reminder to make game

It's not that you don't have time, it's that you have to MAKE TIME for it

Why aren't you working hard on your game RIGHT NOW?

What is that buzz with that nodev's "source" meme? I don't quite understand, please explain.

>>186482823
I think people are a little pissed the SDK for Source 2 is never coming out.

Actually sort of a bummer. Source runs pretty well, especially on lower end setups.

>>186482892
>Source runs pretty well
can you please fuck off, sourcefam? everyone knows tthat Unity is the only way to make a game.

I have a question about data-oriented programming versus OOP.

Lets say I have a game where there are multiple instances of an NPC, like a town guard. The guards might all share a sprite set, but would obviously have independent health and other statistics like coordinates in the world.

Would there be a really noticeable difference in performance if I decided to represent these guards as, instead of say 30 individual objects with references to static strategies and sprites, a set of 30 unique "guard" objects containing their unique information that are passed around collections ala existence-based programming depending on their state?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when it came to actually drawing these to the window, assuming I was already using buffers, there wouldn't be a difference in how expensive the drawing process, would there? (of course that wouldn't mean that actual game logic wasn't a consideration)

t. noob who should probably just write programs to test this but can't be arsed

I know you're partly joking but even if the Source 2 SDK came out I wouldn't recommend it. Hammer is a pain in the ass to use, and unless the Source 2 SDK was better I wouldn't tell anyone getting into game dev to use it.

But the engine runs so well. I wouldn't be shocked if someone has Portal 2 running at 1080p60fps on a literal toaster. And I mean LITERAL toaster.

Thanks for all the feedback lads, it really means a lot.

My laptop is pretty small so I didn't consider screen size but its all part of the learning process for me :).

>>186485012
So basically instead of using the string_pos, string_copy, string_delete functions GM offers, which for some reason start at 1 instead of 0, while other functions start at 0, I should make my own functions that do the same thing and start at 0 instead?

If I'm gonna go that far, why bother using GM at all instead of SFML, Godot, MonoGame, etc. ?

>>186486309
Having a good set of built-in functions is not even part of something GM offers, it actually lacks a fucking lot and you will be implementing literally everything yourself if you aren't making a platformer, all other engines and even some frameworks provide much more.

It's just a retarded engine that is still popular because it was one of the first and has good documentation, but it's not good in any other way.

you need to start marketing after you think of idea and have some pics for kickstarter page

>>186487450
marketing is a meme and is only needed for bad games that will not spread by mouth
do you think games like Terraria,Rogue legacy or Risk of Rain had marketing campaigns? of course not

>>186487450
If you actually want to sell it, then you want to be making a big ol' batch of promotional bullshit and be releasing something new to show off every few weeks to all outlets, including forums and your mother's Facebook.

Jew Tip No #1: A sale is usually made after five points of contact
Jew Tip No #2: Never stop talking or showing off your product even after people tell you to stop.
Jew Tip No #3: Just straight do not take "No", "Stop" or "Get out of my house" for answer if a niggy wants some shekels.

t. used to work in sales

>>186487450
If by marketing you mean posting progress on twitter. Start as soon as you have a decent looking game. It doesn't even need to be final art.

>>186487450
Truly great games don't need marketing, they'll grow as people find it and start sharing it and then those people share it and make threads etc.

Games that are just ok probably need it though. You should "market" it as soon as you can show pictures, post in tumblr and talk to people and build a following that way.

>tower defense
keep me informed

I was wondering what are some alternatives for visual studio? I am learning how to do C++ and the damn program keeps fucking up. Is there a lighter, more convenient program to use:

I want to copy a feature from the idtech3 engine and implement it in unity. When a game uses idtech3 and it comes to level design, normally you will create a hollow box where players play and you make the level inside of it. But if there was to be a leak past the box, the player would get an endless parrellel world where the last thing the player camera was looking would keep repeating over and over until the player camera looked away from the parrellel world.

Does anyone know if this actually gives better performance and I should put such a thing in my game? Or was it a sort of limitation made from the programmers?

>>186494593
Serious suggestion: try using an ordinary text editor and compiling with a batch file in a cmd prompt.

I use Eclipse as an IDE only for debugging, Visual Studio can be used the same way.

>>186494593
there is no better alternative for c++
also, the newer versions of VS are pretty light and fast

>>186495050
I did. It gives an error as well.

>>186495118
you made an error in a hello world program?

>>186494705
It's caused by the fact that old BSP games relied on enclosed spaces to calculate their area/occlusion culling (to not render things which aren't visible)

When you leave the pre-calculated play area, the visibility calculations fuck up and your view of the void isn't properly cleared between frames resulting in the duplication of the objects which are properly understood.

It's just an outdated system that you don't need to be concerned about.

I might be speaking out of my ass, but i think dynamic destruction can cause performance issues with multiple bodies, and if it's only for juice, it'd be better to use cell fracturing and bake animations.

Why does this code work:
draw_text(10, 50, global.targetsArray[0].value)

but this code doesnt?
for (i = 0; i < 5; i += 1){

target = global.targetsArray[i].value

It's incredible and fairly easy to use. But it's also expensive (I paid $420 CAD for the indie version) and serves a very specific function in your pipeline. If you're not doing a lot of cloth then I think you'd be better off using a sculpting program.

I actually don't understand what you're asking, but I've only had three coffees so far. Maybe drinking the rest of a pot will help.

It SORT OF sounds like you don't understand the point of data-oriented layouts. It's all about cache locality. If you need to do an operation that only uses an entity's texture data and position, then you don't want the cache to get polluted by AI state, or random junk from other stuff in memory. From a DOD perspective, if you're collecting bits of data strewn all over the memory space and THEN putting them in a contiguous buffer, that's pretty much morally equivalent to not having the buffer at all. Cache misses are cache misses.

Depending on how your game works, though, this might not be a bottleneck in the first place. Have you profiled your engine to see what's taking up the most time in each frame?

If you're selling a game you're presumably going to sell more than 3 copies. If those improved graphics over what you could do get a handful of more people (they probably will) they pay for themselves, and those assets can be used in multiple games. Also assuming it's not one of those scam asset packs that were slapped together and run like shit, the price was chosen based on paying the person for their time and work.

The sad thing is, triple A studios try to compete with indies and lower their prices, so now triple A titles are being sold for $30 or $40, when ten years ago it was easy to sell them for $100 or even $110.

This is the issue with free market capitalism. Everyone is trying to compete with each other, but this pushes out smaller producers who can't compete with the big players.

This is also the same reason why very popular big developers like THQ, Sierra and Epic games have collapsed. They couldn't compete with the new big models of EA or Square Enix.

Small indie publishers are a thing now, but they follow a different business model.

But the main issue still stands, if you are selling your indie game for chump change, it drives all the other prices down. Think about it, you average consumer is willing to spend $30 on junk food or $150 on a night out for cover charges and drinks. Selling the title you worked 12 or 24 months on for $40 or even $50 is not an unfair price in the current market.

So is making a kickstarter a gamble to see if more than those who pledged will buy your game?

I haven't been on agdg in months and aside from some tiny experiments I whipped up in a few hours, I haven't posted progress in easily two years

I'm fucking done, screwing around with gamedev was one of the only hobbies I enjoyed, why am I like this

>AAA games are cheaper
What games did you buy ten years ago for 100$?

>>186506979
Well, it will give you a hint if people are interested in your game.

However it can be heartbreaking if it fail. I almost lost a nice dev because of it.

>a gamble
there's literally no reason to NOT do one, there's no gamble on your side

Should have clarified. That is Australian dollars. But 10 years ago all triple A games were between 80 and 120 AUD.

Establishing a backbone for your game's setting and characters gives you a template to work with. Not having a consistent well to draw from whenever you're designing an enemy heightens the chances that you'll make an enemy that feels out of place

The only reason I could see is if he were really motivated to do the game and then it's goes like a bucket of cold water about it. ie he realizes he invested in his game far more than just sales expectations.

In all other cases a kickstarter is good to go.

What's wrong with real Animal Crossing?

I could use some help.

I'm drawing a bunch of sprites with a mapped buffer using OpenGL 2.0. I update the buffer every frame. How ever, with dark tiles, there's this weird flicker when the scene moves - I'm not sure if it's visible in the webm, but the dark lava tiles visibly seem to flicker light-to-dark on my screen and some other machines.

Any ideas what that could be about? I can throw code out if some one thinks that'll help.

There is no indie equivalent, no PC version with mods and what else. Harvest Moon has Stardew Valley for example and it's pretty good.

I want to build a Minecraft-esque world generator. Is Monogame the best platform for this? I'm not really sure what a framework like Monogame even does, or doesn't do, compared to a commercial engine or true enginedev.

Nothing is "best" at making a Minecraft world.

I suppose you're right, but I'm just not sure which tools are worth trying. I assume getting that amount of procgen out of Unity or Unreal would be a struggle, but I don't know anything about the lower level frameworks.

>>186508002
monogame gives you a simplified graphics API, input, sound, game specific math functions, a fully featured game loop and a content pipeline

you'll still have to enginedev pretty hard, especially for 3D.

I don't really have any experience with procgen, but I don't think it's much more work to do procgen in Unity than it is in a custom engine.
