Gamedev thread.
What are you faggots working on?ARE you fags working on something
I'm lazily working on something. It's just my motivation comes and goes so progress is absurdly slow.
>>340540830
i really need to learn pixel art, any tips?
>>340541298
try
>>340540830
working from home rn, just communicating with the guys at the office. We're contracting a particle fx artist. Shit's expensive. Stress all around. Missing my personal projects but feels like there's no time
i've stopped working on my game because i need actual money, not fantasy money. Maybe one day, when i'm actually well off, i'd come back to it.
>>340541991
You'll never be well off.
Do you need actual money for the development, or just to live?
I started going through game maker tutorials the other day and it seems really neat. I think the event system makes it super easy to put a game together.
But what I have in mind is like a little isometric adventure game. Do you think it's better to stick with game maker for all the extra sprite stuff it comes with or would it be easier to just use Unity so I can set each scene really easily and then just rotate the camera? Like if I wanted to have elevators or slopes it'd probably be easier to just do it with 3D objects.
>STILL putting Unity in there even though it spies on its players
Anyone considering using Unity for anything should be fucking shot.
>>340541298
open up mspaint, draw pixels, bam, pixel art.
>>340541298
Check out pixel joint, then read Cure's tutorial. Then honestly just try it. Keep your palette small and your canvas small too. Then just go for it. Looking up how to make a palette and a color ramp is also helpful
Finally. I've been waiting for gamedev thread for a long time.It's me again, faggots. Give me your best cheesy, exaggerated, cringy spell names. Shit like "Hypernova" or "Chronoslash Omega"

Just finished a space level for my smw hack
I've been looking into making a game that has trains and automobiles running the rails and road. Not quite sure where to start.
>>340540830
Oh hey, finally a page for this.
Had a couple of ideas for a 2D L.o.Zelda-clone. UE4's been fucking my comp in the ass, so I have to resort to Unity, and I have no idea how to use it. Any tips, /v/?
Also, story is basic. Team of dark edgefags get drawn to RE-style mansion and fight undead things
It's not meant to be a huge thing, but rather something to help me get used to Unity and adjust after dealing with UE4. Still have no idea what the fuck I'm doing
>>340547823
There are some good Unity tutorials on their own website. Should help you figure out how to use the program at least.

>>340547823
>UE4's been fucking my comp in the ass, so I have to resort to Unity
Are you sure that's really a good idea? UE4 feels far more optimized than Unity.
>>340547168
Like OpenTTD?
>>340541041
What are you working on?
This is the first game in steam, we manage to get into the store.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/457980/
I got lost on a mechanic-tweaking tangent while fixing a bug I noticed during boss-fight testing.
The biggest change is that you can now crouch+jump in mid-air to instantly trigger a hover (since there are no air crouch jumps) without double-jumping; DJing breaks your enemy air-momentum-matching so doing this lets you switch to a hover while mid-combo (hovering, you probably don't know, lets you use ground-combo attacks in air as you "walk" through it)
This is a really bad pass at doing this, I wanted to do something a little more complex to show it off (involving switching between propeller and aeroprop over and over by attack-to-block chaining switching the hover on and off) but my current crouch bind is C and my fingers just aren't meant to switch between shift, C and space with a good rhythm.
Tech used:
Crouch-hover
hovering ground melee
block stocking
trip-lifting
Best engine to make a fighting game? Unity has problems keeping consistent framerates.
>>340555170
More hands on as far as handling citizens go. It's rail lines that I'm not sure where to go forward with. Mainly smooth movement and having a connected rail line.
>>340556026
Is Unity your first game engine? A locked framerate is something that every engine has a problem with.
>>340556074
>More hands on as far as handling citizens go.
Like, you handle day-to-day rail policy stuff, like ticket handling, prices, timetables, etc.?
Ideas
Concept art.
Just got to get a pc good enough to use any game making software.
>>340556074
Anon, that doesn't sound like a game, it sounds like a job.
Put up my first game on the google play store 3 days ago. 2 years of very messy development with it starting on the PC with a friend as an online game, then scrapped once we didn't get any kickstarter funds. It was only scrapped because my programmer friend lost interest. Decided a year later to try to learn programming myself, then by chance found playmaker. Used it, learned it, and bam. Went through 6 different unfinished projects before I went back to Dega Madness to try and do it (as a single player game now) on android. Took around 4 months to make (I also work fulltime)
I find that the alpha maps in the title screen don't work properly on some of the lower end devices, just the ones that are set to unlit/transparent cutout (unity), so I'll have to go back and try to find out why. Also with my joystick that I designed myself, I had a problem with confining it to within a certain spacial distance. So you can move the controller all over the screen, but the player will only move if you keep the joystick within the bottom GUI area. Some players have problems keeping their thumb in that area, as they just tend to keep pushing it up the screen. Also some fairly bad lag on lower end devices. I'm not sure if that's because my game isn't optimized or if it's the phone.
Anyway if you have a decent android it should run fine, I'll have to find a way to try and bind the joystick though. For now just keep it within the bottom gui. Was fully made in playmaker btw.
***Game is called Dega Madness
The goal is to try to dodge all of the "Dega's" and reach the end. Each vehicle has it's own ability that can be used by hitting the "ability" button, and most abilities can only be used once per life.
Now working on a smaller, more simple "stack the blocks" type game.
>>340540830
Anyone have any experience with first person dungeon crawlers? I'd love to make one but don't know where to start
>>340540830
I'm trying to get back into Unity.
I wanto to make a clone of one of my favourite arcade puzzlers that I cant seem to find a decent copy of anywhere.
I previously gave up because my day job became too demanding.
Really shitty to be honest i just dont feel like working on it and im don't wanna keep working on more animations and a new character.
>>340556406
>>340556571
It's more of a sandbox thing. Like building miniature towns and trainsets. No clue how fun it'll be. I just want to make digital miniature things.

>>340557173
Well, I'd say go for it. I don't know what it is - I just really like games with rail systems.
>>340557594
I'm just fascinated with automated systems in general. I have a few ideas to make it more gamey, but I really want the emphasis on just building cool shit.
>>340558006
It worked for Minecraft and GMod
Just take the creative factor up to 11 and it will be fun. More "toy" than "game" but who gives a crap
>>340558006
Agreed with this >>340558332
>>340555170
>What exactly is this tool for?
composite sprites. like the character + hat+weapon. all the position data. + palette edition for alts. Unity animator is nor really good for that sort of stuff . Also allowed me to test rle compression which ended pretty good, files are smaller in the end than the source picture
>>340558332
>>340559360
Thanks for sharing. Already brainstorming creative ways to provide challenge completely removed from the building process. Been watching tons of stuff like this for inspiration. And in some ways is what I'm ultimately going for.

>>340560358
Going for the "miniature" aesthetic might prove to be very freeing, from a design standpoint. You can create a deep game that goes beyond the confines of realism.
>>340561683
A design idea I want to follow is the idea that anything in game is in some way possible to physically replicate, even if certain models/toy concepts don't actually exist yet. The big freeing thing for me is I won't have to adhere to the realism that other city builders have to adhere to.
>>340562135
That sounds really cool.
What's the best option for a beginner who's short on cash and wants to one-man dev a few games?
I'm planning on spending my summer learning the basics on C++ and I ideally want to focus on 3D development, but I have a toaster PC.

Well Unreal4 is free now and it uses C++ and blueprints, but I don't know how far you'll get with a toaster. Before I got my graphics card the default (mostly) empty room was so intense I could barely move the camera.

>using an existing coding language

Instant gratification is important, so complex effects like this are a great reward to the player. That, and they get to go on and lay the rest of the game.

thanks, i'll get to that
>>340571470
what are stairs but upward bridges?
I've been world building for over ten years now, I got no programming/ game designing experience, but I got alot of pixel art experience.
Sure, I'll try to make a game if laziness and or depression defeats me first.
I have about 60 pages written down on my computer and in a notebook about a single game I'm going to do. About 4000 reference images I'm going to use for the art. I have no idea where to start with programming but I'm certain I could figure out the logic and math.
>>340569014
Those giant vertical bomb blasts look solid but the little missile explosions could use a bigger burst of light in the center. All that empty space between the flowering plumes makes 'em look a little flimsy. Though since I don't even see the boss respond to being shot yet I guess you got bigger fish to fry.
>>340571985

Also, the grey cloth looks better on that red robot.
>>340540830
I've been wanting to make a game for a while to showcase my music, but I feel like that's a bad idea/reason to make a game.

>>340572140
I'm debating wither or not to have bosses flash on hit or just have a hit spark at the point of impact or both. Right now it's just the hit spark.
>>340574601
>but I feel like that's a bad idea/reason to make a game.
Not at all! I've made games for that very reason; and even when I don't build games around a piece, making the music for a game is often one of my favorite parts of game design.
Try to build a game around a piece of music (doesn't necessarily involve timing, but also atmosphere, feel, etc.). It's been done before, but I think games like this can really feel good.

>>340574629
Looks cool anon.
Good on you for prototyping the mechanics before the art and all that. Are the enemy attack patterns predetermined or does it do specific attacks depending on how the far the player is?
>>340574867
Thanks for the words of encouragement anon! I know nothing about making a game, more like a musician ideas man. But I guess I'll give it a shot.
>>340574582

>>340575130
Glad you think so.
Here's some fanart some guy did in an aggydaggy thread.
Does anyone know of any good places to find tutorials on how to use unreal engine asset creation and animation? Been looking for almost 2 weeks and I've found pretty much nothing.
>>340574968
A combination of both. If it is in melee range it will only do melee attacks. If it is in mid range it will either run after the player (this rate needs adjusting actually) or do something that has ranged properties. If it is super far from the player it has a good chance of doing a fast leaping attack to close its distance or doing any of its ranged attacks. If it learned how to do the ice block attack, in the last phase it has a good chance to use that move to block your projectiles. In addition to that if you use your ice block to block its projectiles (mostly the slash attack) it will stop using it and have a higher chance to use its leap attack because its leap attack breaks the ice block in one shot (however it will take damage from the ice block if it hits it, but this gives it another opportunity to learn the ice block).

Awesome. Glad to see more thought going into game AI, AAAs need a lot of improvement in that area. Good luck anon.
>>340575923
>FFtactics for ios/android? Is there something like that already?
In a way, yes.
Making/testing attacks. Day job is eating too much time
>>340575923
it's a genre, the same way earthbound-likes are.
Go right ahead.
>>340575923
Mechanics, assets, etc. will not be hard at all.
What will be hard will be the AI. Not to discourage you, but it can just be a massive roadblock for beginner (or even intermediate) gamedevs. Good, tactical AI is HARD. You're going to have to put a lot of thought into it, and have a firm understanding of how things like A* work.
>>340575980
Yeah besides emulators I mean.
I ask because fftactics advanced is one of the best portable games ever. You can play one turn or 400 and it's still fun.
>>340574680
What hit spark? That little circle? What is that, two frames? Man, I can't see shit when you unleash your missile barrage.
Now, I've always been a staunch believer in the white flash when you shoot a robot. It's so good. I can understand if you don't like it but at least do more than that. If you're killing a motherfucker it should feel like it, and not just after a couple seconds of sustained fire when they spontaneously drop dead. Shake 'em, spawn sparks or debris, flash white/red/any and all fucking colors of the rainbow. Do something.
And as always if you find yourself recoloring every enemy by hand to a basic effect like flashing, you fucked up. 9/10 amateurs are smarter than that and I bet you're among them but I always gotta ask in case you're that one fucking guy
>>340576127
I still feel like game balance will be super hard, especially if I'm trying to make bank with a mobile game with an endless gameplay loop. AI is hard though no doubt.
>>340576038
Unreal?
How long did this project take you to get to that point?Where do I learn how to code? I know nothing.

>>340576236
I appreciate the feedback. I'll mess around with it tonight. There's also a sound that plays if it's vulnerable where your shooting, but that doesn't play well over a soundless webm.
And no, the sprites aren't recolored by hand. I'm not that incompetent
>>340572112
Good luck, then!
I am making a fish tank "game" where you draw creatures, attach personality traits, and then watch them do stuff to each other. You will be able to connect with friends and theirs will show up too. Probably not something that would interest /v/ but I like making it.
Got my first vaguely interesting effect in. It's a 'roll the dice' kind of buff which increases your damage done of three randomly chosen elements, but slightly reduces all damage done per stack.
The numbers might need tweaking later, but for the moment they're good - it inherently punishes spamming, with 8 stacks of each buff you'll have +440% damage to each element but -480% to all damage done for a 40% penalty in total.
I haven't worked on my game in like a month, and I'm going into management and I just got done scheduling my first semester for the fall. So the game I've been wanting to make is going to take way longer than I thought, so I thought polishing up my current version and releasing it for free this year, which was my goal for the full game, and just taking my time for when the actual full thing is finished and released. I'm getting anxious and just want to put something out this summer.

A few months ago I asked this type of thread for a game to use for my shitty Game Design college course. Whoever you are, kind anon, you secured my A. Thanks so much. You know who you are, if you're reading this.
About a week away from putting out a private multiplayer build with the intention of balancing dungeon monsters.
Since that doesn't make an interesting screenshot, here's some of the desert architecture I'm working on.

Just kind of halfway doodling up some crappy 2D assets, I've put my main project on hold because of lack of inspiration. Not even sure what this is gonna be, probably just an R-Type style shmup but with unconventional locales instead of spaceshit. Honestly don't know
>>340579079

Just added in some UI, working on making it functional tonight
So people bash game maker but it really seems like it is super popular, easy to use, and very customizable. Is it really recommended by /v/? Usually Im just told to learn c++ but game maker seems like something I can just sit down and relax with after a long day

also stop making these threads they get me depressed i cant handle the fact that there are people here making actual progress and each time i see this thread i am reminded of my own incompetence
>>340582865
Yeah, that's how it is. Making games in C++ takes a lot more time and dedication. You have to give a shit about all the stupid things GM will do for you.
>>340582865
It doesn't matter what you use to make your game, as long as you can make an appealing game out of it. Gamemaker is your best bet for beginners, but you still have to put in a good amount of work for your game to be worth a single shit.
>>340578304
it all seems to me to be screenspace gradients and not based on distance
i made this real quick, maybe it can serve as an example and be easily expanded on
>>340582865
I feel like Unity is more hyped by /v/ than GM, but I prefer GM. In general, GM produces more lightweight, optimized projects than Unity. It is also far better for 2D, which I would argue is probably a good place for people to start with gamedev.
>>340562256

Haha. Yeah, it sounds stupid if you say it like that. But I'm really paranoic with this kind of things. What I'm also afraid of is of putting by mistake trademarked names to my characters. How are you supposed to avoid this? Do I have to know every trademarked name? Or should I look for trademarked names on google or something?
All the assets are placeholders, but you can more or less tell whats going on. It's going to be multiplayer based with several gamemodes and characters to choose from.

From a cursory reading, it seems like those in most cases apply to specific colors applied to specific products. Like, a specific shade of pink applied to insulin products. I don't think a whole video game palette can be trademarked.

Instanced dungeons with randomly generated puzzles that require all of you to solve, in a randomly generated dungeon. Or, since it's a game where YOU CAN DO ANYTHING and YOUR CHOICES MATTER, you can probably sneak past the dungeon or convince the puzzles to solve themselves for you using a deep well-written dialog system.

Just try to mix genres/styles and then add something you like or something you think fits. Or just polish things found on a specific genre you think lacks a few things.

Unity fags, help me out
Time.deltaTime is still variating with framerate when I run it on my cellphone.
Only way I found to eliminate framerate dependency was to use fixedDeltaTime, but this presents a problem since it comes before physics and generates a jitter when things collide, rather than a smooth collision.
I believe it is because Im using coroutines for all actions, as they allow me better control and organization, and save me quite some lines of code and variables. I wonder if anyone went through similar problems?

I think that is a problem you just run into. What was supposed to be a basic hierarchy/design pattern becomes a mess because you have so much added/removed.
Posting an old webum since I've been refactoring all evening. Adding some better debugging tools, some operator overrides, using initializer lists for constructors and assignments, lots of fun stuff. The last one should make initializing different entities for specific levels easier since I can skip a bunch of kludgy pointer gymnastics and just do it with arrays

Unity. I've been coding this since last year, but only during my freetime (and I never really have the discipline to focus on it for long hours).
Coding? I dunno... I started learning how to code with QBASIC as a kid. Learning the skill, you could try https://www.codecademy.com/
Learning the game engine, you could go to their official tutorials as a starting point.
Unity has http://unity3d.com/learn/

>Time.deltaTime is still variating with framerate when I run it on my cellphone.
That's the point. If your game is running at 60 FPS, deltatime will be 1.66 ms. If it's running at 30 FPS, it will be 3.33 ms.
Just multiplying your velocities/forces whatever by deltatime should work, the problem is most likely somewhere else.
>Only way I found to eliminate framerate dependency was to use fixedDeltaTime
That will only work if you do your calculations in FixedUpdate (which is called at a fixed frequency).
>>340612191
yo mine craft mario your clouds got too many curves

How do I open the C++ class of a level instead of the blueprint in UE4
>>340619483
Go into the source files you can't just open up code and edit it from within the engine, it doesn't work like a scripting language.
How do you guys like dialogue in your RPGs?
Just a plain old text box?
Character portrait on the left + text box?
Huge character pictures on either side of the screen, fading in and out depending on who is talking?
Banjo Kazooie style grunts/noises while each word appears?
Do you think speech bubbles like this could work? It makes it easy to have multiple characters talking at once (or interrupt each other), and means I don't have to make character portraits... but I'm not sure.
