You used to only be able to use wooden stair blocks to go up now, not only can I place blocks that go up along a wall, but boku is able to go up 1 space up as long as a tile is up there so it doesn't always need to be wooden stairs.

So if 1MA is a pipe dream, why don't you guys get together and produce something only multiple individuals can make? Where else will you find a like-minded group of people like here?

what will i need for making/failing for my first game? i got unity and blender what else would i need and for it to do what?

>>183941538
this only proves my point.

A single guy won't be able to match such quality.

>>183941825
my bad, i didnt read the argument, i was just assuming i was being told that i was dumb for pointing out how intensive those sprites were

>>183941802
because most people here are 20 year something with not skill.

if they would be skilled they would be holding a job then hiring people to help them.

>>183941819
Make sure you have an itchio account so you can upload the game, get no downloads, then wrongly declare that site is to blame.

>>183941802
Because people prefer believing in a pipe dream.

At the end there's a very slight chance of becoming rich, and if that happens, nobody would want to share the cut with other fags from here.

>>183941802
Because everyone here wants to use Unity or UE4.
I'll only collab with someone using Godot.

Why do you need indie games to be AAA? Shut up. Too insecure about being an indie dev? Don't make a game, and go away.

Do you want someone to tell you you failed because you were 1MA? There's no way for us to know that. It's far more likely that you just aren't gifted or skilled or disciplined enough to make a simple game, which is a very fulfilling experience that you'll never have because being indie makes your penis feel small.

>>183942113
lol is that really a thing?

is your game kino?

I decided I'll distribute my engine's code as part of the game when it ships. From what I see there are two options:
1) Distribute the full source with the binaries, with a clause asking not to distribute them before a specific time has passed. This is what the handmade hero vaporware is doing, I think it'd work because those who have the knowledge to build such a project would probably not be the typical pirate scum.
2) Only give the engine and not the game specific code (I plan to reuse it for other kinds of games, so far it's been quite robust when tried with several types). Maybe do like id and distribute full source a few years later.

This is a pretty retarded question, but babby's first game (basically a mario clone, 2d platformer) so I'm trying to figure this out; am I supposed to have a box collider for each tile on the ground? Will having a figurative billion (couple hundred probably?) 2D box colliders impact the game's performance any? Tutorials I've seen so far just have the guy taking one tile and stretching it to make the floor.
This is Unity, if it matters any

Do people gave a fuck about the new game of Pixel?

He's remembered by Cave story, he though he could make it as a 1MA.

But he was famous because his game was the first.

But now, his games are simply another pixelshit platformer.

Most of the public will see AAA games and then will, because they WILL, compare your indie shit with games made by AAA companies.

Do anyone outside indiedevs care about indie games made by 1MA?

Have you seen them at the E3?

No.

>>183942683
I want to say nothing because there are plenty of engines out there that are subpar too but I don't see why that'd prevent them from being distributed. However mine builds very fast and the source is very clear and hackable for games that use 2D foregrounds with 3D backgrounds.

Pretty much anything other than unity or UE handles tilemaps in a efficient way. GM2 supports multiple tile layers, with no actual need for collision masks if you are clever with your code. I would assume godot probably does too.

It's the least efficient way to deal with bitmasking, it's essentially link below, but with the diagonal values added aswell, and then they had to be mapped to a tileset I already had, so I just spaghettied it manually.

It's actually suppa simple:
1- Take this sprite (Each 12x12 square is one sub-image)
2- Center the origin (6x6)
3- Create an object with that sprite as its sprite index
4- Put this on its draw event:
for(var i=0; i<image_number; i++) {
draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, i, x, y-(0.5*i), image_xscale, image_yscale, image_angle, image_blend, image_alpha);

Preparing 3D assets is more complex and time consuming than creating 2D assets. But 3D assets are much more flexible than 2D. Meaning that once you do have those 3D assets, you can do a lot more with them than you can with 2D ones.

So yeah, I'd say its worth it.

2D is more laborious than 3D, anon.

Why do you think the game industry shifted to 3D in the 90s? Because its more cost-effective.

>>183945381
They switched to 3D because it was the current year.

>>183945381
3d may scale better for large teams, but for 1mas and small indies, 2d is simpler and cheaper. 2d has the advantage of translating directly from photoshop to your engine, without worrying about rigging, texturing, etc.

Spore would've been great if they'd taken all the resources they invested in the rest of the game and focused it on making the creature stage good. It was already the second-most robust stage despite being largely devoid of content, and it was the primary selling point of the game.

I don't think you can do it as a 1MA unless you're already proficient with procgen, though.

Instead of using box colliders, use edge colliders in the shape of a box. They work much better for some stupid reason. Don't forget to place the first point again for the fifth point in the box, or it won't close fully.

Late to the party but 36y old here.

If you people want to go that way then do it, it's your life. Just don't raise your expectations too high unless you feel really lucky.

Hopoo just got lucky.
Minecraft just knew how to perfect marketing the normies.
Stardew valley had already a fanbase during development

Yes, it's a bit more awkward than 3D though because you don't have geometry to give hints for how shit should be lit.

It's objectively wrong to state you cannot have 2D geometry determine how lightning should behave.

Doesn't change from 3D, if you have non flat boundaries in 3D you will have non flat boundaries in 2D too and you can have the same sort of tooling to generate normal maps for example (they'll just be 1D).

3D geometry that's already in a shape that makes sense. Don't try to tell me you can just slap in 2D assets in and get out shadows that make sense without having to fudge things a bit.

It's not super difficult though, hence "a bit"

>>183955034
Awkward as in you have to think about it differently than just "slap light on 3D models"

>>183955098
just look at the showcase page in the site or something, if you want agdg games then see the jams

>>183955327
>Don't try to tell me you can just slap in 2D assets
You can if you design 2D like you do for 3D (eg piecewise meshing) and not just some sort of tilemap like it's usual. That would be like pretending you can't have complex lightning in 3D because you're only using cubes.

Finally started working out how some stats will affect attacks. Three stats affect attacks, being agility, strength, and dexterity. While agility will always have the same speed modifier on all attacks, it will be different for strength and dexterity, depending on the attack/weapon. Like the modifier for strength will be much higher for a great sword, where as the modifier for dexterity will be higher for a rapier. All attacks and weapons can go up to double speed, but in order to do this, you must max out those three stats, no matter the weapon, though the gains could be miniscule for dex for say that great sword mentioned earlier. With this gif we're just punching. The number above the player is the agility, which as you can see changes the speed of the attack.

It's good to be broken of the silly idea that there are "bests" without specifying what exactly your needs are (and even then it's probably not cut and dry).

>>183955287
But when you create 3D, you do it by specifying the geometry.
When you create 2D, you do it by drawing a flat image. How could the computer know the imaginary geometry of that flat image without you just telling it?

>>183955810
>Why do you think SMB got popular exactly?
Because it's a difficult game with tight controls. It's not "complicated" at all, and its simplicity is part of its appeal.

>TBOI, in my personal opinion, is boring as shit.
Nobody cares about your opinion. People liked the game because it was fun, original, and dirt cheap, not because it had poop jokes.

>>183954624
If you're using GMS2 already, you should be using it for 2D and not 3D, if that's what you're asking.

3D is still a janky tacked on thing and you're better off using Unity or whatever.

>>183955167
Most suited then? I'm just doing sprites so far so it has to be 2D

real time per-sprite lighting in 2D looks like fucking garbage and you should kill yourself if you think otherwise

>>183955985
NO engine is best suited for something as vague as the amount of graphical dimensions, if you asked specifically about platformers or VNs for example then you could narrow down your choices a bit more.

>>183955327
Now that you mention it even 2D PBR would be at worst the exact same than in 3D since as you mention you don't have to take the shape into account. So the point is I don't get how you can consider it more "awkward" (maybe we don't refer to the same thing by awkward?). But at least >>183954849 made me kek.

>>183955896
>How could the computer know the imaginary geometry of that flat image without you just telling it?
The same way it does for 3D. You refer to geometry the object's boundary. Lightning in 2D is done by acting on the object's boundary too, it's not a square image, it's its content that matters. Its 1D boundary won't be perfectly flat unless you have something polyhedral, but that goes for 3D too.

Yes that is what I was saying.

RPG Maker makes more sense for if you want to make a very specific type of RPG... and even then it's got some annoying limitations (which can supposedly be handled with scripts but people always make it sound hard. Maybe they're just bad at coding because they're using RPG Maker if the first place).

It more than likely will be far easier to maintain. I'm always afraid to use state machines for the player because I worry it will cause the controls to be far more rigid than I'd like.

>>183956178
>Lightning in 2D is done by acting on the object's boundary too, it's not a square image, it's its content that matters.

I'm referring to the lightning of 2D manifolds the same way as you light 3D manifolds. Check "2D normal maps", it can light the inside of the object too but the things I was referring to were for boundaries.

You can jump, too, but you need to find an upgrade. It's super clunky because the movement is grid-based.
I think all of LISA's mechanics, including the side-scrolling, were created using scripts written by other people, which is why it's a clunky mess. Dingaling isn't actually a very good game designer.

The most recent version of RPG Maker exposes most of the code governing gameplay in Javascript, so you can rewrite it if you want to, but it's totally uncommented so I gave up on trying to understand it and moved on to engines that don't suck.

If you make an effort to dissect these sorts of propaganda images you will start to notice that there are two attributes that will never ever feature in them.
1) A straight white male. Usually white males are completely excluded, but if they are there then they will inevitably be gay or have a disability of some sort or in this case, gay AND disabled.
2) Any sort of representation of normal masculinity. You will never see one of these sorts of characters will a muscular build, non-effeminate body language or masculine facial features.

The '# world' categorization system is a hold over from the USSR/PRC days when capitalism and commies were jostling for influence.
1st world = Influential capitalist nations in America and Europe.
2nd world = Commie nations.
3rd world = Non aligned nations with no significant influence in the commie/capitalist feud.

These days the groups are broken down into a new system
Core/developed nations = Rich capitalist countries e.g. US, EU, Russia.
Secondary or developing nations = Somewhat influential nations that are gaining wealth and power on their way to core nation status e.g. China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Malaysia etc.
Periphery nations = Shit nations that are poor, irrelevant, undeveloped and stagnating compared to secondary nations e.g. Most of Africa and South America.
