>thinking about learning Unity

Should I do it /agdg/? I feel like working on a 2D game, what is Unity 2D like?

>>70787776
Unity used to be shit, now it's "not bad" and it's getting better and better with each major version.
I would start learning Unity, also if you are already familiar with C# you are pretty much good to go you only need to get familiar with the interface and entity system

>>70787776
Unity is neat. With C#/XNA in your pocket you could try C++/SFML

>>70788037
I'm fairly good at programming with C# because it was my first language, I know how to use classes etc. well but there are a lot of aspects I'm unfamiliar with (e.g. interfaces). Also I have used Unity once before, I went through a 3DBuzz tutorial to create some space shooter game so I'm familiar with the interface too, but I've never used Unity2D.

>>70786580
>gay fisting guy OP
why do you keep posting this shitty image? why are you the worst OP?

Reminder that 99% of Unity projects get dropped.

Hey, I just started making a game yesterday, anyone interested in buying early access for just $20?

OP pics have been exceptionally poor lately. I've been meaning to start a thread myself but there's always either the anime OP trying to force anime into the OP by posting the thread as early as possible or the anti-anime OP trying to one-up the anime OP by posting his threads even earlier.

Fuck these threads, man.

Because people keep telling them they dont need to know how to program to use unity or that c# is extremely easy, then they go out and maybe get a few very basic things working thinking it'll be a breeze, and of course fail after some months.

this isnt specific to unity though. its with just making games in general

It's really sad that only 1 or 2 of those in that picture still post progress here. Half of them are dead, and the rest stay on tumblr.

How insane would it be to have a unique splatmap texture for every object in a scene?

My artist talked about it today when we had a pipe dreaming session. He said his dream would be to be able to pick any surface in the game world and paint any texture onto it. I did some calculations and couldn't find a reason why it couldn't be done with the memory available.

YOU stop shitposting.

>>70789759
For King and A Nation of Wind were actually finished, I believe. So not dead. You need a new color for the few finished games. Also, the 2D zelda guy second from right should be red and not yellow. Dev dropped the game and switched to Crystal Gun Girl.

...I just realized I spend way too much time here.

nice, any particular reason why you chose cryengine?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyfmd9ZMyIw
this cryengine game is pretty impressive but not sure if it's a good tech for us "indies"

>>70790140

Because of its use in the industry at the moment. I could just as easily switch back to Unity but the amount of pigfuck ugly unity games out there kind of kills that for me. The new 2d interface with Unity has me interested though.

I wanted to work with a game engine that had some power to it, for the most part.

If your game had to be a console exclusive, which one and why?

No PC

>>70790832
PSVita
because no games

>>70790140
I think most people dont care to use Cryengine because there's really no reason if you arent making some highly realistic game like Skyrim, which most people dont care to do. small indie teams usually never try to compete with AAA companies.

>>70790832
WiiU/3DS, because it has a far bigger audience and is actually meant for playing games.

At the moment, I see it as a good opportunity to have a fully stocked engine that I do not have to pay for extra usability(Fuck you, Unity) and with no cut into my end profit other than the 9 dollars a month access fee(Fuck you, Unreal)

>>70791420
the fuck is this?

>>70791420
is this real? lol

>>70791535


You're retarded. Unreal gives you full source access now, which is worth it alone, given it used to cost like a million dollars. Unreal is indie friendly. Cryengine copied its subscription model because of that

>>70791502
Valve's gone full retard. That thing is going to out-die the Vita.

>>70791550
Valve is making a handheld.

>The standard edition SteamBoy is slated for a 2015 release, with support for WiFi and 3G networks.

>>70791634

Right, I was going to get into unreal but Cryengine offered a slightly better deal...Not taking my money after i made the game. Which Unreal does, unless they made a counter change to their model.

>>70791808

You are not going to make a good "indie" game with cryengine.

>>70791872

Oh sorry, I'll just make a wrist cutting simulator. That will be Indie enough for the "indie" game dev crowd, right? The sound track will be "How could this happen to me" by Simple Plan.

I started writing my game in C++, however it takes really long to get anything remotely useful. That's fine if the project is going to be large and easily expandable, but I'd like to make some shorter, shittier games in order to get my design skills up.

I thought LOVE would be a good place to try this out. I want to make a platformer to try some stuff out. Should I use love.physics or code that stuff myself? I was using Box2d in my C++ project for platforming, but the LOVE docs say that love.physics is more complex than is needed for platforming.

Are they full of shit, or is there a simpler way to do simple stuff?

>>70792117
I want to make a video game, preferably not an engine. And I do know basic opengl that is.

>>70792945
>750 is the bump limit

>>70792791
I don't really get what your point is. I've never made a full fledged game before, so it seems silly to pour a ton of time into writing a C++ engine for a game I don't really have the experience to make. Why not start small and then make sure the game I want to make is within my abilities?

Hey guys,
I just turned off the lights in my room, I found it to be much nicer like this, in the dark, with only the monitors on.

>>70792554

Actually, that is not a bad idea. just make some basic simulator and imply that it is about the injustice that women face. That way half of the indie crowd will be forced to buy it immediately or face being more public shaming as enemies of women. Game of the year.

>>70793673
as many as a controller can support, so 8-10

>>70793159

Do this. A paper based on The Talent Code on gamasutra, describes the best way to learn is by setting yourself projects just beyond your understanding. If you aim too high when you're inexperienced, you'll be trying to shoot down a plane with a bow.

make old ass game remakes like tetris, pong, pac-man. Most people who become exceptionally talented at things do it like this

>>70793736
>game is about global warming

So it's a fantasy game then?

so some faggot kid out of school is making the threads now

>>70793927
I agree, which is why I wanted to make smaller games in something easy to set up, like LOVE. I didn't want to have to worry about things like extensibility, or memory management, or any number of other things. I want to make something short and sweet as a learning experience.

To answer my own question, I think I'm just going to use love.physics, since I already understand Box2D which it is based on.

>>70794249

OK, which one of you is this

>>70794251

C++ with SFML or SDL. Alternatively, Marmalade or other simpler game SDKs if you want to get into mobile and shit.

Learn OOP, since making games with C++ is all about it. The absolute best books would be C++ primer (5th edition), and Accelerated C++.

Alternatively, buy the Primer and sign up to GameInstitute (google it, basically they wrote their own degree programme that covers everything from basic c++ through to 3D graphics and DirectX, AI, and an assload of useful maths. Easily comparable to any university course for game programming)

My current "engine" is using C++ with SFML, Box2D, and now I'm thinking about adding in EntityX. EntityX is a bit young, but I hate writing code that someone else has already written. I'm going to test out the library and see if writing my own ECS would be better.

I'm already pretty good at OOP (I write Enterprise Java at work ;_;) and I've ready Accelerated C++. However I'd really like to read something on modern C++ and best practices along with C++11 stuff.

Read "Effective C++" by Scott Meyers. if you don't, people might think you're a noo. I once saw an advert for a job at the company that make the Total War games, and they also directly advised to read that book.

You might also consider Professional C++ (2nd edition, if a more up to date one isn't already out), but Effective C++ is considered a seminal piece of work

I realized I could easily fake particle interactions by reading the velocity buffer in the particle update shader. This lets the particles slow down when they hit a ship and a quick stream of particles will draw other particles along with it. It's not even terribly heavyweight, just one texture lookup per particle.

its a little easier at first because theres less setup needed to get something workable showing, i.e. you just draw whatever and get basic collision detection (resolution not entirely necessary), while with a platformer you need to get proper resolution sorted out because of gravity

after that there are two main things that i think are easier to work with on a top-down perspective: ai and level design. making good levels for a platformer is actually harder than it seems, while for a top down game it comes more naturally for whatever reason. similarly, making interesting enemies for a platformer is harder than it is for top down too for whatever reason

It should miss pretty often, although particles from one emitter are next to each other in the particle data texture, meaning they might overlap on the screen occasionally. But mostly it's just going to be a random point somewhere on the screen.

Progress.

Took a break from the attack anims to get started on the reload. It looks pretty bland and bad but I can't really figure out why.

For the record the final version of this will have the magazine itself go invisible at the end of the "chuck" while simultaneously spawning a duplicate mesh that will then get physics'd before disappearing, then the magazine will become visible again when the hand is underneath the shoulder pad.

The advantage to doing the reload this way, rather than just animating the throw in its entirety and having the magazine mesh snap back, is that turning or moving while reloading won't cause the movement of the magazine to track the player's body unrealistically.

>>70799036
He hasn't updated that in nearly two weeks. I'm pretty sure he's posted in here since then. Gamedev is a slow process, you don't always have anything worth showing.

If you post every time you make a slight bit of progress, people will bitch at you or ignore you. If you don't post progress frequently, people will bitch at you and complain about the lack of progress. You really can't win around here.

Does anybody know a good Love2D video tutorial series? I want to see what it can.

Alternative question: What are some game frameworks that are fun to fool around with?

>>70799340
he did something slightly silly by making the early access 25$ but the actual release 10$. He did it because he realized that 25$ was too much but he didn't want to screw his kickstarter backers over by offering the same deal for a lower price to people who came later.

one samefag in AGDG created a fake shitstorm about it because he thought destroying the community was amusing.

>>70799725
It's not silly, a lot of game kickstarters offer beta access at a higher price tier. It's better and easier than physical rewards that might end up costing more than you expect. The AGDG autism-squad didn't have anything to bitch about for a while, so a few of them started a shitstorm over it.

O-ok...

>>70800247
Thank you, but it isn't. But it really helps me to see it rendered; there's an unintentional clipping with the hand plate and the shoulder pad, the fingers need to move more during the magazine slap-in (flatten on the way up, curl around the impact). The gun's upward momentum from the slap-in is rigid and awkward. The torso curves from "neutral" to the sideways stance of the aim too smoothly, like he starts aiming before he's even aiming. Making the face track the hand motions (like he's looking at what he's doing) is also off, he should be snapping his head around more with less smooth interpolation (seriously, who watches a thing move like their head's on a turntable tracking it?)

But it's getting there.

I also need to make the active reload animation both radder AND shorter, so I may need to extend some of the timing on this to make that plausible.

Such a button doesn't exist on the mesh, but a valid point, simulating tha type of action makes sense. And also a good note on the throw, why would he turn his head to watch the discarded mag?

>>70801626
You need juice on prototypes to see if it plays well or not. If you're working on a prototype and you don't do the meat of the game properly then you can never assess how interesting that gameplay is

>>70801804
Dude, the gameplay is already there. They're copying Splatoons.

>>70801891
If they're copying Splatoons then they'll need fluid dynamics, which leads us back to my initial point.

>>70801068
I do, and I could, I suppose. Though depending on the size of such a button it might wind up a completely irrelevant detail, especially considering the normal map does VERY little for this game (with toon shading, a detail has to exist between two discrete levels of shading for the normalled geometry to be visible, which means the detail is only visible when partially exposed to extremely harsh lighting).

Where on an M16 is the magazine eject button or whatever?

>>70802036
Jesus christ, is it that hard to understand? I said they're copying Splatoons, but not 1 by 1. They don't need fluid dynamics to copy the gameplay.

>>70801015
Seriously? You're literally copying that fucking ink wii game that was just shown at E3?

God damn these people are pathetic. And the sad thing is I know they spent more than 1 hour on it, so its not a joke.

If the game involves shooting ink and being able to move through it, I hope you plan on getting sued.

>>70802148
>>70802156
Well, yes. But it's gonna suck if it doesn't look juicy... And a good way to get fluids to look juicy is by simulating them dynamically, which is what all games that feature fluids as a gameplay mechanic do.

But I get it, it's just a prototype and that guy will never finish it and no one will play it because he's doing it just to learn or whatever

>>70802156
>If the game involves shooting ink and being able to move through it, I hope you plan on getting sued.
Just FYI you can't copyright game mechanics. Copyright demands uniqueness, not novelty. As long as the assets and code are original creations, the game can be as much of a shameless rip off as it pleases and still be perfectly legal.

Not that it matters because nobody is actually going to make the game, just talk about it.

Trying to figure out how to make something like this that is volumetric, or at least that looks like it has volume enough that it looks like you're walking through it. I was thinking about taking it off in layers and putting sprites at different angles through one another, but I don't think that would create the effect I want.

I think I need particles. Any tips on how to get effects I want with particles?

Hello there /agdg/, i require advice from a musicbro.

I am looking into trying to make some simple music for a project of mine. I have no real music making experience.
I am looking for a 'simple' program to allow me to get my toes wet for music making.
I have played around with Anvil Studio before and i do like how simple and easy it is to work with. But the fact I'm stuck with generic midi sounds is a huge turnoff.
I have also looked into FL studio, but all the buttons, menus, switches and options make my brain want to implode.
Im looking for a program that has the 'easy to use, hard to master' feel to it. As in, anyone could use it, but if someone wanted, it could be used for more advanced compositions.
Alternatively, anything simple to use would be fine.
Another small requirement is being able to use sounds that i can put into it myself and set as instruments.
Also, im not looking into making technoish songs, so 'repeater' programs wont work for what im wanting.

I feel as though i have a good ear for BGM. Where it can be used, the theme of the sounds and how to replicate it. but when i look online for music makers, people seem to list overly complicated programs that are hard to wrap my mind around.

So...yeah, anyone have any advice for 'babbys first music program'?
Bonus points if its a program on a android, so i can work on it on the go, but not necessary whatsoever.

Interesting.

I take it that the button is meant to be reached with the trigger finger, NOT the hand that would take hold of the magazine, like so..? That seems extremely impractical but actually REACHING said button with the hand holding the magazine would be challenging, it seems...

Welp, if I'm wrong I've at least got some trigger discipline animated in.

>>70802831
>>70803664
Also that isn't detail in the normal to the left of the red circle, it's actual geometry.

This is because at that point the sword and gun-sheath have a seam, and those latches will actually shape the silhouette if the sword is in the player's hand while the sheath is still on his back.

>>70803178
don't use particles or billboards. it'll look like shit, since a nebula is defined by its shape and not by its motion.

http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGems3/gpugems3_ch30.html

what you want is some kind of volume rendering technique. since a nebula is basically static, you can compute all of the fluid simulation stuff at load time or even build time. there's no need to do it every frame, which cuts out 90% of the processing cost.

>>70803664
Pretty much. Consider that it looks like either the gun is huge, or the hand is tiny, so that's why it may look impractical.

So maybe I should place the button here, on the actual receiver (?) component, rather than next to the trigger mechanism.

>>70803495
Just learn how to use FL Studio. It's very cheap for DAW with such great possibilities.

>>70804302
Wherever seems practical.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Game, is in fact, ENGINE/Game, or as I've recently taken to calling it, ENGINE plus Game. Game is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning ENGINE system made useful by the engine corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full interactive system as defined by maths.

Many computer users run a modified version of the ENGINE system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of ENGINE which is widely used today is often called Game, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the ENGINE system, developed by the Fuck 2D Project.

There really is a Game, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Game is the logic: the layer in the system that twiddles with the machine's resources to maintain the shitgame that you play. The logic is an essential part of an interactive system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete interactive system. Game is normally used in combination with the ENGINE interactive system: the whole system is basically ENGINE with Game added, or ENGINE/Game. All the so-called Game varieties are really variations of ENGINE/Game.

>>70804358
Well practical is going to be slightly discoloring a sideways U shape right there on the texture map for the gun, not bothering with the normal map at all, and using the "trigger discipline" position to semi-kinda indicate that something is being done to the feeder (?) there to release the magazine.

Not that literally ANYONE will notice, but subtle touches might make the gun feel nice.

>>70804503

the way i do my one way platforms is that they have no collision when the player is below them, and only gain their collision mask once the player is 1 pixel above.

however, if i jump through a platform and spam the jump key, if i jump right the second the player gets above the platform, he somehow gets stuck in there 1 pixel deep and the game freezes.

i've been looking over my code and i think the problem is that i check wether or not my player can jump by if he's touching a surface.

here's my vertical collision code:

//vertical collision
if place_meeting(x,y+vsp,par_wall)
{
while(!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vsp),par_wall)) y+=sign(vsp);
if (sign(vsp) == 1) grounded = 1;
vsp = 0;
}
else
{
grounded = 0;
}
y += vsp;

Is there any free graphic tools with scrubby zoom feature like in Photoshop? I can't into Gimp or Paint.net because of lack of scrubby zoom

>>70806436
Just use photoshop?

Last I checked this wasn't /g/.

>40 lines of code
What's up with people taking years to make 2d platformers, seriously? Overgrowth could have been released in 2 years if it wasn't refactored every month by that autist, but 2d platformers?

>>70806631
yeah i know how google works
that's the first video i watched, doesn't help me because his method of jumping and checking for jumping doesn't work the same as mine

>>70806436
what is scrubby zoom?

>>70806831
Zooming for scrubs.

>>70806335
move the grounded = blah after your vertical collision/apply vsp code and change it to

grounded = place_meeting(x,y-1,par_wall);

>>70806831
What is google?

Shit like this is bound to end in disaster.

Take a step back and rethink how you want to design your code.

>>70806793
my platformer has like 400 lines of code right now, granted it has actual animation tho. am i doing it wrong?

>>70806831
The best type of zoom if you use tablet. You just hold mouse button (or pen on tablet) and move cursor left to zoom out and right to zoom in

>>70806957
yeah now that i think about it, this seems pretty dumb. i-i'm sorry...

>>70806981
If you are using game maker then yes you are doing something wrong

>>70806921
sorry wrong sign:

grounded = place_meeting(x,y+1,par_wall);

to be clearer now the code would be

//vertical collision
if place_meeting(x,y+vsp,par_wall)
{
while(!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vsp),par_wall)) y+=sign(vsp);
vsp = 0;
}
y += vsp;

grounded = place_meeting(x,y+1,par_wall);

W-what if I making 2,5D game?

This is bait/shitposting, only reply if you're an idiot.

>>70807106
it ain't that bad. RoR was made in game maker too

>>70807205
Then you're not making a 3D game, are you?

because you're too stupid to realize that <insert_genre_here> can be as complex as you want, hence taking quality time.

You can check enemies during combat.

The stat bars at the bottom aren't final, but their heights will vary according to the stat.

Why are you giving him satisfaction, you know he is doing it just to stir shit and annoy anime fags?
I'm pretty sure he is the subtle saboteur, you know something is wrong when fucking googum is complaining..

Wisp gonna get Br the Fr Shco!

Anons, mind if I take shelter here from shitposters in Splatoon thread?
And a question: how would you guys handle the calculation of the area of a specific color on a flat surface? Would low level c++ bitmap handler + c# code a good idea?
The other guy suggested octree but I want to hear different methods

>>70808857
Octree is literally made for that..

does AGDG like to make math-based programming art?

this is something i really want to explore as i learn more and more about programming.

heres some shit i did from a book
