>>184072704
type* name always seemed more intuitive.
For example, int* name seems like it's declaring a variable of type "pointer to int", whereas int *name seems like it's declaring an int called "*name". But that's just me being a tard I guess.

>>184072901
Heavily depends on the type of game, type of styling you're going for, etc.

If you're really that barren for ideas just look at some games in the same genre...

Anyone know what's supposed to go in here? This is an enemy's healthbar.
For the player's healthbar I have 'Get Player Character' and it works and it's the same exact setup as this but casted to the FirstPersonCharacter. But what about for non-player characters?

Trying to search for terms like 'actor', 'object', the name of the object itself, 'self', 'get', the object class, etc., don't bring up anything that works.

>>184074070
>std::shared_pointer
it's std::shared_ptr, btw, and you should default to unique_ptr unless it actually needs to be shared.

As always, progress is slow. Latest development is a properly panning camera, it wasn't intended for the main map but I quite like the effect regardless and might keep it here. I also managed to fix a few minor things.

Theres so much groundwork that has to be laid for this dumbass battle system, but I'll get there evntually.

Do visual novels count as games?
if so, ive spent the last two days coding shit in renpy.
its relaxing, but im nowhere near as good at writing as i always liked to think i was.

>>184076886
In my mind visual novels only count as games if they have more interactivity than just text choices.

>>184077282
yeah, im not cool enough to have any real gameplay in there.
im trying to write it so the choices actually do effect shit, since theres nothing i loathe more than VN's where the player isnt given any effect on the plot, but its probably gonna become a really tangled tree the more i try to add.

Numerically it's bigger than ever in terms of number of devs, number of games, budgets of "indie" games. Maybe the buzz has died down. But be careful that you're not extrapolating a personal shift of viewpoint into an industrywide trend. If you got your start any time since the indie boom, you're gonna be biased towards the year you started. Same goes if you were in high school or college during the indie boom, your perception will be skewed.

There are real trends at play here, of course.http://www.lostgarden.com/2016/11/autumn-of-indie-game-markets.html

its really crazy how you dont realize just how massive something is until youre literally right there
too bad the planet thing wont work unless i can squeeze a little more draw distance out of android. i ended up losing the ship i was fooling around with because of that
i know it looks really shitty from the video but for some reason its different when youre there

also any unity devs have experience with usb controllers and android? i cant get the triggers to work and the right analog stick is all kinds of fucked. ive tried both the combined and individual axis for the triggers as well as both the windows and linux versions of the axis

Made it so player-inputted numbers have a different font from game-generated numbers. Still need to add pencilmarks and figure out how they'll fit into the UI.

>>184079869
No idea if this will solve your problem, but you should use *= -1 instead of setting it to -1. If your scale was originally .5, setting it to -1 would make it twice as wide.

Predictive lookahead pathfinding seems to work - the ship is too snappy but it wouldn't make it through otherwise - don't intend to have anything that clustered in the game anyways.

Oh shit, hold on a second. The patent for Sudokube ran out. Hell, I'm pretty sure patents don't protect naming conventions anyway.

https://patents.google.com/patent/GB0609242D0/en?q=sudokube&assignee=Alford+David+C

I'll have to do some research on whether or not I can take that name. I'd love to, since that was the original name for the project.

When I'm calculating an angle between two vectors in Unity, is there a way to determine if it's a negative angle?

>>184082876
Trademarks protect names

>>184083212
Here's a hint: an angle -x is equivalent to the angle 360 - x
You want to wrap the difference between the angles to between -180 and 180

>>184083212
what's the problem you're trying to solve?

>>184083328
This is using degrees of course, radians would be 2 * pi instead of 360

spent hours to draw a 4 frame running animation and it's not even that great.

what is your main priority while deving??
getting the core gameplay element out?
just do whatever you feels like doing??
i felt like i lack focus and have no idea what i should work on first.

Why does the catalog show me /egg/ when I search for /agdg/?

>>184083767
get the core VALUE of your game done. for most of us here, that's the gameplay. if your game's main value is the art and it's a paint by numbers genre game, you can get the art right first.

>>184088663
The problem isn't the X with Y idea, the problem is that you have nothing beyond that. A real game designer can twist an interesting new take out of nearly any game idea whether it exists or not. Ideaguys can't because they only think of a surface description of the game and can't create new ideas.

>>184089424
It's incredibly unlikely that someone has made a game that's so close to your concept that you have a reason to get demotivated, unless your game concept is a shallow surface description of basic ideas rather than a properly designed game concept. If this happens "every time", then that is, as said, a dead giveaway that you can't do real game design.

Never said it was the whole game, just individual parts or mechanics and it doesn't really matter, it's up to me to use it in my game how I want.

Never said this happens. It's just that "ah dang I though I was special" feeling, but I only got myself to blame for thinking that.
>real game design
Never said I'm an expert, but this is amateur game dev general after all.

Been trying to work out how exactly I'm going to calculate enemy damage. Right now I'm punching enemies, and punching deals bludgeoning damage. All the enemies have 100 health. Spinning shield guy is weak to bludgeoning damage, so he dies pretty quick (when his shield ain't being punched instead.) The not octoroks have a little bit of bludgeon defense, but they still die pretty fast. The scarecrow (tit flower, whatever you want to call it) has a huge amount of bludgeon defense, so it takes forever to die from getting punched.

get_node() does not create new instance of the node. The only way to create new instance is via instance() function of the Node class and diriatives.
But what for are you needing a new instances of the existing node?

Just fixing up the spazzing egg to see if a new concept of it will work.

I think it will.

So I have an abstract Interactable class, which my Interact script accesses via clicks and raycasts. Problem is that I want some interactions to happen with just a click and for others to work with click and drag. I know the rough and dirty way to make this work properly, but is there an elegant way to do it?

Haven't got much progress, and also missed this week's recap when I was out of town.

Anyway, added a shield knight enemy that blocks all melee attacks unless it's either attacking or stunned.

>>184096216
Nigga, I already said that I know normal programming languages.

>>184096747
In pretty much any game you would have to create multiple instances of a node, IE for monsters. What happens when you need to do something to one of them but not the other?

>>184097641
Looks cool.

>>184097998
>What happens when you need to do something to one of them but not the other?
Take the one you need and do what you need to it?
I don't understant your problem.

>>184097641

The combat and mouse sensitivity is going to make people uneasy.

I'd recommend slightly lowering the speed of the combat and adding mouse/camera sensitivity sliders within the options menu.

Otherwise, looks good, and like it'll run on toasters, expanding the market for you.

The characters are 2D, but the map is 3D, yes?

>>184097641
Nice, but hardly readable.
Maybe put more emphasis on the blocking animation of that knight, so that the player understands that when the "0" appears atop of the ennemy's head, it is because the shield blocked the attack. If it is clear enough, then the player will be able to guess that he needs to bypass the shield by attacking at the same time as th knight. Otherwise, the player will understand it eventually, but it will feel random at first.
Or alternatively, make it so he always has his shield raised, except when stunned or while attacking.

Otherwise, looks as good as ever.

Why are video tutorials always made by people who sound like some incarnation of third worlders?

>tfw code is too spaghetti to refactor

>>184074787
When you hit something with a weapon, check if it's the basic class of an Enemy (which has health) and set it as a reference. I prefer setting it in the Player pawn's blueprint since it'll be easier to access if you do homing weapons.
Throw in a "IsValid" node when you update the percent bar, and when it isn't (enemy is dead), hide the healthbar.

You absolutely need a parent class for enemy (or more generally anything that can get damaged) if you want to retrieve Health when shooting at something. This prevents from having a huge mess of spaghetti when retrieving health, as you can just cast to the parent class which will always have the essential values.

You should only use get_node() for static stuff like the object's own child nodes for example.
Nodes sharing the same parent can never have the same name, if you spawn two enemies for example they become Enemy and @Enemy2@ (or something like that, I forgot).
You shouldn't use node names and paths to get other nodes in dynamic situations like a player interacting with an enemy, for that you use functions that return direct references to the node like collisions.

as for the actual animation, it looks really awkward because there's too much movement in the legs and not enough in the torso/arms/head.
the leg poses are also weird. if you stare at it long enough it stops looking like a walk and starts looking like an autistic shuffle.

Oh really? I would never have guessed.

Animation lacks impact, it looks like he is just sliding his legs on the ground. I bet you have made better walkcycles before so you know what I mean with that: leg up, leg down, pause. If you duplicate the frames when feet touches the ground it will a little bit better, but the weird position still makes him look more like he is dancing than like he is walking in my opinion.

A lewd jam game.

File: DrLeusze.webm (2MB, 709x480px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 709x480px

Currently implementing a new NPC (who will appear in every level) and working on the "mission" subsystem that he requires for world 1.

The mission system is a specific set of things, usually NPC-tied that let you accept a challenge with additional rules and minimal consequences. So here, we have Dr. Leusze, who sends you to take a "sample" to his cooler on the lake without taking damage or getting wet. If you touch the water, fall in a pit, let time run out, etc., you fail the mission and are teleported back to him to try again.

This is significant because things that would normally kill Dixie in a mission (like falling into a pit) instead simply fail the mission. We also remember your HP at the start of the mission and give that back to you when you fail (so if you start with 3 HP, take damage, and thus fail, you restart with the 3 HP you had).

Obviously this is all still very rough; Leusze's item-weapon isn't implemented yet, and there's no texture on the panel he's repairing, and his cooler on the lake isn't modeled yet. I don't have the timer HUD or a "fail!" screen, and I still have to implement the logic for mission SUCCESS.

But, it's relevant because it's modular, and lets me give any NPC (or really, any dialogue-triggering item, like a sign or wall or whatever, and even then that's not MANDATORY for it to function) a quest with rules that can be arbitrarily laid out by logic in the level BP. I could make challenges for not touching the ground, moving through rings in order, surviving an endless onslaught of enemies, etc.

I can also (theoretically) use it for replaying completed Showdown Zones with bonus mission content (i.e. retry it, but you have a time limit or can't take damage or any other Alfheim-type shit).

Improved the pathing a bit, it avoids corners better and has less of a tile-y movement now. Not sure how good it'll run with multiple enemies later, but I need to implement something like Quad Trees before anyway, so I'll optimise later.

This has to be a joke

>>184111105
You sound entitled

>>184112809
>less tile-y movement
but the player character is still 4-directionally-bound, which makes it look extremely jarring.

>>184111105
Yes, I just watch every vid on 2x speed until proven otherwise. I very rarely need to slow it down

>>184112931
Yeah, still needs a lot of improvement, just not sure how to do it.

You don't need thirty minutes to explain "raycast, check, replace".
Plus the autor pretends its "cutting trees" when it's just enabling physics on the mesh.

>>184112730
>>184112980
The only ones I don't bother with are those that are less than 5 minutes long because they're usually well made.

>>184113394
If you know better than the author why are you watching their tutorials instead of making your own tutorials?

>>184112650
>I like the shovelware one
That's fucking horrible.

>>184113538
I've ran into an issue, so I'm looking at alternatives to find either another way or a possible solution.
I'm not a divine guru, I couldn't know what his tutorial was until I watched it.

>>184113538
Cheerleader numales like you disgust me. Go take your pent up "aggression" somewhere else.

>someone gives your game a 9/10 or a 4/5

this triggers me more than a bad rating

>>184113989
Stop projecting

>>184113818
In reality what you're doing is complaining about a problem instead of solving it

>>184114230
they should've just given you a 0 without explanation and left

looks pretty good, but try it without the perspective bit. i meant that you should animate it for the purpose of overlapping action. character's too rigid right now.

>>184114954
use UE4 instead

>>184114569
okay you're forgiven

>>184114561
>>184114954

>>184114954
I casually used cryengine a fair bit because as far as level editing goes it is superior to Unity, now that UE4 is out you should use that instead imo.

I want to contribute but don't have to patience to learn how to 1MA (and I'd use other people's assets anyways) but don't want to keep being a shitposting parasite. What do?

>>184115157
Make game entirely out of stolen assets.

>>184112225
yey more progress from my favorite dev here. say does she have an eye-patch? I never get a good look at her design.

>>184088384

Fuck you could make some huge patreonbux making lewd sprites in this style.

>>184115157
if you can't make assets then you're useless to everyone here

>>184114252
>In reality what you're doing is complaining about a problem instead of solving it
so are you

>>184115264
Fine. That's the plan then.

We pyromania now.
Working a little more on the new villagers. Turned the stick they carried into a torch that they will drop on the ground and will turn into a new obstacle, and made a different animation for when they aren't carrying the torch anymore. Fire on the ground is still placeholder.

>>184116195
>what are unions

>>184116625
I like it. Still odd seeing NPCs walking over the tops of the bushes instead of popping behind them though

>>184112225
Nicely done. Gotta say your game looks pretty interesting.

This is hand's down the best art discussion you will ever see by a professional. Don't even need to be an artist to appreciate.
