God I fucking hate shaders.https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MsjXDmWhat is vec2, 3 and 4? Why does the code look like it's reversed? Also I don't understand how I can utilize math functions like cos and sin in shaders. Fuck I hate it so much it's unreal.
Finally adding rain. This is just how the visuals will look, though there's 10 different levels of how strong of a rain it is, from a light trickle to an absolute deluge. Something I had to do though was make the opacity inverse to how much it's actually raining. If there's little rain, it's fairly opaque. If there's a ton of rain, it needs to be almost invisible. I still need to come up with sounds for it, as well as make it so the rain makes creatures wet.

>>483681126
>>483681606Yeah I realized that right after posting.
>>483681383>though there's 10 different levels of how strong of a rain it isWould you happen to be stuck in feature creep? What's questioning is your phrasing implies there's no 2 states, from light to strong, and a slider just going from one to another.Did you implement 10 states manually? For what purpose?
Can I make characters like this with MetaHuman?
>>483681631already covered on that one
>>483681606>go through this website, it will help(no it isn't a literal book)Thanks. I think it'll be a tedious job.

How does one get on that sweet sweet blackrock deal?
>>483680482That video was a fun one. Watching it again made me wonder, since the texture CDs are abandonware you'd probably be fine if you used them in your game, right? It could be a cool nod to those old games when making your own retro 3d game. It could also help nailing the look.
>>483681151The premise is its a CoClike but dwarf fortress autism.
it's actually starting to sort of feel like a factory game... pictured is a resource network transferring fuel pellets from storage containers to engines. First time I actually have something worth showing as progress
>>483681916Unironically, no. Metahuman isn't that morphable.
>>483682823Pretty sure you need an audience of millions first. They're also losing money so bad that the board started raising questions.

>>483682997Cool stuff. Keep it up. Feels good to watch.
>>483682997hey cool I like factories
So after playing Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance (my first SMT game), I really really want to get into game development (I know some coding, but the rest not so much)I wanna try to make something similar to SMT (turn-based monster catching in 3D). I'll try to make a MVP and see if I actually wanna try to make a full game (I assume its going to be extreme amounts of work)I have to learn modeling, so I'm currently going through the Donut tutorial for Blender on youtube. When it comes to game engine, I haven't decided yet but I'm leaning towards Unreal. Do you guys have any experience with it? Is it easy to work with? Thank you in advance
Progress: I made a sound tweak file that hotloads in the running game, so I can balance everything as I hear it. Has a little upkeep, but it's way more convenient compared to having to edit the sound file for base volume, and gives me more options when it comes to how much to randomize the volume/pitch, etc.>>483682997Cool, the connections remind me of Harvest: Massive Encounter and the Creeper World games. Though if it's just gonna be conveyors later that's fine too.
In the industry, is there devs specialized in building debug tools?
>>483683846that's engine dev stufftools programmer if they care enough
>>483683361>>483683467thanks friends, I hope the fact that the factory is also on a ship might be appealing as well>>483683562they will be tubes because it doesn't really conceptually make sense to use conveyor belts, as much as I love them so
>>483684063A factory on a spaceship? Yeah. I'm all in, baby. Playing next DD it's in.
>>483684063>I hope the fact that the factory is also on a ship might be appealing as wellboat ship or space ship?
>>483684156next DD since it's still just a glorified tech demo but I'm starting to add actual game mechanics instead of the foundational stuff>>483684246I get the impression you'd prefer a boat, it is a space ship, but ideally won't be traditional space in the sense that I don't want big empty nothing everywhere
>>483684636>I get the impression you'd prefer a boatno, I wouldn't play a boat game. I've had panic attacks on land thinking about the ocean.
>>483683118CoC was an old school text adventure transformation sex game made by fenoxo. The game play loop was exploring random areas collecting items that would transform you if you ate them and fighting monsters/people/demons/furries that would rape you/ transform you if you lost to them and could be raped/transformed/stolen from if you beat them. The goal was kill all the demons and dig up all the demon cum so the land wouldn't be so rapey anymore. Until the furries started paying him 5000 a month to make horse/fox furries the main goal of the thing. He was also clinically retarded when it came to coding so everything was hard-coded in the worst possible way. My body map can literally accommodate infinite body parts into the menu. His couldn't accommodate 2 different types of tails. This is mostly a spite project for that reason but when I'm done ill have the grand daddy of all transformation style games set up.
>>483683537If you want to make it by yourself go with godot or unity. Unreal is good for visual scripting/blueprints
Any engines that have a Unity-like dev experience but have double precision coordinates?
>>483681345>Fuck I hate it so much it's unrealAt least you don't hate it so much it's godot.Also. vec2 3 and 4 are just vectors, or lists of numbers of a certain length that get used for different things, like A vec2 might describe coordinates on a texture, a vec3 might describe a position in space, a vec4 mostly gets used to describe the red green blue and transparency of a color.
I want to start a new project: Voices of the Void like but you're the commander of a Solar Power Satellite (SPS) or general purpose space station. It will be a lever, knob and switches-like with satisfying clicks for switches and such. But I'm not sure if I want to go with Unreal or Godot. VotV is UE and I want to learn UE to be able to go into the industry proper at some point + UE might be better with dealing with space-scales, but Godot is just easier, more lightweight and there are absolutely no strings attached.
>>483685305>If you want to make it by yourself go with godot or unityI thought Godot was a meme when it comes to 3D or did I get trolled
>>483685498I want to do a game like that too.
Progress post instead of chatting.Cut tons of content:- items- equipment stats- equipment powers- currencies- random Opportunities roll- the "roguelite shop" feature- lots of Opportunities- player stats (ATK/DEF/CRIT/MANA...)Changes:- Instead of climbing Floors, you gain Power (player level)- The whole game is now about avoiding DEATH (there's avoiding dying, but I'm speaking about avoiding DEATH)- The game is now Arcade instead of a Roguelite RPGNext:- Close that build for DD- Adapt my Codex so that it's full at the start, with only 1 or 2 pages of simple instructions (instead of getting full as you go).- Add a True Victory path (a twist)- QOL- Art Design- Polish- Sound DesignI'm also heavily considering changing the name of the game since the direction changed so much. I'm gathering names and will see how it goes.
>>483685301Actually sounds like a kino rpg.
>>483685301were you the guy anatomy posting about lymph nodes?
>>483685530Idk I use Unity, my only advice is focus on coding and working in the engine over modeling UNLESS you plan to use your prototype to find a coder.
>>483685432Godot has optional double precision, but you have to compile the engine from source using cmd argument "float=64" or some such.
how can I make my top down game without somebody immediately labeling it as an RPG maker game?
>>483685830don't make it in rpgmaker
>>483685432>>483685734What is double precision in short? Why do you want it?
>>483685659Nice. I haven't see Treasure Seeker in a very long time. I don't even know if you lurk.
>>483685554I've been reading a lot of projectrho and looking at concept art for nasas Star-Raker
>>483685830You can tell it's an RPG Maker game because it has 4 frames for movement.
>>483685830Make it with Wolf RPG Engine
>>483685830This >>483685659 is RPG MakerYou gotta find an artstyle, and have some mechanics/systems untypical of what comes stock. The only thing that makes an RPG Maker game a RPG maker game are the stock assets, the loud as fuck retarded title menu, and the battle system.Add some colors and style, 2-3 mechanics. Just make a cool game who cares if it's RPG Maker.
>>483685734I don't like how Godot is structured.>>483685886Using doubles instead of floats for the coordinate system means you won't suffer from floating point errors and can work with a way bigger world without having to come up with hacks to avoid those floating point errors. Mostly relevant to open world games, flight and space sims and such.
My game is jank as shit and I can't fix any of it.
>>483685663It was actually really fun all things considered. I just wish fenoxo wasn't retarded and furries didn't exist to pay him so much money. Though if the furries started paying me 5000 dollars a month I'd make a furry fork of my game too desu. >>483685672Yes. I was also posting about a reverse parser for complex description functions and menu states but that was some months ago. I actually have to refractor a bunch of code eventually when the time comes but its just not worth it until I've finished the main body graph and can start giving the body parts reasons to exist. Beyond because I can.
>>483685891I stopped lurking hard for 6+ months because the quality of the threads was wearing me down.No idea if it changed or if it's me but I came back monday, and it's been a lot more pleasurable.Also thanks for your comment thumbs up.
>>483685958Projectrho is cool. I haven't got far enough into for when it starts getting technical, but I usually look at the practical stuff like the inside of Endeavour, ISS and cockpits of airbuses, jets and older fighters.
>>483686124furfags ruin everything as usualthat's why you need to bully them
Again had that nightmare about failing a math exam at highschool10 years passed and I still get themWonder why there are no popular horror games about it
>>483686081After a quick search, Flax seems to have it. No idea what that engine is like, but it's c#.https://docs.flaxengine.com/manual/release-notes/1_4/index.html#64-bit-world-coordinates
>>483686173it's good to take a break once you notice itthis place isn't good for you
>>483686202>Wonder why there are no popular horror games about itprobably because it's not a common fear
>>483686202baldi?
>>483686184I'm more more into eldritch body horror myself so the main meat of the transformation is extra limbs, organs where they don't belong, eyes, flesh tentacles, etc. But I will likely build the functionality for furry transformations in the source code but not enable them until I'm being payed a ransom price by furries to do so.
>>483685659Bold strategy, looking forward to how it pans out.
>>483686202For me it's nightmares about essay exams or not finishing essays in time
>>483685659are you gonna separate a build for this and the old onethey seem so different
>>483686369by pandering to them you are part of the problem.
>>483686202Failure is already in horror games. You have to solve a puzzle in a timely manner.
>>483686553I understand but they're the only ones who pay out for this kind of thing. First and foremost I'm a capitalist. I hope my game can stand on its own merits as a roman/lovecraftian body horror transformation game but if I can't get income otherwise then I won't have an option. I work 60 hours a week at a hospital as a night laborer I don't want to do that forever.
>>483686081You call them hacks, but they're the solution. Using doubles won't solve your issue.
How does /agdg/ feel about the GZDoom game engine?
>>483686248That seems alright. Looking through the documentation it seems to have the basic features I need. >>483686802>Using doubles won't solve your issue.Explain.
>>483686387If I finish it as a product even if it's shit, it'll be major.>>483686489Not really. I have backups of the project file, if I ever need something back I can go and pick. For now the goal is to complete this not even thinking of the mess I keep in, behind curtains.
>>483687083for the downloads page is will there be two buildsforgot to clarify
>>483686202that's not so bad I keep having dreams about hostile ayylmaos invading earth on their RGB UFOs
>>483687136Did not think of it. I guess while the game is not done Itch is a good place to just post builds in chain. But once I'm done I don't see a regular reason to keep several versions. That would be confusing and this is no project worthy of having an historical presence I think.
>>483685659When are you going to tick the Windows checkbox for your zip file on itch?
>>483686202>had a test recently panicked for a week then had 3 nightmares in a row about failing it on the night before it then failed it

How do homing projectiles generally work in games? Are there any checks after the initial one done at instantiation?>Player Fires Projectile>No valid targets at time of firing so the projectile moves forward>Valid target appears 1s after projectile is in motion.What should I do here? Make it follow the target or not?
before vs after
>>483682231oh hes comin alright
>>483689432Upgrade in everything ASIDE of the trees
>>483689590I was never trying to make a 2003 game. I'm making a 1998 game and that's final
>>483689429Move the homing code to the projectile so it does the calculation after creation instead of before. It's called object oriented programing for a reason.
>>483689429Could make it two different types. For example>>heat seeking>actively looks for targets in the direction it's flying towards>doesn't track perfectly>explodes on a relatively short fuse >>lockon>needs a lock before it can be fired>tracks target better>won't change targets>flies until it collides or gets destroyed
>>483689432not an /agdg/ game
>>483689693Thats what i have currently, the question is more in regards to what should be the proper behavior of the projectile if no targets are aquired on time of instantation.
Is this a good setup for the beginning of an rpg? >simple enter name and pick between some characters>20 lines of text giving you some context on story and/or objectives>tutorial combat>tutorial for world navigation and/or puzzle solvingI think it should take about 30 mins tops to go through all this.
>>483686932>>483688861We feel fine, thanks.
>>483689429Give the projectile a target detection range
>>483689432Blend the grass and dirt textures
>>483689772The heat seeking idea is brilliant actually. Thank you.
>>483689778It's project arcane you cocksuckin crustmuncher>>483689642Just don't go for 1995 game, bad things happened that year
>>483689806In real life they just follow the firing arch if they aren't locking onto anything. Guided missiles will try to lock on to stuff if they can but that depends on how robust the engines are.
>>483689809>>20 lines of text giving you some context on story and/or objectivesain't nobody gonna read that>30 minute tutorialzoomies will drop out at minute 2
>>483689907I have one, it's more about what the player actually wants to happen if the projectile has traveled a certain amount of time without an intial target.
>>483685498I'm going with Unreal Engine
>>483690086Whats the cutoff then? I was aproximating 30 minutes from game starting till player's on their own. Most games that are heavy on handholding have hours long tutorials.
>>483690325>>483690086Also I don't mean a fixed tutorial but a "tutorial level" with some tooltips and help here and there.
i had an idea before i went to bed but i forgot it
>>483690865If you forgot it so easily it probably wasn't that interesting.
>>483689809Either optimize for a story or for gameplay. Your proposition seems to be gameplay first, as a standard RPG would first setup the context and the story before introducing you to the mechanics.But that's not a definitive formula. Figure out if your game is about story or gameplay, how long it'll be.To answer your question it's a good setup, but if there's a story be sure to progress it already before triggering each phase of tutorial.
How does your design docs look like? Have you fleshed out your story, enemies and objects and general game?Or maybe you're just going with the flow, you may have a faint idea what your game will be about. I'm interested to hear how you guys go about your game development.
>>483691385just kinda rolling with it. no design doc or anything concrete.
>>483691592I also do this. No design doc, I just make shit up as a I go along. The closest thing I have to documentation is a folder full of cool images for inspiration.
>>483689809I thought about this a lot. I think it’s best if you examine it in 5 minute intervals. If it has 5 minute of nothing but text happening, reconsider its structure. Some oldschool players will give the game a set amount of time, knowing that RPGs need a little time to get the gears going, but that is not an excuse to drone on.Personally my game has something like 20 minutes. And explains mechanics in 3 fights. With some story/free roaming between them. Then there is a break with an NPC, where they can ask about any detail they are unclear on. Finally another fight to test them.I also came to the conclusion that turn-based games simply need a tutorial. In a real-time game, you can just press the buttons one at the time, and deduce what they do. Since one button usually makes one thing happen. Meanwhile in a turn-based game, several things can happen in a single turn. So learning purely by experimenting is far more frustrating and less efficient.
>>483681126I feel like the images are not to scale.
I think that if you play pixel art games at 1920x1080 you should simply perish and I should be allowed to cap the resolution at x3
>>483691385It's still very incomplete. There's nothing fleshed out. But it's supposed to have everything you listed eventually.
>>483691385>ideas in head are RAM>try to push the idea towards a finished product>playtest ideas in my head>when a brain wall is met, time to dev>deving>whiteboard prints become ROM planning function (modular and visual, useful when head RAM is full)>Asana becomes ROM key steps split into tasks to reach key steps>paper becomes RAM tasks (can be ROM when a project is ultra small, or just born)
>>483689590I agree, the old trees look much better.
Porn games?
>>483691385I have a long ass text file where I write down random ideas for characters / quests / lore / mechanics, anything really. It's very chaotic, but I'll organize it when I'm done with developing core features.
>>483681126>gf's got periodthat's a good thing if you got fired
>>483693115I got an autistic personal porn project I use to test some ideas before adding them to a main project.
>7 days
>>483693115My porn game is private, I don't post it.
>>483691385>keep a zim wiki on my computer for game ideas>any time I have an idea for a new game, I make a new page and write it down>come back to them and expand with more details whenever they come to me>if any element of a game gets fleshed out enough to make doing so worthwhile, add a subpage to the game for it and move the text there for readability's sake
>>483691385I've tried to write everything down about the mechanics of the game, laying it out properly without "Like Y game but with X" descriptions. Made a complete list of the features. Then I started to write down the logic behind the programming of the mechanics.Only then I started programming, and I gotta say, it was a massive help. When you are in devving mode, you need to focus on just making the thing. Without giving too much space away for ideas. Otherwise, you end up with feature creep. Having written down all the things, also helped me to always know what the next step should be.Not gonna lie, I often had to go back and start writing again into the design doc. Or revise ideas that sounded feasable when I first started out.Another good use of the doc is to write the logic of how things work after you have implemented them. So if you ever need to expand or change them later (likely after many months) you can easily check how it works, without spending long hours digging in the code.I've left out the story on purpose, save for a basic synopsis. Mostly because I know myself, and I know I can easily fall into a worldbuilding/plot writing rabbit hole. I only did it after I had like 80% of the mechanics down and working.
>>483691357Its gameplay first and story/lore on the sides. The story is there but its pretty simple and to the point. >but if there's a story be sure to progress it already before triggering each phase of tutorial.Makes sense yeah I'll be sure to kick it off quickly so I can move into gameplay mechanics
>>483691889>also came to the conclusion that turn-based games simply need a tutorialYeah definitely gonna need to explain each mechanic, its not a lot but it should be there to let the player know
>>483694703i... can make it....
Jesus Christ it's warm, I'm dying in this heatHow the fuck do you amerifats survive in 27+ degree weather yearly
>tfw they all keep going on and on about lore but they don’t even have a game
>>483691385I'm past using a design doc. I'm using a one note and sometimes check design doc if there's something that I missed. What I had projected and what actually works/plays fun almost never match.

>>483697919He's right tho
I almost got baited by my lust to project hop. I dont even like the base game but it looked like something I can actually make and complete while adding twists like boss fights and some shmup elements.
>>483698108it's a very good idea to make games that you know you can finish and that are mostly the same as other games but with twists

Should I bother trying to compress my game's music files? No matter which settings I use, the size of the compressed file is always just barely less than the total uncompressed size. I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong. They're all in .ogg format, if that matters.
terrified of my progress, i see...
man this game has a lot of ads hahaha if you're the dev of it I'd like to ask how's the marking going so far?
>>483699845I actually prefer billenear, but I could test it out
>>483700349You're probably doing something wrong. My music is 9000kb uncompressed and becomes 300kb with lossy opus ogg compression.
>>483700628The ad leads to>Page unavailableAnd doesn't even give the name of the game to look it up.Great marketing kek
>>483700628I wish I had a game to advertise and enough money to buy that many 4chan ads...

>>483700791>>483699685https://x.com/LowPolly
>>483700968I misunderstood your question, if you're placing ogg files in a zip and not seeing much change in size that's normal, ogg is already a compressed format so zip cannot do much to further compress it.
When I make it big (real big, talkin' minecraft big, which I can do), I'm going to hire all the threadshitting schizos and make them do menial boring tasks so they can't ruin the thread.

Dumb question, but how do I make a space rift look "realistic" in a 2D game? When I just draw a bit of sky that wobbles it looked kind of out of place. Which it is, but it looks out of place in a bad way. So I probably need a border of some sort, but what kind?
>>483701632
>>483701159well that sucks. those music files are like 95% of my game's total file size lmao.
>>483701367I'm gonna hire them to work abroad setting up my new studio on a remote Pacific island and leave them stranded there without food or water for eight weeks.
>>483701847If you need a lower filesize you could try converting those files to oggs with lower bitrate or sample rate using some audio conversion program, with some loss to the quality.

In your opinion, how important are synergies in RPGs? I have very mixed feelings about them. On one hand, they're fun. Simple as. On the other, they reduce build variety because they have this "put the square peg in the square hole" quality to them. If you have an ability that amplifies fire attacks, you're going to want to run lots of fire attacks. So you're making less interesting decisions than if you're just trying to make a kit out of various abilities that are tactically interesting by themselves.
>>483702870Why didn't /agdg/ think of this?On his reddit he shows his workflow, he draws regular art then makes it pixel art. Interesting choice, I'd have thought Steam users would prefer regular illustration to pixel art for wanking.Also guy has posted no gameplay is this a VN
>>483703626Didn't think of what? Making a porn game?
>>483695690>mfw my cute lesbian gf is a futa
i've got ideas
>>483648367>will you be making this into something big or is this just some sort of practice project?Originally it was a practice project but i've been having a lot of fun working on it so i'll probably try and push it out into a playable state for a future demo day, as for if i'm ever gonna finish it. I'm not sure actually, i'll cross that bridge once I get there (i'll decide once I have one or two levels done). At the end of the day I also have my dream project I was working towards but it'll probably be for the better if I push it back a bit and gain some more skills.
What do you guys even use Cosines for? ChatGPT gave me a vague answer so I'll ask real people.
>>483704308Whats your dream project?
>>483704475Make stuff move in a circular motion
>>483703853Making a porn game based on Helldivers 2.I've seen a thousand anons declare they are making Vampire Survivors as a porn game, but thats not the Current Thing anymore.
>>483704717I don't even know what Helldivers 2 plays like. My friends invited me to play it but it's too expensive so I refused to buy it.
>>483704475as you feed it bigger and bigger numbers it still just moves between -1 and 1. This is good for anything cyclical.
>>483704880It looks like Fortnite with capes, I don't imagine this game plays anything like it but it seems they mean to capitalize on the memes surrounding this game & it's setting. Idea guys BTFO by the supreme borrower.
>>483704717Because Helldivers 2 is a multiplayer game. The theme seems vaguely inspired by Helldivers 2, but the gameplay looks nothing alike. You can theme a game around any current thing that's not necessarily a video game, and people do, but that's kind of irrelevant here.
>>483704950>>483704687Hmm some practical things I can think of right now.>A damaging projectile that orbits around the target.>Positions for a spread type weapon to evenly distribute the positions from the original position.
>>483698287Girls take up time.If I get a girl, she has to be a 3D artist.I cannot have some nodev gf just nagging me in my game dev room while she goes on her phone.She needs to be right there with me for 8 hours, indulging in the creative process with me, getting excited about ideas, making 3D models.I’d cherish her. She would be such a companion.

>>483704673a Kingdom Hearts inspired arpg, I typed out an entire paragraph gushing about features and plotpoints then I realised I would have to dedicate atleast 3 posts to that autism. I actually attempted it as my first game ever (I was dumb) and it was barely functional, picrel was an running animation I made for it because I decided that the 2d sprite in 3d world approach would be easier then learning blender (it wasn't). Next time I attempt it I wanna be sort of profecient in 3D as well as general game design so it isn't a disaster like last time.

>>483705804What would your role be in this relationship, more of an idea guy?
>>483705804Same except voice acting gf and she has to like the same things as me
>>483703626>he draws regular art then makes it pixel art.this is actually quite commonif you want to do good pixel art learn to do good art first>>483703223It's more complicated than that. You can make a synergy where some ability will activate multiple times, but for every additional activation of the ability it might become more and more impractical and just 'cool'. Chances are the enemy you're attacking is already dead. You might instead want to have just one of that ability because it'll help you out in specific situations.As long as you aren't letting the player super-synergize a do-everything ability such as a huge AoE with no downsides, it should be fine. Cooldowns or limited firing rate helps too so even if you make a one-shot-kill gun it can't be the only way to beat enemies.

The problem with>post gameis that it's said to someone who criticizes others' efforts. If you say>your graphics are bad and that mechanic is weirdis useful criticism because it's fairly specific.

Gamedev pro tip: don't tell your family and friends about your games. There's literally no reason to tell them because they can't help you but they will notice if your game gets traction and they'll be asking for money.My uncle got $7 million from something in 2015 and everybody knew and he attracted tons of parasites. By 2021 the only thing he had from his once-fortune was a 2 bedroom suburban home and he had to get a job at 61.

>>483700954It's fun, but I think it's missing some imminent danger, like something that'll kill or hurt you if you touch it. Maybe the snack machine itself could be dangerous to touch or it has a chance to start spitting up dangerous parts like springs and screws that bounce around for a time and can hurt the player, maybe both. The difficulty doesn't feel like it ramps up appropriately, making it boring after 5 mins are so.

why twitter sometimes let me see posts and sometimes asks me to make an account ?
>>483716748There are Nodevs here who know they have no game, no skills, no vision, no motivation, and no intention of developing games, and still they come here every day to post unfunny, boring garbage that nobody engages with because they think they're a quirky personality around here.It's pathetic. Imagine going to a woodworking hobbyist convention and trying to chat with others about how you're a depressed chronic masturbator who wishes they had the fortitude to kill themselves. 'What does that have to do with woodworking?' they would ask. 'Can we see some of your work?' And then you take out a handful of printed stills from a gory cartel execution video.
>>483718234I'm still on 3 due to still being in the middle of a project. I was planning on switching to 4 after finishing that, but I keep hearing horror stories. What the hell is going on with the 4 branch? What happened?

I am an art focused video game developer because I struggle to fill the void in my heart so I make my suffering mean something by turning it into art.

>>483720982he's with you in spirit.
>>483721121are you me?
>>483714413I'm in pre-production for a Morrowlike. A real proper one, unlike a project that recently disappointed me. But... Saying that, the only reason why TES3 worked was the complex lore, alien but internally logical world. Its strong factions, non-handhold quests with real worldly descriptions and directions given.So... I'm in pre production at the moment. Concept art / Design Document / Lore writeup are all progressing nicely and are at the stage where I can see starting actual work soon. Once I have something In-engine I'll be sure to post. For now - here's a small section of a rapid-prototype reference map (not for ingame use) I've thrown together last night. ignore the black squaresbecause reasons
>>483718234>>483718705>Comparing empty project on Godot 3 vs Nonempty project with multiple opened scenes on Godot 4This guy is a fucking retard.
>>483721246This seems like a game that will get filtered as soon as asset creation begins. Sorry bro.
I'm working on a blender model that I intend to make some variants of, what's a good way to handle the UV?If you unwrap everything and set the UV up and then decide to alter the model you need to re-unwrap it and basically redo the UV and texture from scratch since the relative size of everything will be different, right?

>>483718184Thanks for playing anon! I think you're right, if you're not actively going after huge combos it's probably pretty boring. I was thinking about having some giant enemy roam around on screen as well but that would block visibility and make combo planning harder. Plus I wanted to pander to normies a little bit with this one so I made it a little easier. I'll keep your idea in mind for a potential sequel/remake/arrangement I may or may not make in the future.

>>483721596Maybe. I'm the one doing the assets, which I'm semi-experienced at, and I don't plan on actually dropping them into a vertical slice until around September if I'm lucky.

Actual gamedev questionI rigged and w painted body mesh via autorig pro. But I also have hair, clothes, different accessories and a cape. How do I attach them to the rig so they move with the body?
>>483698287Would probably be doable but 1 year per game sounds like it'd limit what kind of games I can do. Maybe 1 game every 2 years. She'd have to be a mommy gf who heavily dotes on me and frequently cooks for me while bringing me the cookies and milk or coming into my room in a cheerleader outfit to cheer me on :^) you already know which anon I am.

Just added some projectiles using cosigns and the curved movement is nice. I would like to know a way to just set an a clamp to the offsets though. I simply want to say reset the curve after it reaches 3 on the local X. Not sure if it's possible with Sine Waves.float x = Mathf.Cos(timeElapsed * wobbleFrequency) * wobbleMagnitude;

i figured out the final yesdev pill. it wont make you ultra-productive all day, but it will make you consistently work on something.ok it's 2 pills:a) no social media/politics/gossip, or only in very small dosesb) positive thinking, stop making excuses or searching reasons "why you can't do it"b is way more important though it seems. i wouldn't even call it positive thinking, i'd just call it "stop negative thinking".just get in a flow of creating and create an infrastructure to publish things. e.g. make an itch.io account and just publish some browser games or so.this is also very important because i think isolating yourself is very bad for motivation. you need to feel like you are communicating online. ofc you aren't talking to everybody, i just mean what you are working on needs to be communicated to other people, via social media, tiktok, itch, instagram or whatever you prefer.i think going hermit is also just bitterness about not being liked by others. so you go hermit to protect your feelings from getting ignored, getting your hopes crushed, getting negative feedback etc.you need to communicate with people again and not flee from them. actually this is also good motivation to get better.also if you want to earn money it can only come from other humans, so you need their attention. you cant do that as a hermit.
>>483725921>10000 hours practiceLooks more like 10 hours of practice max
>>483725836no one believes you're qualified to issue scathing criticism and you should probably be ejected from the woodworking meet before you start dumping gore printouts
>>483725836>The reason no one here will ever accomplish anything is because your standards are in the trashhe says when one of the most successful games here is a coom game with sloppy art

>>483721246GMI. Post more this month.
>>483726879>my game would be cloned before release by a team if I showed it.Same. I need to be close to done to show it off a lot. I already have a few rivals with near identical ideas.
now THIS >>483727576 is what I'm going to play next DD (I hope we get a demo). How many champions mechanics did you implement into it, anon?
>>483725836It's the amateur thread, of course it's gonna have people like nortubel, cris, azurdev, etcYou're free to give people advice but don't get upset if they don't take it or don't change, they probably can't
I'm getting burnt out just coding and testing stuff. At times like this, I forget what I was trying to create in the first place just looking at placeholder assets.
>>483724708What can you do? Modeling?
Put solo game launch into own little windows to better report when the game is running and such. Using stdout from game to report things back to launcher, e.g. replay having been saved. Idea is that the launcher will offer renaming the replays, and also cache the outcome, to show it in replay selection menu.https://git.sr.ht/~hypercoven/coven/tree/master/item/launcher/src/local.rs
Finally inventory is working, making the gui not breaking when the window changes size took a lot of effort also had some issues with tweens and nodes placement, there are still some small bugs that need to get fixed but core features are operational, now i only need some nice textures

>>483725857and how do you beat Project Zomboid? I hear they screw up a lot, what precisely (in terms of game functionality) is the road to surpass them?

>>483728829Sorry I just copied off of a video guide that I watched earlier
>>483727930Same. It's absolutely insane how much time making a game takes. You can graduate, get hired, get fired, get a girlfriend, marry her and divorce her in the time it takes to make a good game from scratch (5~ years). I'm a completely different person now than the guy who started work on this game, and I'm not sure I even want to make the same thing as he did anymore.
>>483728409One of my ideas never even appeared in other games, ends up appearing in a popular game -_- now Im probably gonna get called a cloner if I use the original design I made
ugh klimt you're wasting your talent on coomslop

>>483729502no
>>483728780Well, I made a shit trailer. But it was a good occasion to get into trailer-making at all. I would go so far as to say it was slightly fun to participate. But yeah not much publicity is to be expected. Though I figure Nortubel got a ton of attention from it.
>>483729614It’s really funny that some mentally retarded lolcow will get infinitely more attention than any competent game dev from agdg
>>483729549yes
>>483728878You don’t have to use their ECS thoughever from what I saw the API seemed cool. I personally have only 2 or 3 would-be components so there is no point in using it
news on the streets is that aggy daggy is planning a big gay orgy for DD.Is this true?
>>483728989it's just a shitpost, but in math you'd always see it as Acos(stuff) + offset or whatever, scaling coefficients go in front for clarity, even though cos(stuff)*A + offset would be the sameTo get the behavior you mentioned, hmm. While you're inputting increasing numbers, what you're also doing from a trig standpoint is cycling through the interval [0*pi, 2*pi). Each 90 degree is (1/2)*pi, so 0*pi == 2*pi == 4*pi.... So if you could constrain your input to be from 0 to pi that might get what you want idk. See what happens if you do timeElapsed%3 just for testing, idk I'm shit at coding.
>>483729095My fear is fans of those other games come to my game expecting or wanting things from them. >Why no romance options? Glunkoheroes has them!

>>483729965Thanks. I'll note that down. Even though the movement with sines are nice I dont like the easing. If it comes down to it I can look up bezier curve, parabola, or just use animation curves to get the movement that I need (and better readability)

A few DDs back I remember a really neat "Where's Waldo"-like, where you had to find little creatures in an animated scene. I honestly think that could be a whole genre if it isn't already, it was cute as hell yet simple, and gave me a lot of ideas.
>>483731997it's not about the wordit's about the meaning you're trying to givetrying to make it seem like the world is more divided than it really isit's simple to see why collabs don't happen on agdg and it has nothing to do with being divided
>>483732954The fact that agdg is divided against itself has nothing to do with agdg being divided against itself?

>>483691385I have a discord server with just me in it where I have channels for every item, character, the story, each level, every weapon, music track, model, etc. Pretty much I have everything exactly planned out and I use it so I can work on stuff while in my bed on laptop or if I get an idea while using phone and can record a melody from my guitar or piano. It saves a lot of hassle.With every entry I update the status as I go. So far only a few models and the core systems finished, but it's all coming along and whenever I don't feel like doing one thing, I just pick something else from the list. Helps because when I am aimless I waste a lot of time and let scope creep start up.

Agoodagoo, I'm lost. I've been studying shaders the whole day and I'm still lost: how do I draw one stripe and manage its length?
>>483704475Trigonometric functions are simply ratios of sides of a right triangle. Everything useful follows from this.
>>483734024So normalfags got rid of the only misfit lol?
>>483736596One strip is one cycle of cosine.
>>483734357I think it was excellent, I wouldn't say "best RPG ever" and my reasons are not about 'subject matter' which I'm guessing is you obsessing about politics. For me the characters, world, and story were top notch. The stats and how they contributed was extremely well done, and I loved the thought cabinet too. All the interesting content behind failing checks was a huge thing too, something I hope more devs clue in on, though that takes creativity that many are completely lacking.

>>483734476There's genuinely nothing easier for recording audio clips, random video clips, taking photos for textures of random things I see when I'm out, sending off ideas when I'm not at pc, writing dialogue sets when I'm traveling for work or just in bed. It'd be a total mess without it.
Anyone familiar with the game First Cut? I want to utilize the three level stance system for a simple little fighting game. You have three stances: High, Mid, Low. Attacking from each stance would result in a high, mid, or low attack. Now where I'd like this mechanic to differ is that attacking into your matching stance results in you being blocked, and two matching attacks colliding (ie High vs High) result in both being blocked and the player and opponent both get thrown into randomized stances.As well, a high attack meeting a low attack results in a Grapple where you button mash to gain the upper hand and the loser is blocked.Stamina regenerates very slowly, and everything will cost stamina, switching stances, being blocked, and attacking. At no stamina you become defenseless and can be struck, strikes also land if you attack into another guard (if you unmatching attacks go at once, the attack initiated first wins, if they happened at exactly the same time it will prefer player)Rate this mechanic, I have been trying to work it so that spamming attacks is a terrible idea. (In First Cut, the winning move is often just spam attack mid.)

>>483734024>According to former id staff Sandy Petersen, Tim Willits was the one responsible for McGee's firing (although he did not mention Willits by name; referring to him only by "Snake" and "X"). Allegedly, during the development of Quake II, Willits deliberately gave bad level design advice to McGee and when he presented his work to Carmack, it angered him and McGee was fired soon after.

>>483738523"Scott Miller wasn’t the only one to go before id began working on Doom. Mitzi would suffer a similar fate. Carmack’s cat had been a thorn in the side of the id employees, beginning with the days of her overflowing litter box back at the lake house. Since then she had grown more irascible, lashing out at passersby and relieving herself freely around his apartment. The final straw came when she peed all over a brand-new leather couch that Carmack had bought with the Wolfenstein cash. Carmack broke the news to the guys.“Mitzi was having a net negative impact on my life,” he said. “I took her to the animal shelter. Mmm.”“What?” Romero asked. The cat had become such a sidekick of Carmack’s that the guys had even listed her on the company directory as his significant other–and now she was just gone? “You know what this means?” Romero said. “They’re going to put her to sleep! No one’s going to want to claim her. She’s going down! Down to Chinatown!”Carmack shrugged it off and returned to work. The same rule applied to a cat, a computer program, or, for that matter, a person. When something becomes a problem, let it go or, if necessary, have it surgically removed."

>>483736862I don't quite understand how to utilize functions like cos and sin in coding, especially with shaders. I know that they represent divisions between hypotenuse and cathetuses from math classes, and that's it. So if I remove cos(), it shows this.
>>483733724it depends on a lot of things I think.my fans are ravenous and they keep begging me to update pogo3d. they are happy when i add new stuff and their trust in me grows. i dont know if updating will necessarily create new customers though. it matters more what exactly you are updating.for example if you release an update substantial enough that your "important fans" (influencers) boot up the game and show it to their audience again thats good. but an update that DOESNT cause them to do that is pretty worthless

>>483741707I have zero money I need to make a successful video game so I have one money (or preferably two or three moneys, or maybe even more).
>>483740458Stop. You're talking about shaders wrong. You don't want to use a shader to draw a line segment. In a game, you would do it with 3D geometry or 2D primitive draws. Shaders are for patterns. For things that repeat.
