Rightio. You wanting detailed face too, or just the uniform?

>183185761
In itself it's good except for the odd shine (it's as if the heart has two evil-looking eyes). It looks maybe a bit too visceral for my game unfortunately.

The new skull is great though, thank you!

I'm making a pretentious 2D action game.

I'm genuinely considering implementing a "story" or "practice" mode where you simply cannot die during any of the encounters. Do you think this is worth it? Should there be some kind of limitation, like you don't get the true ending?

>>183195106
If you think your game will be played by pretentious 'not gamer' types, then it might be a good idea.

Though if all they care about is the story, giving them a bad ending would be a bitch move.

How can I properly export my asset so that the gizmo in UE4 stays in the center of every part of the said object?

>asset consists of 5 separate meshes

I heard I have to put it at 0,0,0 before exporting, but then I need to rebuild it in UE4 part by part. Is there a way to make it so that when I import it in UE4, I can drag and drop it around as one single object group, but I can still select and control separate parts? Because I need to rotate one part, too, so I can't just attach everything together in 3ds max.

>>183195336
I know but I have this crippling feeling that the only way my game will get any traction is by being a pretentious story driven game. Catering to retarded games journalists.

I suppose that's true about the ending. Maybe unlockables or other modes or something, or lock out achievements would be enough.

>>183195106
Just give the player a 0.1x multiplier to damage received and a 2x multiplier to damage dealt, and lock the true ending.

>>183195236
Which link other than homph should I use? Last thread used this one as well as the one before that.

>>183195106
Just add it, you'll get more bux from casuls while everyone else can play the game normally.

>>183195595
my bad, didn't notice you gave it its own greentext

>>183195394
If its a skeletal mesh then to my knowledge, no. But you can use child actor components or sockets depending on what you need.

>>183194861
For a second I thought I was in /v/ gamedev thread.

>>183195106
keep in mind the majority of players don't even get halfway through a game, and the overwhelming majority won't finish it
Hell, a fifth of players won't even play the fucking thing. Games on steam with an achievement in the first five minutes usually sit at around 80% of players actually getting it
So statistically your ending won't matter at all, especially since you're aiming for the pretentious indie crowd who don't even like games in the first place

I'm wondering about length too.

If you make a game that's 30-60 minutes is that going to be a deal breaker.

Obviously there's gameplay, so it's not like "The Chinese Room" garbage like Dear Ester where it's just a walking simulator.

>>183196053

If your game is under 2 hours it will get refunded.
If it's under 5, you'll get a lot of negative reviews unless it costs $5.

>>183196395

>>183196236
If you have a game for one playthough get at least 4 hours, I think that's good enough for one man indie game.

>>183196236
just make it easy to fail and have to restart, and you instantly quadruple the playtime
it works for every indie horror game, why not yours too?

also it depends on the target audience, cost, and quality. I'd be happy to pay 5 bucks for an hour long game if it's a really fun hour. Likewise your favourite journalist would pay for a sappy walking sim that ticks all the sjw boxes

>>183196526
I like to think that people won't refund a game that's a genuinely good time.

I think that most people refund short games because they were shit, and overpriced.

If I'm charging 5-10 for about an hour that's not terrible if the experience is good. Short games also lend themselves to be replayable.

>>183195106
Just add the Konami code like a normal person

>>183196306

Also, lots of people will abuse the system just because they can.

A Chinese friend once told me that Chinese companies will run an MMO for 6 months, then shut it down and sell it to another company. Then that company will change some of the assets and release it as a brand new game. They just keep buying and selling these because the Chinese keep playing them.

keep in mind they have a different financial model over there, where they don't pay subs to a game but pay the cafes with computers directly & the publishers work with the cafes on what's installed where. Some apartment leases come with free 6 months at neighboring cafes as perks instead of a pool or laundry washer/dryers indoors.

How do you know ahead of time if the shot is good? I've been wondering how Sniper Elite does it. If the projectile just moves in a straight line it's easy, but I'm assuming you have some kind of physics acting on the arrows.

What's the best way to get around that?
For example in the Sims there's hundreds of possible interactions. Would something like having generic states for the character (ie locked in place playing animation, moving to location, etc) then having the actual object handle the other stuff (creating other objects/particles, stat changes, etc) be the best way? Or is there another method?

It depends on the specific application.
Someone said it's probably in the event handler, and if that's the case it would be better to feed the event ID into some kind of database. You store all the dialogue for event X in a dictionary or something and then retrieve it when you need it, instead of hardcoding it directly into the event script.

So I just started making a mahjong game because I like mahjong. I use Unity and Blender for my models.
I made a simple model for a tile but I don't know how to be able to change the face value on Unity when I'll write the script that'll create all my tiles.
I tried to generate UV maps on Blender but since my model has 2 simple materials, when I unwrap and Export the UV layout into a png, I get a png with the 2 materials.
It's getting kind of confusing, so I guess what I wanted to do is make a prefab of what a basic tile with no value is like and then be able to change the back color and the face value in my scripts.

there's been so many reddit-tier posts in agdg lately

Being like [game] is not exclusively a bad thing.

I'd love to play games that are similar to other games that I've liked, I think you just need to distinguish it enough to not be a "clone".

All fighting games are eachother alike in some way, doesn't mean they are bad copies of the original fighting game or eachother, they're just similar.

You're not likely to find something that has never been done before, make something you want to make and play.

It's 2017, it's okay to use git with assets.

>>183203690
People can't see your code, nor are they going to compare feature lists between both games. If on the first glance your game looks just like that other game you'll have a hard time persuading people that it's not the same. IMO adding feature after feature isn't going to solve this because it's just going to be "[Game] with X", if it isn't too late try some cosmetic changes.

I tried making the wolf's head a bit smaller since it was starting to look very weird to me. What do you think? It's probably not very noticeable in-game, though.
As a result, I had to shrink down the player a bit, because it was starting to lose contrast with the wolves.

>>183210713
It's simply a matter of how I've been building the melee combat system. I'm probably a huge idiot and should have thought of this stuff from the beginning, but I didn't. Basically, calling a single melee attack has a lot of info, necessary info mind you. Things like the animation of the swinging of whatever it is, whether or not the hitbox needs to change, or what frame for the sprite, or even changing sprites entirely, what parts of the animation can deal damage, or have special visual effects, and even down to what moves you can combo into from that attack depending on how you're moving the stick. That's all in a single attack. It's only connected to one weapon though, meaning if I want to make dual wielding possible, all I have to do is call two different attacks at once, and ensure they're synchronized with their combo attacks and the like. They each have their own hit detection even, so each dual blade can deal damage, allowing you to double dip said damage. These two separate attacks, AKA swinging the left blade and the right blade, aren't connected in any way otherwise. Starting the combo is literally just, press a button which calls two different attacks at once. And because they weren't connected in any way, if one hit a wall and had to recoil, the blades would become desynchronized, and then it would look really off, and might even bug the player out.

In order to fix this, at first I was trying to think of a good way of telling both blades that they essentially had a bestie to look out for, and I wanted to make sure this was tied to the attack itself, rather than being something you had to slap on after calling the attack. I realized the easiest way to do this was, when the dual blade hit the wall, when it went into its recoil attack state, it would then go, "Hey, any other weapons out right now, who also have the same creator as me, go into a recoil state."

Implicit type conversions are confusing

You're definitely correct there. At first I was going with a combat system more akin to 2D Zelda titles, but I decided it was boring and moved more in a DMC/Dragon's Dogma direction, which required more variety and smoother animations. This either meant doing meticulous animations with tons of animation frames, or just rotating everything. I already have experience with designing 2D skeletal animation systems, so I went with what was familiar to me.

>>183213159
I actually did take inspiration fro Hitman for the controls. And that's a great idea, I'll implement it tomorrow.

..or game ENGINE I should say; if you're using a premade engine all the systems have been made for you already.

Why don't ppl use opengl on windows?

>>183215125
It is outdated and shit

Thank you very much. Dunno when nice art will happen.

>>183215175
Uh no. That USED to be the case, which is probably why most existing engines do this. But new engines have no reason to use DX on windows anymore instead of OpenGL, and most don't.

>tennis ARPG.
Coincidentally I've been trying to make a baseball robot. Except it isn't really a baseball robot, it just has guns plus a bat to knock people away with when they get too close.

I don't have any issue with people submitting bad, but honest, games to Steam.

The problem has been that submitting shitty games in large quantities was actually a profitable business model despite no one enjoying the games, hopefully the changes have fixed that.

What game should I make in the next 3 hours?

>>183216264
Dude, I spent years learning DX & HLSL, so in that sense I'm not even particularly happy.
And OpenGL's API is still runny diarrhea, but at least GLSL is a superior language. My engine is now happily GL-only and portability became so much easier, can't complain.
funny tho

Nice model, though I would increased the helmet size a bit.

Yeah, I want it to take up more space than the face does. Scaling it upward makes it look pinheaded though, and scaling it proportionally makes a big gap between the face and the sides, so I've gotta widen the face a little too. VN anon reminded me of some 3D madoka porn, I guess I'll go look for that since they have pretty wide faces.
