/agdg/ - Amateur Game Development General

Is there a more optimized way to calculate where the y should be on a tile slope?

For ascending-right slopes (that are 45 degrees), I have been using:

y = (ty*v) + ( v - ( ox - (tx*u) ) );

For ascending-left slopes (that are 45 degrees), I have been using:

y = (ty*u) + ( ox - (tx*v) ) * ( v / u );

This is what the following stuff means:
>ox: the bottom corner on the front side of the direction entity is moving
>tx: tile column
>ty: tile row
>u: tile width
>v: tile height (both u and v are 16 in this case)

They work, for their corresponding sides, and i've been playing around and haven't encountered any problems.

What I would like to do later is center the entity along the slope, so ox would become the entities x + w/2 in both scenarios; it works, but i've encountered an issue where it collides with solid tiles underneath it. The thing I have thought of doing is creating a world box that doesn't sink into the slope, and then its a simple offset from there.

I have two (45 degree) ramps that are descending left or right, and I have yet to find or come up with a formula that works for those. Is there a better formula I can use that applies to all ramps, with all the variables I have so far?

Why did you do it bokube? I was fucking happy for you, I knew you were going to be kickstarted and prove the haters wrong, and you did. I knew you were a good dev I watched you dev livestreaming, I wanted to see you succeed.

Then you go and fucking do this. It's not like you're killing kittens but you're serving a big fuck you to your backers and ignoring agdg when this time it is 100% for your best interest telling you to stop.

This is worse than the trump tweets. You posted fucking progress on another game already tied to you, you retard, this isn't like the FPS, people know for sure that it's you and your game and you posted it when you're supposed to be focusing 100% on boku.

Spell system basics are in.

Spells are cast by combining magick runes together. (Currently they do nothing).

Pressing SHIFT opens the magic runes, and the runes (up to 3) are selected with up (W), left (A) and right (D). Relesing SHIFT casts the spell.

Presing SHIFT makes the player immobile (because selecting the runes is done with the direction buttons), but also slows down time for the duration of the casting (thank god (which is me) for implementing Delta timing).

Also testing out a mana bar for spells, might not end up keeping it. Other plans include a wieldable wand / staff you can bind spells to (pressing DOWN while casting would bind the current spell to the staff, and using the staff would enable the player to cast the spell without combining the runes).

Other progress includes (but not limited to):

Oh boy this will be lovely to see tested in reality.

I have a game with a single player option at the main menu (where you can open the level browser to pick a level), but then there is also a level browser option at the main menu which does practically the same thing, you pick a level and play single player

If I remove single player, just having a "level browser" option is weird. If I keep both, they are pretty redundant.

Any ideas?

Unreal Engine.

How do I change the texture of the button from one to another upon activation?

I can specify different images for states like "Pressed" (meaning only when pressed and not afterwards), hovered, but not once it's pressed.

Should I use checkboxes? I want to be able to select the same perks more than once.

>>182467423

Because it´s a core part of the game, moreso than single player

>>182467485
The game plays 5 quick matches online, with random maps on public games. So picking a level before hand is not feasible since levels may end in 1 to 5 minutes

>>182467513
The thing is, it's not too far out of character, which is a problem by itself.

Set brush from texture takes an image widget as the input, not a button. So you'd need to wrap your image with a button to do that.

>>182468439
Here's how the AI movement currently looks like. But it's unfinished so it's not going to stay like this.

Why do people want boku to work exclusively on boku (that's the game's name too, right?)? I'd imagine most people do things better if they do them when they actually feel like it, and I'm pretty sure he gave a timeframe so as long as he meets his promised deadlines it's shouldn't be a big deal, right? Though I've never funded anyone's kickstarter so maybe that's why I'm apathetic.

It's also entirely possible that his kickstarter didn't have that many backers and instead had mom n' dad dump into it or something, so the popularity might be lower than projected by the funding amount.

Because they gave him money to work on boku not another game.

It's not complicated. You don't take money from someone for a job and then use it to go do something else. You can justify it in your head but that doesn't mean other people will see it from your point of view. What they see is a piece of shit who just walked off with their money and used it as a temporary loan to pay back later when they will do the job they were supposed to.

That's a very stupid statement when you just received money to work on something.

The game itself will suffer.

>>182469491
Not him, but you're wrong. You get paid to do a job, you do it. Period.

If you can shit that other game in 2 weeks and you didn't require the money, then why did you ask for it in the first place, scammer?

It just seems like a weird way to lay out the transaction. I don't pay a creator to perform the process of making something, I just pay them for the end product. Though I don't work for an hourly wage so that's probably why I don't lay it out like that.

>>182468179

It is like if mario kart gets a level editor. Trying out new levels and sharing them would be a core part, but you don't want people aimlessly browsing levels between online matches, you want them to do beforehand.

And in mario kart, you have 4 races until a winner is picked, like my game. So with that in mind, a level browser in the main menu would have to offer 4 races to maintain that feature. And if the level browser is making you run 4 races, then that is just like single player.

But if you remove single player as an optiopn and have just level browser, it is weird.

That is the situation I'm in. How would you add a level browser to mario kart?

Idk how mario kart works, never played any of the games tbqh, but if it's about adding a level browser then wouldn't first come the character browser? and even before that it's the choice to play multiplayer or solo.
Since it seems you need to choose the levels you want to play in anyway why not make them as packs? for example desert pack and it's a bunch of maps desert related and from those maps 5 are chosen randomly.

You choose your character, and when everyone is ready they decide by voting the maps they are going to play, or what pack of maps the will choose.

Boku literally cannot program. He can paste together scripts well enough to prototype. He is hiring someone to rewrite the entire engine of the game.

The depths of boku's retardation are deep.

>>182469753
I don't see how it's relevant. If you are the head of a development effort and you're fucking around on something else while other people are working on the main project you will be fired and replaced. For individual efforts like this, it is your supporters who will fire and replace you.

Someone else is doing the bulk of the work? You still show up to the office and stay committed to the project, because human beings expect basic things like attention and loyalty from people who take their money. No avoiding that.

Can you explain it step by step? I don't know how to even set an image as a variable.

In the designer UI I can add an "Image", but I can't promote it to variable or do shit from there.

Sorry, but I'm going to bitch a bit about UE.
In the button you have options to change the image one it's hovered, pressed, but not after it's pressed. It seems like a big oversight to me.

>>182470382

"Preorder" is not how you spell "investing". By preordering a game backers are paying for you to work on the game until it's finished so they can play it. If you want to boil it down to the deliverable, they are paying for a game. There is no investing here, so if they aren't getting what they expected, the first thought is "scam" or "fraud".

>>182470382
Do you have any screenshots of him confessing this? I want to believe but it's over the top.

>>182471173

Just to add, wrap the image into a size box (or is it a scale box ?) if you want it to keep an exact height/width ratio.
UE4 has a lot of options for UIs but it's a little tedious/unintuitive to use.

Nope.

>>182471579
A strawman is the best thing boku can hope for right now.

>>182471415
Don't forget that it's not actually legal in the US (where Kickstarter is located) to receive "investments" for projects like this unless they come from someone with a 7-figure net worth or 6-figure salary, precisely because anyone poorer is too easy to scam.

>>182471548
Thank you! I think I got it. I'll report back. It's a bit damn convoluted. Specially when it could have been set from the Designer to start with instead of creating new variables.

How does Boku expect to get his game in nintendo switch tho? i don't know much about switch and getting a pc game to console tbqh.

Care someone to explain the retarded me how you can do it?

>>182470348
it´s ok

If you ever play mario kart, you'll see that people voting on maps to play between every level adds a huge annoying delay in play time. If you add that not only you can pick a level, but you can discover new levels from uploaded ones (which is the point of my game), that time would be even greater

I'll keep trying to figure something out

>>182471921
He uses Unity. That's how.

>>182471957
Oh so you want something like a cloud where everyone upload their maps for other people to play?

>>182471921
Unity exports to switch. You probably need to add controller support, do some optimizations, integrate whatever achievements and other platform specific shit switch uses. Then get approval from nintendo and a developer console.

>>182471921
I don't know what engine he's using but I'm pretty sure Unity and UE4 both run on the Switch and you just need a license from Nintendo before you get the Switch source code.
Then you just adjust controls and UI to fit the new platform.

I wouldn't do a console port as a 1MA unless I'd already had the PC version out long enough to squash major bugs, though. Porting virtually always introduces new bugs even if you aren't an amateur, and maintaining two versions at once sounds like hell.

Registering a Nintendo Dev account is free, but unlike 3DS and Wii U you will have to contact Nintendo privately regarding a dev kit. I dunno if I can disclose the price myself, but it costs a tad higher than 500, without crossing 1k.

I assume after that it's developing using middleware like Unity and then optimizing the game to have it work properly on the console, then going through a screening process by Nintendo.

FTFY

>>182472060
yeah, we are making that

And because it is a pvp game that takes 5 quick matches before a winner is chosen, the level browser is conflicting with single player mode since they are pretty much the same thing.

I think I figured it out tho. I'll give a "custom game" option for both singleplayer and private multiplaye rrooms, and in these modes people can alter levels, unlike the random multiplayer mode where nobody owns the room

It's $450

Games made on any popular engine can be ported over to switch. Beats me how you go about getting the thumbs up from nintendo, but there are even UE4 games getting ported over to the switch.

So what do non artist use for art in their game? You guys just using place holders until you get popular enough for an artist to volunteer or pay with patreon bucks?

Using 5k to rewrite the entire game doesn't give me any confidence anyway

If you know how to model and how logical operators work (i.e. can code), you can teach yourself to rig in 30 minutes.

Though that's partially because you need to already have some understanding of how rigging works in order to make your model properly. It's kinda circular honestly, you need to understand how rigging works to make a model that'll fold properly, but you need a model that can be folded properly in order to learn how to rig. Just throw yourself into the loop then backtrack when you realize you did something wrong.

Rain has two layers. One is in the foreground, where each particle has its physics collider. When rain particle hits something it generates a splash particle.
Background has moving parallax that looks like rain so it looks more dense.
There is also that accidental effect where it looks like rain actually flows down the slopes, which can be done by giving splash particles proper speed.

I've found 3 over an hour long vids from UE themselves about this topic, but I'll bother the guy if I have any trouble.

I'm surprised the topic can fill up ~4 hours of vid, though.

Add velocity ((player's forward vector) * 1000)

>>182476297
holy shit this

Maybe a little more (spawn a box collision / assign to on overlap -> ragdoll, add force / move component to) but yes, it's an extremely easy gimmick.

This is making me feel like a dumbass. In GMS 1.4 I'm trying to make a script which can have either 1 or 6 arguments, but I'm unsure what exactly to do for this. GMS freaks out if I try to run the game with this code, and says I'm trying to call a script which wants only one argument, but I'm putting in six. If I don't use the arguments in array form, AKA call them as argument0 instead of argument[0], and etc, then it will say the script was asking for six arguments. The explanation for argument count is weirdly obtuse, and I'm not totally sure what to do, even with a google search.

The official video tutorials are for retards and constantly repeat themselves or go into PowerPoint to explain simple concepts.

>>182477152
Recommend me something else, because all I've found is this one (whose author some anon recommended)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfF3fb0WaoY
or random tutorials from random people, and I've had it with those.

quick rundown on rotatedev anyone? I'm new

>>182477274
90% of video tutorials suck ass.
You've got to take what you can get.

In no way was it Hello Game's fault. The public should've known the capabilities of modern procgen tech.

Yes, the consumers are supposed to be seasoned programmers that know the limitations of algorithms during any given point in time.

I've played it and it's pretty alright, there are some game design problems in it but it's far from a bad game. I still play it every now and then and continue exploring. Pretty chill game.

I honestly think Sony fucked up, they turned the marketing to 11 and there was no way a small studio could deliver on that amount of hype.
They might have had some AAA funding for it, but it's still a small studio game.

>>182477429
Ok. Fair advice.

Why are there no tutorials for Godot? Am I wasting my time? Why are there so many trannies in vidja?

I'm thinking about making all of the enemies be bugs. What do you think agdg?

>>182475107
They probably make c++ components and expose functionality to blueprints. Triple A has always been using scripting to make gameplay tweaks easier for designers, so I guess they would use blueprints now.

>>182478134
>>182478290
Reddit, YouTube, Stack, Twitter even 4chan. There are too many resources to be informed about products by people more knowledgeable than you. It's only excusable because of idiocy.

>>182479026
>Why are there no tutorials for Godot?
There are, they are just kinda hard to find (the tutorials channel in their discord has a bunch of them).

>>182479036
I think you're a piece of shit.

Men need feminine contact in whatever way they can get it.

anyone need something modeled?

Are programming college classes a meme? How did you guys learn to codeshit.

Please don't drop Bokube for this.

>>182477358
gamedev
not even once

>>182479387
A tree.

>>182479036
Good idea. Making all the enemies similar in concept could help with Bokube's consistency issues. We are talking about Bokube, right?

>>182479406
I read this
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/

and that was basically it. everything else was just experimenting/trial&error

It was garbage.

rotatedev is actually pretty hot, damn.

the problem with unreal is it's overhead, it's like twice the requirements of a unity game. it destroys toasters

>>182479926
By the time I finish my game toasters will be able to fly.

I'm downloading it just for the keks but it seems like he mashed up every free asset he could find and combined it with a couple of game tutorials.

I spent this week on a sideproject, what do you guys think? Does it look fun enough to continue with?

I for one enjoy bokudev being here simply because he consistently posts progress and keeps his cool.

>>182480321
>Does it look fun enough to continue with?
Nope.
There's a million games like this already.
Next

>>182480420
Yeah he stole my money and started working on a different game.
Really gotta love that guy.

I gave him money to work on Bokube full time, not start a side project and split his time.

literally said hes doing nothing all day but working on two games. Makes sense to me 8 hours a day on bokube and the rest of the time on this new game because he chooses not to have a life. Makes sense.

>>182480321
seems like the only way to continue is if you want to grind on art for awhile

>>182480897
Yes i agree, thanks for feedback.
