You guys don't know shit about Grape Jam
Sup you script loving fuck
Made a dank spawning effect.
So I'm messing around with Unity for the first time (first 3D engine) and set up a skybox, but when I move the camera around there's a weird sort of fisheye effect. Does anyone know what could be wrong there?
>>122582901
Maybe the camera field of view is too big
>>122582723
>Just started
>Already getting frame drop
Looking forward to it
>>122582723
Looking good, anon
>>122582723

looks like the eternal darkness death animation.
Might be a bit slow right now but looks good.

i discovered today you can paint normals in blender and its quite easy
i used to bake from multires
Is it okay to hire an accounting firm if you don't have any employees at your company and its income is barely over what they charge for accounting?
Or would you just give up and close the company?
>>122578973
If I'm going to be a wizard, I want to be a wizard.
Fireball and larger fireball doesn't cut it for me. I want to command chairs to do my bidding, melt enemy gear, turn stuff into other stuff and all that wizard shit.
That being said, designing your combat-system around a base set of spells, and then presenting the special shit as an option on top of that doesn't seem like a bad idea.
>>122582428
Scaling has nothing to do with it. It's the retard developer not being consistent with their pixels. If you're going to scale then fucking scale the whole screen.
Doing the cover art for deadbolt. Anything look off?
>>122582723
Some kind of pattern on the fringe, or a particle effect would complement it nicely.
>>122583905
Looks awesome, man

hes about to drop the sickest album of 2015
>>122583905
His right wrist looks incredibly thin.
Holy crap, the monster girl island demo was really good andgave me a bonerIt's weird to think that he posted here before?
>>122583905
who is doing the music in that webm you posted on tumblr a long time ago? it was dynamic music or something? i thought it was really good,
also his wrists do look pretty thin and dainty
>>122585389
>It's weird to think that he posted here before?
Monster Girl Island Dev posts stuff regularly
I think it's cool that Hopoo has stayed here though. A lot of people make their game and bugger off.
>>122585389
He probably would still be posting here if he wouldn't get banned so much.
>>122584690
>what is a fish eye peephole
I think it's cool that anime still posts here after all these years
>>122585876
Does he get banned? Since it's such a legitimate game, I am not sure if that should be done. Maybe it he spoilers? It's also must be very inconvenient to blur out nipples
>>122583905
Maybe needs to be a bit more dynamic. Hand on the door, Coat open, Darker shadows on his head

huh?
>>122583521
You are the man
>>122583923
Yeah I will make some matrix particles with 0s and 1s, noise distortion and who nows what else. I've been looking into effects after playing The Talos Principle and in that game the particle effects are kinda simple but work very very well with what the game tries to achieve, which is similar to mine since both are simulated worlds.

>>122586374
I tried to make that very same effect myself.
Here, have the texture I used for it.
>>122586484
You artstyle is great. Just focus more in the gameplay this time around. Aerannis controls were pretty meh.
>>122586657
honestly though, i do know a chinese guy who buys and sells model trains. he sells them from $800-2500 and makes a good 25% profit off each and travels the world.
maybe i should do that instead of making games
>>122586810
but you would have to learn about trains which imo isnt worth it
>>122586764
my biggest concern with this game is making something that's immediately engaging so that people play beyond the first 2 minutes. it's a hard thing to do unless you make a fast action game (like cavern kings), so i'm kind of wondering if i should make another game i have in the back of my head and hold off on this current project
either way i've got no expectation of making cash. i just want the satisfaction of knowing people enjoy something i made
>>122586465
>I just said I wasn't posting my game anymore.
Tends to happen to a lot of devs in agdg.
They either stop posting progress or simply move out.
>>122586374
watch the shadow on the left for the wall
its there its there its
nope its gone xD
>>122586442
>being ashamed of 4chan.
I want to make a great game partly because I think the community here is so much better than other places.
Sure there's a lot of people that stir up trouble and might make my game look bad but out of the people I've actually talked to here the vast majority are honest and at some level make an effort to think for themselves.
Twitter and reddit stem honest discussion because of appearances.
>>122587126
Well, I don't blame guys like MGIdev and Lolisimdev
You'd think 4chan would be compatible with their games, but apparently not anymore
I don't miss the attention whores that migrate to Tumblr or TIG just to get more hugs

>>122587220
Good on you, anon. This can be one of the better communities on 4chan when it wants to be. There are some pretty cool people here.I hope your game does well
>>122586484
I'd recommend making the train wall fade in and out instead of pop in and out.
>>122587307
yes game about raping little girl was totally 4chan until moot became SJW
we should all migrate to 8ch t/b/h
>>122587197
There is an explanation for that.
>>122586706
wow thanks anon
>>122587871
What is your game, anon? It looks really cool.

yo we barely started, everything there at the moment its made by me in 2 weeks
And yes I'm the idea guy but I'm also working on props and making all the environment setup, material shading, postprocess, etc etc engine stuff

fine fine
im just checking

>>122588751
Since teams this large is uncommon around here, can i ask what your other team members are like in terms of contribution? Do you have everyone really into the project (even though i reads its a school project and probably for a grade)? or do you you have guys slipping by doing the bare minimum while you have to get another guy to do that share of work?
also i guess you run the 'team"? What is that like?
>>122582408
>made the thread early
>kept Source in the OP

Why do we have lazy OPdevs that make lazy threads?
>>122583905
Thats really cool and distinct. My opinion is the rifle butt clashes with the rest of the vibe, but still excellent
>>122588716
Yeah, I get that it's supposed to be perspective. I think the issue is that his other arm blends in to his jacket, so at a glance it just seems like his left arm is thinner than his right. That might just be me though.
So making your first game is supposed to take a really long time while you figure shit out right? I'm learning to program at the same time.
>>122589193Sorry, I'll fix it next time.
>>122589281
good AAA games take at least 4 years to make with a team of experienced people
no its not supposed to take long time
>>122589281
Yes, that's why you make pong
>>122589281
You shouldn't be making what you want to make as your first game, because you will resent it
Better to spend a bit of extra time and resent Pong and Tetris instead
>>122589281
Depends what your making
pong your first time should take a day
>>122589281
Best bet would be to do a couple of Game Jams. Gets you used to working on games and the idea of ideas being disposable.
>>122583905
- That's not what a skull looks like.
- His torso looks flat as cardboard.
- I can't tell what that object to the right of his head is meant to be, but I suppose that's not a big concern if it's a recognizable attribute anyways. The outlines on it are too thick.
- The door is outlined while the rest of the background is not. Furthermore its outline is thicker than the outline of the foreground character, which it definitely shouldn't be.
- I can't tell why the ceiling seems to suddenly bend behind the character. If that's meant to be a hallway then that contradicts with the location of the door and you should change the shade of the walls next to it to indicate it better.
>>122588716
whats ya music guys name?
I'm looking for guest npc's for my game. Please post any characters you want to join my game as an npc.
Some details, character quirks would be appreciated aswell.

>>122589526
>That's not what a skull looks like.
It's pretty close to what the top half of a skull looks like.
>I can't tell what that object to the right of his head is meant to be
Seems to be the stock of a shotgun or rifle, from the looks of it.
>I can't tell why the ceiling seems to suddenly bend behind the character.
Because you're looking through a fisheye lens.

The background looks really fine, but work on that torso.
You shouldn't be able to see that much of his legs and the shoulders should generally go a little lower than that.
>>122589408
>>122589424
I'm making the much game and am making decent progress. I mainly see this as a disposable learning project.
I don't really like action games which is why I didn't make pong. I'll probably make chess or something after this to learn how to use 2d graphics.
Console based UIs are pretty hard though. I hope I have a short demo available in like 2 months.
>>122589497
I will after this demo is done. I want to get good at making turn based RPGs quickly so I can make lots of different types.
I only got that fucking text box done today but I can use that code for any data that displays a list of strings.
Diagnostics feed, minimal, weapons listing, dialogue.
>>122590049
There are a lot of repeated pictures in that
>>122590049

>>122590195
All I'm saying is keep an eye out for the mailman ;)
>>122590082
>It's pretty close to what the top half of a skull looks like.
You have a very open interpretation of "pretty close," I'd say it just looks sufficiently similar to make out that it's meant to be a skull.
>Because you're looking through a fisheye lens.
Fish-eye lenses don't cause sudden ninety degree corners. I was talking about the two sharp angles in the ceiling just next to the skull.
>>122589686

>>122589113
>teams this large is uncommon around here
At uni I'm actually in one of the smaller teams, teams here are normally around 13 people, some of them even have more than 15
>what your other team members are like in terms of contribution
I know the artists and the programmers from past years, I expect them to do well and the more I work on the level creation, the more they get motivated to work on their areas. I just met the animators this year but they seem competent enough, right now it's hard to see how much they are "into" the project but I don't expect any major drama with that, we still have a lot of time (4-5 months).
>Do you have everyone really into the project (even though i reads its a school project and probably for a grade)?
Here in this uni, the group project assignment is one of the less important areas of the career, you can pass having something barely playable (really I've seen past projects and almost all of them are awful and broken as hell). Almost all the team has already experience making games in Unreal (me included) and we (or at least me lmao) are aiming for something that can be developed later on. For the uni project it will be just one level, which is the one playable in the demo but the full game would be about going to different simulated worlds with different settings and themes, kinda like Demon's Souls or Kingdom Hearts.
Also, the harder you work on the game, the better it will look like in your portfolio. And we want to have a very pretty portfolio.
>also i guess you run the 'team"? What is that like?
I don't really run the team, not officially at least. I'm the ideaguy and the keeper of peace when there is drama, I also give orders here and there, write some documents and I try to keep the morale up to get things working as soon as possible. It feels just like doing the right thing.
>>122590821
I see what you mean about the ceiling now.
There might be a hallway directly behind him that causes that, but if so, the walls should be altered to make that more clear.
>>122590643

>>122593016
oh i didnt know anyone was participating in the jam
>>122593515
The farther away you get from zero (the origin), the less precise floating point numbers become. So you'll end up with choppy movement and incorrect object placement.
>>122593530
Nigga what, there's been several trap jam posts since it started. Have you just not been here?
>k bye
what a faggot

i really never noticed any but i usually skip through american threads so i guess thats why
>>122593023
It helps if you zero it once in a while, say when you exceed 3000 on x-axis.
>>122593708
>The farther away you get from zero (the origin), the less precise floating point numbers become.
Why is that?

>>122593885
so...
this is the power of unity...
>>122593981
you make a shitty impression of dan
>>122593515
Try moving your starting point to x = 1 000 000 and you'll find out what floating point errors mean.
Positions stop being precise because the precision of the data type that describes said position grows larger than a pixel value on the screen.
There's several work-arounds so don't worry though.
>>122593530
>>122593872
what a faggot
every thread on 4chan is an american thread
disgusting weeb
>>122593939
There's only a certain amount of space in which to store the significant digits, which means that there's a limited range of values that can be represented, and as you go to extremes the digits you need before the decimal point start eating up the digits available after the decimal point, and you lose precision.
>>122594039
youre pretty stupid arent you?
>>122594249

>>122586484
What does tvn mean?
>>122593939
Floating point numbers are stored in much the same manner as a number expressed with scientific notation.
>n = mantissa * base^exponent
The mantissa and exponent themselves, of course, have a limited range of "decimal places" because there isn't infinite space for them (floating point numbers are expressed using base-2, so they're not really decimal but you get the idea).
So while you may be able to express a huge number using fairly imprecise components:
>1,000,000,000 = 1.000 * 10^9
The next representable number is quite a ways off.
>1,001,000,000 = 1.001 * 10^9
Now do the same for a small number:
>1,000 = 1.000 * 10^3
>1,001 = 1.001 * 10^3
And the value itself is much more precise.

I wish you the best of fun with agd, anon!
>>122595241
The worst thing about you weebs is that you keep repeating this blatant lie and then you accuse others of being newfags because you never saw moot dismiss anime. Then again you were probably 11 years old then and didn't even know what 4chan was.
Wanna make some shitty music for my game that will never be finished. Should I really take it serious and learn music theory or is just knowing some scales and using existing music for reference a fine way to go about things?
>>122595610
learn that theory
>>122595610
You can probably churn out something decent-sounding with just the latter.
It might make musicians cringe, but if your game's never going to be finished, what's the harm?
Weebs are a destructive force in general, they can't harbor anything good amongst themselves. If someone in /a/ for instance starts making a game, that person is fucked because weebs are pent up with anxiety and self-hate and don't want anyone to be anything but an impotent neet weeb like they are. That's why you see weebs in agdg acting the way they do (as well as the resident mental case). The same can be said for r9k or /v/, they don't want anyone to rise above their shit status on 4chan or in life.
So it's fun to watch people like googum shitpost anime and try pandering to weebs believing he was going to build some kind of support or fanbase from 4chan only to wind up being shit talked into the dirt and crying to other devs about his lack of support on twitter.
Those who learn from the mistakes of others will prosper.
>>122596062
>Those who learn from the mistakes of others will prosper.
On that note, if you really think smearing your face all over agdg or 4chan will get you fans or support you're lying to yourself. It doesn't matter how big a weeb you think you are, that's not impressing anyone, and if you think you're some kind of teen magazine heart throb who everyone really adores and thinks is "cute" you're in for a surprise, because 95% of 4chan is male and you were getting trolled the whole time.
Those who learn from the mistakes of others will prosper.
Don't pander to weebs thinking it will get you anywhere, don't kid yourself that you're some qt-pa2t who is going to be e-famous when you've done nothing but build negative karma for yourself and are wallowing in the lowest rungs of 4chan, and don't fuck with people who are legitimately smarter than you and have more supporters outside of the weebsphere.

This sort of thing is why people should be identified by their work, not by a name or by their opinions. In the off chance that I ever get to a point where I'm selling a game, I won't associate my real self with it, at least for a while. I'll probably just stick to a company name or whatever. Doing otherwise ruin reputations, see Phil Fish.
Of course this will all probably never happen because I'm lazydev.
>>122583905

>>122597907
>see Phil Fish
Phil made millions of dollars regardless of his internet reputation. Sure he crashed out of the internet but he knew what he was doing by burning that bridge and laughed all the way to the bank.
Being a known dev isn't for everyone. It takes balls. The difference is devs who are sharp enough to pull it off and those who are just mashing their face against the keyboard every once in a while and expecting praise for it.
>>122597804

yes.

He's just fucking incompetent.
>>122598084
But you'll inevitably be ridiculed by one group or another for something your game does or doesn't have (referring to cultural stuff, not legitimate criticisms), and it seems like it'd be much easier to clam up if you're just a company name and nobody knows who you are. The absolute last thing I'd want is to be involved with that GG stuff on either side, that's just asking for trouble.
>>122597907
>people should be identified by their work, not by a name or by their opinions
people should also ignore arbitrary rules made up by nobodies on the internet
if some of the faildevs here went all the way with making themself trul notorious and then came out with a game they might have success
instead it's just the same lukewarm efforts and hoping their anime message board affiliations will get them somewhere
lazy
I want to drop out to work on my engine.
>>122598531
>you'll inevitably be ridiculed by one group or another for something your game does or doesn't have
Now you're getting somewhere. Nobody can climb up in life without having their heels grabbed at once in a while. Whether you hide behind a company name or become a known dev, you have to be able to handle it. I've seen faildevs here bomb out of the internet just from agdg drama alone, shooting themselves in the foot because of things happening in a /vg/ general with 130 regular posters. How could they ever hope to survive in a community of millions? Gotta have balls.

They might have ruined their reputation but that doesn't mean they stopped coming here or left the internet, cmon now. I bet even Phil Fish is still trolling around with a psuedonym. The difference is he has enough money that it doesn't qualify as shooting himself in the foot. That's the real lesson. Don't ruin your reputation until you're at least somewhat successful.
Should devs samefag about their games?
Theres practically no way to know, so we have to assume SOME devs are, and if SOME devs are, the only way to keep it equal is for all devs to do it. Plus, anon will already think you're samefagging, so why not at least benefit from it?
>>122599252
Reputation doesn't matter. So what some retards from /agdg/ or 4chan will shitpost about you forever. There's plenty of people on tumblr and reddit left!
>>122599310
go to a psychiatrist and tell him/her that you have problems with paranoia
>>122599310
Samefagging where, here?
For what purpose?
>>122598531
at least indie game devs have a personality
companies can too easily appear soulless and are just as easy a target for ridicule
it all depends on what you want to be in life i suppose
>>122599491 (You)
Yeah, who would do that?
>>122599310
Do you mean replying to your own progress with shit like "wow great progress anon!!!"?
There's really no point in doing that, and if a dev does it so what? They are gaining absolutely nothing. The whole point of posting in /agdg/ is to get feedback and ideas from other people.
>>122599310
Samefagging like what?
Posting a screenshot and then commenting on it how awesome it looks?
Why should anyone care.
>>122598531
>The absolute last thing I'd want is to be involved with that GG stuff on either side, that's just asking for trouble.
Being able to navigate a situation like GG properly is the ultimate test in how you can manage people online without damaging your reputation. If you can't imagine how you'd deal with it (assuming you're thrown on either side of the debate initially) then you're just not Internet-literate enough to be able to deal with customers online and you should get someone to do PR for you, because eventually you'll fuck up.
>>122599828
Good point.
>>122599336
>Reputation doesn't matter.
If your reputation is bad enough and there's enough evidence of it then yeah it does matter. The internet is big but not big enough for you to run and hide from shit tied to your name. So don't burn bridges until you've actually built proper support for yourself or have made it.
>So what some retards from /agdg/ or 4chan will shitpost about you forever.
If they mention your name can people easily look it up and find you doing or saying embarrassing things? Then it matters.
>There's plenty of people on tumblr and reddit left!
Again the internet is big but not that big. If you ruin your reputation as a dev all it takes is one person who has proof from 4chan to follow you there and you're in hot water again.
I think yanderedev is an interesting case because he was a tripfag or something who constantly posted embarrassing stuff on 4chan and when everyone found out he was also yanderedev they assumed they could boil him alive, but he already had too many supporters at that point, much to their chagrin. If you mention him on /v/ you will see the old angry mob that believed they could kill him still gnashing their teeth because he has millions of followers now who couldn't care less about /v/ drama. But if he hadn't built those supporters in time or before he was found out, who knows what would have happened.
Posts like pic related would have been snuffed out by dozens of members saying
>go away we hate you
Instead of
>you are awesome yanderedev fuck that guy you sure showed him
>>122599310
>Should devs samefag about their games?
More than a few have already been caught doing it and that's not the thing that hurt their reputation. Just a mild embarrassment.
One in particular used to samefag every progress post of his to the point of absurdity but he has been caught up in many more embarrassing things than that by now.

That's not how these are supposed to work
>>122595601
but it is true tho, moot created 4chan as a forum of anime, only /a/ and /b/ wich was a random anime board existed, then it started to get bigger and bigger and it's just this, a bunch of faggots who think the weeb are cancer and the other half thinking they own all of the fucking boards
>>122599689
>Samefagging like what?
>Posting a screenshot and then commenting on it how awesome it looks?
Yes except 7 times instead of just 1 or 2.
>Why should anyone care.
Nobody really does. It's just seen as fabricating imaginary support which is more a way for a dev to deceive themselves than anyone else. When push comes to shove they will be shown to have less than half the number of supporters they claimed to have by samefagging. In some cases they're shown to have less than 1/4.
>>122600548
There were plenty of boards before /a/.
Original /b/ was pretty much /a/ though.
>>122600329
>Didn't even read your post after seeing the image.
Okay, /v/. If you've been a retard on here or built up genuine hate from the community and there's proof of it then you deserve what comes to you when you try being bigger than your britches in the future. You can try to act all proud of yourself for it or declare that it doesn't matter all you want. You better have built a genuine support base, though.
>>122600652
idk, i wasn't here since the start but it's what i know and i might be wrong, the point is that the weebs think they can do what they want just because 4chan was originally made for anime and the "normalfags" insulting them and making an stupid fight out of nothing
>>122600548
Moot literally said anime was shit and he didn't care about it, he knew it was a safe statement because the majority of 4chan doesn't care about anime either.
Weebs are dinosaurs, a dying breed like the angry permavirgins in r9k, they're just in denial that they belong on cripplechan or wizardchan now and that 80% or more of 4chan is normies.

Like you said? The fuck? That was my post not yours.
And like I said he only survived his 4chan reputation because he already had real followers and real support. He didn't just smear his face all over agdg and samefag his progress posts declaring himself to be cute and "well liked" ya dingus. When push comes to shove how many people really stand behind you? The number dwindles the more you degrade yourself.

I hope you have something better planned for yourself than a self-titled 2d pixel platformer, then. It's also a good idea to be free of drug addiction and be able to think clearly. It's also important not to build a mountain of negative karma by shitting on progress posts and propagating crab mentality from the community you try sprouting from as well.
So I wrote bitmap font system on top of SFML. It's working fine except for a small issue - texture bleeding. I figured it could be due to floating points so I overrode position methods to round the positions (pic related). And it has helped a bit (I had two very noticable and reproducible bleeding in my menu, with this rounding it goes away and I switched the code back and forth a few times to confirm). However I still get some bleeding with other labels (for instance I have cursor subtitle which bleeds as you move it). I tried disabling texture smoothing afterwards but that didn't help. The bleeding occurs only when moving the text object on the y axis. Any ideas what else could it be?
Which seems a more trendy topic right now:
Dungeon crawler or tactical shooter?

>using java
Eliminated "wall runs", replaced with "wall kicks" (a la Warframe, GunZ 2, and probably a bunch more)
When you latch onto a wall, instead of running, you slide (the trajectory is almost identical to what it was before, though there's a LITTLE bit of lateral friction now to make the curvature feel better when there's no running animation to suggest continual momentum)
Pressing jump (or dodge, as before, though jump is more convenient and intuitive) you'll kick off the wall. Kick anims alternate legs to sort-of-suggest running. This is just about the same as "bumping" wallruns before, really.
Where things change is at Armor Power 5, when your input direction goes from "deciding whether to run forward or backward" to "deciding which way to run" and you can control the amount of verticality, including just perpetually run-kicking straight up the wall vertically. More to the point, you can choose any angle in between (obviously not down, as holding away from the wall makes your "kick" into the old-fashioned wall jump) and scale the wall totally freely, which feels good.
Also, because the new run poses support facing the wall, you now have 360-degree aim while wallrunning; no more yaw-fighting when you aimed into the wall.
Crouching still triggers the old-style away-facing wall slide for the latch, and it's also used when wall kicking in 2D.

So my game is a top-down shooter that takes place 100 years from now where humanity is splicing animal DNA with its own genes to create more powerful humans. This has resulted in more powerful terrorist organizations combining their resources to build armies of insurgents who can transform from humans to powerful lizardmen at will. This makes them hard to detect in public and they have already infiltrated key areas of the free world.
The UN has put together a special task force to combat this growing threat, but instead of using cold-blooded lizards, they're using dogs (man's best friend) and wolves (man's best ally). Small teams of humans who can transform into powerful humanoid dogs/wolves are being deployed to these key areas.
Now, the thing is that this transformation technology, be them lizard-based DNA or dog-based DNA, all of it only works on female humans, not male humans. So all the transforming characters in the game are female.
Now, I know how AGDG is, you guys are going to shit all over this. I get it. Fair enough. But that's not why I'm telling you this. I'm not here for advice on the plot or quality of the story for the game.
I'm here to ask this question:
Now that you know the background of my game, and that this game lets you play as the 'dog' side of the conflict, would I still be labeled as misogynist if I called my game, 'Battle Bitches'? Should I call it something like 'Attack Dogs' instead? (Doesn't sound as catchy)

C game with lua scripting
logic operates on a fixed timestep of 60 ticks per second
update interpolates position to refresh rate of monitor
HOWEVER,
Textures loaded on the lua end are fucked up (might explain problem in this post or next if I need to)
When I try to check for collision with the world, I noticed some of the entities stop working; and it's only when I use the for statement to check the different tiles (regardless the number of tiles I check for in the for statement).
Here's some more information about my game in the order which the game runs:
1. game initializes input library
2. initializes scripting end
3. game loop has the logic loop and the draw loop (the former inside the game loop, the latter just inside the game loop)
4. logic loop does the following: 1. processes level and entities to internal structs, internal entities are then passed to the lua end as metatables; 2. handles the update functions of the entities on the lua end
5. draw loop draws the level tiles internally, calls the draw functions of the entities on the lua end
6. game ends
I have a feeling I am messing up hard somewhere in this. Maybe it's because i'm trying to have one end communicate with another within the confines of the logic loop. I need to go back to the drawing board, and figure out how to put the level on the lua side as well (it's a tile based map and I use expat to parse it). As for the textures, it might be because I have a struct array called GAMETEXTURE[256] and in each of those is an SDL_Texture, C might not like that shit.
tl;dr game is fucked somewhere, enjoy the image
any ideas?
>>122616785
Nothing sounds terribly wrong. I doubt Lua itself has anything to do with your messed up textures or tile problems.

>>122618167
What are you doing inside the loop? Seems fine to meAlso why not use C99 at least
>>122618370
i'm not compiling it with any specific C afaik, I can use //
the loop is to go through the tiles, where it checks for tile[z], being
>z = (ii * rightTile) + i;
if my math is correct
and will see if the hitbox touches any side of that specific tile
>>122617658
fuck off dog kid
>>122618647
Ah, there's your problem. It should be
>z = (ii * mapWidthInTiles) + i;
I made the C99 comment because you seem to be declaring all variables at the top of your function. Also it's more common to use a naming convention like i, j, k, ... for iterator variables.
Hourly reminder to exercise a little bit every hour.
>>122618794
>z = (ii * mapWidthInTiles) + i;
even without that (or anything else in the for loops), the two for loops together are what cause the issue

Just use a 1d array, it will be infinitely faster.
Use smaller numbers for your game world, its easier for the computer to calculate

but then how do I represent my data the way I want
a 2d array makes it easy to reference things like coordinates
Use smaller variable names so your program uses less memory! Time to start thinking like a professional!
>>122620163
Sure if you somehow got stuck in the 1980s

huh, I wrote it out with division before and hated the way it looks
thanks, I guess
>>122620642
Without any "meat" to it? The only possible explanation I can think of is that the loop (done for all entities), even not doing anything, is adding a significant amount of running time and somehow desynchronizing your logic across multiple threads. But that seems highly unlikely.

So uh, what are some ways to make a sprite transparent? The program I've been using has been making them transparent but for some reason the sprites aren't in the game.
>>122621245

>>122621363

I think you're in a bit over your head right now.
>>122621592
Yeah, I didn't think it was an engine but it's what I'm using
>>122621658
It's also not relevant that you're using it.
What exactly are you using to draw your sprites, since you're using Java? AWT? Swing? LibGDX? Something else?
>>122621785
I'm using AWT
>>122621584
I honestly can't see anything that you're doing incorrectly.I would advise against making your script deal with all the entities, anyways. Isn't that just boilerplate that will be the same across any system? Promote (or demote, whatever) that aspect to the native core.
>>122621974
I strongly encourage you not to do that if you don't want to kill yourself
use libgdx, or if you're just learning, processing is good too

>>122622260
Yeah but game development
Post progress
>>122622205
All I mean is this.
You currently have this:
C:
engine subsystems
Lua:
entity management
logic
What you should (probably) be doing is this:
C:
engine subsystems
entity management
Lua:
logic
It's not too difficult, just have some way for each entity (or entity prototype, whatever) to reference its own update and draw functions. You could even design it such that a given entity could either be implemented in C or in Lua and the system would accept both.
>>122622428
>I need other people to figure things out for me but I'm too good for this place
...
>>122622428
You'll never be dev if you're so bad at google that you ask on a forum centered on game dev for a better forum to talk about game dev
This is how you properly handle not making your fanbase furious at you for whatever reason http://existentialgamer.com/interview-toby-fox-of-undertale

>>122622881
heh... yeah... my fanbase..
>>122622598
the entity management part is where I get hung up, because I don't know how to communicate from C to Lua from that stage
> just have some way for each entity (or entity prototype, whatever) to reference its own update and draw functions
does that mean an individual state for each entity? thats probably resource intensive
>>122623265
>does that mean an individual state for each entity?
No, of course not. Just references to its methods and a table containing its data, which of course gets passed as the first argument to its methods. You can use the built-in registry table for stuff like that.
>>122622881
What is the point of the interviewer putting in the skipped questions with the comment "skip" besides clickbait?
>>122623557
yeah and I don't know how to do any of that, and I can't really find anything that shows me how either
>>122623701
Well, to me it just sounds like you're not skilled enough in programming to undertake building your own engine in C that's scripted in Lua. There aren't any tutorials for that for you to follow along with or people willing to coach you through the whole process, you have to just figure it out for yourself.
>>122623794
I am skilled in other things but I like to program as a hobby, so I will admit that.
But do you have an idea anywhere that I can look?

Well, I basically learned everything I know about stuff like engine architecture and Lua integration by just reading tons of material (articles, books, questions on Stack Overflow, etc.) about the subjects in general, as well as actually programming using what I've learned, in my spare time over the course of what I guess is a few years now.

Hey guys i'm diving into GameMaker and game making in general for the first time. Wish me luck!
is it even possible to get an understanding of a game like this?
no idea even what language the game is coded in, how to examine any of the dlls - and it's built on a custom engine to top things off
is that just off limits or is there a way to get under the skin?

>>122627105
If you think an art style is a genre of game you may need to rethink what you're making.
It does not matter what art style you're using as long as it looks good and functions with whatever genre of game you're making. As long as the player does not get confused or lost because of the art style then it's fine.

Can I get by with SDL if I only know C?
>>122628138
you could try looking on the ice pick lodge forums. i've seen a few tools on there to extract textures and modify the game a bit and things like that, maybe one of those things could lead you to finding something you want. it's been a long time, but i remember the devs being active on the forums at least at one point, maybe you'll find them talking about the engine somewhere too.

I feel shitty that my goal right now is to learn how to make a game before even worrying about making a good game.
I'm feeling good about my game. Still needs lots of work, but its starting to become the game I want it to be. Let's keep going forward everyone.

No one plays a game because it has good code. I've heard the cave story code described as an ungodly labyrinth.

I really just wanna make stuff others enjoy, but before just making *whatever* and vomiting it on the market, I want to make content for other games. But players of those games are autistic shitters who are terrible at everything, and it makes me question the worth of producing content, let alone standalone games, when the major complaints will be largely unreasonable and anything I'll be praised for will be secondary to the game (like "oh I really like this giant titty'd anime woman" or "sick VAPERWAIVE A E S T H E T I C (v '_`)v + u should put more chromatic abberation and pink/teal gradients")

eh, it's kinda hard to explain. It's an arcade-ish space game where you land on planets. When you select a planet you'll be able to see its basic stats alongside a map (this) which shows you the topography and any relevant stuff on the surface so you can pick a spot.
It will also have the day/night thing as knowing where it's day or night will be relevant to gameplay.
Hope you get the picture. Can't really think of any game to compare it to...
>>122631583
The only place I could think to find a full, working example of something like this is the source code of a game.
In any case, the way that you design your Lua integration is totally up to you and depends on what you need to do. It's just one of those things that you can't write a comprehensive tutorial or example for.
There's plenty of material out there about integrating Lua in general, so I'd suggest you start there and learn how Lua works at a fundamental level, since it's fundamentally designed to be used as an embedded scripting language and thus the entirety of it can interact with the C API.

>>122632594
An element of explosive reactive armour consists of a sheet or slab of high explosive sandwiched between two plates, typically metal, called the reactive or dynamic elements. On attack by a penetrating weapon, the explosive detonates, forcibly driving the metal plates apart to damage the penetrator. Against a shaped charge, the projected plates disrupt the metallic jet penetrator, effectively providing a greater path-length of material to be penetrated. Against a long rod penetrator, the projected plates serve to deflect and break up the rod.
Essentially all anti-tank munitions (with the exception of HESH) work by piercing the armour and killing the crew inside, disabling vital mechanical systems, or both. Reactive armour can be defeated with multiple hits in the same place, as by tandem-charge weapons, which fire two or more shaped charges in rapid succession. Without tandem charges, hitting the same spot twice is much more difficult.

>Share insecurities about yourself or your games
whenever I'd show anyone anything, they'd just shit on it relentelessly and never give any positive notes, but then cap it off by saying "but keep working on it"
clearly, I was always just being baited into showing my work just so I could be shit on for it, so I stopped even working on anything. every time I think "maybe I should work on things, I used to enjoy it" I remember the results of daring to do anything productive ever, let alone game dev crap.
this is before agdg as well, this shit would happen over steam and in real life.
>>122635102
Most people do not understand the nature of a productive, creative relationship. The most important thing is to be encouraging and supportive, always willing to experience something as it is. That's 90%. The other 10% is suggesting concrete, actionable ways to improve the thing.
To achieve this kind of relationship, which is important to have, is to embody these principles yourself. Then you will attract others like this.
If you look honestly at yourself I can guarantee you will see negativity, cynicism, bitterness, etc.. All things toxic to healthy relationships, especially creative ones which are especially tenuous. So clearly what needs to happen is personal growth that culminates in positive relationships. And what needs to stop is self-pity and self-loathing.
>>122634314
you just have to make it hard but fair
like DaS, HM, etc.
What game should I clone to be rich?
>>122634314
>>122635796
On the topic of DaS I think there's enough people out there who now enjoy being told or shown that they are shit at games (even if they're really just getting bad luck or falling to unavoidable traps) that you don't have to worry.
>>122635842
RoR
>>122634314
If you want to design games, you are talking about designing experience. And if you're trying to design experience, you have to understand experience.
And really, what people say is a horrible indicator of their experience. The average person simply does not understand their own experience, and are exponentially more helpless when trying to provide solutions. You need to look past what they say, to what they actually mean.
>complain everything is too hard
They feel overwhelmed with the amount of complexity. They feel that the game is unfair (they didn't have any resource to change their fate, the loss was arbitrary).
>they insist it be made easier
You can safely ignore 99% of what players suggest for "solutions". They don't know anything. It's YOUR job to find the correct solutions.
>they bitch that it's boring.
People WANT things to be hard, but they want to be good at things that are hard. It's your job to help guide them to being good. Through the system itself, or with additional systems like tutorials, or difficulty scaling, or whatever. Ultimately any skill based game is an accentuated way to give a person a sense of accomplishment and mastery. So do what it takes to guide the player into that feeling.
>>122635102
You get what you give. You can't expect positivity to come to you if you're just a ball of constant negativity bouncing around agdg all the time. Not even being anonymous can protect you from karma.

Pretty easy analogies to make between that and the game dev world. Hopoo is jacked for a reason. He didn't start spamming youtube "tutorial" videos after shitting out a couple flash games, he made games until one was a success. He didn't start trying to be e-famous with "look at me" facebook style posts on agdg after getting a few tumblr followers, he made games until one was a success.

Doing great in life and in dev work can basically be summed up by this:
You know that annoying little voice in your head that says that you "Can't do it" or "I'm Scared", "Bla bla bla wha wha whaaa". Dont listen to that voice, at all. Just. do. the. work.
Whats that? You just worked 8 hours on the game? Take a 5 min walk and work 8 more. Dont fucking think about shit that doesnt matter. If you want it bad enough, train your mind. Make your mind your bitch. I quit smoking simply by forcing myself to not fucking smoke a cigarette, and I was more addicted than a fucking meth head.

>You know that annoying little voice in your head that says that you "Can't do it" or "I'm Scared"

I know it was made in FL studio, and the creator basically imported his own piano and electric guitar recordings into the program. Other sounds are created in the program using the instrument filters.
As far as style goes, Toby likes to layer a BUNCH of fucking shit on top of eachother. Put on a good pair of headphones and listen carefully, theres a ton of shit going on in many of the songs and its actually slightly messy.
Try to make your own style, create from YOU. It will come out much better that way.

If you understand arrays you already understand pointers.
Memory is one big array.
Pointers are your indices.
Spoiler:Arrays are just pointers to the 1st element
is it ok if I liveblog my thoughts here?
Enginedevs like to kid themselves that they're more intelligent than Unity users but they're more like that kid who is making a racecar with cardboard boxes and refuses to sit down and learn how to operate a properly prebuilt system.
Astronauts like us Unitydevs are destined for the sky. Troglodytes like enginedevs are destined to stay in their dank smelly caves arguing about programming semantics and picking lint from their navel.

>>122641642
It wouldn't be this way if the average unity user was able to do more than a broken mashup of asset store code/assets.
>>122641752
Yeah keep singing that same old song. You can't make games in Unity via dragondrop, sorry but that's just a delusion you're clinging to.
I'm going over stuff I was doing a couple months and am astounded at how smart I am to have learned all this. Now I'm relearning it again no problem.
I'm super smart.
>>122641752
What's wrong, is your engine too shitty to allow people to make games as easily as they can with Unity? That's your fault.
>>122641903
>>122642064
Not even an enginedev, just pointing out the reason the unity stigma exists.
Most people that use those engines probably never touched programming before.
Those that did are able to make decent stuff and can transfer those skills to other engines, (excluding art because no one here can pay those $700 artists).
The average unity poster is showing webms of a jumping pill with default everything, it's the same thing that gives every RPG maker that RPG maker look.
>>122641642
This is what /agdg/ actually believes.
And if it were true, Source would be the best tool game development has ever seen.
>>122641752
Unity's ease of use is it's main source of bad rep.
The average dev is still equally competent, but the idiotic asset-flipping 12yo's are what you mainly hear about. They aren't the average user or the majority, they just get most media coverage due to jim fucking sterling son and similar folks.

>>122642350
>idiotic asset-flipping 12yo's are what you mainly hear about
True but they're rarely 12. They're usually mid 20s to mid 30s with learning disabilities. They stop trying to learn how to program new features after they get the basics of combat and health. Real gamedevs expand the game beyond that and can really start flying in Unity because they are intelligent enough to code the scripts for features like item pickups, game events and storyline triggers, unlockables, custom enemy AI, etc.
Geniuses like me.
> get most media coverage due to jim fucking sterling son
Also true except he has tried countless times to remind his audience that good games can still be made in Unity by smart people, even with assets.
Smart people like me.
whats a mixel.
>>122642776
Hey now, that's technically still pathfinding.
I've spent maybe 8 hours on the game total. I was hoping to just get some dirty passable pathing while I get everything else set up before I spend ages figuring out how the more complicated pathfinding algorithms work.

>>122643061
>actually make something
I sometimes try to do that, and then I remember the notes I've gotten on my work over the years, and then stop because nothing has ever been good enough and I'm fairly confident that nothing ever will be good enough.
In fact, the ERA thing was motivated by a much earlier and much more general concept of "What if bullet damage were nullified by actual armor on this guy but only in certain spots" and that too was rejected on the basis that it was both too hard to deal with as a casual player and yet also not challenging enough to be fun for anyone clever enough to use explosives or physics damage to get through the armor.
So, keeping the actually rather simple to rig ERA as an example, why bother doing it if it's already been rejected

I don't think I've ever had an actual job I've complained about, and I stayed with the navy long enough to move past "cornflake". dev is just that bad, gamers are just that bad, and nothing interesting is actually worth doing. even if you work in a restaurant and think "well maybe I should at least leave the sink clear at the end of the day and help out on the grill from time to time" you'll be proven time and time again that even if it's appreciated, ti's not useful to you. It's wasted time.

That's an understatement. He's the kind of pathetic motherfucker who spends all his time trying to make other people miserable than has faint moments of regret where instead of turning himself around he just goes back to crying about himself and how the world is to blame.

>>122644689
It's okay to have a drink but it's not okay for him to harass and stalk devs and shitpost here religiously only to get drunk later and try coaxing sympathy from the very people he harasses. That's not just childish that's a grown man being weak and pathetic. The world doesn't need weak pathetic bullies, and agdg doesn't need him here anymore.
You hear me, shitfam? Get the fuck out, bitch. You stink of shit and failure you weak, spineless, dev stalking, bullying little faggot ass nobody.
>>122644787
I'm not doing a strawpoll, but I will say that I think that you had the right idea with the original. These new simplified tiles look too flat.
Back to ignoring him like he deserves. But first a little going away present.
Physics based medieval melee card game? huhh???
>>122644787
I think the simplified, highlight-less art can work in certain areas, but not all over. Like in dark shadowed areas, I think it could look fine. Maybe try combining them in some way?
>>122644490

I'm doing it per-tile at the moment and using lerp to render between tiles but it seems wrong.
>>122645393
Yeah, very similar. Each player picks a card (or cards?), then they're both executed simultaneously for a short period of time before the simulation freezes again for the next turn
>>122645140
>>122645316
Thanks for the input, I'll try using the simplified look for background objects and see what happens.
>>122645065
I like how "players are shitty and I hate them and it makes devving not fun" somehow becomes stalking and doxxing and international terrorism
anyone who was thinking of doing any kind of indie dev should take this behaviour as a cue. It's not about what you make or what you post, it's about whatever retarded bullshit expectations the audience cooks up in their head that you failed to meet.
Yesterday it was "this road is too hard to turn down!" despite there being a clean line that doesn't even require turning once you clear a crest at like 40kmh, tonight it's "you stalked me irl and I have to sit up at night with my 'high powered rifles'!" and other genuine insanity.The worst part is that this schizoid bullshit isn't even new to me; I've seen it from other people IRL before and had to disprove shit with actual debit card purchase receipts and phone bill logs of texts and calls I'd made over months. Still wasn't good enough for some people. All audiences are shit. If they're not just autistic and expect too much of you, they're literally insane and suffer from paranoia and schizoid disorders and won't believe you when you say where you were the previous night, let alone appreciate your work towards anything.
Yeah that's right bitch go back to your sad little internet stalker routine. I'm not the one crying to strangers on the internet about what a massive failure I am, hahahaha. Goddamn you're pathetic. I gave you honest advice and all you did was remind me what a gutless coward nobody you are and inspire the same hate I always felt for your 2 digit IQ having ass. Go right back to stalking me you failed abortion waste of tax payer money. Good stuff, good stuff.
>>122645583
are you aware that you're blub blubbing to us about the same shit you have been for month?
and you keep accusing agdg of being schizo everytime we point out your shitposting
just fuck right off you literal waste of oxygen lmao
>>122634314
>>122636275
Yeah! Fuck players!
(Wait, who were we making this game for again?)
I mean, you can make the god-awful complexified super difficult challenge from hell, but your player base will be a tad limited.
If you're okay with that - only want you and a few hard core friends playing your game, fine. Otherwise, you must think a bit more about the c-c... (I can't say it...) CASUALS! (There! I said it!)
>>122645759
not that guy but desu im making a game for myself
So, if you make an endless runner do you move the world toward the player or the player itself? Maybe I should check some git repos
>>122645853
I imagine it's easier to move the player itself.
>>122602604
Is your game finished?
>>122645853
Instead of copying straight away, why don't you think about it for a second? If the world is randomly generated just outside the window border where is the player object going to move to if it's the object moving?
>>122645836
Oddly, if I were making my games for myself, I'd have to make them a lot easier.
On the other hand, I did once have a kid track down my sister at her work, because I nerfed his class. *sigh* Lotta psycho young gamers out there - might be better off writing for myself.

this is probably trolling and I'm sureactually I'm not sure and you might actually just be another insane personyou think you're doing some sikk trollingor you're not and actually did call the DHS at some point over anonymous posts in /vg/but people who behave like you actually exist in spades
you may be one of them, for all I know or care
I don't know who you think I am, where I am, or what I'm doing, but I also know that no amount of evidence can dissuade you from your beliefs so why bother even trying.

I want to make a monster boy quest rpg vn someday but right now my shitty art isn't going to cut it, I know there's 15 year olds on tumblr who can do better.
I tried everything but nothing worked. All I remember is that getting harsh comments/critique got me to where I am now. And I remember it was /vg/ and here that gave me the crit. /ic/ won't bother with me because I'm a weeaboo or something I don't know.
>>122647152
If pic related is your work, I think you'll do just fineexcept for the perspective on the plate and kettle what the fuck is this a joke
>>122647152
If that's your art go for it.
I'd play it as long as the boys are qt like that.
>>122647060
>some weirdo on the internet thinks I'm stalking them or otherwise the root of all problems in their life

>>122647152
that yours? not bad. but the perspective on the plate and kettle are kind of messed up, don't know exactly how they're holding it up like that. i find it surprising or unlikely that /ic/ wouldn't bother with you. they have stylization threads for this stuff you know. could i see more of your work?
>>122647353

>>122647313

>>122647328

It's because you're not copying, or referencing as they call it, 1:1 from a photograph or live model.

i think i'm done messing with this sprite, at least until i can get it ingame
>>122647387
pretty nice
>>122647605
I think I need to be more critical of myself when I draw
but I just need to balance it so it won't go too far/get myself too depressed to draw.
god damn I wish art was more simpler
>>122647403
You are not supposed to fap to your own stuff.
You can get better while working on a project. You can always do a better game later on.
Trying to be good enough to satisfy your own standards will get you nowhere, it's a vicious cycle. You get better and then your standards get higher and then your work will always be shit in your eyes.
Just do it.
>>122647556
Your faces are good, bodies need some work, but I can see a lot of people liking the style.
>>122647787

?????
>>122647556
nothing wrong with that drawing
but the basic rule is to make realistic anatomy first before you begin to stylize it.
in anime humanoids are almost 1:1 with actual humans only in slightly exaggerated proportions
>>122647334
this but unironically
>>122647963
I need to draw more realistic figures
I end up stylizing them a bit because I'm lazy
I'll do my best
thanks guysmonster boy quest someday
>>122647680
Your large sprite on the right feels pillow-shadey... I know it's literally not pillow shading, but it gives me that feeling for some reason.
In conclusion: Sorry for feedback that is no doubt useless.
>>122644787
are those just colorswapped tiles from mario 3 and smw
>>122647556
study some perspective and draw a shit ton of boxes. draw from life too, do a lot of single objects and first draw them as simplified into rectangular prisms to get a better grasp of how perspective "feels". it's important to do it from life, from 3d, to get that feeling. look at drawabox or something, do some of the stuff there. once you really grasp perspective, learning other shit like anatomy or lighting&value, even gesture and stuff is easier .
i would say you should try to make your project, and just keep making content for it. this is actually a good way to force yourself to learn stuff because you'll find you need something which is hard to do for you, and you'll need to learn how to do it. if you try hard and don't quite like the results of something, just consider it a placeholder to change later and keep going.
I'm going to make a monster girl island clone because I saw the dev making money
>>122648053

You didn't even solve the nosiness problem in the "simplified" side. It's the wild swinging between light and dark all over. Sure you reduced the detail which might be a step in the right direction, but it's not enough.

How the hell do you make freeform character development balanced?
>>122649080
divide 4 skills into a total sum and randomize it
just randomize your whole fuckin game

You just change the names and add some more shit / granularity on top so players don't break it down and cry about it, even though it's a solid cornerstone of balance.

Don't use pixel art
Don't use unity for pixel art games
Go through a ton of annoying steps to get unity pixel perfect
pick any of the above
pick one for sidescroller non-colliding enemies
a) enemies are drawn in front of the player
b) enemies are drawn behind the player
c) enemies which are smaller than the player are drawn in front of the player and the rest are drawn behind
>>122649226
No thanks. I'll stick to RNG.
>>122649508

>>122649492
d) 2d games are deprecated
>>122649080

>>122602075
it literally wasnt moderated
it was a mess
whether your game got cerfified or not relied on if you got the 12 year olds learning to code to think your part of their gang
>>122649492
b
Or you can do what fighting games do, whichever one hit last is drawn in front
So if an enemy hits the player it's in front, then if the player hits back the player is in front
>>122649401
this, sort of.
>>122649352
If this is unity, it is not really hard to fix, but it could be quite time consuming and unintuitive. You have to your materials filter to Point in every texture that you have, and disable Generate Mip Maps.
