How's your game dev going?
It plays like shit
>>738846112dead hobby. too many shitty games.
>>738846112Fuck, what's this stupid image with (your engine) I saved. I've been posting this for months. need a correct image.
made a water stream for the flooded sectionit all makes sense now>>738846224I made that one lel, gotta respect the enginebros
Coming along. Trying to figure out a way to make this attack not feel like bullshit.
>>738846480The Slayer fans will love it, but unless that dash is giving you iframes you might end up in an scenario where all those balls make it unavoidable

>>738846861check you twatter DM's pls
>>738846861I hope you don't mind games that look like they were made by 10 year olds.
>>738846112Testing windows/glass, I think it looks ok
>>738847154>He finally has more than just the water pipe
has anyone made a gooner game yet?
>>738847262Go to >>>/vg/agdg and ask for Cristobal. He's an expert on the subject.
How to modernize the action survival horror genre? Re 1-3 are outstanding games. The genre should stay relevant in 2030.
>>738846112I am entering my snobby indie dev phase
>>738847469Ground Zero has some interesting approaches. Parry and focus shot on combat and currency system where you get more points from enemies are killed weaker weapons. IMO the biggest benefit fixed camera survival horror gets from modern tech are the graphics, which is a shame that they are so rarely used for that purpose.
>>738846978Sorry, Twitter didn't notify me I had pending messages. >>738847102Make a gameplay clip then
any neat gamejams happening at the moment?
>>738848030I hear a rumor there's another v3jam coming in the fall
>>738846480How do you go about balancing this sort of stuff?
>>738847741Koreans starting to make decent games.>graphicsYou can create an outstanding prerendered background within hours, which took weeks back in the 90s.Is gz a rpg or does it merely have rpg elements?>ParryI think survival horror needs one shots. Having green health means you are immortal for at least one blow and you can reapply withstand one blow in the menu. This has to stop.
I accidentally released a version of the game out that crashed on start up. Almost 1000 people have downloaded my game so far but only 180 still have it installed, it doesn't help that i keep fucking shit upit's a mobile casual game and I've made £0.40 from ads on it since yesterday
>>738848346>KoreansI thought so too until the credits rolled. Apparently it's Swedes behind it.>ParryThere are oneshot attacks in the game. If anything the biggest disappointment was that devs cared enough to give player an execution animation in old RE2 death screen with black background style, but didn't do those for the player!Also just remembered, giving player choice to occasionally select from two options which area to take next. That's another thing modern takes could hone more, either the RE2 A/B routes or RE3 choices.
>>738846480You should balance these attacks around the fact that you have very limited vertical movement. Have the Raining Blood attack shoot up from the bottom and explode in the air.
>>738847186I hoping the get the steam page launched by the end of the year, I also added some subtle noise
>>738848569Ye, I was just repeating what I read here. Stupid of me to think people here think before they shit post.>swedesCucks. Somehow great at design and somewhat decent at vidya development>executionNah, you can't skip that. Just shows that swedes are cucks. The execution has to be sheer horror. When playing re2r together a friend of mine jumped and refused to enter the room. The killcam in re2r is very good, at least when zombies rip out throats or the like. Killcam can get ridiculous, see mortal kombat. This needs to be avoided..>choiceObviously. Re2 did it great, especially the zippy mechanic. Easy to implement and big on impact.>respectIm afraid it boils down to that. Players aren't respected enough.>replayabilityWhat do? Mini games with expanded riddles, like easy to progress, hard to get the goody or some other side activities (which ones??) would help. Multiple characters and paths are a must in these game imo. Some areas that aren't needed to progress would help, too. Maybe extra modes like playing the enemy? Time attack and others to>unlock unlockablesI think this is key to replayability> modern horrorWhat could be implemented from more recent horror games?
>>738846112Really bad. I never get past fun ideas; have tried making something but always run into some code related issue where I can't find an easy enough solution, and give up 1 month in.>Soulslike, but cars>action slasher a cooking minigame where organs of slain enemies are used to cook buffs (if successful)>story driven empire builder + noita-like rpg where I can seamlessly switch to 1st/3rd pov to explore/fight/affect world events that happen without player input>assassination/heist game where the player is given to the few days time limit and one goal, but no other information, no quest markers. Player's gotta scout out and come up with their own ways to compete the task.And many more.
Compiled some good ones, didn't bother making it align on the png. I finished up all of the books for quests and general use as "books". Right now giving every single npc and monster their own unique grimoire type. Grimoires are spell books dropped by npc/monsters vs Codex are player spell books that you can assigned (limited) spells to. The player can directly equip a grimoire over a codex but you cannot modify the spells in them. Pay gold to the church to have spells extracted from a grimoire. Next task is making all of the spells somehow.
>>738846112I added parachuting and gliding controls. So far I have a dynamic day/night cycle skybox with a simple weather/cloud system and rain, some editor terrain tools to make a big open world island, a simple water shader and swimming controls. I think today I'm gonna start working on vehicles controls, I wanna have cars, planes and boats, so far my idea for the game is a mix of Just Cause and Pilot Wings, just a big open world tropical island sandbox where you can walk, swim, drive, fly and then fill the island with checkpoint style race courses and collectables.
>>738849396Is for me
>>738849621looks pleasant. Remember to add cool secrets to find!
>>738849395>>Soulslike, but carsCool>ideasguy>>738849358>>738848569>>738848346Help modernize classic survival horror
>>738849656Thanks, I'll try.
>>738849682>modernizewhy? capcom tried that with RE4R by adding parries and shit and people hated that, no? Better think about some cool gimmick, like how in Dead Space you have to shoot the limbs instead of the head as usual
>>738846112https://testing.cliax-games.com/I got into an TxK mood recently and then felt inspired to update this old game of mine, so try it out and let me know what you guys think. I intend to submit it to Newgrounds' Low Poly Day, maybe I can win something.
>>738849682>>738849741Another interesting one to take a look at was Martian Gothic. It was poorly executed on survival horror gameplay because some genius decided to switch it from usual point and click adventure into that format chasing the trend, however it has cool shit like being able to switch between three charaters in real time.
>>738849643Hey there big dog
Lost defeated not even ai will help dumbass like me
>>738849962I know of that game but skipped studying it for obvious reasons.>change characters in rtAlways repels me. Why is it good in Martian gothic? Whta do the characters do in the meantime or do they simply beam into the screen by pressing a button?
>>738850327Ai can do plenty of stuff, you are barely coping
>>738850486You have three characters enter the Martian colony from three separate airlocks on different locations of the place to investigate why it has gone silent, "Stay alone, stay alive". For story reasons it's a game over if you bring the characters too close to each other, they can communicate via radios and there is a pneumatic tube system throughout the station you can use to transfer items from one character to another. You switch from one player to another on the fly whenever you need, they have different skills and as the puzzles demand you juggle who needs to be where to do what (and what route they need to take to get there), they can be attacked if you leave them in a vulnerable location. I usually hate party systems, so I liked this because it was just handling three individuals if that makes any sense, a nice compromise between RE0 and RE2's A/B.Another good invention was that save stations were computers where you could also see all lockers in station and what items they held, so if you put shit in them for inventory space and later forgot, you could check. Also convenient if you needed to find ammo or health, or when you were halfway through a puzzle and obviously was missing an item needed for it, like needing to open a vent and seeing that one locker was holding a screwdriver.
I wish I knew how to make video games
>>738851446you could learn, nobody knows shit before learning
>>738851670What do I need to learn? Where can I find the resources?
>>738851112>airlocks on different locations of the place to investigateThat's really good! This should be combined with route planning and stuff happening when character a uses route x, basically triggering some events. Neat!>zippyRe2 would be much better if you could play the campaigns simultaneously or change character after a while. Much more immersive.>re5What do you think of story chapters like Re5, but a narrator leads through the story, justifying chapter breaks?>computer systemBasically Dino crisis lockers, just modernized. Good. Could be combined with aforementioned route planning. Maybe time is a factor and running around brings problems fast. >soft lockA literal non issue in re games. Should be a thing trigger happy? Prepare to restart. Survival isn't really a thing in early re games, as there are heaps of items lying around. This however needs kick ass level design, as navigating back and forth will kill the game. Alone in the dark 4 has great atmosphere, but the level design is unbearable without save states. I think the map should be easy to memorize. Re3 is the worst re in terms of good maps imo.
>>738851861Everywhere in the Internet. Why don't you write down what a game need according to you.>battle mechancis>rest system or health system>weapons>enemiesAso
>>738846112More or less done with the physics collision part.Terrain LOD stitching is done, with less pains than anticipated.Heightmap's slopes now actually work (and I found that my normal calculation where bugged since the beginning, guess that explain why the terrain's shadowing always looked off).Gonna do one last attempt at physics performance improvements, then it's spreading the load of physics frame over several rendering frames, *then* I will be able to tackle gameplay stuff.
>>738849396Looking good
>>738846112Eh. I'm struggling trying to make some decent combat. Not sure what ingredient I'm missing. It feels like whenever I try out a game that has similar combat to what I want to achieve, no matter if it's super simple. I just can't quite get there. Maybe I'm just overthinking things because I'm so hyper focused on the details and difficulty, but it just never turns out all that fun.
How guilty, if at all, do you feel for using AI when coding your game? I always feel like I should use it less, but just today I used it to deal with some really annoying UI issues and a part of me feels bad but another part feels like I would have had so little patience for it doing it without that it would have taken me at least a week if not more. Even with the AI it took me like five hours. Still, I feel like it can't be good for my ability to figure out stuff like this on my own in the future.
>>738852414>but it just never turns out all that fun.Increase all animations' speed by 40%Increase all particles amount by 40%Increase all other VFX's size by 40%Now re-try your combat.
>>7388524141. show, or let people play it2. you need better vocabulary. fun doesn't describe what's actually wrong. it could be many things.imprecise hitboxes, bad animations, slow pacing, unreactable attacks, bosses too passive, bosses too aggressive etc etc. if you don't have that vocabulary it'd be hard to move forward.
What really sucks is Microsoft is a bunch of gay retards. I want to make a wrapper for Javascript/HTML in a package, mainly so I can cleanly export anything I fucking want to console. They stopped supporting this and you have to pay 500 dollars to get access to the once free code officially through visual studio. Very gay.
>>738852519>How guilty, if at all, do you feel for using AI when coding your game?Very. But I have a fucking waggie job to do and 0 fucking free time, so using AI as a faster & less obtuse StackOverflow is just too much of a gain to pass.Fuck spending 5hours on google to find some random formula like before.
Is making a game with SDL a viable strat for a shitter noob?
>>738852957It's doable.It's more work than Unreal/Unity/Godot and has no real upside however.If you already master SDL then why not, otherwise there is no reason for an actual "blank state" beginner to even consider that path.
Added in a working telescope in the observatory of Fortress Fygoon. With a day-night cycle, it only made sense that I include a telescope to look at the stars and maybe see some prophecies or something.Swimming is also pretty much done. Since I am going for a Dinosaur Planet style, Fygoon simply treads water and can enter and exit only by means of a sloped area.Implementing multiplayer is a bit difficult at the moment as I am temporarily away from the MacBook Air I have been using as a client system. At the moment, all that works is just the internal server timer (who knew multiplayer could be so difficult?) and everything else is just wrong.Oh yeah, I also got two new followers.
[ - ]
Here's a new tileset I made, not sure if I will use this for levels or just the ending right now. We'll have to see.Also a new boss monster design. It's been a pain trying to get this thing working so far because its big size breaks my collision code.
>>738853161I was using unity but it felt kinda jank and most of the things i want are pretty simple so I dont see the point of dealing with unity's mega gay overhead.
>>738853690How do you get filtered by Unity of all engines?
>>738846112Is there a game where prerendered backgrounds have movement that exceeds 3 frames? I want a hurricane or tornado as (prerendered) background. Now I realize that it seems like a contradiction. One way could be a still background and some global wind. I reckon there has to be a better solution.
>>738852590100% true>>738852519Ai is fine, fuck brainlets. Most ai usage is to find certain songs and to show me ways how to alter them without getting sued to death.Lawyers make heavy use of ai already >inb4 legal advice yadayada
>>738851446You don't need to know how to make video games in order to make video games, specially now with AI. That's the first thing you need to realize before you can enter game devving.
>>738853690>Unity's mega gay overheadWhat does the Profiler say is your current performance eater?'cause I'm using Unity for really unreasonable shit and if you have some actual overhead problem then it's probably semi-easy to remove it. *Way* easier than re-building all the shit you need in SDL.
>>738854242>*Way* easier than re-building all the shit you need in SDLI swear, all enginedevs I know love to say it's not that hard to make an engine and yet spend literal years working on theirs. They're all very smart and dedicated, mind you, but Christ.
>Open drawing program>Place image of famous actress I'd like to use as a reference on the bottom layer>Trace over it>Hide actress layer to see the four lines I've drawn so far>Delete image, do not save project
>>738854456> all enginedevs I know love to say it's not that hard to make an engine I've been an enginedev looong ago. They are right: it's not *hard* to make something that can run some form of game. It's however a fucking MOUNTAIN of work to even get a Temu version of all the basic-bitch features you will need for even a simple game.It's not hard, it's just excruciatingly slow.So... been there, done that. Wouldn't recommend, unless you actually get your kick from making the engine itself, and making a game with it is some tertiary objective.
>>738852519Not at all, there was no game before AI coding solved that issue for me. Funnily enough I've learned way more about coding in the process, as I actually want to know what the code does, how and interrogate the AI on each approach and why use X instead of Y. Turns out I'm much more engaged with it when it's my game and not some abstract tutorial.
>>738846112I've finished blocking out a level in Unreal, any pointers on how to make it look good now?
>>738854834That sounds about right. I would say it's only worth it if you need something specific you can't get in any of the mainstream engines. I can't imagine a game like Factorio would run well in GMS, Godot, Unity or Unreal Engine for example.Right now I'm actually a part of a team remaking this old indie game in a new engine, but that's because it's an interface based game with a focus on a procedurally generated world. That's the kind of game where you might as well create from scratch I imagine.
>>738853368did you play apogee games a lot? anyway great stuff
>>738855026Did you already play a bunch in it?'cause there is a fuckton of thing that generally need change after the initial blocking. Corridor too small, room too big, viewpoint not actually showing the cool setpiece when seen from character's height instead of the editor's floating camera, etc...Otherwise, start basic texturing (this is a wall, this is a floor, this is grass) and dropping random cosmetic props to get a first-pass feeling about it. Having actual color instead of full greay/yellow/whatever will help setting up the lighting, which is critical to get vaguely right before you can go into the more advanced pass of making it look good.
>>738854242Oh, I only mean in general. Ive played many unity games that have a distinct unity ass performance. Plus there is something to it that makes everything feel oddly floaty.>>738853842Nah, I want it more because it sounds more fun to build shit from the ground up. And like I said, my shit is pretty simple but most of the time spent was in the script, not the editor. I think its also a better idea in the long term to help me become a better coder.
>>738855497Thanks! And yeah I sure did.
wasted a couple of days trying to make trailer-music that incorporates ps1 startup synth, but it's just not it. so have some swirls
>>738853948Is it true that you can make 3d models look prerendered? Is it the lighting?
>>738852957If you're interested in getting into the nitty-gritty and doing lower level stuff, sure. I'm doing exactly that, and I'm really enjoying it. If you want to be a better programmer, I think it's a good path, but it's going to take you a lot longer. Especially if you don't have a lot of programming experience to begin with.If you just want to make a game and don't care as much about the details, just pick an engine.>>738853368Tileset looks neat, glad to see you're still making progress. What's the issue with the collisions? Did you just plan for 1x1 tile colliders initially or is it an issue to get it to path around?
>>738856210Thanks! Yeah, I never thought to test objects bigger than the standard tile size. Kinda kicking myself over that.
>>738846112Just finalized the idea last night (for real this time)
added teleport
>>738846112Made some shinies!Have also been working a lot on a less grimdark map
>>738856369Your weird.
>>738846112Can I just steal the entire character controllers?
>>738855760>that have a distinct unity ass performance>there is something to it that makes everything feel oddly floatyThat's more because of Unity lowering the entry ticket enough that people who have no business being allowed near a computer can make something.Unreal Engine 5 is currently facing the same kind of thing.>it sounds more fun to build shit from the ground up>I think its also a better idea in the long term to help me become a better coderWell, hope you will have fun then.Don't forget there is no shame in changing your mind if you see your current project isn't going anywhere.

>>738857419Wow. I wish I was half as imaginative with the map making as you are. My god, look at that. That looks really good, anon.
I'm pondering over the gameplay bridge between document reading and dialogue sections of my interrogation game, honestly it's hard to come up any better system than what Lucas Pope came up with for Obra Dinn. First of all I want to encourage player to have their own physical notes, those are my favorite games to play myself. Selecting keywords or dates from documents to have unlockable topics in the interrogation gets too close to LA Noire clue system which I disliked, it makes interrogation too gamey for me and can also encourage bruteforcing. Having to type out the correct answer in the interrogation would solve this, but a typo failing the test seems high risk.
still early, I'm going really slow with this npc behaviors set-up. I spent prob the last month just writing how will it work on pen+paper, so really just following my notebook like its instructions manual lmao.Looks jank as shit right now, since I dont have transition anims plugged in yet, same with IK rigged.I was spending a ton of time researching Untitle Goose Game, and realized their NPC models are 100% animated with IK. So, idk... I was hoping to get away with mixamo lol.today improving his scanning, already wrote a script generating a mesh instead of a cone, then writing more reactionary states. Its pretty fun to build this, lots of things like the NPC interactions are modular so its easy to build a bunchJust wanna get started on deciding how the aesthetic will look, what models to use, etc>>738857419really great style anon>>738857163nice, is the green turtle based on Master Roshi from dragon ball?

>>738853161>writing specific software in SDL has no advantage over bloated general purpose engines ran by corporate leecheswhy even make such a retarded statement, you nodev?
>>738856654No, I'm just an ESL bad at phrasing.I genuily hope it work for you, I've just seen a bunch of people give up on making games entirely after aiming too high for their first project, and that's kinda sad.
>>738857971>I'd play this but please let me play as a beaverLol, I have>beaver>skunk>tomcatplanned, for now its just the raccoon dude since its the only animal model I have that had animations already lol. trying to avoid the trap of focusing too much on visuals too early so I'm holding off from adding them just yet
>>738858191YESSSSS
notch coded an entire top-down action rpg in 48 hours for fun in 2011 and you faggots will STILL spend every thread coming up with a list of copes of why you need to use gaynigger engines instead
>>738856392He's a frog, man, sword fighter, gachapon and shield surfer? Crazy mix
>>738858060>entirely after aiming too highFeature creep. Finish design docs and don't be stupid. One pro code told me>if you don't know what you can code in 30 minutes, you'll never become a proHe's saying that you need 30 minutes blocks in your design docs or bigger blocks if an amateur. If you constantly misjudged these blocks, ask yourself why that is.
>>738858389yeah but Notch has a very small penis which is quite optimal for gamedev. My huge magnum donger keeps stealing blood from my brain, which really hinders my ability to develop games
>>738858421Yes, I may have overscoped a little>>738857605>>738857701>>738857918Thank you, anons!
>>738857687post your gamethat's right, you don't have one. you have an engine 2 years in the making (out of 4, 6 or 10, who knows)
>>738858389And how narrow in scope was the project, how much needed to be refactored if it was worked on properly?Anyone that knows any graphics library can put together a shitty top down game in a weekend if they wanted to. It wouldn't be a good project to continue on though because it'll be a mess.Spending 48 hours to make a shitty concept vs spending 4 in a game engine.I like writing my own shit but let's not be faggots about it. It's retarded and overkill.Unless you're making a game to rival Total War, Crusader Kings or Minecraft you're wasting time and by extension, money.
>>738857163I need it I need it I need it I need

>>738863734For what? Game dev? Make games that you can finish in two weeks, like jrpg with 1 dungeon or pong or tetris or maybe a mod or level for a game with a editor, bg3, war craft 3 aso>>738864060Old ones can be made in 3 days nowadays
I need a friend to make a game with...
This is the worst webm of all time, but i managed to get the placement effects looking a little better in bingo betty.I have a compilation of what every character's effect looks like here: https://files.catbox.moe/1jsdrs.mp4Added a bunch of sound effects for all the new shit, just been testing to make sure everything works, finishing up controller mode, etc.
>>738864060Celeste somewhat.>>738863149I didn't know no work showing crabs were in the game dev threads too.
>>738863734I started by watching brocode's video on c# and just writing 1:1 what he does in visual studio. Then I watched how to make flappybirds in unity by gamemaker's toolkit and doing the same. Then I just started random shit to see if I can do it. I also use AI to help but I use it more like search engine rather than telling it to write the code for me - "how can i", "whats the function for....". Start thinking of the most barebone shit to do first - how to make your character jump. How to make them look at the mouse, etc.
>>738856369kino
>>738864510> no work showing crabsIm quite literally just asking, nigger. Its not rethorical.
>>738847580Wasn't the interrogating game released already?
I got vinny vinesauce to play my prelude build on stream a couple days ago. He had a good time but got fucking softlocked before the 2nd bossfight>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F92_tpK0_mk>>738864412First I'm seeing this game. The incremental / number dopa gambling meta is tiresome but it does look high quality, anon. My side project is more or less one of these games so I can't hate too much>>738855826Nacho cheese biome?>>738846480 >>738857163Great as always anons
>>738864907Wow
>>738864005I don't really know at this point.I wanted to make a neat and simple effect which could (in theory) work on 6th gen consoles, and instead I made a sloppy spaghetti.
>>738864748Just ask an AI to do it or look it up. Why don't you know how to allocate your resources? ngmi
>>738864907>Nacho cheese biome?it's so unbelievably over
>>738865031Well it looks fucking excellent
>>738864094>To what (end) goal?For their masters' profit. Said masters might be long dead, and the machines are just going from whatever last valid order their archives can still read.>You mean they evolved into robots? Huh.No, I mean their creators wanted servants/companions/etc and perfected them so much they become indistinguishable both in capacity and behaviour, unless you start opening them or find the remote.
>>738865560Right, that's good. Machines don't care that creators are dead.What do you think of uploading consciousness into some machines?
>>738864907I saw this game on stream, it looked very fun. Good luck, Shrimp anon.>>738846480I like the pixel art and this looks fun, but where the fuck is her hitbox?
>>738864907He'll yeah brother I guess that makes 2 of us, I'm hoping he or any other streamers give it a shot soon, the version I have out now is so much better than when he played it.I will say yes I did go for dopaminemax gamblecore that was always the idea, but in my game those combos in that webm would take you like the whole run to achieve.
>>738865165Because I just had an idea and am asking around. Maybe I'm the idiot for thinking anons can give me any insight.
>>738865319Thanks a lot, Anon!
>>738847580really cool stuff
See, nobody boughted my game so I delistered it from the Steam. I don't know how to make games anymore.
>>738867308Never ever do that because all the "collector" slime come out of the woodwork and pretend they like your game now.
Not like it matters.
>>738865930For bullets, it's teh circle. I'll make an in-game tutorial for it.
>>738846112One of my biggest gripe with games is their ending. It's obvious that devs want a complete experience. Sometimes stories are better told via multiple entries. God forbid you hide an ending behind a pay wall for a dlc or rather expansion pack. The expectation of the consumer forces you to produce standalone games with completed storylines.
>>738867778Mongol!
>>738867937I don't know what that is
Destroy
your unused variables to make sure there is no memory leak.
>>738866469>ideas guyYou are fucking retarded anon if you need 4chan to help you understand how to make a basic platformer. God damn kids on Scratch can do it.
>>738868185Anon's game. I mixed it up.
>>738864907Hey nice man, you deserve it. Vinny just has that ability on games, he ran into some framerate problems when he played our game which was lomd pf annoying because I'm pretty sure it was Windows fuckery or some such.
Why do I have to deal with this
>>738866852When I said "How did you do it" I meant more how did you get the movement to look so smooth
>>738846112I gave up a long time ago.I'm just enjoying the games.It feels better.
>>738864907Always neat to see an Anon rise to semi-fame.>but got fucking softlockedRemind me of Freelancer-Anon having space monsters as one of his selling points, but not one of them spawning when he got reviewed by Yatzee.
>>738870148God
>>738866169Do you mind me asking how much traction it netted you?The spot hasn't netted me a whole lot yet, maybe like +300 WLs so farAtleast compared to the iron pineapple spot did like 8k+ since its release a couple months ago>>738865930>>738869740>>738870148Thank you anons. Hope I can make this place (and to a lesser extent agdg) proud
>>738867778reminds me of devil may cris ahah found you! anyway, looking forward to trying the next demo
>>738867308I didn't get to boughtered it yet...
Multiplayer officially reached a feature complete state. A bunch of stuff has to get tested still before the next patch (which will include NPC sync), but some new features include a more detailed error list when there's a mod mismatched, better timeouts for servers that aren't hosted. Also reached 50 total servers hosted on the beta branch, so that's neat.Also with this last bit I am officially feature complete for the game. Content will need to be reactivated and tested but my task list, which is almost a decade old, is now empty.
>>738867308Inspiration loss? I saw 80yr old Madonna performing and my inspiration returned gradually.
>>738864776You mean this one? One reason I'm making my own is that what detective games I've played the interrogations or the balance with overall game haven't been satisfying for one reason for another, that one included.
>>738871279Want to explain that server name?
>>738871279>my task list, which is almost a decade old, is now emptydamn train man, that's impressive. what are you gonna do now?
>>738872163Test the fuck out of everything and start getting voice acting implemented.
>>738872254Oh right, voice acting. That seems like a nightmare. Good luck.
I'm going to make a prototype for a mech game later Too many mech games don't make the mechs difficult/complicated to pilot, I think it would be fun to make something with weird controls and physics
>>738871513Interrogator 2, pretty sure it was on last DD
Wood root attack
Trying to make something like mario rpg with yoshi style visuals.
>>738872310Oh yeah it'll suck, even with everything else. Might still be able to get Wes Johnson in it at least.
>>738872552Not to shit on your sandwich but the lore reason why mechs wouldn't be hard to pilot is because you're playing as a competent pilot and or because the mech as software that assists movement.Similarly to how drone piloting is software assisted to hover, move forward while maintaining elevation and so on.I do think it could be fun but I don't know how you'd translate that well onto a keyboard. Having a bunch of levers, buttons and switches in VR could be fun but that limits it to VR.
>>738872621I see, completely missed this. That's on me for just searching interrogation games and not interrogator.
>>738872642I watched it 20 times.
>>738872552Robot alchemic drive is good.Piezophile is bad
>>738871137Bastard bitch i am not Mongol dev
>>738857918If you're the anon I think you are, did you drop your other game or what?
got distracted
>>738872642Try making the animation run faster to make it look like it would cause damage instead of nudging you out of the way
>>738853368Also went ahead and implemented all the additional tilesets in PVP mode, which is randomly selected. Most of them are the same lab tileset with different colors but it's still neat.Also added the last finishing touches to this mode, like being able to set how many rounds you want to play and the ability to actually win. Thank God this mode is finally done.
Are there any decent less bloated alternatives for Visual Studio and Rider for Unity? I know VSC used to be decent, but I heard they discontinued the plugins for it a few years ago.I don't need a bunch of fancy debugging features and shit like that, just some basic ass code completion.
>>738874953yea i can increase the speed. There is a control animation where you make the root swing like a whip too. >>738873232thanks
Worked on a scatter death effect
>>738866852Oh, I see.The player is really just a ball at all times (with different physics), and then I blend movement animations depending on speed, direction, turn rate, etc. And it also leans in the direction it is turning, multiplied by an acceleration factor.In short, many animations, which blend based on what the actual player sphere is doing.
>>738875694Meant for>>738869960
>>738875580If it were up to me i would make the branches explode forward like spikes that grow leaves towards the end of the animation but it's your game you know what you're doing, a bit faster will do to make it more dynamic
>>738875664why is he brown?
>>738875664head looks like different sizes so when he turns his back his head turns big.
>>738876258he said it's a scatter
>>738875664Giblets really need to live long enough to hit the ground/wall at least once.And take a line from Half-Life's book by having a 1/256 chance for the head bit to be thrown straight at the camera.
>>738869512Retard.
>>738870919I should just kill myself at this point if this is all I’m going to be. Just another lolcow
>>738877518Anything silly can become cool if you treat it seriously enough.
>>738877784Anon, listen.If I make more progress, that means I’m a sunk cost.If I abandon the project, it means I’m a project hopper.I literally am in a lose lose scenario
>>738878115have you tried making it good
>>738873632im the anon making shaders usually. but yeah my exploring LSD dream emulator style game is put on the side for now. i had a new idea for how the levels/areas will connect and that requires starting 2/3 of it over lol. so I'm making this raccoon game first since its pretty tiny in scope then going back to that lsd dream one
>>738878192Can’t
