First for anime, waifu games and cute anime girls
why should i use ue4 over unity? It has better lights but thats about it
What are you working on today?
>>123544970
it's hella dope
>>123544970
For me, the choice was easy.C++ is better without any exception.
So i'm not sure if i want to finish my jam game knowing that like only 2 people will play it and thenafter the jam it will never be touched again.. seems like wasted effort tbqh
>>123545146
well that ain't appropriate
![8412248[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ru3lCXB.jpg "8412248[2].jpg")
Speaking of Ue4, are there any safe ways to update a project from 4.9 to 4.10?
Trying to not run into any problems.
>>123545116
Actually c++ is one huge negative of the UE4, which turns most devs away from it, since c# is much cleaner and much much faster to dev games in, which means the dev takes less time and money, that is why ue4s deperate attempts to snatch unitys user base failed
>>123545194
Prove It
>>123545157
To be quite honest with you, no matter how much time you put in, only two people are going to play your shitty game, because you're shit and people can tell.
Might as well do it in a week with an easy theme just to get it over with.
>>123545157
think of it as a personal challenge or a fun little project. we're making games for ourselves , after all
H-RPGs on RPG Maker seems to be picking up. Has anyone ever hired an okay artist for cg related work? I think it's gonna cost me like 1k or something, and the return might not even be good. even if the game is decent, considering most people pirate H-RPGs.
What do you guys think?
>>123545276
if your game is shit then it's ok, but what hurts the most is if your game is good and you see a game that is actual shit to get 100x times more attention
>>123545246
I like the negativity here.
Maybe for people that have never used c++ before making the switch is harder, but I feel much more comfortable in c++ over c# knowing both.
The code is always much more deliberate, much less prone to bugs, and requires quite a few less workarounds.
I really shouldn't waste my time arguing with you because
>C++ - huge negative
>c# much cleaner and much faster to dev in
>dev takes less time/money because of language
>ue4's desperate attempt to 'snatch'
Yeah, no civil discussion to be had there.
>>123545216
I personally didn't have anything affected jumping from 4.9 -> 4.10
I heard that (as usual) blueprint users had a couple random problems, but mostly due to the new automatic blueprint node arrangement screwing with things.
>>123545380
draw it yourself
>>123545416
>I heard that (as usual) blueprint users had a couple random problems
Welp, guess I'll just hold my breath.
I really should get around to learning C++
>>123545459
I literally don't know how to draw.
I can barely draw a 3d cube, or something with a non plain perspective.
>>123545157
Jams are for learning/having fun/prototyping, not for making your big game or getting attention.
>>123545416
>Yeah, no civil discussion to be had there.
It's probably MothDan rabidly defending his engine of choice. You know how upset he gets about that sort of thing.
>>123545416
notch made billions with a simple game in java which is basically c#
hopo made millions with a simple game in gm script which is kind of like c#
xxxxxx thoudsand amount of devs made from zero to a thousand tops on their games made with c++, only huge game companies turn mediocre profits from their c++ games
But go on, keep in your autistic denial if you want, less competition for me
this thread sucks, go to the other one
>>123545548
More please. I am collecting an album of hate for my collage.
Only connection my game will have with /agdg/ is when I come back and post the collage with sales numbers. No name, no progress, no content.
>thinking any end user actually gives a shit what engine you used, let alone what language it uses
>>123545630
why can't we all love each other?;_;
also if any of you niggers talk shit about Cats Don't Dance im gonna fuck you up i swear to g*d
>>123545548
ror and minecraft are shit
>>123545660
It's not about that, it's about the fact that good, fast, simple languages like c# doesn't hinder the creativity of a dev by forcing him to spend years on making one of his ideas and instead allow him to omplement all of his ideafag stuff in 4 months instead, and thus have more content, more mechanics and that DOES matter to the player alot.
>>123545782
notch and hopoo can't hear you over the sound of supermodels facesitting them
>>123545732
>6.9/10
Kind of sounds like the movie talks shit about itself.
>>123545886
Watch it... bub!?
Suppose I wrote an entire design document, with gameplay mechanics detailed, an entire story written out, all levels planned, all that.
How hard would it be to find someone to program it and an artist to make it pretty? How much would it cost out of my pocket?
here's my million dollar idea:
ftl but you're a pirate ship in 1650
>>123546136

>>123546224

There isn't actually a school that teaches you about screen resolutions. That was a joke.

here's my meme game http://memeshoveller.vidya.space/
give me a game idea or the anime you're looking forward to the most will be cancelled
>>123547810
lmao that's so ridiculously hard to control
>C# substring is startingIndex, length
>not startingIndex, endingIndex
Well there's a ton of my issues
>>123547810
>http://memeshoveller.vidya.space/
A fine example of the capabilities of the Unity™ engine.
>>123547810
124
>>123548232
Highest score I know of is ~300
>>123548315
Is there actually a way to control that shit properly or did they just get lucky?
>>123548439
pure luck, trash gives most points and the launch angle has a slight variance.
Fixed words jumping to the next line
Was a much larger undertaking than I had hoped for.
Whole thing scales if I wanna change the number of lines and size
Should be able to take any string, though I'll probably only feed it normal strings with spaces, but here it handles new lines as well
>>123549335
How did you manage to fix the problem of words jumping to the next line when they become too big? Hit the same problem on my dialogue boxes.
>>123549435
it's a cluster fuck
http://pastebin.com/MF2id5mX
but basically I do a bunch of checks to see if there's white space
I put some comments in it, ask me any questions
My other class is http://pastebin.com/mCMXXw01 which just gives me how much of the current string I want based off a Speed per letter I have set
The stopwatch is a custom class of mine that basically just tells me "How long has it been since Start was called in seconds?"
>>123549335
i know processing strings sucks but this needs to be more dynamic
large sentences need to automatically scale your fontsize down so they can fit on a single card. small sentences need to automatically scale your fontsize up etc. also, random newlines after single words are bad.
>>123549435
Not him, but you can just check the length of the next word before you start drawing it...
>>123549652
That example I literally copy pasted lyrics off a website to test how it handled new line characters.
If you give it a single long string with no new lines, it'll do the new lines for you and let you click to view the next box. At about 3 seconds is a good example of all 3 lines filled properly.
If you mean something else please clarify. I don't intend to scale a string that says "Hello" to the whole box
>>123549668
It's a bit different in Unity
You have to check how much text is visibly rendered within a Rect object given a Configuration (font size, font, etc)
>>123549652
>Variable font size
Sure, if you want everyone to think you're mentally handicapped.
>>123549909
Well, right. I mean that too actually. My library has a GetWidth function, you feed it the font and the string and it tells you how wide a string is.
>>123549652
Variable font sizes have a place, but generally not in games because you want a consistent style. It will look really wonky if you're frequently changing the text size.
>>123549562
I used a coroutine instead of a custom class, boiled it down to a lot less lines (though my text still jumps to new lines).
>>123549335
Did some testing, still some bugs.
The string "This is a sign." gets a new line between 'a' and 'sign'
For anyone using that code, beware
>>123550056
I had something with much less lines that had that same behaviour, but I really wanna get rid of that since it'll be super annoying if there's a ton of text in the game.
>>123550181
Simple issue. "IsNextCharacterWhitespace" the if statement there should return 'true' and the comment should say that it is whitespace if there are no characters next
be careful when you play with curves kids
>>123550285
How about manually separating each set of lines?
the difference between a cooldown that's just no fun and a cooldown that's obnoxious enough to be played around is very small
>>123550583
cooldowns are offensive
invent something retards can utilize
if you're making your player walk, provide incentive not to walk
>>123550493
Not really an option. If I change the font/font size/text box dimensions, then all my strings are ruined, and I could have hundreds of them.
I already have the solution though. Doing some ghetto string parsing is hardly an expensive task for a computer so I'm okay with it, and it's "decently" done out.
I'll probably clean it up as I add more features since I still need to add
>Dialog options like yes/no/text~ with function callbacks (gonna need to do some designing since this will play into other parts of the game)
>Ability to override speed of the text so that it's instant if I want to (for anything like a signpost that doesn't need to scroll at the user's selected speed)
>Easily modify sprite backing image in the editor
>Add a blinking indicator when the current text is done displaying and there's more to display, but the user needs to hit 'submit' to see more
>Add options for Character portraits and names on either side of the dialog for "RPG" feel
consistent and clean design can be very decadent
>>123550583
Thanks mr jobs, love you mr jobs!
Does anyone have any progress they would like to share with the thread?
>>123550653
Why offensive? Because you have to wait? They push you to do other things / not just spam without thinking.
>>123551798
Not really. I'm doing graphics.
>>123551798
Shit's going so slow, I thought I would have banged out like 100 of these by now. And they're crap, yes I know.
>>123551892
Is that a joke? AGDG has the weirdest fucking ideas.
>>123551935
it's probably a salty code monkey, but anyways why are you making this are you russian?

I've been 'learning' 3D since 2003.
I'm just not very good at modelling people.

Why there's 3 agdg threads?

I'm on exactly same boat.

Yes.
>>123552598
Being competent at just one thing doesn't feel too good either. Relying on others and getting burned sucks though.Even if you think you're thoroughly mediocre your work is still important enough to push to source control.
>>123552469
I'm trying. But it's hard. Everything looks wrong.
should we make a workroom on jovafile

48 people played the last jam game I made.
And honestly jams are good for practice more than anything else, it gives you a hard deadline for you to make something with. Also if you happen to make something really fun you could translate it to a whole game later on. There's a few indie games that have been spawned from jam games.
1 person played my game!
>>123557132
Oh no, is baby triggered by a strawpoll?? :((
You can add it to your filter.
>>123557521
Which one?
>>123557530
I'd have to make a poll to make sure the majority of the shitposting community agrees before I make a decision like that.

How do I come up with a catchy name for my game? Should it be an aliteration, with a 3 letter abbreviation or what?
>>123561993
Super long titles are in right now.
>>123561993
What is your game?
>>123561993
depends on the game and the mood of it
>>123561691
Aseprite for 2D
Blender for 3D (I'm still learning 3D, haven't actually animated it yet)
>>123561907
>What did you name them?
2dere and 3dere
>>123561907
>I'll check it out. Is there any animation software that supports tablets and stylus?
>I'd love to be able to hand draw my animations even if I suck at drawing.
i mean, if you want to make pixel art pretty much any program can do because you only need to use the stylus like a mouse. pressure doesn't help you much there
photoshop has support for pressure etc and it has an animation feature. it's more complicated because it's more general, though
>>123562371
True that, I suck at art but I got a tablet as a gift so it doesn't really matter if I mouse or stylus it.
>>123561691

Pyxel

Maya

How much memory usage is too much?
I don't want my game to be bloated.
>>123561895
Looks neat. What does the API look like for programming the sequences?
>>123562539
Unless you have to write low-level code for mesh loading, texturing and rendering you won't probably have won't have that much trouble.
I wrote MD2-loader. Textures, animations, mesh correct, normals fucked up beyond recognition.
>>123562679
the average retard has about 4 gigs of ram
so under 1gig if possible 2 at the most
>>123562679
Most people on the steam survey have 8GB
>>123562679
allocate as much memory as you can until you catch a std::bad_alloc
>>123562723
Not too bad. Better than I did in the last game where I pre-programmed the special behaviors.
Radial patterns like these are super-easy to work with anyway.
>>123562679
What you need, 2 gigs at very most.
How do i into multiplayer?
I created a few 2d games from scratch before, but i have no idea how to go about doing multiplayer.
I assume things like gameplay affecting physics and ai are done on the server and then the positions are send to the clients?
>>123562973
I will end you
>>123562973
It's better to have to much memory than to few, right?
Just allocate one giant array, to have as little fragmentation as possible.
>>123563225
Yeah, a good method is to just send keypresses to the server, and have it send back positions rotations scale etc. If it is laggy, then you should use prediction, so you see your character move right on the keypress even if you arent actuallu moving for a split second.
Or you can buy my server client system and I'll set it up for you. ;)

Oh sweet, then I'm in the clear. I'm working with almost 100 MB at the moment (though this is before adding sprites and sounds, but after looking over their sizes, that should only be an addition few hundred megs.
Thanks!
>>123563545
Predictions are pretty important in lot of games ( action games ). There are some commercial prediction-algorithms around, although they need to be adjusted to the game.
And out of that, other thing is compressing the data. Instead of sending keypresses, send bytes where each bit represents an action ( 1st byte, left, 2nd right, 3rd up, etc. ). Although that would be pretty small effect, since minimum package size is 41 bytes anyway.
what do you think of this as an idle animation?

Cool trogdor

Nice croc, dude.
Now to figure out how to animate this bitch.

hi jim
Should I learn how to make games in C# or learn just enough C# then goto unity?
i have a really soft spot for "bad 90s 3D graphics", but im worried it will alienate almost all gamers.. what do?
i don't even really play these games or think they're amazing, but they do stand alone to me as a kind of art. just so absurd, so abstract and simplified, theres a shitload of charm and existential nightmare fuel in there to be cool.
>>123565861
just learn as you go.
>>123552469
"modeling people" takes years to get right
there is no magical fairy here
>>123565887
I'm with you, anon.
Yes, it will alienate your players
But I love it.
There's this shooter, strafe, which is going for a modernized version of this style, and lots of people like it
>>123565861
if you know how to program abstractly you can just google what you need as you go
if you don't know how to program at all, do that first
>>123566180
not that guy, but I don't really like how strafe is inconsistent with things it does "old school", the whole thing ends up looking quite inconsistent to me
no game ever looked anything like it
>>123557668
look at double action boogaloo, add sweet ninjaflip movement system
>>123566518
>>123566180
strafe looks like shit to me. modern games always try to "cartoonize" the style to save from uncanny valley, but the uncanny valley of old games was what gave them most of their atmosphere imo.. its this weird feeling you can't put your finger on, and it makes you feel like you're in another world which has depth beyond your explanation like some kind of cosmic horror (play Tomb Raider 1.. the lack of music is damn near Kubrick-esque in places)
>>123566172
Maybe you're born without talent?
started playing through xenogears and i really want to make a low poly zone of the enders style game now
>>123567540
You can't, because you chose to write a blog post instead of actually making it and posting progress.
>>123567540
>playing video games
not gonna make it
>>123567757
>never playing games
not gonna make it
as long as he analyzed the game design thoroughly and didn't waste 10 hours on it, he'll be fine.
>>123549335
I am a scrub when it comes to shit like that. What file type are you reading your text from? Or do you have every line of text in a single c# script?
>>123557668
Looks like some warped Spirit Bomb attack.
>>123561993
Use something from 3-5 Syllables, 3 Syllable titles are the most common though.
It has to feel fluent when you speak it out loud. Always check for different synonyms of words you want to use in a title, uncommon words sound better most of the time. Try to make a wordplay with something relevant to your story/game, in a subtle way.
I'm doing something that will change games forever, you will never have to make an ass out of triangles again is all im going to say.
