How is your game coming along, anon?
Did some bug testing today.
Does anyone know a platform I can release a demo for bug testing feedback?
You tell me... how does it look?
I don't like UnderTale but that game technically proved that GMS is the only Indie Engine that has any chance of being successful.
Nothing that big has come out on the Unreal Engine except Goat Simulator.
I'm making a dumb RPG with main focus on combat. Mechanics are finished, it's a mix of FFV and SMT in terms of the combat.
To finish the gameplay aspect I need some cool spell names. If anyone has some weird, abstract and campy spell names please share. Examples? Decent Black, Hypernova, shit like that.
>>339634665
Don't go make the sprites so detailed if you're a pixelart newbie.
Also change the font, it really stands out.
I'm trying to be a do-it-all fag and I'm working on getting some assets done first. But while I truly enjoy working on them, my models probably suck. I'm shooting for <5000 tris for a character model because I'm planing on making most of the game in a city with lots of NPCs, but because of the lower number of polys, or because of my mediocre topology, edge shadows are making the model look like ass. Can anyone post some good examples of low/reduced-poly models or animation?
>>339635201
uuuh. doing-it-all with 3d shit is really hard, why didn't you start with something in 2d?
How hard is to make dungeon crawler in Unity? I tried it in Game Maker when I was a school boy and it was sufficient but I can program only in C++ and Unity doesn't support C++
>>339635157
I know about the font thing I'd rather make my own font but I don't know how to do it or make the font compatible for other computers after it's been made since you usually have to download a font to see it.
I suck at pixel art currently but once I learn how to draw it correctly then I can just replace all of the sprites with better ones.
>>339635068
I have some names, organized by base theme:
Fire: Lava Buster, Shimmerfire, Heatlaunch.
Water: Triple triangle typhoon, Kelp-pow, Tsunamist.
Lasers and shit: Technodrive, Last waster, Night blast, double cherry blast.
>>339635402
Mainly because I don't wanna. But also, I kinda have already, most of my middle school years were spent dicking around in Game Maker 6/7. Never made anything resembling a complete game, but I'm not too interested in 2d anymore. I know it's going to be hard, but right now the only thing I don't see myself being able to just learn is texturing/art. I'll figure something out later, but for now I'll grab placeholders from the internet and just try to make it work. I'm tired of being an idea person.
>>339635068
>Paper cutter, Thumbscrew, Black mark, Steam force, Dissolve, Shape manifest, The orb, Rewire, Funky smell, Boil, Madden, Summon cuboid, Damocles, Shredder, Mighty burst, Orange power, Crying metal, Short shock, Dampen, Bubble impact, Threaten
Literally just thinking of shit off the top of my head, some of those might be better attack names than spell names but there you go.
If you have any non-element related (I'm especially looking for 2deep4u stuff related to mythology, science or literature) I'd love it.
>>339635978
Thanks anon, saved.
>>339636287
Thanks and saved, but I skipped stuff like Boil, Madden or Threaten - I already have low-level spells, I'm looking for something really endgame.

Oh thanks I thought it's C# and Java only
Pretty well, making an RPG and I've got all the basics down, but now comes the part where I have to think about stat scaling and balance. I've got a lot of info in a spreadsheet, but I'm wondering how to effectively apply scaling for things like attack, defense etc. I can put numbers in a random range around a base value that increments as the player levels up, but that's kind of boring and I want to combine different stats to produce different effects. There's probably a few formulas online I can look at.
tool is advancing fine. Need a last tab to create color palettes and I should be able to go back to Unity
>>339638886
the save as gif option works pretty nice considering it's copy pasted code. I need to clean the weapon sprite though
Taking into account we're usingOculus Rift and LEAP Motionand thag one of the members of the team does nothing but hinder the rest of us, I guess we are doing fucking fine
>>339639632
Extend the bottom part of the bunny ears a bit. It looks incomplete. I assume it's a headband-esque situation
Guys, I'm prototyping a game that uses evolutive algorithms to create gladiators.

I cut it from Flonne's head. the weapon was fucking cut from a screenshot because nobody apparently extracted the weapon sprites. It's just placeholder at the moment.When the game prototype is done I'll probably draw a few non copyrighted assets.

If ther's AI you need 2-3 personality traits so some figthers are aggressive, others are dodgy, or block.
>>339641990
Right now the game revolves around basic tabletop rolls for damage and such, but I can focus next updates in using AI to provide a much more interesting fights
Thanks!

Good luck leaving your former ideas-guy self behind, Anon, it's time to be a real dev

Is it just me or is twitter a lot more.. commercial/sell-outy than tumblr?
I've had a tumblr for my games for a while, made a twitter recently and it seems like everyone is just out to shill.

Guys, from 0 to 10, how important in a game is AI for you?
>>339645146
nobody really notice a good AI from a mediocre one, but a bad AI ruins everything.
>>339645146
Depends on its genre. Like a lot.
>>339645367
>>339645446
Do you guys prefer AI that are really fucking smart or AI's that are fucking vocal and are not as smart but do cool stuff in a open manner instead of being subtle?
>>339645790
Moderately intelligent
Remember, a sufficiently intelligent AI is indistinguishable from an out-and-out cheating AI.
An AI that can consistently outflank you without your knowledge is indistinguishable from a bullshit rubberbanding AI that teleports behind you when it's losing
>>339646618
Thanks for the insight, mate. Right now another programmer wants to go the easy route and cowboy program a real dumb AI, but I think going for something better but not excessively intelligent is the better option.
How would you go about doing a third person melee combat system?
I'm thinking a lock on would be necessary for it to fell good, but i don't want to carbon copy oot.
Are there any good examples of 3rd p combat that i can look up for inspo?
>>339647081
Ugh
OoT is the least complicated one. And it's probably the best one.
Ugh, try Final Fantasy XII and XIII
>>339647081
Ps2 Prince of Persia games had a very fluent combat system, it felt really good to use and even better to watch, the moves were so stylish
>>339647081
Depends, what kind of game you want/plan to make?
>>339640198
Had a similar game in progress before a hard drive wipe made me lose a ton of information.
If you have multiple gladiators together think about making personalities on how they behave together.
IF they have multiple weapons, give htem weapon preferences, range preferences, etc.
While evolutionary stats are neat, behavior is where evolutionary algorithms will do you better
>>339647384
I want to make an adventure game, with a solid combat and some dynamic movement that I think should be integrated in combat. also a flintlock gun.

>>339647703
Thank you very much for the tips. I'm sorry about the drive wipe.
As I stated before, right now the game uses tabletop rolls for combat, so there isn't much room for behaviours. But based on your advice, in the future I will add some utility-based behaviours to spice things up.
Thanks again!
>>339647081
DMC/Bayo
I cite both because despite being radically different, they are built upon the framework of the best third-person melee combat system of all time
webm shillingly related
The thing about DMC/Bayo that people often miss is that it isn't about the juggles and the dodges, it's that the system (a) enables you to succeed by mashing, but simultaneously (b) rewards you for refraining from doing so
The marriage of those two elements, the ability to mash and the incentive to restrain yourself, are what make the systems so satisfying and deep.
A system that universally punishes mashing with failure becomes something Arkham-style, where it feels like a pure rhythm game with combat animations and where the player isn't free to give in to the panic or frustration of intense moments with button-breaking intensity.
A system that offers no incentive not to mash becomes the shallowest piece of shit imaginable, and combat can be reduced to "press A 48 times to unlock this door" bullshit.
>>339647081
Honestly the gundam breaker games have some really nice combat. You're able to do a lot of things in 3.
>>339647758

What genre of game do you guys prefer to play on your cellphones when you're on the bus or something?
>>339647943
Thanks but many of this focus on large number of enemies, i was actually thinking of fewer enemies with interesting patterns
>>339648502
Interesting arcade games like DEUL are great, but I also like level based environmental puzzle games like Monument Valley. Basically, something that doesn't really require much focus

>>339647943
Thanks for the tips guys
>>339648463
Thanks!
But I wasn't just shilling my game, I really meant what I said.
A game that enables you to play like a spastic moron but rewards you for restraining yourself just feels RIGHT. It captures perfectly that same cliche that makes the bishounen line work in every disposable action anime; that being a crazed shit grants immense power, but learning to control that power makes you so much more impressive.
A game that forces you to be a master before you succeed is, weirdly enough, a shallow game. Just a challenging one. A well-designed combat system has a first-floor entry level and a 60-story vaulted skill ceiling; a game where you can skate through by the skin of your teeth if you wail on the attack keys, but where you can do things worthy of sharing the footage on YouTube if you take the time to master the nuances of the mechanics.
There came a time where everyone realized that Quake just fucking nailed it with the mouselook and every game since that has involved even the most cursory need for aiming has adopted that camera-centric point-and-shoot system; the same thing needs to happen for melee mechanics WRT to DMC's core combat mechanics.
>>339648512
Well half the point of listing so many games is to point out that your options are limitless when it comes to 3rd person combat, I can't think of a game where it wouldn't work, it can do anything.
>fewer enemies with interesting patterns
Actually, DMC/Ninja Gaiden/Bayonetta/Kingdom Hearts are all strong in this department and would be a good starting point, depending on how fast you want it to play. Good luck no matter what you decide to use as inspiration.
I need help thinking of RPG mechanics
>>339648898
You want shallow gimmicky and fun, or deep and complex?
>>339645790
You want AI that can play moderately well, but using your AI to teach your player to do Cool stuff and think about expanding strategy will make the AI see mway more impressive.The second seems more important with more common games, but the first helps when you are concerned with difficulty

An old classmate did something similar in a weird 3D asteroids meets woorms game, with a secret powerup that granted you "Quantum mode". Basically it fucked up your movement physics because you didn't use macro physics anymore. Fun stuff.
>>339649151
JRPG both. One idea I had is that all magic and skills have a timer to activate, and you can cancel the timer early to cast the spell or skill at half damage or effectiveness, but the enemy also has timers, and if you cancel when the enemy is at a certain section of their charge, you'll do double damage and counter their attack

So how should I do movement in a platform? Pin point accurate where if you stop pressing a key or the stick, you just halt, or give it friction while it stops?

I think the lack of sympathy/mercifulness could be an interesting trait as well, like you could end up with a gladiator that's not particularly strong or good at fighting, but so ruthless that he just ends up winning everything.
>>339650219
He also created a "challenge mode" that was a 1v1 versus a really fucking unfair AI, after you were done, you were assigned a score and a rank. To make people go insane, the fucking score you got was random. No rhyme or reason, a plain fucking random number.
Two guys ended up hating eachother due to a very fierce rivalry, they tried their best to decipher how the score and rank worked to beat eachother, but the more they tried, the results were more and more alien. They were roommates and ended up so pissed at eachother that one of them switched rooms.
And no one ever knew it was random.

>>339651170
>>339650981
Perhaps high friction, so you don't inmediately stop while moving, but rather, stop quickly.
Unless, of course, it's slippery, which makes sense.
So, how much air control shall I give my character?
In some game you don't have much control in the air after jumping, but in some others you have plenty control
>>339651159
Evolutive gladiators guy here, I motivate myself thinking in all the crazy stuff I can add to makd things more interesting and the idea of improving my code pushes me forward.

>>339652034
A product of its time and interesting, but ultimately a bad game
I know that's a heretical thing to say, but from a combat perspective it just does so many things wrong; to like God Hand for its combat is the same as to like Resident Evil 1 for its movement controls IMO.
The game makes far too much of the combat's outcome a result not of the choices you made IN combat, but rather a result of the choices you made in menus OUTSIDE of combat. That's a big no-no.
Also, see my previous statement; it's too hard on mashers. The skill floor is too high. The game lacks a simplicity in its base combat which is necessary to make mastery of the system a reward rather than a chore.
That's not to say it's a bad game, just that it's a product of its time. If it had been made today it would rightly be shit on for an obtuse core combat system and poor skill grading.
It was a fun-loving, self-aware game, though, and that's worth a whole lot.
>>339652454

Any game as goofy as God Hand can never truly be BAD.

I figure that objectively, no melee-based game has ever been as CUHRAYZEE as a game where you backflip over a helicopter
Been trying to make a JRPG for over a year and just can't get it off the ground. I have over a decade of experience with RPG Maker and a pretty good understanding of multiple programming languages but I can't settle on the type of game I want to make or what the plot will be. I used to come up with ideas easily but now its just like I have constant writer's block and nothing makes it go away no matter how much of a break I take from working on it.
>>339652818
you should probably make his nose lines darker in the front view. Looks like a mask instead of a face
>>339653921
>no matter how much of a break I take from working on it.
NO.
STOP THAT.
The only way to beat a block is to power through it. Just set yourself a target - mine is at least 1 sketch per day - and keep at it.
Eventually things will be better. Either that or you'll kill yourself. Either way, problem solved.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but doing that kind of stuff might be much easier in Unity than Game Maker. Game Maker can do 3D, but it takes more work - while Unity by default does a fairly good job with letting a beginner make a 3D game.

Even if Toady somehow miraculously simplified the controls of DF, it still would require a lot of keys and menus. How do you plan to do something even close to that for a phone?
I wish these threads had some code or a unique word in the OP so i can filter it to go to top. i always miss them
Post music from your game, anons guess what genre it is.
>>339657381
I said inspired, not a direct port!
And I have no idea, my GUI is kinda clunky at the moment.
>>339657550
>Ca 't make music
It's some borrowed shit from someone in sound cloud haha
>>339658220
If you like music you can make music. Have you even tried?
>>339658321
Yeah, didnt went well
>>339657812
What does your game entail?
It very well could work. I guess just use touch screen to be able to select stuff as much as possible.
>>339648250
Someone send this to Best Friends
>>339658615
Basically, right now it's about simply being a god, and keeping your ""people"" safe from other cults...
By making fortresses. It's more like a test demo right now, to test mechanics, the actual story is almost non existent, of course.
There's only a ""DF"" mode right now , not a Adventurer or Legends mode yet.
>>339655869
well here's a low quality gif.. first capture was too large of webm for 4chan.
>>339658431
How long did you try?
>>339659558
didn't upload? weird.
learning about UE 4.12 and upgrading my broken project and tutorial followalongs to it. Not gonna bother with most features except maybe baking Blueprints, just getting really settled in with it finally and getting my way around. Working on using more C++ and then finish a "personal" project. Had the idea of finishing something like a single Mario Party-like minigame but one that actually has some depth/strategy/skill and can be played for more than 30 seconds.
>>339655895
nice kick.

do you guys update unity every time? i noticed that every update it usually breaks something (sometimes small, sometimes big) with my project, that i've stopped updating altogether.
>>339660565
Unity also have you pay them after you make a certain amount of money.
>>339660592
Yeah, I only just noticed an update break something (textures tiling on walls instead of stretching, which should be a default easy thing I shouldn't have to fucking worry about)
Outside of that, it has only added small neat stuff and fixed bugs I may or may not run into
>>339660690
not a percentage and not a quarterly basis. you just need either a pro license (75$ per month) or buy it for good for 1500$ which is only required if you made 100 000$ so it's nothing.
what do you think of when you hear this tune?

>>339661749
cute !
>>339660592
Unless you're working on a big commercial product with others or if you know exactly what you need to finish and you're not far off, then I don't see the need not to update. I keep getting cooler and cooler features in Unreal and the incompatibilities are usually small. Usually anything they broke they will mention in that update and it's best to stay with the most recent version if you can help it, provided it's not something that completely destroys your game. I can't say how many bugfixes Unity gets but I'm a novice and already I've run into 2-3 bugfixes in the engine that have been implemented since 4.8. Maybe even more I didn't know about.

Does GM have this problem? The old versions (5.3 - 7) were more or less backwards compatible with projects. It was great.
Is Terry right?

Almost got GameMaker installed. Gonna make a platformer and make millions on steam.
I really need to work on this more
You really think a serious game dev is going to come to the arsehole of the internet to discuss his progress?
So that 'V' malcontents can spew bile on his efforts?

I do all that already and I still don't do jack shit. I don't really see programming as a chore, I really enjoy it very much.
Literally what do, famaladingdong?
looking for some advice here
I'm trying to make something like a queue (first-in, first-out) of Vector2s in Unity C#
Is there a convenient way to do this? Javascript arrays seem to have popping and pushing, but C# doesn't. Do I just need to use an array and shift everything up by one manually each time I add a value?
>>339666554
Is this helpful?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7977ey2c%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
>>339666554
Yeah. You could create your own Pop and Push methods in order to make the code more readable.
You can use pre-increment and post-decrement
static public int co=0;
static public Vector2 thing[];
void Push {
Thing[++co]=Vector2Value;
}
void Pop {
Vector2Value=Thing[co--]
}
>This is not real c# code, just an outline
>So far have not had to use arrays in unity c#
>>339652246
Agdg sounds like a bunch of assholes.
>>339664557
lol I didn't know he livestreamed
just like make game
>>339666554
using System.Collections.Generic;
Queue<Vector2> myQ = new Queue<Vector2>();
General rule of thumb:
Only use arrays when you know how much items it will have and that it will never change.
Otherwise use a List/Queue/Stack.

Flight looks cool. What else will be in the game, other than the spaceship and powerups?
>>339648250
I really want to play this.
>>339669829
thanks, bud
I had that line, but not the "using System.Collections.Generic;"
>>339635476
Well Unity supports C#, which is an easier Object-Oriented language than C++. If you know C++, and you have a grasp of component based systems then you can literally pick up the quirks of C# in a week flat, to the degree necessary for Unity anyway.
>>339671507
I am not watching all 8 hours of that. Why does /v/ get BTFO in it?
>>339673142
the timestamp is in the link, it's at 8 hours 12 minutes 14 seconds.
I don't know how to code at all.
Thus, my game doesn't even exist.I would love to use Unity and C#, but again, no coding knowledge whatsoever.
Do you think RPG maker is worth it? I've read the new edition has switched over to javascript, which I know like the back of my hand.

I'm nearly done working on something that resembles what I want the battle system to look like.
i'm unefficiently polishing things around in my free time
also i have a trailer out

>>339673279
As long as you're willing to start small, Unity's C# and general tutorials are easy enough to follow along with.
There's even small projects that they have video tutorials for complete with premade assets as well.
Now if only art were as simple.
>>339673224
Well, he's wrong. Using an engine isn't plagiarism.
Is using a compiler to translate higher-level languages to assembly "plagiarism" as well?
>>339675060
He wrote his own compiler because he is white.

why
UE4 and Blueprints, it's dragging and dropping nodes and you hardly have to write code. Learned to use nodes is useful especially for material shaders and other things. Epic has good tutorials on their youtube. Blueprints are literally made so designers can implement functions they want without having to know how to code (but it teaches you to think in code anyway even if you don't know it)
>>339656059
m..maybe she likes to hang the mud flaps out to dry in the breeze.
Been doing a lot of client work recently, but I'm setting up a smoke system for our guns in our team's game. Smoke will come from the actual hot areas of firearms (piston on AK-type, gas blocks on AR-type, etc.).

And he livestreams every single day
Is this a very elaborate meme?
>>339660565
I always find it weird that paying Steam/Google/Apple 30% to sell the game is just the cost of business, but 5% to give you practically everything needed to make the game in the first place is considered some terrible scam.
made some more animations for the skeletons

Does color play a role as a gameplay mechanic later in your game?
>>339637250
fuck me this game gets better and better every time i see it.
>>339677228
also I made this mimic for another game I started a while ago.
>>339678154
its more of a secret-ish addition, you can beat the game without ever seeing any colors
>>339677228
Those first two poses are hilarious. Great job homie.
I made this just to fuck with a client of mine.
>>339675943
there's lumberyard too which has the same functions.
>>339678339
what's the point of that?
>I'mma pretend to be a noose and kill whoever tries to kill themselves hehe I'm so smart
>>339679050
it's a save point usually. You get close to the hanged guy and make him explode into a death sigil that lets you save and teleport.
