What should I work on now? I have these options:
* Pushable objects
* Wireable-ish objects, like...
* Bridges that appear and disappear
* Disappearing blocks (when wired/powered)

This is something many people go through, I think it's about time I just do it, the game will never be as perfect as I imagine, but at least I can try.

>>182078418
>I am not.
confirmed boku

>>182078350

>>182078206
>>182078350
i know that feeling

>>182078418
desu it looks interesting when background is white
but when you changed scenery it just looks terrible

>>182078494
start by making your dream game.
be appalled of how shit it is.
then polish it until it's how you want it to be.
now you have your dream game.

working on something else because you are scared of your dreams is how you become a nodev.

My laptop just turned off for no reason.
Please don't tell me my best friend is dying.

>>182078690
By changed scenery do you mean made stars be the background?

>>182079150
Could be overheating, what were you doing when it turned off?

>>182079330
yes

>>182077963
i think the switching would work better if you have different words with inverted map, think a black and white map, when you switch world you can move only in the opposite color, i still don't know where you intend to take this, neat effect tho

>>182079489
That's an interesting idea, I think I can make it a mechanic, but I don't particularly want to make it the entire game. Thanks for your suggestion!

>>182079478
Huh, well. I like it, but many levels might not even feature the second scenery as you called it.

Lost motivation for a few days because I'd spent the previous few trying to fix a problem. I fire up the project today and its gone. Now we keep going!

>bokudev is now making bokube, a first person survival game, and a 2D platformer where you play as a blob
This guy is crazy, will he start a fourth game?

>>182079712
consider the following, swap the texture but keep the values
so the background stays white and the foreground stays dark, but only the texture changes


or vice-versa: colors change but the texture doesn't

Not sure if this breaks the game or makes it more fun.

>>182080373
So just change the star texture to something else that is similarly dark? That sounds like a good idea, noted. Thanks!

Time for progress.
Implemented a chargeable laser weapon. The normal version needs power, if there isn't enough power a weaker version of the shot is fired, while the stronger version is available in super mode.

>>182080703
what's the difference between TheJackal04.webm and TheJackal05.webm

I'm curious

Last night I realized my code was totally fucked, spent the evening and this morning fixing it up. Now I'm back to a point where I can make progress. Unfortunately my computer isn't great, so the webm is kinda choppy but it runs totally fine when I'm not recording, though I should still probably check on my code. The idea of the game is that you're a spaceship going through different sectors exploring stuff, and can encounter stuff that wants you dead.
Right now the projectile tracking is pretty rudimentary, but it will aim ahead of the target based on its trajectory last tick instead of where it currently is. Next stop is implementing sensor scanning and possibly stealth/detection mechanics.

I want to be like Resident Evil 4... they took a gamble and ended up revolutionizing modern games even outside the horror genre... since then, 90% of AAA games have been over-the-shoulder cam 3rd person shooters.

Time for a new trend...

Nice progress son

>>182080804
Well honestly there's a lot of little tweaks I've done.
Most of them are visual though, but the biggest difference is the aforementioned charge weapon and that I've changed random wave spawner to spawn enemies with a keypress.
It's still an early prototype obviously, I'm just lazy to make faster progress.
Thanks for asking though.

just like you are using the benefits of anonymity and not posting your game associating it with dumb shit that slides out of your mouth (assuming you have one), other devs are also open to use the same benefits and post certain stuff anonymously rather than associating it with their progress posts
you don't need any more arguments, now fuck off to reddit

looks adorable, very nice.

>>182084489
I plan to make three upgrades for now with different hitbox spacing.
Projectiles will be limited by stamina, but melee attacks can be done without limit.

Guess I'll add jewdev to my filters.

>>182084486
(You)

>>182084645
So does that mean you'll switch between the upgrades? And I'm assuming this grill is a mage of some kind seeing as she can shoot those projectiles, is the sword magic too or just a melee weapon she's packing?

I like talking both gameplay stuff AND lore/character stuff.

Got the game to assign controls based on how many players there are. Currently the controls for each are hardcoded, but it won't be hard to make them configurable. This allows for the actual co-op aspect. Both players have to be at the "next level" sign to proceed.

>>182084889
Yes, upgrades will be switchable, able to be turned off and on, etc. I want the player to have as much freedom as possible with the upgrades.
The sword is magic. Basically, everything she does is light based.

Tell me more, someone else here will care too, I care. For fairness sake I'll give you some fluff/flavor text bullshit for my project.

My knight's sword returns to him automatically after that meter fills up because he's got a magic scabbard that calls that shit back, same reason why his subweapons are automatically restocked when you run out of ammo, like a bag of holding but magically duplicates shit.

Maybe you should keep practicing instead of posting then defending every single shit you do, your first thousand sprites won't be sellable.

So with the zombie fad done with, knights holding the ground right now, and pirates ready to take over, does that mean I should start devving ninja themed games to be ahead of the rotation?

How the fuck do you import Blender animations in UE4? The mesh and skeleton import fine, but the animation makes them shrink 100 times. If I try to scale the skeleton on either export or import, it just says "import failed" and nothing else.

I've been reading https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/23312/45-slopes-in-a-tile-based-2d-platformer and http://higherorderfun.com/blog/2012/05/20/the-guide-to-implementing-2d-platformers/

But I am still having a hard time getting it to work with what I have been making. Probably because the coordinates in my game origin from the top left.

Do you know of any other guides, ones that might have formulas, that would be useful?

A friend of mine wants me to do art for a 2D first person dungeon crawler thingy we're making. He also wants me to be idea guy, but that's kind of irrelevant for what I need to ask.

I made the first map (pic related, it's still WIP as you can see) but I also need to make wall tiles and shit. He didn't want to do it in 3D so I told him we should do it it wizardry style where the walls are sprites and stuff. My issue is that I'm kind of lost. I know the window size (1280x720) but I'm not sure how to proportion the walls correctly. Does any artfag have any tips?

Dicking around with detection and displaying info. The AI is cheating right now and doesn't need detection, but the player needs it. The circle denotes the max detection range for another ship; since missiles are smaller they can't be seen until much closer, making it more difficult for point defense systems to engage. I like the font, but I need to do some scaling/modifications to it, otherwise >mixels.
Stealth is going to be a really important aspect in the game, with the possibility for detection via ship size, heat transmission, or EM. It will be possible to get the jump on/get ambushed by enemies depending on equipment and the environment.
There will also be different missile types, including something similar to an anti-radar missile to snipe far away targets.

I've made a terminal to monitor the air levels in different rooms. Your own O2 meter goes down when the air-level of a room is below 50%. This mechanic was already inside the game for DD15 but there wasn't any graphics to show it actually worked (except the O2 meter.)

Thoughts on the looks of the terminal? (not the computer sprite I've stolen from pokémon, the other thing)

why do you always delete after posting your soundcloud

>>182105562
Maybe some more indication of when the O2 is at a danger level. Like maybe filling it in with hash marks or making it blink? Right now it's kinda hard to tell between light and less light pink.

>>182106001
I'll probably do that, thanks for the suggestion.

I need to find a way to communicate the air levels to the player without having them check the computer though. Any ideas?

>>182106497
>red strobe lights
I think that's a strong idea if they're omnipresent. Just try not to make it obnoxious.

Also just to toss it out there, I think the glass breaks a little too easily in the demo (you might have your player getting sucked into space every 3 minutes in a bigger game), and this bit is tricky but I think it would make sense to have the AI be aware of the possibility of shooting the glass out since they're extremely prone to it and that makes it hard for the player to have control over that outcome.

>>182106631
Oh I see now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it gets to dangerous levels before the top rectangle comes all the way down no?
>>182106185
Like this guy said, FTL had a pretty good system. My only problem with yours as it stands is that I can tell it's getting lower, but I can't tell exactly WHEN it's too low. FTL did it with the increasing redness, but once it was too low to breathe it had hash marks so you knew. Granted, I think FTL was a little different because it was only when the room was totally out of O2 that this would happen, not 50% like your game.

>>182105859
Thank you anon. I'll do my best!

>>182106313
Lore reasons.
>>182106267
Hmm, nothing with less tracks being used though? Sounds like you use the euro-style voice repetition along with with DPCM samples often. Makes it sound too hi-fidelity for what the old 8 bit era typically had.

>>182107345
I don't know what euro-style repetition is.
I've only used on dpcm sample.

>>182106660

>>182107038
>Oh I see now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it gets to dangerous levels before the top rectangle comes all the way down no?

Yes. I'm taking note of your criticism, I'll add some additional visuals if a room gets within danger level.

>>182106961
>I think the glass breaks a little too easily in the demo (you might have your player getting sucked into space every 3 minutes in a bigger game),

I'm going to make the glass more resistant for sure. For now though, I think it's fine because I need it to break quickly if I'm debugging. Also I didn't want players to miss this mechanic during the demo.

>and this bit is tricky but I think it would make sense to have the AI be aware of the possibility of shooting the glass out since they're extremely prone to it and that makes it hard for the player to have control over that outcome.

Probably possible to do but I don't think it's worth it. Anything to do with AI is bug-prone and time-consuming.

so glad i dont have to deal with shit like that because my sprites are aligned to an ortho camera but everything moves and collides in 3d space. Fire an arrow at an enemy and have to do some cockamamy equation to see if tha arrow would hit that tree or z order behind it? Fuck no! The arrow collision object moves along a parabola and if it hits the tree sprites box theni replace it with the stuck-arrow sprite

>>182085087
The funny thing is that fear wasn't really that good because the devs couldn't design a level or scenario to save their lives and almost all of the game was bland corridors.

>>182093407
This one reminds me of some sort of computer readout, it doesn't look like grass at all. If you want to do that sort of symbol stuff why not do something that's a bit more suitable like wavy water for the water meter etc.
Also all those things don't really seem like pertinent info other than your health and stamina. Using up 1/3 of your lower UI for water and food seems like a waste and will probably fuck you up if or when you want to have more items on your item bars.

>>182109173
Different objs should have different masks

>>182112778
It was tricky because I already had a tile-based elevation system in place, so I had to make the player ignore the elevation of the tile below it if it collided with a bridge

Then when you were walking on a bridge, the player sprite was drawn behind the bridge since my system for arranging sprites was just to draw whichever had the highest y value at its base (furthest down the screen, closer to foreground) last. So I had to modify that to account for entities that were supposed to be underfoot, not in front, which wasn't fun but should work pretty well going forward

Moral of the story is don't do enginedev

You mean like, so that "blank" spaces are drawn over colored space? Or that the objects should cast shadows? The first one is already implemented, I just haven't changed my sprites to match.

Haven't posted in a while; my character attack_1 and movement states are finished! Just like 7 more states to go ._.

Also made a zoom function.
The yellow things are not enemies, they're just there for scale and i spammed them in the room lolol
