Show your money

How are levels like the house in resident evil 7 made? Is it all a single object (like you would do in archviz, extrude all the walls etc.), or is everything modular? In that case, how do you accomplish it so that it doesn't look modular?

They probably plan the outlay of the room/level beforehand and then build the necessary assets and place them accordingly to the plan.

Shit like that seriously pisses me off.

Why do people get so mad at the idea that an artist might not want to collaborate with them. Wouldn't you just go looking for another artist who does want to work with you, instead?

>>183999198
You generally split it up so that objects which aren't visible can be culled for performance.

There are all sorts you can to do hide modularity.
Vertex painting layered materials and placing decals to hide texture repeats. Having some variants of the 'same' segment (e.g. a 3x1 wall, or a 3x1 with a hole and exposed wood inners) or hand placing unique meshes over the top.

>>183999928
I would assume they value money, since they are not willing to pay for an artist that they don't even need yet.

>>183999926
its not about wanting an artist, its about laughing at faggot artists who act like some precious snowflake.

I wish agdg would stop talking about money all the time. Boy as this palce changed. Years ago it was jsut about making games and some goofing around, these days its mostly about "how do I make money guys, how do I kickstart, how do I pander to people?" and all the variant of collab/1MA shit.

Just like make fucking game, if you dont want to do amateur stuff then why the fuck are you here, seek real contact or find real videogame jobs.

>>183999926

Hm, it does work when I make it moveable, although the radius is a lot shorter. Do you know why stationary doesn't work, though? I heard those are the best, and moveables have the worst render time.

And I could swear the shadows worked before, but I don't know what could have I changed.

Offtopic old web comic.
In America in some schools they taught us to defend ourselves by saying "Please stop" to bullies instead of always running to the teacher or getting in fights. This meant you could say "Please stop" to anyone who was disagreeing with you and sometimes it would work because they were afraid to get in trouble for bullying you
>please stop not giving me your toy
>please stop not liking me
It actually worked, usually against girls because they're afraid of getting in trouble

Shadows exist when I use that spotlight in the left hall. But if I put a stationary point light in a scene, all shadows dissapear.

This is how it looks like with 2 moveable point lights and a spotlight, shadows are pretty fucked up too for some reason.

>>184003561
Moveables have the worst render time because they provide dynamic shadows.

To the anon who asked what "SFML Game Development by example" is like yesterday:

It's not that good of an overview afterall, it doesn't give any information about vertexes,vertex arrays and UV transformations,so you can forget about learning how to do particle effects out of the book and importing tmx tiles through tmx lite efficiently. The book is fat because the guy abstracts everything, even the window class, but its scope is actually smaller than the 250 page SFML Game Development book.
The only plus side of the book I found is that it uses an entity component system instead of the hierarchical inheritance based entity system, but you can learn that from online tuts anyway.

>>184006412
Off the top of my head I would:
Select the wheel while looking at it with the crosshair, mark the XYZ coords your crosshair is aiming at (raycast)
in update as crosshair moves left or right, rotate the wheel by a percentage that is proportionate, you will need to tweak it for proper sensitivity.

If you don't know how to select things with crosshair in FPS or aren't raycasting from the camera already, this might sound over your head.

You are now starting to realize what Unity is all about.

>>184006861
Yeah that's what I have so far, I'm just trying to figure out how to make this all work in 3d space. The wheel will only rotate around the y axis, so I need to find a way to only take the relevant movement of the crosshair to that axis.

What some might consider mental illness or attention whoring is actually an individual body of consciousness giving it's physical form up for the enjoyment of non-physical entities. The same way a car being let go by it's driver to be steered by the fates, letting gravity take over, mechanisms in the car take over, the car will crash. With humans the mind is inhabited and controlled by what the patient considers external thoughts and forces (demons) and crashes.

By institutionalizing such peoples' with drugs you can profit from and proliferate demon possession.

I made all of this up.

Is there any way you can turn a skeletal mesh into a static mesh dynamically in ue4 ?
I know you can pose them and then turn them into a static mesh in editor but I'm looking to do that in real time depending on which frame the animation is. Making a static mesh for every frame would just be inefficient, time consuming and would take a lot of space for not much.

Something like
Update()
if(grabbed){
Vector3.distance between the point you grab the wheel at and where your cursor currently is
Wheel transform.Rotate(Vector3.right * distance);
}

Damn that is some ugly metacode
And you probably already realized all this

If you were one of those devs who downloaded Godot to poke at it and not like but say

An attempt was made in creating the first boss's idle animation, didn't really know what to do with the feet rocks though. Ended up deciding to go with remaking the first boss instead of fixing up the ice boss. I also modified the hit effect for large enemies because when it flashes mostly white at this size it starts to bother my eyes after a bit. It gets arms in later phases.

Second half of the progress.
The point where this webm stops is about halfway through the level. It'll be followed by a miniboss fight and a minecart segment about as long as the first half (but of course, on a minecart so you're moving twice as fast).

Any thoughts on changes to the player motion that should happen?
I was thinking maybe the dash should last longer.

I've been struggling for literally like 3 days on the hair and I feel like shit about how long this model has taken me to complete, so many design shop setbacks and the hair was simply infuriating to tackle and find a good design for

went with a sort of heihachi-like wings design to accentuate swiftness as a trait of skating, felt like putting anything in the back would draw attention away from the shape of the hair and clutter it so I left it mostly flat, only contouring to the wings' split

It's the same as how just knowing how to drawn humans with perfect anatomy doesn't mean anyone is going to like your art, because it's boring to look at. nothing creative about it

Then simply don't allow the player to dig pits.
That prototype looks too flat for pits, anyway. You can't usually dig them in top-down games not named Dwarf Fortress.

>>184020980
That mentality itself is the reason you suck.
First of all, your creativity is influenced by the kind of music you listen to.
Second, no, japs for example aren't born with some "good vidya music gene". They're good at it precisely because they DON'T buy into that inborn talent mentality. They strive to better themselves rather than being convinced they have some upper bound of skill they can't exceed.

Vidya music is probably the easiest type of music to make, since it just needs to be there as background noise and doesn't really need to be good or memorable in away way. On the other hand, if you manage to shit out something that sounds decent, people will associate their positive game experiences with the music and put it on a pedestal e.g. the mario tune or all the generic orchestral tracks from various FPS and RPGs.

Watch every Ongaku Concept video on youtube. He's a filthy weeb, but it really helped me break through that big barrier of having no fucking clue how music works.

You're actually not replying to me lol im glad my idea spawned a discussion tho. im stealing everything you two wrote.

This interests me. Can you tell me more about this project?

oh well. Looks good, dude.

>background noise and doesn't really need to be good or memorable in away way
Well that's just plain wrong.
Don't know how someone can even be this idiotic.

>>184021695
>Then simply don't allow the player to dig pits.
That still leaves a plot hole.

>>184021206
>i don't know what a sapient is
It just means intelligent/thinking, e.g. a humanoid monster with low-level intelligence.

Bam progress
- Spend a couple of day trying to get the pixel perfect scaling for monitors with odd resolutions like mine(1360x768)
Progress on that was additionally hampered by hot weather, but in the end I realized it was too complicated for its worth and I ended giving up on that, I'll just have to deal with the minor distortion in full screen.
- Made a wip main menu and logo and did more then a few graphical changes, including the player sprite and test level background, also added some sounds for the menu.
- Got the game pause and a proper pause menu working, though it'll require some additional tweaking as always.
- Super mode is now called Eclipse Burst (EB for short) and grants you additional two streams of bullets. Also entering EB creates a small blast around the player that can destroy smaller projectiles.
- Added a "trigger finger" mechanic that allows you to increase your firing rate for a couple seconds if you tap the shoot button very quickly a few times. Though I'm not sure if it's really beneficial, I'll see if I can implement it in another way.
- Made simple energy/power bars that I hope to replace with better looking sprites
- Implemented a combat rank system that increases as you deal damage, but slowly decreases over time and drops sharply if you take direct damage. There are 6 ranks that act as score multipliers, though I'll see if I can use them for something else as well.
- Tweaked a lot of other small things, for example a speed modifier that slows you down significantly allowing for more precise movement.
Honestly I just want to start working on the enemies and their patterns.

You mean those that are touching the wall? Yeah, I need to redo it all, didn't even UV it properly, it looks disgusting.

This is what it looks like atm, I'm adding the decor at the bottom and top of the walls. Not sure how to do it properly, it is separated from the interior mesh now, so I have to manually put it exactly in place.

google "the witness"

Did some spray donut glaze all over the walls and floor?

>>184022093
I dunno the answer to the first question but the answer to the second question is Hopoo.

>>184022304
I don't know, maybe it's too much, but the walls and parquet in reference are also pretty reflective.

>>184021953
It's the truth. You've listened to countless hours of generic orchestral, pop and ambient music while playing video games and maybe 1% of it is of a quality that you would want to sit down and listen to, let alone play on a radio station.

Video game music being memorable is a happy bonus for the creator, realistically it doesn't need to tick any boxes expect "not annoying" and "sets the right mood, if needed". Music is the least important part of the video game experience and the last thing a player cares about.

>>184022094
Good stuff, anon. Been following since your first post. I really appreciate all off the work you are putting into your game. We can never have enough shmups honestly!

>>184022556
I want to say you're wrong but I'm pretty sure you're actually right.

The Witness dev was here? I don't see it mentioned on this link

Music was the most memorable thing for me in TES games for example.
