first for suicide.
>>126716781
Name even a single game that does that
just found out someone made a better version of my game 15 years ago. at least its as fun as i imagined...
>>126717118
Which game anon?
Gamemaker or Unity for a 2d game
Ori and the blind forest is really fucking gorgeous and that was made in unity so it kinda inspires me
I just want to say that guy making witch game with brooms and shit you're doing a great job and never give up because I want to play that shit
>>126717382
Ori was made by a full studio not 1MA, using Unity3D is pretty irrelevant.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8lOwrWNbEY
>>126717382
I prefer Unity, but that's probably because I'm more familiar with it, but I dislike both the interface and scripting language of GM.
That said Unity is primarily a 3D engine so chances are it's doing a lot of stuff you wouldn't do in a 2D engine which could be a waste of CPU power, resulting in the game not running on low end systems or draining battery faster. But I doubt GM is a marvel of engineering either, it probably isn't that great in that area either.
Just like make your own.
>>126717382
From what I read in the previous thread, I'd say GameMaker.Or do what feels right, seems like the previous guy didn't convince you.

vagrant story.
the idea was a story driven rpg with a heavy focus on changing equipment and spells to counter your enemies. tactics with zero hand holding. a hardcore game for hardcore gamers such as myself.
i suppose theres still some room for improvement though. but i'm sure if squeenix wanted to revisit this concept they would surprise me yet again..
>>126717924
You just like make game anyways anon. There's nothing wrong with a game that borrows ideas from another, some of the best games have come about this way.
Plus your game would be on PC, which is always a huge plus for people.
>after hours and hours of work, figuring this shit out, I can finally send an integer from one computer to another
well it's something.
>>126717839it was a snarky bully comment at aviary dev's gf

Not him but Hard Reset has 2 guns with 4 variations each, the system is cool as heck.
>>126717983
One big step into Netcoding
>>126717924
I personally want to make something like Vagrant Story just for the level design. Yes, it was pretty simple, but I find it's just simple enough to be good
Well, I love the tactics involved in making your gear too, but I wouldn't carbon copy the whole battle system. I didn't like the combos and "spam the attack button as fast as you can to land more attacks" in a seemingly turn-based combat system
>>126718164
I want to make a cooler as heck system, just have to come up with a simple game around it.
Kind of leaning towards like a single player version of Evolve
>>126718275
>but I wouldn't carbon copy the whole battle system. I didn't like the combos and "spam the attack button as fast as you can to land more attacks" in a seemingly turn-based combat system
And there you go, branch away from that and you'll have yourself a game people will say "Oh it's like Vagrant story but it does ____ instead." And you'll still draw people in that like your way of doing things.
>>126718247
It's like I'm in development hell
I'm writing netcode to pass data between the backend and the frontend of a website, and the website has to function perfectly and be able to do all kinds of complex shit with ABSOLUTELY NO JAVASCRIPT OR ANYTHING ELSE running clientside, with ALL processing done on the backend
but
it works
somehow it works
and the more I get done, the more I understand
Vine how much did you make selling those asset packs on itch?
>>126717013
having moddable gun is the same thing as having several different guns and every fps has that
>terminal velocity
>the velocity needed to die upon hitting the ground
Someone needs to make a game that revolves around killing yourself at high speed
>>126718550
But that's wrong
>>126718548
very little, probably less than $50
Added target locking. When the target is viable, close enough and within specified viewport, it can be locked onto
>>126718615
that one suicide salesman game did that
>>126718746
It had no fall damage though.
It's called Super Karoshi if someone's wondering.
>>126718663
If you want to waste your time, go ahead and make the game, i don't really care
Camera 0 or 1? (labeled in the webm)
>>126719085
1.
Looking nice btw.
>>126718826
>Super Karoshi
>not OG Karoshi in Game Maker from 2008
>>126719085
1 for indoors like you have in the webm.
0 for outside or very large areas.
>>126719229
yes that's what I was thinking
>>126718680
Vine why do you have an eyeball fetish?
>>126719085
You should fix the camera look ahead. Look at how Super Metroid does its look ahead so that there isn't any of that sub pixel movement and soft snapping.
>>126719085
1 for indoors and 0 for outdoors like this guy >>126719229 said.
and neat art style, though your character's walk cycle could use a little more life to it. What kinda game you making?
>>126719352
it's called Full Metal God, it's an ARPG with an emphasis on skillful combat (1v1 etc, you wont survive in a 1v5 battle vs AI). You can check out our tumblr: http://kiokotadev.tumblr.com/
>>126719343
You mean rounding the x,y coords of the camera? Not sure how look ahead would be connected to sub-pixel movement
>>126719640
I mean doing your look ahead in a way that isn't "lerp to the player's position plus the player's velocity times some factor". Instead the player "pushes" on the edge of a bounding area and the camera moves ahead. The bounding area also allows you to do small movements (which is probably good for your game) without the camera spazzing out.
>>126719748
Ah I see what you mean. Ty
Hey /agdg/ I don't have a finished game yet, should I release my work in progress on Steam now? I don't want to put it on early access either.
>>126720186
holy shit thanks for the keks
>>126720186
It depends. If not releasing it would mean you'd have to find a real job and the morale is low it's completely reasonable thing to do.
Link to steam?
>>126719202
>karoshi
Thanks for reminding me of these, playing through them again.
>>126720186

Are there any rules against getting your friends to positively review your game on steam?
>>126720481
I cannot confirm anything without my attorney.
>>126720186
Did you spend a year procrastinating on others' money, when you should have been doing that less than a month's worth of work?
In that case, yes, of course you release.
>>126720186
I don't get it. You don't want it to be an ealy access, yet you want to release it unfinished?Meh, go for it, you won't be the first dev to do so.
Changed pickups so they split into bits which home into the player. Also enemies now drop these bits when killed. Also I made a few new enemy types.
how many shitposts is a progress worth.
>>126720791
That's the joke.
>>126720876
no you dont understand
a shitpost is a negative progress
3 shitposts reverts your progress

How does it feel to suck at your own game?

Dear diary,
Today I drew some sprites and implemented them into a scene.
I was very excited to be working on the oceandrive inspired part of the game
Also I tried to create top down physics but that was kind of hard.

Do u guys think it its possible to get a funded kickstarter campaign with a really nice trailer including gameplay and all story etc.
eventho in reality the game is still a buggy piece of shit ?
Like would it be possible to hire people to optimize everything after with said funds ?
>>126720870
I sucked on purpose so I could show off the secret areas with health pickups. R... Really.

Not yet, but maybe I'll have something ready for demo day.

>>126721837
what engine are you using?
>>126722389
What engine?
>>126722128
It's almost impossible to do meaningful optimization or bug fixing after the fact.

I unironically want to know what engine 80sdev uses

also C++ was the first language they teach here, C# doesn't start until the next semester or so. And I'm a freshman with no prior experience
Anon that couldn't draw and searched for robot shit.

>game engine architecture
How in-depth is this? Sounds like it might be informative for all devs but really aimed at enginedevs...
>>126725853
It's a good overview, doesn't go too much into the details. Has a good amount of material on game entities and scripting as well.
Probably not very useful if you're using Unity or UE4.

Can anybody on /agdg/ make a game from this concept?
>>126726093
that's easy
it's got a clearly defined villain and victim
you can do pretty much anything with this
>>126723271
It is nice to see a fun and good looking game made in construct 2. I have to make some game as a final project in one of my courses and we have to use this engine. I had a few ideas but the drag and drop workflow is killing me. I guess it is definitely easier to start working without worrying about the main physics, but some stuff looks incredibly repetitive and annoying. It doesn't help that most of the construct 2 games are utter shit and are made be kids. I don't see if the game made in it can turn out tio be good enough to make some success.
>>126726298
Iconoclasts is made in Construct Classic, it's pretty much the same thing.
>>126725726
there's not much added though - some stuff on sound, debugging in that zombie game they have and some math
and there are some weird leftovers like "unreal engine 4's kismet system" or "content browser"(that showed the browser pre-udk)
>>126725853
>Sounds like it might be informative for all devs
it is
it's a high-level overview for lots of stuff, some math, some rendering concepts, debugging, files, localization, etc. etc., but mostly architecture, like there's this neato diagram at the beginning with every system in a typical engine
game coding complete is like this one, but goes more in depth on each thing(there's even a walkthrough for making a game, albeit with their framework)
also stop saying enginedevs like it's this special category of super devs that reinvent stuff because they are oh so much smarter
it's development either way
yeah, it takes a lot more time, but the dev himself evolves both when it comes to lower level stuff and higher level stuff(that comes with commercial engines) with his system and stuff becomes second nature to him
>>126726556
Really? Iconoclasts is pretty fucking great too.
Provided he ever finishes the fucking game
>>126726627
>also stop saying enginedevs like it's this special category of super devs
Where are you getting that from?
>>126726556
It looks good, I might try it. Why don't more people use this engine to make indie games or mobile apps? It even has a lot of premade logics for games like flappy bird, angry birds etc. You can literally make one of those shitty flappy bird clones in an hour. I'm interested if performance suffers a lot if you make a big game in construct and try to publish it to different platforms. That surely has to be a reason.

enginedevs are devs, that's my point
>>126724791

>>126727185
>Why don't more people use this engine to make indie games
Because it's really limited if you can actually code.
>>126727232
But I can't draw and I don't want to draw. I'm just horrible at it and it frustrates me.
I mean, I figured out the other option was to " copy " other's sprite settings to be able to do something decent myself.
But I wonder what option is the best for me. Maybe vector shit rather than pixel art is maybe better for me.

Is random generation and procedural generation the same thing?

don't let the nodev consume u
FIGHT IT BITCH
>>126729576
I don't think there's really a solid definition of random vs procedural. But typically procedural means it's random but follows several rules. If you know the rules you can have a pretty good idea of how something might look after it's generated. Random is "pure" random, or as close to pure random as a computer can get. It doesn't follow rules or follows very relaxed rules, so the result can be all over the place.
>>126729982
>*unsheathes katana* *teleports behind you* nothing personnel kid
nice game
>>126730268
>>126730268
Random is just lazy procedural that doesn't take the time to stem its random inputs from the seed and instead uses a bunch of Math.Random()'s or whatever throughout.
>>126720372

Conclusion: there isn't really a meaningful difference that people agree on. "Procedural generation" just sounds more deliberate.

Guise Halp, I don't know how to draw a line in Unity. I need to draw a laser, and right now I'm taking a sprite and scaling it. It works, but not very well. The obvious solution is just to draw a rectangle and put a texture onto it, but I've been trying to do that and have no idea how to. hlep

I'll buy your game. Fishing in games is the best. Please post fishing mechanics.

>tfw you actually look up to googum
he's a shameless NEET that does what he wants and doesn't give a fuck
>>126731952
Is that hard to do?
>>126731761
So the player can take a wrong turn and completely miss the introduction to banks and fishing?

Collisions are the bane of my existence.
>>126732078
Making and drawing sprites are the bane of my existence.
>tfw you want to use C++ as C with classes but the language is so convoluted and all resources are a mix of different styles that you may as well just use C
this is just for fun and not really to make a game in the end, but damn.

getting tired of this meme
So say I want to contribute art and assets to video game devs rather than programming because they can't draw and I can't code.
What do? Where advertise?

wew
thought they put variant in the standard lib for a moment there
>>126734872
Just like use make_unique or make_shared (rarely)
>>126724791
this isn't how your'e supposed to do this
you need to use line,circle tools and smooth stike
also don't draw with pencil tool, pick something with soft alpha
maybe we can sit and learn it on skype or something if i have time
>>126734864
I'm at work so I don't have access to my PC. Moreso just wondering if people just whore themselves out here or there was an offsite spot for people who are looking.
