successful form of abstraction.

>>181467504
What are you memeing about? OOP?

>>181467073
When you talk about a house, do you describe each individual wooden plank, doors, windows and everything else?

No, you'd usually just refer to it as the "house", because you don't always need to describe things in detail. That's what abstraction does.

>>181467641
I'm at 12/20 for this demo day now and there's no game I hated yet.

Even smaller games and games with programmer art have their charms, anon.

>>181467731
Yes, OOP and machine code are both successful forms of abstraction.
OOP is more abstracted though, and most people are more comfortable working in it and haven't got any reason to go down to a lower level.

>>181467731
Maybe successful is the wrong word. OOP has been very successful at propagating itself in the industry as a panacea despite being rarely actually the best tool. Abstracting over machine code is obviously good for most situations because you want to port to different processors and computers are better at micro optimization than humans are.

>>181467834
That is an effective abstraction. Why are you spinning criticism of OOP into hate for all abstraction?

>>181468032
OOP isn't high level by any stretch of the imagination. You can do OOP with assembly subroutines and untyped memory..

but 62 views, which also count now that I have a web version It's the worst version, though

>>181468372
Yes, abstractions have no inherent value. Abstractions that are being used can be valuable. To use the house analogy, "house" as just a series of letters or a vocalization with no meaning is worthless. Just like interfaces and classes are useless without actual code. You don't say that you want to make up a new word and then assign some meaning to it, you look at a concept that takes too many words to explain now and make a new word for it.

If you're using OOP to organize code that has already been written to reduce duplication then that is fine. But I find that OOP is rarely the right tool for the job.

>>181467456
So you're saying people who played the first demo didn't play the second because they wanted to wait until a later demo and that was your reason for not giving them a third?

>>181467641
Of course I do, anonymous nonspecific poster. Vagueness betrays the fear of the devil in you.

>>181468428
Mine's up to 14 views, 11 downloads, which is about a third of what it had at this point in DD14.

>>181468696
>and that was your reason for not giving them a third?

No the reason there is no third is because I am making sweeping changes to the game so that there IS something worth checking out when I release a third. The sweeping change is in direct response to how the second was received (or ignored if you like). I see it as a good thing. In the pursuit of making something more meaningful I am hoping to make it more fun. I feel I am on the right path and hope to have some progress to post soon but the changes overall will take a while.

tl;dr there is no DD15 build because the game is torn apart atm in an attempt to make an even better DD16 presentation

Dev here, much appreciated, I'll rewatch this with more thought tomorrow when I'm not tired out of my mind.

One thing I noticed was that you mistook the shield "refund" (it returns some special charge for each orb that didn't hit anything) as recharging special meter. There's currently no auto regen, you gain charges by killing enemies. Typically that's 3-4 enemies for one charge, you can see how much each enemy is worth from the tiny magic sparkles they leave when killed. Each full charge is 10 points.

Near the end with the plant on the ledge, I put the spring there so you can launch rocks at the plant you can use them to kill the snake in the tree after the first checkpoint too, but I should've made it more apparent that that was actually an option.

>>181469243
Not sure what you want, anon. I could show you my chicken scratch scribbles that I make for myself as part of my 'design' references but I am not sure anyone would even want to see that. More specifically I am changing all of the main attacks in some way (some more than others) and completely changing how defensive and offensive abilities work. If I am vague right now it is because there would be nothing but backend code to show.

Making it slower to see it more would completely negate the faster speed, which is the only reason you'd fan it over shooting it double action.

It's kind of working as intended, as it's for dropping down platforms and I never bothered to check if the player is actually standing on a platform like that. Not sure why people are only reporting it now since that's the way it has been since DD10 though, but since people find it annoying I'll add a check for that. I'll probably push an update later where I fix a couple of other issues as well, but I don't have a convenient cross-compilation setup for windows builds set up so that'll be a while from now.

Oh, one more thing about the video, there is analog support in the game but you can currently only map one input per action and the default is dpad. You can change the controller mappings in the settings if you wish.

Maybe it's just because it's an early demo and I'm just being retarded, in that case, don't mind. Your scrollover texts were good at explaining stuff. THE RETARDED THEORY IS REALLY HOLDING UP DAMMIT

I would be pretty cool that some vision got through the bushes, like seeing through the branches. I guess you could accomplish this easly by making the vision blockers smaller points distributed randomly inside the bush.

Unless the vision blockers have to be tile sized, then it's not worth the effort
