You forgot Source in the OP.

How many of you are making a game for mechanoid jam?

>>187536525
About 10, it's got the counter on the site.

>>187536735
that's how many people registered for the jam. not how many people are actually making a game.

>>187536525
>mechanoid jam

>>187536897
Given this jam's longer duration I am expecting more games

>>187537091
today's shit for progress. i've removed more than i've added in the past few days.

Reminder that you should be learning Blender and C++ for a 3D Game.
If you want to be successful, stop wasting your time on 2D.

>>187538353
Removing bad things is also progress, it's like that saying:
You can tell someone is a good programmer when he has more deletions than additions in a git repository.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but Unity2D is just Unity3D with a fixed camera, so it's probably possible.

>>187538647
of course, just use a separate camera or UI depending on what you mean by 2d gameplay

Wow, so you have some ideological opposition to function calls, while simultaneously thinking that you're smarter than every other programmer in the entire world.

*some shit may happen to a here*
if b {
a = true;

vs

*some shit may happen to a here*
a = a || b;

I'm trying to create some cutscenes for my game. Is this a somewhat passable style or should I try to actually draw something?

>>187541381
what's with short circuiting?
it would matter it it was a = a && b, then b wouldn't be evaluated if a is false. if a is false and it's OR, b can still change the outcome and should be evaluated. b shouldn't be evaluated if a is already true in such case. but it would only matter if i had it like a = a || b(); and wanted b to be executed in all cases but b is just a bool here. how does it impact the final state of a?

>>187540381

>a=!a
always evaluates as false, so b will always be the result.

He is over complicating it, ant actually wants (a || b)

>i need a to be true in all cases when b
if b is true, a should be disregarded and treated as true
>but otherwise stay itself because it may have been set to true somewhere before.
disregard b, evaluate a.

i.e. a cannot be false if b is true, therefore (a OR b)

Man, just get a pen and paper and sit in a corner for like 2 hours and continually come up with a stream of "Wouldn't it be cool/neat/fun/compelling/weird if..." and then jot down the first fuckin thing that comes to your head and see if you can implement it.

>>187543142
stop being a nuckle head and make a game for android, no one plays games on iphone, people who have iphones are a completely different breed of people who the last game they played was most likely mario or pacman. They don't give a shit about video games, they only care about blogs and the news or indie movies and smell like either weed or cologne or both.

Just like make a fucking game for android so ghetto mexican kids can download it from their mom's phone and will constantly accidentally hit the add or buy your in app purchases without their mom knowing.

>>187543142
>Do you still need a mac to publish shit on there
Yeah, you do. Pick up a used Mac Mini if you can find one.

>>187543457
first of all, the room size is shit, it's twice wide than tall, it's not comfy, make it less wide, secondly change those tiles, they look like shit and inconsistent to the player's sprite.
now for stuff to do, you should add bombs and pots to break, rocks and spike traps, traps that shoot arrows.
for the enemy you can start with a slow moving slug/slime that will follow the player but may loose interest and just walk randomly, second enemy can be a zombie that will follow the player all time and is slow and easy to kill.

>>187543734
Ideas are probably the hardest thing in game dev.

Programming is easy, passable art is easy, there's tons of music you can use for free, but ideas? Ideas are impossible without talent.

>>187544183
ideas like any other medium require outside experiences. Your not gonna come up with clever idea if all you do is play games, and even games in the same genre.

If you have the money take a trip outside the country or do something completely unrelated to games. If you don't have money read a shit ton of books, not just sci fi and fantasy.

Get into genres and shit you normally wouldn't. The whole idea is to broaden your perspective. Your brain is really good at building patterns so mixing video games with something totally different will help your brain build patterns other people might not see.

>>187544320
and that's not link either, if you gonna clone a design loosely then at least try to improve it

The block on the left has no scripts bound to it besides a collider and a rigidbody. It behaves fine.

The block on the right also has nothing but a collider and rigidbody on it, but it goes fucking insane. I even tried deleting the rigidbody and readding it and it was still wild. What could cause shit like this?

I managed to get around it by making the block on the right a child object of the block on the left, then disabling the mesh of the left object, but still, I'm curious as to why this problem ever existed.

not they point, what you posted is the equivalent of (a || b), except it flips a, which should ONLY happen if a was true to begin with.

>i need a to be true in all cases when b is true but otherwise stay itself

a = false
b = false

your statement flips a to true, which does not meet the requirements.

It has the API of Flash, but it uses Haxe, and can natively deploy to just about any platform. If, for example, you choose to create a Windows executable, it transpiles your code into C++ and uses OpenGL. On Android, for another example, it transpiles into Java and uses OpenGL ES.

At last ! I've managed to make the generate particle event work properly and spawn a particle after a branch that did go the way it was supposed to go.
I still don't have a clue as to what the issue was. I think it may have come from Use PSys Location in the spawn event, but I'm not sure. And I'm not touching that particle emitter again. Ever. I don't want it to break.

Now I need to properly orient the effect, I'm not sure why exactly it's sometimes flipped by 180 degrees but I think it has to do with the collision.
Also I think the sfx I currently use for shooting woke up the cricket that's been stuck in the living room for a week. Or he's trying to bang my pc. /blogpost

>>187553659
I don't see how this is surprising. If you buy Unity Pro or use their networking capabilities, they're obviously going to have some of your financial and social media information. Information about your computer is par for the course and literally every program collects it.

>>187554515
Juice up those animations to get that tasty stretch n snap, and add more options: movement (dash, jump, some sort of slime based stuff anyway) , and yeah combat abilities/combos.

At the moment, yeah, it looks weak.

>>187554075
I like how it says "SOME information does not directly identify you and the information that does identify you MIGHT be obfuscated".
They're basically saying that yes they do keep all your data and if the bid is high enough then they sell the more sensitive data too.

>>187554515

Handy piece of code for determining front or back

public static bool CheckFront(Vector3 otherPos, Transform refTrans)
{
float dot = Vector3.Dot(otherPos - refTrans.position, refTrans.forward);
return (dot > 0);
}

true means otherPos is in the front 180 arc

Reminder that Google makes 99% of its money from ads and data collection, I think it's safe to assume that most of Unity's income comes from data collection too.

>>187554949
Their data collection is only profitable because of their ads.

>>187555046
Yeah Unity sells ad space too just like Google.

>>187557323

It's a whopping $25 cheaper to do a pre-paid year vs. the monthly commitment.

They don't bother giving a real discount for pre-paying because the "monthly" subscription comes with a minimum 12 month obligation anyways. It's not like people could cancel after a month or two, so they don't have a reason to incentivize upfront payment.

So do you have to keep paying the subscription forever or what?

Depends on how much you rely on Unity's services. If you stop subscribing at any point you lose access to multiplayer server hosting, development team integration tools, performance metrics, etc.

Also, while Unity is """""royalty free""""", the free license is nullified if you earn over $100k and must purchase a Plus license ($420/year/developer), and if you earn over $200k you must purchaes a Pro license ($3000/year/developer).

There's no royalties, but you have to pay them if your game makes enough money. But it's not royalties.

>>187559235
So it's basically "first hit's free."

>>187559152
I know at least one person who paid for the Creative Suite and probably pays for CC now. But most people I know either have copies that they've been using since before Photoshop went subscription, or they downloaded it. There are probably a fair amount of people buying individual licenses, but I'm wiling to bet the bulk of Adobe's profit comes from companies, studios, and educational institutes who actually buy huge numbers of licenses.

>>187559012
Wait nevermind they are already doing that since around the release of UE4, they made the free version mostly feature complete and gave the asset store a bigger spotlight and will probably continue in this route, Unity is a shit product but they are really good in the business and marketing departments.

It' s probably fine if you don't make money off of it. If you did, the artist would have every right to step forward and take their fair share of the profits, and it wouldn't be hard to prove. "I found the assets on an image board so they're fair game" will never hold up. Hell, even if you didn't make money off of it, they could C&D you with reasonable cause.

OpenGL uses a counter clockwise system, as opposed to DirectX's clockwise system.

That accomplishes nothing because any code that references Vector3.Forward will still be using the old forward vector. IMO OP should just be using Vector3.Forward anyway. It's what the system is providing you as a forward vector, and so it should be what's in use in calculations.

and the second bar is at $200,000? that seems pretty narrow given that you have to already make over $100,000 to get to it
why is there even a second bar and a third edition of the product? if you make over $100,000 per year you can probably be squeezed for a lot more than that
although from my reading it's also (and so in effect this is almost always when it actually happens) when you first make $100,000 total, which seems like a whole other layer of WTF
I mean why have (again) two bars, this time for bumping up to the second tier? why make it so you will always pass one bar before the other or at the same time?
my first instinct is for all of this to be in place basically just so they can deceive people by saying what bars you need to clear and saying it's nice and lenient without giving the full story and telling you how much they'll actually ask of you
is that really what this is?

>>187575490
A single set of animations doesn't work for every character. Characters can have a variety of proportions. For example, if you make an animation for a character with 2-inch-long arms and a 2-inch-long torso, that wouldn't work for a character with 1-inch-long arms and a 3-inch-long torso.

Quite enjoyed it in a more low-fi RPG type sense. Do sidequests, complete storyline, move to next world. The actual building aspect was weak, mind.

but those both lead to the same tier
I mean does the "$100,000 at any point" refer to profits only? I noticed the other one specifically refers to gross earnings (or maybe I have it backwards)
it's just perplexing to me to muddy the waters so much when they could just have one criterion and one pay rate

>>187577857
what is that guy sitting on anyway?

>>187578087
If you are below tier 1, you don't have to pay them anything.
If you're above 1 and below 2, you pay rate 1.
If you're above 2, you pay rate 2.

It's pretty simple.

It's a good thing that Godot is free*

*unless you need something fixed, then be prepared to pay $1000 a month for the right to vote on what gets fixed**

Still free, man.
Free to fix it yourself, even. Shits open source.

You seen the code for it? Spaghetti, dude.

Quick update: I'm still at it but making sprites makes me want to die. Scrapping hours of work all the time because it looks bad is such a terrible feeling, at least when I'm coding I get stuff done at the end of the day...

>>187579378
This guy again.
Look, if you want to fix it, you can. Unity won't let you do that. Unity doesn't give a crap about you unless it's an issue for most users.
Even when you try as hard as you can you fail.

>>187579649
I have seen the source code for it, and it isn't anywhere near "Spaghetti".
Go ahead, link some of the code. You won't, because you've never even looked at it and just wanted to shitpost.

Have fun being a nodev.

Wait a sec. Is it your legal responsibility as a dev to let players know what Unity is doing or is there a generic Unity EULA for your clients? I smell a class action lawsuit if this is not the case. i.e:unity is gathering information beyond that which the webstore tells people.

>>187581440

Listen man, you should really give this project up so I can steal your ideas.

>>187581440
I beg to differ, I've seen your project steadily improve over time. humility is one thing but don't sell yourself short.

>>187581440
So improve, practice. Look up the fundamentals of value, colour, use references, the works.

I decided to go in a different direction with my game.

It's now a twin stick shooter.

This plays like shit, I need ideas.

>>187581716
If it fits on one screen like that, it's not spaghetti code.

Step back and ask yourself: "What do I want to play?" Go from there.

What are excited about in Godot 3.0?

Why does Unity use PHSYX instead of bullet physics like Godot 3.0 will?

Why are Unity's shaders so terrible?

>>187582049
yes

>>187581960
Alright. What is dark souls to YOU. Like what's the big thing that draws you to Dark souls.

characters move in different ways depending on how they're designed

animation can also be used to convey information about the character if it's done right. if everyone used the same standard set of animations, that aspect of design would be lost.

I just started and made a basic guy who can jump on platforms and collect gems.

Where do I go from here? 2D of course.

>>187582246
Go play some games and analyse them or something, this is just sad.

>>187582049
>What are excited about in Godot 3.0?
Watching it crash and burn because it's yet another engine that doesn't understand that documentation is the most important part of any software.
>Why does Unity use PHSYX instead of bullet physics like Godot 3.0 will?
Because Bullet is awful.
>Why are Unity's shaders so terrible?
To get you to buy things from the asset store.
