I know it's not unique it just really sucks. Why will I have the will power to spend hours upon hours on bullshit, but when I have the right plan there's no desire to execute it?

Thanks for making the real thread.

I spent way too long (like 2 days) modeling and rigging a first draft of the character for my game.

But whatever, I got it done. Gonna make some key poses to block shit out better.
Also just feels nicer to use a real character instead of a capsule/box even when greyboxing everything else.

Active participation. The idiot would do exactly what codecademy or whatever instructs them to do, while the erudite programmer would be pausing at each lesson, and experimenting with their new knowledge on some toy calculator/calendar/bullshit thing. Like you start with a program that tells you what 2+3 is, next you have it ask you what numbers to add, then next have it ask what numbers/operation to use with checking against div by 0, next you have it ask if you want to calculate something or check the date, etc.
This is the proper way to "take notes" on what you learn in programming

these were posted last thread and i didnt see them till thread was dead but

it wasnt just animation; since I had to do animation AND modelling I had no time to do anything else and I was extremely pressured to put out animations for characters while i was modelling other ones which put almost all of the artistic workload on myself

when i realized we needed ~1000 frames of animation per character and at least one character fully complete just for a substantial presentable prototype, I wasn't up to the task.

the new project gives me much more artistic freedom and leniency and I can focus more on modelling while I produce animations that can be reused as placeholder for every developed character.

it's also much more difficult to make a competent fighting game as an indie project considering the standards.

this isnt an issue of me hopping genres and giving up easily, it was just that we picked the wrong genre to start with

File: shields.gif (456KB, 732x536px) Image search: [Google]

456KB, 732x536px

Have some late night progress. Got the basics of a shield working. The way it works is a shield hitbox hovers over the character holding the shield (being this weird looking guy currently.) The weapon first checks to see if it touched a shield. If it did, it adds the owner of the shield to the do not damage list (usually reserved for enemies already hit by this particular attack). If it doesn't touch a shield, then it checks to see if it hit an enemy like normal. Because of this, attacks at the correct angle and with the right hit box can bypass shields. Different attacks might use different hitboxes to detect shields though. For example, a spear, despite the fact that its only damaging portion is the tip, would use a full body hitbox for the shield to ensure it doesn't mystically pass through the shield to damage the enemy when stabbing. However, something like this scythe might use a blade only hitbox for shields, because it could have an attack which intentionally moves behind the target and yanks into their back, and so if the staff part of the scythe is touching the shield, we want this attack to still hit. I'm unsure how to handle shield hit animations or things like that at the moment. For now I'm assuming if an attack hits a shield, it's not interrupted, though this may change depending on the shield, weapon, and attack in the future.

Use those neural network image recognition things to make a scavenger hunt game, the app tells the player to find several random objects and he has to point at them with the phone's camera to let the app recognize it.
I guess it's not really AR but AR sucks anyway.

>>183796687
Great, need more ideas before I prototype them

>>183796909
>AR sucks anyway
Apple made that Arkit available for devs which is why I ask. It's actually better than Vuforia and costs less than wikitude; not to forget it implements slam tech so the characters are actually on a surface (unlike Pokemon go where it just superimposes the model in air over the camera in an overlay and doesn't constitute as actual AR)

How would you make an acceleration/deceleration system in 3D based on the player's input?

Write lots of trash code that does one neat thing you couldn't do before. It doesn't matter how simple the task is, even if it's just asking the user for some sort of number and spitting it back at them through console. Coding is like art in that the worst approach is to care a lot about making something good rather than just producing volume at the beginning. Start with python so you don't have to worry about too much syntax, then move to c++.

What does it look like now?
How much do you charge per model?

He could have easily left out the hand drawing over the models for later and just animated the model itself.

I want a little advice. I'm working on a third person shooter-style game and while I have super basic movement working (8-way run and locked on strafing) I'm planning on including a cover-system.

The problem is I'm a complete novice to getting objects to interact (I'm not even sure my camera controller and character controllers are currently interacting at all, or if they're just working together blindly) and I'm not sure how to implement checks on terrain (I haven't been able to get jumping to work correctly either because I haven't been able to get the character controller to recognize if it's on the ground or in the air).

How would I go about implementing zones for snap-to cover? Would it be better to set them up as part of the terrain or make wall assets have attached to them various snap-to points I can tweak later based on placement?

It's hard to say because I don't know what you're working in and what it is exactly that you want but I would guess that making some trigger volumes or something attached to your cover would be a good start. You need something in place to check if players are in a position that constitutes cover.

>>183826885
The 'hand placed vs automatic detection' thing is something that comes up in a lot of games, really you're the only that knows which will be best.
Hand placing triggers seems easier to begin with, but the more areas which need it, the more work it becomes, and the more likely you are to miss an area where the player feels they should be able to take cover but can't.

I went to a speech by the Dying Light devs who said their initial prototypes had trigger boxes for every single ledge/object to tell the character which types of actions should be performed, then they scrapped it all for automatic detection.
When I was doing a similar first person parkour thing I decide from the start to do automatic detection because there was no way in hell I'd be able to manually mark every edge to grab.

I've been so focused in making it smooth that this completely went over my head.
I think it's just a matter of curves, I'm trying it out again and there's a noticeable difference.

I created a UE4 project using C++ First Person Shooter as the basis. Why is this...

static ConstructorHelpers::FClassFinder<APawn> PlayerPawnClassFinder(TEXT("/Game/FirstPersonCPP/Blueprints/FirstPersonCharacter"));
DefaultPawnClass = PlayerPawnClassFinder.Class;

...in the constructor of the AMyGameMode example? When I swap it for this...

DefaultPawnClass = AMyCharacter::StaticClass();

...the mode doesn't seem to spawn an AMyCharacter, but rather some fallback class that doesn't have any components attached.

So where the hell is "/Game/FirstPersonCPP/Blueprints/FirstPersonCharacter" coming from? C++ First Person Shooter doesn't define any character blueprint.

The pathfinding algorithm isn't fucked, the actual movement code is. The algorithm finds the path to the player pretty well. That's all that matters for today.
I'm going to sleep and tomorrow I'll finish this part of the code so it works acceptably in chasing the player.

After that, I'll make the critters kill the player on collision and yet after that, I'll make the game load levels from files.
Hopefully, then we can get some real gameplay going.

Yes, I know that the blocks change their graphics when you push them. This, too, shall pass.

2k is like early-mid PS2 era, I'm pretty sure the models in timesplitters 2 were less than 2k and they dont look lowpoly at all to me

also the head especially in that model has a lot of polygons that wouldnt be necessary if it were truly looking to be "low poly"

23k isnt high poly but it's more like mid-high poly, that's like mid-late xbox 360 era stuff. thats about as many polygons as most sonic generations models have

A broken wrist is more of a "learn to 3D" issue.

I want to do a 2D rpg with modular clothing. I can handle the art but what do you reckon the best way to handle the character sprites? Draw them in their underwear and have the clothes over the base model? Would that be a nightmare to code or cause unnecessary issues?

bugs.. easy on the carrots

>>183837024
Yeah. It's something that's often excluded from examples for some reason, but it's important since it fixes that issue where the wrist turning over 90 degrees causes it to collapse.

By having a joint in the middle of the forearm, you can have the weight spread more so you can rotate the wrist 90 degrees, then the forearm like 45 to achieve more motion.
Like I said though, it can be a pain for working with an IK chain though. I don't know a good handle rig for it for animating.
Should be fine for FK though.

I haven't tried the "Z stylus" on it, and reviews seem to show it being pretty shit, but I'm very happy with my (android) asus zenpad 10 in general. But I think if I was doing art, latency of any sort would bother the fuck out of me, and you see that even in higher end tablets. I'd go for a wacom style thing for art.

Unless you are doing something more basic animation wise, so that swapping sprites doesn't involve more animation work.

Yes.
Just enabling and disabling them as part of the attack script, then turning all of them off when switching to a new state or when the attack ends.

That way I can just turn off their rendering material and use them for triggering shit once I get in something to hit.

GMS2fag question

any ideas how I can use object collision to change ds grid values? for example if there is an item object present in one slot on the grid to change a corresponding ds grid value to 1 to signify that the slot is taken. I need to be able to rotate items and move items around which is why I'm trying to do it this way

My thought is with expansions/criteria met for the city inside snake, the snake gets bigger or gets enhancements that allow its view to expand, so to avoid crashing into yourself you need to citybuild cleverly. Maybe some buildings produce waste that is problematic so you want to install vents, but also you'd like to work on building legs to step over the easy basic resources.
An initial "story" being two characters, the snake and maybe a mouse who gets eaten, but then the mouse decides to make a new life for himself as mayor inside this snake and they start working together and get bigger and eventually instead of dirt and rock, the snake/dragon is eating planets???

It will take a while. Unless you get lucky and some big Twitter person retweets your stuff. But keep at it and you will eventually gain a decent following. It will continue to grow as your game progress as well.

If it's the latter, disable collision between the spawned object and the player until it moves out of the player's bounds. You probably also need to do something similar between all the spawned objects since they're created at such a high rate.

Even if you don't use an engine, you'll most definitely be using some libraries, even if it's against your will. I mean good luck rolling your own graphics library with drivers for every graphics card in existence.

I just copied chunks. I suspected there was some sort of syntax there though, so what's the encoding? my cryptanalysis is rusty

It is brainfuck, a programming language

Thanks, anon. I'll do my best. Hope I get to se Helleton reborn some day too. Still one of my favorite agdg games.

As I suspected I had changed player's walking speed but didn't check the speed the camera was moving at all. It's fixed now,

Also testing new tiles I made for the houses' stairs, still need a little tweaking here and there though.

making animations for meme game.
sorry for low-quality webm.

>>183849892
What is fixed? The jittering? Because it is not.

>>183849728
That's where you're wrong kiddo. All you have to do is define an interface for an nonexistent library (which you may or may not code in the future), then you can code your game on top of it.

That's really fucking gay

lookin good

>>183849518
my camera follows the player movement, not the other way around. Am I retarded?

>>183850012
where's robuttnik

>>183849518
that's a very bad and dumb redditor way to think of it.

you just need to know that for 3D, all rendering must take place in clip space, and in 2D all rendering must take place in screen space. so if you have coordinates outside of those you need to transform them to fit inside, and scroll the transform to move the "camera". That's all a camera is, a scrolling transform.

>>183850021
Is it really still there? I have been looking this so much I can't even tell anymore.

>>183849518
That would be inefficient. It would be much easier to make your renderer to support camera position

do flash games posted on sites like addictinggames make the devs money?

Thanks, anon. I will keep updating you on the progress of meme game
>>183850363
I consider adding Robotnik from aosth as a summon for gwonam.

>>183849892
Nah anon there's still jitter.
This is a sign that you need to step away for a little while and come back with fresh eyes. Go make yourself a coffee.

>>183850510
He's not fucking with you; it's still not fixed.

>>183841905
You've worded this really confusingly. If im reading it right, you'll just need to perform some type of collision check eg collsion_rectangle or similar then just use a simple ds_grid_set(gridname,cell_x,cell_y,data). Sorry if ive misinterpreted this.

>>183850672
Seconding this. Are all the frames on that mc sprite alligned correctly?

>>183849892
>guy whose assets are all knocked off can't even tell when his game is fucking jittery as fuck
wowwwwwww a little plagiarist piece of shit seems to also be a dumb ass color me surprised

time to update log and post sum progress--

+interactable, lootable lockers: they can have specific or randomized item inside. (inspired by typical american school lockers)

+deleted the old shit basic and buggy enemy and started working on zombie.
it's very basic at the moment but it's still thousand times better than the old one. side note: working on ai is REALLY hard

-next up more level stuff (more rooms and secret areas)
-some kind of exit room (maybe teleport out or something)
-more chromosomes for the zombie

-menus

-new hud icons for weapons, they're ugly, items are ok

>falling for the abstraction must make a language gud meme

>>183849892
i can also confirm the jitter is still there

>>183824581
I'm guessing this isn't viable then

>>183849892
95% chance the solution is somewhere in that thread I linked you, dogg. Give it a look or don't, I guess.
