second for possible multiple party members
It's finally over. It's time to go. Put all your projects in the trash and empty it. Or put them on a hard drive and bury it. It's time to quit and do something else.

Nice atari game grandpa.
>>137104843
Thanks! How's your game coming grandson?

What are you working on today son?

it's...
now i've made a walking animation and tried doing a couple attack animations for this test guy.
one of the attack animations wasn't very good but this one turned out alright.
>>137106568
Looks super good,he gets kind of rigid at the end of the animation. though.
>>137106095
those mechs though
>>137106718
thanks.
and yeah i got a bit lazy in the end, since he's just a test enemy. for now i'm just going to hope animation blending will cover that stuff up somewhat.
>>137106874
Is that a compliment? I didn't draw them, someone else from the thread is doing art for me. I think his name's Anonymous.
>>137106095

Is this font better for both the main text and the buttons?
>>137108243
You know... There's probably no reason to have all those buttons always available.
>>137108243
looks good but its too small on the right side
maybe if there were a lewd of that YES girl it would look better

>when you land dunk on someone who's fishing.
>>137107601
they look pretty good imo
>>137108459
Granberia is a placeholder and the replacement is being made
I really don't want to make the left hand side any smaller, since I think I've hit the sweet spot in between for ants and too big. Plus, I need 300px for muh logo and stuff. Do you have any suggestions on how the right side can be made larger?
>>137108446
I don't think a special menu just for those six buttons is needed. Do you see them as an eyesore, or were you getting at something else? The tab buttons are always required.
>>137108690
Well just thinking like from non-browser games. They'd always hide that kind of thing from you.
I mean maybe ALL of those buttons could be pushed away into another menu, unless any given one needs to be clicked a lot.
No clue how gamey it's going to be, or if they really are going to just mostly / only be reading...
>>137108645
I think so, too, thanks.
Here's a link to the current work in progress, version 0.1, of Kobold Adventures. Note that your scrollbar will look crummy unless you use Chrome. Neither Firefox nor Edge provide CSS ways of altering the damn thing, and I refuse to get a jquery extension just for this purpose.
>>137108889
The tabs (Scene, Stats, Status, Inventory, Save, Load) will see frequent use. The six smaller buttons not so much.

>>137109314
>The tabs .. Save, Load .. will see frequent use.
strong doubt
Also I strongly suggest you change "stats" and "status" to separate words. Having "scene" right before that doesn't help... too many "s" words of similar lengths. I know it sounds autistic but... best case it looks a little weird, worst case it will cause people problems.
>>137109848
There'll be people who will want to save after each and every choice they make. I know, because I used to be one of those people in every single last RPG I played.
Status could be changed to Condition, but that's a bit too long in my opinion. Why do you think it'll cause people problems? At most they'll trip over it maybe once or twice, but by then muscle memory should kick in, right?
Scattering loot in containers (only barrels for now) and the corresponding loot tables all up and working. Fixed some bugs, but created even more
>>137110201
Well, is there even a solid reason for separating "stats" and "status"? They seem like they could fit in the same window...
If you're deadset on those, you could consider changing "scene" with"chapter".
There was a time in my life where I used to saved all the time... but I found it hurt my enjoyment of games, so I stopped doing it.
In some games it was just so super easy to save/load that I did it anyhow, but I feel like it hurt the experience anyhow. Hard to have self control when it's so easy.
I was good and made lots of progress today so I could stay up and play hyper light drifter. You can now throw your sword like a boomerang to whack stuff. It also uses your charge, to make a bigger and bigger effect, a la mega man X. Its pretty fun.
>>137110545
Stats will contain statistics. How many people, creatures and kobolds you've fucked, how many times you've been fucked yourself, how many things you've killed, coins you've stolen and so on.
Status will be your mental and physical status.
Replacing scene with chapter might be a good idea. I'll certainly keep this in mind if anyone else reports a problem with it.
GameMaker Studio just got a massive update. GM forums are getting a massive update at this moment.
Making fun of it before the update or calling out devs who use it as not being real devs is no longer a valid hobby for nodevs/bullies. GameMaker is now a legitimate game dev engine and stands alongside the greats like Unreal and Unity and Godot. /agdg/ hereby certifies GM:S as an official toolset for amateur game developers. No one is allowed to bully GM:S devs or shit on the engine for whatever reason from now on.
>>137111251
Either rename stats to record(s), or rename status to condition.
Are you making your own soundtrack for your game?
I am
>>137110295
>Fixed some bugs, but created even more
It's truly the worst feel
I manage to break my save/load system all the time, and I really regret implementing it so early in development.

I think I'll either end up renaming Scene to Chapter or Stats to Records. I'll make an issue on git to remind me of this. Thanks for the help!
>>137111526
am I going to have to port all my code to newGM in order to get all these cool new features?
>>137111719
I usually know how to fix it, but I still make fundamental changes every now and then that requires me to rewrite parts of it.

manual texturing is more fun
>>137111917
>I like restricting myself
C# or Java?
>>137111987
?
it's not restrictive at all. it's just more fun.
>>137111652
I'll probably make some simple guitar tunes as placeholders.
If I manage to write something good I may keep it.
>>137112018
both are equally good
master either and transitioning between them is easy
>>137111987
How is it restricting?
>>137112034
Do you like spending 10 times more on texturing then you actually should?
>>137112075
I already know Java and started my game in c# to get a feel for it but Java might be more cross platform so I'm thinking of switching
>>137112158
Super ugly.
>>137112158
I like it

>>137112178

Smartasses.
>>137112172
how far into the game are you?
If you are already very good with Java using C# should feel quite natural and you may as well just stick with it
I hate grids. Why won't you work properlyyyy
>>137112354
Literally started yesterday so starting over would be easy. I'm just concerned about the cross platformedness of c# is lacking.
>tfw when you started programming in java and any code that doesn't follow java conventions looks wrong to you
>>137112668
that's because java is the king of languages
>>137112668
My condolences
>>137112391
Is it on press or release? The view moving may be messing it up if it does something on release.
>>137113005
It's on press. I made the grid at the start with all the walls in it and then deleted the wall objects but it seems to randomly pass over blocks some times. I don't want to leave all the walls in because that's a lot of instances, and deactivating them outside the view and updating the grid when moving doesn't work for other reasons.
Not sure what to do right now.
>>137111872
You don't have to recode anything. Just use the easy-to-implement drag and drop system. It will save you time and allow you to focus on the meat of your game development.
>>137112892
>>137112729
If I see another person opening braces on the line under an if statement I'm going to be triggered beyond repair
>>137111526
Fuck GM. I tried it out when it was free and used the starting to tutorial to figure things out. I made a few of the tutorial games and even though they functioned, they were glitched out. I tripled checked that I used the tutorial exactly right and all the games had the same glitch. I uninstalled it after that and now you have to pay for that shit.
>>137113332
>braces
thanks lua
>banned from /v/ for three days for posting goldface
I can finally start working on my game
>>137113332
I think people get taught this in university or something because I only ever see computer science graduates doing this
it's like they can't understand code that looks like
} else if {
perhaps they think it only compiles when all the ifs and elses line up in a super autistic manner
>>137113174
Well, you can draw the grid and the path to look at it, if it helps. Just draw it on gui to see the whole thing at once.
>>137113892
Haha everything in red is the impassible part of the grid. I think I'm just gonna start over tomorrow

Hello guys, I have probably a stupid question
I am making a game w gameplay centered around navigating through menus.(Like main menu will have sub menus like Communication center, Engine room etc and they will have their own submenus w actions that player can perfom, like turn on/off engines and stuff)hopefully you can understand what I wrote
How do I program this w construct? I am more of an artist then a programmer.
>>137115741
haha jeez
>>137114578
I made a giant metal hand.
Hoping this even loads but
Tell me if this title screen loads and what you think of it
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12024286/Bootkit/index.html
>>137116158
How to program a game is very broad question, I don't think any one here is using construct but a good place to start would probably googling menus in construct.
>>137116442
ok, thanks!
>>137116342
that's vaporwave as shit mate
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/03/30/visual-c-for-linux-development/
lol
>>137116158
1) Learn to use Construct
2) Already be able to make a game
That's literally how it works.
You can help yourself along with the process by making a handful of smaller games (a la jams, or whatever you're comfortable with).
After finishing them you'll be comfortable enough with the process to make your masterpiece.
>>137117353
This is either gonna be EEE or Microsoft is getting desperate to get people on Win 10.

>>137117749
>Releasing linux dev tools to get people on windows
eh
>>137106568
Blender?
>>137116158
id advise against construct for this task.
Not very user friendly for UI and stuff. Nevermind it isn't supported.
If you know some web development stuff, (which would help you with the UI shit), use Construct 2.

Oh wait
Please, if you're a developer, stop being so defensive when you shill your game. No, you're not literally god. Your game isn't your perfect little child. It's flawed.
It turns real critics/analysts off and doesn't get them to play and interpret your game.
>>137118241

he's stepping forward, but his feet barely lift off the ground so it's not quite obvious what he's doing when he's not actually moving.
when i get him moving in engine, i might find i want to change the animation in that area...

Eventually we are all going to have to get a newer windows, if for nothing but DX. This is the first actual reason outside of it.

Anyone familiar with blender and knows why this happens? One half of the model is solid the other half has this weird transparency effect where only the surface you look at is transparent.

Yup. Next time use the mirror modifier. I personally like to use it with clipping enabled and the 'adjust edit cage to modifier result' option.
>>137120017
Try not to scale anything in modelling programs unless it is sub selections of individual vertices. Why this should matter is beyond me. 3D modelling tools are decades behind.
>>137120138
mind explaining what you mean?
>you don't need to know maths to program
>you don't need to know maths to make game
of all the memes this one is by far my favorite
>>137120289
You know how your faces normals got flipped? Bad things happen to materials, bones, skinning. Don't scale things. If you think something has been scaled, try and find the way to reset the scale, or bake it. It is just general advice for 3D modelling.
The exception is if you are editing vertices, you can scale them.
Which one looks cutest?
>>137120319
Eh, you really don't.
If you're not an absolute retard, stack overflow / google can fill in all your shortcomings.
Sure it's better to know math, but it's still at least well within the realm of possibility to work around such a shortcoming.
>>137120319
(You)
>>137120402
there's literally only one girl there, so C
>>137120360
So basically don't scale in object mode. That's the first thing you learn about Blender. Scaling by -1 will still flip your normals though.

Thanks for advise.
>>137121656
Well, your problem is still too vague but: Plan out everything you'll probably need the menus to do.
Once you have that, it's easier to plan out how to make the menus without shooting yourself in the foot (making some menu features but then having such a hot mess that it's hard/impossible to add later features).

Go full on into game development while saving money for four or so of the six months, then pay an artist for assets and finish your game. Take assets required into account while making the game so not too many unique characters/enemies.

>>137123145
It's easier to say than actually find good assets. I would gladly even buy a pack like Kenney's, but I haven't found any yet which would appeal to me. This is the reason why I miss the days when I was fucking around with RPG Maker back before it was legal to use it. There were a ton of sprites which you could use, and most devs I cared about just used the ones packed in the basic RTP. So all the games had the same graphics, yet they were still fun. As I see nowadays you can only use RPG Maker assets if you actually use them in an RPG Maker game, which is a shame.
>>137123750
you just use blobs or squares dude
you can code 2 stage blobs too for animations and then easily replace them with the real art
you are the programmer so you are the one deciding what dimensions everything is

>I miss the days when I was fucking around with RPG Maker back before it was legal to use it.
Guess I'm not the only one. Despite the "too many RTP" shitposting that went around the communities, I was enjoying working with RPGMaker too. It's more appealing to work with sprites than "just a blob and cubes" and some people just don't understand that.
Also I've noticed that RPGmaker artists were more generous with arts as long as you didn't forget to credit them. That was awesome.

Watched a video on mobile games from GDC. Holy shit they really only care about money. They like to give lip service to making games and that the players are people, but in the end they are just walking wallets to them and the game is a monitisation vehicle with graphics.

>>137124671
Here is a good summary of how he views thing in this QA. He has been talking about splitting up the playerbase where different subsets test totally, dramatically different styles of their game so they can increase player retention.

Fuck off. I'm so tired of shitposters like you coming into the thread and trying to get people to leave with your "wow this thread is shit and dead!" talk. If shitposters trigger you that much, filter them, they use the same few memes every time they post, so it's extremely easy to filter. If you don't want to use the filter, fine, but stop being a whiny bitch about it because you shit up the thread just as much as they do. You could have just posted progress without acting like you're some kind of savior that will save us from shitposters.

I don't understand the complaints about agdg. Sometimes progress gets ignored, it's not a big deal, it just happens. It will happen in any forum or community. You guys shouldn't take it as people scoffing at your game, thinking it's so shit that it doesn't even deserve a reply. More than likely people looked at it, thought it was neat, but don't want to just reply with "neat", so they don't reply at all and they continue working on their own game.

You just need to be alright at programming and math. Being a great artist always helps, but games like Stardew Valley and Undertale are ugly as shit and still make millions. The really important skill is design. And being a determined dev that can focus on one project for years.
>>137126690
>Stardew Valley
>ugly as shit
what aspects are ugly?
do you consider harvest moon ugly too?
>>137126775
Are you seriously going to defend Stardew Valley's art and animations?
It's charming and the colors are nice, the actual art and animation is terrible.
>>137126775
Not him, I wouldn't say it's ugly as shit but it sure is unpolished.
>>137126851
I've never actually played it (nor would I)
but from a few videos I saw, the tilesets are reminiscent of harvest moon no?
not the character sprites or portraits though
those just make me want to heave
>>137127041
Overall it has only passable art.
Undertale is top notch work.
>>137126593
I don't know what those gaps even are considering all you've done in the last few weeks is download someone else's tileset and placed a river using game maker's built in editor. And I guess you scaled those tree sprites too.
>>137127041
Harvest Moon is one of my favorite games, and I enjoy Stardew Valley a lot too. But their art styles are different.
Not saying Stardew Valley is terrible art though, that anon is just dumb. Stardew Valley is a lot better than most pixelshit programmer art that people try to pass off as finished art.
>>137127041
>the tilesets are reminiscent of harvest moon no?
Yeah, on purpose I bet too.
But they're just not very well drawn, just have a look at the plants and tell me they're anything but the most basic, unpolished way of drawing a pixel art plant.
It's passable and looks nice mostly due to the colors.

I know I can't achieve much more than that.
>>137127938
You're retarded.
But speaking of Dark Souls, how come the UI looks so shit in Dark Souls 3?
It's as if they remake the UI for the sake of remaking it not to make it better.
>>137127618
pixel art is 2 though
>>137127938
If you're 1MA you shouldn't aim higher than early-mid PS2 graphics unless you're okay with taking a looong time to make your game. Stylization is your friend.
>>137127602
color scheme/understanding a bit of color theory, understanding how light works ( there is a direct light that is the brightest for instance the sun and there is an indirect light that is the reflection of the direct light bouncing off the floor, also some diffusion throught the atmosphere etc.)
Something that helped me a lot is color theory used by many expressionist artists and how they shaded dark areas with color.
Google "80s toy" and you should get an idea of form and color of this exact model.
I took a break from dev after being sick and shit for weeks, finally making progress again as of yesterday.
Working on the first area, reworked landscape, level design is laid out and began work on it. New music, sfx, jumpboost type pickup made, models, the structure youll climb is under construction, reset to checkpoint when you fall in the water, and probably some small stuff I'm forgetting.
Learned to lower bitrate on webms so they aren't short as fuck. Made a youtube of yesterdays progress it kind of looks shit at low fps though (beyond how shitty it already looks, amirite)

Kek ive missed this kind of commentary.Also kudos on the shitposters seemingly being removed. Fucking A+ mods
>>137129335
When you hit an obstacle or barrier the force speed doesnt reduce so its better to just go full speed and hit the side barriers instead of slowing down a bit in the curves. So it basically is something like this:
if(press forward)
{
speed += 10 * Time.deltatime;
AddForce(transform.forward * speed);
}
I dont want to reduce speed on collission which seems unnecessary but something with the velocity value.

>How I Learned to Copy Photos in 6 months
Hey agdg, my game is three levels long, and each level takes around 5-15 minutes to complete. The final boss sequence is around 5-10 minutes as well. Since it's a rather short game, it currently has permadeath in it. But considering the difficulty of the last few parts of the game, is it a good idea to make the player go back to the start of the level rather than replaying it all over again? Maybe penalize the player for not completing it in one go? What do you guys think?
>>137131196
wow you are telling me if i put time and practice into something i will improve?

>>137131512
yeah, even if it's a short game, permadeath is too harsh for casual to middle level players. If you keep it, the only crowd that will ever play is the hardcore. Back to the start of the level will be received as "tough but fair" and a little bit retro, by the general crowd.

The more I work on turn-based games the more convinced I become that games with an execution element (i.e. action games) are superior. Turn-based games without any elements of chance, such as Chess, are basically about calculation. You just go over all of the options, as far ahead as you can before you get tired of doing so, and pick the best one as far as you can see. If you add a timer then it just becomes a game of examining as many options as possible under the time limit. If you introduce chance, such as dice or cards, then you just have to factor in statistics to figure out the optimal move.
In the end every turn-based game is about crunching numbers. Math and geometry. Execution-based games are about physically *doing* and draw their fun from that. They do not lose any power once you realize the proper algorithm you should follow to optimally examine moves. Throwing a ball up and then trying to catch it is fun no matter how much you know about the physics involved.

>>137136419
there is, it's commonly referred to as "programming"
Who wants to collab with my sister?
>>137136303
What about turn-based games with action elements? Like action commands in Paper Mario, or the pseudo-real-time-combat in Valkyria Chronicles.
Isn't that the best of both worlds?
>>137136419
Just like use Vulkan!
From Fix Your Timestep he refers to having states previous and current and then interpolating between them during rendering to have smooth animations. This implies you store the entire game state twice and copy it every update tick. Is this correct? Does this sort of thing scale to something like an RTS with shitloads of entities? Do you only do it for dynamic objects, or a subset of them? Are things like the current 'points' or 'lives' or what ever also stored in these states?
>>137136419
you know as much as I wanna laugh at this I remembered I did something similar last semester
>>137136929
I feel that turn-based games are almost inevitably obfuscated math. Making decisions is fun until you realize the pattern you need to follow to make the right decision every time. Then said decisions lose their luster. The real time element, however, holds up. At least as long as it stays challenging for the individual.
I like Paper Mario (and a lot of turn-based games, actually) but thinking as a designer, would the game really lose that much if you didn't have to do the trivial math on which attack to pick and when to heal?
>>137137521
If you can win by following the same pattern every time then it's just a badly designed game.
>>137136303
I mainly play turn based games to collect classes and raise stats. In games like Disgaea, Phantom brave or FF tactics.
They also tend to have a decent writing and art to keep players interested.
Whats with all the "gamedev" twitter accounts with female model profile pictures? THey are bots right? Why? What do they do?
for everyone laughing this is the map of the movement tiles
so you see, there probably isn't really a clean way to do this other than manually or a bunch of different loops or exclusion loops
doesn't really matter anyway since on game creation those 4 arrays will need to contain those points anyway
>>137138013
They work on games. You can even hire the bots and they will produce code for your games. It is really quite incredible.
>>137136303
That's what people who are fans of those games like, though. Creating strategies and executing those strategies. Good turn based games will give the player lots of tools, and lots of situations, no one tool should ever be strong enough to just completely steamroll any situation.
What do you guys think of hexels? Are they an interesting alternative to pixel art
>>137138097
Honestly, if you want to write that all manually you can, as long as you will never change it (you will).
If you think you can't code a simple solution to that pattern you might want to hit the books a bit harder.
>>137138097
Do what? Determine the section a tile belongs to based on its coords? Doesn't look hard as the edges aren't arbitrary.
>>137137667
I don't think I can name a turn-based game which does not rely on social dynamics (e.g. Diplomacy) in which there is no set algorithm to follow via which you can find the best move or estimated best move. Chess is about looking over all possible options and picking the one which produces the best move. Humans generally don't feel like doing so so they look over some options then go "fuck it" and move ahead. RPGs, in which effects are easily measured in numbers (like damage, health), are reducible to actual equations. Cards games are about finding the estimated-best move via Chess-like calculations plus statistics.
>>137137751
Yeah, I've been slowly coming around to the some conclusion. RPGs are usually very high quality skinner boxes with a good story and theme.

But if you sit down and actually do the math it is very probable that one strategy shall emerge as dominant. Is it really formulating a strategy if there is a right answer and that answer can be derived by doing the math? I think things like strategies are only ever truly possible if you have an element of simultaneous resolution, moving the onus from number crunching to getting inside your opponent's head. Yomi. Convincing the other players that you're going to do one thing while you're actually going to do another.
I actually really enjoy strategy games such as Civilization but I'm starting to treat them as experiences to be enjoyed rather than puzzles to be solved. I know that if I do my best to win I will break the game. It only works if I don't think too hard about how to find the right answer.
What's the most fun game engine?

Agree. Roguelikes are more about the learning experience and applying it. Most of the time you die to apathy once you are past the initial hurdles. Computers don't get apathetic.

Hmm I'm surely not doing infinite lives, but infinite continues would be ok, placing the player back at the start of the level. The player won't be able to see the final phase of the boss after continuing that way.

Godot is fun.
Some structural changes here, which I think are making things more interesting:
1) moves can now specify whether they factor into "variance tracking" (which determines move use repetition). This was originally so that gunshots wouldn't rapidly destroy your variance (since they fire the same attack over and over), but is also useful for environmental kills and taunts (more on that below)
2) We now track accuracy as well. So your gun "rank" and your melee "rank" are disparate things (accuracy and variance) and are factored together in determining your overall grade (something which is going to be added now)
3) Taunts are now treated as melee actions. This way they can be entered into the activator system; now gun and melee each have 3 key actions (aim / shoot / reload and melee / special / taunt), and for standard controller layouts taunting can be placed on the reload key so if the gun isn't out, taunting is easily accessible. Useful because...
4) Taunts are getting a major upgrade.They will now have points and names for your combo string and will affect your multiplier (in addition to the major boost they give to your combo/overcharge).
They also now trigger AI response; unlike Platinum's favored approach of "enraging" enemies and making them more dangerous, taunts have "hitboxes" and specify AI responses on a per-taunt basis. For instance, see here an AI whose personality values cause him to only shoot. By taunting him with "You're Next", he will immediately run straight for the player, ignoring any level hazards between you and him. In this video it lets me bait him into a charged Kikaigui attack
Taunts are difficult to get off (even chip damage cancels them) and leave you vulnerable, but they grant huge combo advantages and also let you abuse the bejesus out of the AI if you're skilled. You could, for instance, kill all the enemies in an arena without ever using an attack, just by taunting them into mines or pits (and yes that is an objective I would dream up)
>>137140053
if you do it well eventually you build a system where making it is fun

Making games is the same as every other skill in existence.
Take playing an instrument for example, yeah it's fun to play a song perfectly but to get there you had to train for tens or hundreds of hours beforehand, and that wasn't fun unless you're mentally ill.
The same with making games, you might have fun after you implement a new system and it works but then it's back again to implementation that's not fun any way you want to present it.
If making games was fun like you're saying you'd have a game by now anon.

I'm not sold on fast ship and projectiles because it sounds like it'd just be dodging on reaction time alone.
I reckon it'd be fun to have a fast bullet hell with very large projectiles to dodge and momentum on your ship's movement so even though there may be much more room to move around in, you have to think a little more ahead with your movements because there's a bit more commitment to it.

Hey I saw you on 3 but forgot to reply. Your models look like they have REALLY random polycounts. Like especially on the car.

welcome to naval warfare
>>137149895
>once an enemy gets behind you you are fucked
So like real boats?
>>137150106
well, real boats don't fight at close range, and should have side-facing weapons, not forward or rear facing. the closest it gets in modern times are little machine guns (we're talking mounted .50s and 40mm autocannons, here) and CIWS pods, and classical naval warfare was mostly about showing the enemy your broadside and attempting volleys from as long a range as you can, hoping to outrange the enemy's cannons with your own slightly larger ones and inflicting disabling damage (tearing up sails, fouling decks, etc) forcing the enemy to break off rather than attempting to destroy their ship outright.
And literal boats, like RHIBs or rowboats or small sailboats don't typically fight. They're for sighting and boarding, since while a ship is fragile, nothing a ship that small can carry will ever get through even the bridge windows of a battleship or proper frigate/cruiser.
There's a misconception that naval warfare is like tank battling but on a bigger scale. It's similar, but not quiiiite that close because of the way weapons are typically mounted and the disparities between armor and maneuvering versus the power and accuracy of your munitions.

Who UE4 here? I'm jumping into it from Unity and I got questions.
>>137159434
people usually don't run games in the background, i think
you'd need a way of tracking time when your game isn't active, which means pulling it based off the internet of a server i guess

>>137159579
I've got a question - why?
Why not stick with Unity?
So I registered an account to use with Greenlight so I can retain my anonymity. I bought some Steam cards so that I could pay the submission fee without putting in credit card info, etc but apparently they want your name and address even if you're just using a Steam card.
To preempt the people who read what I wrote above and say "then what are you gonna do once you're greenlit duhhhhh": form an LLC/S-Corp/whatever.
My real question is whether I can submit a game to Greenlight on a "limited" account (ie an account where I have not personally bought anything on the store but have had the submission fee gifted to myself by a friend).
>>137159745
>phones have clocks in them
you should never use a phones internal clock in your game because the first thing people do is just change the date forward to unlock stuff
unless you don't care about that
>>137159579

>>137159891
you can have anti-cheating features, like animal crossing
time-travelling is noted after the DS one, and even in the GC/64 Animal Crossing, it would tend to create a prohibitive number of weeds in your town and cause villagers to think they'd lived there for decades and move out and shit. trees also die afaik
This is supposed to become an isometric view mech sim but damn cruising around in third person sure is fun.

That sucks, I could get on board if it was Ruby or Python but I don't think I'd want to learn a weird mix language that doesn't apply to anything else.
i have a typical rpg with stats levels and perks
each level you can choose a perk
which perks are available is based on past perks, current level, and stats
stats can be increased (by items) or decreased (by debuffs) temporarily
question
should those stat changes affect the choice of perks? wouldnt it be annoying to switch all equipment for those "+1 STR" before leveling so you can take a better perk, or to be debuffed just before leveling up and not being able to take what you could seconds ago?
im really lost on this one and i hope you understand
>>137160902
That's fine man, that's why other engines exist, it's best to use what you feel most comfortable with.
>>137160957
>wouldnt it be annoying to switch all equipment for those "+1 STR" before leveling so you can take a better perk
Yes, that seems like bad design. Why should what I have equipped determine perks?
>>137159997
>>137159791
I'm evaluating it for an upcoming 1 year project, and yes it may really matter which one we use. Either way it's better to know both.
>>137159912
I'm trying to create a simple component that I can attach to any actor and run a simple behaviour. I'm doing this just to explore how to do shit. In my example I'm just shooting lasers in all directions from the actor (via debug lines).
I'm trying to do this with an "ActorComponent", and I'm drawing lines fine, but I'm seemingly unable to get a UProperty to show up in the "Details" panel. Is it not possible to do this with an actor component? Is using an actor component not a good way to go about this?

I DON'T like the mechanics, I'm sick of fishing games being a fucking struggle between meters. The fish comes out of the water at you and you time a button press to beat it with your pole would be better, or it nips you and you have to wiggle it off to grab it by the tail. Either way, you successfully catch it. For a fishing game to be fun, you shouldn't have to struggle to catch it, it should be enough to find a spot where a fish will bite and you actually engage. Losing isn't fun and doesn't require skill.

>>137162102
it's really garish. the style's pretty messy, and the bloom above it all doesn't help anything.
>>137163553
it's because around 25k people got the game through kickstarting it
>>137163734
It's a 2d game.
It's not like 60fps will make the animations have 2x the amount of frames.
>>137162941
1.41 multiplier? What?
Is that like the amount of ground covered in a diagonal step or something?
>>137163192
Both? The variables aren't showing up anywhere.
>>137163848
>It's not like 60fps will make the animations have 2x the amount of frames.
Unless you interpolate them, depending on how competent your graphics programmers are.
>>137163848
>60fps is only better because of animation smoothness
>>137164181
>higher fps in a 2d only game matters
>>137163290
but that don't exclude you from the fun you're having now. Why not take your mech-building, and integrate it into the play you're having cruising around solo? Think about it
>>137164373
>>137164181
Should I bother with 60fps if I'm making some 2d shit with gamemaker? All the successful gamemaker games are 30fps
Will it even be any harder to program?
>>137164559
I don't think Hotline Miami is 30fps.
>>137164559
No. Only advantage is that the movement looks slightly smoother. With 60fps you need to use more optimization as GM:S is shit.
>>137164373
Why does being 2D change anything, smoother is smoother.
>>137164559
You don't "bother" with 60fps, you make your game properly and it runs at any framerate.
>>137165164
>Why does being 2D change anything, smoother is smoother.
Because if you're making a 2d pixel art game you're programming everything on the pixel grid and with frame animations.
FPS shouldn't have any input on your game in that case, if it does you're a shit programmer.
>>137165049
>With 60fps you need to use more optimization
