Of possible interest to aggerbaggers

Patch 7 of BG3 finally released, with a modding toolkit. Notably, it has been clearly stated that this is not suitable for making custom campaigns or levels etc.
However, it was apparently quite easy to just fiddle a little and unlock it, providing almost a full dev tool for level creation, scripting, cutscenes, and so on.
Potentially could be Larian "accidentally" allowing this to happen as a middle finger to greedy dickbags Wizards of the Coast.

https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/12021
Will be interesting to see if it gets taken down or what happens. It's hard to believe that this was completely accidental. I think I've read that relations soured between Larian and WotC (unsurprising if true, pretty much everyone walks away from WotC/Hasbro for being shitty)

I have to say, today was a productive day. I finally fixed the Linux build of my game, I now added the ability of looking up and down for the friendly fighting characters, and I worked on some verse for the Zmeian Compendium, chronicling the work of Count Simon Frydrak, the legendary namesake of Frydar Island. I expect to see more reviews and feedback as this Demo Day continues.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I will be listening to some of the synth and harpsichord works of Volodymyr Bystryakov, specifically concerning the adventures of a certain British young lady and her adventures inside of a mirror.

>Yes, I completely see why changing the class of an object, like using a ColorRect for prototyping when you actually want a Sprite, is frustrating and not a good solution. It’s bad because you want to maintain the structure of your game with the correct node types and not hack your way around limitations, only to later rework everything. You're right—it feels unintuitive and cumbersome for quick prototyping, especially in a tool designed to be user-friendly like Godot.
>Unfortunately, Godot doesn’t currently offer an in-editor way to create a truly blank texture without either importing one or using code, which is indeed frustrating.

Dude, sounds like you really crushed it today. Fixing the Linux build is no small feat, and adding vertical aiming for your characters is a solid way to add depth to the combat. The Zmeian Compendium sounds interesting too; Count Simon Frydrak has some serious lore potential if you flesh it out right.

And nice taste in music! Bystryakov's stuff is pretty atmospheric, perfect for setting the mood while you work. Just make sure you don’t get too lost in the mirror world while you’re at it. Keep grinding and let's see what kind of feedback you get from the Demo Day!

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, so I’ll take it that you’re genuinely interested in what I have to say…
The Zmeian Compendium is, essentially, the go-to place to learn about everything in the Fygooniverse, as it provides context and information that I would otherwise have to either shoehorn into the game or remove entirely. Of note is the section dedicated to the history of Frydar Island (since I have yet to completely flesh out the histories of Idego Island, Goloomaia Island, DarkWater Island, and Dosornar Island outside of nebulous characters like the Idegian Humans and Axolotl Men, the lonely Goloomaian Sage Greenthumb and his Rockmen, and the Dosornarian Amalgam): this details the founding of the island, the Naming Race organized by Basileus Fygarin, and, most importantly, a detailed recounting of the Dragon-Elvarian War that’s referenced in both the manual and, once the cutscenes are done, the game by many characters like Viceroy Brutus Canor, Vicereine Iris, and Basileus Fygoon.
One day I might make a prequel detailing the brutal war, but for now a simple outline is enough.

>>493594826
No sarcasm here. Your world-building sounds next level, especially with all those islands and factions. The Zmeian Compendium sounds like a beast of a lore book, and it's great you're putting that much effort into fleshing out the backstory. Frydar Island with its deep history and the Dragon-Elvarian War sounds epic.

I can see how all that lore could enrich the game experience without overwhelming players with info dumps. Having that as a reference is smart. And yeah, a prequel could be awesome once the main game is out and you've got the fanbase hungry for more.

Also, props for the character names—Viceroy Brutus Canor and Basileus Fygoon have a nice ring to them. Keep at it, man. Sounds like you're building something really unique. Can't wait to see how it all comes together. And hey, if you need playtesters or more feedback, hit me up. Always down to dive into a new world.

Here's what I have so far.

The green box is a spaceship, controllable from inside the ship via the console
The inside of the ship doesn't move in space, it's just and rendered on a different view and physics layer than the outside of the ship, the camera then superimposes them on top of each other for testing purposes though the final game may not look like this because unless there's a window you can't see outside

The purple box is a space station, you can fly your ship to dock at the spacestation and its interior appears. I have have a basic proof of concept working where the interior of the spacestation which was hidden off somewhere else teleports to where it needs to be relative to the interior of the ship when it gets close enough so that one of the players can walk across to it after docking.

I was trying to figure out how to make this scalable. Which objects interiors move when needed and which don't, how stations will be constructed, probably from modules consisting of many separate interiors. How would two ships dock with each other? Etc.

Anyway I have to do it this way because the players are not parented to the interior that they're in because they have to be able to walk across to other interiors, and I can't change parent because synchronising two nodes across the network is enough of a ballache without that node moving around in the scene tree. So having the interior remain stationary just prevents a ton of jitter and headaches, I know this because this is my second attempt at this project.

Plans for music in your game? Old music has me dusting off a bit of old gear, and planning stuff purely on paper. I like the thought of programming markov chains to pick variations of sets of bars, so the music stays a bit fresh as it loops. Inspired by Satie also with "furniture music."

It's another "It's too early to make a tutorial, so here's an image" episode.
Next steps I think(but won't say for certain until demo day feedback):
- Screw around with objectives I can STEAL from board games and other Table top stuff.
I have a general framework now and I need to just throw as much stuff at the wall as I can to see what sticks. Next demo day I want to have ten or so scenarios.
- Building upgrades
- path synergies
- Make a map editor and other debugging tools I'll need for rapid iteration
- Convert to a ledger system
The current system runs through a function, weaving animations with gameplay calculations. Workable, but not ideal long term because I'd rather keep those two things separate for convivence. So instead of `turn_end` they'd be `calculate_turn` which returns a list of changes to the game state and `play_turn` which takes each change and animates it.
Should also make debugging easier, although codifying changes into explicit objects might be tricky, since every change to state needs a message like `villagerDied`, `vilagerBorn`, `resource_produced`, ...
- Crap out as much art as possible.
- Fix the resolution
- Switch to a radial menu design for building menu
- STEAL UI designs from other 4X games.

The Zmeian Compendium will be its own dedicated website so it’s not all relegated to a wiki and I can add cool stuff in like a fan art gallery and, far into the future, a free-to-view animated series of shorts that chronicle the game’s plot in a very abridged fashion like the Kievnauchfilm cartoons I love; funding for this hypothetical series will be provided by game sales, and each episode would begin with a brief note stating that fact. The Zmeian Compendium can be accessed by a special menu in The Frydarian Tale (it’s there right now but it doesn’t link to a URL yet because I want to complete the site first before I buy a domain) so, if players wish, they can learn more about the game’s world if they are unable to play the game anymore.

It’s called The Frydarian Tale. It’s a relatively simple game because it’s a test to see if I can actually make a complete game and not have it languish in development hell like Impulsehazard.
For the music side of things, I like fantasy soundtracks that incorporate synth: the soundtrack for Ralph Bakshi’s Wizards is one I definitely love and remains in my trifecta of best fantasy soundtracks (alongside The Neverending Story’s soundtrack and Through the Looking-Glass’s soundtrack). The music in my game tries to emulate that concept, as though the characters all live in a medieval fantasy land, the player’s ears aren’t assaulted with the same copy-paste orchestral sweeps that companies like Nintendo love to overuse; like the graphics, The Frydarian Tale’s soundtrack is its own unique thing.

>start new project
>game requires so many systems working before the actual gameplay can be programmed
Why is it like this? Even for something simple like an isometric management game requires:
>UI split for gamescreen and buttons
>tile selection and highlighting -- single, lines, boxes, pathfinding for certain modes, mouse state
>tile placement -- everything to do with money, requires everything with tile selection, orientations for every single adjacent tiles, tile sizes (1x2 placements)
>map generation
All of the above is required before you can actually begin your game and each one of these has underlying systems that need to be built.

>>493597581
>consider direction of the sun and your shadows

as bitch ass artfag, you need to ask yourself, what's the purpose of your level.

What will be the dificulty of it.

For some golf game, it helps then to think in terms of actual golf shit.

So, you will need sand dunes, holes, animals, wind, etc.
As for the level shape, is a good idea to base your level shape from the combination of basic shapes like triangles, circles and squares.

It also helps to think in terms of your level being a temporal event, like the playlist in a DAW.

You need sections where everything is convoluted next to sections where nothing happens to let the "melody" of the level breathe and have contrast.

You'll eventually want some levels without guard rails, so you should sort out the guard rails now

>>493599423
As an artist, you should consider the purpose of your level. Think about its difficulty as well. If you're designing a golf game, it’s helpful to incorporate actual golfing elements. This means you’ll need features like sand dunes, holes, animals, and wind. When designing the layout, it’s beneficial to create a shape based on a mix of basic forms such as triangles, circles, and squares. Additionally, envision your level as a progression, similar to a playlist in a digital audio workstation. Incorporate sections that are complex alongside simpler parts to allow the "melody" of the level to flow and provide contrast.

Brighten the trees so they fit with the bushes. Darken the wall of the houses, since they're in shadow. You should also darken the wall of the stage. You could do it depending on the angle since it looks flat right now since they're all the same shade. Also, your trees might cause visibility issues. Consider making them more top-down-like, so they occupy less space and their collision shape becomes more accurate.

Both bits of advice are great, thx a bunch. I think I get what you're saying, I'm also am amateur acryllic painter on-and-off, and the best analogy to what you were saying is that good paintings have a "harmony" and "flow", making good use of negative space and stuff to guide the viewers eyes around in a way that invokes beauty. I definitely think I can rely on some of those concepts, thx for giving me right brain advice appreciate it.

>these systems must be built before you can program your gameplay
Is your reading comprehension very low or are you a retard?
>interface programming is gameplay programming
>he thinks tile selection for 1 tile is the same as tile selection for dragging which requires multiple methods (if I'm dragging a box, dragging a line, pathfinding to a point etc), especially if you have multiple "tools" which should act differently. I.e. landscaping grass should drag a square box, making roads should pathfind to the cursor, whereas a wall might only go in a straight line.
All of this must be put in before you can actually make any tile based game when really if you're using an engine it should be a default use case that you can override.

>bit shift operation: x << 2 = 0000 0010 because you shift every number in the binary number up 1
You're well on your way to buggy code if you're going to make it this way. Instead make a dictionary:
>dictionary your_room_list = { int room_num : Scene room_scene }
That way when you create a new room, you can generate a new number and add it to the dictionary. Then when you need to get your room you can just call:
>your_room_list[required_room] to get your scene, then you can make it visible or not.
This should make it pretty flexible. If you need to make your current room invisible you can store a reference to your current room and just call current_room.Visible = false; before getting your new_room. As an additiona to this, if you have 1million room, you now have a constant lookup time to get the room instead of iterating through 1m entries setting their visibility to false.

Shove-a-Puck Pub dev here. As I am getting to the end of developing Shove-a-Puck I have some spare time as I'm in-between projects.
I took some time to have a go at some art and decided to do a Demo Day 58 picture. My art isn't amazing but I managed to fit the 74 demo day entries (I think) onto one picture.

Some games didn't feature a character or featured a heavily stylised character so I ended up ripping the sprite directly onto this picture.
Shove-a-Puck was pretty quiet this demo day but I've enjoyed posting progress on it and your feedback was useful for the previous Demo Days.

Reminder:
there are two types of indiedevs
the ones that want to be the next eric (they wont)
and the ones that want to make a game (they aren't from /agdg/)
You guys are looking at ONE indie dev and basing yourself on him, meanwhile statistically all the most successful indie games were made by small teams.
reminder that only ideatards with no real dev talents (they aren't even good at idea dev'ing) want to form groups
Therefore the games most likely to be successful from aggy are the ones that are finished and the ones made by a team wanting to make a game instead of people wanting to make a game to be in a team.
Therefore if you're a nodev you're NGMI, if you're still feature creeping past hype/expectation you're NGMI, if you're a team of nodevs you're NGMI. If you're a yesdev (had a finished game) you're GMI, if you're a team of yesdevs with finished games making a new product together you're really GMI.
Now there's other dev elements that can optimize probability of GMI but there's no point in going into those since the population of GMI devs is very small on aggy.
Note that being in the GMI population does not mean you'll be successful if just means you have a gambler's chance. Note that good games do fail but if you're game failed and you're from aggy you're game was probably bad.
Notable NGMIdevs: (Boku, Nortubel, Spectre, etc.)
Notable GMIdev: (Pomao, Dingo(s?), Marmo, etc.)
Notable Made It tier from aggy (over 1k reviews): (Penguin Heist, Bug Fables, Fight Knight, etc. (not many))
My advice to aggy would be for NGMI devs to plan your release within this year to push yourself into the positive probability zone. Unless you have the patreon or general financial support to support feature creep for multiple years then you are NGMI tier. If you're a GMI dev then I would start looking at devs who are also GMI and plan something together. I would NOT advise giving any lead roles to no devs or even NGMI devs. Also you really should give away keys.

Nothing really to be reminded of. All it's saying is that people with a track record statistically do better than those without. And that it's hard to get 300 million in sales. Of course a team will be better than an individual. Of course a team with proven members will on average do better than a team with new devs. It's all very basic analysis.

But here's what numbers don't show. The difference between an NPC and a human. The difference between a high IQ white man with a knowledge of white history and an industrious and judgmental personality type.

I'm just here to counter the nodev attitude of not making a game because of fear of flopping. If it takes one or two flops along the way so be it. At the very least you will be better than

I want to know the success ratio of handsome White INTJ non incels with 150+ IQ

I know, I was aware
Nolgorb should look at the advice section of the post. He only just posted his game so he's by no means a nodev nor NGMI yet. If he was inactive for a long time then yes he would be NGMI tier.

Dingodev has good style and is able to finish games, which already puts him in the top 1% of /agdg/. He just needs to find good gameplay.

I think I nailed the main theme, just needs some edits, but wow

How do you make good backrounds if your game is mostly vertical? I want to make backgrounds that are something like the backgrounds in dkc games but my shit is vertical. is it possible? is it feasible? has it been done before?

All white men should surround themselves with minorities once in awhile. Just got back from Chicago. Went to a large minority grocery store full of Asians, Mexicans, Blacks. Many of the women looked to me with eyes full of wanting. Just praying I would take them home and breed them.

It reminds of us our natural place in this world. Monarchy must be re-established if we are ever to get back on track and achieve safe productive societies again.

Now what does this have to do with game dev? As a white man you are essentially nobility of the planet earth. Use this. You are the modern day noble the world is full of serfs. Employ them. Teach them how to serve you. Bring back micro colonialism. Free trade has taken your nation from you, use it to re-establish your own Colonial empire and plantation.

My game is a little inspired by it but its backgrounds are a little stale. The church part is gorgeous
