(REPOSTIN)
Secondary progress for the day: redid (AGAIN) my trail shading stuff.
This actually not a replacement, it's additive... until now, my trail renderers have been flat surfaces. Now, after some serious study of Bayonetta 2 (and the Bayonetta effects in Smash 4!) and T:D, I've concluded that the trick to good trails is not JUST to manually animate the curves, it's to ALSO use depth-rendering surfaces to make the trails look fuller and more pronounced from all angles.
SO, to that end, the "trail tip" (the one that changes size based on the anim) is, in addition to being rendered with the trail renderer, uses a ribbon renderer (which stitches together camera-facing particles rather than socket-defined triangles) so that it has depth from any angle. The animated hemicircle effect ALSO has a secondary mesh which is a modified Torus, playing the same SubUV animation.
As an added bonus, swipes can now also define a rotational rate per-instance, which helps them look smoother for circular swings (where before we just layered them at roughly 90 degree angles)

first hit when you google "animal crossing models" gives you a good idea
Saving now works in-dungeon as well.
Also added a consumeable item for this.
>>125722561
>How do you model animal crossing characters?
Same way you'd model anything else. How is this a question?
I'm still alive, in the middle of moving across the country so I'm mostly just working on writing and story stuff. Have a tree. The leaves will move eventually.
>>125723378
keep it going, looks good. how does the game look now that the portrait is facing in?
Getting somewhere. Added engine trails, charging animation and collectible ore. Don't think I'll even attempt to go further than just "lines" with the graphics.
Shitty animation strikes again!
>>125724601

Falling animation, probably needs more movement in it so it doesn't look like drowning in syrup.
>>125724865
Just the old mining and upgrading kind of stuff. I plan to make it be focused on searching for rare ores and ship customization.
Literally knew nothing about art or animation last week and now I have this webm to share.Sorry the webms so shitty I'm still getting used to obs and didn't feel like making another one.

I have to ask you. Why are you still in agdg? It just seems beneath you. Do you ever post progress anywhere else? You don't have to reveal where if so.

JUST LIKE HUSTLE
>>125731441

okay so my recommendations are visual studio, not visual studio, code::blocks, three different text editors, visual studio again, codelite and visual studio a third time

I don't see feature creep as a serious issue for most beginning developers.
As long as you're not solely developing the game (i.e. financially dependent on it, which you should never be at that stage), you have plenty of time to implement features and learn from your mistakes
>>125733107
>none given
considering both your posts are shitposts, I see no reason to change that.
>>125733229
>learn from your mistakes
Feature creep being the biggest one
>>125732295
Speech bubbles appear in game, we're not switching our attention between the dialogue area and the game area each time the text changes. Also portraits would give characters more presence/personality, and the UI would be less bare
>>125733229

confirmed for nodev
what do other GameMaker devs use for their standard step speed? My basic greybox platformer -ish room seems to stutter every minute or so at 60 steps, but at 144 it disappears completely.
Would it be acceptable to set the desired speed to 144, or scale it to the user's performance with delta time?
Or is the stuttering from a common oversight (like a wonky page file)? I barely have anything going on in the test room and the code isn't very complex or resource-heavy.
>>125733842
>GameMaker
>>125733726
nah, but I think we're talking about different kinds of projects. The ones I see in dev threads pretty much never have scope issues.
The real problem is people having unrealistic expectations of how long and how much it takes to make a decent, polished game.

GameMaker is great if you have the ability to work separately from the drag and drop system.
Execution control may seem obfuscated to a beginner or nodev, but you can control everything.
Did slipstreamdev start his kickstarter?

>>125735920
>using bloat boost
>>125736550
what would you recommend?
>>125736686
Usually, specialized libraries perform better than Boost at trivial stuff
Boost is only good for getting an implementation of features that are not yet standardized IMO, since the standard will usually keep the same interface, making it easier to replace later
working on player movement, capture sucks because i'm stuck on laptop for break
>>125737060

>>125736686
>>125736969
This.
Depends on what you're using, and get only what you absolutely need.
in case it's something real simple, you should code your own function and not rely on libraries.
my sprite sheet is ending up really jumbled in no small part due to the irregularly sized sprites
tiles in my game can be flipped horizontally and/or vertically, and there is a second layer that is blended via a binary or. I tried to remove duplicate sprites.
Anybody got that infograph that's about how to make low poly environments?
>>125737060
it's cute. cute!
>>125738317
Wouldn't it be easier to draw with multiplication mode instead of blending with binary or?
1 is white and 0 is black. Multiply both textures.
Looking good by the way.

I've got to get to drawing more natural stuff (hills, trees, rocks...) which was never my strength.
>>125732682
it truly is the dealbreaker
to someone who's getting into gamedev I'd say start with literally the simplest game you can think.
One mechanic, one win state, one lose state, a splash screen, a main menu, saving and reloading and that's it.
Finish this whole thing that is a playable experience from start to finish and then move on to bigger projects.
Otherwise you're still learning but you're putting the top of the pyramid before the base is done.
>>125737060
finally someone that scoped good enough for 3D
is Tiled the defacto program for doing tile maps?
is agdg dying
>>125739628

>>125739216
>I've got to get to drawing more natural stuff (hills, trees, rocks...) which was never my strength.
I'm also terrible at drawing natural stuff.
I can model a house or a brick just fine, but when it comes to stuff like shrubs or clouds, i can't seem to get that "random" natural shape.
It seems forced.

gamedev question
Whats a good naming scheme for events in MVC?
When my model fires an event, my viewcontroller picks it up, but then my viewcontroller fires its own event, for consumption by children of the VC. How should I name the events to differentiate handler on the VC (which listens to the model), from the event on the VC that is listened to by the children?

if you can power through the first and second seasons it's a pretty great watch (first is the worst imo). After season two it's smooth sailing.
I would highly recommend watching the before or after. It's the superior show imo and the first season (that's not pretty great) is also just 6 episodes. From season 2 to like 7 it's absolutely great, then season 8 is all fucked up and then season 9 is great too.
Just like Lisa is the 4chan earthbound and Undertale is the reddit Earthbound, I'd say The Office is the 4chan show and Parks and Rec the reddit show. They're all great but one's never afraid to offend if it means a great joke.
Added some screenshake because that's what the kids want nowadays, right?

A game where you play as a golf ball on a miniature golf course, first scene is a small child (or angsty teen) hitting you far off to the other side of the course and getting lost in the shrubury. You have to solve puzzles and fight birds, squirrels, and other renegade golf balls to make it back to your home on the 18th hole (where your family is waiting for you)
How the FUCK do I art.Fuck this gay ass project, I'll learn piano instead.

>being bad at your own videogame
I'm making a twin stick shooter similar to Hotline Miami and Nuclear Throne. I want to give it really good spritework. I want to make it so each angle of the character is its own sprite. Obviouls I can't make 360 sprites, so would 16 angles suffice?
>>125743476
The second one was me
I hadn't tested out the unity 2d animation editor, but you basically just more and rotate sprite objects around.
All you need to do is separate out body parts and use the timeline to change their positions and rotations.
The game I'm working for is specifically trying to do things minimally (effort), but still retain some polish. This will help a lot with that by making idle animations really easy to do.
>>125742815
I'm going to start upload things more often, but I would rather post the same and possibly get a project than put it off and never get a possible.

RIXELS REEEE
I'm debating between seamless loading of zones (top down game) and having a small loading between them.
I'm thinking the loading between them could be decent pacing and separation of areas since the game isn't like "constant adventure" feeling that a game like Pokemon would give off. Plus it would be easier to implement.
I never played the original final fantasy games. Were they seamless? Most RPG's I've seen aren't, so I'm thinking that could be good from a feeling standpoint
>>125744241
I can tell you that ff7 and ff1 were, as far as I can remember, pretty much seamless (other than maybe a frame or two of black) as it switched to the next area over.
>>125744426
Seemless would mean no frames. That's loading other areas

How about a game where you play as Krampus.
Your goal is to drag everyone away to into christmas hell.
You have to set up traps with your presents, manipulate the weather, get your helpers inside the house, capture people whenever you can, and if you're able put out their fire so you can go in yourself and finish the job.
It'd be kinda like watching people in the sims and trying to trick the AI into falling for your traps.

This is the graph that determines if your game appears on the "play and rate" page on the Ludum Dare website (sorted by "Default")
There's a "default" value is determined by:
D = 50+R-5*sqrt(min(C,100))
Where D is the "default" value
R is the number of ratings your game has
C is the coolness ranking (how many games you've rated)
The page usually shows games with a "Default" value less than 46.
x is the number of ratings your game has and y is the number of ratings you have.
You need to be in the purple zone to appear in the page.
Notice that voting more than 100 times will have no effect.

what I love is that there's this cat here that seems to be slowly turning into a doge 2.0
if I can release the game in time for the memefest it will be perfect.
or maybe it's already gone and I missed it.

Which one?
Would like to just start trying to make something.
>>125743467
I too have made that rollaball game
we /yesdevs/ now right?
>>125745238
trains are the definition of comf, just you, the scenery, maybe an open book, the gentle rain outside
>>125743467
some guy on twitter took that turorial and made it fast and fucked up enough to look really fun. He switched the ball for a cube and it just moved in a very erratic fashion.
how the fuck do I do this /v/
the faces are aligned 100% to my hi-poly
want to engrave exactly as-is
usingblender
>>125750419
what are you trying to accomplish?
use boolean
>>125750419
boolean modifiers
>>125750419
unless you're just doing 3d you should just use a normal map for this.
>>125750419
pretty easily
create 20 sided polygon
create 3d numbers
use the numbers to cut out of the polygon
???
done
>>125750908
>>125750926
>>125750941
>>125750950
It sounds to me like he's trying to bake a normal map using the high poly model.
If that's the case, it's easy. Set up your UV map on the low poly model, select the high poly one, shift+select the low poly one, and then bake normals.
>>125750908
which mode? the d20 is like 20mtri and that shit takes forever even with a xeon, 980ti, and 48 niggabytes
>>125750941
I am using a normal+AO+height map. This is the hi-poly I'm making that shit from. The low-poly is already finalized and uv-unwrapped. The difference will be the roundness of the corners / bevels and the numbers will be 2D on the low-poly.
>>125751110
Yeah I am, but need to cut the numbers into the highpoly first.
Been busy with shit but had to make bodies for the base model in the end, felt too limited. using a placeholder shield and sword for now
>>125737060
I like it, It looks cute
>>125751153
you need a multires object to bake high to low
>>125751340
Shit I baked the multires because it made computing mods take forever.
>>125751379
wait everything's fine I can just bake the high-res version with the numbers and shit in substance painter's workflow instead of blender
>>125751153
>Yeah I am, but need to cut the numbers into the highpoly first.
Oh, use boolean tools for that.
>the d20 is like 20mtri and that shit takes forever even with a xeon, 980ti, and 48 niggabytes
Here's what I would do: create a normalmap from the high poly die. Next, invert the normals for all the numbers, then create a normalmap from the inverted numbers.
Bake a map of any kind with transparency to get a relevant alpha channel for the second normal map, and then layer that over the first normal map.
>>125751331
its cute! cute!
>>125751340
>you need a multires object to bake high to low
This isn't true. You can bake normals to and from any object in blender, it's not just for multires objects.
>>125751536
I wish this shit was multi-threaded or cuda
>>125751683how would those reduce memory overhead
>>125751683
blender has a cuda renderer...
>>125751745
They wouldn't, but it wouldn't take ten minutes to try each mode.
>>125751745I think he's referring to 14% CPU usage
>>125751683
Like I said, I would have just baked the normals separately for the numbers and then combined the normal maps.

s-so this is the power of unity
>>125751807
I have it turned on but it doesn't seem to help with boolean.
Fuck.
>>125751683
you need to enable cuda in preferences and then switch to it in renderer
>>125752048
>and then switch to it
what the fuck is wrong with the blender devs
VBO off by default, and now this shit.
>>125751958
why are you using boolean its a crutch for shit artists
>>125752203
>hey manually move 10 million tri to do this engraving
nope
>>125752260
also I'm simulating a CNC look, so fuck brushing the numbers in.
>>125752203
>why are you using boolean its a crutch for shit artists
LOL
>>125752127
yeah i was always wondering about that as well
also i dont think it will help with boolean
>>125752347
if you are simulating a CNC look then use NURBS models.
>>125752260
Everything about your methodology is terrible.
You didn't need to use such high poly models to generate the normals: the normalmap won't be that detailed. If it were, you'd have been better off just modeling some of the detail in. You're clearly either using far too high resolution a texture, or you're zoomed in enough on the die that it would be stupid NOT to include more mesh detail.
And even then, you don't actually need to use the boolean operations to do this. You could bake separate normal maps and combine them.
Who Winter Jam here
>>125751649
i don't think its possible since both objects need to have similar surface
>>125743613
>shooting that's constrained to certain angles
That's the absolute worst. Just rotate it, ensuring the game is rendered at proper resolution to prevent rixels.
