I made a short news to talk about art and the incoming Greenlight campaign.

(1/2)
>>138658018
The same way you do any piece. Layers. And in some cases, do each part individually if you want the player to move over and under things.
>>138658405
I mean if you look like Bailey Jay, that's one thing but
I'm trying to implement screen shaking in GM:S without using views. my idea is:
>have camera object's depth be smaller than HUD's so it wont shake
>create surface size of the screen
>use sprite_create_from_surface() to get "screenshot" of everything under HUD
>draw black rectangle size of the screen
>draw the sprite over it with randomized offsets
This should work, right? I tried to implement it, but it doesn't seem to work properly. It works when I get sprite from application surface, but that draws HUD too...
>>138658727

>If the game is accepted on Greenlight, I still have to see if I will make an Early Access as soon as possible, or wait a few months to release a complete game.
>In the case I'm not making an Early Access, should I keep a free public demo?
I still have to decide if I will make an Early Access. After all the game has been in free Alpha for 15 months.
>>138658018
its pixel art but the guy who made this didn't lay pixels individually, he just had a hard brush that draws 50 pixels per stroke

I'm starting the trailer with one million nanomachines making a giant superstructure.
I should write "ONE MILLION NANOMACHINES" on the screen to get people attention.
Here is the WIP trailer (you can activate subtitles), I'm currently casting people to make real good english voices:

id knock the basic architecture/lighting in google sketchup, then go into photoshop using pattern brushes
its clearly 90% modular, what kind of autist would do this by hand?now remembering when phil fish said he did every voxel by hand, for all 4 sides of each level, instead of building a randomized/modular detail system. 5 years of dev time i guess...

i really hate these "explain like im 5" videos.
nightmare mode: theres literally a voice explaining the game like a tutorial
its a trailer, not an infomercial. your goal is to get people hype. thats why AAA games are all set pieces and visuals now.
save the explanations for the description/features section where the people who are interested will continue reading. i know its hard as a dev because you want to explain how cool/deep your mechanics are, but it doesn't make a good trailer.
imo the purpose of a trailer is to keep things vague but get people interested.i also fucking hate when they show the whole movies plot in the trailer

They obviously did their best to make this, and it looks kind of neat, but it will never sell a lot of copies despite its low cost because kids aged 2-5 generally don't have Steam accounts.
So in the end they poured their hearts and souls into this cute little game, but they won't make enough money to make ends meet, and they won't be able to entertain more children with their creations because of their financial failure!
This frightens me. I don't want to end up like that!

The hype trailers work very well with genres people know. Especially Action, Shooters, etc.
A game like Factorio has a very complex gameplay and a very good trailer. But every part of the trailer is logically linked to another thing (mainly because it's a transport belt game), so they can this wonderful one shot sequence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR01YdFtWFI
My trailer is more a Greenlight trailer than a simple trailer.
It's a trailer made to explain things, and talk about stuff which is not currently available in the game.
I think about it more like something between a trailer and a Kickstarter video, specifically made for people who will spent hours programming for fun in a game like this.
(but maybe I'm wrong)

I am making one of those games when the story is told in a strange way. You got bit of informations and you have to put them together.
It's like the actual opening video, told only with memes. Yes, it's cringe, but it's related to those people who force memes into their translations, the same way the narrator is forcing memes to make it look like he is "your buddy".

i don't think there should be a cinematic trailer because this game does not have alot to show
the game is in the gameplay, so the devs made the proper choice
>>138661023
greenlight trailer is same as any other. people come in to see a product out of 1000's, they have no investment and tiny attention spans. you have to grab them within first 10 seconds. the moment you go into explanations i think you lose them
sorry to being up this disaster of a game but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHgDoVgaSuo
here they show the uses of vehicles and the building, but its not boring. imo, thats what you should do. just show the nanomachines doing cool shit, with intercut SHORT bits of building just so people know "oh u build them".
they dont need a tutorial on how to play the game, at least not for the main trailer.
again this is just my opinion
>>138659454
please dont launch it with that voice acting

>What do you guys do for the voice acting?
Cube guy here.
I actually made an audition and got 30 submissions. I will pay $75 for 45 lines of dialog ($25 + $50). I paid more than most jobs, but there are only a few lines (the pay should be worth the job) and I wanted some quality. I got a few professional who answer and I am currently happy with how things are doing.

>>138661857
There were some lulls in the explanation but it still had cool moments. I like the fact you put the gimmick right at the start with how the nano's work. Though you couldve simplified kind of.
This kind of genre sort of relies on actually seeing the puzzles and stuff be solved (Or just worked on). Which you did at parts. Examples: Space Chem, Infinifactory, etc trailers. The weird VA will atleast have people sharing/remembering the trailer for "So bad its good."

There is a total of 40 000 to 50 000 players for this kind of game. And that's when the guys who make it are very famous (like the World of Goo guys with Human Resource Machine). A game like Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts sold 770 000 units. Besiege, who is also about building and using physics, sold more than 1 500 000 units.
The "explosions everywhere with physics" games are very casuals, even when they can do really complex stuff (like Besiege).
I have to either focus on the very niche of people used to play programming games (and used to put tens of hours in them and wanting details), or take the risk to target a more casual public.
I will surely make shorter, more "action" trailers, but later. When there will be people who already know the informations I'm giving in the current trailer.

I want people to make the bigger ingame computer ever seen in God is a Cube. Like those autists on Minecraft with redstone, but like 10 times better.
Pixel art is very much an aesthetic choice today and requires actual talented artists who draw from scratch right?
In the past did people just convert images like scenery to pixelized versions like pic related?
In the vast majority of games design is as important as the tech which means that making a decent game would probably require someone on the tech side and someone on the design side. Right?
If someone were to make games with the sole intent to improve their programming ability it's probably best just to use common art/design assets. Right?

Cubeman! Good to see you are still working on your insane psychedelic weirdo game.
Here's a tip for your Greenlight trailer.
First 10-30 seconds should just be visual eyecandy, activating, stimulating and intriguing. The explaining can come after that.
Don't worry about them not understanding things.
You first need to grab their attention. Then you explain the product.
>>138661605
save it for the game itself, putting it in the trailer makes it look like you don't know what you're doing, and that there isn't an interesting story

I've been following along with Fun With a Pencil, and my art still looks like shit.
Not even Loomis could help me, guess I'll go kill myself now.
Hi /agdg/, I have a question about an error I sometimes get in Gamemaker.
if instance_position(mouse_x,mouse_y,obj_thing)
{
var d; d=instance_position(mouse_x,mouse_y,obj_thing)
if d.image_index=0 {d.image_index=1}
}
The error message says that it doesn't recognize the variable image_index. Which means that d isn't equal to an instance. Which means that in the "d=" code it didn't find an instance of obj_thing at that location. BUT the thing is... why wouldn't it? It only reads that code when the if statement determines that there is an obj_thing at that position. Also, the error occurs rarely.
Is it possible that, because the position it looks at is based on the location of the mouse, there is some disconnect between the computer's cursor position and the game's code? Like could the error be caused when the cursor is moved at the exact moment between the if statement determining that there is an instance under the cursor but before it sets d equal to that instance?
I posted this question before, I forget if it was here or on /v/, but someone gave me a workaround. Still, I don't get what causes this problem.

I more or less agree with that. Loomis just has everything that people SHOULD be studying. Following his work just doesn't pay off quickly so I can understand why it's fallen out of favor.

Really, I don't know if any of those kinds of books will help me. Loomis focuses entirely on drawing humans, but my game won't have many humans in it, plus it's all pixel art.
>>138668123
Okay so you are retarded. Good to know, I almost spend mental energy on your question.
daily reminder that being good at art is a talent and not a skill and reading books about how to draw will not make you good at art

>reading books about how to draw will not make you good at art
Not without practice, you won't.
Nobody gets good at anything without actually doing it a bunch.
Laying the groundwork for a sorta-RTS game "inspired" by Evangelion. You'd play the role of Gendo/Misato, directing the robots, getting the kid to get in the robot, directing the conventional weapons, damage control and so on, through some sort of faux-retro computer interface. Probably gonna heavily simplify the actual fighting, so you move your units into hexes/squares overlaying a large map, and issue more general orders, as opposed to the regular RTS formula. The regular RTS micromanaging never really made me feel like an actual commander too much, and there will be a lot more stuff occupying your attention anyway.

You hire people for the work they will do, not the work they had done. They know a lot about limited instruments and how to put several subtracks together. They actually are the only guys who are both composers and stop motion creators with thousands of little pieces (like nanomachines, but with lego).
Actual music is this one, it's not chiptune:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru2I4ww5UJA
Pic related is part of the brief I sent them. I'm very satisfied by the work they done, due to the fact the music is very complicated (a 8 minutes track with 7 different parts).

To be honest, I was more thinking using a Shadman piece as a promotional art. I didn't look at the usual places (deviantart and so) to find a nice artist for now.

Just like how reading books that teach you how to play instruments, programme, and learn different languages never worked.

Not him, but at my community college, there's a glass case filled with drawings done by art students. There's a sign on the case that says "These drawings were all made by students who believed they would never be able to draw. As you can see, they improved their skills, and you can to."the drawings are all so fucking horrible holy shit i am not even joking

in krita i find it easy to save/load brushes that i specifically made for pixel art
you can also make custom workspace for pixelart and it also saves your color palette

>>138669817
good thing you didn't do anything past daydreaming
>>138664071
Not necessarily.
In my case, I have someone who handles the art for my game and I handle most of the programming and design. Of course they give input and ideas, but the main features were thought of by me.
And the other advantage to being the programmer and designer is that you can make sure you program it to be exactly how you wanted it.
>>138669817
Should've spend those months deving instead of ideaguying
>>138669618i legitimately believe art is something you're born with. /agdg/ always thinks i'm shitposting when i say that, and honestly i can understand why, but i've been drawing pictures for years and i still can't draw anything that doesn't look like shit, so i don't believe it's something i can improve on
>>138668820

nope. in elementary people always used to ask if i went to art school when they saw my art. you can keep deluding yourself into thinking talent isn't a thing but it is. just like IQ is a thing

>>138670897
It's different for every person. I'm pretty good with programming. Look up a guy named Stephen Wiltshire.
>>138670996
You're wrong!
When I was in kindergarten I could read up to G when my classmates only got to D! That objectively proves that I have better reading comprehension than you!

>>138671276
nice shitpost but seriously, what part of "they thought i went to art school" don't you get. normal kids can barely draw stick figures properly while i was able to draw realistic portraits with minimal effort
>>138671092
At the moment the idea was just jetski racing with aesthetic influences from n64 and early 3d arcade games while remaining a semi realistic and detailed look.
>my idea: island resort GTA
Yes I was also thinking about an island resort game, but I am not too sure if a big detailed island, that can be viewed from all angles and distances, is realisable in Unity the way I would want to, both in scope and technical limitations (Maybe if I can make my own terrain and water shaders that are optimized for good detail depending on distance and performance, but I dont know much about shader scripting)
>>138671498
Besides the obviois bait, I'll still reply.
You sound like an obnoxious tumblrite. People most likely pitied you and told you "Yeah anon, thats so great!" Because they didnt want you to sperg out and kill yourself or have an autistic fit.
>GUISE, CHILDREN TOLD ME I DRAW WELL THAT MAKES IT TRUE!
Post your garbage "art" so we can all put you in youre place.
Oh, you won't? Yeah, figured as much lmao
anyways, reminder that talent is a pursued interest.
I'm not even sourcefam or that other source shitposter, but I don't understand why Source isn't a valid engine in /agdg/? Some of this stuff is still ahead of its time, like procedural movement for enemies both bipedal and higher? The AI is still incredibly sophisticated compared to most of what we see in AAA games. The physics may have stagnated since then sure, how many other AAA games actually use physics as a gameplay mechanic as complicated as Source games? How is it worse than Unreal or Unity?
Some of this stuff is still relevent in the current gen. Still looks impressive as hell after all these years:
