This is useful. I was already going this road already sort of. My basic entities were never truly generic. My worry was less the horrendous collection of components and rather the cost of traversing the vector I store them in and the implications of downcasting.
>>144778449
Save the money and play the Unreal and CryEngine idents after it so nobody knows what engine you used.
>>144781074

>>144781058
>the cost of traversing the vector I store them in
Yeah, this solution deals with that in a nice way. By default, you don't waste any time traversing anything that you have to skip over - you add that yourself with the optional components and branching.

Just don't do it.

Am I understanding ECS correctly?
I just don't see how I'd have unique behavior. How can I make a specific entity act differently from the others? I might want a swarm of bats and I want one or a couple of bats to act differently.
Also would the Hittable component just contain the health/pushback strength or whatever?
How do you do spacial queries efficiently? Push a bunch of indexes into a quadtree?
Should the world also be stored like this? i.e. tiles with ground effects, or should that be done in some other way?
Still practicing that pixel art. I was kind of going for something like a Super Contra or Super Castlevania vibe here.

>>144782417
The entity is essentially a blob. Components are things you can stick on your entity . You have a system handle that entity for any relevant component.
Say for example you have a flight system that makes only entities with a wing component float in the air. Entities without that component arent processed.
Essentially entities are collections of components, components contain data, and systems are logic that act on that data.

I can tell that you just downscaled a picture, because it looks sort of decent, but you don't even know the fundamentals of pixelart.

What sprite style should I emulate for my first 2d game? I am new to spriting but can draw a little.
Fixed the AI bug. It will now try to hunt its enemies down, regardless of how far away they are.
I also fixed the height issue so that maps are scaled and traversed as expected. Still no jump animation, units just kind of levitate to where they need to go.
Not sure if I should start up on items or move back to fixing my busted particle system.
>>144782080

>>144782417
>I just don't see how I'd have unique behavior. How can I make a specific entity act differently from the others? I might want a swarm of bats and I want one or a couple of bats to act differently.
You do unique behaviour by doing it, there's nothing about ECS that somehow precludes it. How do you do unique behaviour with OOP? You subclass and override, right? Well, you can think of that as setting a flag, and branching on it to do something different. You can also do it with something like a function pointer if you don't want a finite number of behaviours.
>How do you do spacial queries efficiently? Push a bunch of indexes into a quadtree?
What's the difference between ECS and OOP when it comes to this?

Don't do that. Set your limits with a palette and just sprite from there--try to stick to low numbers of colors in order to increase your workflow. Start simple and small. Don't copy the ideas in other pixel work until you've sprited your own stuff for a while, just so you can recognize your shortcomings first, then seek guidance for fixing them.
>>144783737
I've read boost may be useful for other things. Is std:: experimental::optional not the same thing? That turned up in my searches.
Also thanks for the implementation rip. If I can't justify boost for some reason I'll do that.

>>144784934
Then my point still stands
>>144782797
Seems sortof consistent with what i'm saying. Right? I accidentally started my index at 1 but whatever.
I should have been more clear. Every row is an array.
>entities without that component aren't processed
So I'd do something like
//pretend there's an enum which counts ENUM_Movable=0x1,ENUM_Hittable=0x2...
if(entityArr[currentIndex].Bitfield&ENUM_Movable){
move(movableArr[currentIndex]);
}
currentIndex++;
Right?
I just find it rather disturbing because without any form of polymorphism here the unique entity behavior would have to be defined
Or is ECS more like
struct Entity{
EntityType_ENUM type;
Movable* m;
Hittable* h;
Fooable* f;
};
and then you point to something that inherits Movable/Hittable/Fooable (or really they could just be void pointers) which you then in your update function cast depending on the enum (switch on the type)?
Or is there something I'm missing. The first system I proposed doesn't allow entities to be very unique. They all have the same fields and follow the same logic except some don't respond t
>>144784189
>OOP
I don't consider OOP really.
>there's nothing about ECS that somehow precludes it
Maybe, I just don't see how. I'd be rather limited even with using a 64-bit value for my flags since they all have the potential to have a type of component. Is the idea to have many of the different types he proposed in the transition from OOP? The Prop and Char?

You can often see if they're the same poster or not either way but being explicit about it is the nice thing to do.

>>144785587
You can never see if they are the same poster. I think there is a way to show IP's but even that isnt guarenteed as multiple people can post from 1 ip and 1 person can post from multiple ip's.
What you ment to say was, "you can often correctly assume if theyre the same poster." Which did not occure.
>>144785550
>>144785747
You are correct, that is exactly what im implying, it obviously isnt necessary, but that is what i was implying.
i want to make something like this so badly
>>144785424
The "ECS with flags" approach, what I call "pure ECS", is what I'd stay away from. It's kind of an extreme where there's a single entity type and all of the components are optional.
Also, it depends what the "unique behaviour" you're thinking of is. Do you just want to have a couple bats that are more aggressive, or something like that? That can be handled with a different-valued field, not a whole new "type".
>>144783731
I appreciate the genre you're doing but I'm not too fond of the cel shading look you've got there.
Of all of the elements, the bridge and the interconnecting stone look pretty cool, the water is okay enough, and the grass/cliffs clash so much with the units and make it look unsettling.
Is the style temporary?
>>144786089
>but that is what i was implying
That clearly wasn't the case, even if that's what you intended with your post.
Christ, guess it's time to start animating.

Anon working on the beta site here, thanks to everyone who's given feedback through the feedback form so far. I've received all of it (hopefully) and am compiling all of it into useful lists, but I want to run by what I've got here in case any anons here want to weigh in:

I don't know how to build this and keep the site anonymous yet, but I'm trying to work out a solution that will be useful. Any ideas appreciated.
>3: (Several) A "Completed AGDG Games" section where devs with complete games can have their itch.io, steam, google play, etc pages linked so people can download their game.
I think this is a great idea and I'll include it as something to add to the site. When the layout and page are done I'll start taking submissions on games to include.
>4: (Several) Additions to tools section and the inclusion of a tutorials section.
If you suggested something be added to the tools section, I've added it. A tutorials section is definitely in the backlog as something to add -- for now, an anon is hosting his own gamedev tutorials blog at boreal.aggydaggy.com.

Wait are you that anon who tried to pass of some default textures packed with substance painter as your own? Isn't that the same precise mesh and texture even?its like 3am here so I might just be imagining things

Using materials in Substance Painter = stealing. Okay.
Substance painter doesnt just fart out finished textured objects you know.

collab submissions based on IP so each IP adress can only submit one entry? its not fool proof but I doubt people would use vpns just to submit joke entries. as for how you would go about doing this, i have no idea
>>144790506
Then anons with dynamic IPs can't participate in collabs.
Are blueprints a meme? Feel like I can't even create the most basic logic without it being a complete spaghetti mess compared to just writing it in C++.
I like this thread. There's not a ton of progress, but shitposting is down to a minimum

>Look guys I made these textures! == Look guys i just put on this texture generator without tweaking it!
Calm down man why so mad? Either I'm lying for no good reason or you're mad that people remembered that you tried to pass something that you didn't do as your own.If that anon that shitposted about him for like 30 mins last time is here please take over
>>144790590
what if something similar to 4chan where it knows your ip so if they can use 4chan, they can use the collab service?
>>144789602
ty friend, I cut it in half to make it look more like its flying up and down better. I hope you don't mind.
>>144786281
All the stage textures are temporary. I've not had a chance to go back and redo them and I've not yet settled on a final art style either. Most of my work is just getting the engine and the necessary features working.
>>144790714
Does old progress count? I got a basic asset purchasing system down last night with a UI layer.
>>144790887
I'm not sure what you mean anon. 4chan doesn't require you to have a static IP.
>>144790714
I can't, I'm not able to work...
Well I have progress but not for a video game, but a classical game....
>>144790307
Whoops, my bad, forgot the gradient light source.
>>144790739
Wrong.
>>144790985
but people with static ip's use it
so they could use this service
im just spit-balling here and dont know how to implement any of what im talking about

>>144791118
The best thing I can think of is some sort of tripcode-like-system where someone can make a collab request and when they do, they give it a password. Then other people can join it if they have that same password. But I don't know.
Shit this would be so much easier if I could just make a site that lets you make a user account and create your own collab page that other people can join but that is the exact opposite of what a 4chan tool site should be.

Use this:
https://tox.chat/
As contact. Note that it doesn't anonymize your IP, it's just a very neat small client. Which has very disposable ID's. You can use private/public key encryption to secure an owner/guest relationship.
For instance. If I want to submit a request I'd take a Tox ID (or any piece of information that I'm willing to share really). Encrypt it using a public-private key encryption scheme (could be implemented clientside on your site). Publish the public key along the request. This way we have a one way link between the requester-contact info and the people who sign up. Everyone gets the person who requests ID (in the case of Tox you require a 2 way add to establish communication). There can be an anonymous chat where you sign every message using your private key (can be implemented in site) and for reading there's a list of the public keys (with some sort of information behind the key, not everyone needs to ) that have been associated to the current request thread.
This scheme works well because:
There's voluntary contact information sharing (no 'add me on this' shown publicly)
There's an easy way to verify identity in thread ('encrypt this for me if you're X', then you get something back and attempt to decrypt using the matching public-key)
There's no signup process. There's a risk of garbage/spam though. But there's that here on 4chan too.
Negative:
Still no preventing request spam. (though any scheme to prevent request spam can be implemented on top)
Contact info like Tox are pretty important to prevent people from just adding Skype ID's en masse.
People may be a little bit confused if there's no good tutorial.
If you need a better explanation (I suspect you do) just email:[email protected]
I'm not a crypto expert in any way but the properties of a private public key pair is pretty obvious. It's not hard to get. But you may not have thought about it.

You're a survivor in the post-apocalypse. Nothing else matters because the main character is a top-shelf waifu, like 9/10 (at the absolute least), so people will buy it and jerk off over it no matter what. Plus, I've left things in the world vague enough to where tumblr will think they're super clever for making connections (which don't actually exist) and make stupid blog posts like "OMFG you GUYS I can't even BREATHE this game is so fucking DEEP it's literally perf."
Post space jam game ideas ideaguys. Please.
I don't wanna come to the collab empty-handed.
>>144792153
it became pretty clear they were taking this way too seriously when they drew a fucking picture to "prove" their point
>>144790370
Shadows are on the todo list and will be done once I revisit lighting. Although the game certainly suffers visually for it, it's not within my current scope.
>>144792232
Will do.

You're an pod-person type assassin on a human space station, you have to kill as much of the population as you can without being caught. If you're discovered you could still try to take everyone on but you will be vastly outnumbered and have no realistic hope of success that way.

By lowering your scope to something that you can finish before getting bored. Figure out a project you can finish in a week or so.
Then you can start working your way towards bigger projects.

Did Aaron Sorkin have something to do with this?
>>144792390
Two hostile dark-age kingdoms and a neutral city-state witness a false flag attack by assassins posing as diplomats, resulting in the regicide of one of the kings. A succession conflict occurs when that kingdom's dukes back a different heir to the throne, and the second kingdom prepares to attack the first during their rival's political weakness.
Meanwhile, there are signs that an empire from a foreign continent has orchestrated various sabotage and acts of instability (including the regicide) as a way to pepper up the two kingdoms and annex them.
The player's role as a mercenary is to wade in all Yojimbo-style, play noble houses off each other, unite them, betray them, and keep your comrades alive over the course of the 7 days this chaos sparks.

There's a ball, and it goes up and down.
And the ball is in a world, and the world story is inexistant.
And there's a goal, which is literally to get to the goal.
I'm really thinking about stopping making that game because I have no idea where it goes, and that makes me awfully sad...
>>144793849
Hell yeah baby

I have to say, I enjoy the politics and character interaction of Berserk far more than the monster-slaying.

Check your alpha value. Just set it to fully opaque and see what happens.
Re purposed the lightning gun thingy to this.
Activate to erect the turret, any enemy in the vicinity (fairly close range) will now be quickly zapped and dealt damage to. Great for offense but can also be used defensively as it targets incoming asteroids and enemy projectiles (the slow ones) as well.

>>144795007
when it comes to transparent objects the order in which items are rendered can also fuck things up a bit, check if maybe one text get rendered before and the other after the box?

Non-meme answer here :
Avoid the pixel art course. It's not bad per se but it isn't worth $15. I don't find Heartbeast to be a very good artist, his fundies are right but that's it. If you need to learn pixel art there are plenty of tutorials and such out there.
The GameMaker Course is good and I'd recommend it if you're new to GMS or programming as a whole. I'd recommend subscribing to his news letter or whatever FIRST because then you get his spaceship course for free which is also really good, and so then from there you'll be able to know whether you want to learn from him more and support him or not.
I don't know about the movement engine thing. As for the book, the current version is 1.1 but he's said a few days ago he wanted to update his book once more. Perhaps you should wait (I still haven't read it personally).Also you can find all of these things for free if you're tight on money.

The extent of my cryptography experience is having to set up salting/hashing of passwords for websites and locking down web APIs with authenticated tokens but I'll definitely check this out when I'm creating the collab system because it sounds promising. I'm going to keep this post and your e-mail for future use. Thanks a lot anon this was really helpful.I'm not working on it today because I want to practice my art more.
>>144795642
I'm not tight on money so I'd buy buying it. I'm also not new to programming -- I'm just thinking about shifting from using Monogame to using GMS because I've found that I get more bogged down in enginedevving than actually making a game so I'm exploring alternatives. I'll do what you said and check out the GMS course and his free course.
Do you know of any really good pixel art courses / guides / tutorials for an absolute beginner? Because I'm the opposite of an artist (Pic related)
