A game about pandas that panders
go for distance!
I bet you don't even call your engine from executable mapped memory
Demo day devs, do you prefer a written review or a video one? I haven't posted progress in a while but still want to help my fellow devs
Thanks for playing the game. Hope you had fun but I guess not everyone was able to run it.
Anyways I'm expecting as much feedback as possible but so far I got none from here, I know there is not really a lot to talk about but feel free to post about anything you liked/dislike, or what would you like to see/see changed.

Surprise surprise
Idea guy here
Make a fighting game, doing well timed and accurate combos will make your character slower and weaker, but the more you button mash, the more random and quickly that button mashing is, the faster and stronger your character will attack.
>>121721578
Video review is way more helpful, it lets us see how people are playing our game mechanically, and how we might forget or not think about a certain behaviour

TENDER ARMS DEMO REVIEW:
+Love the style, minimalist artwork, and color choice.
+Interface/movement/sfx are very nice and juiced.
+LoS doesn't look like shit, unlike most roguelikes.
-Game crashed almost every time I tried to use a scroll on a door. I only got past the first sealed door once. (Error message: "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.)
-Holding the move key against a wall causes you to move trough it.

Unity?
You can do everything through code with Visual Studio if you want to, there's nothing forcing you to use their GUI.

>samefagging about mothdan
reek you really are obsessed
two years of your life, spent in these threads, day in day out
at least you seem to have given up on your engine, we can only hope you give up on life soon and end it all

>>121723348

>get home from work
>all motivation to dev lost
Why?
>>121723493
Nope.
The GUI is just a wrapper over Unity API, it doesn't do anything unique.
>>121723140
Well this is one happy accident I thought I solved for the last demo day. A shame, there is an endless + combat section after the sealed door.
Are you also on Windows 7? At this point I'm looking at dual booting it.

if anything, it should be about functional prototypes that don't necessarily look great rather than OMG JUICCCEEEE!!!!

>simple turn based rpg
Currently making a simple turn based rpg.
It's not simple.
>>121719546
>Named "Not Dynablade"
I thought I was pretty clear anon.
Its probably good you didn't play the demo to see the rest of the sprites I ripped from. They're placeholder, its a demo. I don't have the time to make original assets yet having straight collision rectangles don't make the cut.
But still, you are right anon. I shouldn't have a Dynablade recolor as a screenshot advertising my unfinished game. How should I fix it?

Simple to get a prototype working I suppose. It's another thing altogether to fill it with meaningful content.

I'm making a turn based rpg like Fire Emblem desu baka senpai.
>>121724036
is this as common and cliche a JRPG plot as it sounds or did I just really enjoy FF8 that much

Anybody have a link to that site where you list game features and it tells you how long it will take to develop it?
>>121724313
love the videos these guys put out. good, tasteful, non pandering prank videos.
>>121724313
It's FF9 not FF8.
Confirmed fake rpg nerd.
Kill yourself desu.
>>121724479
looks like it is as cliche as I think because that's pretty much FF8, right down to "the princess was in your party all along also everyone was orphans at the same orphanage but didn't remember because reasons"
except instead of a princess it's a witch but it's FF and everyone is magic so it's basically the same thing
If you can't get to the 2nd floor of Aethyr then you suck at videogames.I devved really hard so you could play it...
>>121723479
You actually need a prerelease version of LOVE, sorry
https://love2d.org/builds/
The fact that the little message that says "this is the wrong version of LOVE" didn't show up is a legit bug though
>>121723493
You at least need to have a single unity scene with a single gameobject and monobehaviour attached to it, after that you can do absolutely everything via IDE.
That being said, Unity's greatest strengths are in the run-time debugging that you get from being able to mess with all the different components as well as the flexible asset creation.
Most of my actual game logic work is done in IDE, going into Unity to run and check that things work properly. Trying to make scenes and things by making prefabs with different monobehaviours and junk like that gets messy fast, in my experience.
Pic related is a thing I made for helping to test out cars.

>>121724702
Get to #1 on ranked ;)
>>121724660
I'm not gonna force myself to play a game that is not well balanced, no matter how much you worked on it. You need to make the first dungeon easier or you need to make another first dungeon and use that one as a 2nd or 3rd. I've been giving you the same feedback for 3 demo days now I think.
>>121724701

>>121724875
Your game is popular, right? Surely it must be if you've mastered the genre so thoroughly. Play it until you're not only the best dev, but also the best player!
So that's all it costs for state of the art visuals?
>>121724702
make a clicker game. those games are really interesting from a numbers perspective. getting the math right so that the game is addicting is a cool challenge

SPACE DEMENTIA DEMO REVIEW
+The physics are practically flawless, I tried my best to get stuck in a wall or jump into odd collision angles and shit, and it always worked fine.
+I've been dying to play this game since it was only gifs of not-ultraman getting his skeleton ripped off his body, so thank you for this demo
- Crouching while jumping looks extremely odd
- As that other guy said, I'm unsure if I'm supposed to be able to damage the boss.
* I would have loved a bigger/deeper body of water to try to "slingshot" as you showed in some .gifs
>>121723746
Yes, I'm on windows 7, anon. Any other way I can help you?
>>121724669
I don't even think I'm using the latest stable version, my bad. I'll try the .exe instead.
>>121724821
>If you can't get to the 2nd floor of Aethyr then you suck at videogames.
It's a easy, kiddo.
>>121724701
>http://yourgameideaistoobig.com/
>Okay it's a game
1 week of work at hobby pace is not a grand's worth of hours and I don't understand what it thinks I'm spending the money on or why I'm doing everything from scratch
>it's a game
>and an fps
boom, boot up the old Forge editor, get cracking on Anvil and it's maybe two weeks of spritework, tops, for a legit classic 3d sprite shooter, since the engine is right there rarin' to go and super easy to modify (and is open source, I bet the core Bungie folks would love hearing about a game on their old engine and probably endorse it)
>>121724994
Sure, making a single empty scene that looks decent isn't that hard
>>121725059
Enjoy no one playing your game because they can't progress at all.
How's your art coming along, /agdg/?
>>121725064
>core bungie folks
soz to say but there aint any of those niggers left, they all quit or got fired, except for jason and like... shiek
>>121724702
>i feel like i've mastered it
Top fucking kek, you haven't mastered shit anon.
>>121724994
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nLGoqqDc0w
basically this
>>121724669
Ok, redid your feedback:
You should pick a key other than slash for jumping.I'm not using an english keyboard and I literally can't jump with any key.
>>121725356
I'd have figured they died of old age but whatever, maybe they'd come out of retirementI thought the bungie core crew stayed mostly unchanged and that's why they fled microsoft to make Destiny after 343i got handed Halo (and why destiny is weird space wizard bullshit, kinda like how marathon and pathways are canon to eachother)is Marathon/Halo canon to Destiny? I wouldnt be surprised. Bungie loves that shit. I'm pretty sure their stupid Minotaur flash game that came in the original Action Sac disc is fucking canon to Marathon and Halo
>>121725342
It's not. since art isn't progress
Hey demoday dev. If you're here, please tell me which one's your gam so I can play it now and give you live feedback.
Where's your kickstarter aggy?
>>121725650
Just wanted to say that I'll never play your game unless you get a good artist.

Why doesn't your game have AAA graphics then anon? :^)
>>121725342
Art is hard. I have 17 animations to make for every weapon in my game. most are about 5 frames long.Trying not to think about the fact that that's just for my player character and that every enemy will be almost as complex
are there any online battle royale type games, with DEEP gameplay?
i want a game where u leave footprints in sand, where if u disturb birds or shoot a gun u attract attention of others, where u can paint urself with mud to camouflage.. sneaky survival type shit
>>121726163
sounds like you need to cut the complexity of your enemies then, make them do one or two things each
>>121725808
Kickstarter is pointless in >2015. I mean, c'mon people.
>>121724660
As soon as I get in the sewers it runs at about 3 FPS.
I have a powerful rig.
>>121726362
That sounds autistic and not fun.
Kill yourself.
>>121726362
evolve is probably the closest you'll get
>>121726373
unfortunately it's sort of necessary for the gameplay to work
>>121724660
game is good, just needs some more polish
>>121726531
That's depressing
>>121726435
Consistently? or just dips occasionally?

>>121726435
no 2d game should run like shit even on a toaster these days
>>121726494
its not supposed to be fun. is ace of spades fun when u get headshot for the 100th time and theres only 1 gun? no, but it makes cool stories, then they made it more like COD and it was shit
>>121726531
thanks ill take a look
>>121726649
Consistently.
Also why the fuck is opening the menu bound to the up arrow and not the Start button? I'd prefer to have the D-pad for menu navigation (and I like it better for directional movement desu).
>>121726097
because my goal is anime girls in 3D, not some gay bald photo shit traced from photos without any regard for art.
anime > realism.
>>121726814
gamepad controls are super shit, sorry.
That's really weird, and I have no idea why that would happen. There's nothing that intensive happening. The only thing I know of that causes slowdown is creating particles and projectiles because I haven't implemented object pools for those yet.
>http://yourgameideaistoobig.com/
>Or you could make it yourself in 5 months
Actually seems accurate to me. Probably like 2.5 months away atm and I've only been working for 3 on and off
>>121726362
ArmA or OpFlash custom modes offer this
but it works out to the same thing as >>121726494 because they are autistic and not fun.
Kill yourself.
>>121726972
Otherwise the game was pretty good, by the way.
You should consider making the overworld area a bit more interesting and varied.
>>121727149
Thanks. Didn't you see the sign at the start of the over world?
reminder that pic related is gonna be indie goty of the year all years, and you could have had just as much success if only you let go of your naive notions that indie game dev is about games and not tits and tummies

>>121727751

they just give it minor updates so people won't think they've abandoned it
>>121727987
Face it. Quality isn't what matters. It's how much you shill. Because seriously, every fucking person on 4chan/plebbit/tumblr/what-the-fuck-ever knows this game and it's not coming out for how long now?

>>121729659
The first game's art was bland as fuck, yet it's got 215000 sales.
The shilling for this game is far beyond the previous one's, and while the art isn't as "hot" as the previous game, it's got a strange sort of cuteness that loads of fags will gobble up.
Keep in mind that people can fap to Sonic characters. They'll have no trouble whacking it to this.

Even if it was 300 km, which basically all cars can do, they'd put it there. The sign is mostly about "make sure your tank is full" rather than "you won't be able to make it".

spoiler ur lewd pls
Does your game support triple monitors?
>>121732053
Can you explain what you mean by "instead"? Torque is used to rotate the blade around the pommel versus moving the entire blade, pommel and all

Do you have a game?

Use force to move the entire sword for non-angular movement.
A game where you play a small child that falls into an underground world filled with monsters who want to destroy humanity. The twist is that you can complete the game without killing anyone. Basic bullethell mechanics give you the illusion of actual gameplay. The game contains a large number of characters designed to appeal to the tumblr audience in order to maximise $$$.
you dont have a game!

But anon, that is gameplay. It may be simple gameplay, but it still gameplay.

So, was I wrong about Anime posters the whole time? Or is it just anime devs are the good ones?

A good and cheap realtime global illumination method. All the current ones either have serious flaws or will only run on top tier hardware.
>>121733742
dude why are you posting about this shit
This general has some serious next-gen shitposting.

literally why

It's amazing really. Other generals have to deal with waifufags, and other assorted faggotry, while we just have intense shitposting.
>>121734238
Why not?
>>121734523
because, like a lot of other "It's Realistic!" technologies, the potential for abuse and subsequent destruction of all things artistically sane is too great to let it fall into the wrong hands

What did he mean by this?
>>121731956
I need to write some sort of validation function for my random road tile generator. It doesn't need to be too fancy, at the lowest level it'd need a way to parse sequences like:
road - end_of_road - n*empty_lot - start_of_road - road
I don't want to hardcode this, I'd like it to parse text templates for rules. Anyone have any tips for such stuff?

it's not even particularly meta, either, it's just that much harder and faster
every other general is listening to mac+ and meme grips and we're here ripping classic death metal pretending people aren't dying in the circle pit
this thread has literally killed people, mothdan and rotate DID get into a ten-hour gun battle with sourcefam and his crew
>tfw all my favorite AGDG games released demos
>>121735434
Why are you being mean about my game
anyone want me to play their demo just say the word and I'll pop it on
Ok, dev.
Here it goes.
First of all, you game is looking really nice, I like the setting and the visuals, polish it and you might get some good stuff.
Now, let's talk about what's bad.
First, the camera. It's just bad, it changes way too quickly when you move from one side to another.
Second, climbing speed is way too slow even. Make it just a little bit faster and it would be fine.
Third, I'm sure you will change the attacks, but right now they are really shitty.
The sword is useless in comparison to the ice shots and even then, the shots are just a question of "keep pressing the button until it hits something".
Fourth, I couldn't get through the part in the tower you need to pass with the rope, the rope just didn't reached there, so I needed to go all the way back to your crab form to get the boots, I say you should check this matter.
As a last note, It's nice for the boss to have multiple attack patterns, I liked that, but I still couldn't beat it because of these fucking weapons. Maybe I am just bad at metroidvanias.
Keep devving, this could turn out a good game. I hope you find the objective you are looking for.
Random events can happen now.
You can also name units, the AI is more developed, and multiple AI teams will interact with each other.
Health, health bars, and combat is in the game.
Going to do some 3D modelling for the buildings now I guess, since I have to add in all the basic buildings to finish the AI & add in the tech tree's functionality.

>tfw your game isn't one of his favourites
>>121735348
>moth and rotate ever not hating each other
But what does it matter, all the strings are being pulled by steamchat, and googum is MIA
What happened to googum?

If it makes you feel better my favorite agdg game didn't release a demo
It could even be your game!

I'll download and play it! Just link it to me. :D

That dev is a douche, but he didn't abandon the game. He just keeps expanding the scope of a game for which development was always slow to begin with, even before the Kickstarter campaign (they've been working on it for like 10 years now).
>>121736027
>no indie dev will be able to make a game comparable to Silent Hill
C'mon, just give it SH1 graphics and focus on game mechanics, spooks and sound design.
>>121735825
murdered by mothdan's family during a shootout involving sourcefam
there was a gopro video of it from the firefight but it's gone now. it looked like it came straight out of afghanistan, but it's actually the midwest somewhere. crazy that this stuff still happens on US soil
>>121736478
I want to make a SH ripoff but I can't think of a decent story, setting or characters.
>>121736580
Ever since this happened I've been afraid of posting progress because I don't want mothdan to show up at my house. Crazy stalker.

someone is lost

how do I code the bullets in a shmup?
do I need fancy math?
I just want the enemy bullets to move in a curve.
>>121736580
Man, that sounds like something bobbendev would've done. I wonder what happened to him.
i'm fascinated by architecture i just dunno how to make an interesting game about it
>>121736595
Look at Lone Survivor, that's the closest we've gotten to an indie Silent Hill, and the story elements in it are pretty light. I thought it was pretty fun for a few playthroughs to get some endings.
>>121736760
Use Pi a lot.
>>121736792
who?
another member of the infamous /AGDG/ Kill List?
>>121736760
Just use something like a sine function or whatever, depends on what kind of curve you want.
>>121736760
give the bullets the origin point
distance from the origin point
rotation
ezpz
>>121735905
desu I didn't download any games that had an ugly or dumb banner image.

I just want the bullets to move like touhou where the advance in a circular motion.
>>121737146
dunno, does this work?
how do I code this in java?
