nth for juice
We /qwop/ now
First for lets Collab /agdg/ post contact information and we can all collab
Can't an agdg artist make us a low poly cutie? She doesn't even need to be perfect.
Catmouth has forsaken us so we can't ask him.
Crystal gun grill dev has too high detailed cuties so we can't ask him for free.
Maiddev is struggling too much so we can't ask him either.
And no, all of my attempts are absolute shit so I've given up after 3 months or so.
Real developers have a suitable board for there "general".
/sci/ is where important shit gets done!
But you wouldn't know about that, since you apparently spend all of
your spare time posting progress pics of circularized penises LOL made in blender on a pseudo /v/ board. Typical nodev bullshit.
Join us before the next general comes along, and remember that /agdg/ is actually better suited to /sci/
Let's all leave this /v/ infested shithole and join our comrades in code on the science board.

I heard you gamedevs needs a lot of amphetamine and I can get you nice prices for it.

Is buying this bundle for learning a good idea?
As in, to open the models in a 3D software other than the engine and have them as examples
lol
>>135310003
>post contact information
What for?
why is noone making boat games
i guess ill just stop making mine as well
>>135310003
I can only be contacted through 4chan. But even if I'm not here when you post I'll check the archives.
>>135310716
i don't see how that would work on mobile, the bars are too small to tap.
>>135310003

I'm anonymous though and can only be contacted through 4chan

>Is buying this bundle for learning a good idea?
>As in, to open the models in a 3D software other than the engine and have them as examples
No. There is very little you can actually learn from that.
If you want to learn 3D modeling you're better of with some kind of instruction of what to do.
Download some video tutorials senpai.
>>135310917
There's the sea worm guyunless you're him, then theres the 2d boat guy

What is your skillset?
>>135310290
What kind of low poly cutie would /agdg/ want? How would we make it uniquely /agdg/And no having a penis wont make it uniquely /agdg/
It would be cool if we got our own agdg-chan that we could have up for free, fully rigged and animated for any dev to use.
>>135311170
I was just fucking aorund and fixing some bugs I had. I will try implementing combos and fading colors tomorrow.I have 3 other games I should be working on though
>>135310290
Where's a picture of that Femotavio character? I could model her in low poly if yous wan't. Unless yous reckon there's a better agdg chan or we could make one.
What would she look like?

Hey, when are you supposed to update a sprites position? I mean of the actual sprite to be drawn. The Entity's position is of course updated during the physics phase. But the sprite has its own. I guess when it goes to be drawn?
Wondering because I'm integrating scripting and I want to reduce the number of calls to the script VM.
The idea is that the Entity will have certain components in the engine (sprite and collision), then anything else by script.

that really bums me out. I liked his work a lot.
>>135313515
I guess he was a bit disappointed over where his game went.
He really should've got a programmer on board for the game, or learned to do it himself. If you can model and rig and animate shit you're not too stupid to pick up coding too but I guess he got too stuck in the role mindset.
I sortof understand though. I'm 1ma and dabble in art and music but do programming primarily. But diving deep into modelling or music feels like outside my territory even though I know I'd improve by a magnitude if I spent a week or two brushing up on my skills in it.

What's a good way to handle multiple player weapons in a Game Maker SHMUP?
I assume I could take the easy way and make them all invisible objects I'd stick on my players. But are there better (read: quicker and/or less likely to break) ways? Maybe they should all be stored in an array or something.
There's no weapon cycling and I've only got a couple days for this, if that might help.
>>135315559
Shops, NPCs, unique monsters, randomly generated mini-quests? All of the above and more?
>>135315781
Likely died a gruesome death. Here's his tumblr: http://facadegame.tumblr.com/
>>135315969
>Maybe they should all be stored in an array or something.
this.
if its just a simple shmup, you shouldnt need to use objects at all to store weapons. just have a variable in your player obj, "weaponType = 0;"
When the player presses space (or whatever your shoot action is) it checks to see what weaponType is, and performs an action from there.

>>135315559
>Not fun
Of course it isn't, your mechanics are in place but you're missing the content you need to exploit them best.
If you're going for a "simulation" approach ala Nethack, you've got a lot of content to make and a thousand interactions to cover.
If you're going for a "game" approach ala Brogue, you need to find ways to exploit the essence of these mechanics so they have a meaningful impact on the gameplay.
But don't worry. As long as you know what direction you're taking, you'll make it fun eventually.

working a roguelike
how would you guys feel about a giant beast moving beneath the map (like pic related), changing the floor tiles directly above it to a darker hue? it'd be able to emerge and attack and stuff, of course
this might be awkward for a turn-based game though

>>135318635
I can but you're oversimplifying. The ideas don't come out of thin air. By providing a point of reference (you could call it "inspiration") you create an environment where brainstorming and idea-ing is possible. The idea guy can do that himself but it makes sense for the sake of coherence to have another team member provide something they've made as a starting point since we're starting out with absolutely nothing here.
tl;dr
It's more fun this way.

Not needed. Do a forced tutorial where the only way out of a room is by swinging over a gap, after that the swimpoints should be ingrained in the player visual memory.
I still remember the super metroid grapple blocks.

>it's not 3D

>>135316329
Okay, thanks! That does sound like a saner way to make it work.
>>135318471
If turn-based, make its presence obvious. Losing because you didn't notice a slightly darker floor tile even though you planned your move for a minute is just plain dumb.
You gotta think of the implications too. Is there anything it can't dig through? If it can swim at all, does it become visible when it moves into water, for example? Can another creature stand on its tile while it is underground? If yes, what happens if it emerges, does it push the creature on a nearby tile? If no, would a player automatically attack it?
In practice, you're basically making a creature bound to the ground (as opposed to waterborne, for example), that can't target or be targeted when underground, and presumably takes a turn to emerge or dig back and retreat. Mechanically, is this what you want?
It sounds cool in practice, but it might be a bit frustrating to fight if you can see it coming/fleeing but not attack as long as it isn't above the ground (i.e. only in melee).

In honor of work together edition...
I have been giving away my old music for free. I've worked on about 7-8 games' worth of music with anons and 1 small game company, and none of the games were finished. I also have a lot of music made in my free time.
You can find most of my instrumental music here:
arcturus.bandcamp.com
soundcloud.com/arcturus

enjoy!
Also, been working on tracks for Caelum (by an anon in AGDG). Has been fun so far, I plan to make a lot more music for them.

>>135321145
you mean a rogue like?
>>135321457
In case you're still alive and you want to quit.
>>135321145
It's been done. Google "roguelike." Also Steel Battalion did this kind-of but you could prevent it by ejecting before you died.
>>135319269
it's ok, could afford to catch the attention a little more.
also, this sort of mechanic can be very frustrating to deal with. e.g. the indicator shows up but you can't actually use the hook so you fuck up your jump (very frustrating if there are consequences), or you want to attack a nearby flying enemy but instead end up accidentally using the hook and flinging yourself towards it (bam, collision damage and a fall).
so, i'd advise against making this mechanic context-sensitive.
>>135320723
huh, that bandcamp is familiar, i'm sure you already posted this here a few years ago.
your music is neat-o, but i don't really see it working in games, for some reason...
>>135321380
you get a better idea
>>135321145

>>135320607
thanks!
i do have an answer for all of those, as it turns out, but
>mechanically, is this what you want?
i will toss the idea if gameplay involving it is odd
i just thought it'd be pretty neat to have a large, snakelike shadow moving around beneath the ground. it'd be a nice fright for unprepared players
I have a philosophical design question.
Right now, my UI has no logic whatsoever outside of the absolute bare necessities required to display its own stuff. This results in game code calling UI functions in places that make me uncomfortable, such as something that's supposed only doing physics related things telling the UI how fast I'm moving or that I've done a physics related thing.
I don't like that though, because I don't think my physics thing (to use that example) should be interacting with the UI at all. It doesn't feel right.
On the flipside, the UI could instead poll said physics thing and get information from it. However I like that even less because for whatever reason I think the "dumber" your UI is the better. It doesn't seem right for the UI to know that level of information on one specific thing in the world.
Should I tell my UI what it needs to show, even if components that ideally shouldn't be doing anything with UI are doing it? Or should my UI be checking in on components to get the info it needs? Or maybe there's an obvious third option I'm missing?
>>135321889
first introduced in rogue. do you call a minecraft clone a voxel costructor?
>>135321145
No, I'm old but for some reason I really appreciate autosaves and checkpoints so that I don't have to play an area all over again just because I died. I hate having to go through tedious content that I've already experienced. That cutscene or puzzle or combat area was fun the first time, not the second time.

I don't like the frogs, though. I would sharpen their textures, change the shading to flat, and bevel it. It would look more toylike and the polygon edges would more more intentional.

What can your player do?
What skills do they learn to master before facing the boss?
Think of attacks that can test these skills
Then you can find a theme that fits them all, and bam, that's it

I honestly don't remember seeing it. I was working on a wind waker clone with an emphasis on a robust trading system and was listening to Mastodon's Leviathan album. I thought, it would be sweet to be able to sail a ship out and assault Jörmungandr. Then I was like oh shit what if you could fight creatures/gods/goddesses out of norse mythology.
So now it's full steam ahead.

Either way, no one is forcing you to make garbage. Look at Unity's 2016 showcase reel. Doesn't exactly look like garbage to me. Not every unity game needs to be Candice Debebe's Incredibly Trick Lifestyle. Unity and Gamemaker are just tools. You don't blame pencils or paper when criticizing art, you blame the artist. Same here. You don't blame the engine, you blame the programmers who worked on that engine.

This is a pretty old problem without a clear cut answer. Look up Model-view-controller and the issue of whether the model or view should communicate directly, etc.
Personally I don't think it's worth the bother unless you're making some massive game with a huge amount of UI. Just stick with what you're currently doing.

There is an intermediate that either knows the UI and updates it as needed or the UI polls this intermediate to update its display.
On the other side of the intermediate is your game layer which has similar things; either update the intermediate or have the intermediate look a the game state.
What this does is makes it so the UI has no idea what the data it is it is displaying, only that it has data to display. The gamestate has nothing to do with UI's at all.

Back in the GM7 days there were a few 3D games one of which even had online multiplayer. GM:S should easily be able to handle what you want to do.
But the questions is, why would you do that to yourself? Have you looked at Game Maker's 3D functions?

>2D games made on 3D game engines
Is this as bloated as I imagine it being on system resources or is it fairly optimized?
Your Mario platformer clone may look like a spitting image of the original Super Nintendo game, but the game is a full 3D camera that is just snapped to looking at a flat canvas with flat characters/elements that move around this flat environment. It could look good aesthetically, but the computer is needlessly loading all of this logic and scene for a 3D environment that isn't being utilized in your 2D game.
darkened some of the bright pinks, idk why her roll attack did that but it did.
>>135330119
Your Mario Clone will also be 1 gig+ in size
>>135329163
I dont want to create a 3D game though. Just a 2D game with 3D backgrounds.
>>135329307
that is impressive for having been done in GM.
>>135329647
well the game is still going to be 2D, I just want to have 3D levels. Also I already have some stuff programmed in gamemaker. So its just a matter of figuring out how to load 3D models
>>135329562
This is a little more serious than
>LEL DARK LINK SO KEWL XDD.
He is fighting the physical manifestation of his dark and cryptic past. The amount of character development is astonishing, and very emotionally driven.

CPUs, even low end ones, can handle massive amounts of floating point operations per second. Every operation on a useless third value in the entire game would probably tax the CPU less than 0.01%.
GPU-wise, whether the game is 2D or 3D you're going to render everything as textured tris because that's how GPU will best perform.
>>135330431
Don't let me dissuade you. It isn't a game for me, but if you have a passion for it then keep at it and I'm sure you have an audience of like-minded people who adore a game like that.
How do you go from amateur/indie to full-blown professional/AAA dev? You just have to be really really really good and then someone notices you or is there a trick to it?
>>135330280
Unity is a lot better suited to making 2D games with 3D worlds than Game Maker is.

I've kinda hit a wall of what I know now that I've started working on the Paper Mario fan game combat.
What is the best method for coding in an RPG enemy?
I assume giving each enemy a totally unique script is not the proper practice, but I also don't feel like it'd be right to make one giant enemy script that could somehow umbrella all possible enemy instances.
My initial idea was to have a class for attacks and a class for enemies that included an array of attacks. But I'm not sure how I'd go from there as most enemy attacks are completely unique both in visuals and function.
>>135332879
I'll write the design document

>>135333293
How about a game in space?
>>135333027
You have a base class which all enemies will share such as attack, magic,Item, and whatever else you like. Then you will have specific enemy classes of say a Goomba for example which inherits from the base class and then implements it's own Goomba methods and then sub classes of Goomba will inherit Goomba creature of say an Angry Goomba which has it's special own attacks this is how you would do it properly in a professional rpg

My trick was applying for an internship
They said something like, they usually expect interns to be a "negative productivity" factor, but they hope they at least get to "zero productivity". In my case though, I was as productive as a junior programmer, plus the government paid for most of my paycheck, so they were really happy to give me a second internship the following year and eventually offered me a job since I was so experienced with the company now

Sweet, glad to have you here!
So, my intention is to create an engine with (nearly) everything to be written in Lua, and a share of things done on the C++ side to speed things up (think Love2D). The main things in C++ are obviously Input, Assets, Rendering (and I'm going to throw in collisions, because I feel that's important).
Right now I want to set up rendering. I have a game loop in C++ that draws stuff. And I can even add a sprite to the DrawSystem from a script (but very, very weakly).
How do you separate your render code from your game logic? I mean, I'm also thinking a bit bigger too. How to organize Entities between Lua and C++. Since I want the game to be written in Lua, Entities should be defined there. But adding a SpriteComponent in Lua should somehow add it to C++ and keep it and its position updated so that it's drawn in the correct way/place. I'm having a hard time thinking of how to do this.
Should I have a C++ EntityManager that holds an array of SpriteComponents to be drawn and pass that to the DrawSystem, or should the DrawSystem hold them itself? If so, then how to go about updating it? Especially when the CollisionSystem will need to have the same position update as the Sprite.
Sorry for going on and on, but this has been rumbling around my brain all day.
>>135335867
It's worth noting that you're either one of us or one of them on 4chan. The namefag mentality of this place means that building a reputation will ensure you encounter resistance from some direction. 4chan has an awful case of "Tall Poppy Syndrome", meaning, like you said, anyone who wants to become successful will eventually have to move somewhere more supportive and positive in general.

How would I reproduce the glitchy pained moaning at 1:48 in this video? It's perfect.
Also, how would I make the arena interesting? I feel trapped by design to have everything enclosed so you know where the ball is going to bounce but I'd love to have gigantic skeleton lords looking down upon it and other spooky effects.
>>135335504

And he hasn't posted much at all lately because this place is shit, it's inbred and innately negative. He's on reddit now like every other dev with an ounce of sense. He launched his newest game just recently and hasn't said a word to agdg about it.

It's better to just not even bother with this place. Aviary Attorey was one of the best illustrations of that for me personally. Got nothing but drama and shitposting thrown at him and when he found success the same people who trolled him off the board started claiming his game as one of theirs.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being here. I've already learnt plenty. You just have to remember that this is still 4chan and not an IRC filled with your favourite internet friends. If you forget you're going to encounter spite and jealousy that's your own fault. You have to keep in mind that by posting progress you're instantly better than 95% of AGDG. As long as you're secure in this knowledge, without being smug, they can do you no harm.

another thing that is important to state about first year jobs or internships in the industry is that you have to live breath and eat programming/art and show you are willing to put hours into it
>>135336128
To separate game and render logic, in the update loop you call the lua script, then render, every loop.
Lua can share objects with c++, and a way you can "connect" lua with c++, is like this
>have a function in c++ that adds a sprite
>you can call this function from lua, and the sprite is created and stored in the c++ world
>have a "updatePosition" function in c++ that takes an index
>lua can call this and the sprite at "index" stored in the c++ world will be updated
The sprites will be stored in a dynamic array (vector) in c++, and will be used in the rendering code.
Lua will be able to add and edit them by index
>>135337454
I don't know what your capabilities are here but you could go for spooky skeletons arching over the top in a hemispherical shape. You could then just model an invisible wall to the same rough shape as though the skeletons were the enclosure itself. Might look weird though.

I ended up watching this
https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/projects/2d-ufo-tutorial
It helped a lot with the basics but I was having trouble trying to implement my own things
>>135337595
Yeah, my loop is basically handleInput(), update(dt), draw(). So I guess I'd update the sprite position along with the Entities position both in the update(), huh?
I guess my question now is how to organize Entities on the C++ side. Because in Lua it's easy and just a table because tables.
Let's refine the example a bit:
On the C++ side I want (at least) two types Components: Collision and Sprite.
How do I keep track of the Entities without redundant copies of the Components.
Should the DrawSystem and CollisionSystem own their Components, then the EntityManager keeps track of the Entities by Index, each of which has pointers to their respective Components?
Then on the Lua side, I can get the Entities by index, which would have access to their Components to be updated. Then the Systems each have their respective Components in nice, contiguous memory for efficient usage. Right?
Just trying to visualize this whole debacle before I dive in.
So this boat and mecha jam, is that boats and mecha, or boats or mecha? Also, why is it such a long jam? Time limit should be 2 weeks at most, and 1 week is better I think. I'll need to talk to your manager.

>>135338328
It is sometimes useful to have copies of components for each system. Common example would be rendering and collision detection. It does add the complexity and overhead of keeping these components in sync.
Obviously, if the component is identical for both systems it should just be shared. You could split up components to be finer grained. It is a series of tradeoffs.
>>135338595

Not him. This is how I would do it, though.
First of all, systems don't own components. Systems are not 1:1 to component types. Components are just data, systems provide behaviour.
http://www.gamedev.net/page/resources/_/technical/game-programming/understanding-component-entity-systems-r3013
This is reflected in the Lua code. I would not, however, transmute components into tables. I would provide access to their fields with getters/setters - you can use metatables to make them look like table keys. Systems are self-contained and therefore you don't need to worry about exposing them to Lua.
Defining systems is trivial, they are just Lua functions. You can also define Lua-only components as tables, no problems there.

I was only considering these two Systems owning their Components for the bonus of not having to pass a huge vector into the System each frame and also by having them all contiguously. This would, of course, only be the case for the two Components and Systems I've mentioned on the C++ side. Things would be different on the Lua side.
I would agree generally that they shouldn't be owned though, because some Systems require multiple Components and some Components go to multiple Systems. I get that.
>>135338691
I just don't like the idea of having two arrays of the Components floating in the EntityManager (which seems to be the only other way to capitalize on the contiguous memory speed gain). And having each Entity own the Components within in (in a vector or whatever) also doesn't seem ideal.
Though... then in that case each System would just own a vector of the Entities which subscribe to it.

Nothing's preventing you from keeping the components contiguous and avoiding copies even when the systems don't own them. And throw away that EntityManager idea.
This is a vastly simplified implementation with some regrettable design decisions (like putting everything in a "world" struct instead of just passing each system the components they are interested in), but it's a good starting point.

The speed gains come from having useful memory contiguously packed so that you can iterate over and operate on it with good cache coherency. Necessarily some sub systems such as collision will require some position, as will some rendering subsystem. However, each will probably have extra data along with the position that is not shared between them. It is up to profiling to see what is most efficient.
You don't want entities owning components, or even being able to see which components it has. Sub systems controlling components should communicate to implement such functionality.
Components should know which entities it has (keys/hashes) but it also shouldn't care. The subsystems that use the components are the things that care about identity.
Opinions, though. Many ways to do this.

I'll work on it some tonight but probably nothing too interesting will come up because something normally goes wrong.
>>135342428
This explains is pretty well, think.
Let's say you want to pick green color. Now what some people does is just darken/lighten the chosen color and that's where they fuck up. What you should do, is to shift the green to colors next to it, yellow and blue. Lighter parts are supposed to be shifted to yellow, as it's brighter color and darker parts are supposed to be shifted to blue.
The colors chosen in this pic are pretty desaturated, so it's harder to notice. You can also try to find some color palettes online and see how they work.

The difference can be pretty clearly seen here.
It's same exact sprite (tree from Terraria) but with different color palettes. It took me too long to realize this and I'm not wizard enough to use this to it's maximum potential, but simply learning how to use colors can affect your art this much.

They're created before the main loop and passed into systems that need them. Why do they need to be owned by something "bigger"? Get out of the fervent OOP mindset.
>An Entity shouldn't know which Components it has? But then how could you get a Component based on an EntityID or some similar thing? How are the Components kept track of and organized?

>>135343768
This is why I am terrified of showing my small simple games I have programmed
This game dev thing is kinda fun, too bad I can't art.
>>135343425
All these components are owned to subsystems that deal with them. If a component is not required by some subsystem then there is no linkage between them. Think, audio and rendering might have absolutely nothing to do with each other, therefore the subsystems and the components owned to them do not communicate.
>An Entity shouldn't know which Components it has?
An entity should really just be an integer key and nothing else. Subsystems make entities just like do something.
>But then how could you get a Component based on an EntityID or some similar thing?
Subsystems keep a list of keys they care about. These entity keys may exist in several places.
>How are the Components kept track of and organized?
Subsystems control the components. They are in charge of creating and destroying entries.

>>135344151
I disagree with most of this. Yes, entities are just indices into the component arrays. But systems don't own anything, and they're not in charge of creating or destroying entities either (that should be deferred until the end of the update). It's much saner for them to loop through and simply skip over entities that they're not interested in (i.e. don't have all the requisite components), there are many ways to optimize this.

>What does it mean to say systems down own anything?
To me, systems are the "things" that define entity behaviour. I would implement them as simple functions.
>Something has to own the components.
Why? What's wrong with simply allocating the arrays and passing them where they're needed?
>>135345894
How many times are you going to keep saying this, cuck? People disliking agdg even while inside it is not a meme just because it happens all the time. You are the meme.
>>135348470
you can dislike something and still take part in it
HOWEVER
there's a big difference between campaigning to make a place better and simply telling everybody that they should leave for somewhere else, the latter solves nothing

>>135348307
Of course. 4chan lets you be wrong with no repercussions. The nodevs can have their victory because at the end of the day, they're still nodevs and won't make a single cent from deving.
If you really want AGDG to be unable to claim you as one of their own, just never post here.

It actually sounds pretty cool to me. Give it a story that you unlock through terminals and diaries and stuff.

I reckon it'd be cool. Be too complicated for me right now but I'll add to the stolen ideas list.
>>135348434
I think there is a bit of misunderstanding. When we have a larger program we need to structure it such that we have these sub systems with well defined communication between them.
Regardless 'just like allocate an array', the array has to live somewhere. It almost sounds like you are giving global access to these component arrays.
She's gonna think I'm a fag isn't she..

>>135348924
Depends on where you are. America? She'll think you're a dork. Australia? She'll think it's interesting. Germany? She already thinks you're a loser.
>>135349075
I already know how to program and have used Unity a bit it's too much work to program an entire game by yourself. You need an entire team to get it done I would need 3 other programmers and 2 artists and a music producer and 2 designer
>>135318471
No way man, you could make it a turn based escape game with safe-zones and enemies you need to defeat on the way through each level. It would only add to the suspense by giving players a headsup that it's coming. Forcing them to create distractions like the Kinjal Infantry.
>>135344012
Read that article way back when I started to get into ECS and followed it pretty religiously. But I found it's not super extendable. Very rigid. I want something more dynamic (thus my leap into Lua).
And then where do you suggest the Components reside? In the Gamestate itself? As globals? In the Engine alongside the Window and Timers?

>>135349343
So scale it down, get a working base running and find some people (preferably IRL) to help you. The one thing I've learned (and I am still learning how to apply it) is that shit only gets done when you want it to and you put in the effort. There are no barriers, you don't need a degree you don't need a massive production studio. What you need is the drive to create and the will to find ways to ensure you can achieve your goals.
>>135349201

>When we have a larger program we need to structure it such that we have these sub systems with well defined communication between them.
Passing things around is the best communication method possible.
>the array has to live somewhere. It almost sounds like you are giving global access to these component arrays.
How are you getting "global access" from "passing them where they're needed"? A class that does nothing but hold things doesn't need to exist. I don't see why even bundling them up into a simple structure would be useful - you'll never need to do anything to all component arrays at once.
Here's a concrete example of how simple it can be:
http://hastebin.com/itetegobey.cpp
No globals, no useless classes, no overengineering, descriptive types. Tons of room for extension and optimization.
>>135349509
What about it is inflexible? It's not incompatible with adding scripted components and systems.
>>135350814

I'd found that making that painting in HD was easier than making HD pixel art, at least my hand didn't hurt and it took pretty much the same time.

>>135350779
just keep practicing.
over time your technique will be better.
It's like playing piano.
learn your cubes, your perspective, things like values, planes.
try to make a good pallethe using adobe kuler and try to see the relationships between colors, how a 50% gray can be a really dark or light color depending on what surrounds it.
Look up ctrl and paint for tutorials and read loomis and vilppu.
>>135350814
I mean, you have to add a lot of boilerplate code to add even a single extra component.
I appreciate your procedural style of coding, but I don't think it makes thing easy to understand and isn't well suited for this type of situation.
>>135351338
In what sense? You add a new entry to the mask enum and make a new array. You're done, you don't have to change anything that doesn't use the new component.
>>135351338
>>135351394
I mean if you look at the sample there is literally zero boilerplate. All lines of code that aren't spacing or "}" are doing something useful and necessary.
>>135351394
I guess I'm considering it in the case where I want things more organized. I suppose I just don't like free-standing functions or variables. I prefer things to be logically packaged together somehow. If that makes me "fervently" striving for OOP, then so be it.
>>135309962
What does the back of the boat say?
>>135352073
Believe me, when you get more experience you will be much more comfortable with code that ISN'T overly packaged together (coupled). If you want to logically organize ideas together, use a design document or something. Don't put things together in code just because they're related in your mind, or just because it feels good.

This hurt more than it should have. Steamchat was, but I think that just makes me sadder.

hopoo hates /agdg/ threads. He never posts here, only in steamchat
Honestly why is steamchat even a part of /agdg/. They don't use this thread and we don't use their chat. If anyone uses both then who cares, it's no different than devs that post in other communities along with agdg.
>>135353724
It really isn't. They have tons of stupid memes just like these threads, but to make it worse we can't filter steam chat. And there are names, which creates a terrible vibe.
>>135353783
>programmer part of me wants to keep adding stuff
>idea guy part of me has no idea what the fuck am I going to do with all these features
>>135353990
Steamchat is a part of agdg because it's an offshoot of it. There may not be much overlap anymore, but their roots are the same.
>>135345331
It always makes me chuckle considering that slipstream is one of the few functional games that I still sometimes play for fun for like 2 or 3 runs.
You don't even have to talk about those games though, think about RoR. Agdg always goes around telling how Hopoo is their bro and idol but the truth is this guy probably doesn't even give a fuck about agdg anymore, but obviously he's not going to say it.
Even worse, he has just used this place recently to shill his latest game when he hasn't posted any progress for a while. Any other dev doing that would have been shamed as fuck.
I'm not even going to start talking about all of the *good devs* who have left this place definitely. But each time you mention it agdg just plays dumb.
Hey, I am using Unreal 4. How do people make a shield impact visual effect that spreads out and returns to normal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh2Y7Rh4UQk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VozAvdeY8eA
Looking at this but don't really want to pay 20 dollars for something I could make myself once I have the basic idea.
I have seen free tutorials that just have a capsule around a target and spawn an actual mesh on impact but that seems dumb compared to figuring out some fancy way to do it in the material.
I need to look into depth maps more, probably. Can you use depth maps for things other than the angle between the player camera and objects? Or am I completely off track.

You can't be that much more delusional.

bunch of smug etlists
>>135354375
Game dev is like an MMO in some ways. Once your power level increases to a certain level, i.e. you release a game, you want to circulate with other people on your level. AGDG has some amazing talent within its pool but everyone is anonymous and the more successful you become the more you will only want to network with other successful people. I honestly cannot blame anyone for choosing to ditch AGDG once they have their footing, this place is way too entry-level and offtopic to be of service to actual devs.
>>135354696
I'm not trying to defend them, it's like comparing New Yorkers to Texans. They might hate each other but they're still part of the US, it's just that one of them is objectively better.
>>135354668

I don't know how people can post in steamchat. Whenever I post with a name I get nervous, what if I accidentally offend someone and they go on a witch hunt to ruin my life?
It's a lot comfier to just post anonymously and try to help people as much as I can without worrying about what people think of me based on my name.
agdg is objectively superior to steamchat

yeah thats why I usually don't post anything identifiable on here. there are other places you can go on the net to namefag that wont blow up in your face. also, i track outbound links for shit promoted on 4chan and very little traffic is actually generated from here, doesn't seem worth it at all unless you are an anon making a meme game as an anon dev.
>>135355254
>>135355323

kek do actually browse /vg/ outside of AGDG? This place is pretty good when the shitposters are asleep, there are some threads that are fucking shit right around the clock. Just look at /d2g/ and /lolg/.
Anyone know of a decent Android app for working on pixel art? It would be nice to be productive during breaks at work.
how do you guys think my tiles are comin?
One amazing thing about AGDG is how it always bites the hand that feeds it.
The best example I can think of is how catmouth is the only dev that actually gave away for free one of his 3D qt, but still got shitpost to death.
>>135356631

HUZZAH, CODE PROGRESS.
It took really long, and it's still a bit messy, but I was able to get the goomba to bonk me WITH a code based trigger instead of anything collider related.
I don't know how /agdg/ feels about iTween, but I basically used it to set up a coroutine with yields and tweens in it to get the motion right, and within the coroutine there's a bool that gets flipped on the target so it can enter a blocking state if they press space.
Webm related shows what I got done. First without pressing space to block it, and then with it.
Currently, the block window starts right when the jump starts, giving the player 0.3 seconds to press the button. Is that enough time you think? It felt pretty short at first, but I got the hang of it after the first few hits.
>>135354696
>Anyone posting over there can clearly tell you how they mock this place everyday
Hey retard, anyone posting in agdg is agdg. Agdg mocks itself regularly.
You sound like rotatedev with your "us vs them" bullshit.
>steamchat is EVIL because they didn't like my memes and respect me ;_;
>>135321380
There are plenty tutorials out there that will guide you through the entire process of making a standard side-scrolling platformer.
Have you actually made a tutorial game with unity yet? Not sure why you would want to try to build a pixel sidescroller in 3d mode. Probably want to get accustomed to unity before you consider starting your own project.

Nobody gives a shit about your ancient namedev drama. Nobody even knows who the fuck progressman was. You are the one promoting stale ancient memes about people from steamchat who upset you once. Steamchat has nothing to do with that, it's you.
>>135356932
Honestly that jump animation lasted so long you'd need down syndrome to not hit it every time. Consider making the window smaller, don't be afraid to make the block something only vigilant players can pull off (within reason).
>>135356932

Really? Maybe it's cause I don't have a controller set up and am using the keyboard for the presses. I couldn't hit it when the window was 0.1 or 0.2 seconds.

>rotate is still butthurt about being banned by steamchat
Banning you is the only sensible solution for any community that doesn't want to die of cancer.
>>135357368
Remember when 4chan when down the other week? Steam chat did that.
That time you clicked all the images of store fronts but still couldn't pass the captcha, steam chat.
>>135357508
You're the one in control, if you feel .3 is good go for it. You want to have the window delayed to the end of the swing rather than active for the entire animation. Players should not be rewarded for slapping block the instant an enemy moves.
>>135357719
That time you meticulously pored over dysfunctional code and never found an error. That was steam chat too.
There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn’t he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little rotate post up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don’t even fill in the captcha. Maybe you’re such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The “disgusting” transgender girl, isn’t it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it’s ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that’s right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she’s probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about a fucking nodev tranny. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic d*nny NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can’t even try to talk with you because all you say is “IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME CHECK THE ARCHIVES.” You’ve become a parody of your own self. And that’s all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he’s done a million times now. And that’s all you’ll ever be.

I tried to go for a "limbo apocalypse" style. Death comes to watch, corpse spiders also watch from the church, monks are falling endlessly into the void andyou're a skeleton.

Those skelly spiders are spoopy, however, the floor texture, hard line between the flames and floor and lack of lighting being cast by the flames looks kinda shit, sorry.
Unless you're going for the cheesy-retro mid 90s tunnel shooter look, those flames and textures need work.
So I was reading the CryEngine license agreement when
>Without limitation, Licensee shall not...

you're right, I forgot to make them emit green light. How would you suggest I improve the ground other than with a texture? I know I want it to be bones and skulls but maybe I'll need more than a normal+displacement map to make it look right.
Thanks for the constructive feedback.
>>135358461
how about setting the monks on fire?
>>135358729
Most of the meshes featuring skeletons come from my necromancer game so I'm mainly recycling assets (did some work on them still but it's nowhere the amount of work it took me to make them initially).

>>135357774
>>135357965
Aye, that's entirely possible too. Don't know when this'll be at a playtesting level yet though.
Also kinda dreading moving on to Mario's moves. I mean, I assume I should be able to do the same deal, making them into coroutines with possible interactions, but I don't know for certain how well that'll work, especially when there are SO many of them later in the game. Badges are gonna be hell.
Oh well. Meanwhile, I tweaked Gloombob based on some feedback from friends. I think he's looking a bit more unique now at least, though not sure if it's a good or a bad unique.Should his cigar be lit?
>>135359041
I actually thought of setting the monks on fire. If you can do it sure. You'd just need to add some audio of screaming that plays as they whip past.
>>135359041
Are you drawing the textures or using premade ones? If you're using premade ones, try to dig one up that either has much smaller skellies or is just rock. The huge skulls don't work as a flat texture and no amount of normal mapping is going to make those eyesockets look plausible.

It's not even funny anymore.
>>135359517
Yeha I'll do that. I didn't initially because it's a particle system that uses meshes and you can't give them components afaik. I'll just make a script to instantiate actual monk gameobject and give them an audio component and fire particle system.
>>135359534
I made the ground texture myself with a rock texture and a bunch of skulls. Would you suggest that I just add a lot more skulls or just go for rocks? Maybe it'd work if I made the ground's mesh bumpy (+ the displacement map).
>>135359712
You seem quite miserable.

It's really flattering I have a weird stalker. That means I've made it, right?
>>135359813
Smaller skulls so it's more obvious what the player is standing on. You can also add full length skeletons, skeletons pinned to Catherine Wheels and other spooky shit. Just get creative and make sure the texture isn't so big you have to noclip just to appreciate it.
>>135359939
I'd say so. I'm a little sad that I lost mine recently but they have to go on to stalk greater pastures.

hows that game on steam going d*nny
All you need to sell a game is controversy.
I've written web articles, making 1-2 bucks each, but when I decided to make shit up I made 10 dollars from the article. I said I found a bible in a libraries fiction section.
Games are the same. If you aren't making an offensively shocking clickbait game, your only chance is to make a Fun game.

So does /agdg/ ever give feedback on mechanic/story concepts before they've been developed or is it only about progress here?
this is frustrating
>>135360381
He's started and dropped at least 3 games since rotatevania
I'm honestly surprised he hasn't killed himself yet
>>135360553
agdg only gives feedback on mtf progress
>>135360597
I have no idea what the problem is, but have you tried asking slow?

How many projects is that for Blake Williamson aka Rotatedev aka "IT" aka the Tranny Nodev in the last year?
- child kissing simulator (created a webm of him kissing a stolen loli asset in VR, ended there)
- rotateguy (created a VVVVVV clone and half a playable level, ended there)
- rotategirl (put a pink bow on rotateguy for ludum dare because he wanted to be a big boy like mothdan, said 'i give up' on the first day and ended there)
- nonsensical rhythm game (no progress made)
- rotatevania (created a 3 second webm of the MC walking and killing a skeleton, ended there)
- "smash brothers clone" (created basic jumping movement, ended there)
- dan ashley the game (took the same stolen loli model from 3 other projects, stood it in front of a stolen SUV model, dozens of "progress" posts that agdg got so sick of they begged him to stop, ended there)
- this is it (took the same stolen loli model again, replaced it with a penis, purchased a new 3d anime model and made it's boobs jiggle, ended there)
That's 8 """games""" started and dropped in 1 year. No gameplay ever produced. Impressive.
>>135361224
You seem to be pointing out something, but all I see is "drama" and shitpost.
Video Shame.

He's really a she now?
>>135355179

>>135361396
8 unfinished projects in 1 year and he became a tranny to top it off. Video Shame indeed.

Depends on how you look at it. I'm just recollecting what I know of that """"dev""""s progress posts.
It's all in the archive.
>>135361536

But look at the content of your post. You're shit. I don't care about you or any of you.
Why is this so difficult? I really think it's a crippling lack of real life socialization. I hope that you, and all of you who participate in such things, decide some day soon to venture out into the world. It's not too late for you.
Your inevitable realization of how you've been spending your life will hit you, hard. And I'm not happy to point that out. It will be really painful. Consider carefully how you spend your time.
>>135361594
>>135361729
What happened Blake The Mistake? Did you get scared at the prospect of having to create gameplay for your most recent """""game""""" and quit yet again?
If you're so afraid of learning new things you're literally never going to be a gamedev. Why not go to /soc/ and /lgbt/ where you can actually meet the expectations people have of you to post there?
>>135361546
I'm not certain, but if his lips alone made me hard before, that one video really got me going.

Damn. I wanted to see if I could get any feedback on the partners/mechanics that I was thinking of trying to make for my Paper Mario thing.
Eh, fuck it, I'll post anyways.
This is also in the current order I was thinking they'd join, but it feels a bit uneven as far as usefulness goes right now:
>Gloombob - tattle ability like the other goombas, mobster with "sources." Only one I have really given visual and story thought to so far.
>Chain Chomp - apple to be thrown to hit or grab targets, like a koopa but you throw him in an arc instead of sending him straight forward.
>Blooper - picks up mario and carries him up vertically for two "bloops", at which point mario can jump off from a higher point
>Bullet Bill - acts like Yoshi/Lackilester did, ride it over terrain for speed, and boost over small gaps
>Whomp - Acts like vivian/bow, flattens mario to make him intangible (possible alternative I thought of for this would be a ninji that smokebombs you in and out)
>Either a Broozer or a Bully - hold the button to have them wind up, then they punch/charge forward and hit things/break walls.
>Spy Guy - zooms the camera out to reveal hidden objects (secrets and platforms/doors) in the scene. like Watt/Ms.Mowz, but more useful
Any immediate "no, fuck that" ideas so far, mechanically or otherwise?
>>135362108
I dont really get it, you're making a game using nintendo IP?
>>135362048
>implying steamchat even talks about you
You're blacklisted m8
Coming out as trans on /agdg/ shoes HUGE strength of mind. I'm glad Rotate is finally able to trule express how he is feeling.
You no devs seriously need to step the fuck down. And realize that people are free to express themselves. Especially trudevs like Rotate.
>>135361546
No he's just a guy wearing makeup and losing his mind spectacularly.
I'm reminded of 99chan. It was a wonderful, beautiful place for awhile. But there was this "board vs IRC" sort of dynamic. It was small enough of a chan initially, but this kind of fracturing just tossed everything to the winds. They were two separate communities. And eventually, the boards lost.
Congratulations, IRCfags, namefags, whatever. You have kept /agdg/ from being worthwhile.
>>135362175
Yeah, it's a fan game of Paper Mario.
They're actually kinda prominent, especially since Sticker Star bombed and Color Splash shows no signs of improvement.
It's meant to be a personal project for enjoyment. I won't be making any kind of profit from it, outside of learning new shit about programming I should have learned years ago.
There's a risk of C&D, but it seems like Nintendo is kinda weird when it comes to what they do and don't shut down. Pic related is a big ass paper mario fan game that has been advertising itself on Gamejolt for a long time and they haven't had any issues as far as I've heard.

>>135362509
Why are game devs usually tranniedevs?
>>135362617
You're mistaken, there has never been a tranny who was a legit gamedev. Rotate included. There are loads of trannis who like to pretend they're gamedevs though to add some extra pop to their special snowflake syndrome, but they're just pretending and if you hold them to it they prove incapable of actually doing anything. Rotate included.
>>135362562
>HELLO I'M HERE DID YOU NOT SEE MY POST
Yes we see you. You're as irrelevant now as you ever were.
>>135362541
I used to care. I was building machine/statistical learning tools to parse /agdg/. I loved watching new projects grow. It was a fun project.
But nothing will stand up to the people who so deeply require social acknowledgement, to curb their voice. I've given up. It's not a fun place.
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!

shitposting and aggydag have been together as long as I can remember.
It comes and goes. Generally when we have a lot of good devs, people shitpost less, and when those devs get sick, die, or get arrested the shitposting comes back
Here's a cool picture of death and the new touches on the ground.
The flames now emit on the ground and the skulls on it really look pretty good even if you clearly see the repetition. Not too sure how I like the effect on the big skull, maybe I should change the flame's color to regular fire or maybe purple.

He doesn't understand the Damn Daniel reference. This is what we get after 8 months of cucks like *****senpai and r***** and ******* blathering about danny.
I've skimmed 3 academic papers on Game AI Behavior Trees to try and sort out my RTS thing in UE4 but I cannot find anything relevant to my problem. Also, searching on the UE4 website hasn't helped.
I think this is basic enough of a question, so I'll try asking here:
http://blog.meltinglogic.com/2015/04/unreal-rts-rpg-movement-behaviors/
The Behavior Tree on the bottom of the article makes sense, but when the behavior tree resets... what's to stop it from coming back down and doing the same task all over again?
Once the task is complete, how do I move onto the next task or reset back to idle? Do I create a task node specifically for figuring out what the next order is? Won't that mean that I have to create a service node that will have to evaluate things? Won't that require doing it on every tick? Because that won't scale well at all.
AI is hard.
>>135363550

>>135363603
>I've skimmed 3 academic papers on Game
Game Design is NOT game dev.
>>135363603
>Once the task is complete, how do I move onto the next task
That's exactly what a sequencer is for.
>or reset back to idle?
Not being idle would be determined by a selector, no?
>>135363697
i'm trying to solve my problem on my own and making effort to try and figure it out but it's not leading anywhere. so i came here to try and ask for help.

Daniel Ashley of St-Ignatius, 27 years of age, please stop posting.
>>135363785
>Not being idle would be determined by a selector, no?
yes, the possible tasks are being determined by selector... but the problem is that when i change the task to something like "move to location", the task never changes and so my units are stuck in the "move" state even though the task has been completed.
So once the task's sequence is completed... I have no way to proceed to the next task (or otherwise change the current task to idle).
I just can't figure out how to explain this in terms of the behavior tree that UE4 wants from me.
>>135363789
That's sourcefam, he's never made a game in his life or even come remotely close. Nevermind him, he wouldn't have any useful advice for you even if he weren't insane. We laughed at his Source maps and his "level design" before and he never got over it so he just babbles at strangers now about how _____ is not game dev. He's like that kid who gets bullied and becomes a bully towards strangers to feel better. Basically a waste of human life and resources.

Here's the thing, though. Where is your game?
>>135364024
It just sounds like you don't have a sensible structure. Behaviour trees are one part decision making and one part state machine, so you need to be careful.
Usually the top-level selector (what I assume you're having trouble with?) would be based on priority, so it would never get stuck. Can you show what your current BT looks like?
Do you have schizophrenia?

Looks good, maybe try and create a more definitive colour palette. You've got purples and greens all over the place. If you're going to have regular fire maybe the ground should be more of a greytone. Other than that nice work so far.

>>135364569
You're not supposed to use a BT on top of another state machine. I don't think a BT at that level is useful because it's just responding to input. A more practical use would be for navigation (obstacle avoidance, bottleneck management, etc.) after the player has said "move to this point".
>>135364749
Aren't FSMs supposed to be for animations and shit, though?
My understanding is that unit AI is done via BTs which are assigned to AIControllers, which possess individual Character units.
Where's your game?

>>135364819
Player-controlled units in an RTS don't really have AI, though, they just carry out whatever they player tells them to do. Barely any decision making involved, it's more "instinctual" swarming behaviour if anything.
By "state machine" I mean the external "idle/moving" state you've introduced - the BT has been turned into a glorified if statement. And state machines can do anything, it's just a common use case is describing animations.
Behaviour trees just don't seem to be the right fit for what you want to do.
