I would appreciate your opinions on this attempt at tree from imagination
progress haha :)
>>140620040
It looks like that tree is on roids.
No use in making a new thead.
Friendly PSA to ignore shitposting.
>>140620040
Trees shouldn't have 2 trunks.

>>140620040
Extremely odd and weird (the early split into two big parts is unrealistic, a bunch of smaller parts should split from one main axis more progressively) but if that's what you're going for it's distinctive, and might be good in the end.

No, you kill it.
Unless you find dog piss and bathe in it, then the dogs won't attack you and you can get to an area with a special dog item.
I came up with this idea myself.

Why don't you migrate to MonkeyX?
>>140625295
Thats it, Im retiring from amateur game dev.
>>140625470
Because it's fun to use BlitzPlus.
Okay, this is how you initialize an array with values
private int [] zzz = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};
How do you do the same with a 2D array?
>>140625019
It was supposed to be a human...
>>140625812
{{1,1},{1,1},{1,1}}
>>140625501
What scares me away from MonkeyX is the fact that you have to pay for some stuff.
im going to an hero the source code anon
>>140625874
Well now you have a better idea.
>>140625907
thanks mate
>>140625945
You mostly pay for modules that do advanced stuff. There's nothing you can do in blitzplus that you can't do in monkey with only free modules. Also monkeyX2 is coming.
What about blitzmax? seems like the logical update to blitplus
>>140626091
no probs.
>>140625812
no, you got that wrong
it's
int zzz[] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};:^)

Making the settings menu
This is the most boring thing ever
Haven't posted in a while, but I've done a lot of refactoring and art adjustments, and decided on a working title for now. I'll be working hard over the next week to ensure the demo is ready now that I have a lot more time.
Past few days I've been working on an interface redesign, graphical options and rebindable controls. Thoughts on the readability of these fonts?
https://a.uguu.se/cvuozc_2016-04-30_17-33-32.mp4
Fixed the inventory and made this day/night system... it sucks for now. Progress is progress, right?
At least the inventory is working now.
>>140627747
Damn, that's clean
>>140627867

>>140628172
Well, duh, it's a 2D tree.
>>140627867
That's one good looking UI. If there was one thing, it would be that maybe the contrast between the background and the non-highlighted stuff is kinda low, at very high resolutions that might affect readability.
Does anybody know of some decent showcases of 3d Godot?

>1. draw a bunch of squiggly lines

>>140633698
I'm still a beginner in pixel art myself so take my advice with a grain of salt but don't be afraid to play with contrast more, try to use darker and lighter colors and see how it looks like.
Despite what I said your tree is quite good, I don't think there's anything wrong with it in particular.
>>140633698
Nothing looks outright wrong with this one, but there's not much to say without any context. It could be the best tree ever in the right place, or a perfect tree on it's own but fucking terrible when placed in-game.

Making tile sprites for my map
I'm just pretty annoyed because it's quite a lot of work and it's going so slow

I thought it was pretty straightforward?
I just added things one after another and they are all in there.
Changed the base color in step 8, but other than that it was just adding stuff.

I would like to change contrast depending on weather and time of day, if I ever get such things working that is...

thanks to all of you
>>140633698
i been doing art for quite a while and ill try to give you an advice (mostly from nature illustration i seen)
1. i think your construction is good, i mean the overall shape is very sharp and realistic, so you got that right
2.trees are with no doubt are hard to color, most of the trees iv seen have flat colors or really deep shading, and most of them don't have alot of branches. some artists like to stylize their trees like pic related to create some dramatic effect
3.you definatly should have focused on highlights before small detail, you do have some but its just not noticeable
4.its hard to see the big picture when only 1 asset is presented but its easier to shade trees that have leaves in them, dead trees are certainly good technical practice
>tfw you look at your day's work and know you're gonna make it
I'm pretty satisfied with today's work
What is the reason I will never play your game:
1) You have no game
2) You will never finish your game
3) Your game is bad

NODEV SHITTER ALERT
I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction for some software. I need to make stick-figures in 3d, animate them and take key-frame screenshots. I am going to use these as my sprite sheet placeholders for now, but I am going to use them to paint my pixel art layers on later. I don't know if I should be using blender for this or what. The end result will be unreal flipbooks, if that makes a difference for what program I should use.
>>140638259
i recommend blender, in fact i also made a tutorial about this

In a dungeon, except you start in a prison cell at the lowest level of the dungeon and you're trying to escape. The final floor or two is the castle, the final boss is the king that imprisoned you.
progress:
> made map objects cluster together sometimes
> bugs/performance
makes the maps better. before, map object placement was completely random.. which meant most of the map was the same.. with forced clustering you can have areas of forest/grass, or groups of zombies, which makes it play better and seems a bit more varied
i also made my mapgen spaghetti code even more spaghetti -__-
>>140640219
it'd be interesting to have a melee only outside of stuff like magic or bow and arrows rougelike game, not sure if there is something like that,
>>140640219
why is everone always trying to escape a dungeon, why not make game where you try to break into a dungeon?
like the game would be these really really long walk through a beautiful fantasy world and end with you breaking into a dungeon and locking yourself in your cell.

A dungeon. With a ring or an amulet deep inside it. You have to obtain that amulet, and then escape the dungeon. You can play as an Elf, a Dorf, a Human, or maybe like a half-orc or something. There will be goblins and slimes in the dungeon, so you'd better be prepared.

>>140641838
Why would someone want a different resolution for windowed and fullscreen?
>>140641867
thats because transformation re-process your image, every program do it differently
>>140641838
How do you even do multiple resolutions without screwing up the sprites? Do you make multiple sets of different sized sprites or does your game just squash/stretch them? Not looking forward to UI and menus, I only finished the main menu and that was a pain for me. Still need to do settings, handling multiple inputs for multiplayer, options, etc. Yuck.
>>140641703
I just started the game dev really and have done the basic tutorials of both game maker and unity.
my problem is i have no idea what game to make. I have a couple ideas but I'd like to pick one and stick with it for a while so I can learn and make something cool.
Anyway, tell me about your first game yesdevs. Did you have an idea that you really wanted to explore?
>>140641867
Use vector art if you don't want blurring.

Not him, but for me I like windowed games to be at 720p or (or lower for pixel-shit games) so I can click on stuff on my desktop. Full screen is for 1080p.
I'm not even sure who is memeing who anymore...
>>140641960
I don't know but I've seen games have different settings for both, so why not?
There's also a borderless window setting which just uses the resolution of your desktop.
>>140642168
>How do you even do multiple resolutions without screwing up the sprites?
Everything is rendered to a native resolution of 960x540, then the final image stretched to whatever resolution the user picks. It's lazy but I can't draw at a higher resolution right now, it'd take me forever.
>Not looking forward to UI and menus
Can't blame you, it's the thing I hate the most.

>How do you even do multiple resolutions without screwing up the sprites?
people told me there is a way to scale the output image without blurring everything
it's basically just zooming in shit like windows photo viewer
I forgot the name of the technique though
the next time you hear from me, I'll have finished my dwarf fortress-like
>>140643779
You must mean point/nearest neighbor filtering.
This gets rid of the blurriness but this only useful for games that use pixel art.
You also have to scale things at integer scales (2x,3x etc) or else the pixels get distorted.

Are you legitimately autistic? He didn't post the image, he posted a screenshot of someone's tumblr. I.e. you drag out a screen region and don't particularly care what you get beyond the thing you're pointing out -- In this case, the user it belongs to and the important part of the image. No one involved actually cared about the picture, let alone a handful of pixels on the bottom of it.

There are a lot of mechanics that people take for granted "because its bideo gaem". Dying is one, the abstraction of health as a percentage is another, they're all over because people are not as creative as they think they are.

You consuming instant coffee in the first place.
