Good afternoon agdg
How is your jam game coming along?
This thread is haunted by mothdan.
third for where's you're engine?
>>125372647
no jam just real stuff
>>125372647
Almost done. I'm so gonna win this ludum
Fourth for nodevs should fuck off
>>125372647
good, just got to make the enemies stop acting stupid
>that musicbro shoah last thread
>no new links in OP
>>125372693
I'll make progress over break, I swear
I can change, Anonymous! Please dont leave me again
>>125372864
desu i'm musically retarded and that site doesn't produce anything good
jukedeck does but it all sounds the same and there's no variety
thought i could escape the hell of having to deal with musicjews but /agdg/ tricked me
>>125373027
>musicjews
where the fuck have you been looking for musicians
Say I have a terrain shader with some textures and I have a per vertex weight for for each.
But in a lot of instances this weight is 1 for 1-2 of these textures and 0 for others. Is the shader smart enough to avoid lookups if it has something like weight * textur2D(blablup, xy) when weight is 0 or do I need to prevent this somehow?
I have some performance issues on things with this shader (ie the terrain) when playing my game onmy phone
>>125372864
>http://www.fakemusicgenerator.com
musicbros are extinct
>>125372693
It's not very convincing when you try to impersonate someone smarter than you. Try typing like an adult.
Whatever warpath you're on right now
>>125372663
it's not going to get you anywhere. I told you the same thing months ago and now look where you're at.
>everything fits
my autism is happy
Hit that report button for great progress!
>>125372531
>no anime in OP
Its fine, I wasnt planning on posting progress anyways ~~
>4 hours to go
Time to grind.
>>125370478
I know people are laughing about Musicfriends killing themselves but if you're serious with your Animal Crossing Type Game you should check out ThleVes his shit would go so well with your theme.

for fucks sake
>>125373027
>musicjews
what
aren't musicbros willing to work for free?
>>125371250
What is the game?
>>125373574
this, all musicbros i've encountered have worked for free, and have been bro about it
>>125373148
When will programmers kill artbros as well?
Thats the day I actually get progress done.
mfw I found Mothdan's youtube channel
mfw he ACTUALLY believes in paranormal shit and that bigfoot actually exists
Is there a more retarded tripfag on agdg?
>>125374374
Is that the yesdev who clucked 4chan for Reddit?
>>125373027
tell me what you need.
Ive got a couple of hours to workfor free
since pic related wont be finished for a while

Keep devving.
Life goes on and losing someone is only as hard as you make it for yourself, often the person dying is more at ease than the relatives.

this is CANCER
>>125375253
... this one goes to the fight against cancer. Fuck you Cancer!
>>125373140
To answer my own question: No its not smart enough. Is there some kind of bit trick to avoid calculation y in x * y if x is 0?
I am currently doing a simple if (x > 0.0) check but I was told I should avoid if statements in fragment shaders.
>>125374374
You gonna show us or not?
>>125373140
>>125375404
I can almost guarantee that doing the texture lookup inside the branch will be slower than just doing the texture lookup. What you need to do is somehow predicate WHICH texture you sample. So use a texture array, and have each vertex have N weights and N indices.
>>125375098
>>125375559
He's scared.
>>125374806
welp good luck anon.
i believe in your ability to handle the situation, even if its not easy.
>>125374748
Played it for 5 minutes, review time.
+ not a clone, somewhat original idea
+ it runs well
+ nice music
+ feels nice, being hit feels really powerful
- bad audio effects for some stuff like that machine gun thing and the radio static type sound
- no tutorial, player has to guess what to do and even why to do it
Overall its pretty good considering its scope and the time limit, I like it. Good job, anon. You should be happy with yourself.

WHY DOES THE HAND ALWAYS THROW DOWN THE SAME PIECE???????
>>125377606
that hand is trippy af
>>125377606
Love those hands haha. You entering the jam with this?
>>125377771
It worked for me
Look at this beautiful picture of my engine ;^)
MAJOR demo-related progress today:
Visual options!
We now support a full array of visual options, which is a super-necessary step for releasing a demo since I know some of you guys are playing on toasters.
We support general settings (fullscreen, gamma, etc), allow you to adjust the camera follow distance for normal mode, gun mode, and 2D mode, have a number of scalability settings (draw distance, antialiasing quality, etc., all on a scale from Low to Cuhrayzee, as well as disabling motion blur and bloom, and and over/undersampling slider)
In addition, there are a number of interface settings. You can scale the HUD, disable the various elements, scale the aiming reticle separately, disable pop-up hints and, by popular demand, disable Comic FX (the word-bubble effects that player actions sometimes trigger).
Known issues right now:
- You cannot set the native resolution properly. This is trivial to support but I still need to make a two-field resolution entry box for the menu itself.
- Currently, visual settings and control schema are tied. This is normally not a big deal but if you try to use a control config save, it will carry the visual options with it. I can fix this but it will take some fiddling.
- The gamma setting has no suggestion-slider function for correct placement (i.e. "adjust the slider until the icon is JUST visible")
- Currently I don't have a delayed "Keep these settings?" box, seems like there must be some reason all games include it.
Up next: Pause Menu Move List for reference.
I actually did it. Completed my first game jam. Thanks for the feedback in steamchat peeps.

Go play them!
Congratulations to everyone who finished a game!
>>125378057
Just me... I should probably say "I". I just use, like, the Royal We to refer to the development of the game, or something.
IDK, it's a habit I picked up and I never really let it go.

It isn't very obvious that clicking the title bar of the window closes them
>>125378419
Sure! I'd love anything - also if you want to make any sound effects, those are needed too.
0-3 work on art
4-6 change my sleep scheludes so I'm awake when there is no shitpost drama
7-9 look for another hobby
Maybe instead of trying to terrorize agdg some more because things didn't go your way again you could just you know. Leave?
>>125378560
the hands needs the "uurrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRUNK!" cartoon sound effect
if you don't know the one i'm thinking of i can probably find a clip
>>125378561
Damn it I was hoping for change of hobby or at least less drama
>>125378560
I'm terrible with sound effects, though.
Do we come up with an idea for a game first? or come up with the art for a game first or an idea for a game first?
>>125378759
3, you can't come up with the art without a theme if you start working on art the idea will pop up
>>125378878
I can paint, 3d model and program (I've done it for years). Can't come up with ideas for single player games :(

You can also use the backspace key, the B button, etc. to close.
Also you can click on a different window to open it and close the current one.
Just playing with a number of different, possibly intuitive, menu approaches.
If the demo reveals it confuses a lot of people I can always do key-prompts as well.

Lol keep dreaming, the future will be ours
Hello there, I wanted to ask for some advice regarding a certain topic.
I wanted to create a small little game about girls and our relationship with clothes as I make documentary films revolving around this theme. I had this idea for a little free dress up style game where you are presented with an illustration of a little naked person who is very lightly animated. Surrounding this person are these cut outs of clothes that slowly glide and bounce around the screen, and when you click and drag them onto the person, audio plays from various women like in my films, talking about how certain clothes make them feel. Drag the maxi dress onto her and audio will play of a person talking about why they like to wear a maxi dress, blah blah blah. They will be lightly animated to do a pose, maybe smile. You get it.
I was wondering what kind of software I would use to create this little thing, thank you.
Game Maker im assuming.
>>125382940

I'm new to Ludum Dare
Is "submission hour" an extra hour after the deadline where you can't continue to work on the game and can only submit it?
I'll probably get it in before, but do I HAVE to have it in by the deadline and then I can just edit the description and shit during the submission hour?
>>125371913
>>125362173
Progress!
BEHOLD
It is now day eight of my learn2program thing and I have created this masterpiece
>>125383531
You have an extra hour. To package your stuff and shit. Everyone uses it to finish their broken-ass games tho.
So yeah, you effectively have 49 or 73 hours.
So there is this Unity plugin that turns 2d sprites into 3d objects.
Is this enough to make you shits stop being afraid of 3d?
>>125383734
Can anyone tell me why it breaks when I comment out the line in pic related?
>>125381864
probably there were lots of those in the crop fields
>>125383734
>>125383953
pic related is what happens when I comment out that line
It shouldn't be necessary as far as I know but it is :/
anyone know why?
>>125383953
looks like visibleGrid[x][y] would be null if you didn't do that
having it in there is fine what's the prob
>>125383531
Submit your game first and worry about touchups later, there is a clause in the rules that you can fix bugs after submitting but you're supposed to keep a changelog of that.
>>125383946
that looks fucking awful. no thanks

>>125381864
>memes in medieval art
>>125383946
is there a plugin that makes it not look like shit?
>>125384273
It seems like that ought to be populated by the "repeated value" part of the code
>>125381864
who the fuck came up with that writing style it's completely illegible

Not if you were educated

>>125384273
this guy is right >>125384468
that's why I'm confused. It's only really an issue because I want to learn and understand what I'm doing. I'm happy that it works at all but I don't want to waste time in the future making similarly dumb mistakes
>>125384393
You are the plugin.
>>125384542
translate it for us then
I'm installing unity. It is taking ages.
What is the best setting in unity for handpainted look?
>>125372531
Been working on animating this cement mixer for like 7 hours and all the fine detail is bairly noticable at full screen, oh well
hows my art coming along? i know the spikes are off ive not done them properly yet
>>125384606
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbB-mICjkQM
>>125384596
It feels like an issue I had when moving from C++ to python.
It works if you create each object separately - are you sure that the "repeatedValue" creates a new object, which is identical to the copied one rather than just referencing it?
>>125384934
I filled another 2d array like that with bools (false) and it worked just fine, so I.. don't know
I literally just started coding so I really don't know what the fuck I'm doing
>>125384834
The cement mixer looks good
Its oddly specific though, like is it all this effort for a piece that will only appear once in your game?
now with title screen
>>125384548
>get in contact with musician
Ask for a demo
>no problem bro, I just need an hour
>what
>yeah just an hour
>ok
>sends me song
>doesn't work on song anymore
>wants to make another song since its finished
>don't hear from him ever again
>>125366757
no i was following a video. idk i think the model is okay i guess for what i need. shes only going to be visible on like 5% of the screen the issue is mostly the weight paints i think. idk whats going on
i mean if theres a better guide somewhere i would appreciate it
>>125382940
So pretty much kisekae?
>>125384934
>rather than just referencing it?
this anon could be right, the docs make it sound like the repeated value is just pasted in rather than a new one being generated each time.
>>125385045
>I filled another 2d array like that with bools (false) and it worked just fine
That might be because bools are a primitive. Possibly whats going on is all your array elements DO point to a UI element, its just that they all point to the SAME UI element. And the what the line of code is doing is setting each element to a new, distinct one.
>>125385426
There was definitely a problem with the rigging, the arms got flat when bending. You should consider starting over
Did the PS1 do any lighting calculation?
Got some work done on the reactive soundtrack.
The webm loses sync pretty much immediately but the wub is synced to the missile's engine.
It's pretty fun to just jam with this thing desu

Didn't work at all today
I need to get back in the horse
>>125385719
Thank you for the insight
>>125385808
what do you mean the rigging
modelling or weight painting?
>>125385061
No the cement mixer is the checkpoint for one of the teams and will pretty much be in every level so i had to make it look at least half decent, its a multiplayer game im working on, hopefully il get an alpha out to test everything soonish
also can anyone think of a good alternative for the other players team? the cement mixer team are make of concrete and the other team is made of clay
>>125385287
i made and sent a bunch of tracks, and had a few more i was working on, before it hit me that he hadn't talked to me in a month. it's a fucking bummer.
>>125384351
regardless those were the elements of the environment that surrounded them. why would they not draw them?
Astar with some overlays, area of available movement when you select the guy and then one that follows your mouse.
their movement is affected by the terrain, as an example, the red squares are impassable and the green ones take twice of effort to move across them
>>125386956
This is what I don't get. You still own your music don't you? If a project falls off each person owns what they made so what's the problem?
>>125387927
i'm just a musician, not a dude who specifically makes music for games. i spent a whole shitload of time making energetic videogamey music with context-sensitive variations and layers.
>>125387927
>so what's the problem?
Maybe that they got themselves hyped up and poured their feels into making something they thought would be enjoyed by players and add to the game, but in the dev didn't appreciate their effort enough to even accept something that was basically a gift
just guessing, not a musicbro
>>125388404
>context-sensitive variations
Do many musicians know how to do this? Its such a cool thing when it happens in a game, but it also seems pretty rare
>>125388404
Was the music made according to a story? Was the art pixelshit? Can your music not fit any other game?
>>125388425
Post your music and I will enjoy it. If it can't be enjoyed without a game it wasn't very good to begin with
>>125387927
I'm not even a good musician, but I've made lots of songs for /agdg/ peeps, and believe me when I say that I try my hardest to make something that not only suits the game, but that complements it. If I make a song for your game, it's that game's song. Yeah, I can put it in my portfolio, but no one else can have it.
>>125388587
I love doing this, but sometimes devs will tell me no because of the extra work.and in one case the engine couldn't handle simultaneous streaming sources
>>125388928

nice shaders
>>125386146
This sounds pretty cool already, just needs more variation
>>125388882
I get that you want to make a good product and stuff but if you want to work with Indies then you need to expect 7 out of 10 projects to fail. If you can't salvage your work then 70% of it is useless
>>125388587
>Do many musicians know how to do this
i feel like it's not a matter of whether the person doing the music knows how to, more along the lines of, does the dev want to go through the trouble of coding it all in or whatever.
>>125388592
it was totally tailored for the game's flow. i'd say yeah, couldn't really fit any other game.
>>125388736
i think you meant to reply to me, but do you mean my own music or the music for the game? because like i said, it's all context-sensitive bits meant to go along with gameplay, not linear songs. can't really just slap it up on soundcloud.
>>125388928
that's not out is it
>>125388928
what the fuck anon
good job
>>125388928
it looked good on the "terminal" text, but actually in a game this looks fucking awful.
You're getting possitive replies though, I guess it's a meme.
>>125389173
But almost every game is just a copy of something else or just following the rules of a genere. I don't see how your music can't fit a similar game unless you got picked to make the shovel knight lost or something
>>125388736
>If it can't be enjoyed without a game it wasn't very good to begin with
If the individual sprites in your game can't be enjoyed as whole and complete works of static art, it's not very good to begin with.
If I can't sit down and read and enjoy your game's source code from beginning to end like a novel, with no knowledge of programming, it's shit code and needs to be rewritten.
>>125389524
>if the art of the game doesn't look good on its own and its something that every other programmer would reject then you did a worthless job. If a project fails the artists gets his art and can use it for something else, the musician gets his music and the programmer gets his code and is free to get another artist and musician and start another project that is it
Trying primary melee weapons. Would it be too much if hitting it at the right time reflected bullets back?
>>125389505
nah dude, i get what you're saying, but i wanted the music to compliment everything specific about that game. i didn't want to halfass it and end up with generic one-size-fits-all public domain-sounding music. that's always been a pet peeve of mine when it comes to video games.
>>125389751
There is no contract. Anyone can bail at any point and anyone can be replaced. You own what you made
>>125389852
That looks fucking amazing
I-is there any way you could give me a brief timeline of how you learned to dev?

>>125389906
Animaguchi released an album. You should focus on making good music first and not making good music for the game. Other people can't be your ride to success and that's what musicians don't get
>>125390071
As an amateur of overall freelance you should understand that no contract means no obligation. If you think you have the right to someone's art for your game after he told you no you are a scumbag,

please tone down the rave flashing
>>125390238
uh, okay? i've put a bunch of albums out already. i just wanted to make music for a game, and then the dev disappeared. you're making lots of weird assumptions and i think you might have wandered into the middle of the conversation without realizing what it was about.
even - dev
odd - fap
>>125390709
I'm giving you general advice that most musicians who wonder here could use. I'm not your mother, I don't have the time to pander to your especial situation
>>125388928
the terminal looks amazing but i cant quite tell whats going on ingame, also what engine is this built with and what is the game about
>>125390040
well first he made risk of rain
>>125390943
i think you should post your game

>>125390057
I genuinelly thought that ws a man for 9/10ths of the video
>>125389852
That looks great, only thing I'd say is to tone down the flashing a bit or better yet tone it down and when you reach that room put it back to normal.

Yeah I've been a bit on the fence about that, I have an option to disable flashing but it also disables muzzle flashes too. Maybe more of a smoother flash that matches the down beats on the music or something?
>>125390040
Been kinda deving on and off for a few years now, just a lot of practice I suppose
>>125391365
then post a game you've made
>>125391596
Where do you think you are?
>>125391754
Haven't been able to finish a game since highschool that's why I decided to look for local people for my next project
>>125391664
>Maybe more of a smoother flash that matches the down beats on the music or something?
That would be really neat.
>>125391979

>>125389852
Looking good hopoo, but would you care to address these background mixels?
>>125392310
I'm getting better to make it on my own, won't need anyone to be able to make it a couple years ffom now, I'm not even planing on making it just by making a game I just want the experience and a finished project under my belt and I know that it will be easier with more people and I know that meeting someone face to face reduces the chance of them bailing marginally
>>125371250
Did you do these manually or did you use a facecam/kinect or something to mocap/track?
Posted tree growing game to ludum jam:
http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=66284
Not as many features as I had planned
also no sound/music, but it works.
If anyone wants to play it, I'd love feedback!
>>125392686
see, i think it's weird that you're an "idea" guy who hasn't finished a project since he was a child, and needs other people to keep his ass in line, and yet when someone bails on a musician who's produced multiple finished tracks tailored to the game itself it's the musician's fault for somehow thinking the dev was a "ride to success".
>>125392680
No idea, looks like some glitch. Are you on the newest version? Whats your RAM like?
>>125393334
First of all I'm not an ideas guy, second I don't know how it's wierd. Are you implying I don't work? I just my ass

Maybe you should give the BG a paper like texture.
guys how's this for my game's main theme?

I like 3D modeling in my games but unity and unreal both seem like unoptimized shit. Is there any good 3D dev environments that are better for optimizing? Or should I just learn a 2D engine if I want people to be able to reliably play my shit?
>>125395929
make your own engine or learn the engines optimization techniques, dingus

The sound of the breeding machine is akin to a grenade launcher.

Yep, 1.2.8. 8 GB of ddr3. I figured it was some sort of bug.
>>125396226
make the cats become retarded insane, like flying or trans-dimensional hipercube cat
>>125396226
Make it buggy as fuck, like goat simulator.

to sell a cat you put it up the canon in the corner of the room and it shoots it.
I could make it so your receive the newspaper every couple of minutes and the more cats you sell the more news change and talk about kitty overlords unleashing hell on humanity and take over major cities and stuff.
Could go for a specs-op/eversion ripoff that lasts for like an hour.
>>125397639
How about going the cookie clicker route and make the news cats save cancer, demand for cats increase and stuff like that
If you don't dev at least 18 hours per day, then you are a nodev.
Some last hour feedback before it's too late? You wanna be an anime bat girl growing the world tree with her bat friends, right? https://up1.ca/#W7j1Dh8tXNqVRt1gYoCuKA
>>125396157
no, I just remember in the past playing games like Receiver and being surprised at how poorly optimized they were. Though maybe that's just from being a week-long dev project? I guess I'll take >>125396052 to heart and learn the engine optimization techniques.
Another question, how do I make good loop-de-loops and things in blender? I want to practice modular pieces for a stunt car racing game but I have trouble making loops that don't look weird, and they rarely match up well with other pieces.
>>125391664
Yes, slower flashing.

>>125398690
It looks cool but it shouldn't be completely accurate everytime. Like in Star Wars how some shots go off in a random direction.
>>125398687
Im not a fan of gamenificated audio books but wathever rocks your boat
hahahahahahahahaha
>>125398690
Whatever the case, it looks like your weapon is too small when spinning there, and the animation is too long.
I don't know exactly what's going on there, but perhaps a distinct getting-ready hold and then a super quick spin/single slash would look better (though I guess the latter more appropriate for a sword).
Also: Looks like he's holding the scythe out way too far. Kinda hard to have much power when your holding your arm fully extended.
>>125398782
splines, how do apply?
>>125398854
I'll try it
One more thing, how to create and export smoothing groups in blender?
>>125399514
>splines, how do apply?
i dont know, google it. you will get the idea
>>125398318
Took me awhile to get that "shoot bats at things" makes trees grow. "Grow the world trees" is ambiguous as fuck.
Also, why can you shoot when you don't have a bat... if not having a bat means shooting isn't effective?
And why does shooting bats at trees make them grow ? ? ?
