Game idea: A woman has to make her man a sandwich. The woman plays against the sandwich components, who have to avoid being assembled by her. The player can play as either the woman or the sandwich, with the other role played by AI, or two people can play against each other. Rips off Surgeon Simulator controls for the woman, and I Am Bread controls for the sandwich.

The controversy from the sandwich-making woman alone will sell millions!

I've put my project on the backburner for the last few months to try and learn sprite art. I have come to the conclusion that I cannot into art plus the constant reminder that time I spend on art can be spent on the actual game.

Where can I find artists for reasonable prices? I don't really want to just aimlessly look through deviant/tumblr to find artists and ask them to work on the project and the pastebin seems to be more geared to finding devs/musicians.

alright so there is no such thing as pixel art,its not really been documented and i really tried to find any literature on it

my conclusion is that pixel artists use ref from actual 2d characters,pick their palette and style and simply draw the same shading and highlights just pixels,the anatomy and structure still applies to pixel art, some people even make high res pixel art which i find really hard to make

here are some people you might turn to, not all of them are pros so they might not be available for some time

ECS is only good for the highest level of an engine, it manages the interconnect between each true engine

Something more procedural may be better for resource management
A rendering component may benefit from a functional system

Literally just do whatever the fuck you want

Any other unityfags out here using photon for multiplayer?

Working on it at the moment, my game is a 2d platforming multiplayer type thing and im having trouble making other player movement smooth, so far i can either make other players appear jerky and accurate or smoothish but lagging behind slightly, what are the best transform settings for smooth animation in a 2d game where the player can accelerate and decelerate when he moves

also had a few issues with animations not playing for other players, should i use photon animator view or focus on using PhotonView.RPC in the scripts which call the animations themself

Posted this in the last thread but no-one cared but; how do I into serialization in C++?


Basically; I'm using an entity component system to model objects. So you wanted to make an object that is a shirt:

You would have an object of say, clothing, then you would give it attributes of [upperbody], [material = wool] and so on.

This is all fine. My problem is that I want to store the info about these attributes in a text file, then read it in on the fly. In particular I'd like to be able to call a function like GetDescription which outputs a text description based on whatever attributes an item has: "This is a $wool $shirt it is $something and $somethingElse"

I've looked at a bunch of stuff for this like YAML and JSON but it all seems like I'd have to write a pretty hefty serializer or include a serious amount of bullshit third party code to get anything out of it...

How do other games manage this?

If anyone has played it, the kind of modelling I'm looking for here is something akin to how they do it in EU4 and Crusader Kings; although I believe they used YAML for the static text and then wrote their own serializer for the logic files (countries/decisions etc.).

Any ideas? Should I expect better from /agdg/ than actually wanting to discuss game programming?

With graphics like that, it's really a shame. Reminder to prioritize gameplay over everything else always.
>>
>>122273571
you could keep it laggy/jerky and then later smoothen it out using simple interpolation
>>
>>122273751
you make it sound like those graphics are supposed to be good
>>
>>122273751
>Reminder to prioritize gameplay over everything else
true
>always
false
Prioritize gameplay at the start of the project, get a solid fun working game as soon as you can. Then after it's solid you can start adding more content and start prioritizing art and music more.
>>
>>122273571
adrevenue is on average £0.0001p per ad

and unless your game is popular your ad provider will stop delivering ads after like 3 refreshes if your consumers dont tap to view them

also are there any advantages to early access? will you be featured more or less on steam? is it better to do regular release for your incomplete game?

good morning AGDG

Today our task is simple, to make progress.
this word might be sensitive to you so we'll say "pushing gnomes" for now.
If you're already pushing gnomes then feel free to stop reading now.


pushing gnomes may seem like an impossible task at times, you become distracted, bored, stuck or confused.
But do not get upset! this happens to the best of us, we all stop pushing gnomes at some point.
Today what i want us to do is, write down a task to complete in your game, it could be anything you choose but it has to be something you 100% you can get done today.
It could be the easiest thing you can think of, but try to challenge yourself if you feel confident!
So with that in mind, on a PHYSICAL piece of paper or sticky note.
leave it on your desk or around your workspace, we want this note to be the wheels on your cart to push gnomes with.
Now at this point you have two choices

>leave your house
go out have lunch somewhere you've never tried take a walk through a park, go for a jog. do something outside at least for 30 minutes to an hour.

don't feel obligated to work on your task right away, all you need to do is believe that you can finish it by the end of your day.

If you have completed your task then feel free to reply to this post and your pushed gnomes.

If you don't then explain why in as many words as possible.

I wish you all the best of luck!

That's what they get for wanting $15 for an unfinished, unpolished early-access game. If they lowered the price to $10 or even $5, they would have made up for the difference with increased sales.

You practically got it right yourself: most games indeed just include a YAML/JSON/XML library and the only alternative is to put a lot of effort into making your own serializer.
