Game: Nox Striga
Dev: Mez
Tools: Unity, Blender, Paint.Net, Gimp
Web: mezdritch (twitter/tumblr)
Progress:
+ New Rain Temple area started.
+ Some basic AI for patrolling/detecting/stopping the player and forcing an encounter.
+ About the encounters: Worked on the card library and manipulation, did develop a quick mode with very basic cards to test this. Its using the library properly, however it will soon be changed to be more unique and interesting (so that it can coexist with the main card matches).
+ New splash screens for each area.
+ New models & textures.
+ A lot of preparation for the actual cards (images/stats/abilities, all that stuff).

So what do you think? Where are my 1000 dollars from the previous thread? Jokes aside, feedback please.

The lady thought of as a witch is sent into a labyrinth-like cave by her fellow citizens. According to a legend, only the purest of the souls are able to find a way out of it. You're some creature that lurks there and when you see her you fall in love and try to do everything in your power to get her out of there alive. You're too ugly to go outside of the shadows, so she must not see you. As she is walking around and trying to find her way out, you're setting up clues and hints for her to follow, like scribblings on walls, ropes with only one end visible and torches signalizing where she should go. All sorts of monsters live in that cave too, so you have to be constantly in front of her, lure the monsters away as she passes by them, solve puzzles to open hidden doors or disable traps, and just constanly make sure she doesn't do something stupid like pressing a button which will trigger huge axes from the walls that will cut her in half, or make a noise which will trigger nearby enemies. Once she escapes, you'll shed a tear and know you did something good, even though she will never know who her guardian and saviour really was. 3D Topdown or third person, not sure.

>character can walk out of the screen

gameplay is bad and isn't fun, if you need to click to target and pick shit up, you should click to attack too, also those shadows aren't great when the character's shadow is above a building , also the character going black/shaded when under a building even if only feet should be affected.
well, at least your ui is good and objectives are clear, even with minimalistic design you can't get lost.

most CRPGs have an autoattack and the feedback i got from the last demo day was that there was too much clicking

if you go to the next room you will need to left click to set target
>also the character going black/shaded when under a building even if only feet should be affected.
it's a 3D space so if their feet are in shadow then their whole body should be

>3D Topdown or third person, not sure.
Eh, I would think 2d side-scroller is better, it's easier to see traps if the game is laid out that way especially since you are always running out of time running after her, this being one giant escort mission

D&D based games do, but that's because you're usually controlling a group of several characters and have multiple active abilities per character to keep track of.
If you only have one character, it should play like Diablo II.

>Lemmings
Still not very similar.

This would be more like a puzzle game. Also, how would you create a maze in 2D? It is very limiting.

Btw, you're walking in front of her and fixing the surrounding.

it's hard to see things around the corner in a 3d game, that's why. with 2d, you are afforded vision of the whole map ahead of you, and you can plan things out in your head way ahead of time

but if you really want it in 3d then sure, I just imagine it'll be a lot more frustrating that way

Ah, I forgot to say that you are far away, in front of her. She is walking at a steady pace and you can scout around as far as you want and search for potential traps and ways to disable them etc. I guess it's a bit hard to explain it with words.

given the perspective if his feet are in shadow then he's behind the building wall and thus should be in shadow, because you usually stand straight up

>>181523169
then it'd be nice to have a key/button that you can quickly press to have the camera center on her (as long as your vision of her isn't obstructed).

I can think of this game being same as much of how Enslaved Odyssey to the West plays, if you need some reference.

Heroes that rely on auto attacks usually need to kite or stutterstep or otherwise reposition constantly.

I haven't played your demo yet, so maybe the other anon is full of shit, but he made it sound like you just left click and wait your enemy to die to autos. If that's the case then just make it more interactive.

The main character of my sim-rpg type game is a grill.
Would it be weird/uncomfortable to add a marriage or dating portion of the game, mainly uncomfortable for guys playing the game? Should I just go ahead and let you choose between playing as a guy or a girl if I decide to go through with a marriage system like Harvest Moon games?
I really like the design of the main character and like the idea of her being the mascot of my game, but might have to improvise if I include this kind of system.

No gameplay changes except for the jump making rolls from the ground easier to do, I'll leave those for a future demo.

>too much hipster crap in game festivals these days
Tell me about it, I used to be good friends with the previous organizers of the IGR so I got in with way less in 2013 and just spent the whole time sitting in the center coding and showing passers by what my new code was changing. Then Politics happened and the current crew took over just hasn't been the same since.

That's not a bad idea, and actually dances around my main concern: that flying segments would alienate the people there for a cool, relaxed space adventure. Otherwise there's already bar tending and some other little things, minigames to encourage socializing with other characters.

Do you think human boobs are unique to humans? They're just an adaptation like boobs in general. All apes stand nearly upright and give birth to small litters so they all have pairs of breasts. It stands to reason that any specific that evolves to be a hairless, upright app would evolve similar breasts to humans.

School Puzzle Game

Love the fact you managed to make a 2d puzzle game where going into 3d is a necessity and adds a bit extra dialogue.

Art style is basic but fine, character models in game could use a little more detail, but the art during dialogue is pretty good, especially because you went through the effort of drawing different emotions for both characters.

Puzzle had me at it for a good 25 minutes, especially the book part. I like that the riddle doesn't tell the complete 100% truth.
The dry writing style caught me off guard a made me laugh out loud a couple of times (that's a compliment).

You clearly seem to know what you're doing, and I only want to see more of it. Which engine are you using, and how difficult is it to alternate between 2d and 3d?

Restricted-RPS where AGDG is canon in universe.

Is there other options to produce sfx besides generators and live recording?
I suddenly came to the problem that I need a lot of sound effects that should be sounding artifical enough(menus/item uses etc) so live recording of stuff is not an option and sound generator I tried so far(sfxr and bfxr) are not producing sounds of quality I need(8bit chirps don't quite fit into my game).
What do?

That reminds me there's this theory that, to colonize other planets, instead of terraforming them to conform to human life, we should rather genetically engineer new sub-species that adapts to their environments.

Imagine trying to terraform a planet the size of Jupiter, it's not just a question of technology, but a question of resources and logistics. Genetically engineering a some babies who would then copulate to fill the whole planet would be more feasible.

Yeah, that's the basic premise of the Al'Makhtar.

In the lore, the Sol system became too unstable politically and various factions sent out colony ships. 20000 years later these colony ships arrive in the Cygnus sector a little worse for wear.

The Middle Eastern Union colony ships never arrived at their destination and had to crash land on Al'Jahim, which didn't support life well (desert planet) and which the MEU weren't prepared to terraform with the stuff they brought.

So, MEU colonist society slowly started to die out until a group of women decided they aren't taking no more shit from no man, genetically engineered an army and genocided what was left of the colonists - cleaning the slate.

Now all that is left are these genetically engineered queens (Malika) who pass on their memory through genetics that rule over hives (Khalia) and make as many warriors or workers as they need.


SJWs and feminists are going to eat this shit up. Middle Eastern women rising up, killing all the men and creating their own utopia on Al'Jahim (Hell).

>>181528943
for what you want you're going to start with either generated or live (nothing else exists) and in either case they need to be heavily modified to give them a subtler feel.
this typically involves messing around mostly with reverb/delay effects and super selective editing to find a perfect part of the sound to make a satisfying yet hopefully not annoying menu sound.

>we should rather genetically engineer new sub-species that adapts to their environments.
In my opinion, this is wrong.

Only planets for which we haven't figured out a way to circumvent natural environment are planets which have heavier gravity than earth on the surface. However, such planets would not really be worth to colonize anyways due to their gravity in the first place. How so? Because it is hard enough to get onto the orbit of Earth - it would be even harder on a heavy gravity world.

Earth has one redeeming side - a shitload of people and infrastructure is on it already, which justifies going down into the well. Random heavy gravity worlds don't.

Seasons Past

The red-robed mystery character has been done to death, stop being a lazy cunt and design something on your own.
Preferably something which actually animates when walking. It currently looks like a red drilling vibrator.

Combat is weak. Its point and click with a shitty hit-box and an alarm set for waaaaaaay too long.
I could rip on your stats system, that is, if it actually worked. Selling things while its on the ground and you're surrounded by 30 enemies is stupid. The environmental design is pretty decent though.

Please be more original next time. Flesh out your core gameplay (COMBAT) before touching things like story, economy and stats.

Good luck.

>>181531516
in that case it's flying, either you jump and then press again to fly, either you press once for a given time and it does the jump and engages flight.
I'll most likely recycle that later, got an idea for shooting.

Maybe just change it from selling items to absorbing souls or energy from relics or something. Make stat increases a hotkey thing as opposed to a menu thing.No reason to stop the action.

>>181532856

I think it was an animation tutorial for cloth or something.

>>181532723
They are harder to reference (no skimming or ctrl+f), they take longer to complete, you need to continuously pause, play, pause, play if following along. If the speaker has an annoying voice it's distracting. If the speaker stutters, it's distracting. If the speaker has no script, they ramble. No hyperlinking for more information. No copy and pasting for researching. Need to wait for the video to buffer if on slow internet. For programming videos, most information is shown in the video so if you have slow internet and need to watch on a lower quality, it's unreadable. They take 10x longer to finish than just reading a guide.

>>181532463
You don't want to do that if you want consistency. People are retarded and you will have dick thumbnails in no time. I'd say the best way is to render off-screen at a specific angle and use that as a thumbnail.

What are people's thoughts on rotoscoping for animation?

>>181532723

>whats wrong with vids?
videos are not very apparently structured.

text tutorials have a structure.

you cannot escape ramblings since you can never know when they stop. In text if you don't want to listen to a rambling anymore, you take another paragraph, since each paragraphs usually contains a single point. If you think you have assimilated whatever the chapter offers, then you can just scroll down and start reading at the next big font text(chapter heading).

In text, the writer can also bold certain words and also put them in italics. Sometimes certain text is put into separate text boxes. That way the writer can tell you what is essential to know and what is reccommended to know and what is just a rambling.

Thanks to these features in text, you can tailor you experience by yourself. Don't know anything, read everything. Know most of the things, just want to get quickly to full understanding - just read the bolded things and things that have been put into fancy boxes. What to just get the code implementation? Look for the code window.

>watching a video
Put the vid on x2 speed in hopes that the tutorial maker eventually stops rambling.

>>181533678
It's fine. I think the result is more important than the technique involved.

Only autists care about real life infra-structure in video games. You got a couple of houses put together in Skyrim and they call it a "city" yet it's still one of the most sold games.

>what does a medieval fantasy village need
lots and lots of farms

the main function of a village was to produce food. it had no other function.

currently it looks like a modern village.

there should be farmlands all around the buildings

Here's the idea i'm working on, i'm taking the combat aspect of FTL, but you'll play the game as the commander of the ship, the main screen has a blueprint styled map of your ship with indicators for the crew, you have a list of your crew member, you control them be selecting them and selecting what action they will do, then you issue the orders, all communications happen this way, even in combat, you see a blueprint map of the enemy with various data.
If you have the monitoring system active, you can view each room of your ship using cameras (in an isometric view), this way you can see your units and intruders, the crew is controlled by AI, which means you give it orders and it will try to execute them doing its best (like dwarf fortress).
I tried to focus on the command center feel, which means you have screens and cameras, you communicate orders instead of directly selecting units (as in FTL), i feel this would work great in 3d (when you visualize rooms) i will make it in the good ol' isometric 2d.
Any feed back or thought on this?
I'm trying to find a good comfy background for the blueprint maps without success so far.

The "gap" is excessive. That sticks out like a sore thumb compared to anything else. It's pretty decent overall but use references for anatomy.

Generally if you're doing character design you're not drawing them in full scenes at odd angles with the legs cropped off. Try drawing side-on.

Obviously the style you're using is a bit limiting. If that's the style you plan on using in your game then make sure you can emphasize certain identifying details to make people distinguishable and be careful not to draw details too finely as it can quickly become busy.

SJWs and feminists don't really play games buddy, sorry.

You'd sooner find an audience consisting of men wanting strong women to dominate them, than an audience of women willing to buy a game for its "strong and independent women" race.

Let's put it this way, it's a popular design this year.

Okay, I've got it.
The main character is a detective.
So normal mode will be called "Detective Mode" and easy mode will be called "Journalist Mode."
"Hardboiled Mode" will be both unlockable and masochistic.

Now I just need to figure out how to animate shit.

>The 3 characters concept is interesting but the game feels buggy at the moment. The shield character was moving without me pressing any keys and the game crashed in less than 30 seconds. Iron out your bugs. Also the control scheme feels kinda cramped. Is there supposed to be 3 people on the same keyboard or you control all 3 characters by yourself?
the idea was to have 4 players on joysticks, but we are still working this out, the physics are making the knockback move the characters by themselfs, it is on the fix list, thanks for the review.

>>181537913
she's not 100% black

>>181537804
is it because of the hip width, leg thickness or just shading? actually now I see that her left leg is a bit odd looking

It's really the first character i tried to draw and the "style" is just determined by the lack of proper tools. and I've picked a retarded resolution also

>>181539783
I literally couldn't give less of a shit because these threads aren't exactly filled with people who actually finish games and if for some magical reason someone might release something, I've got proof that I've made the assets first.

there was always something to be done. The fact that you can't grow grops in winter doesn't mean that work stops with harvest. Winter is when you make your firewood and doing firewood with medieval tech is hard as fuck. It would take whole winter and some days from summer.

Kek, nope.
>>181539635
T b h, for some of them that's true, I'm brainstorming for a few weeks and honestly I'm surprised how slow I am, I guess I chose a tricky concept and have to figure out how to make everything fit with some story. In theory, I could have made something in a day and be done with it, but I like to make myself suffer I guess.

Because I'm actually trying to design something that could actually be possible to develop by myself one day, so it's a bit harder than coming up with some AAA blockbuster where everything is possible. I even wanted to make some prototype, but I got into UE4 too late for that now.

>>181540286
You've really riled yourself up with your own hypothetical. But just saying, if they're making millions I think it'd be pretty easy to find the game and proof some shit

Basically this >>181536048
Building procedural generation is about iteration but it's also figuring out and establishing limits and rules that work to achieve the end result you want.

It is still very much level design, just from a different approach. You don't design the layout but you design the overall concepts of the levels you want to create. There's a lot of great articles and presentations on the topic but recently I found the GDC video of the dude who made Eldritch quite interesting.

>tfw you will never make an anime game

>>181540634
Like that anon said, don't worry. And unless they want a full design document, don't go crazy with making one. Design plans change over development, that is the natural way

I was in a game design class where it was painfully clear that not only did my classmates not give a single shit, most of them didn't have a creative bone or any willpower to pursue a vision. Not to mention my teacher once telling me my game needed more violence and death to be engaging

>trying to learn pixel art by drawing things at 32x32

This is not enough pixels for shit to look right.


Read: I am SHIT at art.

okay i admit it, i can't come up with my own ideas

>>181540868
Oh yeah, I need to make a GDD, although 7-10 pages should be sufficient. Eh, those game design classes. I'm taking this as an elective, pretty much a waste of time.

>>181533678
extra effort for inferior results

pixel art is really easy to animate so rotoscoping makes even less sense to do

>>181540631
Yeah, but at least post a changelog

>>181541435
Starting at 32x32 or even 24x24 is really the only way

The biggest hurdle in pixel art is realizing that you're not trying to draw things as they are, but rather placing pixels in ways that imply more than they show. It's why large clusters of flat color can imply texture based only on their shape
