Can I just say something?
Sourcefam really is the worst person I've ever seen on the internet. He's not a bad person in the same way people on other boards are, like posting mutilated animals or anything. He's just rotten to the core, negative, and a bad person. He's a failure and he can't stop telling us about it all the time, and if it's wrong for us to point this out, then just ban us I guess?
It would honestly be a favor. Because lately it seems this place is an illusion where supposedly it's for gamedev but 80% of the posts belong to the same raving lunatic. It is hard to keep pouring positive energy into a place that is haunted by this person.
Anyway, that's my only input on the matter.
Fuck you, reek. You're shit and you know it. I hope something comes to you that removes you from the internet for good. I really do. You're so overdue for it.
Reminder: Report shitposting, ignore shitposting, post progress, respond to progress.
Good progress to you today!

It's not implemented yet because I didn't want to put the work in if it was a stupid as fuck idea. Thanks for the blessings.
>>143688075
I'm gonna have a.ini file reference an inconspicuous file that doesn't exist. You have to create the file and structure it precisely because I'm actually going to have my engine try and load the file and run the code to unlock the class.This means decompilation of some sort will be required.

being here and not shitposting is at least not negative, right
Haven't put anything on itch before so looking at what it can do.
Posted a version on luvvie ducks on google play for anyone with an android device.

I really need to work on this some more.
>spent all day on a blender model

anyone know any good tutorials for low poly characters?
>>143688565
I hope you aren't trying to make characters as a beginner modeller
tfw you wanna show off crazy combat but none of your weapons are actually implemented

>>143688565
I followed this tutorial when I made my duck, there is a subsequent video with rigging and animating.
The guy talks pretty fast so I was always stopping and starting the video, but I got through it.
He creates a low-poly, simple character too

>>143688632
Do you need any help with your game? Like at all?
>source in the op
Why do you insist on fucking up the OP every time you can, sourcefam? You can't win here.
>>143688936
Thanks man, your game is cool as fuck btw.
>>143688819
start with a wooden log, a treasure chest, a pillar
get used to modeling first
>>143688565
there is no shortcuts in 3D dude, either be a full blown 3D artist or move on
talking from experience.
if you really need a working model get one at opengameart
>Dear diary, today I funposted with my friends in /agdg/! It wasn't sad or pointless at all, we had a great time, haha!
>>143689230
Will do, I guess I can start building my less central game assets in the mean time.
>>143689234
Not an option, I gotta learn to do it. What I want to do isnt super complicated in the grand scheme of things, I'll get there.
>sourcefam is FULLY drunk and FULLY ignored, so he put his nodev """""""""engine""""""" in the OP
Feeling territorial now, shitfam? Or have you just come to abuse /agdg/ because you're out of meth pills and tequila? Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Glug Glug. :)
Hazard damage implementation.
Floor lasers and goo bombs damage both enemies and the player alike.
Not quite sure what I want to work on next. I've got a small list but its one of those "I don't want to work on ANY of this" kind of situations.
>>143688453
sourcefam needs to get lost
hopefully 4chan will ban users in more sophisticated ways like mac address and locations
>>143689528
Is using the mouse to place goo actually a part of the game or just for deving

Stick to Gamemaker m8
>>143689574
>ban by mac address
They will when the internet starts to abandon the IP protocol and searces for alternativesbut it will still be spoofable
>>143690549
Putting it aside and working on a small project with a set schedule can help you build a habit of not creating too big a project.
>>143687194
Better?
Why do you keep removing Waifu Jam of the OP?
>>143690278
nahhhh, you think so?
got some basic platforming working, need to get animator synced up next
>>143690689
Do you think a 2d platformer is a reasonable step down?

Nah i'm cool for now unless you wanna draw me some robot combatwaifus to impliment
>>143690407
Hopefully eventually. It'd be a crime not to.
>>143688740
I only post if i've got progress/feedback
>>143691047
Yeah sure, that's a very basic project. Lots of things out there to support you on that one.
>>143690913
I hope you're going to do something with the 3D
Otherwise you're just making a mountain out of a 2D platformer

How fully drunk are you right now, shitfam?

>>143691969
after attempting to finish several lowpoly characters, he is my advice
before i start i wanna say im not good on painting faces on flat surfaces and learned this lesson in the hard way, painting faces on flat surfaces becomes a problem later on when you make more challenging characters and designs
with anime its even a bigger problem because we don't actually know how 2d faces translate to 3d topology but its always good to have rough estimate where you are going to paint.
first have a concept, if you can make concept its fine too. just make sure you have visual landmarks when painting on a 3d model.
>>143692151
3 hours is alot, its good work none the less.
>>143692571
where is the drama?
this thread is okay

Now that this shitposter has started to get banned/removed consistently do we just continue to report for rule violations or?

yup sourcefam you totally made something of value and we all believe you
totally it's your game that you made and you're not a nodev at all

In UE4, is there a correct way to make an AI jump (not teleport) to a specified point in the Navmesh? I don't mean over ledges/breaks like a Link Proxy, just from one point to another.
Or do I just do it like I would an inanimate object

Got a blog?
Yesterday I came here to ask which was better, if C++ or C#, for vidyadev. Got linked to some neat frameworks and learncpp.com, which I'm currently reading and it's fantastic as I'm actually understanding stuff.
Which framework would be the best for making vidya? I mean, which one is the most flexible for 2D games? I was planning some simple Roguelike or something for a beginner project after I finish reading how to c++
>>143694801
Unity.
Unity is the only way to make a game.
>>143694801
SFML seems pretty beginner-friendly.
>>143694801
SFML as it has everything a beginner needs.
But glad you liked and took my suggestion m8.
>>143694891
>>143694920
Source Film Maker """""""Language""""""" is not game dev. Fuck off, /gif/ furfag full sail dropouts!
>>143694801
SFML is probably the easiest c++ lib, it's not a game framework by any means though, you need to make your own stuff.
>>143694801
Also, you should check out boreal.aggydaggy.com.
>>143694859
Unity is nice, but I'm not interested on it right now. I don't really care about "Actually making a game", as I'm a hobbyist programmer who likes to do shit on his free time and I'm more interested on the "Wild Ride" that is coding something rather than what Unity has to offer. Unity is great, don't get me wrong, but it's not what I'm personaly looking for.
>>143694891
>>143694920
Aight, I'll look into it.
>>143695075
> you need to make your own stuff.
Sounds like fun
>>143695158
Please ignore anyone saying "unity is the only way" or source etc, it's a retarded shitposter plaguing these threads. Don't give them any replies.

Yeah, I got it showing up in a material, but when I try and apply the material to anything it turns out black. Its an unlit shader so I think that means it doesn't need lighting. Weirdly, the effect shows up in the material inspector somewhat

A Full Sail dropout and literally a terrorist who would doxx devs like myself and then mail them bombs...
>>143696613
Sounds like he was fun at parties
>>143696461
was a guy that was spamming (at first) his gmod levels, then people started calling out on him that modding is not gamedev.
then he got caught in a big argument with tripfag named mothdan and they shitposted this general so much it left a mark
>>143694404
Not yet. I wonder if I should make one.
>>143696404
Do the triangle one
>>143694801
Well, learning C++ will help you further down the road in game development, nothing wrong with that. But if considering how fast Computers are nowadays, C# would be the easier and simpler choice to dive in for 2D and even most 3D games.
C++ is recommendable if:

I just uploaded the title theme for Luvvie Ducks I actually made it around a month ago.

>>143696461
you start to wonder if there ever was actually such a person, given that there's some near-daily shitposting frenzy that happens about it.
But really, it's just best to ignore. If there even is a story, it's not that interesting. Boredom and lack of social stimulation is probably the real story.
Guys, Turn-Based-Fighting-Game.
>>143696947
I'm going to play around with C++, and read some more about C# to check if this is necesarily the "best" choice for me. But so far, I already started learning C++, so dropping it halfway through to learn C# might not be a good idea. Also, isn't it harder to port C# to other systems such as Linux or MacOs?

>>143697362
Stick with C++ if it's going well so far. You can second-guess yourself on those kind of choices forever. Make a finished game with C++, then look at C# if you feel like it.

>>143697490
C++ is not a real language. Unity C# is the only way to make a game.
>>143697362
If you learn c++, learning c# will take you 0 time and effort. Stick to it if you already started.
>Also, isn't it harder to port C# to other systems such as Linux or MacOs?
No, c# has mono which unity uses and unity works on all sorts of oses.
>>143695725
Give it some eyes to make it even cuter.
>>143697243
there was such a person, the thing is its been so long since the original shitposters might not be here anymore
Let's settle this once and for all, sourcefam.
http://www.strawpoll.me/10336708
I fuckered the rigging and their feet go through their boots but I can't be assed to fix it anytime soon.
>>143697476
you saved my picture! I still think you should make some art. If it wasn't impossible, I would collab with you.
I look at John Carmack for inspiration and as a model of what I want to become. What is your inspiration, anon? Who do you look at and say "I want to be like him"
>>143697362
If you have already started C++ and you don't have any problems, then you might as well continue of course. But even if you drop it and start C# or another Language, transitioning isn't that hard, because most programming languages have fairly similar logic syntax.
Also i am not aware of any c# porting problems, Engines like Unity even allow you to directly Build/Port C# to all Systems.

>it's not stealing if you have to redesign it for a different medium and end up changing and adding a ton of things to make it worthwhile
i can say the same thing about me stealing assets and ideas and just gluing all of this together, you know because:
>for a different medium and end up changing and adding a ton of things to make it worthwhile
why not make a game about that new LEGO movie? copyrights? but man i worked hard on it, and its for PC!!!
i dont get the logic in what you said?
>>143698456
I more admire the heyday of game modding. It was the perfect middleground between terrible wysiwyg and delving into Assembly to make a pong game. It took just enough skill and talent to be fun, but was easy enough to do as a hobby. And a lot of truly fun stuff came out of it that's still relevant today.
>>143698318
shadenfreude chucklefucker
>>143698251
it was a guy that dropped (or finished) diploma in game design in full sail university, he also had a nasty habit of getting drunk.
i don't really remember what the argument was about but he was triggering this guy named mothdan, his point was that gamedev is useless and there is no point of going on.
so everytime sourcefam posted "progress" mothdan pulled out the drunk card and started insluting him. then sourcefam pointed out that mothdan had a unity game with store assets that he was trying to push through greenlight or something. he even had a trailer in youtube if i not mistaken.
over time over shitposters joined the party like rotatedev, and it formed what people call "boogeyman" not one really knows who is shitposting anymore

Should have used a total functional language!
>>143699971
Hope you like commenting out half your game to figure out you forgot to include a break or closing brace.
>>143699971
just run a debugger, kill the process, and see what function it stops in
>>143700356
I know whats function is causing it, but I dont know why its happening. Its just a basic pathfinding algorithm, and from what I can see before it locks up and dies, it is working. No clue where its getting stuck.
How is monogame nowadays?
Last time I tried anything in it the IDE was a complete mess shitfest and the build tools were too vague and there was 0 documentation for them.

People I idolize the most are people who can take junk and make useful or artistic stuff out of it. So my dream is to buy a lofty type building in my old neighborhood, fill it with tools and computer work spaces, and invite people who just make *STUFF* in general to live there on the cheap as long as the content they produce credits the loft place. A literal Design House. (I wanna make stuff too, butI don't have tons of tools, I don't even own a hacksaw 2bh)

Man, if only this was viable right now.
But maybe you can make this possible anon.
>>143696974
Well, thankfully game music doesnt need to be "good" in order to be good. Its memorable alright. What you need though is a lesson in basic audio editing
>>143701802
Team up with an artfag who is interested in your idea. Or just do really funky programmer art and people will play it anyways because the game's rad.
>>143696974
Didn't you have a musicbro for this?
>>143699971
hahahhaah this thumbnail encapsulates games programming for me
>>143701883
Well, there's that Maker Space/Hacker Space concept, and there's plenty of those throughout the world. My idea is more like a dorm with a workshop, though. Some student housing places kinda-sorta try to have common spaces, but they're not full of lathes and servers, at best you'll find a public-use painting easel and some couches.
Maybe work it like, the rent is however much is typical in the area, but for 50 bucks more on a separate contract you can use the workspaces all you want, and branding any works you sell lowers the price? Maybe add some intangibles like stocked food or parties or free building materials or w/e so while your rent isn't decreased, your grocery bill is cut down and you don't have to buy your own supplies? idk. it's a pipe dream though and probably wouldn't work as a public thing
>>143696974
I... kinda liked it.
>>143702273
Hello read it.
>>143702226
>Team up with an artfag
Let's just be realistic here.
>just do really funky programmer art
I'm considering this but I'm trying to find some programmer art that doesn't look like total shit. It's harder than I've anticipated.
>>143702273
as I've become a better programmer, that's no longer what I do after I code something, but when I'm thinking of what to code
still just as many bugs, but I can catch the bugs before I type now
UI artists where
>>143696974
LuvvieDev, that's great. I really like it.
Though I think it could do with some balancing.
>>143702543
Honestly, if you're at the very start don't worry about it looking like total shit. Get your proof of concept going for the backend, once you've got your game actually working you can freak out about trying to make it presentable.
>>143696974
i think I am experiencing a high order of perfection
>>143702591
Just steal a UI from an obscure game
>>143702543
I've got some top tier programmer art here you can reuse
>>143702575
this
instead of curling up into a ball due to bugs, its putting your head in your hands trying to architect it and come up with requirements on the fly
>but I can catch the bugs before I type now
fucking love this, but it becomes a problem when trying to design a solution that covers ALL possible scenarios, rather than just writing a hack to deal with specific cases
>>143702591

>>143702543
maybe i can do isometric tiles depending on the complexity
>>143702272
Yes, kinda, I think he saw the game and made a theme to fit the game.
Which I think was really good.
You can hear the theme play in the game here. (it plays when the duck reaches a certain level of happiness).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJc_J5cmxQM
Or you can listen to the music, and his other stuff here;
soundcloud.com/strohfielt-1
He really came out of the blue with this song, I haven't had much interest in the game, then all of a sudden he replied in an agdg thread saying he did a piece of music for the game.

so, the Bauhaus if instead of being a school, it's just dorms and no classes
mite b cool
I'd like to make a dungeon crawler RPG in the style of Etrian Odyssey
Would that be feasible in GM?
Kinda feels like it might be easier building the levels in 3D, but I'm not sure
>>143702705
>once you've got your game actually working you can freak out about trying to make it presentable.
Depends on the game but that's where I stand.
Or more precisely, getting something to work is easier than what people think. I have tons of prototypes lying around but at some point you really need to make some graphics because you can only go so far with primitives, and they're not that great to look at.
I've been looking around at all kind of programmer arts but I feel like they're not even trying so they're not really good references.
Don't worry Yesdevs. Keep working on your fighting games and soon you'll see your game on the big screen at ComboBreaker, streamed on Twitch with hundreds of viewers!

>>143703009
You can easily fake 3D in DC style.
>>143703201
what type of art are you aiming for, give me an example and ill tell you if its programmer-able or not
>>143703330
No thank you, CB-dev.
>>143703201
Do you have any examples of the prototypes you have at that phase? People can toss ideas around for ways to make easy art for a certain genre if they know what you're making.
Hell, you could always just ASCII it if you're really not feeling up for arting and you just want to get the point across.
>>143702705
Without good art you won't get any attention
in AGDG or otherwise
Devving your game to mechanical completion or at least a vertical slice is hard with zero outside support after the first couple years
>>143703201
Why not use programmer art in the older sense of abstract boxes, lines, and other simple vector drawings?
Instead of lavishly dressed animu characters, make them hexagons with target information like on some kind of futuristic command centre console screen, nah mean
MyGFtried pic related in VR. She said the waves where "soothing". Back to the drawinboard.
>>143696974
I wish i someday could be as great as you are mate. Keep up the good work

Something I can do by myself but is not just hexagons. I mean, everyone can make hexagons.
>>143703519
Not going to post but I have like, counting only the most completed ones : one fightan, one action-rpg and some procedural dungeon going on.
Actually I always stop when I need to think of enemies of characters. Drawing that is just out of my league currently.
>>143703606
Try to picture an action-rpg with boxes and lines. You keep that in your HDD, because clearly anyone can have boxes slashing other boxes with lines, you can't get anymore generic than this.
>>143704340
>Try to picture an action-rpg with boxes and lines.
worked for Introversion
>>143704340
If you're worried that without a good artstyle you won't be able to get interest for the game, it seems like you don't have a particularly novel concept. Games like Defcon get away with a super shitty, lazy artstyle and so can you so long as you make it fit the mood.
>>143704340
>Try to picture an action-rpg with boxes and lines.
well, here's one that uses fucking text and gets the job done
fresh programmer-art spellbook, hot off the presses
>>143704340
i don't know, if you never touched graphics editors before it might be a problem.
i don't even know what you are trying to do and how you render it but i can direct you
>>143704340
>Try to picture an action-rpg with boxes and lines.
>>143704617
FYI anon Im doing an Uplink clone
>>143704340
Yo if you really want to improve art skills I highly recommend drawing from the right side of the brain by betty edwards. It'll give you a good understanding of the basics
>>143704850
That's got some charm anon.
>>143704617
>>143704826
Look, I'm all for old/retro/simple games being an oldfag and all but I still find that shipping a game with graphics like that nowadays is extremely lazy. That's just my opinion though, and that's something I don't want to do because I know I wouldn't play those games.
>>143704651
>>143704861
Well if you remember I'm the guy who had the gothic lolita girl fighting with her umbrella, can't find my webm right now. I'm trying to find a simple artstyle like that but lack creativity I think. I'm just ranting a bit.
>check tigsource devlogs
>everything is 1 million times better than my shit
>even the generic action platformers look good
>>143705506
Sall good bro. I'm in the same boat. I want to make a more detailed sprite for an action rpg but all I've done is shit like this,
>>143705648
That doesn't look good though.
He's trying to emulate NES even though he's never actually played a NES game.
Let alone the Ninja Gaidens he's clearly trying to rip off.
>>143705648
tigsource is mainly populated by teams and artists. Going over there as a 1MA for motivation is a bad idea.
>>143705506
hire someone then. programming and art don't go together
they are both heavy subjects that require years of training
>>143705893
It's a 2 man team, with 1 of those being music guy
It's done in Construct 2
>>143705907
>hire someone then.
Never going to do that for purely non-objective reasons, thus why I'm looking at alternatives instead of "giving up" altogether.
I'll eventually find something, I just need to think of it. But sometimes someone else can give you a good suggestion so this is why I'm talking about it.
How do you guys even think of all these complex algorithms? What the fuck is wrong with you people. Fucking nerds.
>>143707014
Training. I suck at math but after 2+ years of programming algorithmic thinking comes naturally for me now.
