I'm struggling so hard trying to come up with an original character, they all end up looking like characters that already exist out there.

Imagine a menu which scrolls vertically

The slots in that list are scroll boxes which scroll horizontally

Do you want to scroll vertically with the mouse wheel and grab/drag with mouse to move the horizontal ones, or the other way round?

>>187632824
Your characters are always going to resemble another in some way, nothing is purely original.

>>187632675
Right clicking on the resource and selecting rename should work fine unless you're referencing it by name in the code.

>>187633013
You're 100% right, I just worry about people thinking I'm trying to rip off some shit.

>>187632884
I don't want to use that kind of menu with a mouse, I want a list to pop up where I can pick the right option if I'm using a mouse.
Failing that, changing the individual option with a scrollwheel is usable but feels like a console interface.
Other way around you are just fucking with me.

>>187632884
Scroll wheel to zoom.
Ctrl+Scroll to scroll down.
Shift+Scroll to scroll sideways.

>>187633093
yeah that's the case, i'll just go through scrips and correct them

Look at the most successful franchises in history. Do they do something different? Or do they do the same old thing well, and in a new context?

Soldier 76 is generic as fuck, but he strikes those generic "hardass" chords well enough that people like him. Add in the "old man" schtick and bam, it's a fun character. Just go for a feeling and own it. Don't worry or over design.

>>187632884
Scroll up to scroll down, scroll down to scroll left, arrow key up to scroll up and arrow key down to scroll right.

Being original moves it away from being bad though, it's not enough on its own, but it helps.

Being original stops people directly comparing your game to a better one and gives you an excuse for the failings, but it doesn't really make it better

Time for Progress!

Dialogue events are working now. Well, so far it's a monologue in the webm, but the next step is to add title switching and more character sprites on screen during dialogue events. And of course, I'm planning to add a bunch of different character poses and expressions for all the important characters in the game. It will take some time, but it's much more enjoyable if the whole pose of the character changes than just the facial expressions, makes the dialogue much more fun.

Also thanks to the anon that suggested the dark blue overlay instead of black for the darkness, it looks much better. Sadly I forgot to prepare it in this video, but I'll post it in the next one.

>>187632824
Sum up your character's personality in three adjectives, and his story in a single sentence.
That way you can focus better on what your character is. A bad thing to do when designing a character is having too many small details, to the point where they are almost like noise.
It's not a sure way to have a totally original character but it helps to avoid bad characters.

>>187640310
Good simple personalities are better than overcomplicated ones. Look at doom guy. He's angry, he's righteous, and he HATES evil so much he can't physically contain it. Bam, fun character, make gameplay. The interesting parts are in the interaction between characters, not the character itself in a vacuum. Like the scene where doom guy slams monitors when the robot is trying to rationalize the bad shit it did, or when he picks up and regards a new weapon.

It duplicates, the first version jumped positions and it just looked weird. Webm related. There's a bug in this one regarding the orientation of the shield but that's fixed now.
I'll probably make it so that it's more or less big depending on the damage too but the next thing to fix in that is the way it handles the shield orientation when the character collides against something. Because right now it simply doesn't do it.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't tried messing with those and the occasional fireflies were driving me nuts

I don't know Lua but I doubt that you can do that, functions accept values or references, not symbols

>>187636156
watch Chris Crawford's talk on creativity in videos and generating ideas

>>187644590
Didn't work :/ init does get called, the collision gets.created and everything. Ready seems to be identical.

(I use init because these objects will be created in code, not in the editor)

>>187644664
Lua can return multiple variables. It's one of the strong features of the language.

>>187645413
x.y.z is not multiple variables

>>187644046
Good ideas. By combo system do you mean something like, if you hit several score-giving objects in the same shot you get a score multiplier? That way I could make it so that not only number of shots determines your score, but "style" or cool trick maneuvers aswell.

>>187644081
Also a good idea, I've not considered them at all.

>>187644305
Is this a joke...? It's Godot.

>>187645413
The "." operator is used to get a member from an object. "x.y.z" means "the member z of the object x.y" and x.y means "the member y of the object x". In that context, y and z are not member names, they're variables, so they can't be used that way. I don't know if Lua has tuples, but it clearly has objects, therefore if you want to return multiple values you can just return an object with more than one member.
examples(a, b, c) is also nonsense for similiar reasons, b and c are not variables (but a.b and a.b.c are).

>>187645278
did you change monitoring values on area2d? also CollisionShape2D is just an editor helper, you can directly do this:
var shape = RectangleShape2D.new()
shape.set_extents(Vector2(8,8))
add_shape(shape)

connect the area to mouse_enter to check if the area is the problem or you're doing something with the kinematicbody

>>187644405
if you want to try some shit code try

function example(x , y, z) return x[y][z] end
a = {}
a.b = {}
a.b.c = true

print(example(a, "b", "c"))

>>187648969
It's not FTC, FTC is unity while this is Godot.

>>187648857
Post game and I forgive you.

>>187648763
Valid tactic yes, but it opens you up to not having anything for the player to work for. It'll kill replayability if they're given everything. They'll make their ideal (or the meta optimal) ship and give up.

Unlockables, that's the key to replaying. Give them a ton of really cool ships that they have to unlock like you're some discount startrek mmo and they'll eat it up

>>187648969
It's not FTC, FTC will never have gameplay.

>>187649036
>>187649334
That's if you leave the possibility to the player to do anything.
But what you can do instead is have different parts that need to interlock into each other, with some different possibilities. Make these parts have different availability/price so the player can't abuse them and always get the best layout ever.
And also you can still do unique layouts at the start.

>>187650084
Every single little fucking thing should be a different scene.

Use folders else your main clogs up at the speed of light.

>>187650084
I'm starting out, too, and the answer seems to be: if it has children nodes and logic attached, make it a scene as an organizational concern. Think of anything that's a self contained package (like a coin that has an area2D, a Sprite, and a collision shape), it should be saved as a scene object, which can then be contained in a node called level_x_coins under your world node so the coins aren't just floating with the world as their parent. I've been thinking of scenes more as objects and nodes as object pieces. So far it seems to me a node can't do much by itself.

>>187646842
Detect collisions before they happen as opposed to seeing if something is inside another solid object.

>>187649412
>>187650026
Maybe you should have a structure integrity system or something that lets you spend resources into optimizing one of the premade layouts?

Remember everything is processed relative to the parent node, that you need to become best friends with the Vector2/3()s, you can copy nodepaths from the filesearch window with a right click and can call variables from other nodes without having to use a global ala get_node("res://exampleFolder/exampleParent.tscn").variable == x

Oh and use deg2rad(/360) for any rot() commands else it's straight up pi town.

>>187650084
a scene is literally a node saved in a file, it should be used for anything you want to reuse, a behavior, an object, a level, anything.
>>187650915

>>187649750
>>187650026
Alright here's an image, which will illustrate my point more easily.
The idea to make sure the player can't always just "make the optimal build" is to simply limit the construction between templates and maybe eventually, make him able to create extra rooms at a cost and only in space-garages.
That way the player has to be creative make only with what's available to him, instead of an actual infinite amount of possibilities.

>not using the penis shaped deck so you can simply ram in and penetrate enemy ships

>>187651397
What gets me about Godot is 1) the dynamic typing and 2) the preload nonsense.
Like, if I have a variable, and all it's meant to be is a particular object (say I have a summoned minion that needs to remember who made it) it's super awkward to declare that. My sensibilities tell me to declare it as null, then on creation set it, but if that's the case, every function which references the creator object is just kind of guessing when I call functions. It just feels so unsafe, and I feel like I need to constantly check
if typeof(whatever) == TYPE_OBJECT:
if whatever extends classItShouldBe:
whatever.methodAStronglyTypedLanguageWouldJustKnow()

I love the ide. I just wish I could use Java or c#. I feel like they use these loosey goosey languages for accessibility to non-coders.

Does anyone know a good tutorial for rolling animations?
I'm trying to make my pixel character roll but it's pure shit.

>>187652062
that's a great idea, but people tend to forget that the optimal build in FTL would be a spread out ship, if it's compact then a beam could hit every system and one shots the ship, a way to counter this would be the more space a ship takes, the bigger the penalty would be for dodging, because a spread out ship is easier to hit than a compact one

>>187652204
It looks the most boring. besides, 2 & 4 both look better

>>187652628
Adding to your comment, Spread out also offers more protection from boarding & fires, at least if the player invested in blast doors.

>>187652709
Yeah, but if the game works like FTL, it's the most efficient.

>>187652864
FTL ships aren't one boring square. The fuck are you on about?

>>187652401
i thinks you're overcomplicating it, you only need to check if the variable != null
if you assign the variable at creation it would never be null again unless you free it's parent, which you could add a signal to notify the concerned objects to reset their variable

>>187652864
4 obviously has two command posts, meaning if one fails the other is still working.

>>187652401
Oh yeah, GDscript is basically Python with a decent IDE.

But as far as script goes it's definitely got some ideas and serves as a decent launching point that doesn't kneecap the user with impressively bad habits.

>>187652864
And also boring. No corridors, no failsafe room in case of fires/boarding. Squares are lazy and boring.

Besides if it works like FTL, it'll get your ship killed faster precisely due to its square shape. There's no way death is efficient

>>187652960
I know you're right, but the way Godot deals with errors is hard crashing. So the fact that a var -could- at any point be a string or a number or some bullshit makes the inside of my head itch. I've worked on large apps professionally, and tracking down that stuff's hard enough when the compiler -does- know it's wrong before it hits the logic.

>>187575698

It's the only one that has 9 tiles while the others have 6. Meaning it has one third more tiles that can get punctured, or catch fire.

>>187653354
>one third
worse. half as much.

>>187653192
how about this
Class Variable:
var type
var value
some functions to validate values

gdscript has set gets. if a value doesn't match the type throw an error, then replace this class on release build

Too lazy to link all the posts but to make FTL with Build Your Own Ship, force the player to build the ship out of randomly generated options.

So you present them 3 different components, they pick one and place it and then are presented with 3 more random components. Repeat until the ship is done.

Different every time, lots of options so the player has to deal with "bad rolls" but just never gets complete garbage since they got to choose from three different picks and impossible to build a "meta" ship.

That's the idea behind making the different parts available or not on a random basis. Except it's more coherent in lore since you're buying the parts.

>>187653354
having empty tiles is actually a good thing, if they catch fire you can open doors to vent it, it will buy you time instead of spreading out to system tiles, it can slow down intruders.
having an all rooms systems is actually really bad

No. Just no.

Personally, I'm surprised no one's made a Star Trek like game where you're the Captain and you actually have a care to manage on your ship

>>187653549
Don't need to do all that. typeof(x) will tell you what something is. It gives a code back that'll match to a TYPE_ constant. So you can be safe. Your code just ends up looking toddler proofed is the thing. Like going into someone's house and seeing padding on all the corners and child gates in all the doorways when they live alone.

>>187653941
it's a reference to an old memegame called Space Station 13
which is now fully an amateur gamedev meme in that repeatedly some dev will come out with "im making a space station 13 like" and if they ever get as far as publicizing the project will undoubtedly use the phrase "from one of the creators* of SS13".
*SS13 had open development with potentially hundreds if not thousands of babbydevs having contributed in some way to it or one of its forks.

>>187653984
It's not about lore or realism, it's just about giving a non-stupid way to retrieve ship pieces. Pure random components make no sense and make them lose their meaning, they just become "component with shape X" and the player doesn't have to solve issues that may arise from certain parts's specs.
It also means you can't balance it properly since there's always a chance the player lands on a perfect roll of different pieces. Meanwhile if you limit to a set of pieces, you might not have enough money to buy two of those you want, or you might just not find the one you're looking for so you have to choose between a compromise or picking another part that's similar yet less efficient, which creates a lot more dynamics between the player and the game.

You're dense mate.
The idea is that you don't let them choose exactly the piece they want by making the shops store different pieces at different prices. You only give them the possibility to find the piece they want on a random chance and on the condition they have enough money.
If one of the ship's thrusters is busted and the player needs to replace it, he might not find a suitable replacement and has to deal either with carrying on without one, or buying a sub-par piece hoping that the next time he finds the right one he'll have enough money for it.
That dilemma has a lot more meaning than just being presented with three parts on no basis.

>Not just designing a couple new ships/layouts every patch to keep them suckered in

I see what you're going for, but if the player is given freedom it'll kill your playability. If they're forced to deal with RNG then it'll be hard to balance or they'll just plough through to their desired layout like FTL currently

I've got a premise and a generalized concept of what kind of game I want to make but the problem is I can't figure out which genre it would be better suited for. I want it to be story heavy but the impact of what the characters can do would have a better feeling on the end gameplay I've got in mind if it were a 2D adventure platformer. However I worry that a story heavy 2D platformer would get glanced over since nobody likes boxes of constant text, which means a lot of the story will be environmental in this case.

It could also work as an RPG easily but then I lose the impact of the gameplay idea I've had and instead they basically just turn into flashy moves, however then the text boxes would be expected and less of the story would revolve around atmosphere.

Which engines would be best for either genres to do this with for a literal amateur that's been procrastinating for far too long on getting started?

1. you won't
2. capitalize on a fundamental human action / emotion / activity. notch pretty much captured the value of legos, just on a computer. you don't even need to be massively clever, you can just steal the idea like he did
3. you don't want to be notch-tier successful. the guy who he ripped the idea from is far less wealthy and far happier.
4. take advantage of whatever new distribution platforms and technologies that you can, notch was one of the pioneers of early access.
5. if you're seriously trying this, don't waste time on an idea that doesn't pan out. if it's not worth playing as an initial prototype, if you can't see it spawning hundreds of imitators and games based on it, it won't be a minecraft tier success.

progress! got some attack animations for the enemies too, but haven't implemented them quite yet.

i need to look into a shader to draw a silhouette of the player when you're behind objects. the plan is to design levels so you're not behind obstacles too often, but it'd be a neat feature for hidden areas and shortcuts.

>>187663654
protected does exactly that though, private just makes it so any children classes can't see the variables but if you later decide to subclass the class you have to go back and change all your private members to protected most likely so it seems sensical to just make everything protected until it needs to be private instead of vice versa

Not him.
You can render your camera output to a small texture and then render a scaled version that takes your whole screen size.

You can also use affine texture mapping and vertex lighting to further emulate the PS1 hardware, beyond just low resolution.

I think whats "pretty sad" is that you choose to kill the thread like this to rant about "danny" because agdg was jazzing on gogem for a bit and you LITERALLY can't handle it for some reason because you think only your boogeyman picks on gogem.

Literally insane.

>it's not fair, why won't my bogeyman let me off topic shitpost, it's all the other bogeyman"s fault!
Move on. Or at least find something new. 3 years, the same thing every day.

>>187667630
Take this shit to discord, faggot.

Oh wait, you can't because nobody wants to hear from you about your boogeyman.

Has anyone here ever streamed gamedev? If so, how many viewers did you get and were you streaming code or art?

>>187663875
I find it easier to do it the other way around, but I rarely use inheritance and when I do, I design my classes from the beginning to support it.

Added "reek" to my filters, what else?

>>187668816

this shit is only interesting if you're an enginedev or an developing an interesting game, otherwise no one will care about something they themselves do, probably better

I've considered it, but idk who would care about this current project since it's small, unity, and paint.net. Maybe on a future project while I explain design processes and methods so people can get insight on game dev. When I looked at twitch, most of the game dev streams had only a handful of viewers if it was game/code instead of art. Art had a ton more, this was at the top of Twitch Create.

I got some shooting mechanics but they are still kinda wonky.

>>187664243

It's mostly just low res textures with point filter and low poly models. I tried the vertex wobbling like the original ps1 had due to no floating points and only integers, but it was a bit too annoying for my taste.

>>187664258

thx! I would like to see it.

>>187664548

thanks!

>>187668816
Steaming coding was fun, 2 or 3 people watched some amount, but it was more about the constant progress that had to be made since people were watching

Probably 3x the productivity of normal devving

>>187666785
>affine texture mapping and vertex lighting
This seems much more complex, despite probably looking better

>>187668816
I've streamed 3d modelling before, got 30 people at once.

>>187669170
The potential audience would not be fellow devs. As a dev, that's one of the worst uses of your time. It would be gamers, and wannabes who will never actually make a game themselves.

>>187669394
What I've seen work is a 2-man studio, that switched back and forth to whoever was doing something interesting.

I've also thought about a very specific kind of stream, for a game that can be run as a pure simulation. Do a split screen between the last running build, and whatever you're doing at the moment.

Fleet: Tactical Command

Stop bullying me. I'll show my gameplay when I am good and ready.

Besides, this anon's >>187632675 FTL clone is focused more on internal management. FTC is focused on fleet management. I won't have any internal view of ships or the ability to give individual crew orders/tasks.

Pic related will be the internal overview.

Furthermore, I'm busy with another business venture to generate funding for FTC. Gamedev will need to be put on the back-burner while I sort out my financials.

Worked on the board(s), with lighter colors and also more space overall. Added the UI for Actions and Phase switching. Also players can have up to 6 cards in play at the same time (instead of 8). This helps me clean up a few mechanics, keep things organized and less packed and also promote more careful plays. Also each cards can now have various icons depending on the actions available (3 actions button and 1 Power counter, usually a card as one or two of these elements but the example here show the 4 of them at once on a single card, could happen via effects). Overall pretty happy, even if slow progress. I now need to make a proper pop-up for the selected cards in hand.

So how's your week so far guys?

Streamed devving Dungeon Break way back, got about 30 viewers, although I think most were fellow aggerdaggers

>>187669401
Same webm that I posted earlier showing the different PS1 shaders - this project is shelved for now, however, until I get better at 3D modelling and texturing.

a bit mediocre, I'm patching up the last few features of the game before moving onto graphics/reskinning sprites/sound but it's taken longer because of bugfixes and optimizations, plus I have to make some final decisions on what the player can spend upgrade points on/arranging the shop layout. I'm really close to getting this game done, though. minus the part where polish takes way more time than you ever think
