How can you fuck up that much such a simple platformer?
>>129141764
I think any of us with more than 3 seconds of gameplay in our game have it beat.
Sorry rotate wherever you are. Rotatevania was a disaster and needed to die. Your artists made the right decision. Their talent was being shit on by an autistic shitposting danny stalker with progress that slow. You couldn't even let them change the name from "It's All About Me: the game".
I decided to start learning how to draw better by doing concept art for my game. Here's a concept for a monster. Still in the middle of figuring out how to best color and shade her.
>>129142094
He's been more obsessed with shitposting in agdg and following Mothdan over the past 6 months than anything else. Literally complained about him throughout his entire tumblr. Now we get to hear about "danny" everyday and have been hearing it for the past 7 months. The kid is fucked in the head.
>>129141645
Pathetic. I could forgive all the

posting if he actually made some progress but this is just embarrassing.
>>129142027
Oh hey it's you. Fuck off rotate. You and the source shitposter are one forever. Maybe it's time for YOU to let go and go create another safe space "everyone must like me" message board. Topkek. Be sure to give us more reports on what's happening on danny's youtube and steam pages.

>i'm only pretending to be this upset
Nah.
I've been using this shitty website for ten years and this is the first time I've ever even considered using a filter.
What do I have to filter to get rid of these faggots spamming about enginedevs, dan or whoever the fuck this rotate guy is? It's unbearable.
Posting in here too:
Gamedev noob. I'm working in a unity project with other guy who's making assets for me (models, animations). If I want to code while he's working on them I was planning on use free substitute assets (duh) from the asset store. What should I take in account to choose them?
Using Unity here.
Say I have an object that rotates clockwise when you press right, counter-clockwise when you press left. This rotation happens by applying torque to the object. If you're already rotating clockwise and press left, I want the object to cease its rotation and immediately start turning counter-clockwise.
How do I detect which way it is rotating, so it knows input in the opposite direction means stopping before applying force in that direction?
>he thought he was one of the "big boys"
lmao
>>129143271
use a flag.
>>129143191
Here's what I use, of course the shitposters just started using one letter as their name to get around the people who filter. So you'll have to hide their reply manually./moth ?[df]a[nm]/i

>I've been using this shitty website for ten years and this is the first time I've ever even considered using a filter.
This is exactly what I said 2 weeks ago. This is amazing, the retardation just reached a new level.

please keep it in in some way, this is awesome
>>129143594
the lasers aren't even firing from their weapons
>>129143446
>>129143561
Actually, wait, no that won't work. If something collides with this object, it might apply enough force to knock its rotation in the other direction without the player pressing anything, which would make the flag incorrect.
I need some kind of value I can take from the properties of the object to discern it is rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.
How do you OMAs do it? I feel like giving up a lot.
>>129143829
just let the player figure out how to handle stuff by himself, unless you are coding an AI.
otherwise just fake the physics, i avoid torque like the plague.

>>129141645
Disgusting. That could have been a good game if it weren't being programmed by an autistic psychopath monkey. His artists made the right call in moving on. They were casting their pearls before an underage drinking pill popping swine.
>>129143932
A true sOMArai never gives up, just readjusts the scale of the game. Make only what needs to be done, forget all conventions, do as little as possible to attain your vision, and be humble, readjust your vision.

>GM user isn't a programmer
>>129141878
Whaaaaat
There was a yuri jam and no one told me?
>>129143829
What you want is something that accesses rigidbody.angularvelocity and figures out which way you're rotating from that.
Otherwise, the thing that you could do is do rb.getrelativepointvelocity at a point outside of the center and use the dot product to figure out which way you're rotating on a given local axis.
Consider that a point 1 local units above an object will be moving forwards in local space if the object as a whole is rotating that way in world space.
>>129143594
that's pretty funny.

Banner Saga, which had a kinda shit and retarded battle system. It was a better strategy to have 15 injured enemies than 1 healthy one, so dumb. I don't know how ideas so bad make it past initial playtesting. Besides the nice art, it was a low energy loser game.
>>129146558
this should only be a thing in games in which you can control multiple characters.
ok, be honest with me. no more deception. if i wanted to program the start of a game in unity with C# how many lines of code am i looking at? i'm talking camera set up, fluid player movement like jumping running etc, and a simple level with maybe a dialogue system and a start game menu. are we talking thousands and thousands of lines of code? think about it from the perspective of a beginner, just looking at these lines upon lines of code for only the start of a project. is he thinking fuck this shit, or is he thinking alright looks manageable? am i looking at a mountain here, or a molehill?
>>129145821

i'm asking what i'm looking at for what i described, so i can go ahead and say fuck this shit before it's too late and i'm spending 2 fucking days coding a god damn camera movement system for a simple top down rpg.
>>129147470
if its 2d is ezpz ive never touched 3d tho
>>129147470
I don't know how unity does it, but I'm pretty sure there should be no code or very little code needed for a camera to follow the player.
>>129147003
I've only been using Unity for a few months, been working on a platformer. Movement script is around 500 lines, camera script is around 150. Dialogue is over 100, Menu Scripts + Master script are 200 together.
>>129143932
>I feel like giving up a lot.
Same here. But then I come to /agdg/ and see all the projects people are working on and then I get inspired. Also, setting time aside to do other things like watching anime, working out, shitposting, and other NEET stuff, not just working on your game 24/7, because it helps take your mind off things. Basically take a break from gamedev every now and then.
Go outside even. (Then again the only time I go outside is to go for a run, I don't even look at other joggers or other people, I stare straight ahead or look down or look off to the side right before I come within eye contact distance, as if something else caught my attention.
>>129146175
I've seen your progress last couple of days, looks good anon! I hope you're being kind and using a recognised format for charts so players can import songsand increase the lifespan of your game
>>129146707
Nope used to be lwjgl, remade it in unity
>>129147689
As far as I know, Unity doesn't have anything for that. The cheap way to make a camera is to set is as the child object of your character so it'll always be a specific position away from the player.
>>129147470
>if you spend 2 whole days working on something that doesn't pan out it will be "too late"
Not the right attitude for gamedev (or life).
Thank you bugs for making me feel awesome when I fix you
>>129148009
youre welcome bzzt bzzt
>>129147882
Unity has some premade assets that can do what you want, but making the camera follow the player without parenting is literally one or two lines

Also Halo 4. Holy shit that pissed me off so much. I'd rather just descope when hit, but I guess descoping is also a mild form of this.
I don't understand these mechanics. You're already getting shot and at a disadvantage, why does the attacker need even more advantage?

>>129148009
Bugs only exist because you messed up the first time. You shouldn't feel awesome when you fix them, you should feel upset you wasted your time on an issue that you created with your ineptitude.

Wait what? What's so hard about camera in Unity out of all engines?
If you have so much of a hard time then do it the simple way with empty transform for views, some children of your characters if you want, then just have the camera lerp between those points on command.

>>129149147
>stealing garbage code that doesn't work as desired
Why?
>>129149362
Well, the basic idea is that you do a raycast against every potential object and report the nearest. You can narrow down that set, of course, using broadphase methods and clever heuristics like "well I don't care about anything behind the player".
Well, I didn't like how >>129142230 was turning out so I drew a different creature.
>>129149362
Unity?
>>129149362
Are you rolling your own engine or are you using one?
Dude relax, and try again. You should have a look at vectors and the maths needed to check when a point in space intersect with it.
If you're using 2D AND simple raycasts, as in straight in a direction and no diagonals, just go the easiest way and compare x1<xPoint<x2 or y1<yPoint<y2
>>129148935
i just wanted confirmation. many people download the 3rd person controller third party asset on unity store for 60 bucks. you would think setting up the character for movement, and setting up a simple camera would be one of the simplest and first things done when creating a game, right? so is it really that complicated, or not? i'm not going to spend 60 bucks on the asset, but i don't understand how something that should be as simple as a 3rd person controller for a character can be so hard that people need to download an asset for it. maybe those people are lazy, i don't know. it just seems weird to me. you would think they wouldn't even download an asset like that unless they knew how to build a game utilizing it, right?
>trying to make a game in gamemaker

Is it okay to have ~30 objects onscreen as long as most of them aren't really doing anything?
>>129149882
There's a lot of lazy fucks using Unity, don't fall for it. It is as easy as you would expect it to be, just follow some of the tutorials on the Unity website.

>>129149882
Frankly the assest store, as far as code is concerned, is utter shit. Only artists who do not want to bother with code buy stuff from here.
And no, making your own camera system, especially in Unity, is not hard at all. Now, I don't know what you're trying to achieve exactly since "camera controller" is too broad of a definition, but maybe you should try having the camera do one thing at a time.
>>129149990
Yes.
>>129149990
Of course. You can have a lot more and have them all doing things and your framerate should still be fine. I use hi-res sprites too, and I still keep around 60 fps even while recording with OBS.
>>129145802

>>129148935
>What's so hard about camera in Unity out of all engines?
Some people (autists) are just really good at complicating simple things.
>>129149882
Why would you buy a third person controller from the asset store when it comes with Unity? You should learn how to use Unity before you start spending money on things.

Those people are fumbling around and assuming something in the asset store will help them skip having to learn the basics of the engine.
Is there a way to seperate the WASD keys from the arrow keys in Unity?
The Input just seems to take both in as Horizontal Input, but I wanted to use them separately.
>>129150693
that's pretty much the ultimate recipe for failure.
Why are UE4's engine demos so much better than Unity's engine demos?
>>129150195
A lot of them will be tiles, but nothing is finalized yet and I'm not sure what the best way is.
>>129150349
Alright, that's good to know.
>>129148085
in call of duty it's simple, you are not supposed to get hit, the bloody screen is not just "so real", it's the games way of telling you that you fucked up and need to go somewhere else, or you will die
call of duty, while it tracks hp internally, the gameplay only distinguishes between two player states, dead or grazing hit, if you are not dead you will be fine in a few seconds and can try again
it's a game of positioning, that's why the maps are filled with bullshit sightlines, call of duty 4's early levels make extensive use of this concept where if you stand in one place the enemy will pop right out at you and kill you in a few shots, but if you find the right place to stand you will easily pick them off before they see you
>>129150729

Checking if it collides with a platform is slow as fuck, though. I can sort of speed it up if I try i += platformSize instead of i++, but of course it doesn't work either way.
>>129149829
No, I'm not retarded.
>>129149863
>compare x1<xPoint<x2 or y1<yPoint<y2
I've tried that, except I can't tell if there's a platform between them. The platform code I'm using came from a book and I don't understand any of it.
>>129144229

How do I make a custom editor for unity? I want to press a button, select an object from the scene and then do something with that object. There's very little documentation beyond how to add the button.
>>129151156
But this is so much more convenient, anon.
>>129150973
Unreal's demos are focused on high end games and desktop features, Unity's demos are focused on low end games and mobile features. Just different priorities.
>>129151203
You can use larger than pixel increments. And why is checking for collision with a platform so expensive? That sounds suspicious to me.
>>129151015
I don't mind it in call of duty. That game is supposed to be fast-paced and your health is low and guns do massive damage. But when they added it to Halo it felt so out of place, especially with the long-ranged DMR spammers that could hit you from across the map.
>>129151461
Don't listen to that other stupid shitposter. Even the official unity documentation suggests that you should not register inputs directly and use the input manager instead like you do.
>>129151213

alright guys,
first attempt at drawing 2d sprites.
is this acceptable for programmer arts?
this is the best i can do.
any advice to improve it?
i'm just glad i finally started doing something after a few years talking about how i'm gonna work on my own game...
>>129151482
Like I said, I got the platform code from a book, and I don't really understand it. This code is how I'm checking if the point in the raycast hits a tile. This is a modified version of the code from the book.
>>129151062
How do you just do the arrow key in particular though? "left" and "right" seem to automatically correllate to both the arrow keys and A and D.

>>129152131
Just make it a 3D model senpai.
Overall it looks noisy, The colors look very boring, and there's not really any shading at all. But I can tell it's a house, so you've already done better than a lot of games with programmer art. You can always improve it as you go.

>>129151482
And this is the original code. This is used to check if the player is colliding with the floor, ceiling, or walls.
>>129152131
I'll be straight with you anon. It looks like dog shit. And programmer art is a term used for placeholder art you use while programming, intended to be replaced by an actual artist's work before release. Pic related is Braid's programmer art.
If you're going to do that style of art, do what 99% of classic games did and just render a real 3D model then export the render as your sprite.
>>129152045
I wasn't being ironic. I'm not a programmer. The drag n' drop works for me with my simple games. I don't have time to learn all that C++ or whatever it is you guys use. I want to focus on my art. Drag n Drop works fine. Drop the elitism from the discussion. We're all amateurs here.

Emphasis on this. If it's programmer art, what you have is fine. It's just a placeholder and it clearly gets across what you're trying to visualize. It's not good, but it's good enough for prototyping.
If you intend to make all of the final art yourself, you should scale back the scope to something you can pull off.

Anon, what the fuck are you doing making a game in C++ when all you can do is copy paste stuff?
That code is horrible, by the way. The reason it's so slow is because it deep copies each tile layer when it retrieves it from the getTileIDs function. It should return by const reference, not by value. Even better, the "tile layer" should internalize things like checking for a tile at a point.

it's not really any style of art though...
I'm just trying to draw a house, and added in the color as i draw...
> render a real 3D model
i have no idea how to do that at all.
at least drawing a 2d sprite is possible...
but, won't i need to draw the texture when i render a 3d model?
it would ended up to be the same crap again...

For whatever reason SFML is drawing everything in the wrong place after I resize the window, and then telling me that the coordinates are in the right place.
I thought I'd at least be able to make a working button
>>129152131
make whatever the fuck you want man, it works, an ugly game can be prettified, that's a non issue. just do outlines, don't waste time on complicated art.
daily reminder lolisim got a good artist simply because he had already a working prototype.
don't worry about shitty placeholders faggots.
>>129152131
Anon if you're going to do pixel art you want a less arbitrary perspective. Something like a house has a lot of straight lines and you want those lines to be regular, it will be very jarring if they aren't at that resolution

He's learning, isn't it beautiful?
I remember when I didn't give a dang about deep-copying, and I didn't pre-load my resources.
>>129152131
not bad
>>129153493
Does he even post or work on his game anymore?
Posting progress, this is from yesterday as well.
Map works, going up and down stairs, ladders holes works, sorting for trees/pillars/player works. Text Log works, monster generation works (though only slimes atm). Monsters animate, but don't sort with the player/trees yet.
As soon as I get the monsters moving and get them and the player able to attack/kill each other I'll post a demo.
Oubliette is on hold due to needing to refactor the collision code and this is good practice in using LUA's tables to create lists of entities, which may have tables themselves. They're almost like proper Objects!

ratioPos contains how far along the x/y directions to go as a fraction of the whole to find the top left corner of the button, ratioSize contains what fraction of the screen the x/y size of the button takes up

>>129152131
What makes it good;
making a whole game based on those artistic form or style
what makes it bad;
you made one house and the next will look with a different style
none the less my only advice on improvement with art is that you practice, and practice and practice
copy a few styles, but mostly practice, if you make a whole level, you can share it with people and someone somewhere out there will use it. Good luck
>>129153647
looks great, how are you making this?
>>129153670
I really don't think that suits the whole grid-based thing
Is it turn-based also? Because then it's even weirder

>>129153818
I kinda wanted to save doing a Hydlide/Ys/Druaga style game for the upcoming Zelda jam, but I really needed a fresh slate to work out some code without dealing with the mess that Oubliette has become. I really made some poor choices in implementing the platforming physics.

It is turn-based. Trying to make this as "real rogue-like" as possible. My goal is to make something that /rlg/ would enjoy playing. I wanted to have some ECS system that moves entities, and one that displays text, and one that kills entities after a certain amount of time on screen. So in order to work on all those three, I made a test "damage hit" effect -- but really I could use it for anything. Particle animation for fires, gold fly away from an enemy when something's killed, experience pellets spewing from a chest into the player.
Is there a reason you don't like the damage text specifically?
>>129153849
>if you make a whole level, you can share it with people and someone somewhere out there will use it
But i'm drawing the assets for my own game, anon.
Also, i can't really do
>making a whole game based on those artistic form or style
since i'm absolutely clueless about art.
I even draw the house without any planning at all. I just find a picture as reference on google, then pick whatever color i feel like to use...
But it doesn't matter, if this art is acceptable to most, i will start working on my assets, if i eventually gotten better, and had a different style, i would come back and redraw the old assets...
hopefully that will work..

Well that's easy enough.
>"tile layer" should internalize things like checking for a tile at a point
So basically, have the tile layer class check for collision, and just pass in the x/y values?
What's the bare minimum list of things that should generate a screen shake?

Either return the tile layer by const reference (and then obviously don't copy it again) or do the checking internally. The first will be a simple change, the second is "better" as far as design goes (probably, I don't know any details about the rest of the code).

Not sure I understand the question. You can look at the code of any program just by opening the p8 or p8.png file in a text editor. I mean, I structure everything the same way I would do for anything else, except with more global variables and functions.

>>129154517
Do you think there should be any damage / status changed / particle effects at all? I'm still planning on making sure that the message log in the UI gets updated with every event, I just thought I'd also add some "flashiness" to it so it's not just "Press numpad key, read message log to see results, check health."
Any better?
>>129154501

Sprinting in FPSs, and gunfire recoil.
I don't like seeing it anywhere else, even in cutscenes. Nearby explosions don't really need it either. Halo Reach got it right with the screen going blurry and distorted for a split second and maybe a vibration, but the screen really doesn't need to shake at all.
>>129154682
That's pretty silly that they then copy the whole thing regardless.

Don't listen to him, particle effects are fine if the game is going to have graphics. Have a look at ToME 4, that's a well loved roguelike that has graphics and effects.
