Proper room movement, gdscript being slow is a meme, i'm rebuilding the A* map from scratch every frame, no lag nor memory leaks.
As for people who asked how will this be different from FTL, the answer is game modes, basic mode is classic FTL, premade ships only with unlockables(ships, systems, quests, sectors), custom ship building (for this mode) only unlocked after unlocking every ship. until i finish this mode i won't add anything new, but i'm making it with the intent of being fully customizable (to support sandbox mode)
i'm open for suggestions, still need a better name

We discussed an idea I had yesterday, I don't know if you've seen it.
What I had in mind was a compromise between full customization and something that poses a challenge.
Instead of having the freedom to entirely build the layout, only give the player the option to add predefined parts to their ships after they buy them.

POST IDEAS FOR MECHANOID JAM
I kind of want o make a game about a gattai mecha but I'm not sure how that would work gameplay-wise. Do you control all the 'pieces' at once? Only one? Or one at a time in different parts of the level?

>>187724941
That combat looks more like Starsector with less control over it.

>>187723874
>no performance loss or memory leaks updating a whopping 44 cells

lol I would fucking hope not

>>187725182
that's working as intended, how are they supposed to see the player when it's behind the building

like they're supposed to go where the player was, not where the player is, it makes them look like zombies

the player comes out, the enemies are slow to react and charge where the player was

I'm working on a rpg made with game maker but I'm struggling with the fighting system.
Should I make it easy but low content or more full but more complex?

>>187725549
That looks pretty but I have no fucking idea what I'm looking at.
Are those supposed to be atoms forming covalent bonds ?

>my horrible programming is a complex, interesting game mechanic

OK.

>>187726140
they're supposed to act like zombies

i can make them go where the player is if i really want to, i literally just need to remove the system i have that fires a bullet at the player and sets the enemy target at that location

i think that the real solution is to reduce acceleration and maybe increase max speed

>>187726140
He's been like that for the whole time he's been in this thread, don't act surprised.

Yeah, I just read the other comment chains. He's just one of those people who cant' handle criticism and will be mediocre his entire life.

Space Game Mapping Scheme:

System (like an entire solar system) -> Sector (the area around a planet+moons) -> Zone (a small subset of space above a planet)

Make sense? Any better terms?

just trying to get started with modeling so i can become a 1ma

what are the things that should be done in the modeling software (in my case, blender), and what are the things that should be done in the engine (ue4 in my case)?

like make materials in blender or ue4? what sort of shit can ue4 import? like what goes into a .fbx or whatever

better example, front facing, non-cocked head, no z rotation, looks perfectly fine.

despite having good ideas and an intention to make a game, i cant find the mental strength to work on it alone. i think so much better when im able to bounce ideas back and forth with someone, and i work so much better when theres someone who can push me. its so frustrating because doing it alone feels more like work for me.

>>187727392
I feel the same anon, but also working alone is more boring.

>>187727375

>>187727014
It's okay, but you need to explain what the zone means.

tell me where the fault is instead of relying on your biased incapability to visualize 2d objects.

>>187727392
I feel the same way sometimes, but I value having 100% control over everything far too much to consider a collab situation

>>no performance loss or memory leaks
didn't change, overhead was actually from the physics, every room has 4 separate collision objects to check for overlapping, pathfinding still didn't cause anything, not that i'll ever have a ship this big.
>>187724432
i like that, i had something similar in mind, i just noticed that FTL ships never have a generator nor thrusters, it'll be a good idea to impose rules to build a ship that makes sense.

>>187728254
Everyone looks uglier on their drivers license because of how the shot is composed, most people will agree with me on that so even if there is an actual explanation I can't be fucked to search for it.

In Blender, why can I not weight paint my mesh? I can only paint a small part of t, but the rest is completely unaffected, although I selected it.

>>187727375
I don't know what people are complaining about. The only issue I can see is that light appears to be coming from the top and the bottom.

>>187728556
Are you using the built-in physics? Seems like overkill just for checking overlaps, you could store in each tile's position in an array and check if the array already has a position.

>>187729205
I don't even understand what are you trying to argue here, the tip that angled portraits look better is valid and your example doesn't exactly refutes it.

>>187728120
i expected red guy to blow up once people gather around

>>187729670
i just went with the simplest solution, this is only for debug, physic objects will be freed when playing since the ship will be static then

There's a difference in what they do, though. The first one places a reference to object.container.xyz to the stack once, the second one places a reference to it on the stack thrice.

Stuff is coming along nicely although extremely slowly. Enemies can't attack anymore ever since I reworked the combat system but it's alright because they're still brain-dead and their AI is to move towards the first unit in the friendlyUnits array.

Yes. Finding your game idea to be dull means i also find Mario to be dull, and since Mario is widely appreciated i'm wrong and your game idea is good.

Keep developing your idea.

Au contraire. Having a "cockpit" really helps with VR sickness.

I've worked on one. Sitting in a cockpit and driving at speeds around 30-50 km/h works fine if the road is flat and you do not collide with stuff. Collisions with other cars or obstacles, makes it vomit inducing.

If you want to puke try a flying simulator.

I'm thinking of having like...
>Starts with a Puzzle game similar to Magical Drop, Bust-a-move, or Tetris
>Then goes into a Metal Slug style thing
>Then into a short little JRPG
>then the finale is a 1 on 1 fighting game.

The whole thing is going to be a parody, and it's going to be really short (like 45 minute max) and it's meant to just be a crazy whirlwind of shit thrown at you at a lightning fast pace.

Thoughts? Anything to be worried about in a project like this?

That's because you need to scale down the values in your material too. If you want to make it scale automatically, divide your values by the object scale.

Don't do it with parameters, simply divide your values you'd expose as parameters by Object radius inside of the material (no need to use Object Scale if you're using a sphere) and adjust them once for good.

You didn't get it anon. The problem is that the original author would have proof this idea is his, and even if you were sure you would win you would still have to undertake a very slow judicial process to prove that you didn't steal his content.

>>187742893
Who here is going to sue anyone over a shit aborted start of a game? In which universe would this be a good profitable idea? You genuinely think someone on aggydaggy could make bank with the dead projects random fags gave up on?

>>187743070
It really depends on which country you are. If you are on China knock yourself out.

And while ideas cannot (at least shouldn't) be copyrighted, you would still be using their content into your action. Only if you completely remade it, and at that point you would be better starting from a scratch.

>>187739967
Traps

>>187743269
Yes, and the person can go and say "I didn't agree to that" or "I didn't read this point". There is no contract, you literally cannot prove he knew about it. While it would be a point in your favor, it would depend on judge.

>>187743281
The owner of the original content stuff. While that would be very nasty, it's not something impossible to happen.

>>187743498
>the person can go and say "I didn't agree to that" or "I didn't read this point"

>>187743704
>EULAs wouldn't matter
Sometimes they don't.

>>187743704
EULAs actually doesn't. If a judge finds that an EULA (just like a contract) is unfair he can easily throw it out.

>>187743889
Really anon? Feel free to enlighten me then how it does.

>>187737989
It's pretty important, coming up with interesting but reasonable ideas (aka not an _____ MMORPG like ___ and ____ but with ___ and more features) and good designs for everything. I'm actually surprised that I rarely see requests for writers here if any.

>>187744303
Because generally people who make games want to make something that's theirs. If you get someone else to design the game for you, you basically become a wage slave but with no pay.

>>187739967
Things to discover beyond gameplay elements. The dungeons should have character.

>>187744303
A lot of famous games had stories and context added after the foundation or core of the game was done, if not later.

>>187744575
>>187745021
I suppose that makes more sense. I'm wondering why I don't do it myself and then I just thought similar things. Fuck, being an ideaguy when you want to is actually hard.

Just to clarify, I wasn't implying that just because a story is added after the game development has started means it's not important.

There's a huge number of game stories that I love immensely. I do consider it a very positive aspect of a game, and think that the philosophy such as Carmac's "It's like a story in porn" is ignorant and infantile. However, the games with stories I love are so fond to me because the gameplay allows the writing to be enjoyed by applying context and depth, and a bit of added fun, to an already thoroughly enjoyable experience.

>>187745723
I have a playable tech demo as is, but I would like to collect some feedback on movement which would need a lot of new maps. It's a hard choice.

Meshes are often subdevided into different parts. How can subdivide a part into an own part?

When sculpting characters in ZBrush, does it matter if you aim to create a T-Pose for re-topology and rigging? Also, do you create clothes after or during the process of creating a character if you plan to create more later? Because if you create clothes as part of the characters and mesh and later decide to add more clothes, wouldn't you have to start over?

Yeh, it looks sfw and the art look like it would appeal to children. There's cute that appeals to grown ups too, like all the Pixar characters, but his style reminds me of things tailored specifically for children under 10, like pic related.
I'm asking because if his objective is to have something that sells, his art direction is narrowing his market down to a very specific niche (children's games) and if it's not intentional then it's a problem.
He does have a consistent and good style though, so that's a nice plus.

I've tried to draw different things and make differeng game prototypes and realized after all that what I can do best - is cute. Even though I always wanted to make some brutal beat-em-up or flashy shooter, whenever I start to dev seriously I get some cute girly story in the end. So I gave up and started working on something that I seems to do best.

Interesting, so you are just following the path of least resistance, it's weird because you art looks like you could do other things very well too.
Anyways best of luck and keep it up.

Why is it so rare that you see the creators of a game answer questions in the forum for their game or in the chat of their game being streamed on Twitch?

I have an idea why you should avoid that as a developer, but I severely doubt that everybody has the same idea as me. I don't think you want to be accessible to your playerbase because I feel like it encourages them to want to point out design flaws of the game to you, like they'll be actively trying to dissect anything about the game, no matter how superfluous the "flaw" may be. By being a mysterious entity that nobody can talk to, you aren't really in the mindset of being a critic on this individual's judgment.

I think it's the same reason why you don't meet your chef when you go out to a restaurant.

It's an easy fix though, just add overlaying text, you could even integrate it with the HUD somehow.
(E) Open popping up would have fixed your problem.
Also, get used to it, it's incredible how most users perceive a completely different thing from devs. There's a GDC talk about Sid Meier going through this, he explains how they had to adjust a lot of things for players, a very interesting one was that some of them thought a 10/20 chance of winning was better than a 1/2 chance.

>>187753245
Players don't have time for your shit, and if you don't account for this, you are to blame.

>>187754691
>>187754824
Yeah that's something I should keep in mind.
Honestly I just figured that someone playing would at least take the 2.5 seconds it takes to glance over the inputs but I guess that's asking too much.
Yeah a popup control prompt would be better but it was a jam game and it's long over now.

>>187753245
>"next"
I think I know who you're talking about.

I've included a menu that describes all the buttons in the game and exactly what they do. Plus describing game mechanics. People STILL don't read it and just complain about not knowing what to do.

This is why every game has a tutorial level at the start. The only way to get someone to learn is to force them to learn by making the first level a tutorial. This isn't a bad thing of course, it can be an "invisible" tutorial that doesn't feel like a tutorial. But of course this is out of scope for jam games most of the time.
