what you working on, /v/?art? game mechanics? assets? misc?share your frustrations, progress, questions or whatever ITT
>>729574531I've been doing a bunch of misc shit to prep my demo going liveTrailer, graphics, descriptions, pages, social media, etcI got a fortune cookie that said I would change my line of work soonIt was right, I went from a game dev to a marketer lmao
>>729574531I'm finishing up the trailer and then boom it will be out for every /v/ tard to play
Animations system right now.Need to work on characters though but anyone has a course/resource that teaches you to model clothing but something beyond the basic tshirt.I need to learn to model shirts with collars, pockets, shoes. In Blender preferably.
I'm working on this bullshit. Because noo we can't let content creators have real agency over THEIR OWN WORK on our platform.
>>729574862You payed $100 for this privilege
>>729574862>boohoo my game flopped im taking it off steamDon't tell me this is you.
>>729575006Where is your game?
>>729575086On Steam and Nintendo eShop.
I see Steam as the Big LeaguesYou shouldn't enter the Big Leagues until you've proven yourself in the Small Leagues
>>729575197OK.
I'm trying to learn how to draw sprites for a visual novel. I'm rendering somewhat raw 3D models and kinda tracing them. The visual novel won't be erotic, but all the women will be hot and will wear super slutty clothes.
>>729575310https://steamcommunity.com/app/1834950/discussions/0/691997051773339407/
>>729575260the lines are kinda uninteresting. maybe play more with the weights
>>729575260This look bad, her head is way too big compared to the body and tracing 3D models make the characters look stiff as fuck. Also the face is unappealing.This might seem harsh, but it's only honest critique
>>729575242I was disappointed with this game. I bought it because the dev posted about it here from time to time, but there are very serious problems with the final product.First, the sound effects are extremely annoying. Then there's the level design, which is simply not good, without seeming to decide whether it wants to offer a traditional or kaizo experience, and failing at both, in my opinion. Finally, the bosses are just bad and unpleasant to face.
>>729575436Yeah it was kind of flawed, live and learn. But this thread isn't about that.
>>729575310Not him but he posted years of progress here
>>729575350But I didn't say anything about "flopping". Weird projection there.
>>729574862Nooooooooo don't do it Crumbledev
I keep dropping and going back to gamedevving year after yearmaybe it's time to stop being just a dreamer and actually put some god damn effort into this shit
>>729575387Drawing is too difficult. I just want to have some basic material so I can concentrate on writing the characters.>>729575407I'm trying to make the heads huge to give an idea of stylization, because I'm actually just drawing over 3D renders, so there's no style really...But there's still a long way to go. I decided to train for 90 days, and this is the result of day 3 (the other two were even worse lol).
>>729575787Course it's difficult but just making the weight of the lines differ more doesn't take that much effort
>>729575787>I'm trying to make the heads huge to give an idea of stylizationOh well, I'm not going to stop you
>>729575754Well you didn't refute it, and the only guy I know in these threads who kept claiming he was gonna pull his game said it because he was upset about it flopping without ever posting which game it is. So shrug.
>>729575913>Well you didn't refute itWhy should I refute it? I have problems with how Valve and Steam operate but my game didn't flop, if you really care that much.
>>729575350NTA but the game looks cool
Thank you Steam from protecting our games from being stolen by resentful developers
It's my game. I get to decide what to do with, not you.
Bullet shadows now automatically resize based on the bullet radius
>>729576338Oh cool, guess you got that working. Why are some shadows darker though?
>>729576378The shadow transparency is determined by how far its vertical center is from the surface and by the material transparency I set, I haven't made the shadows uniform between all the objects (player, enemies, bullets) yet so some will be at a different heights and look different until I fix them (probably not this year)
At the tail end of the previous thread I had asked for advice on how to start game dev because when I look at the tutorials, it feels like I'm being handed a fish rather than being taught to fish. I don't think my idea is incredibly ambitious either, I seem to have problems learning how to learn. I've been told that I should break down my idea into its individual mechanics and learn how to do those, but when I look up tutorials it feels really unsatisfying. How's this tutorial for a starting off point? After googling it, I read that anything from Codemonkey is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGKd4yTP3M8
>>729576551Tutorials made me want to blow my brains outI was only able to learn through a combination of trial and error with research when I didn't understand something
>>729576551anon, as i said in previous threaddo you know programming basics? if not, learn those first
>>729576551can you code?have you picked an engine?the two main obstacles to making your own game are>learning to code in general (skills transfer well between different languages)>getting familiar with the editor of a specific engine (including its API) (skills often don't transfer well between different engines)
>>729576786No. How would you recommend I learn? A course?
>>729576551I have the same problem. All programming to turials are just>Here's how to do exactly X in this one specific way, and no, I'm not going to explain why or how it works, just copy what I doIt makes me want to strangle the guy through the screen.
opted out of using screenshot altogether. my game look like shit.
>>729576841you have correctly identified that "guy talking into a microphone" is the wrong format for learning programming. do this instead:https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-c-sharp
>>729576551>I seem to have problems learning how to learn.same, though ironically i managed to turn this into a useful skill.
>>729576860It looks fine really. That poster is dope though.
>>729576835i dont' want to give you a definitive answer, since i'm self-taught for the most part, so i don't think i'm qualified to advise you.but i will tell you that i learned a language very fast when i got a programming job in languages and frameworks that i didn't know. being under pressure really motivates you to actually learn shit, as opposed to just doing whatever stuff in your free timeideally you'd have some sort of person to tell you what to learn and how, and give you easy projects, i had a team leader at my work, but then you don't.
>>729576860There's something very dissatisfying about this composition.I think the font, text color and green frame are definitely negative points, but I can't put my finger on why it all lacks impact.Perhaps you should try getting more of the red in there?
>>729576914But that foesn't teach you anything about actually putting together a game in an engine. It just teaches you syntax.
>>729577014>try every possible permutation of per pixel color until it looks good
>>729577043exactly
>>729575260a visual novel is not a game, it's not artisanry, it doesn't belong in this thread
>>729577225Fuck off retard
>>729577043it doesn't teach you syntax primarily. it primarily teaches you the basic concepts that make up all code, like variables, methods (functions), conditionals, arrays and loops. you need to learn these concepts in some language before you can do anything productive in a game engine. and since C# is the developer language in Unity, the most popular indie game engine (the games are indie, not the engine), it's what I know and what I always recommend.the important thing about learning programming is that you solve problems. every step should be a little puzzle you solve. you should never be listening or reading for more than a minute at a time. you should always be the one doing stuff. coding can only be learned by doing.knowing the word "syntax" does not confirm that you know how to code. I have to assume you don't, therefore I'm recommending learning to code as the first step.
>>729576986i appreciate that, but i'll still be working on visuals for a bit to get them, idk...better.I plan to stfu about my game for aa while and jut work. Won't be posting my game here much anymore until I'm almost done. I'm grateful for all the feedback I've gotten here, and thanks for all the trolls giving me (you)s. See you all in about a year!
>>729577579>knowing the word "syntax" does not confirm that you know how to code.Quite. Because I have done many of the courses on Codeacademy, and I still can't make anything at all.
>>729576551gamedevbeginner.com
>>729574531I'm doing a pass on all the monsters to give them proper behaviours and abilities so they aren't all differently packaged blobs of HP like what most MMOs do. My inspiration is PSO. If I can make the enemies half as bullshit as that game I know I'm on the right track. I've started with the Grablin, redone the model and textures and given them a net-throw ability that can chain root you in place.
Reminder to update your release dates for the next year (but this time for real).
>>729579939lmao get delayed nerds
https://files.catbox.moe/784jtn.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/qxrint.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/t4vgjy.pngProgress!
I'm incapable of original thoughts.I think I will make a cheap rpgmaker game like those japanese games where you just walk around raping npcs...
>>729580174Forgot to add the newest onehttps://files.catbox.moe/tj9kmt.png
boom
>>729580174>>729580567Casy, right? Do you even have a programmer?
Any of you guys have experience in leading a team?I started as a solo dev but now I have a handful of talented people willing to contribute, it's kind of a beautiful thingI always rejected leadership positions in the past when working "real" jobs, but since I am the one person who gives the most fucks, naturally I have to lead.
>>729580790Myself
>>729580835I have back when I was young, and I found it very hard, in part cause I had barely any experience in developing and in part because leading a bunch of strangers working for free is hard. These days I'd probably do a better job, but I haven't worked in a big team in ages so who knows.
>>729580720reduce gloss
>>729581907dont tell me what to do
>>729581975do it, or else
>>729581907i'll prolly change the blood shader again after demo dayt. the dev
A major hurdle I had been dealing with for the continuation of my game was the fact that my main menu navigation system would simply not work with the new Input System. No matter how many times I attempted to assign the button in the next menu section to be highlighted, it simply would not highlight and cause the entire system to break. Come yesterday when I wasn't choking on phlegm and I decided to take another look: experimenting with the original Stabdalone Input Module that used the Input Manager and not the Input System, I found my menu worked flawlessly. While tinkering, I found a sneaky little option in the new UIInputModule: Deselect on Background Click. Unchecking that, as I would learn, freed me from that curse.I then went to sleep after that because of the tea I drank and now I have to get to work.
>>729582267>>729580720That's a cute MC. The gloss doesn't necessarily need to be reduced, you could apply a grunge texture as a specular map or something. Might not fit the aesthetic you're going for though. As overdone as it's become I think it needs some kind of ps1 crunch shader. That art style isn't done any favours by high resolutions.
>>729583168Oh and the glossy problem isn't even the blood, it's the heads on the monsters. That's what specifically looks bad.
almost done working on items. Then I'll refactor the save system and add the missing sound effects, which there are a lot
>>729574767How resource-intensive to have a complex poly designs on chlothing, say like a stitched pocket for example? I understand there are chlothing layers on model rigs that just drape and flow over the base model, and I'm picturing the physics on that to be all the same as if it were just a single simple flat fabric added over the model, but I am not so familiar.
>>729583827each post your game looks more like a game
>>729574862I'm pro art preservation so I think the creator or rights holders in my eyes need a higher standard of reasoning than most would accept.
i'm making a deflating bouncy castle platform challenge which is a pain to do, but i hope people will find it fun
>>729583827How much free time do you have? you always have something new to show
>>729583168>>729583259noted, thanks anon
>>729584210thanks anon, it's a long journey but it's cool to see it coming together>>729584397the concept alone is already fun if you ask me!
>>729584432I'm on vacation from work until the 5th of January. Don't have a family to take care of beyond visiting my parents from time to time and this year I lost a few friends to cocaine, so I go outside less than before. Got a lot of freetime yeah, and I'm a bit tired of modern vidya so all I do is gamedev and read for an hour or two before going to sleep
>>729584596Well it's a good use of your free time. Hoping it works out for you.
>>729580835Are you trained in any form of project management? One of the most important things you can do is create a workflow task timeline, primarilly to be a help organizing the workflow but also helps with deliverable due dates, depending on how important that is to your team; if you're loose on deadlines then feel free to rexamine and readjust timetables for longer dates. The most important element there is noticing where the bottlenecks and therefor the most important tasks are that can hold up the rest of the project.
What comes after the brainstorming and the onepage? The GDD?
>>729584703yeah sure! it's fun, and way more rewarding than just playing videogames or watching movies or anime. I've even got to make some nice connections thanks to it
>>729584478:)
>>729580174Really nice !
>>729584272>I'm pro art preservationCool. But videogames aren't art.
>>729584996Here's your (you)niversal basic reply anon, spend it well.
>>729574767https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gCtW9Z_IL0&list=PLe0O-ypJqvKw6meu68TlU0_motrjcnrva&index=8This guy's got pretty good videos on sculpting and then adding clothesThe only thing he messes up is hands topology, where the loops don't match around the wrist and it all gets fucky, but you probably don't need that anyway if you're asking about just clothes
>>729585163Concession accepted.
>>729580174>>729580567The art is looking real nice. What kind of game are you working on? It's more of a platformer, puzzler, or something different?
>>729576338>>729576491glad to see the shadows working, good job anon!>>729576860if you really are dev, what are you doing man? the last iteration looked much better than this>>729578363hey I remember this one from some time ago. Is the combat any different from Diablo? I loved how in POE2 you could dash away and even use the shield with the press of a button>>729580720damn those gibs! I'd try making it so each piece lets out a stream of blood splats as they fly away. I think Quake did that, but I'm not sure. In any case, it's looking great
>>729585163don't feed the troll, he thrives on (you)s
>>729575676Should have stayed so that he could deeply contemplate the lack of strong iconography in his work. This Mario clone isn’t meant to be remembered and neither are all the trash can robots who shoot slow orbs in his new game.
>>729585483>The art is looking real niceYooo thanks a lot bro! It's gonna be one of those Arkanoid games with a porn image in the background you need to break bricks to unlock
>>729585845With Hat Kid being the paddle. I see vision. Hope to see more too. Best of luck.
How do i into number balancing for stat-intensive games like RPGs? I always prefer the smaller scale number peogression like Paper Mario sticking in single digit ints as long as possible over games that end up with like 400-1000HP pools and attacks end game.
>>729586115>I always prefer the smaller scale number peogression like Paper Mario sticking in single digit intswhy not just do that? it's what I'm doing for my game
>>729586071>Best of luck.Thanks a lot bro!>With Hat Kid being the paddleYeah and also I'm planning on the player being able to use her hats habilities. It's kinda crazy how well the hat skills can be translated to an arkanoid game. The one that makes blocks appear/disappear in the ghost dimension seems the most complex to implement but should be very fun to use.
>>729584767anything but working on the game (:
I'm stuck in the mocking phase
>>729576551https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vEyVcYUIzY
>>729574531my initial game was too ambitious, and too unfun, and then my life got too busy, so i dropped it in favor of a simpler game. I'm glad i did.But it's still all boxes and spheres, so i'm not posting it. Once i feel it's good enough i'll might post something about it, but for now i'm just lurking.
>>729585552>hey I remember this one from some time ago. Is the combat any different from Diablo? I loved how in POE2 you could dash away and even use the shield with the press of a buttonI'm retarded and made the UI too much Diablo-like, so everyone thinks it's that genre. It's an MMO so combat is much slower and involves a lot of ability usage. Blocking is automatic if you're facing an enemy and have your weapons unsheathed. Harpies have a short-cooldown flap ability that's kinda like a dodge roll?
>>729587779>It's an MMO so combat is much slower and involves a lot of ability usage.oh cool, I prefer that kind of combat to just spamming abilities>Blocking is automatic if you're facing an enemy and have your weapons unsheathed.nice, reminds me of Nox
>>729586848>i'm just lurkingyou can't even do that right
>>729586363I'm just unlesrled of good approaches to designing what those health bars and attack damages could look like for a fairly balanced experience. I'm not allergic to cheese or clever strats breaking the game (for a single player experience) but before I get experimental with it I think I want a good foundation. My initial thoughts are to take enemies, common or bosses, and establish how long the fight SHOULD last through well executed basic attacks in an unga-bunga style. >ex.>1st boss should take 10 perfectly times hits>a perfectly timed basic attack should do ~2 damage early game>ergo make the boss's HP 20But then I'm more curious on designing common enemy HP and all enemy attack values. I can predict what the player's max HP at that time would look like, but through compounding efforts of traveling through a level, possibly carrying consumable health restoration, how much of that max HP should I expect the player to be at and therefor how reasonable would it be for enemy to do X damage normally? Should I do the flip of the boss and say>the player should be able to endure N number of hits before going down, so X= (predicted max HP)/N? This is, I'm sure, not boiler plate and everyone has their own methods of establishing number design, but like I said I'd like to play with something tried and true and then experiment from there.
>>729586374Maybe it spawns unbreakable blocks that the player can use to get extra bounces in. They're able to toggle it off and on. Some kind of limit would have to be set though.
>>729576835
>>729576551I started by banging my head against a wall. By which I mean I tried it and failed at many things, and kept trying anyway. I had zero experience of coding or modelling, just some general art skills so I could envision what I wanted pretty well.I was following tutorials, and yeah like you I felt I wasn't really learning how to do things in general, just learning to do the thing the tutorial was doing.Still, it's worth doing that. You do get a grasp of what's possible and what can work, especially if you have a strong sense of the direction you want to go.Well I kept banging my head against that wall, and eventually decided maybe I do need some more structured education. So I went to IT school and actually learned programming. This helped a lot, but I also only was able to get anywhere doing it because I had that strong vision of what I wanted to do. If that's an option for you I highly recommend it.Of course, it helps that in my country, school is basically free, and I lived on government money while doing it.
>>729576551I'm early in my learning. My plan is to follow turorials to learn common fuctions, good scripting practices, and general methods of achieving something as building blocks. I already have big ideas for what I want to work towards one day (Magnum Opus stuff) as well as some much smaller scale projects as intermediate steps between the tutorials and the ambitious plans. They are mostly clone game ideas so I can prove that ai'm capable of building things that have already been constructed to compare it to and then add a little unique spin on them. But before I learn to run I have to learn to QWOP, hence why I'm dickriding tutorials for the time being. When I get to the intermediate step is when I'll need to do a lot of learning on my own, searching the web for microsolutions and implimenting them with my own guard rails as opposed to someone's lesson plan.
>>729574531I'm doing ending slides, 10 slides in total, 2 variations eachBy the grace of Todd I'm gonna advertise that my game has 1000 different endings.
>>729576551>>729589136Also, game dev is a journey, and it is a long one. Don't worry too much if your early attempts at using tutorials aren't too satisfying. It takes time to get places.I started 10 years ago, and only in the last 3 or so have I felt like I'm competent enough to show anyone my work.

I recently played Rimworld again and was reminded how fucking dogshit and boring that game is.Now I'm hesitating if I should bite the bullet and try to realize my colony sim idea I came up a few years ago even though I'm perfectly aware it would take plenty of effort before it becomes playable and "fun" enough, and I might just abandon it.

>>729593278Well you're adamant on discussing whatever the fuck you already tried to hijack this discussion thread with, so fuck off. Go ahead and discuss your own circlejerk now.
>>729593063dope
>>729588806I came up with how I want my numbers to work then picked an algorithm that works for it. Started with a rule of 10s for it: hitting a monster who has 10 defense with a standard attack and an attack stat of 10 does 10 damage, killing a 100 hp character in 10 hits. 10s all around. Nice and round and not too huge.Then it scales appropriately. If you increase all stats by X%, the damage also increase by X%. That way something 5 times bigger: with 500 hp, and defense of 50, they take 50 damage dying in 10 hits to something with 50 attack.Damage is always going up as you get stronger and importantly enemies and players scale predictably. It just seemed like the most logical method. Like its part of the metric system or some shit.
>>729593937I like when RPG formulas are so simple you can calc in your head what will happen.
>>729574862>steamie donates $100 to gaben>have to fill out paperwork to undo it>no refunds goy
>>729588823Thats a good idea too, but I was thinking more like some stages have 2 special blocks, green and purple ones (thanks doc) and you need to switch between the purple being solid while the green ones are like ghosts and viceversa
>>729593643Don's know about the other guy but I'm adamant about finding out the truth, so are you going to say what it is or are you gonna continue acting like a pissy sissy?

>>729596654More like scoped at 1/3rd of a realistic scope. Because inevitably you will underestimate how much work it will take. Or at least thats how its been for me because I am a dumbass..
>>729593063Do the circular boulders have physics or is that just debris? It looks sweet as hell tho
>>729575350>8 reviewsWhat compels you people to donate $100 to a multibillion dollar company? Just to fluff your ego so you can say you've done it?
>>729596339if you have in game purchases, unity's API does analytics on that, so they'd know if your mobile game is making that kind of money. other than that you have to disclose your earnings as part of your license agreement, and if they suspect you are making more than 200k(you're not going to make a viral game earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and evade any notoriety online as a popular indie dev) they'll probably ask to see your studio's earnings. which you can't just hide unless you're lying to the government about your earnings and evading taxes.
wondering how I could improve this animation and the effect
>>729595190yea, but the AI sucks right now. Need to improve them later
>>729597017According to the statistics I have in front of me it sold like 440 copies and I made about 650 bucks off it total on Steam. Not nearly as good as the sales on eShop but not awful, I think the eShop/Steam ratio's like 7:1.
>>729595368Then perhaps a Cross Functional flowchart will help you more right now. The previous example is called a Gantt chart, which is really good if you already know the project with little to no variation needing to be accounted for, but a CFF is great for visualizing the tasks and deaicions that will lead to different outcomes of the project scope. Hopefully it can help bring things together as you were saying. https://www.conceptdraw.com/How-To-Guide/cross-functional-flowchart-symbols
>>729597246Perhaps you could have the fire effects spread upwards as the player character drags the grease across the sword's blade instead of the player just dragging his hand across the blade and the fire magically appearing.
>>729597246Send his arm around the long way rather than having it clip through his thigh when unequipping the shield, moving to embue the sword, and moving to re-equip the shield.Adjust the shield's rotation so that it doesn't magically flip right-side up when equipped.The squat looks ridiculously silly in my opinion but I don't have any suggestion for it.The particles already seem to spawn from the hilt towards the end, so you could have them spawn immediately as he swipes his hand across the blade.
>>729597246Fear of the flame buff causing initial hesitation or fear response
>>729596945thanks. The debris still have some very basic physics. Can still manipulate them back at the opponent.
>>729597246Have embers come off it, have the glow affect the environment
>>729597095So basically it's a high amount you can't get in the first place by non-monitored methods such as donations or crypto. Has anyone been caught with this? I remember Toby fox saying he pirated his game engines but I don't think he used unity.I thought unity had spyware and made routinal checks online. If they catch you is because of the bank side and not the engine side?
>>729597246Make the right arm also move when the hand is sliding.
>>729597017Because of the "just put your game on Steam, if it's good it will automatically sell!" spam you see everywhere, including on /v/. Valve has a vested interest in keeping the carousel of clueless devs going. Not only do they make 6 million dollars a year, but they also take 30% off each purchase. So keeping up the lie that Steam is helpful for indies is in their interest.
>>729598238I'm only gonna put my game on Steam if it gains traction elsewhere first. At the VERY LEAST, the $100 for the Steam fee would be covered by money made by the game on other platforms.
>>729598238>Not only do they make 6 million dollars a year*From the $100 submission feeHad a brain fart and forgot to add than in.
thanks everyone>>729597883perhaps! but I need something generic that works for ice and lightning too>>729597924I could swear there's barely any clipping but I'll check it out.>magical flipyeah that happens when unsheathing too, need to fix it>The squat looks ridiculously sillyreally? damn>>729597934he's a chad, no fear!>>729598056>glow affect the environmentthis could look very cool yeah, I'll try that!>>729598169move how?
>>729598052That's exactly what I wanted to see, good shit bro.
>>729598089i'm pretty sure unity can track installs since they were going to implement runtime installation fees a couple years ago
>>729598651Right arm move right while left arm move left, separating. Try it yourself: holding both arms up and keeping one still while drawing the other far away is less natural than both arms moving outward.
>>729600009I'll try it, thanks anon!
>>729599753You know or you assume
>>729600632reasonably sure
>>729575350Holy based. Even made the whiny nodev delete his posts out of shame. You're my hero.>>729576860Looks perfect as it is. Leave it and work on your game now.
>>729575350You know what, I put it on my wishlist. I'll buy it once I'm done with all my other platformers and current obsessions. Based.
>>729601687At full price, that is.
I put a trailer up for bingo betty finallyI haven't uploaded it to YT or anything but it's on my steam pagehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4045170/Bingo_Betty
Pretend I didn't forget to unhide the mouse.Currently, I'm messing around with a creature collector mixed with Dungeon Of The Endless. Basically, the characters exist in rooms/nodes. Through these nodes is how the characters can "see" each other and interact with each other. If this project doesn't pan out well, I'll probably just fallback and repurpose an old turnbased project of mine. That one was like Valkyria Chronicles where you directly controlled your units and moved them like in a third person shooter.

Anyone doing a custom engine? What are the benefits of it?
>>729575896>guy on anime website doesn't know about different head sizes in stylized mediaAlways blows my mind when someone in deep in a topic still doesn't understand it
>>729602585https://store.steampowered.com/app/2443360/Zortch/this game has a custom engine. Check out the system requirements and you'll understand the advantage over any pre-made engine
Currently working on building an Event system in Godot for playing out sequences of triggers/animations for cutscenes. Little annoyed that Godot doesn't have much of an editor for helping me out with this shit, since I can't preview it in-editor while I'm adding each entry in sequence. Have to load up the program with a call to load a specific scene+event just to make sure actors are moving to the places they should, animations are not being cut short, etc. Might just start allowing Events to add empty objects to the scene, to grab positions from that I can tell Actors to walk to/look towards.
>>729602040The graphics are nice and crunchy
>>729602812can't you make a @tool script for that preview? I still havent got to working on cutscenes but that's my play
>>729602585The advantages is that you'll never need to look up a Unity tutorial again. Everything you have is tailor made for you.
>>729602407Thanks, bro.>>729602776A thing that surprised me was that Atlyss was developed in Unreal, and it had relatively low system requirements. At first, I thought it was made in Godot or the dev's power level was stronger than I thought and he made his own engine.
>>729602585>Anyone doing a custom engine?I have.>What are the benefits of it?Other than what you learn the first time you do it? There aren't any
>>729602985my take from that is that Unreal must run real good once you disable all the shit, like volumetrics and lumen and all that jazz
anons i feel like i'm not really cut out to make a whole working system that is a video game. i made some progress, but i encountered problem X. okay, i thought that i'd first create a debug class to help me debug things. in this class i'll spawn things without them needing to spawn by themselves on a random chancehowever, i built my game in such a way that every spawned thing has an "owner" - which is a class that spawned it. and the debug class isn't a spawner, so it can't be the ownerand that's not the first time suchh a thing happens. i honestly think i just can't design for shit.
>>729602863I honestly don't know how I'd arrange an Event/Cutscene manager as a 'tool', with the amount of shit they need to be capable of that may rely on shit being instantiated by something else (eg. the player/camera).
>>729574531Working on eyes
>Being unable to program>Being unable to make art assetsWhich is more devastating?
>>729603218my idea was (is) to have a cutscene_controller that takes care of the cutscene_camera and the cutscene_actor nodes. I won't use the same camera logic and player instance as during gameplay. Dunno if it's a good idea but keeping all that separated might be, we'll see
>>729602812Godot has a debug button to run and test one specific scene, but it doesn't load global singletons so it's not always useful. Throwing together your own debug menu is a good investment, especially if it can remember the last thing you tested and send you there with one button
>>729603680being unable to program, it's easier to learn since gamedev programming is pretty basic and you can use AI to help without anyone freaking out
Since last month(last time i posted) I released the techdemo sort of engine test I was working on and finally recompiled the executable as well as its libraries, meaning I have full control over the idtech4 engine and can reimplement everything as I need.Today I retooled the physics object grabbing function which was present in the codebase but tooled more towards quickly throwing projectiles. I think it was used in doom3 for parrying or something. What I have now is more akin to how grabbing works in source. I was going to write that I need to figure out a setting before I put any concrete work into possible gameplay loops but I realized how silly that reads. Progress posting can be so illuminating
>>729603218>shit being instantiated by something else (eg. the player/camera).ideally you should have a spawner
>>729602162That looks fucking neat, but complicated.
>>729603680Programming is just logic, making art is pain
>>729604029>Programming is just logicheartychuckle.gif
>>729604029>Programming is just logicthis message was promoted by agdg
>>729604029go program a shader doofus
>>729604070>>729604153How exactly am I wrong, faggots
>>729604309by just being wrong retardgo back to agdg and make nothing at all kek
>>729603072Notch said you should make a custom engine tho...........
I'm making a Dragon Khan like
>>729604506notch has made nothing good since minecraft
>>729604506https://x.com/toastedcherries/status/2001863850120122749
>>729603893I do in my main code, but that only executes when the game is run, otherwise it's just placeholder objects on my field that spawn whatever it's set to upon running. Also makes it easier for me to tell where shit is since I put debug labels on everything in the editor that get removed on startup.>>729603692I wanted to do the thing where an event can trigger while still allowing player input. It's a 2d game gameplay-wise, but 3d presentation, so I want parts where I can just hijack the camera, and play out a sequence of events as deemed fit. I don't like hard handoffs between gameplay and cutscenes, I want them to transition between one another.>>729603750In that kind of test scenario, I guess the course of action would be making a dedicated scene scripted to load the bare minimums (eg. my autoloads, mandatory actors, etc), and then pull off what I need from there. That way I'm not polluting my main test environment while building things.
>>729604506Notch doesn't make games. "If you can't build your own game engine you're a shit programmer" is a fine take, though, because it's not that hard. It's just time consuming and unrewarding beyond the novelty of doing it the first time
>>729604672>I want them to transition between one anotherwell that will offer great results but ofc it's going to be more work. Wish I had started working on my cutscenes so I was able to try to help you, sorry anon, best of luck!
>>729604646>that music>worstsounds like something that'd play in payday 2 right when bain says "alright gamblers get gambling"
>>729604506notch spoke a language he thought gamer cattle would understand. he never made a game engine in which he then made minecraft, he just made minecraft and you should also just make a game. gamer cattle like /v/ doesn't understand this concept though, they think you need something called an "engine" to make games, which is retarded.
>>729604885It'll probably be a case where I just fuck with it and bang my head against desk for awhile, before just making it do hard camera pass-offs until some idea springs forth next time I'm in the shower. Some days I wish I took computer sciences instead of animation.
>>729604609He needed to make more to be considered good!?
>>729597883>>729597924>>729597934>>729598056>>729598169added a glow effect and made it so the sword particles appear earlier like you suggested. Still need to review the animation and fix the thing with the shield doing a sick flip, but I think it's looking already way better than before. Thanks!
>>729605137Yes that would be considered making your own engine
>>729508639read up on better techniques for spatial partitioning, initially i did my own naive method i devised and i'm about halfway through implementing a new method centered around rectangular decomposition now.kind of hard for my current skill + motivation level so it's taken a while but i'm learning a good amount from it.had to create plenty of data structures which don't exist natively in godot (graphs, bipartite graph manipulation, binary/interval trees, etc.) which is nice because i can reuse those for other complex things.
>>729605216oh shit zappy sword. does it paralyze on hit?
>>729605603idea is to make them accumulate a status ailment on enemies, but that's not still in>fire: burning>ice: freezes>lightning: paralyze>holy: dunno
>>729604029>>729604309You're not wrong.
Im trying to convince people to spend money on my mobile game.It's Herculean.
Has any of you ever played a game for fun ? Every gameplay videos posted in these thread seems to be games created to get a viral clip on twitch and nothing else.
>>729605164to be considered successful evidently you have to be in a consistent upward trajectory until the very day you die.
>>729605216The flame, electricity, and the "yellow" effects come from the hilt outwards, while the frost effect seems to come from the tip towards the hilt.Also I think this anon >>729598056 meant the blade's glow affecting the environment like you have with torches, not the glow upon enchanting.That being said, it seems it would make sense only with the fire grease item, and maybe the electricity one too. Would be weird to have Frostmourne and "yellow" sword glow as well, but would seem inconsistent at the same time.
Godot user here. Is my scene editor really just going to look like a fucking mess of Area3D shapes in the end? Feeling like I'm using them for near everything that needs a script attached to it.- Triggers for objects, starting events, etc- Collision checks for non-physics driven objects- Rendering Zones (whatever the actual term is where you set the game to only activate/render the nodes/actors in the currently inhabited zone, plus any immediate neighbouring ones, so you don't have to sort/cull against everything in the entire scene)- Sound modulation changes (ambient music, reverb changes, etc)- Physics zones (Ground vs. slippery vs. water)- Camera stoppers- Invisible walls
>>729605685Sounds sick.>holy: dunnoMaybe it inspires terror in unholy creatures like Turn Undead? You'd have 3 different effects that stop the enemy from doing shit but it sounds like they could be situationally useful>paralysis is short but sweet>freeze lasts longer but your next hit breaks them out (more damage when you break the ice?)>terror makes it harder to finish off enemies but sometimes you want them to give you space, show their back, or corral them into environmental hazards
>>729605216Good animations. The sword elementals look fun.
>>729605994I tested that when I implemented the sword elements but didn't like having the glow being there all the time, so I've only added it for the enchanting animation to add some extra juice to it. I'll review the ice particles, ty!>>729606164cool ideas! but I don't like having to chase enemies around haha. How about a chance of insta-killing small enemies? could that be way too OP?>>729606223thanks anon! glad you like em
>>729593063If this is multiplayer it WILL sell. Good job anon.
>>729605685Any plans to make opposites work against one another? Eg. Frozen target hit with fire will act against the freezing, but the burn wouldn't apply until fully out of the freeze.
>>729593063Was 0:11 a fluke, or are you allowed to fall through your own pillars?
>>729606460The way they are set up, status effects can prevent other status effects or cancel if already there. So you can't get frozen while burning or you can't heal while cursed. For example, picrel is haste and it cancels and prevents slow
>>729606097You're supposed to split things into their own scenes, export some variables, and instance around other scenes.
>>729606347Holy could be a blinding AoE so that staggers multiple enemies around you but for a much shorter duration
>>729606736like some kind of holy light blast coming from the blade on impact? that could be sick
Would this copy convince you to put $4 on a game?>One-time introductory bundle!>Unlock the full game immediately.>185 total levels across 7 difficulties.>4.7/5.0 Global App Store Rating!>No ads interrupting your gameplay.>One-time purchase.>Refundable via Apple.>The best value if you plan to play the full game.
>>729606673Do you have each status as its own scene, or are you just saving this all to its own resource to load in as a status needs it? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this kind of shit in Godot.
>>729606687Oh I am. A lot of the Area3Ds are just part of other scenes I'm instantiated, but in my main level scene where it's all composited together, it's a visual mess without using the filters.
>>729607167Resources come in handy when you are declaring small "sets of data" that you will use to instance other stuff or just to check them out. They are lightweight so they are perfect for this kind of stuff. So far I've used them for>dialogue>items>status effects>enemy attacksbasically as lil data bases
>>729607260I think you should split things across scenes even more, or study some project to see how they do things. I can't really understand your project without a screenshot or something similar.
If you made a prototype for your game, when did you move over from the prototype to the real thing? I've been making vertical slices of different genres and games throughout this year for the sake of learning, and now I'm doing one for the genre I actually want my first game to be. It's still a long way off being at a point where I'd be comfortable saying this is the game itself, even in an early form, so I view it as more of a prototype than anything else, but I'm wondering how I should move over to the real deal when I get to that stage. A part of me feels like I should just copy over everything I have, but that also seems lazy so I don't know if it'd be wiser to redo everything from the ground up and just treat this as a throwaway project that exists just for learning. It still won't happen anytime soon anyway, but I'm curious if anyone else has been in a similar situation.
>>729607924Is the prototype fun enough to be a full game? Move onto making the full game.>lazyWho the fuck cares what's lazy or not? If it works and it saves you time, then it's not laziness, it's efficiency.
>>729607427Huh, haven't thought to use dialog with resources before. Granted I'm using a CSV to dump all of my dialog in, so upon loading, I just open up whichever sheets an actor requests, attach the strings to it, then close the file(s). If I could make Godot var exports use/write to a CSV directly that'd be fucking dandy for shit like weapon/equipment stats, since I like having my shit all in one place.
>>729608132I have all the actual text in a .json file. The resources are for setting up the dialogue itself like in picrel: which text to show, which animation to play while doing so and all that stuff

>>729608697wrong thread kek but now you're obliged to give a source
>>729607924Once I figured out the bare minimum I needed in the prototype and it was fun, I started planning out the full game and switched to a new project where I laid down what I had learned so I could build on it.
>>729608697
>>729606410thanks, too bad I don't know how to code multiplayer. Have to figure that out soon>>729606553ah that's a bug, I'll fix that

>>729597246Have you considered other colors for the goblin armor? What would be the best color for goblin armor?
anyone has cool ideas for checkpoints/save points? no bonfire nor "goddess statue" please
>>729608898https://nhentai.net/g/265949/
>>729606097Kinda. It sounds like you might be be able to cut some, like how static bodies can have their own low friction PhysicsMaterial instead of an Area3D to make things slippery and there's a VisibleOnScreenEnabler3D/Notifier3D for rendering zones.It should be possible to roll some of these into one. Instead of separate triggers to start a cutscene, fix the camera, and change music you tie it all to the Zone you're entering or whatever. Don't forget you can delegate responsibilities to non-spacial Nodes or Resources so you can have one Area3D trigger set them off instead of putting it all under some ugly monolith script or a bunch of visible objects.Some of these sound unavoidable if you need that level of control, in which case all you can do is organize. Remember that each CollisionShape3D can have its own color in the editor and you can put them under a parent node to toggle visibility all at once. Or make the areas @tool objects so they can hide themselves on demand, but tool scripts can get messy

>>729610556>https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/551338452/#551370704>what the hell is this about?>see reply chain>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvQ9s30xnQUDamn how will fygoon ever recover
>>729610478>but you'd have to make them pretty conspicuous if you do that.yeah I don't know. Maybe a combination of save rooms + a place to sit and write in there could be cool, but at that point I might just resort to something simple, like the stone with etchings or some ancient, abandoned elven artifact. Those could fit anywhere>>729610614true! but still, way too comedic for what I'm trying to do hereif the game was more comedic or just self-aware then it could be nice, but I'm trying to stick to "generic fantasy epic">>729610894sad to see, I guess everyone went to either here, the discord or both
Bullying works. You just have to bully extra hard to make up for the lack of bullying zoomers receive in real life
>>729610973Floating journal+feather too gamey?Does it need to not break ludonarrative? As in, only something that'd make sense in the spot you have it in, and as gobbos are illiterate fucks the journal would be stupid?Consider animal familiar.Owls can fly. They're associated with wisdom. Have your dude whisper to the owl to save because it'll deliver the story to X or the goddess Athena/your whatever.Super generic and rarely out of place unless you go superlative in environs (like a volcano).
>>729610946>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvQ9s30xnQU>Damn how will fygoon ever recover>recoverkek
>>729610973A stone with etchings could be cool. I recommend looking at the Sigurd stones for design inspiration: I remember seeing them when I was looking up the story of Siegfried after hearing it in Django Unchained and seeing that as the picture on his Wikipedia page.
>>729611145Are you talking irl or 4chan? If the latter then you're absolutely deranged. There are no examples of bullying actually working because nobody gives a fuck and just writes it off as shitposting.Also none of us are zoomers here besides fygoon unironically, he's born in 2004.
I thought the point of /v/ threads was to ignore /agdg/ entirely, why bother talking about them here?I like these threads cus they're mostly progress or discussiions, and bringing /agdg/ into the mix just adds a ton of gossip and bullshit.idk.Anyway, I don't have anything to share! Sorry, so sorry. Taking a break til Jan 1.
>>729610270Based. Can't play it on mobile but will when I get home. It must play in fullscreen but the resolution also does this strange fuckey thing of zooming I can't fix. I heard there is something the developer can enable to not force fullscreen on playing itch in-browser but I know so little about it. Would say you should upload it to WG but thay site's even more of a dumpsterfire now than usual. Still though, you and dat_cave_togake are ambassidors of a very niche crosssection of tastes that jives with me, so keep up the good work.
>>729611321Anons were making loligames here when fygoon was still in kindergarten
>>729611321>he was born in 2004True, but there's simply no way I'm the youngest person here. It's absolutely impossible.
>>729609220Undertale does those glowing spots and Kingdom Hearts has the save ring/spaces. Why not something like that and the character could introspect or monolog briefly?
>>729611414It's just a butthurt /agdg/ loser trying to start shit. Best not to pay attention.Anyway, what kind of game are you making?
>>729611415I just enabled fullscreen, it is indeed just an option you can tick on Itch, but it's not true fullscreen but you can kinda zoom in to make it betterSorry for no mobile support, it's hard to test for me>Would say you should upload it to WGI just did. Apparently the Projects category is being closed down for six months? I really don't get why it's so difficult to run a site that hosts stupid fetish games...
>>729611414A certain somebody cannot help but bring them up any time. See >>729604153, >>729604364, and >>729610894>>729611504If you're not the youngest physically then you're the youngest mentally, imbecile.
>>729611504I've had to bury people younger than you and by God I'm sad it had to be them instead of you.
>>729611504You're definitely the youngest of the devs who post here semi-regularly>you, dragons guy>red goblins guy>green goblins guy>shaders guy>sidescroller ninja guy>3D platform guy
>>729611209I like the owl idea>>729611283damn this is so neat. I think I should chill with the progress and spend some time investigating lore of several mythologies>>729611639that's a bit too generic but I can't deny that it works. If can't come up with anything that feels more unique or special I could do just that
>>729611639>Why not something like that and the character could introspect or monolog briefly?In that case just have the player pick up a random skull and reminisce on his fondness for Yorick or whatever.
One of them comes in this thread from time to time and I have to bully. I'll accept your thanks now.
can you two retards shut up now?
>>729611736>red goblins guyhey I'm 34, but I think my mind stopped developing before reaching 20. My game will have a lot of "thing I thought was cool when I was 14"
>>729609220Is there a particular reason for checkpoints and do you have an inventory system? You could have a adventuring journal acting as a manual save.
>>729611467>hmmm I don't recognize any of these games>last gameFUUUUUCKK TIME FLIES
>bully>on 4chan
>>729611750Stones good for repeatable savesOwls/animals good for one-time saves if you have them fly away
>>729610546Loli games are based. This is the only site where you can post loli games without anyone being a fag about it.
>>729611414>Anyway, I don't have anything to share!>>729611657>Anyway, what kind of game are you making?lol proof fygoon doesn't even read people's posts and just reflexively does this politician act.
>>729611669As I see it it's two root issues>legality>moderationThat's spinning out of control. Many rabid people are opinionated on the application of AI in these games, and many people are doing Patreons/kickstarters with varying degrees of follow through which generates ire over those projects. I specifically also know there's a lot of people pissed off about supposed loli/teen content being either not tolerated or slipping under the radar, but is only addressed because the owner drew that line in the sand for afformentioned legal reasons. Grot straight up scared me when he was talking about bending to the knee for the Online Saftey Act and the UK pestering international websites. Couple that with the absolute shitshow that is the Visa/Mastercard situation on Itch and Steam and the state of expressive freedom and artistic merit all seem to be on loose soil. I'm scared bro.
>>729612069>Anyway,He even mirrors people. Bone chilling.
>>729611789That's a cool idea
>>729574531It took me a month, but I got models and textures working for Vulkan.
>>729611750Oh I love Bubo (and Clash of the Titans as a whole). Listen, learning about real world history is fun and can help make your world more rich, but do not let it consume your time. Otherwise, you'll be left researching what the Roman plebeians ate just so you can make a weird alien analog for your society of walking, talking bulldogs that serves no purpose other than to add value to your game's website.
>>729612029>without anyone being a fag about it.the actual shota in this thread is having a melty about it, it's literally the stop having fun meme
>>729611865Right now I have a "save anywhere" system but you respawn at check points, because I don't trust allowing the player save anywhere and things not fucking up unless he respawns at a safe position.Thing is, while working on status effects I started wondering about allowing the players to save when they were already fucked up (for example, low on life and burning while having no curatives at all) which could mean them getting softlocked, so some anons suggested for me to change the system: lots of ideas where threwn around but I think having a system where you can only save at checkpoints or savepoints works best for this kind of game. Worked for King's Field and for Metroid, should work for me. Plus it's a simple system for players to understand
>>729612069He thinks these threads are "his" cool club of gamedevs "only" and that nodevs are not allowed hence why he spams that dumb "post your game" shit.Here's a surprise for him, I'm not a gamedev, I've been lurking these threads for years before he showed up, and I'm not leaving any time soon.
>>729612029Well, there's the ring and some glownigger sites etc. but yeah.Loli is freedom and anyone hating on it is explicitly anti-freedom.
>>729612076I guess I'll have to push the envelope further and make a fat loli game next...maybe one with Princess Mini...
>>729611789Not him but that actually sounds awesome. The only problem is making it stick out. Skulls and corpses are great ways to build tension, indicate traps, or just add some life into a room like an orcish Martha Stewart. Now you can't do that without making players second guess if it was some generic skull or The Save Skull
>>729612284Unnatural X color glow you don't otherwise plan to use.Purple, or green, or red, just pick one and never use that for anything but the skull.
>>729612029Sounds like you're only here because you're not getting bullied like on other sites
>>729612174
>>729611736>>shaders guythat ones me, I'm 31I need to start posting gameplay stuff again so I'm not deemed shaders guy for life... but I'm on break from devving so I don't go crazy lol>>729611657>Anyway, what kind of game are you making?surreal walking sim + video game simulator.basically LSD Dream Emulator-like mixed with a few playable games inside of it like UFO 50>>729612242idk, I don't mind getting asked about my game if I make a post w/o sharing anything from it>>729612196one suggestion I'd have is to keep saving anywhere, but clear status conditions upon loading back into the gameproblem with that is ppl can easily cheese it, where they get poisoned, save/quit, and load back in w/o the ailment.i've also seen a few ppl suggest having ailments not be able to kill the player, but I think that kind of takes away from the urgency the player should feel while they're poisoned, burned, cursed, etc
>>729606673looks like you are hard-coding what the status does. I recommend having effects either in a list or as decorations, and they define the status's behaviour
>>729611736>3D platform guyI'm probably the oldest. I'm 36.
>>729574531nortubel 2 when
>>729612943Is that cel shaded for the boy?
>>729612196>Right now I have a "save anywhere" system but you respawn at check points, because I don't trust allowing the player save anywhere and things not fucking up unless he respawns at a safe position.If your checkpoints were close enough I'd say consider not having them all, just a wide radius checkpoint that gets quietly set off as the player passes. But with that life bar I'm guessing it can be quite a walk?I mostly bring it up because I'm reminded of a Mario fan remake where hitting a checkpoint plays this loud whistle and special effects and I fucking hated it so much. The button to turn it off doesn't even work. Jesus Christ, nobody needs to know their next checkpoint that badly
>>729612943friendly reminder that this nigga has a job, a family, and probably stuff like back pains or prostate problems yet he's still making a very cool videogame
nobody boughtered my game
>>729612676>LSD Dream Emulator-likeDo you have a steam or itch.io page?
>>729612676>one suggestion I'd have is to keep saving anywhere, but clear status conditions upon loading back into the game>problem with that is ppl can easily cheese it, where they get poisoned, save/quit, and load back in w/o the ailment.yeah that's why I don't like the idea. Status ailments should be a real problem, not a chore that's taken care of with a load screen. I agree with you on the matter of killing the player, and yeah I'm keeping that>>729612915they aren't hardcoded or at least we don't understand "hardcoding" in the same way lol. What you see there is the exact same properties for all status effects, only the values change>>729613245>Jesus Christ, nobody needs to know their next checkpoint that badlykek yeah. I'll probably have it be manual. Like getting close to a well or etched stone or whatever, press a button and save. With no annoying sounds nor anything like that.>But with that life bar I'm guessing it can be quite a walk?What makes you think the lifebar is in any way related to how near or far the save points are from each other?
>>729613274So like Tolkien writing his books about midgets and wizards.
I need to grind this week to get my demo ready for January. All that's left is adding some audio files, some icons and a small cutscene.
>>729609220>yes i will include fire paper completely unchanged from the game i am copying>but i draw the line at resting at campfires
>>729613726and Japanese cartoons has something to do with that?
>>729613276same
>>729613864sexy pits
>>729613695yeah. I was complimenting him
>>729613864Ye.
>>729613468>not hardcodedare properties like attack multiplier and prevent others coded directly into the status definition? If so, that is hardcoded. an effects list with an effect subclass, like attack multiplier, is not hardcoding effects directly onto the status
>>729613441nah sorryI'm really lazy, the trailer + screenshots are mostly done, but I still gotta add sound to the trailer and finish the capsule image. I also need to think of a name for the game
>>729613849exactly nigga. My game, my rules
>>729613952>If so, that is hardcodedwell anon, I have to define the values somewhere, and the resource itself is the best place to do so. If I did that in some external list, would you think the list is hardcoded?
>>729611736>all the anons saying they are 30+ years oldI'm starting to think gamedev is an oldman hobby. Not that I mind, means I'm in the right place
>>729614102i think you are confused, it doesnt matter anyway. code it however you like, figured id give you some advice
>>729613864kill yourself retard. mind your own posts
>>729614209yeah I think we aren't talking about the same thing. Just in case: the properties you see there are part of the class, and the values are assigned in the resource (ie. the instance of that class)
>>729613962Have you tried:>Psilocin: Diary of an Oneirologist
I said it once, I’ll say it again. Players catch on to bad enemy variety and will refund your game if you do that.
>>729613962>trailer + screenshots mostly done>no sound>no namegrim
>>729613949elfu
>>729614142>gamedev is an oldman hobbyNot really. My buddies and I have been making silly games since we were kids. It's simply a hobby anyone can enjoy.
>>729613864>this is bullying to him
>>729614451you have been doing this for 10 years and you still suck this much?holy fuck kill yourself
>>729614717Post game.
>>729613468>What makes you think the lifebar is in any way related to how near or far the save points are from each other?Basic design philosophy. If I see a flimsy protagonist like Super Meat Boy or Celeste, I know the player probably respawns in the same room because they aren't willing to do instant death traps over and over. Mario dies in one or two hits so his checkpoints are about half a minute apart. Link has a billion hearts plus potions and fairies, so nobody minds if he respawns at the very start of a dungeon.Your guy can take some punishment and use healing items like Link, so he's built to withstand journeys of considerable length. I can't say "hey, don't even bother marking checkpoints" like I can for Super Mario because that could be hugely important information for the player.Of course, it's not a perfect metric. Mega Man can carry a million hit points but faces enough instant death traps to need checkpoints spaced like Mario's
>>729614717And you are…who exactly?
>>729614459Not me, I already said what I was referring to clearly
>>729613089Yeah, the body is cel-shaded, while the head is 2D drawn. He has 32 directions he can face, which, in motion is hardly noticable. The hair has only 2 directions, but it rotates like Micky Mouses ear's depending on the angle.
what engine should i use to make a game based on this?
>>729615356Based on gay sex? Godot
>>729614451Must... not... bully
>>729614142imo it's moreso that many younger devs are still participating in the social media skinnerbox posting progress on bsky/twitter/discord and getting premature validation for smoke and mirrors rather than actually working on the unglamorous parts of their projects.too many treat it like content creation first, gamedev second but it's pretty hard to build anything real or substantial like that.older anons lucked out living through an era where they had more room to build good creative habits before these infinite distractions became nearly impossible to avoid because nearly everything is online now.saying all of this as a 2002-born dev who went through this cycle. not gonna be approaching the big platforms until i have something complete to show.
>>729615540It's not Christmas anymore, the truce is lifted.
>>729612196>I started wondering about allowing the players to save when they were already fucked up (for example, low on life and burning while having no curatives at all)>"Dear Diary, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"I know why bonfires are a no-go, but how about camp sites like in Monster Hunter? It doesn't need to be anything too complicated, simply something that looks something that makes you think "yes I could rest here a bit."
>>729616069because I have camping as a separate mechanic that's still not implemented, but I don't want to force players to setup camp whenever they want to save
>>729615356dont you guys have anything better to do?
>>729616392messed up the spoiler tags!
>>729616446bullying is good but no bully me ok?
>>729615951No, not only is it shameful because of the age difference but I realized a while ago he basically learned to incite people to attack him in his school years and then would farm sympathy and favors from teachers with that and basically use the leverage of being the "special" kid who gets "bullied" (because he deliberately provokes it) to further his snobby alter ego routine he does. Like there's no reason for him to sign so many of his shitposts with his game, he wants to be the target of ridicule, he wants the bad attention and he will attack and bully others regardless, but then still act like the special wholesome kid who is just making his childhood lizard game.
>>729616608holy obsessed lmao
>>729609220Use a Save item. Have them be limited, but heal all status effects + give a bit of health in order to avoid saving whilst fuuuuucked
>>729616689>Save item. Have them be limitedthat would fix the issue, but I doubt people would enjoy that save mechanic
>>729609329the no more heroes approach, classic
>>729616732Enjoyed it just fine in resident evil!
some food
>>729616836what about kingdom come
>>729616836yeah but it's 2 very different kinds of games. Imagine having limited saves in Zelda, or Skyrim or Dragon's Dogma. I get the point of your idea but I still believe having save points in specific locations might be a better approach
>gathering 30 copyright free photos>had to watch a 1hr 30min doc>writing two pages of notes>Writing 5 newspaper full of lore>had to make a whole fucking mapIM GOING TO KMS
>>729616608You just know he got bullied so hard his mom put him on self defense class >>729615356
>>729614451The new Fygoon looks great. Good to see you improving!
>>729616896I don't remember having problems with it, but the game also saved when bed was used IIRC. >>729616963Classic checkpoints are just simpler to do and for players to understand. Well how about a talking tube like pic related, with a random chance of a getting called a slur by a goblin?
>>729617204Those 10 years really paid off it seems! Good luck on your game Dragon Khan. I see the other name was just the working title.
>new fygoon>it's realhttps://youtu.be/TvQ9s30xnQU&t=30
>>729617204That looks amazing! I didn't expect a 4chan dev to be so talented. He made that all on his own?
>>729617205>how about a talking tube like pic related, with a random chance of a getting called a slur by a goblin?anon, you should charge for ideas as good as this one
>that one anon who made fygoon in 10 minutes to shitpost him>now a AA studio made Fygoon 2.0 lol
While getting ready to design one of the final weapons, I realized I had made an egregious error that required correcting, though it's one I'm loath to admit: Agile class enemies had to have their tits nerfed by 10%. I was adjusting weapon scales because Agiles are 1.1x the size of the player, and I realized that I didn't correct for this engine scaling in the base model, so their energy cores needed to be reduced in size so they'd be correct after the 1.1x scaling of the rig. But since the energy core is the left tit in these models... I'm sorry /v/ I had to do itFunnily enough I think this makes them look more proportional and a lot better overall, which I'm pretty sure makes me gay.
>>729617385Focus, F.
Is this too much?>Shift single presscrouch>Shift + directionDodge>Shift holdLock on
>>729617724go play Alien Soldier with a 3-button gamepad. If that isn't too much, you are probably fine
My game would need to sell 5000 copies to make more than a McDonalds job.
>>729617724that sounds like a recipe for a disaster but can't say for sure without seeing it in action
>>729617724That's going to lead to me accidentally rolling a lot when I meant to crouch, because that's the system Let it Die uses.
i only ever do gamejams. im either not here and instead working on a game in a way that will take years away from my life, or im here.
>>729617724Putting lock on on the same key as dodge is absolutely psychotic.
Fygoon your game and and Japanese cartoons has something to do with that? Why did you shy away from your roots? You brazilian monkey oh you.
>>729617724>>Shift single press>crouch>>Shift + direction>Dodgethis is similar to what Max Payne did for enabling bullet-time or doing a bullet-dive>>Shift hold>Lock onthis might be too much
>>729616871Why are the ayyliens alien hominid clones?
>>729616871great food sprites! My favorite? The pizza with pepperoni and melting cheese
>>729617781will check it>>729617843>>729617854>>729617928my problem is it's the hold to lock on type not just press and forget and i already have right click for block/parry and ctrl for another mechanic and space for jump can't find another button to use
I just saw someone mention Northern Journey in another thread and it reminded me of the awesome devlogs (they're more like postmortems) the dev made. He's an interesting character. Something about the videos are really comfy. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIjt1mKWn4oI wish I had the confidence to make something like this about my game. It would help to not be ugly.
>>729618024>fygoon hates anime avatars>his dinosaur avatars are fine thoughIt really is irksome. But again he does it on purpose.
When I sent him the Dragon Khan link this was his reply.
>>729618256that's very neat. I would do the same but yeah, ugly, haha
>>729618457hes currently seething in >>>/vg/551913018
>>729618675
>>729617724so let's consider some use cases:>I am currently locking on which means I'm holding down shift. now I want to crouch or uncrouch. I'll have to stop locking on, then tap shift, then start holding it down again but only after the tap has registered.this sounds bad to me but maybe in your game there's never a reason to mix locking on and crouching in any way. maybe locking on uncrouches automatically?>I want to dodge but I don't want to change where the camera is pointedseems impossible. I'll have to "hold" shift for at least a short moment to register a directional input. although I suppose I could do the directional input first and then only tap shift. maybe that works.>I want to crouch but not have it affect the cameraif there is enough of a delay before shift counts has being "held" this will be no issue.it will be useful for you to watch someone play the game, especially if you are not around, so watching a recording of someone playing the game where you can't step in and explain shit to the player. this way you will see the jank you need to fix.
>>729618665i genuinely feel bad for him this is my worst nightmare as a dev and why i will not post my game until it's 90% ready for steam demo
>>729618665>He thinks that friend characters are goodI see he hasn't read all the Prime 4 complaints that want all of the quippy friends to leave
>>729618893crouch is to dodge high attacks like jump to dodge low attacksCamera is fixed and there's soft lock on the hard lock on with shift is mainly to have another moveset for attacks like dmc
Oh so it's Eldon who's having a seethefest and derailing the thread with off-topic nonsense. Looks like /v/3 didn't too hot and he's here to make it everyone's problem.Huh, you think you know a guy.
Real life is so traumatic that I'm not sure how I can even want to make a game at this point.
>>729619346If I had any balls I'd quit my job and live off my savings until I'd finished my game and an hero if it flopped. But I'm a weak pussy so I'll keep going back to the wage cage for 40+ hours a week.
And btw, /v/3 actually did great and surprised even me. Just you wait until all the announcements we have in store on New Year's Day. And no, I'm not your personal boogeyman. Nice try.
there's too many schizos! it's hard to keep up with who's who and what's what
>>729618665Does Fygoon have best friend characters who fight alongside you? I've only ever seen the main character fighting alone lolDoes he consider the action figure pose screenshots he does actual gameplay? Oh my my my
Im never returning to 4chan game dev threads! NEVER! RETURNING!
>try to discuss his game>he calls it offtopic Strange.
>>729619985freudian slip
>never learned to code>never became fluent in Japanese>never learned how to play an instrument well>never learned how to draw>forever an ideas guyJUST
>>729619226Don't you have any new art or renders? Seems like you've been re-using the same few images for a while now.
>>729620161nooo don't point it out, his pictures he keeps posting over and over aren't avatars they're just stop asking questions!!
>>729619674Thank you for outing yourself as someone who has never played the game. Next time you try to hate on me, do it honestly.
>fygoon and his friends shitting up the thread againwell at least its close to bump limit
>>729620261>types this instead of showing this supposed feature in his gameHow can someone who posts his game 24 hours a day be so bad at actually promoting the game?
>>729620439>implying fygoon has friends
Does agdg seriously have nothing better to do than harass another dev? Fygoon can definitely be annoying at times, but the people stalking him and harassing him are just as bad if not worst.
>>729574531Finally began working on some legs for a character I've had in mind for a while.
>>729620860they don't make games, that's for sure, which begs the question of what the fuck are they doing here in the first place
>>729620860Btw I'm NOT Nik "Fygoon" R. I'm simply just an anonymous user ("anon" if you will) making an unbiased observation. Now, can anyone tell me how much they love dragons?
>>729576338>picShit I forgot all about Cirnosader, the images I have saved from February are pure 2D, looking amazing
>>729620950good shit anon. I'd make the feet longer
>>729616608>he basically learned to incite people to attack him in his school years and then would farm sympathy and favorsHe's doing it again.
>>729604506No, he said you should be able to.
>>729620978I'm not Fygoon. I'm simply asking questions as to why people would attack someone posting about game development in a game dev thread.He's not perfect, but at least he stays on topic. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about his haters.
>>729619889i have a feeling the other game dev related boards are inactive because the majority of anons who do infrequently post there are actually making their games.the graveyards are full of jesters so to speak.>>729620950coming from another dev working on 3d robot stuff, this is very wonderful anon, good work.do you have a sketch of the full character? rollerblade robot girl i'm assuming?
>>729621035Thanks!The whole concept started with tiny feet, so I feel like I have to see it through.May change the size in the end, if it doesn't fit.>>729621334Thank you!No, going by some images I have in my head.It usually ends up looking completely different, but hopefully it will still look interesting.
>>729621334>>729621554And, yes, rollerblade robogirl is pretty spot on!
>>729621221>but at least he stays on topicHAHAHAHAHAHA
Havent touched my game in a month or 2. Work + christmas break and all that.Last i was working on it i was doing A* pathfinding and the beginning of combat.So yeah, just had to take a break right before the hard stuff huh past me?
I'm not Fygoon. I'm simply asking questions, believe me I'm not Fygoon. Why would people attack someone clearly not me posting about game development in a game dev thread. He and clearly not me, because I'm not him stays on topic. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about my haters.
gamedev?
>>729621873gamesuffering.
>>729621787>Not hating Fygoon means that the poster must be Fygoon because....reasons!!!
>>729620860>Does fagoon seriously have nothing better to do than harass another dev?applies to all the games out there that make it>ENA>Peripeteia>Sybil>never-evers (Air Strip Angels + The Scramble Vice)>...etc
>>729622087You forgot the Wonder of Blue, he kept showing up with his gay green dragon avatar and shitting on it as the first reply furiously refreshing the catalog
>>729617724If dodge is a roll specifically, so it feels like a “moving crouch”, and holding the button after the roll leaves you crouched, that works, but for the love of god, lose the lock on input from there. That’s just atrocious.
i come into these threads every few months or so to see if the circumstances have changed and i'm surprised you guys are still talking about this person.any specific reason why you guys keep taking the bait and fixating on them?
>>729622243so if I succeed I might get attacked and stalked by lizard?
>>729622365Just make sure to not leak anything because he will dox you and spam it everywhere and stalk you

>>729622473You're obsessed to the point of being deranged. Dude, chill out and work on your game instead of wasting so much energy on a complete stranger.You do have a game, right?
>>729622473Yes basically everything they tell you to be scared of with the 4chan mentally ill hacker guy but without the skills
Knocking out code for node types for my rouge-like. I have no assets done, everything is a place holder. I got 2 left for initial set. When I finish, I think I will work on basic layout system. I have everything placed hard coded and a mix of functions toLeftOf, centerOf, below, etc. I want do something a little bit better. Anyone know of a good basic layout system I can mimic or use if its C++ and friendly license?
We need 1 deranged anon to doxx and kill f*goon
fygoon confirmed mossad
>>729622868>find bjj center he trained in>inquire about him>say you're a long lost relative and suchEasy
>>729622243>Wonder of BlueOh fuck you're right. He got an extreme hateboner for it that even surpasses his hate for ENA, surprisingly enough.
>try making a rpg maker game>nail down gameplay that isn't related to its god awful combat>abandon it because lmao solo dev with no clear idea on what to make>now have free time after wageslavingsomeone throw some ideas my way
>>729623242I wonder if he's using some sort of script because he's originally from the sharty people said. He can't be this mentally ill to watch the catalog 24/7 right?
>>729623342whatever you do, if you add a romanceable non human, I will play and maybe even buy it
I'll post /v/3 anyway. Wishlist the guys on the right.
>>729623453I only wishlist games I actually might buy one day, sorry
I wanted my game to be black and white because nice style.But goddamn the readability is gone now.>Top left is a bank + wizard>Left is a giant telescope>Top right is a throne and a staircase, staircase is temp though>Rest is an empty room and 2 caverns.Do i need to do pixel sizing, white backgrounds or just succumb to colour?
>>729623908use silhouettes to actually make black/white look clear
>>729623354>I wonder if he's using some sort of scriptCould be>because he's originally from the sharty people said.Absolutely not surprising im the least.Is there proof for this though? He started his shit tenure here since 2023 which somewhat corroborates this but some screenshots would be golden.>He can't be this mentally ill to watch the catalog 24/7 right?I thought the same but he's on EST timezone and he does miss out on threads.
>>729622473cool list thanks for the clarification.though not sure if you realize it but you're sucking this person's dick more than anyone else at this point mr fygoon lorekeeper
>>729623354>shartyqrd?
-FINALLY figured out how to get Unreal to run shit in 4:3 mode. Turns out I was doing everything right, it's just the engine wasn't setting the camera correctly when starting. Now just need to add the setting in the options menu, update the UIs to sizebox correctly, and create a few pieces of art for the side UI panels.-Polishing up the beginning areas and doing bug testing for an initial Alpha demo.-Put together a WIP itch page to devlog some shit. Not published yet, but I do appreciate eyes and feedback (https://3gg1.itch.io/gloamsnarl?secret=Qf9UgJcrWB2BR6inHHzHaIqc3g)-Creating and populating all the various SFX and ambient tracks for weather and areas.The work continues.
>>729624534Some mental patients on cloned 4chan site that hacked this site earlier this year
>>729593337i used hammer++ with godots vmf plugin and it works wellthe only main drawback is having to recreate all the textures in the vtf/vmt formati just really wish unity had something at all even close to yet, its been decades and not a single person has come up with a solution recently ue5 got scythe editor and im jealous as shit
>>729624741SabreCSG?
>>729624612Looking good. Nice skybox specially.
>>729624179That helped, but im just gonna have to go for simple coloured highlights.
>>729624612maybe it's just because the images got resized or something to do with being on a large flat color, but the scanlines look really rough in the first 3 pictures on itch. the other 3 pictures are mostly fine
>>729624612Nice progress Anon.
I'm trying to fill out a story for my action roguelike to make it more like an rpg because I'm fucking retarded or something. It has a bizarre 1080p pixel art aesthetic and I'm going to mix in brush drawings to play in the background like a puppet-theater so they don't interrupt gameplay.
>>729624612>looks like something a Voodoo 1 could run>probably needs a 1050gtx at minimum to hit 60fps
>>729624820horrendously outdated and not even remotely feasible to do real work with itive tried all the fucking CSG editors for unity and theyre quite literally all non functional
>>729622756Of course he doesn't. You think he'd have all that time to make up fan theories if he was busy making a game?>>729622868Come get some, fatty.
>call him out in the /agdg/ thread because his posts are too easy to spot>he shows up in /v/ gamedev-threadtoo easy
>>729624972Yeah, those are placeholders I whipped up from some older screenshots when I was messing around with the scanline PP. Can't decide if I'll use it in the end. Maybe make it a user setting.>>729625076That's about right, you'll need a good sound card though. Targeting 30 though, and thats up from 24 lol.>>729624871>>729625020Thank you!
>>729625515Can you show proof that your game has a friendly character that fights alongside you? I would like to see proof.
>>729624612looks great anon, very nice
>Exist>An army of neckbeards just randomly spawn to seethe about itGuess I'll just keep living then.
>>729626073>>729626129too easy

>>729626208...the posting child porn to "own" the lolidevs award
>>729626215Holy kino! Haters will have nothing to say about this.Get wrecked, nodev scumbags! Fygoon always delivers!!
>>729626215Finally I can rest.
Cris tier
>>729626335...DoorDash
>>729626208Used it as my new profile picture on itch.io. Appreciate you.Also I just checked and my game randomly got 23 downloads. Something is definitely sus because the most downloads my game ever got on one day was nine.
>>729626502Dragon Khan already doing wonders
>>729626590Why settle as a mere tribal khan when you can be a Basileus and, ultimately, Supreme Emperor of the Planet?
>>729626502Probably traffic from /v/3
I can't wait for dragon khan, that game looks actually polished
>>729626760/v/3 happened days ago. All of these views were localized to just today.Consequently, it's very unnerving.
>>729626502I feel bad for those 23 kids. Did you really need to bundle The Frydarian Tale with malware?
