>feel kind of disappointed with myself
>suddenly a revelation: Undertale is Cave Story
Holy shit, I never thought about it, but it's Cave Story. Everyone compares it to Mother/Earthbound, but the goat characters look just like Mimigas, the whole premise is about humanity venturing into an underground inhabited by monsters, you play the role of a silent youth, arrive after a slew of important events have already happened, and there's weird sci-fi villainy going on with supernatural villainy in the background.
Undertale is Cave Story.
Somehow this revelation makes me feel much better about sharing an element or two with it, knowing that Toby was probably heavily inspired by an older indie legend himself.
>>127520570

>Beginners guide to game dev (covering how to start and where)
is what it is
To the anon asking about FOV being different when I get a sprite; this is my plan -- to shift to a larger or smaller radius based on different effects or equipment. But I think I'm going to keep it symmetrical.
>>127520438
Notice a certain G* is posting in this thread.
I think we know why meme shitposts are back in the OP.
>>127520615
You're not the first one to notice this. I don't mean that in a "your opinion is unoriginal" way, I mean that your opinion is perfectly legitimate and others have come to the same conclusion independently. Even the name "Cave Story" is similar to the name "Under Tale," which leads me to believe it's more homage than derivative work.
>>127520604
whats the correlation?

I can't believe I didn't piece that one together.

I'm sure there's tons, but did any of them ever get successful the same way there were plenty of big-name story-ish action platformers following Cave Story?
>>127520853
Risk of Rain is the most obvious example. He's made several millions from it.
There are others though that haven't made millions.

Got the variants working reliably, past a few upside-down bones/sockets. I'm fairly satisfied.
>>127521217
Stupid but functional, I guess.
I haven't made any progress today other than tweaking movement.
I spent nearly all day trying to decide on a UI theme for my menus and I still don't have anything picked out. I go back to uni in a week, I only have so much free time left. I can't keep wasting days like this.

>>127521217
To add onto my other post, you should use vectors and maybe consider using cylindrical coordinates instead of cartesian since you're dealing with a lot of angles. It'd probably be faster.

bbbuT the JUICE dude
>>127521559h-how could it be improvedai, line-of-sight, and pathfinding have always been the hardest parts about game programming for me
>>127521919
Start by actually using vectors, and use references instead of pointers.
Also, it seems a bit fishy that you are supplying a direction AND a game object to look for. Either supply a direction and find the first thing, or supply only the object.
>>127521803
Some schizophrenic from /x/ who pops in from time to time.
>>127521845
That seems like it'd be problematic since you'd have to interface the polar coordinate LOS system with the cartesian grid of the game world. Unless you want to have a bizarre round play space with tiles that get bigger as they go out from the center.
>>127521803

>>127521919
>ai,
Be a little more specific on what you want the AI to do.
>line-of-sight,
I prefer using non-cartesian coordinates for this considering the line of sight is either going to be a sphere, circle, or cone. It really helps make the math easier. But you should be more specific, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Is your game 3D, 2D, 2.5D, top-down, etc?

>That seems like it'd be problematic since you'd have to interface the polar coordinate LOS system with the cartesian grid of the game world.
Cylindrical assuming he's in 2D.
It wouldn't be problematic at all really, it helps draw LoS as a circle or a sphere as it should be in most games. Otherwise you end up with a square like this >>127520657 which doesn't look as good imo.
Converting from cylindrical to cartesian would just be one function since it's already stored as a vector. He could check for collision by sweeping the phi along a constant r. He's already using trigonometric functions, so it wouldn't be slower than what he's currently doing and it'll look much nicer.
>>127522145
I can change it so that it has the start object, then returns the first object that it collides with. Then I'll only have to check if that object is the player, and if so, the enemy can see the player.
And what do I need vectors for, exactly?
>>127522218
>the line of sight is either going to be a sphere, circle, or cone
A straight line is pretty much fine for my game, since it's a sidescrolling 2D platformer.
>>127522203
oh my god rotate i am laffin
>>127522984
If all you're doing is checking if the enemy can see the player, just do a line from the enemy to the player. No direction.
Vectors will clean things up so that you aren't having to deal with X and Y separately.

Is there any success stories with a single person making a 3D game?
I have seen a ton of 2D indie games from a single dev get really successful like Undertale, FTL, Risk of Rain, Fez, Cave Story and even aviary attorney. However, I cannot name a single successful 3D game from a single dev.

Banished, and he's an enginedev too
Re-posting this because because I really like this fire, he is so friendly.
>>127522257
You say that like some of the most profitable items in Unity's asset store weren't made by programmers.
>>127523468
3D is hard to get right. No one in their right mind would do 3D by themselves with the intention of making money.
My game is 3D, but I'm making it for fun not really to sell.
>>127523468
>Undertale, FTL, Risk of Rain, Fez
these weren't made by one person
and even Pixel who created cave story learned and got help from his programmer friend
>>127523464
But what I think that anon is trying to say is that there's no programmer equivalent, there's no way to make money as a programmer aside from getting a job in which any FOB can steal from you at any moment.
>>127523468
I mean there are a few, just not in AGDG. Definitely not as many big hits as 2d games.
>>127523578
Wasn't banished made in unity?
>>127523636
I'm pretty sure Undertale was at least 95% Toby.

>you will never get this upset over aggy daggy
>>127523654
If you have a degree or experience or generally just knowing your shit then getting a job as a programmer is piss easy.
There is way less need for artists and the barrier of entry is also pretty high. It's a popularity game. You have to be top of the top in order to have work come to you nonstop.
>>127523874
everyday i wake up and thank Allah that im not Mothman
>>127523826
admittedly that game looks kind of fugly, so I'd bet most of the programming went towards gameplay logic.
There aren't many successful 3d enginedevs, even the god tier ones go crazy: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joshparnell/limit-theory-an-infinite-procedural-space-game/posts/1122988
>>127523105
>If all you're doing is checking if the enemy can see the player, just do a line from the enemy to the player. No direction.
I'm not sure if I understand. I need to know the direction the enemy is facing, so I can shoot the laser the right way.
>>127523874

Thank you for making a Vulkan thread
>>127524141
>>127523105
Why would you do that though?
I feel like due to the nature of OOP you should be able to make stealth/detection relatively easily by not cheating; there won't have to be any references to the player within the AI, it can be perfectly blackboxed. You just do cone raycasts to see if the AI sees an enemy.

>>127524442

I mean, if you're that worried about yourself cheating with the enemy logic, just have a "man in the middle" that knows about all enemies and the player and tells each enemy if they can see the player.

i think i read somewhere recently that vulkan was performing much worse than the next direct x, doesn't that imply that vulkan is dead from the get-go?

>A game based on rock paper scissors
I'll take it
If I were to develop a game using an engine that I pirated rather than paid for, what are the legal ramifications for such an act?
>>127529067
End of january at the soonest.
Anyone do ludum dare?
>>127530509
It more likely just means more time has been spent on drivers for DirectX 12 right now, isn't that shit already out?
>>127530659

Gogem got a game onto steam that was based on rock paper scissors.
The funny thing about gogem is that he says to be original and not to copy other game ideas yet he copies something out of a manga.
>>127530509
DirectX and OpenGL both exist at the same time.
Someone give me a punny name for my MC's computer's operating system.
>>127530572
I want to make a game based on rps too.
Not literal rps like gogem, something like FE and Pokémon (the starters at least) have.
Anyone have any idea of three things that could fit in a rps system?

Flash porn game.
I'll work on my game tomorrow, I swear.
hahahahahahahaha

If it was Unity they can legally raid your house and gangrape you until you become a cock craving slut.
Read the EULA.
>>127531081
YESTERDAY YOU SAID TOMORROW
DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS
AND
JUST DO IT
>>127531129
Will they actually gangrape me and force their dicks on me? I'd love that.
>>127531069
Go to bed kreig
>>127531163
You go to bed too, vine
>>127531129
No, I'm referring toGameMaker. However, if that isn't a metaphor and they'll seriously fuck me and make me a cock craving slut, then that sounds great.

>yet he copies something out of a manga.
manga arent video games.
tv shows arent video games
movies arent video games
books arent video games
steal all you want, just not from video games.
>>127531360
Because reasons.
>>127531360
Yeah, it's okay to copy books as long as you're not AAdev :)
>>127531360
So if someone posts an idea for a game I'm free to steal it because an idea for a game is not a game? Great logic, goog
>>127529475
Middle-bottom doesn't work that well on pixels with odd numbers though.
>>127531525
im pretty sure AA wrote his book, it's the only thing he had to do.
>>127531492
because copying a videogame to make a videogame is cloning.
>>127531592
>stealing idea
ideaguy please
can someone please help me out, i'm not too good at this.
i'm tying to write a function in unity which checks if a component i'd like to destroy is attached to the gameobject, is this correct? should i be concerned about object being yellow, the function seems to work.
>>127531660
>>stealing idea
The ironing
>>127531665
Unnecessary gymnastics. Whenever you use a Unity component you can access the GameObject attached with just gameObject.
Anyone have experience with Poser/Marvelous Designer?
I was recommended these programs if I want to jump straight into character/avatar creation. How detailed can you make a character using these?
im doing it guys
i will go big with UE
i will make progress
i will just like make game
>>127529067
>>127531665
I think Unity already does a null check, I just tried to Destroy a non-existent component and didn't get an error.
But anyway, why do you have that random type parameter there?
Generic version:
public void TryDestroy<T>(GameObject go) where T : Component {
T component = go.GetComponent<T>();
if (component != null) {
Destroy(component);
}
}
>>127531964
do you have years of experience in 3D modeling?
>>127532410
No
I tried learning Blender but bleh. Too much to take in at once.
>>127531665
>>127532351
Wait nevermind, your code is confusing. Don't name your generic type parameters of other classes.
>>127532524
both of those are advanced programs and you wont make anything good with them if you dont know 3D modeling
>>127531964
>poser
It's ok. I think my dad made porn with it once.
>Marvelous Designer
never heard of it
>>127532673
I don't wanna spend forever trying to get anatomy right when its already done for me for the most part. Thats the thing.
>>127532560
i didn't know that unity checks if something is null before it tries to delete something because i could have sworn i've seen it throw an error before when i tried to delete something that was null. but since it does, i can just use a normal destroy. thanks for your help though.
did you set any gamedev resolutions?
>>127533063
yeah 1920x1080

something with cute character models and interaction with other cute characters that follow anime tropes, it doesn't need to be cute or innovative, gameplay is negligible
weebs all want the same thing. just look at yandere simulator
I'm trying to brainstorm some simple but not too abstract/"Gamey" hacking mechanics for a game about basically playing guardian angel for someone from afar. Something more involved than "push buttan 2 deploy skript" but nothing ridiculous like the minigames of DX:HR or any weird tile-matching nonsense that's overtly just a busywork minigame, while still remaining realistic. I can't think of anything that would actually be fun to play with. There's solutions, for sure, but I can't think of anything that's not just busywork.
Are there some movies I should watch with good hollywood hacking to draw inspiration from? Cyberpunk stuff I should go look at? send he;lp

- going to learn pico-8
- release game on android
- finish one of my larger games
- actually market it correctly
>>127533063
Yes
>get my game in playable state
>learn more C# and algorithms and general programming
>get better at modeling and animating
>learn Gamemaker (I want to make a small RPG in it eventually)
>>127533159
this seems neat but it seems more like it's meant for fashion industry stuff where you'd want to churn out patterns for stuff for chinks off of Alibaba.com to sew for you than for real-time rendering environments
>>127533206
>going to learn pico-8
literally why, it's a meme
SDL users, can you clear something up for me.
I'm getting back into C++ after forever (I wouldn't call myself a programmer by any means, I've been struggling to learn for years, along with keeping at it consistently).
Anywho. an SDL Surface is where all the magic happens, right? and SDL Window is just the box containing that screen
>>127533352
it's cute and fun and I'll enjoy it
>>127533286
What should I go for then? I do not want to create characters from the ground up if I don't have to, same goes for their outfits, especially if it's not exactly for game use atm.
LibGDX with Java, Scala or Clojure?
Java is obviously the worst language but probably more mature?
>>127533382
Yep. Or you can use SDL to create an OpenGL context and render everything with that.
>>127533063
well there's "get laid" but i think it counts as gamedev because i met some guy off the internet who is apparently an indie dev and participated in a bunch of Ludum Dares or something
>>127533478
Java, the others are meme languages.
webdev is more rewarding than gamedev
>>127533592
webdev almost made me suicidal, not even kidding
>>127533479
I'm waaay before OpenGL at this point.
For some reason, watching tutorials, I can understand whats going on, but if I go to say, do it myself, I become utterly lost. Some thats thats just me not really knowing wtf I'm doing.
At one point I thought I understood pointers/references, but meh, even then I didn't know when the hell to use them, how to use them, it just seemingly never wants to stick.
>>127533592
webdev is way too easy to be rewarding
>>127533478
>Java is obviously the worst language
Java is only attacked because it's garbage collected and runs in a VM so I don't know why you'd say that.
>>127533592
what's afunbackend to work with?
>>127533648
putting up your wordpress blog and running the server infrastructure for a multi billion dollar company are different things
>>127533721
server infrastructure is sysadmin stuff, not webdev
>>127533684
ASP.NET MVC 5
nothing comes close to it
