i kinda want to make a rhythm drumming game where you use mouse and keyboard

like when you play hand drums when you're bored

left hand is for the drums and right hand is for the cymbals/hihat. it's weird at first but surprisingly playable.

a and s are both kick (for double kicks). space is snare. left and right click for hihat and middle for crash cymbal. will probably have d-g for toms or something. not sure how i'll fit a ride cymbal on a 3 button mouse though.

it takes some getting used to be im not hating it so that's a start

pretty good

>>182587726
my issue with all those apps/games is that they consistently have too much latency to be really enjoyable if you actually play music

>>182587907
thats usually my problem with rhythm games too.
since it's pc with mouse and keyboard though latency is pretty small. i also made sure to remove as much delay on every sound clip i could so it feels instant. i'll record a webm of playing along with a song in a minute to show

So /agdg/,
I've now been an enginedev for 12 years.
On and off, sometimes not touching them for months, sometimes all day, every day.

Four engine revisions, from 2d to 3d, eight (?) vague 'game ideas'.
All these "game projects" have only been excuses to write more engine code.

Tell me what a waste this is, /agdg/.

I've never posted about my own shit here before

>>182591396
A flamethrower is useless if you can outrun him.
Or make him launch fireballs if you're feeling fancy.

Always be ready in case another dev challenges you to a dev-off

The future of your game will be on the line.

>>182591538
Should you create your own game engine from scratch? We’d say that it’s a great experience if you want to expand you knowledge on how game engines work from a fundamental level. When using one of these monolithic pieces of software, it is often helpful to understand the quirks with real-time rendering to understand how best to design your games and graphics to achieve high framerates. Don’t however start creating a game engine with the expectation that it can compete with commercial engines. If an engine exists out there that has all the functionality you desire, it’s probably best to use that instead.

That's actually really nicely said.

It's not like I wouldn't actually want to make a game. I just can't seem to match myself with the right people. I am a competent musician as well, but there is no game without designers and visual artists (especially since I prefer art-heavy and story driven games)

I'm not an ideas person either, so the premise of all projects so far has been fucking vague at best

Well the current revision is open in github, but it's not geared towards anyone else nor very generic, so I doubt it'd be much use to others other than as an example.

Maybe not with one or two characters per se, but it will very quickly become one. Best not to go down that route at all; The usual methods are either vertex animation (and automated face rig systems) or texture animation

at that point you might as well just transform the verts individually

lolno. Even if you can program. Start small, copy a retro game.

Is it a sane idea to substitute pure virtual classes (interfaces) for scenes, gameobjects, etc. with using function pointers to avoid the inefficiency of late binding?

>>182599990

You should use object/component pools and avoid interfaces, since pointer chasing becomes damn costly in the long run, especially in update loops.
Premature optimization is also bad, but then again it's hard to say when it is premature in gamedev.

Use a platform that works. All this Godot and GMS shilling is just meme shit. You want to get serious about game development, use unity for 2D/3D and unreal for 3D.

In fact, "super famous devs" you meet in this kind of events are either advertising their games or are invited as stars. Which means there are usually just one or two of them.
But I would like to show my game to Molyneux one day.
I showed my game to Philippe Ulrich on Facebok and he told me "I'm busy I'm with someone", so that's not the most useful feedback ever.

>>182600736
Molyneux is British.

So he hires someone for code from agdg discord, and another anon for some models? A japanese dev to make a mobile side-game too?

pixar and disney use physically based shaders. in fact the most realistic shader yet was invented for wreck it ralph and zootopia

Does anyone know how the 3ds fire emblem games do their character sprites? Do they just for each character make a sprite of them in every class or do they have the class sprites and the head sprites as separate things and just put the characters head over the classes body?

Last bit of progress for today, which is a SCUBA tank.

This is indicative of how most "useful items" (which is to say, anything that isn't some sort of a collectible) will work in Dixie: it gets slotted into a weapon position.

So here, we have the SCUBA tank that Montana Wild gives you for her second quest (raiding a sunken pirate ship for "ocean-aged rum"). It utilizes the sword weapon set (though it's held a little weird, and I need to fix that), but its heavy attack override is a unique function. So where guns, for instance, use a mid-melee gunshot anim, this uses a special anim with a notify event that refills Dixie's air.

This, in turn, lets you swim freely underwater while you have it equipped.

This sort of thing being slotted into weapons is really nice because it means that you can, over time, build up an arsenal of unique or interesting item-weapons that may help you in other levels if you choose to bring them. And because it's easy for me to do.

Also updated underwater melee to be up-vector agnostic so that you can melee in whatever direction you're swimming. Oh, and this is I guess /agdg/'s first look at my depth-driven water shader that obscures the deeper reaches of water bodies.

Mario himself isn't lit that way, though.

Even in Odyssey, he's lit independent of the game, with his own 100% vertical shadow-cast and as a separate depth buffer pass which lets his silhouette be rendered behind all opaque objects. He has a sort of 3D pillow shading going on as well, giving him depth of color even when standing in the shade.

>>182603765
it has issues, but try it. its free. getting it off of github isn't like pirating it or anything. they put it there open to everyone themselves. they have it on the marketplace for people who want to fund blender development.

there's also good old bSurfaces, which is included with blender. you draw on the surface of your model with the grease pencil or lay down curves and it converts them to polygons.

theres a lot of cool shit for blender nobody is even aware of. I remember someone posting this video of this program that took a 2d photo and turned it into a 3d model with the photo as the texture. there is a blender plugin that does this dating back to like 2012

>How are things going with GiaC? How close to release are you? What do you have left?
I will release a big update July 17th, with the sandbox mode, level editor and level sharing (and the solutions browser). I hope it will help to create any kind of community around the game.
After that, I will have to make 50 more levels (variables, functions, nano machines generation, etc), but most of the technical work has been done.
There will be cutscenes too, but they are easy and funny to do. I have great pleasure to showcase in cutscenes stuff the engine can do.

I'm starting to get out of this hell that is research and development, starting to work on something and never knowing when it will be done. Those days seem to be almost over, and I'm getting back to normal cycles of development.

I will have to put more effort into the art and redo the whole user interface.

Working on material for the release (trailer, etc) will take easily a full month.

I really would like to release the game in September, but looking at what needs to be done, it will most likely be released early 2018. That's far too much time spent on the game, as it would represent 3 years and half. I would have to sell 26k units to get my investment back, which is a lot by indie standards (20k sales is considered a success).
It looks like I'm stuck in the "I will put a few more work into the game because X more time is less than the Y time I already spent and I really need the game to be a success" mentality.

>>182605184
No, I know. But the problem is, if I do that (blend in a neutral "hanging" pose partway on the legs), it interferes with any kicking animation pretty heavily.

So I'd need a way of flagging animation segments as being kick-oriented rather than hand-oriented to make it work.

Do your eyes really see ground contact there with a visible shadow like a foot below it?

I ask because people standing flat on a surface with a wet spot on the concrete in front of them is a standard optical illusion for levitation; shadows are the single best indicator of ground contact for your visual system.

Steamcloud is not an online save, it's an online backup you are supposed to access only from your personal devices, and only from devices running steam (no phone, no tablet).
Can you access your data from a friend's steamcloud?
I'm making a system to get back your data from any game support in the world running the game:
>you start the game at home on your windows
>you continue playing on your phone
>you complete an asssignment on your school's iPad
>you finish the chapter on a portable console running Android
99% players won't care about the feature, but people who provide game time will care a lot (teachers and co). The same goes for having 100+ profiles on the same computer with no internet connection.

Making a feature usable by everyone often means 10 times more work, when the same feature can be accessed with a command line (which become a mess when you use a lot of them, taht's true).
When there will be more pro features, some of the easier to use pro features should be transferred in the normal version.

I'd probably run a notify state across the span of frames that are kick-oriented.

BUT then it has secondary issues; if she kicks with the left foot, she still stands with the right... But she has drop-kicks and other doubles, so I need to have two separate notify states, one for each leg.

And it's just such a fucking pain.

>>182609597
Boku's tongue game is actually a rip-off of a 20-year-old N64 game.

It's an official sequel. He bought the IP

>>182609110
Peaked in 2005 really.

>>182609597
>>182609680
Chameleon Twist to be precise.

>>182609110
This makes me sad

>>182609765
Yeah, it's a rip-off of an N64 game about a chameleon that I'd never heard of. Boku posted it when we accused the tongue of having no juice.

That actually looks like it would be pretty fun with a lot of polish. Too bad Boku can't finish a game even if he's being paid for it.

>>182604791
Threatening a 7 year old, a laughs a fucking laugh, but this nutter needs to be monitored

>>182609771
Lol really? Chameleon Twist?

Yo Bokdev, what was the nature of that contract? We already laughed Altered Beast remake spaniard out of /vg/, after reading his lengthy but diplomatic "fuck off" message from sega.

Are you committed to selling x units? What cut will they take?

>>182610148
He also claims to have run over a "CIA nigger" on 9/9/1999. He will tell this to anyone who'll listen.
It's not clear if this is something that actually happened, though, because he insists the CIA nigger was glowing in the dark and was also a space alien.

>>182610181
/vr/ I meant, and where the fuck did that reddit spacing come from? wtf chan, you're falling apart.

>>182610181
An Altered Beast remake sounds dope.
But I'm pretty sure that anon was shitposting about boku buying the IP. Isn't he a broke flip?

>>182610426
Boku is claiming to have bought it. That could be an act too, who knows?

I need help ideaguying.

I'm making a gotcha-force/medabotslike or whatever the fuck you want to call it, but I can't think of good abilities. Basically you get three attacks or whatever, two from each arm, and one from your compound head/body section, as well as some movement related stuff from the legs. The leg stuff is passive and the other three are active tools the player switches between with the number keys or scroll wheel.The arms can be guns and melee weapons and stuff, but it's kinda hard to think up torso abilities.

I can think of good melee abilities, but for characters that have guns on both arms it's kinda hard to provide anything more creative beyond "giant gun in his chest". I could maybe just use it to give shooters a melee tool, assuming they're using arms that actually have open hands. Or I could do something radar related? Some weapons are heat-based instead of reload based, so I could make a gun that works with that and fires a laser that drains your heat or something, but I don't want the chest parts to all feel like "special attacks" or something.

>>182610634
Prototype it and see what feels fun to play, then expand on that.

brainlet here

whats the math behind the turn based system in oldschool rpgs? say its based on agility or speed or something, so sometimes someone gets a double turn.

>>182610743
I've got movement set up and I'm currently messing with menus, but I need to think of things that would be good prototype ideas. Everything I think of that would be good for ranged characters ends up being "big gun," and if I just test a bunch of those I won't get anything more than that really.

>>182610426
>>182610181
Clearly theres an NDA he hasnt posted it on twitter or to his kickstarter fans

>>182610895
just like read the wiki or forum posts

someone smarter and more autistic than you has already done the work

>>182610895
There are a lot of different systems, anon.
In Pokemon, everyone makes their decision at the same time, and then they're executed in order of Speed. This is pretty much the most generic system. Is that what you're asking about? It's just a simple sorting problem.

no clue who that is but that doesn't look like my game at all. I want to make a 3D Ribbert after I finish this but it wont play anything like that. I'd attempt to feel like SM64/Banjo-kazooie

>>182610895
Every game does it differently mate. The particular problem you mentioned has a ton of ways it could be done. Kinda funny you can't even think of one.

4 hours of devving today, but it wasn't very productive since I just fucked around aimlessly, I'm kinda dreading working on the next big feature since it's so tedious.

>>182611086
I haven't played Banjo-Kazooie but SM64 is unironically one of the greatest games ever made and I wish someone would rip it off in Current Year.

Why am I so lazy. At least I cleaned my room today.

>>182611259
He actually sent a letter to the president of Sega?
Did he at least write it in Japanese?

>>182611419
>Why am I so lazy.
Bad information about how discipline works.
Poor diet.
Poor sleep habits.
Poor exercise.
Too many distractions.
Etc.

>>182611448
I'm reminded of the time Edmund tried to get SMB on the Wii be calling Reggie directly

How can I be more disciplined?
>Poor diet.
Correct
>Poor sleep habits.
It's getting better
>Too many distractions.

Correct

>>182611231
My goal would basically be mix banjo/sm64 except add a tongue grapple swinging system. which is basically what I'm doing now except with klonoa/kirby

No its a texture trick.
Use two parallel plane meshes, and put the same repeating chain texture on them.
The small separation between the two textures gives the illusion of a solid chain fence when its really just the side of the other texture in the dark.
