first for bokube dev being a fag

Is making assets the comfiest part? I like being able to just watch something while taking my time making plants look just right.

>>182155627
this and any coding that doesn't require paying attention to project structure as a whole

>>182155627
post assets

>>182155627
I don't like it, I got my game dev start in making maps for games where the assets were already there for me to use.

tell me the things you hate about your engine/framework of choice

>>182155880

hi agdg

I don't stumble here too often these days but I'd like to see if anyone has any strong opinions on something

I'm trying to make a multiplayer browser game where users send data (orders to units), at their leisure, it's kind of turn based, and eventually the server updates the map with everyone's orders.
Every tutorial/guide I've seen for multiplayer browser games uses web sockets, but because of the slow nature of my game, I thought of using a simple rest-ish API.

It sounds like it'll work in theory without a hitch, but I might be missing something.
I'm leaning towards an API because I'm already proficient in making these kinds of things from my day job.

Is there enough juice for player damage animations? (it's still rough version)

>>182156134
Why would you want to use a REST API? I don't get it. At least in my understanding, every time you make a call, you'd be creating a new Http connection to the server. That sounds like a lot of overhead for a game as opposed to just streaming some information each second.

About our game:
Still cant decide on what are we gonna do with our special bombs.

Option 1. copy most shmups, super bomb ammo drops randomly from enemies. my issue with this is some player just horde them and just use them on bosses.

Option 2. Cooldown based. Problem: Player just wait for cooldown and wont bother with normal bomb.

Option 3: needs more ideas

So are you remaking the jam game in 3d, or is it another game with the same character?

>>182157562
I dont understand. Isn't that good? Why is the fox screaming?

>>182157696
Remaking the jam game. I want there to be more variety with ranged combat and magic which wouldn't feel right with the limited 4-directional movement.

I've never tried to do a dungeon generator in Unity, but I think I've got a good enough handle on prefabs and arrays and such that I could probably make it work.

>>182156413
I want to use it because I'm proficient with it and it seemed to serve my needs

But what you're saying makes sense. An API would be alright but I'm planning on up to a hundred calls per user per minute. Using websockets will be more efficient and let me change the gameplay if I find it necessary.

not sure how are we gonna do that on our game tbqh.

here our game btw. we are 2 man working on this, it's a Silent Bomber rip off game. He plants bomb on his feet or open up a target reticle to lock on targets and lauch sticky bombs towards them. he also have special bombs, One leaves a Damage over time effect on the ground, 2nd is a black hole bomb that suck everything and third is a stun bomb that stuns. we're stuck with the special bomb ammo mechanics.

>>182158181
Nothing, people release games with premade engines all the fucking time.

>>182158239
It's neat, but would benefit from them looking like they smoothly emerged from the ground. Now it looks like they're stuck to the top of it

>>182157841
Anything TCP for video games (especially with as many calls as you expect) sounds like a terrible idea.

How much do you know about networking? If you're familiar with it, I think you can make it work, but from a general perspective this sounds awful, laggy and bandwidth-intensive.

>>182158364
ah yeah good point, I'll fix that up

post your game music /agdg/, i need things to listen to

That's like the fifth time I've seen somebody post that. Wish I had the ability to make new art so I could change it slightly so that's no longer the case.

>>182157694

Quite disappointed for them. Even if it is a overcrowded genre and the release timing was horrible, I still expected more sales for them.

>>182157694
this reminds me of superstar saga for some reason

>>182158270
It's probably one of the most straightforward parts to program. Change cursor location on input, then execute logic when something is selected

>>182158443
But every browser game is running over TCP (excluding some flash games)
my problem was with choosing the layer above TCP, so either HTTP or Websockets or something else

for my case I actually want the error checking through TCP, because it's a very slow paced game where you send orders, I want to know on the client side that the orders have been received and will execute. I'm trying to do something like this:

>round starts, users have 10 seconds to issue orders
>multiple users send orders
>server processes orders, game logic, returns the outcome to the users
>repeat

so unlike an FPS, where it's no big deal if a tick or two are missed, I actually need to make sure every action occurs.

what are the most popular 2D genres for indies.

Well the game wasn't getting much attention from non-gamedevs, not surprising.

yes. Js will never not compile

>>182157579
are you using the pbr standard shader?

>>182160326
there are no references because you can't run sideways. best you can do is run forward and look to the side at the same time.

>>182160743
What screen size/resolution is it and how do you find it? Mostly in terms of work space.
>>182160848
It won't be a toaster. It'll be an i7-7700hq (or at least an i5 7th gen that's hq), 1050 gpu and an SSD>

Desktop I use is a 4th gen i5 and amd 280 with a HDD and I'm fine on that.

Whatever Unity's built-in shader is, yeah.
Most of the "shading" is on the texture. This is a Blender render, for comparison

>>182161502
you should use a legacy shader with simple diffuse, specular and normal channels. right now because roughness and metal channels are empty in pbr shader, its giving you a matte, chalky effect

As you practice more your brain will eventually get used to how the things work and you'll be able to just know how to do at least the basic stuff.
Of course you can't retain everything, and that's where the documentation comes in, to help you remember and learn new things.

Finished adding the idle, move, dash, and hurt animations for the warhammer.

And with that, the player finally now has three weapons he can freely mix in combos.

Basically, hammerspace. It's part of his magical ability to conjure weapons. There'll be more attacks later on that capitalize this with weapon-based spells (spear walls, flying swords, warhammer tremors, etc.)

i think the bullets exploding makes more visual sense but its still a weird thing to convey. there isn't really a way to make it make sense.

>>182172838

>>182172838
Not him, but anon what is happening is that the remaining bullets just turn into bonus point drops and the player just absorbs them.
It's a feature that some other shumps have as well.

>>182172838
It's like DDP, they magically turn into point goodies.

>>182173107
Problem with that is some attacks damage you by exploding (webm related) so it'd get a little confusing. It'd also be weird to make energy-based projectiles explode.

is there no crack for gamemaker 2.0 so I can make my game for free and only buy it once I'm done with the game and ready to sell it?

Nodev here.

How hard would it be to implement a scriptable CSS GUI in C++ for my game engine?

>>182173325
Yeah unless you take too long and they release GM 2.1 and stop selling old licenses.

>>182173026
It's a permanent licence, it does have limitations though. But you weren't planning on releasing games with a pirated copy anyway, right? So are the limitations really going to matter?

Honestly though, it's 2017 not 2007. There are so many free engines and resources now, I can't believe this is even an issue you're having.
If you want an engine like Game Maker without having to pay, just use Godot.

>>182173310
I am suddenly having flashbacks to the first mini-boss in Einhander. Good times.

>It's like DDP, they magically turn into point goodies.
If that's the case, I'd suggest changing their color to let the player know they're clearly changed into goodies. And I guess have some sort of appropriate *ka-ching* sound effect for each one absorbed.

>i dont have any preferences in engines

>>182175179
In GM FPS is "room speed", it was 30 by default on 1.4 and 60 in 2.0, which means everything is tied to the FPS by default which is basically the most retarded way of doing anything ever.

>>182174824
I use Godot, it doesn't cap FPS.

The game logic is only tied to room_speed if you keep it that way. Any GM-dev who knows anything will change the room speed and/or use delta_time.

>>182175189
I have never seen someone successfully use delta time in GMS.
I don't know how they managed to fuck the engine up so badly that delta time doesn't work right. This is why every gamemaker dev just skips delta time and hardcodes everything to run at 60 fps.

It doesn't work because you still need a license to open the program, someone here already tried that.

>>182175578
As much as he's a big dumb guy, this guy is right.
Game Maker is designed from the bottom up with the logic tied to the frame rate. And it's much easier to just use a different engine than to set everything up to use dt.
But they're 2D games, if they're not running at a consistent frame rate even on a toaster, you probably did something wrong.

>>182176046

If I were him I guess I'd consider maybe making the boob window smaller (maybe make it a diamond?), but the breasts would be an eyesore if there was just plain cloth across the whole thing. There's basically be this big area that's all just one solid color, the balance of detail would be all off and the head and shoulders would stand out from what they're connected to way too much. How the cloth folds under the breasts is more odd than the boob window; female clothing doesn't have boobsocks built into the front to stuff your boobies into. And even that I don't mind too much, but if I had to pick the "greater offense" I'd say that's more obvious than the boob window.

Everyone always says to pick a first project that's small in scope. I always see people picking platformers, but to me that makes no sense. It involves creating a character in an environment with a lot of modifiers all affecting them at once. Gotta do gravity, hitboxes, attacks, multiple movement states for things like falling, climbing ladders, swimming, then do AI, have states for things like maps, powerups, etc.

I have no coding or game development experience and I felt that even with a platformer I'd be going in over my head. Besides, platformers aren't really my thing, so I looked to action games. 2D stuff looked to be simpler to learn the basics in, so I went from there. Saw a video of punch-out on youtube, put some thought into how a game might be structured. Although I didn't know what state machines were at the time, I realized that ultimately it came down to just 2 state machines fighting each other, with one controlled by the player. I'd still have to deal with things like making unique AI for every fighter, but every encounter with the player was guaranteed to be in a controlled, structured environment where I'd always know it would be one player vs one enemy, and from there I could learn the basics of creating systems and satisfying AI and then move on from there. As a bonus, your average punch-out game only has like 10 or so adversaries you'd face over the whole game, so the scale didn't seem too big.

Yup, that's normal. Make sure the gameplay is solid, then start adding lots and lots of content for that gameplay to play with. Then polish the heck out of everything.

A player object interacts with various triggers. Would you attach the code to the player or to the triggers?

If it is attached to the triggers, a lot of related code will be spread across many files and may contain duplicate code.
If it is attached to the player, the player file will become too big to handle efficiently.

I think latter is the lesser evil.

triggers, duegh

then any changes/overhauls to the player code wont affect the triggers afaik

im not a programmer tho

kinda depends. As far as the bars go, the right is better for me, but I think I might prefer keep that little pear shaped thing underneath the main icon. If the purple bar is directly related to it, it might be better off to just use the right one.

The player's script shouldn't care what the object is that it's interacting with. It should just tell the thing that the player is interacting with it and the thing should decide what happens.

It must exist, since I had it at one point. Maybe it was in someone's mega.

I agree that it's not worth paying for. It was really shallow from a developer's perspective, in my opinion. Way worse than Indie Game: The Movie

no but I think there's more important things to work on.

Things I was thinking of:

*Making there be toilets the girls can use

*Making girls' faces change a bit during dialogue (for now just an orgasm face when they cum?)

*Maybe something stealth-related?

*Do some code changes for room-structures in the basement, so lolis know who is their cellmates, etc?

i already watched but i want to watch it again because the movie is really inspiring and you can get lots of ideas from the movie

can't find the torrent on the Internet for the life of me

More important:
* Remember to end yourself before you ruin a real life child's life.
