/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

first for cute devs

second for JIDF

nth for Are you making progress, you better be making progress, show we your progress right now.

>>184295448
I'm not. It's late right now. And it's the weekend, so tomorrow I have to work.
Can't wait for Monday so I can dev again.

Posted it a bit before last thread died. Thinking of adding traps before adding enemies.

>>184295710
first 10 posts in the thread is a pretty good time

>>184295710
Showing progress on /agdg/ just post any time, it doesn't matter. There are less people on late at night in US time. But there's still some people around. And the threads stay up for usually 8-12 hours, so likely other people will see it. They might not all comment, but they'll see it. If you post progress just before a new thread is made you can just post it again in the new thread.

it depends on what you're learning it for honestly.
you thinking of using unity? or just want to learn c# in general? once you know one language, its pretty easy to move from one to another because you just need to learn syntax and not concepts for the most part

>>184303281
do you have any other experience with game engines or dev in general? or is unity your first jump?

>>184303331
First jump from python.

Debating on having all assets the game will use set inactive and then just go de/activating them as necessary, or instantiating and destroying.
Ive already decided that I will have a single scene and have a game manager get levels/characters/the player in and out as necessary.
Unity, btw.

>>184303392
I'd recommend starting with the official unity tutorials then. i cant stand them personally but they'll get your foot in the door

another good way to learn (what i did) is to follow Brackeys old Make a Game tutorial on Youtube. For a tutorial it was sub par but 1. it helped me make my first game and 2. it was writted not only in unityscript but also old depreciated unityscript. having to spend time outside of the tutorial to update and convert it to c# with usable modern functions was a wonderful exercise to learn the language
itll teach you c# syntax organically as well as how to start looking through the documentation and applying that information

>>184304907
Don't have a particular way, here is how i do
1-draw in 300dpi
2-save as png,open the png
3-set the resolution to 72,save
4-change document size width/height to 50%

When making sound effects and music, how do you listen to them? Like, how do you know whether the sound will sound the same or at least sound similar enough across a variety of sound systems, headphones, and speakers?

I've been editing my music and stuff while wearing headphones that have some decent bass and the sound how I want them to sound, but then I pull out the audio cable to let it play through the speakers and it sounds completely different. Instruments/effects I could hear clearly with headphones no longer seem to exist when played through speakers, there's too much bass that it makes the important parts sound too soft and weak, and sometimes it just sounds like a different sound completely, like I recorded something completely different.

But when I adjust it for the speakers to sound good, I put the headphones back on and it sounds terrible again. It sounds nothing like I was aiming for.

>>184305552
use wayland, nerd

>>184306175

Put the music on your phone and play it through the speakers. You are catering to the lowest common denominator. If it sounds fine on a bad system, then it is good to go.

>>184306175
unless you can afford an audio monitor, you're gonna need to base your mixing off visual EQs. Get a mix that sounds at least decent on speakers and headphones (speakers generally are more prioritized than speakers since the quality doesn't vary as much as headphones if you have a sub woofer). Then base the fine tuning of the mixing off visual EQ.
Does it show that there's a significant amount of low bass even though you can't hear it? Tone it down anyway
Mids seem unusually high even though you know for a fact that you want low mids during the song? Tone them down.
Audio monitors and visual EQs are pretty much the only things that are consistent in sound production.

>speakers generally are more prioritized than speakers

How should I go about giving enemy AIs a good enough vision so they detect food items and other creatures in 3D space? Imagine a space game.

Sphere collider all around the creature?
Box colliders in front?
Raycasts?
Math angle cone hacks?

I feel the sphere collider is probably the most robust but then light of sight doesnt matter as much depending on the setting. Maybe a combination of both? A long range box collider in front but also a smaller sphere collider for short range encounters?

Aim low, and remember that established programmers way exaggerate how easy things are, for some reason. "You should be able to make pong in a few hours" isn't realistic for a beginner, but youll hear shit like that, dont hold yourself to someone elses fake and deliberately discouraging standards

>>184308337
If you're pretty much starting out, try doing tick tack toe in C# with no actual graphics. I remember that I learned a ton from that beginners style exercise. Also, don't set yourself any deadlines whatsoever. If you don't want to code right now, do something else.

To clarify, by "no actual graphics" I mean just use the Console.Clear and Console.WriteLine functions to display your "graphics". Trust me, it sounds simple AF, but you'll feel very proud that you made something that actually can do.

Don't mind if the code itself looks like crap. As long as it works you learned something! And that's what's important

>Unity stopped selling perpetual licenses. It's 100% subscription only now.

>renderer
the reason Unity renderer is worse is because it's optimized to run on a million platforms, which has it's own advantages that no other engines offer

>>184310584
If you have more than 2gb of ram it would be very stupid to still run on 32 bit.
If you have less than 2gb is ok I guess, but I'm not sure if Unity will run that well.

>>184311717
The real reason Unity's renderer is worse is because the developers are literal retards who make horrible decisions and intentionally sabotage their own work to sell third party assets.

Setting: A prison space ship attached to an asteroid for mining.

Test billboard tall sprite on left, giant rat, will be placed in mines and not prison itself. Shows that ceilings are high enough.

Test billboard normal sized sprite on right. A chicken. Will be used in tutorial/intro thing where you have to kill a chicken as part of your initiation.

Floor is grungy metal tiles. Roof is... whatever. Walls are color coded to let you know where you are a little more quickly (and are otherwise perhaps a little too minimal.

Between the two billboarded sprites you can see a jail cell door. It's closed. All of the doors are unlocked though since the prison ship is actually unmanned.

In the name of using minimal screen space and already low res pixel art, it's a little too simplistic for how much shit it wants you to be able to reference.

Depends on how much immersion you're going for, but a search box to quickly jump to a page might be nice.

If not, just make sure you organize it better than papers please. The tabs or something (I'm forgetting exactly) weren't really laid out the best.

One of their developers, Chman, is working on their post processing stack with an SSAO option that is literal garbage. He's also selling his own SSAO solution on the store that is faster and better looking and nearly every single tutorial they make starts with "go to the asset store" and also have dedicated tutorial series purely for paid third party assets.

The company is also now run by Johnny Ravioli who wanted to charge people to reload their guns in Battlefield.

The first time you learn to program with any language should take about a week. It does require more concentration than most activities.

Learning Unity and C# can be done in 2 days with a couple of the official tutorials. Learning the workflow of the engine itself and then learning to use the C# API documentation to figure out programming solutions for everything happens quickly.

Only a faggot tells people "it takes years" when it comes to programming.

You're not a wizard, shut the fuck up. I was programming professionally and making games within 3 months of picking up my first language. Learning to program took 2 weeks. My first game I created in a jam after doing a couple Unity tutorials.

Yep. I wish I learned actual programming before I went to war with unity.

And here is a cool optimization I did today. Previously lasers were iterating over all monsters to check which one is the closest. Now it iterates on monster grid node by node until it finds a monster.

Blue squares are the nodes that are expanded.

It can also work with rays that has a width (big laser) as long as width is smaller than node size.

Also spiders. They are faster than zombies but they stop moving after a while.
Also eggs, which spawn new monsters continuously.

There are also boss version of these monsters. Some of them gets their one stat buffed (HP, damage, speed etc) but others have some abilities such as:

>splits into 2 smaller versions, which also splits recursively a couple times

How do I make megaman style camera in with just one room in GM:S? Like I want to limit camera movement so that it cant always move freely or always move in grids, but can vary between.

The idea is simple, there's room inn GM:S that's divided to grids and the camera can move freely horizontally in green areas, but not vertically. Camera can move freely vertically in blue areas but not hotizontally. Camera stays in place in red areas.

I have no idea how I'd approach this problem.

>>184318707
What are you doing with said code, and how are you binding it to your game's code?

I'm pretty shitty at coding, so take this with a grain of salt.
Is it possible to create flags for certain rooms and then have your camera move according to the flag?

>>184318951
Divide the room into a grid (ds grid, for example) like in your picture. Give each cell a variable telling how the camera can move (for example, 0 = no moevement (red), 1 = horizontal, 2 = vertical, 3 = free movement).
Then just check the type of cell the camera is currently in and limit its movement accordingly.

It is this one rocket particles in this one:
>>184316638
Rendering particles is quite optimized. however while creating a particle, it makes a lua call to randomize its properties, which causes the performance issues.

the script is very basic, it just randomizes the things that are used in the shader. but it is still slow

I am using sol2 (https://github.com/ThePhD/sol2/) to interact with lua, which might be another problem.

In future I will make particle creation possible without asking lua for random values

This is what I don't know how to do. I can create ds_grid and give values to it and even create editor that lets me do that, but I have no idea how I can make the camera read the values and move accordingly.

Guess I'm retarded.

If that's causing you problems it's most likely that string concatenation you're doing. I mean, why recreate it every time like that when you could be building up a lookup table as the program trucks along?

Otherwise, try enabling luajit. It should give you a performance boost in more areas than one. Of course, while Sol is one of the better libraries for binding lua to c++, there's still the natural overhead between C++ and lua no matter how you put it.

character design is my weakness

Nah, it is not the string concat.

I tried lua jit before but didn't see any performance improvement so I reverted. Will try it again.

Ok.

Lets say you have a cell size of 300. (one room block is 300x300 pixels).

You can get the camera's position by dividing its physical position by this cell size.
EG,
cellsize = 300;
cam_x = floor(camera_obj.x / cellsize);
cam_y = floor(camera_obj.y / cellsize);

celltype = ds_grid_get(level_type, cam_x, cam_y);

For limiting the camera movement, you can get the current cell's physical limits with
x1 = floor(camera_obj.x / cellsize) * cellsize;
y1 = floor(camera_obj.y / cellsize) * cellsize;

x2 = floor(camera_obj.x / cellsize) * cellsize + cellsize;
y2 = floor(camera_obj.y / cellsize) * cellsize + cellsize;

And then, according to the current celltype, limit the camera position within those boundaries.

>>184322668

PlayerPrefs are short term storage between scenes. Everything that doesn't need to be saved for another play session should be done using playerprefs.

Generally, if your player is picking things up and carrying objects around from one scene to another, you would use player prefs to store that information. Then collate that information into long-term storage when saving.

PlayerPrefs is a soft-save that uses less resources then a hard-save.

Uh no, I supported Ponchodev and his poncho people. I told the others who were shitting on him to fuck off.

So what if it looks a little like journey. Many desert cultures wear robes and hoods. It's not a rip off imo.

Bring back the poncho people, they were cute and fun.

There is already no reason to post progress here and that is only one of the negatives.

Progressing with subweapons (totally not ripping off castlevania / gng)

>Axe
>Dagger
>Sickle(cross)
>Torch
>Bomb

for testing purposes, the weapon is randomly chosen every time.

Also finally added proper wall collisions for projectiles.

Non sexualized animal characters work better.

this is why you shouldn't take /agdg/ too serious
pay attention to the crits that are genuine, but ignore the obvious shitposts.
if you can't differentiate the two you're better off ignoring both.

The only way to make it as a gamedev is to make porn or tutorials.

1k is a reasonable target. Trivial if you're willing to do porn, will take at least a year or so of hard work if you're doing tutorials

That's not how limitations work, Anon.

>>184299767
Take it as an opportunity to make your game more robust. Design the enemy to force the player to use a different mechanic/behave differently
I.e., crouching, environmental damage, force mobility, grenade, castlevania style item usage, etc

What do you guys think of Paint3d?

>>184299767
Let the player be able to stomp it via jumping

Shitty progress is better than no progress

I've got an idea of how it should go but I need to figure out the numbers behind it, as Get Actor Velocity doesn't really work for my bullets.
How would you prevent being able to dodge everything by just spamming right and left though ? I'm thinking about doing the average of the last player player movements to "predict" where he'll go next but that doesn't sound like it would work so well if the player does something like right>right>left>left>left>right[...]

Not really most of those are repeated. I use transform tool in photoshop to scale the picture vertically and rotate the head and arm a little.

What is your game about?
Original Metroid had bombs and later Wave Beam for these situations.
A ballistic projectile would also make sense.
Or something like a missile that you can airburst, like in many FPS games.
Don't just scale the enemy up. Use this as an opportunity to work around the issue that you created.

>>184326546
One of your tighter weapons. Nice work.

That nuke thing's explosion doesn't really match up well enough with how destructive it is...

>>184326701
I shrunk the blast radius a little for the sake of balance since I posted that webm from earlier. If need be I'll add more ridiuclous visual effects for the bomb's explosion
