im glad nodevs make OPs because surely no one else will but maybe dont make it so obvious.

hello /agdg/, i started remaking the jam game i did a few years ago, the one with the watering can, which i did post here about one or two years ago

for now i remade my first enemy, which now has actual pathfinding
the player goes faster than this monster, but the monster gets a 1 second speed boost if the player is close enough
A friend of mine made me a tileset so feedback would be great on that

Reminder that a good game is 90% assets and 10% coding.
If your assets aren't good or you're just using all the free shit in the Unity asset store, your game will be shit. No need to learn C# too extensively, just make sure you know how to use programs like Blender, Photoshop and Quixel.

I feel like they loose the 3D feel/look when you make them brighter with less shading and no shadows. I want to make sure people see the 3D but does this really look better?

you play as a biomech that can grow new weapons and upgrades the more enemies it kills from it's appendages

i.e you can make a gun, say what type of gun you want it to be, (say automatic/sniper/rocket launcher/shotgun/etc) and then you can fine tune it's attributes like fire-rate and damage with yet more biomass. then you can grow a gun on that gun. upgrade armour, grow thrusters, other stuff.

in a perfect world, the game is single player, and you kill enemies to upgrade your biomech, but the final boss will be the mech that most recently beat the previous final boss, which is another player mech, like the seneschal from dragon's dogma.

now make it.

This is literally every artist unless you just throw bags of money at them.

when I need inspiration I let my mind wander and entertain stupid or otherwise nonsensical thought processes or paths. If I'm given a theme I mash that with random concepts in my head just for kicks. The idea is to see where it leads and maybe spark something. But that's just me.

Oh you could also check out random online game jams and try to come up with an idea for their themes under a timeframe (like an hour or a day). Not with the intent of signing up for it, but to sort of practice coming up with an idea on the spot

I am not trying to argue that artist was a bad guy there actually. It was my idea, my project and my failure.

I could've at the very least tried to persuade him, to be a leader. Could've tried to look for another motivated fella, considering there is a pack of designers/artists (couple of them are qt girls btw) at my workplace. Could've tried to 1marmy it, purchasing art here and there. I just threw it in the bin like it was nothing.

Anyway, sorry for the sobby venting, aggy daggy. Just needed to tell someone

>>187492321
Ignoring his assumption, it is pretty unlikely that the programmers were constantly doing a lot of heavy lifting within the project and then the artists just randomly flaked out. More likely situation was that they both were putting in minimum effort and were not seeing any return, but the artist had alternatives.

Progress:
+ Settings, progress and map fog are now saved and loaded
+ Initial level positions are recorded now too based on the player's relative position to the camera, it already worked like that in the old version of the game but here's a short explanation for those who don't know: reaching a Goal keeps the player's relative position to the camera which allows them to start in slightly different positions in the level, if there's a Wall in their position then it permanently becomes a Ghost Wall (the dark gray block in the screenshot) which lets the player pass through it and potentially open up new paths
+ Fullscreen toggle

>>187492509
Many programmers think that just because they can put together some simple game mechanics, artists should be lining up at the door waiting to create stunning and detailed worlds and animations for them for free.

Not saying it's the case here, but most devs seem to overestimate the work they do relative to what an artist would.

Having been on both sides, art is just really emotionally unrewarding and unmotivating compared to programming.

I'll do the scripting/code for a project I don't particularly care about, sure. But art? Fuck man, fuck that. I have yet to meet a single animator that honestly enjoys their job, and I'm not about to buck the trend.

>>187492392

in my case i tried more than once to motivate my art buddy but he just dropped the ball after a while even if i worked on the project every single day and making progress.We even made a small project before starting the project

Here's another thing programmers usually don't get; 1 artist can't draw everything.

Every artist has their own areas of interest and skills. Drawing and designing mechanical/scifi things is almost a completely different skill than drawing animal characters and plants for example. Some parts of drawing skill can be translated from subject to another, but only some of it.

Some artists are more skilled in characters and animation, but may be completely inept at drawing sceneries. Some artist may be good at doing tilesets but have no skill at doing characters let alone animate them. Someone may be good at painting but clueless at pixelart. Someone who's excellent at 2D doesn't necessarily have any skills in 3D. In a sense artist's have their own version of "1 man army" if they have a very wide range of art skills.

I gave a presentation at a Games Development meetup. One of the people who attended approached me and was interested in my game. I asked him if he was interested in joining my development team and he seemed keen. We had another meeting and I showed him the build and what still needed to be done. He was happy to join and that was it.

First week we talk every second day and he worked on small modules I assigned to him. Second week he said he was moving over the weekend, so he didn't get as much done as the last week. Third week he just stopped contacting me all together. Calling him goes straight to voicemail, discord chat is ignored, messages are ignored and he hasn't responded to my emails.

I know he is online, but he just isn't responding. It would have been polite for him just to say "I'm not interested in the project anymore, thanks." But the more contact I get with programmers makes me realise they are all autistic manchildren who don't have a shred of common decency or manners. I'm just going to need to have more stringent recruiting procedures in future.

> doesn't know about redundancy

I think it's hard for civilians to understand, but military systems have up to 4 layers of redundancy. When cyber systems fail you have digital backups, when digital fails you have analog back-ups.

When I was serving aboard an escort frigate I was once given a lead line to measure the depth of the water. We had sonar and hydrographic mapping, but every junior warfare officer was expected to know how to use a lead line and other ye' old maritime instruments.

That's military logic, because damage knocks out advanced systems.

>>187493819
Mechas (and by extension most military vehicles) are easy to draw, most of the time they're made out of really obvious and simple.
The hard part is designing them, they need to make sense mechanically and stay away from the "Box with legs and arms" idea.

>>187495235

I just can't just find good game engine for me.

Game Maker is fine when working with sprites and stuff, I don't have to think about buffering and scaling sprites on the run. But working with data is slow and requires too much time to design something what can be done in Java in 5 minutes.

LibGDX includes every good aspect of Java like working with data and serializing, but every LibGDX "how to achieve X" is outdated the day after somebody written it. I just want to put text and sprites on the screen without fucking creating textures for every font I want to use, accompanied with 15 lines of code to even use it and another 20 to center it.

Check if contains looks for the whole array. Case it does, instead of using it (witch is just a loop to search for all the items),sort the array(do it every iteration), pick a midle, or a close to the middle number, check if radInt is >,< or == , case its smaller, use the 0(to)PickedNumber to do a search, case its equals you got the number, case its bigger its the Pickednumber(to)RandomArray.length . This way you just have to search for half of the array. Thing is, i dont really think it will make any difference with an array of size 10. It looks like a quadratic function, if Contains is a full loop and you do what i say, it can come to a faster solution probably logaritmic ( not that good at calculus, but you are cutting one full search loop in 1/2). unless its not made every frame you are fine.

Sure I guess. Godot uses GDScript, which is its own language with a syntax similar to Python. If you know basic programming you can pick it up easily.

I don't know how to program, that's why I was using Unity and C#. I'm kinda just bashing my way through this as im kinda young and am still finishing my Assoc. before I fuck off and do game design in uni.

That characteristic being autism right

The only interest we share in common is game dev, >we don't do anything, there are individuals here who do stuff.

GMS isn't bad, it's still the best way to just get something going as fast as possible and the community is pretty big but it's getting extremely outdated and outmatched, GMS2 is a mess that doesn't fix anything.

>>187501129
Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it. Doesn't really matter what engine you use, just like make little projects, start small with pong and asteroids then get more complex, join jams to challenge yourself to finish a game.
Keep practicing, every day, you can do it

I've taken Python classes and GDScript is an absolute nightmare for me.

I'm lookin' through Godot's documentation and I'm seeing that it can develop 3d as well? Is it actually decent at both because if so I'm just gonna toss myself at that? Unity has not been getting me a lot of reward.

I've been making basic "faller" games and pong games, im just tryna figure out my first project. I had and idea the other day about a simple physics platformer about a flubber like a creature that simply bounces off the walls and gains 2x momentum every time it does so, with the puzzles being mostly SMB-esque platforming.

I dunno, just spitballing over morning coffee.

Got some more appropriate swoosh trail effects for this (kinda plain looking but at least it fits), and fixed the inconsistencies with the particle effects previously not triggering for the 2nd and 3rd pounds. I might try experimenting with some camera shake as additional juice for this, but I'll leave it for now and move on to other tasks.

>>187501689
Godot 2.x is ok at 3D, but 3.0 coming out soon will murder even Unity and has...

BULLET PHYSICS.

You can also write in C# if you want.

So, I've been tinkering with the Pacman-inspired pathfinding. (Inspired is the keyword here)
Thanks go to the anon who suggested Pacman!

It still needs work (it doesn't look very pacmany right now) but it looks like it'll be great for semi-dumb monsters. You're seeing 50 of them in the webm.
I don't have time for a lot of progress now so my posts will be rather scarce.

If you know of any interesting pathfinding solutions in games, please give them to me. I'd love to steal some more. The more, the merrier! The Pacman one was especially tasty.

It has 3D and some nifty tech like global illumination but it's still behind Unity when it comes to usability and learning resources, you will have to script functionality like a simple character controller or FPS camera by yourself for example, it's improving pretty quickly though and the 2D is top-tier.

>>187501689
Godot can do 3D, although it's currently outdated compared to Unity's 3D. There's a huge update coming soon™ that improves 3D a lot in Godot, bringing it up to the modern 3D standards.

Your idea sounds like it could be fun.

Alright dumb question time. I wanna bake a normal map in blender but if I set the space to Tangent it just gives me a blank blue texture.
Can baking the normal map that way ever cause problems ?

>>187502231
>that way
I mean baking using object space instead of using tangent space

>>187502129
getting started guide in the manual -> kidscancode video series -> gdquest
this is basically what I did to learn, read the entire manual too and check the class documentation
google how to do shit and don't be afraid to tinker around, you won't have an easy answer for every problem and your first game will be a buggy mess of frankenstein code but it gets a lot smoother once you "get it", this is true for any engine

>>187501247
>will NEVER use GMS ever again
Why not

>>187502578
Not him but I also dropped GMS and haven't looked back, you don't really realize how bad it is until you try something better and I'm amazed that only now they're finally getting some decent competition.

why godot is trying to become shitty unity?
recommending godot 3.0 for 2d is literally recommending unity for 2d
it isn't trying to replace GM, it's becoming an engine for 3d shit
and it will be worse than ue4 anyway. what's the point? godot is dead

>>187502578
Because it's outclasses in every way by a free alternative.

>>187502779
Maybe do some research before you try and meme, retard. 3.0 has much better 3D features than Unity does and much better physics.

Godot isn't trying to be Unity, it's trying to be a great open source option for the majority of game devs, and with 3.0, it will be.

Stay upset though, TeenDev.

>>187501247
wheres love in all this

>>187502779
You do realize that it has it's own 2D and 3D engines right, you can use either/or. Unity does not have a dedicated 2D engine. Godot does.

Are you brain damaged? Did you think with better 3D comes worse 2D?

>>187502779
>it isn't trying to replace GM
What the fuck does this even mean? Do you think GM is better? How?
>muh documentation

>>187502779
What do you mean? They focused on 3D for this release but 2D still got improvements and still has its own dedicated engine.
They did drop support for GLES2 though which is a bummer, but they are bringing it back for the next update.

As someone who uses UE4 it would be nice to have a good engine with a smaller footprint for web games and stuff.

What are package sizes like for a 3D godot game?

let's make a poll to see how many people here are actually using godot, this thread feels like a godot general

All the godot bots are bitter poorfags or something?

>>187483953
Your OP is bad

imagine being so buttblasted that you're compelled to go out of your way to attack people who use things you don't like.
imagine that this affects you and your own work in no way whatsoever, yet you're still obligated to hate someone just because they like something you dislike.

imagine being this fucking retarded.

Whoa....

>>187503750
it doesn't matter. the more users godot has, the more users start donating patreon moneys to it, the more updates godot gets, more features that allow me to spend less time on developing same things. i basically lost negative dev time thanks to this image

Since I'm using Godot for more than a year now and I'm bored on my workplace you can ask me practical questions regarding Godot 2D engine.
Not going to answer to memes and shitposting though.

>>187504492
can you make it less ugly

>>187504492
Tileset or no tileset?

5KB, 480x640px

>>187499502
I was thinking of Little Witch Academia and Schierke from berserk when coming up with the design

remaking the char portraits because of feedback saying it looks weird when the portraits they look straight at you
the only reason I did that in the first place is because it was the extent of my face drawing skills and I can't draw face at angles so I'm pushing myself just the slightest

>>187504492
Every time I export my game as executable it gives a warning like M3 m3Engine. Should i switch to panda3d?

>>187504553
Draw not ugly art.
>>187504567
Depends. I personally find that collection of sprites are easier to manage via script but if you need really huge tiled worls, tileset would definitely be better and faster choice.

>>187504634
That's a lot better even if it isn't necessarily super accurate.
A good rule is the 5° angle, i.e. never make anything completely sideways. It makes the visuals feel more dynamic.

>>187504492
how to make a proper selection box?

Would you find it interesting if I made a game about trying to be president, but with a paper mario like fighting system?
Like you have to please a public using "argument" while the ennemy is trying to convince them you're wrong, in an active system battle, and when you win or lose a battle, you win or lose the voices of the region?

>>187504705
Ignore it?
>>187504863
Via control nodes. Look up for demos, there are several that uses selection box.

>>187505012
I used to be interested in politics until burgers went full retard and now can't stop fucking talking about it literally every fucking second, I had to unfollow a good chunk of my twitter.
So no, I'm not interested in a politics game.

>>187504492
Is Godot's language a good place to start for a complete novice programmer?

>>187505012
>game about politics
>Would you find it interesting?
No. Just no.

>>187505012
im only interested in politics games that further what is right, but even then i wouldn't play it.

>>187502231
>>187502330
I figured it out myself.
Tangent space doesn't work if you're not baking to an active object.
Thanks for the help /agdg/ !

>>187505012
Politics are over as a meme already.

>>187505247
Again, depends.
If you want to learn programming - answer is no, learn some static typed language first(classic C would be a good choice), then look up Python, then you wouldn't need to learn anything in GDScript and can just use it.
If you don't care and just want things to work - maybe, but still better to take a quick course on Python first. GDScript is actually easy to learn and use, but it may have some confusing features that complete novice wouldn't understand, and it lacking documentation alas.

>>187505631
Alright, sorry for all these shitty questions, the hardest part of all of this has been trying to dictate what path I should go in.

I really regret not learning to program when I was like 13 now, but that's life. I really just wanna learn how to do this right, because I'm trying to make this my eventual career.

I'm gonna finish the c# youtube course im working on, then do some in python, and then actual move to game dev while all the while working on my pixel art skills.

I drank too much coffee, I'm shaking and feel compelled to write this blogpost instead of working on the game.
