Hey everyone!
How's that game going?
Got some good graphics?
Making good progress?
You are working on your game, right?
>>321796947
Yes but I don't use unity.
I'm on the convince greenlight kids to click Yes phase...

Shameful self promotion!
>>321796947
>You are working on your game, right?
Why do you always have to make your posts sound so condescending, OP? It's never 'how's the gamedev going', it's always 'what, a little beta like you ISN'T working on a game? You don't want Jerome to beat you to it, do you?'
But yeah, that game's going great
>>321797747
(OP here) I'm sorry Anon, I thought it was just a thing to be condescending.
In truth anyone working on game is a cool guy & full of real ambition.
Someone wanna make me a star wars game? anything would be better than battlefront
>>321796947
>How's that game going?
i finished. Unity makes such things possible.
>>321798505
Looks neat, is it an elections game? like The Political Machine or whatever?
>>321797747
The entire point to be antagonistic is to rile people up so they're respond.
>>321796947
i'm currently working on a old school FPS with DOOM-like graphics, for now the progress is going slowly, but i plan to complete it.
Working on an end-of-the-year dev diary before starting on a bunch much more advanced features. Finished the showoff level for that. Also have to recode a few aspects to be smoother.
>>321798651
it's mainly a congress simulator based on House of Cards, you bully npcs to win bill votes.
there is elections every 5 bills though so that representatives get shuffled and you have to make good on threats and promises.
>>321798702
It's out of place, this isn't /r9k/; we don't need cuckolding into showing our progress, we'll show it when we want to
I'm shit at modeling and illustrating
>>321796947
Of course I am. I have to. My game's underlying maths stuff is actually my term project (I made it so). Now if I dont make good progress, I fail the course. Figured it was a god way of forcing yourself to work on that shit.
>>321799132
>cuckolding
I think you meant to use another word
>>321798965
Looks pretty cool
Working on the placeholder pause menu. I need to redesign some things so moving between certain things is less annoying.Everything is placeholder forever I can't draw.
>>321798965
I'm not sure I understand the style you're going for
I started doing this thing, just did breakable blocks.
Guess I'll try to make some enemies next
I'm basically aiming for a couch co-op thing, just got to figure how to make it interesting
>>321800065
Heavily stylized to look like an art-deco poster. That's still a WIP though. Later iterations will have a lot more detail in scenes and stuff. These are literally just two basic levels to show off loading between levels and text-based loading for enemies and items.
>>321796947
There is no real point in making a game when it won't be seen by anybody, unless you just want to exercise your code muscles. And before you bring up some indie success like Undertale, that might as well be playing the lottery, with your odds.
>>321800559
LIKE MY GAME ON GREENLIGHT PLZ
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=585659238
it's not quite the lottery, more like a really stacked game of poker. You can hedge your bets by making something good... it's not all random...
Besides, I don't need Undertale level of success. That's a really high bar.
>>321799391
So are most indie devs
>>321796947
Progress is good, im only working on button sprites at the moment, how do these look?
Man I hate these threads
Always gives me guilt
Im just fucking tired of my project, I hate my colleagues plebeian opinions on what we should and should not do, they ruined the vision I had for the game, which was my idea in the first place, and I just dont have the drive to continue working on it
I mean, I DO want to finish it, Im tired of not getting anything actually done, but I cant muster the strength to do it.
>>321800559
It's not really the same as playing the lottery though, is it? The lottery is random, no matter what numbers you choose. You can't "get good" at the lottery.
By contrast with gamedev, you can maximise chances. Having the right contacts, being involved in the gaming community (the actual community, not this cesspit), investing in the right avenues and of course, making a game that's not shit (or selling out to a meme: see I Am Bread, and so on), you can increase your odds of a successful game from 1 in 5000 to 1 in 50.
Made up numbers obviously, but it illustrates the point.
>>321802029
Phone game/10
>>321802029
heres a still from the actual game but a few of these sprites need reworking, especially the spikes, its gonna be free online multiplayer so you assholes can all play it together in a month or so
>>321799806
i know that feel, i have a singleplayer game im working on and every single sprite is a placeholder, i guess when you get t a point where you need to you should learn how to draw, graphicsgale is good if your doing pixel art
>>321802029
like a shitty early 2000 flash game on newgrounds, sorry :(
>>321802309
>Having the right contacts
jesus flaming christ
>>321802462
it's only socializing you tit. You can get 'the right contacts' just by being friendly and keeping in touch with other indie developers. Suck enough dick and eventually you'll get your dick sucked
>>321802445
I'm working on a bunch of minor things until I have to get to the combat, which isn't far from now. I can't really imagine how to do the combat without knowing how to have at least some kind of basic sense of drawing. Going to have to learn how to draw soon I suppose. I still don't know what I am going to do about the music though. I have no budget.
>>321802767
Ok, sure. How would you recommend to do that?
i can draw alright and can do 3d pretty well. i can make assets for days but cant do shit without a programmer. are unreal blueprints or visual programming plugins for unity worth checking out?
>>321803003
Twitter, hacking forums, fanbase forums, gamedev forums, Tumblr, Skype, amateur dev events, gamejams. Academic events, e-mail, conventions, through friends, and so on
Have you never used the internet before outside of 4chan? Or never had a job that required any kind of networking with others in your field? I shouldn't have to spell it out for you, this is literally Life 101.

It's about goddamn time you got here.
>>321805520
>max health on the left instead of the right
Dude what
>>321805304
>>321805448
>>321796947
I've been trying to make my game frame-rate independent which has created a bunch of physics and timing-related problems that I have to hunt down. Great fun!
>>321803860
Its a piece of clay, the other team is a piece of concrete, i thought it was a little similar but meat boy turns sideways to move, weird but ive actually never played super meat boy, its good right?
>>321805689
It reads better to me, I guess.
I think its because of the health bar just above going from right to left as well.
Or I guess its technically going left to right.
Fuck, I dunno anymore. It made sense to me at the time.
>>321805368
>engine from scratch
have fun making an engine and never getting around to the game itself
Coincidence. Was looking for a 3d modeler to make a small model asset for me. email me for more info. I'll pay for it.
>>321805982
>It reads better to me, I guess.
Not to everyone else. Fractions don't work like that. You don't write a half as 2/1
Sorry for the blog but gamedev is my creative outlet. It gives me something to really devote all I've got into. I love making games more than playing them, honest to god.
I've been out of funk lately and not working on my game due to depression and shit. I become a much stranger, less-healthy individual without my work and my art.
But it wont last long though. I live to make vidya, so I'll be back.
>tfw you are going to be big sooner or later
>>321806020
are you talking about the bottle?
that shit is easy to make, just mirror like two axis and box model it. Like I litterally taught an autist to do it a year ago.
>>321801824
I guess you're right, thanks for the motivation. I don't need to worry about being a perfectionist because most people are also untalented idiots just like me
>>321806002
It actually is pretty fun. You get to learn an assload about how a computer works as well
>>321805458
I don't really like references too much
>>321806254
Yeah just a bottle. But it'll be two versions: an empty version and one with static liquid in it, which means the liquid isn't meant to move. And also the cork part. It's mostly cause I rather pay someone who is use to this than do it myself. It's also meant to be a little less boxy, thus the specialty. I just don't have the time to do it myself.
Im only an idea man.
I have no experience with anything to do with making games.
>>321806662
well hope you find someone, don't pay too much though it should take like 10 minutes to make something like that.
>>321806041
I don't really look at it as a fraction, but I get what you mean.
I'll switch it around when I get back from work, and maybe make the remaining health number red or something to differentiate.
Well, I also have to actually had like a little hud but that'll come in time.
>>321806898
>I don't really look at it as a fraction
Everyone else does, that's why health and values were written like that.
>>321806819
Yeah an outsource company asked for $150 to do the bottle for me yesterday, and I instantly denied it.
>>321807064
>150 for a stupid bottle
Jesus christ
>>321808180

What's the best engine to use for a drpg?
>>321809367
any language, but c++ if you dont want an organization nightmare
>>321809492
Thanks.
Anyone here worked with Python/Tkinter? I have problems implementing a GUI for a text game
Anyone know of any good resources for a 3d jrpg? I've had a good look around and find nothing outside of unity/unreal.
I know Im probably pushing it but would like to have a look at it and understand the concept more than anything else.
>>321811446
Just don't fucking use Unity. That engine is a piece of shit and is mostly just good for small time games and mobile shit. I had so much trouble making a B tier game for it, Unreal is a whole lot better optimized for it. Or just make it all from scratch.
>>321811446
what do you mean by resources? tutorials? if you want to understand how jrpgs work download rpg maker and look around in the menus. Even if it's 2d the systems behind them aren't much different
I'm creating a visual novel.
>>321811907
Ren'py?
>>321811685
I was thinking java or c# with open gl. I just want a good few demonstrations of using 3d models with static 2d backgrounds, create interactions etc.
Would be easy enough to flip screens to battle or menu or overworld.
I just want to learn how to nail the core concepts or get a good demonstration somewhere.
I dont know why but I find unreal awfully long winded and would love to make my own engine from code so I could truly call it my own.
>>321796947
It's going good but I'm not even going to bother shilling it here. Thanks for asking!
>>321812067
Yup. Basic coding and everything is easy. I have no art assets so I'm using colored shapes for the characters. I plan to commission the art by summer.
No sex but there are some waifus.
>>321812297
What makes it different from other VNs?
>secret shill thread
:-)
>>321811850
I understand the basic concepts of events and changing maps with stacks etc, I would just like to see some src code or videos/tuts etc for the creation of a 3d jrpg.
I know it might seem lazy of me to just expect something to fall on my lap, but I have actually looked around.
>>321812554
It is sort of a mystery novel that takes place over Halloween.
It is pretty campy and fun
>>321796947
I'm working on a game but it's not in unity.
Too bad I guess.
>>321812727
The only thing 3d about rpgs is the models. Gameplay never revolves around 3d based gameplay. It's all visual. Just take what you learn from rpg maker, and apply it to 3d.
>>321812727
I doubt you're going to find any useful information
If you're still working off tutorials you probably should be making more simple games
Not to say you shouldn't attempt a jrpg if you want to, just be prepared to figure it out on your own. If you want to create your own engine, learn how to use opengl first. Although there's nothing wrong with unity, pillars of eternity was a 2d backdrop with 3d characters game that just came out on it
>>321812681
fuck that's nice water.
i told delko to do some hexagon water for his ocean in Sky Rogue which he ignored and left as out of place pixels textures, cool to see i wasnt being stupid and it actually looks good.
Made a lot of progress. All the scripts, interfaces and systems are there and I can begin making an actual demo.
Does anyone have a suggestion on a simple puzzle involving a few inventory items and an NPC or two? Just to make a tech demo that isn't cringey.
>>321813432
But what is the plot?
>>321813252
thanks dude
Mostly working on controls and camera at the moment
Don't have anything in the way of new visuals to show though, so here's a GIF of me testing sprite bump-mapping from months back
>>321813497
For the demo it can be whatever. The idea is to release all the code open source before I find some guys and make a game in it myself.
>>321812681
this looks cool, anon.
Would anyone be interested in checking out my little RPG Maker game? It's all placeholder/stock assets right now
It's far, far from done but it's done up to the second "dungeon"/boss.
Would be nice to get some feedback on the balance and such.

>>321813968
>we use
i popularized the term mate. it was posted once as a joke and i liked the joke so i kept using it which eventually led to the explosion of *dev terms. before there was only nodev and enginedev.
Just finished this little model for a shotgun-ish thing.
The game's supposed to be a fast paced shooter, so if i could get some advice that'd be nice
>>321814726
If you already know an object oriented language before starting, you can cut out over half of the trouble and learning time involved in learning Unity.
From there, it's just learning some of the tips and tricks you can pull off with Unity's inbuilt components and classes. Honestly, I've found the hardest part of Unity is grappling with the unintuitive UI, menu's and the like. The actual technical components are a piece of cake.
>>321814967
I really want to know what the rounds that shoot out of that look like
>>321814967
Too square-ish, looks like minecraft. Change the ironsight
>>321814967
I thought I was the only one who drafted models in Sketchup first. Looks good, some of the poly's seem to be facing the wrong way though (that or they're just colored in such a way that they look like it), which will probably cause some kind of grief once you put it into your engine of choice
>>321815109
Remember Star Fox for the SNES? Remember the laser shots? That's pretty much an ammo type for this wep
>>321815138
Yeah, i've been meaning to change the ironsights for a while, but i'm still not sure what to do with it
>>321815214
Sketchup is bae. And yes, the model's reversed in some parts, i'm still figuring out what to do with that, if i'm being honest.
>>321799806
I really, really like that menu. keep going, anon! an artist will appear sooner or later.
>>321815001
Yeah, I know Java and C++ and shit.
I'll stick with some tutorials for now to get familiar with the UI and then I'll try to do something for myself.

Unity's really easy, so if you've even got a little bit of coding experience you'll be able to quickly pick things up.
3d Unity games always look like garbage.
And if you're using unity for 2d you went full retard.

I am trying some procedural things but complex shapes take too much time to code in by hand, I am not familiar a lot with 3d modeling outside math.
>>321817759
3k-5k batches and ~4k saved, 5.6k shadow casters and around 10m tris/verts sound... a little much. You really gotta optimize that.

Firstly, Hotline Miami didn't invent the top-down shooter. And the game you were quoting didn't even look much like Hotline Miami in pace
Secondly, have there even /been/ many Hotline Miami clones? Compared to other indie shills, like Megaman clones, "Roguelikes" (which has lost all meaning) and no-effort RPG's, top down shooting is actually pretty rare, in indie games and in bigger studio-made games.
But thirdly, I'm fairly sure you've just come in here to bait some budding devs. Why not work on a game of your own, bro?
>>321819419
>how many different objects are in your scene?
dunno, lost count. Still didn't run too bad, the thing that brought it down was some heavy rain particle effects. Unity can handle a surprising amount when all is said and done.

What don't you like?
>>321818451
I've seen your game on AGDG and I've been meaning to ask, Why don't you have it so you are able to see all the tiles next to the player as you move instead of just clicking the tile you want to see and then moving? I think it would add a lot more strategy and even help streamline the sight mechanic better than just using a movement point to see 1 tile in front.

I am too dumb to use SDL to make my own engine but I'm afraid if I use Game Maker or Unity I won't actually be picking up programming knowledge for later.
What should I do?
>>321819848
holy shit its you again
>>321820040
this makes sense; are you thinking then that the tiles not next to the player would then be reverted to the "question mark" state?
Decided to release a (final?) major update to my old game. Making a new level.
>>321822072
Gunpoint?
>>321821098
never say it wasn't a word
but sounds like you are mocking your players
bear in mind that i think you are a fagot anyways
Making a game where you use guns to move thru space.
Working on enemy movements now.
>>321822286
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>321820162
It would be extremely painful
>>321822165
It's a shameless clone of it, yeah. I mostly made it to learn C++ game dev and have a Linux version (Gunpoint wasn't ported when I started). It's also open source.

>but sounds like you are mocking your players
How does a message saying their speed has leveled up somehow translate to saying someone is retarded?
Are you drunk?
>got a 3D zelda-like system
>got a beat'em up system
>got a planet shoot'em up system
>all dropped because can't into art
What next? I'm getting out of ideas for systems.
>>321822561
is the beat'em up webm related or like a devil may cry style system? because if not then make one of those
>>321821786
if you use shit that's like game maker's 3d you can get sort of wonky, early 2000s-like gameplay... using only keyboard to move around and sticking into walls. no mipmapping for doom-like graphics, etc. worlds.com worlds have this sort of value to them. eyeball land 3d https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GSCvMMwg0Y sort of funny pizza land, obscure game making engines but game maker 3d is still the king.
artsy unity games always have the same boring feel to them (increpare's games) save for a few (crypt worlds, goblet grotto).
dialogue is a very important part in these games unless you're going for a mainly atmosphere feel
>>321822686
>webm related or like a devil may cry style system?
I think I have both projects somewhere in my old HDD. Though I more like going with the crapcom style.
>>321822037
You could do it like that if you want, but make sure when implementing the reverting vision you are able to control more than 1 unit other wise you won't be able to know where enemies are because of the limited vision. Maybe you can have it so your game has higher difficulties and implement it then but otherwise just keep it so that all previously visible tiles stay visible. I think that would give it a more exploratory feeling and lets the player see the progress they made through out the area.

Spyro was one of my favorite games as a kid. Make a platformer like Spyro.

Please don't give up. There are not enough loli games out there.
Working on a survival game I created for fun during Christmas.
Unity does 2D better than 3D and it's dog shit for anything multiplayer, so I'm thinking of picking up my old game in UE4, an engine where I don't have to use broken 100$ networking packages.
Hi, I'm Unity! What's that? You want networking that isn't meant for phones or 4 person co-op? Server authority and prediction, what's that?? Here, have photon and easyanticheat just like every other hackfest unity game!
>>321819713
>my shit game only copied a bunch of other shit indie top-down games on the market.
The idea is terrible, and the pic showed has some of the most generic design I've seen.
>But thirdly, I'm fairly sure you've just come in here to bait some budding devs.
Your game is shit and I'm giving you a reality check. If you think you can charge money for this well buddy enjoy the reviews showing 'overwhelmingly negative'
>>321824263
>UE4
Theres hope for some here.
>>321824263
Well technically you "can" write your own, I somehow did that back then.
But I do agree with you that Unity seriously lacks essentials. Either they're broken as fuck or they just officially tell youfucking lolto check the Asset Store TM.
>>321824673
I used Bolt before Photon took over and the author went MIA. It was nice. When it worked. But I still felt like an idiot for using this engine when I knew that even Unreal 1 had better networking.
sigh... if no talent hacks like the ones behind reign of kings and whatever unity games can do it with unity and photon, then surely I can do it with UE4 and minimalistic (read: shit on purpose) graphics.

I'm not a smart man and managed to have some networking working. Don't worry dude, you can do it.
Getting the networking isn't that hard honestly, thinking of a solid game logic around it is.
>>321825924
oh don't worry, I got it working fine. Authoritative, predicted and everything. I got burned out on the entire thing though because every time I wanted to do something slightly creative I had to work around the shittiness of the engine. All I thought about on the last day of development was "I wish I chose unreal".
I think the final problem I ran in to was coding my player physics to work with terrain. Since my networking was predicted and authoritative, physics were not deterministic, and the built in character controller was trash, I had to code a character controller from scratch. Got it working very well. You would've never guessed the game was Unity because the player physics didn't have that Unity sloppiness to it. But terrain colliders were absolute trash and traces would sometimes go through them. I made a script to convert terrain to meshes. Too bad mesh colliders were expensive as all fuck.
I spent too much time fixing the engine when I could've been making gameplay. If you're making a simple singleplayer or 2D game, I'd say unity is an alright choice and only just.
>>321817838
Who said anything about paying? I just want to make something silly & fun.
I'd give it away if there was a way to do that without it seeming like a scam; I plan to sell the game for like 3$ or something. People expect more of freeware than very low cost games.
Anyone else like writing networking code? It's a pain but super satisfying when you get it right.

>I spent too much time fixing the engine when I could've been making gameplay.
This is also my main complain with Unity. If it wasn't for the editor and some wheels I don't want to rewrite I'd probably have changed a long time ago.
