/agdg/ - Amateur Game Development General

Reminder that there is no such thing as a "best" engine.
There is, however, a worst engine, and it is Gamebryo

How do you guys feel about JOUST?

>>183422821
You don't.

>>183422821
pick your defaults in a way that does not break your game when they are not set in the loading process

>>183422821
Make sure the save games from newer versions contain all information that the previous version requires?

>>183423267
nobody here has used either of those engines

>>183422851
Seems like pretty good movement

>>183423267

Cleaned up the wallrun a bit and put the animation for the other direction.

Going to work on making vaulting presentable and mayb e start looking into redoing the animations.

This is such an important step and one of the hardest at the same time (and not because i can't animate), because i'll have to lock down the pepsi-man design and make a proper rig for it and clean uvs nad materials.

Foray into materials in UE was fruitless, but at least i think i can remove some load and maybe use some cool effect on the lo-fi graphics i'm shooting for, now if only i could make any opf those material tutorials actually work.

I'm still uploading new pictures and shit (currently 3379 of 10239) so check back tomorrow to see the complete update.

That said, there's still a lot of garbage to weed out, and I wish someone would help me with that. I'm trying to create a comprehensive resource collection for agdg.

take old puzzle game and make that the minigame. something like Solomon's key would be fun. or find something really obscure. then everyone will think you're so original. avoid ones where it involves the player guessing, like a minesweeper type thing, or waiting, like the first deus ex. that shit is boring and involves no skill, and if you have to do it a lot that 's offputting. if you have to do it a small number of times that just makes it pointless.

it's probably someone who's completed a game but does the scope/publicity/success of it matter as well?

Any yesdev is an outlier compared to the amount of people who'd whine and complain no matter what engine they tried. GM is robust enough to make great games, and it's decently noob- friendly, even GML. I'd recommend to any new aspiring dev.

How many games do you think are attempted each year? On what order, 1000? 10k? 100k?

Next question, how many games do you think "succeed" each year?

Final question, take the second number and divide it by the first: how close to 0 is this?

That's not the point. I can use unity without paying right away, I can use ue4 without paying right away. If I don't like them I can move away and try something else.

You can't use gamemaker at all. You have to buy and only then you can see if you've wasted your money. This is terrible advertising for an engine that doesn't even use a proper programming language.

>>183436857
My guess is that they saw the huge amount of devs who just try out gamedev for a few months and then give up and decided to capitalize on that.
They probably didn't realize that the only reason why GM was so popular is because it was free to use, it doesn't have any redeeming qualities other than being popular.

The whole point of having unity and ue4 for free is to allow developers to go far into development to get a good grasp and to know if it will be viable for a product.

The trial version of gamemaker is literally useless unless you throw out of the window any programming concept and start using goto.

I couldn't think of any good 3D megaman style games, so I just started this the other day to see if I could make something good enough.
Like, there's tons of megaman clones, but I don't know of any full 3D megaman clones.

I'm basing the mechanics more off the general speed, controls, camera, etc. from the old X games.

I've played through X through X7.
X7 is slow, boring, ugly, badly voiced, poorly controlled, and sometimes even fairly broken.
I could at the very least fix the controls out of the above. Not sure about the others.

They completely lost their minds with the transition to 3D. It had none of the speed, tightness, or even decent progress that the other X games had.
I'm specifically going to be trying to avoid most of the shit it did, so I guess that's a form of taking inspiration.

Hi. Long time no dev. Is libgdx still the way to go?

I want to stop a revolver from firing until it finishes its cocking animation.
The most obvious way to do this is to have the anim blueprint tell the revolver blueprint when it can fire by setting a bool inside the revolver blueprint.

However, this seems like bad practice since it makes the functionality of the revolver heavily dependent on the anim blueprint. Is there a better way to do this that I'm not seeing?

Looks like you finally got what you want my man: your games are off Steam AND a bunch of people who'd never heard of you now think you're a colossal scumbag.

Now that you've accomplished your goals, why don't you stop throwing a tantrum and get to work on your next shoveltitle?

Can some give me some generic "booting up computer" text?

doesnt hurt anyone unless you're a retard and buy it at that price.

you'd be surprised how many steamcows think that any store they buy something on should have a steamkey, something steam actively pushes.
i provided an itchio coupon for Social Interaction Trainer (40cents) which was directed at Steam Users looking for an alternative to a $200 steam pricetag on a game that was being removed from steam....
someone bought it, complained to itchio about no steam key, when it was confirmed there is no steamkey they got their 40cents refunded.

Alright /agdg/ give me an idea for something I can 3D model to practice modeling so I can attempt to model it and then give up and never post the results.
