what an ass, why didn't he just let him use it for the game, what are those original tracks even doing now? Did he sell them as an album or something?

I just don't understand how someone can be so selfish that they would do something like this. Having my music be part of game as popular as meat boy would be a highlight of my career as artist and would most likely help me get more work.

It's crazy to think that what ever falling out they had blinded them into thinking it was more important than the game itself.

I wish I knew to NOT take “advice” found online to heart. It’s good to take in as much information as possible but to do so with distance. Believing in your own aesthetic vision(s) instead of copying what has worked for others. TLDR: have a vision, believe in it, fulfill it to the maximum.

>>187224385

You're going to copy something whether you want to or not. No idea is completely original, you're always influenced by something. But I do agree that you shouldn't just implement or change everything based on what some random people on the internet say.

I just spent the past two days installing and uninstalling libraries trying to get monogame to run without success.
Is this what being a yesdev is really like?

Alright I've got a question.

I'm working on making a 3rd person control system in unity, starting from scratch, and I've got a script for player movement with a character controller, and a camera controller.

Now I'd like to make it so that when the player doesn't move the camera within a set amount of time, the camera moves behind the player character, depending on the movement direction of the character. However I don't know how I should handle telling the camera which direction the character is moving in.

Any thoughts?

>>187227224
Do you have a game?

Then no

>>187224385
I take advice to make my product the best it can be. There are some things I don't see or think about, but other people suggest them and my vision becomes better in the end. If people, when giving advice, thought about what you the creator wanted, and how they could help you develop your product toward that, that would be great. However a lot of people are just trying to (not so subtly) get you to pander to their shit taste. Just know what the fuck you want before you ask for advice and you'll be fine.

>>187227331
It's hard to have a game when you can't even get the IDE to run

>>187227294
the fact that the player is moving in a direction means you already have the data to give to the camera, whether you're using velocity or some manual movement. You can just use that.

>>187227919
will he survive

>>187227841

Wel... fuck, you've got a point there, I could take the previous position and current position of the character controller and get the direction from that and not have to worry.

Still though, I'm wondering if I can't do it differently should I have to. I'm wondering if it's fine to rotate the capsule to which I've applied the character controller, and then get the rotation directly from that instead. or put the rotation in a dedicated manager elsewhere or something.

I don't know man, I just don't know if how I'm doing things is the best way. I'm new to this whole thing.

>>187228262

Remember to playtest your own game before showing it/releasing a demo !

>>187228262
I don't know how your camera is going to work in general so I can't give any specifics, but a generic tip I can give is to cache whatever information you use to pick the camera's position. Like if you made it simple and just had it point at the player's position, on startup have the camera reference that and keep it on hand to use the whole time, don't call something like
Vector3 LookPosition = Find("Player").GetComponent<Transform>().position
since that's wasteful. Other than obvious things like that just make it work then clean it up if it becomes an issue.

Although for what you said you wanted to happen, you could do something like use the player's Forward to get the direction they're facing, use a negative number to get a position behind them, have the camera move to that position (maybe Lerp for smoothness), and have the camera match that Forward so it faces the same direction. This is just off the top of my head so you would need to change parts of it for what you wanted.

>>187228924
I'm now too good and need people to test it without insider knowledge, but at least I can catch obvious issues just messing around doing the wrong things.

Make an empty game object, put it as the child of the player object in the position you want the camera to be. The child object will adjust it's position as the parent(player) moves, then when you want to change the position of the camera you just set it to the position of the empty game object, you can even lerp it for smothness points.

It's a surface shader that grabs the texture of the original material and uses it for the Albedo, then I use a predefined color for the emission value, and have separate alpha values for both the emission and the albedo.

The godot team started a patreon to "hire" Juan to work on the engine. Unity isn't scared they smell blood in the water because one of their rising competitors is being headed by a charity case.

Godot will not sell out because it's now a collective entity of developers but I have no reason to believe Juan is going to turn away a 3 million dollar offer.

I predict Godot is going to be shaken up badly from the inside.

Right, it's still a tenuous situation for an open source project though. It's competing with a giant company and the lead developer has his hand out for money. It wouldn't hurt Godot too much but having Juan "retire" would definitely shake things up and mitigate whatever threat Unity thinks it poses.

Don't sell out Juan. Or do, you've earned it, whatever.

>>187238783

Godot could be responsible for losing Unity tens of thousands of Pro license purchases. You must not know how the world works at all to make a statement like that. Juan is literally a multi-million dollar threat and could easily be bought out for a small portion of the trouble.

I guarantee Unity has already wagged their big $$$ dick in his face. Saying no the first time feels powerful and heroic, and makes people develop hubris >>187227919

I hope Godot never gets an asset store so only real devs can use it.

>>187239065
Godot needs a manager. That's why there is a lead developer.

>>187240758
I don't think Unity considers it a threat yet, they are probably keeping an eye on it to get "ideas" for features though.
YoYo is the one that should be worried but they seem to just do their own thing instead of worrying about the future.

>>187240991
>retard doesn't know godot already has an asset store
Not surprising considering you're a retard. Ever consider actually trying an engine before shitposting about it?

no, godot needs a good documentarian, some of the best features can be hidden within an incomplete doc and you need to fish in every board and site for a person that knows it, it's crazy

Alright, I'm learning C++ and will look into C# next. The big thing is since I'm a beginner, should I say "fuckit" and use an engine instead of making one? I want to develop a 3D game using low-poly for performance and style reasons, so would absolute control over my project be needed? Or should I stick to an engine, and if so, which would you recommend? Unity seems interesting, but I'd rather not deal with licensing, and Godot looks promising but I don't know how well it handles 3D.

What are your guys' thoughts?

>>187241395
it's funny that unity declare that if you bought any assets it's yours to use anywhere, so that is completely true

>>187241359
Godot would definitely be fucked if they weren't able to improve documentation from where it's currently at.

Right now Unity is still 100x better for starting devs. In fact Godot almost relies on devs knowing the Unity workflow before getting into Godot.

"fuckit" is enginedev. So the answer to your question is no but yes.

>>187241606
Enginedevving is absolute madness reserved for a select few.

Both Unity and Godot have all the tools you need to make whatever 3D game you want, you'll just have to tinker with both/either to get it to run well.

Unreal is worth a look too. Don't worry about licensing, you're going to make jack shit for cash.

>>187241678

>>187242086
>reserved for a select few.
I'd be interested to know who those few who ever managed to do it are. And not just in agdg, but gamedev as a whole.

Enginedevs who make games literally don't exist.

I've got a design problem with a game I'm making, I was wondering if anyone here has got ideas. My game's a platformer, sidescroller view and all that, but I'm trying to create a world to dick around in with a map and all.
Maps offer a completely different perspective from a platformer; how do I make the world mesh properly? Travelling north while moving right on the screen is a major disconnect.

Making some more cartoony models to go with the guy I re-modeled last night. The texture definitely didn't need this detail since it's going to be tiny in-game, but it's good painting practice

>>187242281
You're restricted to two directions in movement, really. If you enter a door in the background or something akin to that, it alters you orientation along the axis, so you'd traverse north/south instead of east/west.

Have certain points on the map be "transition" points, to alter the movement directions.

A town is situated from east to west, and has two transitions on each end. At the north of the town is a forest. Hit the transition, and you'll travel a path that goes north/south that can hit the forest. Hit a transition, travel east through the forest, hit transition, head south, hit town's other transition at the other end of it.

I hope I explained that coherently enough.

>>187242423
>It's just script, man
No, it's an application. Not everyone can pick it up and run with it in fact most people lack that ability with any engine.

>>187242807
>>187242807
Well yes, that's clearly the main to design the levels themselves. But I'm wondering how to minimize the disconnect between orientation on the map and orientation in the level. I wonder if a little compass decal shifting during a loading screen might do something, or something.
A couple issues I have with your idea, however; say a level is outdoors. The transition cannot always be a door in the backdrop. Thanks to parallax backgrounds, using a path winding off to the background would look odd. Maybe I could use caves occasionally, but it would be unnatural to do that for every transition. Another problem with that is despite the orientation changing, you are still travelling left to right. Maplestory did this by putting portals that traveled north at the top of the map, and so on, which is also weird when anyone really thinks about it. I want to minimize the disconnect that causes.
Plus, I think your idea might get disorienting if I say, have a backdrop door travel north, then another backdrop door travel west. Also, how would I even do a transition South from East?

Made a Super Ground Pound which can be used by Ground Pounding for an extended length of time (jumping and using it from a high place). Its the only way to break the reinforced crates and lets you break multiple regular crates in one go.

The graphical effects could be improved. The copies are transparent but still render in front of the character (barf). A flashing "shield" under the character that appears when the Super is initiated would also be nice.

Got necromancer's in the game and made undead self-res themselves if a necro is present. You can stand on the undead to stop them ressing.

Now I need to add some kind of spell to the necromancer's for them to cast from the backlines. I'm thinking either a generic death-themed damage spell or some kind of buff for her undead?

Unrelated bug - sometimes when hit the player character's hurt sound effect plays too fast which makes her sound like a chew toy being squeezed.

How important is it to see the specific cards during the animation itself?

I think it should take like 1 second total rather than ~7 second...

I see you can kinda read the titles already (making it less important to show them off) and I imagine you can zoom up on mouse over (making it even less important to show them off).

An animation is neat, but the speed is absolutely painful.

Unfortunately I can't make it any faster without having the cards clip into one another or reprogramming the entire section that shows cards off. You can still do other stuff like move and attack while the cards are drawing at least, you don't have to wait for them.

Is the reason Godot isn't popular just becasue there isn't as many tutorials for it?

Because it's much newer and it only got really good in 2.1.

>>187253571
if you're doing 2d, then just make your own engine with SDL. 3d enginedev is absolute hell but the small price that you have to pay to get started pales in comparison to the productivity gains in the long run

>>187253571
That's one reason, although honestly there's enough tutorials now-a-days for a beginner to get started.
The major reason that it's not popular is because there's no big name million dollar game made with it yet. And most people only use engines that have those big name games because they believe it means they could make a game of equal quality in no time.

Cards are way too slow and they also cover up the play area. Much better for them to pop up from below all together.

Anyone have a good resource on creating, say, a balanced system/economy sort of for a meta game?

Like specifically what I'm trying to do is allow the player to invest in different businesses and those will have different costs/benefits and change the gameplay in certain ways.

It's basically unrelated to the core gameplay, but it's what ties everything together, IE you start with one small business and your goal is to take over every business.

So I want some rock/paper/scissors kind of balance. Invest in police, they're better armed, maybe they even protect you if you commit crime. Invest in medical, and you can hurt people to make a profit. But this might have a cost.

I'm just looking for something that will give me some thoughts on balancing and making a system that has interest and depth. Right now I feel like I'm trying to shove square pegs into round holes and trying to get things to fit by accident, and it's not working as well as I want

Should I tilemap for my first game (a platformer)?

>>187264104
Well yeah.

Blender documentation is shit. So many undocumented settings with fucking no-info tooltips. Fucking hair particles have like three seperate "step" settings described as "sets the number of steps" and the manual describes one of these as the number of segments. Nigger there alreay is a setting for segments and its called "segments" and of course the tooltip says "sets the number of hair segments" and theres no entry for the segment setting in the manual either so i dont know if the description of that one steps setting was simply entered in the wrong place.

Waste so much time trying to figure out what shit does why dont they just fucking tell you.

You are 100% correct.

Even simple things that hang up newbies is literally nowhere to be found. The engine acts like it has a ton of users, but there are only 2 or 3 guides on how to do anything on it that aren't from Godot themselves.

It doesn't help their 'examples' are fucking terrible and don't help beginner devs at all.

I'm in the process of switching from Godot to Unity. Simply better for newbies. Godot has nothing.

The engine itself may or may not be better, but as far as documentation goes and help, Unity is 100% better than Godot.

i may add it, but in ftl you only click the room and it automatically assign an empty cell to the unit, if it reaches the target room then you just interpolate the position to the cell because you'd always walk in a straight line if you're inside the room

I type like that and I've been coming to 4chan over 10 years and I've never posted on reddit. It's the small post window, it makes 2 sentences look like paragraphs that are taking up five lines.

Just like those two sentences did. So you space. When in reality they take up 1-2 lines once posted. And people have been posting like this since I've been here, before anyone even heard of redditt.

Probably animating. A lot of artist devs disappear for a while to animate and he war griping a fair bit on how long it takes, too.

I'm done for the night.
I figured out my problem with the player movement, and got moving and jumping done,
tomorrow i'm going to add more animations, and try to get melee attacking in.

This look pretty neat, I dig the cartoony style.

I want to make a 2D platformer but I'm confused how big I need to make my play area, what resolution/screen size?

I know the sprite size doesn't matter since I can scale it, but I want to make a ballin' 3-4 parallax scrolling screen and I need to know the background size.

Good work, dude! Every step counts.

>>187269496
It does matter if you want to scale it sanely.

Look at the Steam stats on monitor sizes commonly used and strike something that won't be too big for small monitors (that are popular) and scales up to a sane endpoint for large monitors (like, be able to cover wide/tall screens, and decide if you want 1:1 pixel purism upscaling, decide if you want to extend the screen space or just letter box shit, etc)

Unfortunately there's no completely neat answers to this problem.

>>187269776
Thanks for NOTHING.

jk I'll just divide 720 in half and just make game.

nice to see you back. what happens if you fail the fire mash? minimal damage?

I need ideas for a platformer that isn't collect jewels and punch dudes in the face.

>>187270450
yep, and you don't get the chance to burn the enemy

How hard is it to make a tileset?

I'm scared of art. All I have is a mouse and I can't draw for shit anyways.

Should they all be 64x64?

>How hard is it to make a tileset?
Pretty broad question.

To just get something that matches up? Easy. Get something that looks nice? Moderate. Get something that looks professional? You get the idea.

All these tilesets online are just one big image.
How come I can't have them in individual images.
WHY. WHY IS IT JUST ONE BIG PAGE.

>>187271527
because you don't load dozens of individual tiles into memory, you load one big power of two image which contains all the tiles and draw from sections of that one image. it's better for performance.

it is a 3d model

I'm still trying to get the look I want. I don't want it to look too much like a 3d model. I don't care if people know I'm a dirty rotten cheater not hand drawing his sprites or anything. I just want something that sort of resembles old PC RPG sprites.

>>187273325
Finicky, but if you don't throw in the towel immediately on your first attempt or 3 being disasters, you'll get the hang of it.

Hint: you're better off youtubing base-meshes rather than trying to follow the Wikibooks thing too closely.

Needs a bigger dick.

Can I use kickstarter even for small projects? is there a lower limit to funding?

I'm making a small game, but I feel like shelling 600-900 USD for every game I make...

>>187274104
no one's going to donate to a small game

It's sad to think that there'll never be a Diablo clone that'll manage to be better than Diablo 2.

>>187275203
Path of Exile is easily objectively better. If you disagree it's because of nostalgia.

>>187274849
>>187274914
I can actually make the game without shelling much. The money would be for assets.

That project had a 5k goal. Mine would be much lower. I haven't seen anything on the FAQ about lower limits to the goal amount.
