I'm making /agdg/ Kingdom Hearts. I was always partial to the Looney Tunes' Hansel and Gretel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCwas_GPBxU

>>483514404what is your game, sourcedev?
>>483513953Making a game is one of only three possibilities of me getting rich and a beautiful gf....the odds are horrendous. I could get a gf without any of those but she probably won't be as pretty.I have to succeed at gamedev, I have to just like make fun game that girls like.
How do I into colors? All good games somehow just know how to make appealing colors. I don't get it. I may be an artlet, but I still have taste. I want you to be able to look at my game and be like, that's made by 1 guy?
>>483514056>kirby anchorsuper cute...
Yugioh down to the mechanics but with only waifu bait archetypes
>>483514712literally who can remember all the mechanics of a card game are they even written anywhere
>>483514404Why is this allowed?
>>483514404
>>483513958Hello, I was informed this is a place for game development talk per BiteMe games. How do you do fellow gamedevs? You'll be seeing me a lot around here.+7 participants to demodays idk what the count was prior to the video, lads is this the end of agdg?
>>483508249mormons are fucking retarded
>>483514829Maybe not some TCG, but yugioh is one of the most simple out there
>>483514404This looks like fucking shit. Absolute shit. Get the fuck off of AGDG immediately.
>>483515127honestly I'm looking forward to the inevitable banter with biteme newfags. Should be funny.
>>483514679https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w9UFCPd5Rgyou can get the gist from the description
>>483514679What game is this?
>>483515354Baten Kaitos. It's the HD Remaster.
>>483514404nigger hands made this

>>483514404no
>>483514404source-chad-posting is backfuck yes
>>483514404honestly I'd love to be this good at level making and I've never understood /agdg/s hate for this FACT
>istockphoto-183380336-612x612.jpg
>>483514404Now THIS is transcoded. How long have you been on HRT?
>>483514404wtf
>>483515287I read it, but I still don't really get it. How do I apply that to a whole game with many environments? Does this mean I should decide on my character outfits then use that to decide the environment colors? How does that work if you have many different kinds of outfits you can swap between for the character?
>>483514404get this retarded nigger shit OFF my thread NOW
my favorite source guy btwhttps://www.moddb.com/members/phone-booth/images/the-narrows1#imageboxeverything he's ever made is beautiful and he harnesses source to its limits

>>483514404jesus christ
what did I miss, I was gone for a week or so
>>483515856it's a fakei guarantee it
>>483515746so you know how darksouls all the clothing is dark and shit? no baby blue hats. you can chose colors that work by restricting your range. you can make that range by playing with colorwheel dynamics, complimentary, triadic etc.
>>483515856he never leftwho do you think has been eric posting these past months?
its not working
g-guys.....
>>483516060post code
>>483515048Yeah, that's a good point.It's not Minecraft blocks, but the terrain will be deformeable ( it is voxels ) so that'll be something I have to solve. Spontaneous placement of structures.

>>483516060Nolgorb's Ordeal.....I love Nolgorb. Such an iconic character.
>>483515746*also try this out. https://paletton.com
>>483516379How many enemies are you planning to fight at the same time? imo that's the ideal for 1v1 but against more than one seems a little short
Quick question, how many games get released every day?Let's say, just on Steam?
>>483516113wtf I don't want strangers playing my game.
>>483513958Now that the dust has settled, how many of you that were not going to participate in this demo day, are now intending to participate in this demo day because of Marnix? Be honest. Do you think he'll play any coom games?

>>483516636How many enemies do you fight at once in Daggerfall? 4?
>>483516972I don't know I should play it but I don't have the time>>483516932What?
>>483516636It might be shorter than Skyrim currently
>>483516920>"...btw">gets banned for trolling
>>483516060You just reminded me that I need to add this to my game. Thanks.
>>483517160for reference, skyrim's shield bash
>>483516929Try it without the clamping and lerping
>>483517370Do all games fake collision like this? I've been making it way too close then.
>>483517370and mudcrabs, horrible creatures!
>>483517356no problem sweetheart, just hope you're not planning on doing it in godot, because juan's vision does not include two extra arguments in look_at(), a delta and a clamp

>>483516379are you posting on Demo Day?hands on testing with a moving target would be nice. my gut reaction is that it's too short. first person melee is always iffy due to depth perception. and while it may be accurate, it may feel like shit to play
>>483517547Yes. Realistic != fun. Hitboxes should be extra forgiving in favor of the player.
https://steamcharts.com/app/1111930#Allcrabsisters you won....
another day lost to procrastination
Daily Deal went pretty well. Not exceptionally well, but I'm happy. The sale started at 10am yesterday, and went till 10am this morning. In all, it sold about 2,400 units at 35% off (about 10 bucks usd). It's at least enough to keep me going on the project and get it to 1.0.Most of what is left is balance and polish work. Probably some more content for fun, but mostly polish.
How many 'how to maek gam' videos do you think heroes of gamedev watched?"uh fucking none" is the correct answer. >hurr de durr gotta do muh gamdev reesarchcompletely delulu
>>483518809How I does can make game!!
>>483518745ezmoney
all of today's progress was just making the game pause when the application loses focus...
>>483518809That's why they're complete washouts now, moron. Gamedev research is always valid. The heroes of gamedev were just early entrees into the market. A bunch of hacks.
>>483518519to add to this, melee hitboxes tend to be more forgiving as well>pic relatedthe big red hitbox is used for melee attacks while the smaller ones attached to the body are for hitscan bullets
>>483518028anyone...?
>>483519046And yet who's making Roller Coaster Tycoon in assembly, and who's vomiting endless Gamemaker/Unity/Unreal trash
Show me Morrowind 2. By "Morrowind 2" I mean consider Morrowind modulo current year. Protip: You can't because it doesn't exist, because gamedev has a crisis of competency.
>>483516379Looks like you'll get misses with fps drops.
>>483519743>And yet who's making Roller Coaster Tycoon in assemblyIs that supposed to be special? Literally most old games used Assembly.
>>483519531Shit. I told you to use a BlendTree already. What's the point of using a StateMachine if you're going to teleport?
>>483520016Not my problem to be honest. I will not accommodate for low tier pcs.
>>483517547It's more important for first person games. Because you're looking at a 2d screen your brain thinks objects are closer in first person than they actually are in the game world. If you have weapon accurate collisions it's going to feel frustrating as the player as it will look to you like your hit connected but the game disagreed. You have to give the player extra range so that it feels right. Enemies should not get the extra range obviously because then it will feel like you avoided the hit but the enemy still hit you.It's less of an issue in third person and even less so in other sorts of camera angles.
>>483520310Retard
where the FUCK are the CRPGs
>>483520310Your unreal game will run like shit on top of the line PCs.
>>483518745>all this work to barely break even maybeThis hobby is grim....
>>483519165TF2 is an example of how not to do melee. 1 invisible bullet doesn't cut it
>>483518745Nice, buy yourself a gallon of milk and some cookies. You deserve it.
>>483520525ain't nobody in here who got the time or skills to make a crpg
>>483520525I’ll make a low quality one. You want that?
>>483518809>deluluYou type like my wife, get some testosterone lil bro
>>483520681I've made one but don't have it anymore.
>>483518809Don't get testosterone, become my wife
>>483520681weak>>483520805weak, and yes>>483520845I am literally your wife, where is your game retard
>>483520584Come on, I'm making a video game, and thousands of people are buying it and playing it. Enough where I can spend every day in comfort working on video games. That is absolutely incredible and my dream since I was a child. Getting rich is absolutely not the point, and only interesting to me because then I can spend more time making video games. The hobby is fun, if you let it be.>>483520654Roger that, my wife made some jam shortbread cookies I'm trying not to pig out on too much
>>483520859Hello tomodev
>>483520614melee attacking, yes. 1 bullet is stupidly inaccurate, tho for a precision melee class like Spy, it worksbut i was talking more about using larger hitboxes for melee hit detection on characters instead of relying on accurate model collision
Tomoko-chan...
>>483520991I wish I was tomodev but female
Is souls-like melee combat the best melee combat? I feel like there is 0 3D rpg's with better combat than souls unironically and I want to mimic the best for my game.
>>483520932>wifeI'm starting to notice a pattern with yesdevs...
>>483521912I don't think you've played many games
>>483518028Like the other anon said, use blend trees. I use a state machine, but it's primarily used for holding individual blend trees which represent major states(i.e. one for all animations on the field, one for all animations during battle). If you want to be able to move seamlessly from one animation to another via blend tree, just set up functions to be called at specific times during your animation. You'll want to set this up via code during func ready()(pic related). It's worth it because you'll want to do this to call particle effects or whatever else anyways.
>>483520168Blend trees would not let me cancel animations mid way. Say like I fall and hit the ground, triggering a landing animation. If mid animation I decide to move, my character would still be in that falling animation and I would kinda just slide around on the ground until the animation ended and blended back into walking. With state machines I would be able to now cancel and blend/transition into walking as soon as I started moving. And since I am making a 3D platformer (just for demo purposes), it is quite convenient and straightfoward.>What's the point of using a StateMachine if you're going to teleport?I kinda like how in games when you jump, its an instant switch to the jump animation. I will probably add a path to the jump animation later but for now, I will just teleport there.This is my old BlendTree. It is sloppy and I did not know what I was doing at the time and that is still somewhat the case now.>>483522279>I use a state machine, but it's primarily used for holding individual blend trees which represent major statesI am going to note this down for later because this is an approach I have not thought of before.
>>483518690I wish I had a wife who looked like this. I may want one with big boobs but Id be happy with this :(>>483518745How long until 1.0? Any plans yet for another game after or are you going to take it easy for a bit to let the mind wind down from gamedev for a while?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcTZh6dKB0gI made a second trailer for my free game Hellbirther today. Fixed some glitches too. The first trailer technically has like 2000 views now including the Facebook ad I bought a while ago. Random people are trying the game which is exciting for me.
>tfw ngmi for demo dayit hurts so fuckin much bros why do things have to take so much timewhy can't i just be motivated 100% of the time
>>483520525If I was talented at 3D Id make some sort of RPG game but idk all the types of RPGs there are so not sure which it'd be classified as. I'm looking at a potential 2D RPG in the future but idk if it will be my next game. Want to make it in an engine that can't screw me down the line but Godot feels too early in development.
How do I stop sounding like a robot when I post with my game? I talk noticeably different compared to when I'm anonymous.
>>483520681if you don't have ONLY "time" and "skills" then you are in the wrong place.
>>483523374>How can I cease the ceaseless drone of my words when I engage in discourse within this game of ours? My speech is as rigid as steel when I am cloaked in anonymity, lacking the fluidity and grace that I possess in person.run your post through chatgpt
made a staff. all that effort for a background prop the player will see from 50 feet away... that's just how gamedev be sometimes
Is using pixel art a mistake
>>483523703should've used AI textures
>>483522773>Blend trees would not let me cancel animations mid wayYes they will. But like I showed in >>483522279, you need to set it up via code. That picture simple shows me setting up a a 'Call Method' track in an animation, and then calling various functions at various points during the animation. So you can have a function called at the end of your jump animation that determines whether your character should do the landing animation, or roll forward animation, or whatever you want to do. This is something I recommend learning to do via code as it's very useful. You can set up 'Call Method' tracks manually in the animation player, but it's very easy to forget about them, and if you reimport your sprite/model, you'd have to reimplement all of your call method tracks. When you do it via code, you can just set it up once and be done with it, and be able to easily reference what you've set up.
>>483523087Same, and Marnix is gonna review our games as well. Real bummer. There is simply not enough time for me to get it demo ready. If there was at least 30 days I could've made it. 9 days is simply not enough time without cutting so many corners.
>>483523657Lel, what did that even mean? It sounds like the opposite of my problem. I'm saying I talk much better anonymously. When I speak with my game attached to my post it's like I'm avoiding saying certain things and adjust how I speak to a heavy degree.
>>483522773>Say like I fall and hit the ground, triggering a landing animation. If mid animation I decide to move, my character would still be in that falling animationDifferent games handle this in different ways. Some will just let the sliding happen. It looks a little jank, but players generally don't care. You can see this in pretty much any networked game or older game. e.g. WoW clonesSome will stop you from moving until the land animation plays out. There might even be a few different landing animations depending on how you land. These are mainly root motion controllers. e.g. Dark Souls or Witcher 3Some just make the jump/land animation extremely short and blend to walk almost immediately. e.g. SkyrimThe most modern way to try to handle it is with a procedural locomotion system. Unfortunately, Godot doesn't have any good off-the-shelf solutions for this, but I expect someone to come up one fairly soon, especially with addition of SkeletonModifier3D in 4.3, or you can try writing your own, or port one from another engine.In UE, the old way was with Advanced Locomotion System, and the newer way is with some pure-blueprint solutions based off the Lyra demo: https://github.com/dyanikoglu/ALS-Community Unity has some different decent looking systems in the asset store: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/advanced-locomotion-controller-climbing-system-234390
>>483524149>And what, pray tell, does that drivel signify? It appears to be the antithesis of my own predicament. I find that I am far more eloquent when my identity remains shrouded in secrecy. When forced to attach my name to my words, I am compelled to dance around uncomfortable truths and alter my speech to a significant extent.
>>483522993>the link for his game looks sketchanon, where do i even check it out? i couldnt find it on itch or steam
>>483523743yes, but not as much of a mistake as AI
This enemy might be too much
Between this message and getting 1 download on itch, I may find the energy to grind it out just 1 more day…
>>483524290Yamero!!! How do I speak like Kyubu Kyubu anon who makes literal jaks of his own character? Reeee why wont my speech flow normally when I attach my game!? It's like when I'm waging around people Im not friends with and my speech instantly becomes monotonous, that's what my manner of speech feels like when I attach my game. Yet anonymously I behave like we're frens and stuff.
Should I use Bevy for my online multiplayer pvp sandbox?

Any plans yet for another game after or are you going to take it easy for a bit to let the mind wind down from gamedev for a while?Hopefully 1.0 this year. 100% am going right into another game after this one, I'm really ready for another project. Not going to take it easy, outside of maybe a few days to Glenwood. I'm very excited for the next project.

>>483525747https://rodbotic.itch.io/alchemickali would wait until the next DD to play it if you're interested, the build on the itch page is crappy and outdated by over 6 months
Today I was feeling really defeated after encountering something really difficult in 3D modeling. I backed up, played a couple games with some friends, tried to accept I'd have to redo everything. Laid down to sleep and an idea struck me. I solved the problem immediately. Sometimes all you need is a little time away, and sometimes I am baffled by my own brilliance
>>483524763>>483525220Why did everyone using Unity go to Godot? Isn't there more potential in Bevy?
Bevy cultists are alright. Yall need a game though.
>> Project IdeaI played the MegaLoot demo during the NextFest and thought it was a really interesting idea, but a little underbaked. I was thinking about my own project that sort of built on the core foundation, while adding more interesting mechanics and ideas.> player is a newbie adventurer in a generic fantasy world > core gameplay loop is to find dungeons and kill monsters> primary fail state is death> primary win state is killing the primordial dungeon (the first dungeon) or killing all humanoid races> player moves around on a map (overworld) to find dungeons > dungeons are multi-floored areas where players use a Slay the Spire style map to move through each floor> each battle is much like MegaLoot -> Rows of enemies, turn based attack / defence / abilities> instead of character based abilities (MegaLoot), abilities come from items instead, eg. iron sword does 'slash', which is added to players ability options> Monsters don't drop gold, but flesh, body parts and items> players can collect flesh and body parts to make meals, eating monsters provides passive attributes and drawbacks, eg. eating monstrous crab increases armour, but decreases resistance to fire> eating monsters is a choice, players can also take supplies from towns to avoid the drawbacks and benefits of monsterfication> monster parts can be sold at towns for gold> towns provide training, skills and equipment for gold> if a player goes too deep down the monsterfication path, they can attack towns (which will act like dungeons)> items / equipment level up, but can also be melted down / combined at blacksmiths in townsI want to do a smaller scope project, something I can knock out in two or three months. Thoughts and feedback?
>>483526519Do it.
>>483519046No, they had better gamedev skills than the youtubers who make those videos to begin with.
>>483526519>I want to do a smaller scope project, something I can knock out in two or three monthsAnon whatever you posted is not that.
>>483526492Bevy doesn't even have a stable 1.0 release and it updates slower than Godot. Like the last time Bevy updated was in February of this year.
god I love this hobby
>>483495107At what point exactly did we go from being a community for 4channers (who have basic 4chan etiquette) that talk about game development, to just another generic game dev chatroom for complete tourists to come and shit up when they're having a bad day on game dev reddit because they can't say nigger there? Was there a particular year?
>>483527221DD50 was the last DD. Already told you that.
>>483526397It's just worse than Godot in every way. Not enough features. Not enough users. Not enough devs. Not enough support. Not enough of a community. Does it not even have a single game on Steam? https://steamdb.info/tech/
If an enemy hit you with a huge strong attack and send your player flying like a ragdoll is it better to have the camera follow the rag doll or to wait until the players ragdoll gets back up and is moveable?
>>483527612move smoothly, the camera needs to start moving as soon as it's sent flying and end moving at the same time it starts being moveable
>>483527612That just looks like you died

>>483523979The time is just a running timestamp, in milliseconds. It could be from the start of the shake, or the start of the program, or since 1970. The important thing is that it changes, not its value.The seed, seed+1, etc... is just to keep from giving all the random functions the same seed. Then they would produce the same values. Adding +1 or whatever is just a trick to modify a base seed. Because even a seed off by one will produce a completely different value.The ... in the function depends on your languages perlin noise function. Once you get up and running, he's not doing anything too complex so dont worry.>>483529526I've never really found a break to help. Usually, it just slows everything down and makes it harder and harder to get back at it. What I have found that helps, is having more sustainable patterns of development, and making it habitual. Sporadic heroic efforts are unstable. Regular, consistent habitual progress is stable.

This is why I use Apple. Sure, I've been through a lot of changes, and watched Apple expand and contract numerous times. I used to get Sneeds from "teh PC Master Race" about how I was holding onto a "dead baby," and I should let go and learn Windows. It got pretty infuriating.

>>483527846the point is you got hit so hard you were basically knocked out/down for a few seconds. >>483527757KK thank you. I made it now so the camera follows the player in ragdoll mode.
has steam introduced a feature to filter all games that contain AI generated assets from my recommend list yet?
>>483535784Yes there is a tag for it, luddite-kun.
Added fall damage and fall damage max instant death heights
>>483523979It's easy. At the begin of the shake state you've got the initial value for the seed, which is just a random number which you compute at the begin and store in a variable, the duration of the shake, its magnitude (shake variable) and current time. Let's say you want a light shake for 60 frames, so at the function start you set the shakeDuration to 60, currentFrame to 0 and seed to randint(0, 999999999). The value of shake should be dunno somewhere between 0.0 and 1.0 but on the lower end. Now you need to sample six scalar values from a perlin noise function. The perlin noise function returns a scalar value, the 'shade' of the pixel at (x, y[, z]) i.e. if it's a 2d perlin, you only have X and Y parameters to pass to it. In your case, you pass the seed plus a number from 0 to 5 as x for each shakeable parameter (yaw, pitch,... offsetZ) as the X function argument to the perlin noise function and the currentFrame as the Y parameter. This way, you actually sample neighboring values of a 2d perlin noise 'array' (or 3d, in which case you can just pick some static value for Z but that would be an overkill plus computationally expensive). Remember, we need a random list of numbers to adjust our camera's position and rotation in time, but also not too random (would be too jerky) like a simple list of random numbers; this 'algorithm' basically samples six neighboring vertical lines of shakeDuration length on a 2d perlin noise grid. You then apply successively to each of the camera parameters a value from aOneDimensionalPerlinStrip[yaw][0 to shakeDuration], aOneDimensionalPerlinStrip[pitch][0 to shakeDuration] etc. each frame during the camera shake state.You could also e.g. decay the shake by multiplying it with a number < 1.0 to lower the magnitude of the shake as the time passes. Or, say your MC gets hit before the camera had finished shaking, in which case you simply reset the shakeDuration and augment the shake magnitude by multiplying it with a number > 1.0.

The obsession with being healthy is disgusting. I’ve been thinking about how to reflect this in a game, but I haven’t quite figured it out. It’s obviously a ploy of status quo. It’s like playing a CRPG where you raise a skill and by the mid game, you realize you’ve been swindled. The skill was a waste of time and you can not get those points back. That’s not strong enough though. It has to be more. As if the idea of skills rather than choices and tactics was at fault. As if breaking free from the dumb rules of turn to turn combat and mana restriction to win.
Anyone else feel like your flow channel has shrunk to almost nothing where it is incredibly difficult to stay in that flow state?
>>483536303>t. eats cheese and ham rolls with butter inside and also with hot sauce god now I got hungry but I don't want to leave my chair what should I do
>>483536001There are products that claim to do that and, much like other AI products, they're functionally useless and keep flagging legitimate non-AI content, like Ted Kazinski's manifesto was apparently written by chatgpt.For all the hype all that AI seems to have actually accomplished is making useless people even more useless, and contamonating all future sources of training data with shitty older gen output, thereby stalling future development. The AI snake has already managed to choke on its own tail before it became a real threat. Proof that God is real, big L for abominable intelligence and the antichrist.
>>483536303Preach nigga. I grew up in Africa. I seen poverty that I suspect is out-of-bounds, for niggas on this forum. I can say that the most astonishing thing to me is the healthy attitude of the niggas who live under those circumstances. “Healthy” don't mean “happy.” You desperately wanna escape your circumstances, but you accept your challenges and do your best to live [a hard] life.

>>483536867Kinda the same. I often hop on blender when I feel like I absolutely gotta do something but can't get myself to do anything.

The usual invasive thoughts.
>>483536414I’m a bit “on the spectrum,” so I have what I call my “fugue state.” It’s a fairly “timeless,” focused, self-centered state, where “everything flows.” I get shit done when I enter this state, but many hours can go by, and it’s damn exhausting. I can't describe what I’m doing to save my life. In fact, the best way to break me out of this state is to ask me what I’m doing. This causes me to stutter, grope a bitch for words, mumble, etc. I can write detailed, articulate code and documentation explaining it, but I just can’t verbalize it. I sound like a fucking dumbass. Let's just say I don't do well with pair programming. I also get straight up pissed when I’m yanked from that state. Quite cranky. Lasts for approximately half an hour afterwards. Makes it hard to play well with others. When I come out of this state, I'm done. Beat. Totally exhausted. Not sore like I'm working out, but physically tired. I sleep well those nights.
>>483536958>I guess AI will cease to exist in two more weeks.AI never existed, you just saw the culmination of 10 years of machine learning advancements, we're super impressed by an LLM, and called it "AI" because that's what the marketing VC funding hype train told you to call it.Its not intelligent and it never will behttps://arxiv.org/abs/2404.04125
>>483527612i like the comedic tone of the camera not moving as you are sent flying, but for gameplay purposes it should follow the player and maybe add some camera zoom out depending on the velocity of the ragdollmaybe keep that static camera shot for deathblowshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dBpDWmOr34

>>483537294I'm not quite that bad socially but that sounds a lot like the hyper focus state I used to go into when I was younger. It was common for me to sit at my computer for 5-15 hours not really moving just focused on a thing. Very draining but got shit done.>>483537906I can't say if this is it. I guess having that positive interaction loop is nice but it doesn't necessarily prevent me from flipping into that anxiety mode. >>483538386Lol that's accurate.>>483538535Booze or weed don't help me work.

>>483541971>a game where you had friends as a child
>>483541882Yes you *can*.> "make a rectangular box there good enough"Because it's much worse predictable for the player than actually accurate weapon path colliders, AND much easier to balance for the game designer.Box are also cheap to compute, although that's slightly less of a concern nowadays.Every 10 years or so, some fighting game goes for "perfectly accurate hitbox" gimmick, and it's always a detriment that only serve to make the game feel jank without bringing any interesting gameplay.

>>483514056Went back to work on my tutorial, adding one-time images to the UI to illustrate points better and cutting down on unnecessary text.Unfortunately, I also encountered a game-breaking bug. Which luckily only manifests itself in the tutorial fights, and doesn't happen in the unaltered combat system.
Marnix lurking /agdg/ will be a life changing event to my life.
>>483544839You just wouldn’t get it. She’s attracted to me already. Why shouldn’t she be allowed a hobby? I can game dev and she can do her cosplaying.
>>483544839Imcorrect, I want her to dress like that in the privacy of our own home. Not a chance I want her doing that in public.Imagine the gamedev gains from having such a morale boost. Id be devving so hard to give us a better life.
>Do you think you had one of those life changing moments in your carrer where if that didn't happened you problably would not be here?>Yes, I guess it all started when Marnix from Biteme games started to check on us in /agdg/. That guy projected us directly to public knowledge, off couse I needed a good game for that. So it was a blend of luck and hard working at the right time. Hey, Marnix, love you ma man

In godot whats the simplest way to give more space to a is_on_wall()? Im trying to make a wall jump and the shit wont activate unless you have push your cock and balls into the wall as opposed to just being close to it
>>483545673Time to write your own character controller.
>>483545673make a slightly larger area and check against that instead of the character controller
>>483545673>is_on_wall()>Returns true if the body collided with a wall on the last call of move_and_slide(). Otherwise, returns false. The up_direction and floor_max_angle are used to determine whether a surface is "wall" or not.Just write your own check that uses a different bigger collider, or play around with safe margin to see if it can cover your needs.
>>483545295>I want my wife’s hobby to be dressing like a total slut for other men’s pleasure in public settingsYou will die alone
>>483517547No, there's games with realistic sword combat and people love them.

I need a name instead of Player. This script/object (not physical being in the scene) will hold some data for the player like maybe stats, items, etc. But I don't want t o use the word player because it's a bit similar to the Unity Player. It feels like a technical term. What else can you suggest? User? Profile?
>>483546450She isn’t a slut though. She might be cosplaying a slut, but that doesn’t make her a slut. Learn the difference. She’s pure. Doing activities for other people’s pleasure is normal. It’s the same as game development. Do you get jealous your husband works on a video game for others to play?

I have some basic RE4 like stand still and aim with your mouse cursor ranged weapons but tomorrow il start adding the souls melee combat. I still want this to be a survival horror with limited resources so il probably have melee weapons and shields break after frequent use to keep them as finite resources.

>>483548639Age of empires with 90s anime inspired factions
>>483549976My opinion is that breakable weapons is the worst way of implementing resource scarcity. If you have incrementally stronger weapons in the game, it just encourages players to never use them. Saving to the never appearing big boss opponent, like health potions. If the endgame sword is the same as the first level sword, than it is fine, but it loses a lot of progress potential.How important you want melee to be? It is the easiest to do the RE4 way, where melee is the worst option, only there if you are out of other ones, or if you are trying to conserve ammo, but then melee fighting is not that viable overall. The other option is like a monster hunter one; you have to treat weapons with a resource, if you want them to be useful against certain monsters. Like encasing your blade with silver if you want to do any damage to the werewolves.

AI allows me to code my game. I tell it the result I want, and it gives it to me.The only thing I need to do is to be sure I can manage the knowledge it gives.

>>483551032Like... A DBZ faction, a gundam faction, yugio, etc
>>483551034you ever play resident evil? If the sword was the best option and never broke then you'd just use it to kill everything and have 0 resource management.

>>483554835Thanks, that looks exactly the type of thing I was looking for.
>>483554970Women can smell your fear
>>483554745Don't overcomplicate things. Have the typical gameplay shown in the first 3 seconds (ideally quicker, ideally 0.5 seconds) and after that 1-3 second cuts depending on how pretty your game is.I don't think trailers are that important. I know 100% that they're completely irrelevant for mobile, at least they were for 3 of my mobile games, both Android and iOS.Capsule art isn't that important either. Your screenshots matter the most, but not in the sense that you need to make a lot of effort with the screenshots but that how your game looks is what matters the most.
>>483555197Weirdly enough I'm only shitting myself (literally, like 3-4 times the day of) before the date. Once I'm there I usually have a good time.That's why it's good advice to do whatever you dread as soon as possible and with as little forethought as possible.
Have really only been tinkering with some of the sprites recently. As the demo day is getting closer I am mainly working on fixing a few bugs and working on some of the presentation.Today I did mange to add a character select onto the main menu for when you want to play against a certain character.I am currently working on a new game icon for the itch and will take some fresh screenshots for the page.

>>483556065Sir this is the amateur gamedev general
>>483556175I don't mean you can just have any capsule art, but that it's pretty hard to fuck up and pretty easy to max out so it won't be your game's bottleneck.Ie don't hire someone new to make your capsule art and don't spend too much time on it.

>>483556757Just goes to show that>Capsule art isn't that importantWhoever made the art for the game should make the capsule art. And unless visits/impressions rate is lower than average (Steam will tell you that), then capsule art is fine.

crumble should have submitted the paper sky trailer to /v/3 and btfo everyone
>>483555916I take notes. 1- 1.5 minute trailer sounds enough to show everything I've got. But I was thinking more about how to pace it. It's rpgslop so it needs to have story, battles and other typical elements + what makes it unique and it needs to use the music hype those up.

>>483555351Capsule Art is the new Cover Art for digital content. The colors, font, and imagery is directly impacting "will I watch, or skip it forever unless it pops up again and again in my lists because it's popular".Don't judge a cover by its book, but we're in VIDEO games.

>>483558274Do you have any data proving that?I mean it sounds logical that it should matter, but now one's shown any data that I could find.The reason I'm skeptical is that mobile stores let you A/B test everything including icons, trailers, descriptions, screenshots and in my experience I couldn't get any result that mattered more than like ~5%, often very low and within margin of error. I understand it's a different market but unless anyone can show data or Steam lets developers do A/B experiments, I'll remain skeptical.

Any of you tried to make a blockbreaker/breakout clone?

It's either the limitations of the core gameplay or the restriction in movement.

What did he mean by this
>>483556445Those games are getting their marketing from other places, a capsule is the equivalent of a YouTube video thumbnail it should be good enough to make a rando click
>>483560435he was around all the way back then? That's crazy
I wonder if I should make everything have reflections or just keep it at players and npcs
>>483559165My data is it came up to me into a dream.People in a store want something, even if it's passing time inside because outside is too hot.They see things if it's digital, or they hear something second (no mainstream digital store uses a sound to sell before showing something).Then the potential purchase is based on visuals. And what can they see? A capsule art, a cover art, a picture, and letters that forms the name of the game. Maybe then a description, types, genres...And even if there's sound, in those realms it's always secondary because they're tied to visuals. Not like in a real location where 12 speakers will play different sounds, and 1 can catch your ears.You can use data to refine stuff, like what makes a GREAT capsule art. But remove the capsule art, what stays? A latin word.

>>483560983Yes, do you have anything to back up the claims you're making? It's not a question of whether people will click on better capsule art but what is it that makes it better and how much is the difference and how can you measure it and has anyone actually measured it?Your aversion to hard data is very feminine. Is it the side effect of HRT?

bros you're not gonna believe this. I just figured out the PERFECT capsule art
if you're girlfriendless/virgin/incel and can't find motivation to work on your game, I want you to know it's not your fault. of course you have no motivation if your basic desires are not satisfied. gamedev is such a long shot to begin with.as a group, the well adjusted will self organize to deny you everything they can and keep you down and out. even your "friends" are your competitors and will instinctually sabotage you without a second thought. they're probably the reason you're where you are to begin with. they kept you at the bottom of the social hierarchy so what could you do?it's not your fault. it's your responsibility to claw your way out of your situation but it's not your fault you got there.

>>483553058Anons! I overcame my anxiety. (for today at least) Made the phone call. Usually a girls picks up the phone. This time it was a guy. He was polite. I was ready to get into an argument etc. He said the tax officer that will take care of my papers is on leave. She'd come back next week. I told him well it's been a long time I was worried if something is wrong (an indirect and polite way of saying what's taking you so long assholes!) Anyways the phonce call ended on a positive note. I really wish I could get my tax return because I'm living month to month right now. So I will have to take some loan for the rent next week. It would cover 90percent of my rent. Fucking tax officers, they had a holiday just last week!Sorry for maybe being off topic. I don't have anyone else to talk to. Maybe this can be useful for some of you. I google a bit for phone anxiety then I searched what jordan peterson has to say. Here is the link. Long story short, don't think of the thing you're facing as an agression and you have to be defensive. Instead think of it as a challenge/adventure that you will gain something and improve. Reminded me of the saying "amor fati", love your faith. I have to make the phone call, it has to be done so why not just enjoy it and pretend it's something you'd want and will have positive outcome.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb9g9mtDHZo

>>483561810I shit on AI a lot. but mainly the art. if you are using AI to generate models from art you made or payed for, it's a different story. this new hyperhuman thing is actually good for a base to work off, especially if your characters are not viewed up close. in a couple of years I expect to be able to put my art in an receive high quality production ready assets. problem is so will everyone else...
>>483562080But the game itself is fucking trash. How did it get so many shills ? Same with that platformer, Andy Laylay, kill the princess etc all these games
>>483521996What is the idiot in this video doing??? Use the high stance and then forwards + strong attack and follow up with a normal combo. It has massive range, comes out quickly, deals tons of stamina damage and is just a great way to quickly kill enemies.
>>483561719wow that looks good thanks man I'll try it! Also the water/reflections are in a couple of levels so far but just in small areas like with some puddles. You're right maybe only important items along with the npcs/player and enemies will have reflections then

>>483563321Why?
Designing an alchemy system at the moment. At first I thought that I can make it engaging just by having a bunch of ingredients with loads of hidden effects, the player would have to process the ingredients differently to get different effects out, and learn which ingredients have which effects by trial and error. Now I'm having doubts, should I have some more depth to it? Micromanaging shit like temperature while brewing does not feel appealing to me, any ideas what I should add to make it have a bit more depth?

>>483561592So are you telling me I'm successful because I'm asexual and have no needs?
>>483563502I think any amount of complexity in the form of different variables like temperature is fine, so long as you don't make it tedious if players need to do it a lot. Probably the more important thing is to be able to record discovered effects and show an estimated output based on that so players aren't constantly wasting rare ingredients. Or not if you don't want to hand hold and make external notes an implied part of the game loop (like noita I guess)

>>483566030It's hard to answer the initial question without the whole game at vision.Like the other anon said, the tools and mechanics used to reveal effects need to be fun.And depending on how much the profession results (items) will be used, balance it so it's always engaging. And plan for what happens when the player knows all the effects.Don't add a mechanic that would be too repetitive for a 1st playthrough, and try to avoid one that would also be repetitive for possible other playthroughs.

>>483567330have fun with it.
had a dream that someone made a movie adaptation of my game and it was totally different from the game itself.
>>483568128How did you felt in the dream?
For my mobile game I'm considering ingame Competitions/Challenges/Missions where the player has to pay or buy ticket for with ingame money. If they win, they will earn more than they invested. What do you guys think? If they run out of money they can attend the easier competitions, and the very easiest one will be free. So let's say if you win the easiest one once or twice you will now have enough money to attend the second level difficulty competition. Or they can watch an ad to earn money or purchase coins directly. This makes it a challenge for the competitive players but one part of me is saying if you make it free, players would play more of the game. Would such restriction/challenge architecture benefit my game?
>>483568234i was impressed by the production quality, but i was also upset because apart from some character names, literally everything was different.
QWOP of the colossus
>>483562447you don't win the lottery by playing once, nodev

How would you add melee enemy types in a block breaker game? Is it actually possible? It would look silly if were able to move next to the player but also there would be no means for the player to hit them with the ball given the limitations.A cheap way would be to just give the melee enemies shorter but wider projectile attacks but at that point theyre just another variation of a ranged enemy.
>>483568445Well if one day you're successful, don't forget that feeling, and see if it's worth having it, or if it's avoidable.
>>483567039Ok, I will add a run button.

>>483561792Make of it what you will - earlier I was looking at the stuff shown on itch.io main page (which I do very rarely), and of the couple games it showed me, Anthology of the Killer was the one I clicked. Couldn’t really understand what it’s about, just looked at the screenshots, even saved one just so I could find this (apparently obscure) game again in the future, since it looked somehow interesting.What I make of this is, somehow the game has appeal.
>>483567885When I played Gothic 2, which has alchemy system, I chugged the most important, rare and finite ingredient raw to heal, without knowing it's needed for the best elixirs. I know it's my fault, but maybe make sure this kind of retardation doesn't happen.

>>483563502I am an alchemy pro, let me tell you how I did it.My games alchemy system is at it's core simple. If you do not care about it much, you can quickly make lots of items and not think about it.If you want to get the most out of it, then you have to play around a bit and experiment, but it's still not overly complex. There is no universal solution for the best anything though, and a few traps that you could run into that means you need to put a little thought into things. There can be multiple ways of making the same item but generally there is no best way of making that item.Additionally, the system doesn't allow for complete failures. Everything you attempt to do will produce something. If you mess up it will simply be an inferior quality item.Honestly, you simply need to balance need vs investment from the player. If alchemy is important and the player will be creating hundreds or even thousands of items, then the process should not be overly complicated and time consuming.But if the player wont be making tons of items, then go ahead and add a lot of depth and allow players to experiment as much as is possible.
>>483569905I said I know it was my fault, and it did say something on the ingredient's description about it being valuable. I'm all for no handholding, difficult games where you have to think, but some frustrations can be reduced.
>>483570384Sure, in 8 days!!
>>483570562Chill.
>>483568903It's some sort of a ball shooting game. But in each competition rule set will be different and there will be additional obstacles to make it harder etc.
>>483570573> If alchemy is important and the player will be creating hundreds or even thousands of items, then the process should not be overly complicated and time consuming.Well put, I will definitely keep that in mind. I guess you can't have both, highly complex brewing and a lot of experimentation, else it will become a chore
>>483570830Now I still don’t know if it’s players against each other
>>483570946dedicated server online multiplayer functionality
>>483570905You could make it so discovering a new item to craft is an involved process. But repeating the process is quicker and more simplified.
>>483568428You can look at MtG online versions for reference - they do have this style of tournament. Except they don’t even have a free tier.
>>483569903Looks interesting, thanks
>>483566197I will now perpetually ask you for this every time you submit your game to Demo Day
i love this hobby, but this hobby doesn't love me....
What's the lore behind Potion Blast?
>>483570830But if it’s always against other players, it will be harder for everyone, so it will be the same difficulty to win. Idk why I would want to play higher tiers neccessarily
No, I will not add dumb pitfalls for the player in my game for gimmick purposes. If something has negative consequences it will result from conscious choices by player, with tradeoffs to make it an interesting decision.

:: Project Nortubel ::progress :: Trying to summon a portal.
what's the godot approach to incremental patches?
>>483569565>I know it's my faultNot really, it's just a thing that can happen. like selling some weapon you didn't like without knowing you can't rebuy it or that it's the best in the game.It allowed replaying the game to get a more perfect run. It can be discussed whether it's bad design but I don't think it necessarily is. king sorel's are hidden anyways so you're unlikely to get everything without a tutorial. there are also strats for using shrines/stat raising elixirs at specific stat tiers to maximize gains. It's a very minmax-able game(that doesn't become unbeat-able if you don't).
>>483571381It's not against others. It's single player. You will earn more money from harder missions/challenges. So far my plan is the player would spend that ingame money to attend higher difficulty challenges or buy/paint their cosmetics.
>>483571759It doesn’t necessarily have to be an engine feature. Itch makes binary patches for you automatically if you use Butler. Steam has similar functionality. It’s just up to the engine to play well with those generic algos.

In fact, the worst thing you could possibly use AI for is concept art because it only knows how to make bland ass shit. I'm sick of it and I'd certainly never trust someone who can't even make their own placeholders if I wanted to invest in them, it shows laziness and a lack of a vision for the game.You might not realize it but losing that creative freedom, even in the placeholder stage, may hold back your creativity. When you cut corners and spend less time on your project you'll always lose something.I'd forgive it if it were an AAA studio because they're about as creative as a conglomerate of committee-voted design decisions can ever be.
>>483574542There's no inheritance in that situation though? I said parent - child , not parent class and child class. ActionMenuItem is in a List held by ActionMenu, which is held by UnitPortrait, which is held by the general UI ViewScene. There's no "inheritance" involved, all of them are completely different data structures, they're just arranged in a top to bottom hierarchy.
>>483575135>I'd certainly never trust someone who can't even make their own placeholdersThat's because you're a nodev who can afford to be a naive idealist since you have no deadlines or responsibilities, before AI we game artists used photobashing, matte painting and other techniques for placeholders and pre-production that were essentially just AI before AI. Just say that AI is against your religion (whichever political party you worship) and move on.

>>483575158yeah, my bad G.
>>483576107>he's still trying to make AI some sort of religious issuehow can you not understand that having shit shoved down your throat 24/7 would make you hate it?If you need to go to such extreme extents because your assets take just so long to make, you're probably not going to make it as an indiedev. You can't finish a game with a good length of playtime if you need everything to be as detailed as an AI placeholder is, if you then intend to replace every placeholder with similarly detailed art. If you've been working for a while then you must feel it. The most successful indie devs aren't the ones who pile on detail for the most generic ideas possible, the successful ones have simple styles that let them finish games.I wish I were a nodev who could hear my own advice now and tone down my own level of detail, I've lost so much to it. No AI-generated white knight in shining armor is coming to save me either. I've just got to improve for the next game.
>>483558014>>483558014Ah a fellow RPGbro. I think you should open with some combat preferably showing off what makes yours a bit different. Savvy players will know that this is what they will spend most time with. Then just some setting tidbits to get insight into the starting setup, and where things might go. Switching between that and the action.As for music, personally I have turned it into a hobby to listen to royaltyfree tracks on youtube.
Does Godot have the same problem as Unity where changing a class name reverts all your serialized values? It's extremely annoying
>>483579448godot has a lot of shit things like that
>>483573813No it doesn't the point of 4chan is so the identity of posters doesn't matter and the posts are judged solely by their content. If you want to go guessing the identity of posts might as well use Reddit so you can just look at the usernames/profiles.>4chan's gift of anonymity offers us something not often found on today's Web—the opportunity to speak our mind and share ideas and be judged for the content of what we write rather than who we are. -mootSource: https://www.4chan.org/4channews.php?all#114
>>483579904>No it doesn't the point of 4chan is so the identity of posters doesn't matterThe REAL LIFE identity of the poster doesn't matter. What you post matters. >and the posts are judged solely by their contentAnd we are doing exactly that. The content of their posts is awful and we want them to learn how to post better here. Rule #1 and #2 motherfucker.Also do you realize for even a single second how completely worthless and inane your point is, when we are discussing posting your game with your identity associated with it in the thread? There's no fucking anonimity involved in this. Your argument has absolutely zero ground to stand on, it completely crumbles on itself, you are being contrarian for the sake of it without actually thinking your post through.
>>483585956>The REAL LIFE identity of the poster doesn't matter. What you post matters. That's exactly what I said tho. How are you saying my point crumbles while agreeing with it on the same post?
>>483588052>How are you saying my point crumbles while agreeing with it on the same post?Because people are no longer anonymous the moment they post a released game in this thread, tied to a company, tied to their real name? People will always know who Bokube is when he posts a progress video. Your point was muh gift of anonimity and it falls apart.
>>483591078NtaYes you are. Look i am an inner circle dev and you have no idea which one i am because i have not attached a frog imageI am free to shit on your bad opinion without worrying about how it would make me look in front of your fans, my fans, or random social media users.My reputation doesn’t pollute the message at all. You have no reason to trust me as an anonymous poster so i have to back up my beliefs in text in this reply in order for you to believe me
>>483592349> Look i am an inner circle dev I can tell from how fucking retarded you are. Read the post chain. We were talking specifically about someone who posted his finished game directly in the thread. Saying the identity of his post doesn't matter because he's anonymous is absolutely moronic you goddamn cretin. Shut the fuck up next time and stay in your lane.
>>483592698How do you even know that was the actual developer?it sounds like an anon just posted it as shitposting
>>483592992I said as much in my initial post. The first post was talking about people's reaction to him initially before it was found out the reddit post was copy-pasted. But that's irrelevant now because the argument switched to whether the "identity" of someone posting his finished game matters or not, and the original extra chromosome retard I was arguing with tried to use the "anonymous" claim even though someone shilling his finished game is exactly the opposite of that.
>>483592698fuck off crumble
