TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GAME!
It's chess.
Everything goes wrong: the gameNot the actual title, obviously
>>334654173
Call it Murphy's Law
>>334654173
I've heard this idea brought up so many times its not even funny anymore
Making a hentai action game. How can I make impregnation a compelling mechanic?
>>334654173
Act 1, things get pretty bad
Act 2, time travel is involved
Act 3, you start playing as the antagonist
Act 4, Switch back to protagonist, time paradox demon appears (or something, probably not demons)Basically you fucked with time too much and it created a something to wipe the slate clean
Ending, no spoilers
>>334654252
>>334654332

I quoted the wrong post. woops
>>334654637
If the ending isn't "send a nuclear device back to 1 second before the time travel method/device is first used and blow it to kingdom fuck" then your story is shit.

Fleshlight apparatus.
>>334654863
Gameplay, where do I start.
Left click: Light comboes
Right Click + Left Click: Heavy comboes
WASD: Movement
1, 2, 3: Spell selection
Shift: runs
Shift + Left click/right click does a light or heavy dash attack
tab switches to magic comboes from melee comboes
You get spells you can equip by killing boss monsters
Doing comboes fills a finisher meter where you finish the combo with a light or heavy attack to do a light or heavy finisher that doesn't kill but does massive damage
>>334654908
I can't believe that even screencaps of the "made in flash" episode look awful.
As per anons suggestion, I worked on scaling the FOV up smoothly and slowly as you gain speed. It will still need tweaking, but heres this webm where I go mildly fast, and I have another with more speed.
Scaling it appropriately per obstacle/puzzle will be important but easy to implement now that I have the framework done. Timelines in UE4 were a pain to learn, had an issue where they would update exponentially and the camera would warp inside itself as it went over 360 FOV.

This style looks really interesting, what's the game going to be like?
>>334653619
WHY DOES IT WERE THE MASK?
>>334657209
Thanks, its a puzzle platformer for the most part, though I plan to integrate shifting genres of gameplay in a few ways. The 3rd person bug pawn being one of the first, and some transitions to 2d orthographic views. Also shrinking, which is going to be fun to play with.
Those flowers boost speed, which I have mapped to level designs that make a puzzle out of finding the correct path to follow, number of flowers to hit, combining them with other mechanics and things that change your environment so the puzzles are integrated into the landscapes.
This was last progress, finishing the camera system, movements, terrain alignment, and minor animations for it.
Shoutout to animator bro though who offered to help with animations, you da best.

Yuri, lolis, futa, prostitution.
That would summarize the game that I'm making.
>>334654575
Whenever you impregnate someone, you gain a weapon based off their personality traits. Causing you to fuck wisely. Or end up with a weapon that forces you against a high level skill wall.
>>334653619
just allowed multiattacks and armor to happen in my game.
should increase the amount of tactics the player and I can use against them
>>334653619
Here's a knight enemy. It's 2x the size of the player character. R8 and give feedback, please.
>>334657878
Why would you ruin a yuri game with futa?
>>334657878
Why would you ruin a loli game with impure thoughts?
Finally finished the intro stage track. I doubt I'll have time to actually work on it but I guess I can try. Feedback is appreciated and thanks to the guy that suggested KVR Audio for looking up VSTs yesterday

Just started basic work on my next game. It'll be a web thing that any number of people can play together at once, think transformice (but not that gameplay), but it is meant to be played locally, using smartphones as controllers.
made a new asset for the kickstarter trailer, pic related. still working on it, but I like it so far.
still waiting on my musician to send me a contract/the demo track.
i recently came up with a killer idea for the kickstarter video, but I need to wait to see what exactly my musician produced before I can get to work.
shitty comm college algebra class that disallows calculators hasn't ended, time for gamedev is still super limited.now we are working on factoring polynomials and it makes me want to pull my hair out. why is this useless shit still taught outside of relevant fields. i don't know a single person other than accountants/mathematicians to whom factoring is relevant.
>>334659076
>shitty comm college algebra class that disallows calculators
Protip: if a math class uses calculators, it's a shitty class. Factoring might be useful for resolving certain differential equations
I finished the story and whatnot but damn do I suck at sprite work.
>>334657942
This is a good idea, but ideally I want to player to knock up every girl for 100% completion.
>>334659389
I'm not going to college to learn, I'm going to college for the "guarantee" that I'm worth something, because even if you contributed constantly to maintaining Linux, GNU tools and have tons of original, highly complex and well written projects on Github, you are guaranteed a shitty wage than the memedev who learned js at some for-profit shithole.
And "might be useful" is a dubious thing. Students in CS courses aren't taught ASM despite it too "might be useful". Higher education shouldn't be focused on making you "more rounded". It's completely lost all meaning as the corporate world has sucked it dry of any intellectual sovereignty. Now it's a place for you to be peddled around as an alumni so they can sink their hooks into other people's pockets and you can go work for a sweatshop like IBM and kill yourself because life's RNG didn't favor you.
This is why we make a cheeky game about how awful and soul-sucking society becomes when it's a profit driven capitalist society that lets groups of ruling plutocrats shape the world, specifically by portraying a hyper-exaggerated pessimistic criticism on the very abstraction under the guise of far-future dystopian post-cyberpunk, in the vain hope that we can narrowly dodge the horrifying monstrosity that awaits you in the world.
Fuck. I think I've become a socialist by accident.

Sorry that you're studying in a shitty institution or a career that you don't like. And profit driven is not a bad thing itself either, socialism would crash and burn just as hard, if not harder.

has white guilt, nu male sensibilities, fluid pronouns, it wad a simulation in the end. lots of dlc.

socialism is what the world ran on before jews invented the exploitation of labor. the issue with socialism is not in abolishing a ruling economic class, but rather how to establish such a society in the first place, as all attempts to do so in the past have resulted in the same shit under a different name. Bolshevism, etc.
I do like CS. I don't like studying CS because I'm an autodidact. It's like driving a GT3 race car in a track spec full of Miatas. You want to go fast, stretch your legs, become better, maybe get into F1 or LMP1, but instead you are boxed in doing 100km/h on the straights because there's no way for you to pass the assholes in front of you.
You won't catch me in a "career", working my ass off to have my labor exploited. No, I'm not a moral man, I have no problems with joining ranks of the Bourgeoisie, making a company. I have an idea but I need to finish this degree in the off chance that I crash and burn. I'm just stewing nicely in my angst because I'm deciding to play it safe, and not reaching my potential is infuriating.
So we make games. Until us playing it safe gets in the way, of course. :(
>>334653619
It's a shitty free kinetic VN (so basically not even really a game) to build experience/gather a following, then I will double down and make afurry dungeon crawler.
>>334661560
The problem is that for all the hate capitalism gets, the global GDP has risen from 600 to 10000 and poverty keeps falling. "Before the jews invented the exploitation of labor" we were a bunch of apes hunting wild life to survive
>>334658228
He looks slightly off-kilter, like his legs should be further back.
>socialism vs capitalism
Listen, you can have your safety net if you really need it, just don't fuck with the market system.
>>334662208
The rich get richer and the poor stay the same, essentially.
And not even in the cliche sense as occupy wall street. But what good has capitalism done in Africa? The Middle East? North-Eastern Asia? These are resource rich lands filled with industrious people, yet time and again something happens and whatever tiny amounts of progress they make climbing out of the hole they were dug into gets knocked out from under them and they are tossed back into the pit of religious fanaticism, murder, terrorism, etc.
For what reasons? Empires playing chess with pieces that hate each other? Corporations exerting influence over domestic and foreign governments to keep harmful, malicious leaders in power to keep wages down? Brain bleeding as these country's best leave for greener pastures (and who can blame them)? All of the above, if I had to guess.
And the West is not without it's problems. Alienation from their labor has caused Westerners quite a bit of trouble. Not only has the product of their labor become less than an abstraction to them (nevermind how the value they produce is leeched from them), but it's become something for them to fantasize about! While purely speculative, perhaps this is the root of the cause of the growing counts of mental illness developing amongst the West, Anxiety disorders and depression especially.
Imagine describing today's society and attitudes to early humans. It's no life to live. Capitalism did us good by developing us, just as aristocracy and feudalism did. But just like those two systems, they became fraught with peril and were dumped successively. With capitalism it is a constant fight to not revert to the absolutely horrendus conditions that existed in the 19th and 20th centuries for the proletariat.
Perhaps there is a better method. Perhaps the answer is not to abolish the bourgeoisie, but to put a hard limit on the amount of labor they can leech from their workers. I cannot say, but it is worth at least trying.
is this for real? Is this actually what we're talking about here?
>>334663637
>The rich get richer and the poor stay the same, essentially.
No, and that's exactly the point. Inequality is a problem, but after the industrial revolution global poverty fell from 90% to something like 10% (accounting for inflation and all that). And countries getting invaded for their resources is not capitalism's fault. As any system, it's not perfect, but you're making some ignorant remarks that you think of as facts because they support your viewpoint.
>With capitalism it is a constant fight to not revert to the absolutely horrendous conditions that existed in the 19th and 20th centuries for the proletariat
Not at all
>>334663978
The thread is dead anyway
>>334664127
then let it die if there's no dev discussion happening
>>334664216
Shit, I forgot to sage. Sorry
>>334664127
Is that why countries with laxer market laws such as China exhibit the same problems that early industrial revolution societies faced, IE lack of safety standards, extremely low wages, child labor, terrible pollution, etc.?
>>334664418
China is not a democracy, and there's a myriad of other factors involved there (like the huge amount of people). Of course a repressive goverment won't care about its citizens
>>334663637
You seem to believe that capitalism is a spirit that controls everything on earth, something evil happens somewhere on earth "it must be those darn evil demo...ern I mean capitalists."
>nevermind how the value they produce is leeched from them
you know that LVT is wrong right?
Your entire comment reeks like a young 20 something that just read a couple of introductory books on socialim btw.
>>334663978
Sure, but I'm going to be lurking anyway since I barely clocked over a week in learning how to make videogames.
I'm pretty sure there are others who have literally just started and have nothing to contribute just like me.
What are the limitations of game maker studio? Any reason to avoid using it if you're making a simple 2d run-n-gunner?
>>334664597
Can the US be called a democracy when the only elected officials who can realistically achieve an place in the executive office are plutocrats?
>>334664627
I'm not even going to dignify you if you are going to spout something that a smartass teenager says. Go read some Marx to start and maybe stop slinging fallacies around.
/v/ in a nutshell
>>334664418
>laxer market laws such as China
>>334666031
Economic freedom in any state capitalist country is low. Go figure. Has nothing to do with how awful the country is to it's working class.
>>334665482
I'd say your fine. The only thing is if you're used to a full coding language like C it will take some getting used to. But it's a quick transition
>>334665482
Nope have fun deving
>>334662208
>for all the hate capitalism gets
>people who think anti-capitalists are in any way something other than a soul-crushing minority
Tweaking my protagonist design, improving the palette and making him look less grumpy all the time. I'm hoping this is betterthe eyes are literally just kirby's eyes from Nightmare in Dreamland recolored, but I couldnt' think of anything that I liked better
>>334666720
his nomouth now looks like he's pouting.
>>334666482
You can't blame the evils of a country on the boogeyman capitalism when its a plutecraucy, that came from another failed attempt at socialism/communism, allying with foreign corporations to exploit its people.
>>334666720
cute
I've been thinking about redoing my protag, but I kinda like the place that they are in right now.
I want to make two games.
First is a game where you take control of the bad guy and have to kill the protagonists.
One of the protags is the "main character" and will have plot armor.
The more of their friends that are alive the more plot armor they have. For example there will be 5 people in a cabin. Kill them one by one until eventually you kill them all. It's single player and the protags are AI. Plot armor will make things like you tripping, or convient escape route, or maybe something falling happen to protect the protag.
Second game is a medieval fantasy business simultar but that's for later.
The first project is one I call "In the Woods" and I feel for a short game selling at 10 or 15 it could really do well
>>334666720
didn't you already post this a while ago?
are you faking progress? go make real progress
>>334667003
The first game sounds like an interesting premise.
>>334656489
is this unreal engine 4? looks neat
Continuing work on "micro game"-style action commands
>>334667203
Yeah I think so too, I'm starting on a prototyype now and hooppefully I can eventually get onee or maybe two others on my team.
I'm a programmer with a lot of experience in Unity, I know a lot of languages and have done quite a bit of work with my college's game dev club.
Mostly I develop machine learning tho so I'm missing some basic game knowledge.
I'll especailly need someone to do level design. Eventually 3D artist and all that. It will be fun for sure
>>334667052
No faking, I've been messing around with the new design since friday. If you're talking about the fact the 'old' design here is a redesign after my super shitty first sprite, well then that's that.
Just started implementing the core mechanic, no webm yet, but I'll play with enemy AI this week
Pic related, my super shitty first sprite from a while ago
Is it better to use one of Game Maker's built-in timers to do something like switch from a permanent to temporary to permanent state, or count up a variable to a limit you yourself use?
Finally got around to implementing parallax effects for the backgrounds. Gives a better sense of height, reduces memory usage, and should make targeting ground units easier since you aren't flying by them at a million miles per hour
Now working on fixing the ground unit AI to adjust for not being on the same plane as the jets. So far it's not too bad, but I can't get the HUD indicators to center on them for some reason
Made a proper level database with a single, flexible level class, instead of my previous hack solution of having every level be a unique class. Wasn't a big deal for the demo but obviously not a long-term solution. So level design will be much easier going forward
>>334667423
I'd buy the shit out of that.
>>334667423
Reminds me a little of Barkley's action commands
>>334667945
I hope you plan on dulling the background a little, it'll be difficult to distinguish shit otherwise.
I leave my thread for two hours and you guys start talking about some stupid fucking commie shit
>>334667945
looks good ullillilia
>>334667945
>AC0
Nice anon.
>failed indie dev is a commie
top kek you can't make this shit up.
>>334667945
Are you making this purely with SDL?
That's impressive anon!
>>334667423
that looks really fun, nice application of this mechanic
>>334667423
since "time" is already a resource in your game, why not let it be variant how long the micro games work, the more time you have, the more time you get to do the action, but the longer time you take to do the action means the more time resource you use?
>>334667423
My lawyers are on speed dial buddy.
That's right, plural lawyers.
>>334668271
>>334668421
Yeah, I haven't done any proper visual design yet. I took some colors from Earthbound for the tiles. I just wanted some quick tiles that would show the effects properly, rather than the solid backgrounds I used before
>>334668532
I was using Pixy's sprite for a wingman a little while back and a bug in the target selection caused it to attack me
>>334668553
Thanks! It's taking a ridiculously long time so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The only reason I originally did it was to learn C++ and I just stuck with it
>>334667962
>>334668027
>>334668734
>>334668956
thanks
that's an interesting idea about linking time/action-points to the duration of the micro game - i'll think about it
>>334668998
sorry senpai
>>334668998
Enjoy you fees
>>334670051
If its any consolidation I'm still on the designing and payment discussion part of the project so you're ahead of me.
Speaking of which, any of you guys have any ideas for a Midboss for a desert filled with robots ruled by a four armed gunslingerbot? Its the last of the bosses I have to design and I'm drawing a blank.
>>334670438
I always knew I was part Jew.
>>334670906
A trio of mariachi robots. One swings his guitar like an axe, one fires projectiles out of his trumpet, and one moves quickly and hits you with his maracas.
>>334671084
This might work, but as soon as I posted that I had an idea. I'll have to have the ideas fight to the fucking death in my head.
Anyone able to package a UE4 game for HTML5 and get it running on itch.io? I can't for the life of me get it to work and can't find any solid answers or guides online.
>>334667217
Yeah its UE4, Thanks!
Heres an older webm of different area, bitrate kind of makes it pixelated.
