I don't get it

It's updating table 1 with a new number
table 3 is reporting correctly the first time

but after I give table1 a new number it isn't updating for table 3, what gives?

Not sure you can even do like nested tables in lua, or if it'll even help me, just messing around.

Any reason why it's not updating?

>>182012961
Ah, well shit, trying to do nested tables so I can have it automatically place like 5 tables with permanent character info.

That way I don't have to write this out for 5 characters, though finding and replacing a number is easy enough I guess.

Each stat is it's own table so I can reference it with a player number, such as number 1 is character 1, and all it's stats are TableWithStat[1]

>You could have/ should have a function doing that for you.
the bit
while TV11 < 16 do
TV11 = TV11 + 1
TV22 = E1deck1[TV11]
E1deckname1[TV11] = cards2[TV22]
end

Is automatically placing names into places, but that's just filling one table with another table's info related to what cards need to have what name.

Character 1 has the stats
P1stats1 = {1000,100,100,101,0,0}
HP, STR, ect
Which is permanent, so the stat is moved into the battle variables which are independent to allow me to easily target one characters stats when needed

So if player 3 targets enemy 2 with health damage and a slow, it's going to target EnemyHP1[2] and EnemySP1[2].


Probably explaining this very poorly, but I'm not a programmer.

we designed a character and we've got a bunch of colors for her outlined (most references, some not) and we wanted to give you fellas the resources to give us some ideas for palettes for when the time comes to give each character more than one palette

here's the PSD and the concept for the character in question

>>182014814
For each of the 5 characters on each side.

Character 1 is slot 1, 2 is 2 and so on. Figured it would make targeting things with things easier. Obviously I can long form fill them in, but there's probably a much shorter way to get all of character 1's stats into his slot

Like use them?

during combat, but I need to rework a lot of that because I stupidly started building for only one character

So when you target slot 1 that affects character 1 and so on.

A special attack is going to utilize it's card stats, the player's stat modifier, any additional modifiers.

And when hit you're using your defensive stats and any other bonus's.

I added the standard melee attack function. I still need to fix the effect a bit as well make an aerial version, but it works.
The attack functions similarly to Castlevania's melee attacks, but I plan to make variations of it as you progress.
The attacks can be canceled into rolls and landing from the air.

Nobody buys, for a moment, that you have any moral ground here googs. You're literally the guy who laughs at the notion of making good games in favour of exploiting the system at every opportunity presented. You are literally the spitting image of a cancerous video game executive, except you're not even competent at that, you merely like to pretend that you are some financial guru, because it's a more nebulous area that doesn't require you to actually be good at making video games. You can just pretend that making terrible video games is all part of the plan to get a lot of money: which you dont at all.

Seriously look at yourself.

You do no real work, make no real money, leech off of your family for a living and yet somehow laugh at people with real jobs.
You're too spineless for hard work, too shameless to change and too narcissistic to admit it.
You will adamantly cling to your pretensions of business insight, yet remain penniless for the rest of your life and eventually land on the streets, where those with your attitude belong.
Wagecucks will pass by in their cars, with their families, doing something with their lives and I hope in that moment, you look back and feel genuine, actual regret.

>>182026240


Don't listen to these faggots. Read the OP choose an engine and start a fuckin youtube tutorial.

Even you're a "build my own engine cuz I wanna be notch" faggot, a pre-built engine will teach you the concepts you will need to be a good dev, so if you ever sit down with that book(you won't), you will at least be able to identify the parts are actually useful to gameDev.

Just came up with this.

My game is a Tactical Action RPG where the player controls a fleet of ships.

When the game starts out its quite simple, a single ship with up to 15 passive and active abilities, but as the player collects other ships to join his fleet each ship has the possibility of another 9 abilities, making a grand total of 105 abilities to manage in combat.

One thing the player can do is set the abilities to auto-fire/auto-use, but this can be inefficient with some builds as abilities use energy.

So, I came up with the 'trigger' system.

Trigger system are small items that can be permanently affixed to other items that change their AI behaviour. For example, a turret with the 'fire over x energy' trigger will only fire when a certain amount of energy is available.

This also means that triggers can be stacked to create increasingly complex behaviour in autonomous abilities or items, which adds an extra dimension to equipping ships and customising a fleet.

i can't into vectors, basically, i want to make a vector to have a certain length based on x component of it, i mean i want a vector with an "x = 250" no matter which direction it points to, the reason is i'd like to keep the same horizontal speed of my character even when walking on slopes, plz whelp!

>>182033039
>no matter which direction it points to
changing x without y would change direction

>>182033039
Get vector normal from the current direction, vnorm = direction.normal
Get multiplier by dividing, xmult = 250 / vnorm.x
Multiply vnorm by xmult, vresult = vnorm * xmul

and you will always have vnorm.x = 250 no matter what.

Just the way it should be. Symmetry is bland, boring and the easy way out when it comes to designing content.

Nothing irks me more in singleplayer games than developers making 4 schools of elemental magic, then just giving every school the exact same spell with the exact same damage except of a different type. i.e. fireblast, earthblast, iceblast, shockblast, etc.
Occasionally they'll do shit like giving iceblast a 20% slow, fireblast a 20% DoT effect and shockblast a 20% stun chance, which is just barely any better.

Maann I can't agree with you more. I hope this is a common opinion because this sort of bland "choices" design is just killing me in modern games.

>>182032146
Cute as fuck.

>>182034006

I agree with this.

It defeats the purpose of different schools of magic.

The best system is the RPS balancing system, fireball explodes and sets things on fire, ice shard penetrates objects and freezes them, electric bolt jumps to multiple enemies.

They are still all projectiles, but its not an fireball, iceball or electricball.

Anyone here with a unity/steam game, able to show me how to unlock an achievement?

Im reading the docs but its unnecessarily complicated for what i wanna do. All i wanna do is unlock an achievement.

Ive got the SteamManager script in my unity project already. Thanks

Are you familiar with how you use the steam api? The asynchronous stuff, calling functions and waiting for the response?

>>182036242
not really. i assumed it would just be:

check steam is on
unlock achievement

as far as code goes. just lookin into it now..

What do you recommend? Should i try unity and try to make a platformer first? I want to start learning how to do this.

If there's anything i'm missing i'd appreciate the insight.

>>182036271
Calls like that aren't 'instant', you need to call the API thing you want and bind another function to the result. This then gets called when Steam has an answer for you.

I've only done it with UE4 but I assume the set up is the same.

Are you under a time requirement once you make the steam page for your game? I thought you had to submit within 2 weeks or whatever. But I mighta ready it wrong and you can choose to go live whenever

I was bummed you didn't put out a demo for demo day. Your progress lately has been looking really slick, even if everything is still in kind of a broken state gameplay wise (that's a really complex genre to try to tackle).

underwater adventure game.
i feel the underwater theme is underdeveloped and rarely used, and all games that uses it get a decent fanbase, even that shitty 2d pixel submarine "exploration" game got a lot of exposure, space theme is pretty much dead but underwater is always fresh, how will you use it in your game?

This is a dangerous way to think, because 'best' is subjective.

When I entered university the 'best' jobs were in Information Technology. So, I did an Information Technology degree, graduated, and discovered that there was a glut of IT graduates. What was best in the moment, wasn't the best 4 years down the line.

If you think about Eugenics, letting only the 'best' males breed will create an evolutionary dead end. A society with only aggressive physical males will result in technological regression, because all the autistic nerdy guys never got a chance to breed.

Playing with nature is a dangerous game. Many species, unconsciously, followed a 'best for now' methodology and ended up extinct. Look at Australia for instance, marsupials never evolved because there was not environmental pressure and are now getting wrecked by cats, which are arguably the peak of mammalian evolution (bar ourselves).

>>182038648

Genetics are only part of it. Nurture plays a significant role in the development of people. A child can be raised by two different people and end up with very different personalities.

As an ex-teacher and instructor, I wouldn't mind raising someone else's kids. Obviously, I would prefer my own genetics in the mix, but if things just happened that way, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I've got a Japanese friend who had a bad divorce and was left with two kids to raise by herself. If she asked, I wouldn't hesitate to live with them and help her raise the children.

>>182038731
Sorry man but I made recently some extensive changes which broke a bunch of things, so the current build is just riddled with issues and I wouldn't feel comfortable releasing a broken demo.

Tilt is still in, I just tied it to the players movements, so the faster you move/turn the stronger the tilt effect becomes. In the video I am just cruising along so the mech doesn't tilt as much as in combat.

Experiment on a spin combo. Not sure if I'll really use this. The idea with this is that given that he floats, he's using momentum gained from the initial swing to create a 2nd swing with minimal loss on speed. Any enemy hitting this would get knocked/thrown away with bit of distance.

>>182040795
Thank you for posting something good. Can you try to implement the combo in game and see how it feels?

>>182043848
That pacing is much nicer. Are you going to make him lead into the attack a bit more? Like with his shoulders twisting into the swing before the hammer? Because right now it looks like the hammer propels itself.

You can push that waaay further. The wind-up for the swing seems non-existent and really makes it look like the hammer is much lighter than it's probably meant to be.

The rest of it looks decent. The easing out of the weapon at the end is a nice touch but it looks you could also push that a bit further, may just be me tho

What kind of conversation system are you looking for? Free-form text input? Multiple choice dialogue options? I suggest you nail down the essence of what you want the mechanic to look like and also how it's going to work internally. Then maybe you will not get shit feedback, just maybe

NECROMANCERS can revive other NECROMANCERS, who can in turn resurrect other enemies.

Just as GOD intended.

Ok. I'll try.

I just want to get a regular Visual Novel system. How do I get started with that on Unreal Engine Blueprints?

The hammer swing could use some wind up and the easing at the end could be just a bit smoother, maybe, it looks somewhat stiff.

wow, this is harder than it looks.

fucking shit.

>necromancers can't revive themselves
get on my level.

>>182045212
what the fuck are you even trying to do here

>>182044608
>>182045197
You don't wind up a weapon that heavy, it's not worth it. Best to just let the thing fall using gravity, and directing that momentum into a swing, because even with only gravity propelling it, something like that will hurt a lot already.

That said, I sped up the initial swing so it looks like it's unrealistically gaining momentum at the start, maybe I'll work on it more.

I'll try working on the recovery portion a bit.

it feels like he's being dragged along by the hammer rather than swinging it. also looks unnaturally fast

>it feels like he's being dragged along by the hammer
yes, that's the idea. the hammer is heavy, so instead of exerting effort into positioning that heavy weapon to himself, he positions his body around the weapon instead.

Yeah I'll work on the speed of the initial swing.

Do it. I'm doing it right now, they stay dead if you gib them or kill them with specific attacks, otherwise they'll get back up after a set time and mock you for failing to kill them

is krita any good?

>>182045623
It's the free alternative to PS in matters of creation of digital artwork.

>>182045623
For digital painting it's great.

>>182045507
the hammers center of gravity is moving way too much for that to be the case

You just get into making music generally speaking. There really isn't such a thing as specific "video game music", unless we're talking about chiptune I guess.

Just get yourself a DAW - pick literally any popular one, it absolutely doesn't matter except for your personal workflow - watch a couple Youtube videos about music theory, scales & chords, and just make some music. Bonus point if you can get yourself an actual instrument to play (keyboards being the best for general musical knowledge)

Prepare for at least a year of being shit.

>>182045623
not for pixelshit or animation, but for everything else its great

Any one have an idea on a good way to write a good button input attack script for a 3d unity game? Just asking general things i'll need to include.

is it worth it to make a twitter? it seems like it would take forever to build up considering how much spam that site gets and how quickly things can get buried. i already have a steady following on tumblr

>>182045987
Personally I've found it much faster to build twitter following than on tumblr.

Plus 'influencers' and the like don't really do tumblr.

>>182045987
Posting your progress under #screenshotsaturday usually gets you a good deal of exposure, more than tumblr I'd wager.

>>182045265

Done. Enemies leave a corpse, and corpses have a chance to get revived at any time. Normal enemies have this hance at 0% unless resurrected by a necromancer. Once-resurrected enemies don't leave a corpse, instead they explode into a bunch of bones.

The necromancer corpse has an increasing chance to revive itself (once), or can be resurrected by another necromancer. Resurrected enemies also have 50% hp, including any resurrected miniboss (necromancer atm).

I'll propably make the necromancer's corpse destructible in some way.

>i already have a steady following on tumblr
Well then you'll at least get a small initial burst of twitter followers.
If you post constant progress, like once a day or once every couple days, you'll slowly gain a following. If you get lucky some people with big followings will retweet you and you'll gain a bigger following faster. Also don't forget to use hashtags like #gamedev #pixelart #3D #godotengine, etc.
I personally like Twitter more than tumblr because every single tumblr blog has a different layout and is ugly as fuck, everything on twitter is more uniform and easier to navigate. The only downside is if you want to write a few paragraphs about whatever you made, but in this case you could just link to a tumblr post.

>>182045936
you'd probably do good starting with taking player input and then turning those into attacks

Anyone else here get more work done on the toilet? Brought my laptop with me to do some research and ended up typing out some code.

Not gonna make it.

Yeah, #yourengine is definitely something it has over tumblr, I've found it real useful for UE4, they also do a #EpicFriday video compilation.

Which fights today are guaranteed HEEMS?
