I'm pretty sure that specific image was created in photoshop using the usual bloom/blur filters at a low res

Anyone have a good example on using a list/dictionary in Unity to set controls? If my person is walking around on foot, I want left and right to make them go left and right. However, if they're in a vehicle, I want right and left to turn/spin the vehicle.

Right now I just have checks in the update function to see if they're mounted or not, but that seems very inefficient.

I wouldn't know, I can't do it properly myself

the way I try to do it in Unity is that I set up a custom material and use that instead of the basic unlit sprite material, I use my own cartoony surface shader with the material, but unity's default standard shader is good enough for most purposes

the main trick to the whole thing is to use normal maps to make things reflect light in that slick 3D fashion rather than just appearing like lit flat pieces of paper

>>181904081
>>181904149
I've been telling people to do this for a couple years now. Dungeon of the Endless dudes did a Unite talk about how they did it. Probably not the only way.

>>181904635
The concept you are after is a state machine. It doesn't need to be implemented with a data structure (although if you are creative you might find a way to do it). You'd be better served by looking into the concept and seeing what you can find.
Also, depending on how many different control contexts you have, your checks might be enough control flow. Only go for the more complex control flow structures if you need the structure and flexibility (presumably because you have more than 2 contexts to track).

>>181905071
I don't have a state machine coded in because I've just been using animator as the state machine.

Currently everything is controlled by an InputHandler script that uses the command pattern. Maybe I can move the movement parts of the script onto the gameobject itself, but call them the same thing.

If what you have set up works for you, then there's no reason to change it. The only concern I'd have is if it's easy to back over it at a later date and see what's happening. As long as things are obvious you should be fine then.

When drawing / level designing: Vidya music ( gamemp3s.net ).

When programming: silence.

>>181906163
Throwing yourself into slightly uncomfortable situations. Creating in noisy places, creating at odd hours, creating in odd places, creating when listening to music, etc.

I think an RTS about a matriarchy society like feminista claim could be interesting.

Males are a waste of resources and they do nothing excepto breeding new kids.
Females are vital to society, they build shit, take care of ThE children.
Females need to get pregnant to make new units.
Females are your soldiers but theyre as well your farmers and hunters.
Your villagers can die of starvation as well.
ThE females can die hunting as well.
Females cant do shit while pregnant.

Many interesting ideas.

>>181907413
everyone's saying to start off the game bombastically but honestly I'd say take it slow

with my first couple of games I'd just drop the players straight into action before they even realized what's going on, that was a terrible strategy, not just because they had no idea what's going on all of a sudden. it also means that (if you suffer the chaos till that point) the inevitable midgame stereotype kicks in much sooner

it's honestly much better to start off slow and slowly pick up pace, introducing new gameplay mechanics and environments and stuff gradually. think about your favorite game, chances are that's exactly what it does

Turns out the level building (generating from heightmap) doesn't work correctly on all machines, gotta figure that out. The level _should_ have clear height differences (hills), but at least one guy had just an almost-smooth plain.

>>181912207
If what you're asking is "is there an engine that allows me to put in sprites and they move like in paper mario" then the answer is no.

However nearly all engines are capable of reproducing the Paper Mario style. The easiest options are GameMaker (mostly 2D), Unity and Godot. (Both 2D and 3D, if you want to go for the 2D sprites + 3D backgrounds thing.)

Personally I'd recommend either Unity or Godot. Differences between the two would be that Unity has a lot more documentation available (so more code to copy-paste off the internet) but Godot is completely free. And yeah you'll have to learn a bit of coding for both.

Another option is using Unreal Engine 4's blueprint editor with the Paper2D features if you don't want to learn a programming language, but that's a bit like attaching a plane engine to your car.

Thank you, that's some a nice start for my research then.

Maybe a stupid question and getting ahead of myself, but would any of those options be better for the output content, if I wasn't sure of making it a mobile or a pc game? Like I imagine it's different to program with touch controllers in mind, than to program for keyboard or controller input, or they all offer the same tools to code for either platform?

Played it and had lots of fun. Level generation worked perfectly on my first try but after that never worked again Just got smooth plain floor and flying trees.

Small suggestion: Make a recolor of player's sprite to use on enemies when they are attacking you from behind. Would be a really nice touch.

> Level generation worked perfectly on my first try but after that never worked again
Thanks, I'll look into it. Probably has something to do with the heightmap getting drawn on a surface...

>Also how does the shield work? if I keep the right mouse button pressed the shield flickers like crazy.
Holding the shield up consumes stamina (to prevent infinite blocking). So id the stamina falls to zero, blocking goes off, stamina starts regenerating, blocking goes on, stamina goes to zero... and so on. I'll fix it.

>Small suggestion: Make a recolor of player's sprite to use on enemies when they are attacking you from behind. Would be a really nice touch.
I'll probably add something like that at some point. It just needs a few more sprite for each enemy, but won't be that hard to code.

Thanks for trying it out :^)

we're actually in the end gonna look like this

2D artist is painting over the sprites to make them look drawn but the 3D models and animations are used as a base to keep consistent anatomy/shading/depth and allowing for more detailed dynamic shadows without having to draw every little bit, as well as saving time on constructing each frame

we're gonna be using binary brushes instead of the softer brushes in pic related to give it a slightly older vibe like JSRF or how lethal league did their sprites

JSRF, LL, and KoFXIII were big inspirations for me going into this and approaching the art style

> Over 9000 hours in OBS

If you want to bring the leg back, the body needs to drop its centre of gravity to remain on balance.

If you want to thrust forward the body needs to change stance.

Guard must always be up. Body must come forward.

Standing knees are usually not thrown without grabbing onto the opponent.

This is the time for scope. Don't bother drawing over the assets. Keep them as pure 3D models. Give them a 2 or 3 tone color job. Start the game with 5 characters max and then after everything is done add more 1 character at a time as patch content. A fighting game is already ridiculous amounts of work. Cut everything out that isn't necessary and maybe have something nice to play in a couple of years.

animation is easy though. 3d is, anyway.

also what fps are you animating at?
if you really wanted to cheat you could copy ggxrd and animate in stepped to skip the splining phase. that alone will cut out half the work needed per animation.

Refined combat/stamina mechanics. Running out of stamina doesn't prevent attacking or blocking, HOWEVER: attacking with 0 stamina deals only 1/2 damage (at the moment, might nerf it further), and blocking with 0 stamina stuns the player for a moment (allowing enemy attacks through)

Enemies get stunned if they are hit or their attack is blocked (blocking with 0 stamina doesn't stun enemies), and hitting a stunned enemy deals 2x damage.

Also added player HP regenration, the player can regenerate 1/2 of lost HP. Health pickups (implemented, not in the WEBM) increase regeneration instead of HP directly.
Hit effects ("particles") and damage counters are also in. Might not keep the damage numbers, but they're good for debugging at least.

To be honest, you don't have any h2h combat or martial arts experience. You are just copying moves from games that came before. People will notice and will call you out on it.

You obviously have development skills, but the scope of your project is way too huge.

If I wasn't involved in another project, I would probably be interested in teaming up with you, but I believe you have bitten off more than you can chew.

Why don't you work on something smaller? Something easier to do? Sidescroller with fighting elements or something.

Pretty much. Advantages are that you already have characters and just have to implement them, and you'd have a fanbase from the get-a-go.

Disadvantage is that nobody will actually "buy" the game, though you could probably start a patreon. I was gonna do it myself since I browse /ctt/ but real life just can't afford me the luxury of working on two different games.

>>181917827
>my workload is currently all of the models and animations for every move and each character
You're the artist so why are you complaining about making the models?

Just use placeholder shit animations like they did with Bayonetta until you find an animator.

>>181920335
Not that anon but you have to admit he is out of scope for the size and ability of his team. It's not even about being accurate with movesets at this point but the sheer amount of work anon will have to do alone by his own admission. Stepping back and taking a hard look at what is or isn't needed for a fully functioning game is the best thing they can do right now. They can add all the nice, extra stuff later.

GM:S may be appealing at first, but you WILL regret it
But by then, and I've heard it so many times, you will have invested so much into your process involving GM that switching will feel like starting over in gamedev and you are highly unlikely to take that step.

Be warned.

A lot of things really come down to: teacher, tools.
Find a good way to learn, use the best (>best, but whatever, try to judge from opinions of people you trust) tool and find learning resources that resonate with you

if you can't grind till you get good, your two solutions are getting art/finding an artist to work with or finding a meme artstyle you can easily work with while keeping everything reasonably aesthetic (basic color theory and shit might be unavoidable)
working with placeholders falls under first category

>>181922872
Then you're fucked.

Learn it, you can't avoid it, trust me. Even if you get deep into those drag-and-drop game making tools, you still need an understanding of coding.

>>181922953
I actually have minor understanding of programming and you're totally right. Knowing about loops and functions and things like that helps tremendously with drag and drop stuff.

I am just not really sure how to effectively increase my knowledge without a teacher.

I feel like I don't know nearly enough math.

If you really can't find anyone, I think your next best bet is to get a self-help book.

If you really lack the fundamentals, there's lots of manuals out there ("Teach yourself C++ in 21 days" or search for whatever programming language you plan to use) I'm sure you know where to look for a pdf download, maybe go through https://www.codecademy.com/ if you haven't already.

"Head First Design Patterns" is a book, it's the next step I recommend, or go through http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/index.html it's free

For something comprehensive, "Code Complete" is often regarded as a must have book for software engineers. It is not "overkill" to learn this for the purpose of gamedev, any programmer will get something out of this. But this should be the last one for you to check out, and only if you're really serious about focusing on the programming aspect of gamedev.

Dear anons, why arent you making 16x16 pixel-based game? Why are you jumping straight into 32x32 and 64x64 etc? The amount of time you have to put in a 1MA game for these is huge assuming you're polishing your tiles based on your dimensions.
This question is mainly adressed to 2D devs/maybedevs.

>>181927186
I am, but I hate the limited space. I have to stick with it because I realize that 32x32 is too much

If I wanto to create an effect like the one at 0:35 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VutcHmKuqmk

To do this would I create a new framebuffer, render to it, and then use it as a texture? Or is there a better way to do this?

>Hell Let Loose
really? that game looks crazy good, are you a part of the team or only contracted?

>>181923082
I tutored math for quite awhile during my undergrad. Cross my heart and hope to die, the biggest hurdle was the attitude of "I can't do it."

Friend, you can do it. One thing you have, is that you're on 4chan. That means you're able to seek things out where others might just flounder hopelessly. Well, you know how to search. Maybe you need a curriculum to follow, like "how do I even start?" Bro just start a /sci/ thread, you know mathfags are thirsty to help, and you know how to ignore the trolls.

But, for gamedev, here's a very rough map for you:
1. grind some arithmetic. It might feel like "ok I get it" but just do problems. The better you are at this, the less you'll get hung up on it later. Be able to fling around fractions like whatever. Fractions and powers should be the most advanced thing under your belt at this point. Also obviously basic addition and multiplication (as a side note, these really are the only operations you'll deal with: subtraction and division are special cases.)
2. be similarly able to fling around algebraic manipulation with variables. Understand that FOIL'ing is a special case of distribution. Understand that you're still *basically* dealing with arithmetic, but now with unknown quantities. Handling intervals, inequalities, some set theory and having the basic axioms of +,* for real numbers under your belt at this time. Also what's meant by finding roots, graphing. Some things like exponentials and logs might seem "ok I don't care about this for gamedev" but even if it's not directly relevant, though it will be surprisingly, now and then, you're still training your brain to think a certain way and solve problems.
3. trigonometry - move on once you get to weird identities and whatnot. You're presumably not an enginedev, so you really mostly care about sin/cos, and in a sense they're just one thing offset by phase. They track the vert/horiz position of a circle.

>>181928998
post your 8x8 (16x16) art sprites

>>181923082
>>181929786
4. linear algebra - this is a better step than calculus for gamedev. Actually I think it's generally better for everyone, but linalg has no particular reliance on calc and in fact is probably more useful to most people, especially given how important programming has become everywhere. I'd recommend Gil Strang on youtube/MIT OCW here.

That's pretty much it, so to recap, here's what you do:
grind arithmetic
understand algebra, especially how to apply the axioms (associativity, commutativity, distribution) for the two operations on the reals, understand that subtraction/division is essentially shorthand
grok sin/cos
do as much lin alg as you want, all of it is helpful

Yeah recently started with them. Honestly I'm not sure the difference between part of the team and contracted, but I'll be doing all of their first person animations. Was asked not to show any of the stuff I've done for them until they reveal gameplay. I think it looks sweet.

Only team I've ever regretted turning down is Blackwake, they wanted me to do all of their first person stuff but I was too busy at the time because of a shitty retail job; but that's in the dust now. Finally was able to quit a month or so ago and just make a living from animating.

It's best to get to gameplay as soon as possible.
If you don't believe me, compare the first two hours of Persona 4 to the first two hours of Persona 5. P5 has just as much dialogue but it's much easier to get into, because it gives you gameplay almost right away and uses that to keep you interested in what follows.

Some progress:
Added a super mode(working name) feature and a power points meter. The super mode can be activated at almost any time if you have enough power points and are above a certain power threshold, though entering super mode will drain a small amount of power as well.
While in super mode, power is constantly drained while fire rate and bullet speed increase drastically and will also increase damage once proper health point system for enemies is implemented. Power is earned by dealing or taking damage.
Also made a pause menu and tweaked some sprites and values. Next thing I want to make is a charge shot mechanic and after that I can actually work on enemies, their patterns and AI and then make an actual damn level.

add particles to your game and it will be less boring FACT

Is a gore system scope creep or vital for enjoyment?

>>181929786
>>181930008
Also a strong understanding of functions. Next to arithmetic manipulations, this is like the fundamental building block of mathematics. Maybe the most fundamental.

When you see a square root symbol over a bunch of shit, you can think of it as sqrt(stuff).
When you see a fraction, after understanding the notion of the multiplicative inverse, you can see that it's shorthand for a multiplication operation. Things like that, also improving your notion of domain/range, absolutely helps your programming. "What values is this taking?" "What values is this spitting out?"

You might see things like the reals partitioned into rationals and irrationals, and think "why the fuck do I care about this" well maybe you don't explicitly, but it's a great test case for training this sort of thinking.

Not so fast, Unity

Can depictions of poop affect the age rating of a game?

isn't he working on like 3 different games now?

RUDE. This faggot does not represent us. We're tolerant around here.

>>181932651
I'm not bothered anon, I just want to talk about vidya development

guys quick tip about developing with an FPS counter in the corner, use an FPS counter that retrieves your MINIMUM fps (of the last 60 or 30 frames)

I developed with average FPS in the corner for a few years and ended up with a game with shitloads of tiny FPS stutters everywhere, which I can now perfectly see with my minimum fps displayer.

>>181931837
Holy shit. I want to rip off you so bad. Also you answered how I can make a "dark souls" like game without good 3D.

Unfortunately I also missed that boat...

can you tell us anything about when they plan to show gameplay? the game looks really interesting

>>181924926
hi

>>181932150
>tfw can't compete

>>181932748
>average
I prefer a rolling average, since minimum will also give you unfair dips.

>>181932960
Hi. What're you working on dude?

>>181931972
I was thinking about shield bashing as well. Right now there is a similiar mechanic (not very refined atm): raising your shield (RMB) just before the enemy attacks stuns the enemy for a longer period than just holding your shield up all the time. Stunned enemies take double damage.

>>181932081
thanks mate. Earlier build DEMO is here (if you didn't catch it before):

>>181932150
thanks :^)

>>181932151
Oh yeah, I've been working on this for a week now, so I haven't implemented anything else yet. Thinking about how I'll deal with magic, but some sort of subweapons / different weapon kinds are planned.

>>181932379
>>181932408
Yes, kniggit is pure GM.

>>181932586
>>181932645
Yeah, the other games are on hold... indefinitely. Some are more like tech demos.

>>181932914
Not anything more than they've said publicly, but from what they've said publicly, gameplay doesn't seem too far off.

>>181932975
but minimum will give you the most important number. "unfair dips"? those unfair dips are important to know if they're going below 60

>>181927186
I've started with 1920x1080 pixel game and don't feel anything special about it.

>>181933075
What're the other games you've made? Or rather formerly working on

>>181927186
I'm doing 128x128 and it's fucking killing me. Characters won't be animated at all (on the drawn image level, that is).

What was I thinkingggg

That said the style is unique as fuck (although ugly).

If it's literally public domain then anyone can use it for anything.
If there's any kind of license, read the license. If you read the license and still aren't sure if you can use it, don't use it.

Sort yourself out

Clean your code

Refactor what you've been putting off.

>>181933402
post it

>>181933292
Oh boy. I'l see if I can compile something

Here's a few. Others are on my old machine.
And these are just ones I've posted here on AGDG, naturally I've got a ton of other prototypes/tech demos that never went anywhere.

Just woke up but I tried to redo one of the monster sprites I really didn't like. New's on the right.
Still don't care for it. I think it might just be the overall design that's gotta change.

>>181934214
what's that top right font?

>>181934214
I had a hunch it was you.
The fact my project was partially responsible for inspiring you on this latest thing is pretty flattering, you have a knack for making some slick as fuck gameplay

>>181934257
The redo looks significantly better though, RPG of some kind?

>>181913585
There's something wrong with your logic.

But if you need to disable something after a time I like using coroutines.

>>181934272
It's just a self-made pixel font (5x5 letters + outlines) I copied from the internet (literally just searching "pixel font" brings up similiar results). I've seen it (or something similar) used on a few agdg projects.

>>181934429
wait, which dev are you? I'm getting somewhat confused here

>>181934214
I miss the tank game

>RPG of some kind?
Yeah, dragon quest clone.
Pretty standard stuff. You travel the world with your blank slate party, who's classes you get to choose, solving the problems of the towns you come across until you get the tools necessary to confront the big bad.
Whatever classes make up your party affect how you interact with npcs and objects in the world.
If you have a Merchant you can make deals with npcs and trade items, mages can read spellbooks you find around the world, medics can heal npcs for rewards. Stuff like that.
There's also bigger, more specific interactions I have planned, some which can result in taking different paths throughout the story.

>>181924926
there's more black males in anything than women in something.

>>181934816
your party system sounds like a novel spin to the classic DQ formula, I look forward to seeing more progress in the future dude.

How learning linear algebra can make me a better programmer ? whats the motivation behind it? what is it used for ?

>>181934945
I don't know, but linear algebra is piss easy, so you can use it as a test: if you have any problems learning it, you're retarded and fucked for life.

>>181934945
I don't know shit about linear algebra or programming but it's that shit you use to calculate normals and angles between vectors and shit? Isn't that used in graphics, lighting calculations and crap. sound like its important for 3d stuff maybe physics idk

>>181935120
>I don't know, but linear algebra is piss easy
1-you dont know, but you think its easy.
>if you have any problems learning it, you're retarded and fucked for life.
2- if i have problems with it im a retard.

how can those guys do any game logic ?

Did an ingame mockup of the new currency system on the inventory screen (bottom left). I wanted something that felt more "fantasy-ish" that engaged the player instead of just 1 boring number like most RPG currency systems.

Gold Sovereigns are rare drops that are used for expensive NPC services and trading with players.

Silver Florins are a player currency that is created by quests in player cities to use the services in those cities.

Coppers (crowns, shillings, pennies and farthings) are all the same currency and they're dropped commonly from monsters for common NPC services like repairs and consumables. They can't be traded with other players and they're in tight supply, to provide a basic death/failure penalty. NPCs don't give change, so if you want to buy something that costs 1 farthing and you pay with a penny you waste 3 farthings.

Apologies for the blogpost, couldn't describe the system more succinctly.

>>181934714
>>181934801
So I guessed. yeah, your mod gives me a lot of ideas. Mind if I utilize a similiar sub-weapon system?

>>181934945
Like that guilty gear video GDC lecture thing they talked about normals a lot in their shader things. Oh yeah shaders I bet you use linear algebra in that to make your game look cool

>>181935412
Do it mang. 90% of my subweapons are just taken from super Ghouls n Ghosts, just tweaked to make them not shit, and to also make the dagger less OP

Do you have any tips for someone who might want to start learning animating in 3d? I've noticed animations being crappy is a problem with local gamedevs so it might be a good niche to get into. Also it seems like something I might enjoy since it's sort of an art but also a technical skill.

>>181935534
So yeah if you want to be a programmer that understands the graphics and rendering part you should probably learn linear algebra I think idk

>>181934945
Is used in 2D transformations by example.

just like trigonometry is fundamental for a touhou game, linear algebra is fundamental if you want to do raw opengl or make 2D effects or anything advanced graphically like Mode 07 for SNES.

why agdg is so lazy?

you wanna do the most complex art form ever created and yet complain about learning X or Y.

>>181935647
Because everything is too hard
