This shouldn't cause any sickness in VR right?
>>143498290
That's retarded. First, what's the fear of them holding a grudge? Second, is your honest feedback "its shit"? Otherwise why would they have a grudge? People leave trips and names on and it's no big deal.
>>143498302
We already have that. And it's ignorable, a tiny minority. Most people who come here (who aren't scared off by torrential shitposting) are just here to talk gamedev without identity bullshit.
Per-thread post IDs on /vg/ is a good idea.

>>143499742
>having ideas.
Did you mean "having IDs", shitfam? Are you fully drunk right now? lol.
Just put up a separate no-music version of my game ĐiệnWorlds, for those who might not like a 100MB download:
https://thetagames.itch.io/dienworlds
For those who didn't see it earlier: it's a freeware power grid management/tycoon-style game (written in C) that involves cellular automata. I'm really proud of it, and just want others to see the ideas I had (I do think the game is pretty unique).
>>143499680
really?
>>143500120
Who?
>>143499458
>>143499742
The entire reason he shitposts every day is because he thinks he can get IDs installed by doing that. You'd only be validating his behaviour.
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here in assuming this is two people who are both not him, which I'm seriously doubting, but this message applies to everyone with similar ideas anyway.
The idea that a single thread on a board should have IDs because one person posts spam is fucking stupid. How would you even apply that, or are you saying the whole board should have IDs because of agdg shitposting?
Besides how stupid that already is, as you stated yourself, all the shitposting is based around assumed ids, so having real ids is only going to make the shitposting stronger and apply to more targets.
>>143500120
That's pretty cool anon. I have a soft spot for ncurses stuff, looks like you pulled it off well.
May I ask how you create the water/terrain maps?
>>143498792
Do you mind if I start putting your weekly recap scrapes on the tools site? I'm sure some people would find it convenient to be able to check it out without hoping someone will repost it.
Also,
There's still time to submit your game for the monthly recap I'm putting up if anyone like. Just reply to this post with a WebM/image (or multiple) and fill this out:

I'll be taking submissions until Friday, and then finalizing a layout and design and putting up the recap online. A small, unfinished demo of what to expect can be found at recap.aggydaggy.com.
If anyone wants, they can talk to me about getting their own aggydaggy.com subdomain for their games, projects, tutorials, etc. I already gave one to an anon to host their gamedev programming tutorials at boreal.aggydaggy.com and I don't mind handing more out.

The IDs last for one fucking thread.
If you couldn't contain your shitposting needs until the end of the thread at the risk of being "exposed" you shouldn't be posting to begin with.
Thread IDs are fine, its the retarded victimized mentality that needs to end with it though or else it won't work. Hence it won't ever work.
In a perfect world though, etc

That's not new, are you new? Do you not remember the /biz/ spamming? The more recent 420chan spamming?
He's been trying to move the community to a site he can more easily identify targets on since he first put the trip on.

Thanks anon, but I literally meant the image(s) you've already been posting if that wasn't clear, not scraping my own stuff.I already forked it a few days ago because I want to rework it to produce JSON data for my online recap page.
>>143500526
I wrote my own procedural generation script. Mountains are generated with essentially this algorithm:
http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Cellular_Automata_Method_for_Generating_Random_Cave-Like_Levels
Then, it assigns a heightmap to the mountains/non-mountains by iteratively counting up neighbors (so it ends up that mountains that deeply surrounded by lots of other mountains have a high height value, and similarly for plains, but in the negative direction).
It then picks a few random points to seed "rivers," then generates rivers by following the gradient downhill. The final step is then to fatten the rivers a bit.
>>143500896
I haven't! I'll check it out. I've been too busy to do much today.
Also guys plz rate my candle
>>143500927
Yeah I'll report back tomorow after i've tried it in VR.
>>143500786
>Do you not remember the /biz/ spamming?
I do, and I remember how hilariously it crashed and burned and how fast everyone turned on him when that thread was made. But I thought it was because he was scared of being samefagged on, not that he wanted some identifier for people.
Though it explains the very pointed namefag-based bullying, I guess. d* really did ruin everything.
>>143500971
But they kept coming. And while "why is source allowed wah wah" is just a meme here, 420chan seems to have ACTUALLY banned source users. I asked a question about how to do something in source once, and got banned on the spot.
Here's the new girl in the game
>>143494694
>>143494694
yes exactly like that, but then add another array modifier linked to another empty, this will add X cubes for each cube in your first array. You can do this as many times as you want but it gets pretty chaotic sometimes even with 2.
I've been using blender since I was something like 12. I made a game back in the days that I might post. It was pretty atmospheric. You were just a sphere but I was borrowing a lot of stuff from majora mask and OOT. My levels were pretty cool for a 12 year old I think. There was one that was in this huge open cavern and you explored for a bit but then you'd find an artifact that made everything crumble and reveal lava everywhere. I wish I could find it.
Anyway, my topology was still shit just a few months ago. This model is the best I've ever done and it's still in need of improvements but hey, baby steps. I've probably tried to make this a few dozen times, all shit topology.

>>143501383
> I asked a question about how to do something in source once, and got banned on the spot.
This is the single complaint I've seen about the 420/agdg/ moderation, and I suspect it came from you every time it's come up.
Moderation is very reasonable on 420chan and kirtaner is personally on /vg/ there a lot. I'm sure if it really happened (and you weren't just "WHY IS SOURCE ALLOWED HURR") you could get unbanned, though it was probably a short ban anyhow and you're just worried people will go somewhere that actually moderates.
>Just woke up

Restarting my game for the 17th time.
>>143501189
And I'm not saying IDs are bad. They really help the more 'wild west' boards. It definitely works for large communities, but in a small creative community like agdg where there's 100 regulars tops and everyone's putting their ego on the line, where critique can easily cause hurt feelings, having IDs completely destroys the point of anonymity.
I was just doing this to train but i'm so using this.

I started experimenting with graphics. I'm not very good at it at all so I'm just trying to draw over a screenshot of my game (with placeholder graphics) to see if I am capable of making graphics that don't remind people of gonorrhea or if I should just pay someone.

Damn, son. Looks nice. I might be showing my age, but I loved Wave Race 64 when I was a kid.
Wondering what the best avatar solution for VR is. Basing the head position on a node within the shape seems to cause warping problems when dealing with rotating the player object since the head position is typically off-center within the player models coordinate system.
e.g. if you rotate the player model to point it in whatever direction the player is looking, the head will be displaced by the rotation (depending how far it is from the center), and thats not even taking into account the positional tracking info from the vr system.
Only "foolproof" system I can think is just to make the player model or head node move to accomadate the players head being in a specific location, then use an ik solver to correct the legs and such. Either that or have no player model at all.
Anyone dealt with this shit?
>>143504367
Have an articulate neck?
>>143504367
>the head will be displaced by the rotation
so counter rotate the head when you rotate the body
>>143504367
>have no player model at all.
Best option until we get limb tracking. It's too jarring looking down and seeing your body in a different position.
>>143504367
>>143504482
>if you rotate the player model to point it in whatever direction the player is looking
Actually, yeah, this is dumb. Usually in VR you decouple the head orientation from the body orientation. Might as well make use of the extra 6DoF control.
>>143504101
Thanks!
The terrain in the level currently is more like a placeholder. I plan to get some terrain generator to make heightmaps and texture the terrain because handsculpting terrain doesnt look as realistic than proper heightmaps.

>>143505371
>can't someone just dox him and send him a severed dog head or something already?
Someone sent him a bomb, once.
>>143505371
since part of the shitposting seems to be blaming one name, I can't keep track of which, I feel like it's not just one person but a group, probably steamchat/irc faggotry.
How do you guys feel about the concept of getting points giving you advantages in the game? HP restores, unlockable parts of the stage, damage/combo bonuses, etc.
Does anyone have the latest version of Aseprite?
Currently running 1.1.4 and Aseprite not remembering the folder I want to save my work in is really annoying me more than it should. IIRC it's been fixed in the latest version (1.1.5+).
>>143505590
Depends on the context and execution, like anything else. The idea itself is sound, though. Look at Mario Bros, pretty successful and fun game.
>>143505590
One perspective is that it makes already-good play easier. There was a great post on the OpenMW forum somewhere about someone's idea for a skill system that rewarded failure, since that's how you learn. Like if you are a master lockpicker and pick an easy lock in one try, why should that teach you anything?
Debug tools yay.
Spider guys now move towards and away from the player depending on distance I dunno.
So yesterday/two days ago/whatever we were discussing the spider fella's projectiles.
Would you guys rather like a slow orb projectile thats easy to dodge but its slow speed makes it trouble in chaotic situations, or a laser that has full point-a-point-b connection after a blink and does low damage?
>>143505787
Good point, thanks!
>>143505787
My game is a hack n slash type deal, and I was thinking that if you score enough points through combos etc that the level would become larger/more difficult whilst giving you the rewards.
i.e. it's possible to complete level 1 without unlocking anything, but should you unlock certain areas the level is larger and more difficult/more enemies etc.
>>143505787

I don't really like it. I say, open up everything from the start, and let player skill handle any barriers that aren't plot-related.

>>143506279
very job. u did it
>>143504556
Yeah but I also have to move the head too, thus leading onto the "maybe I need some IK here" bit.
>>143504482
>>143504679
Yeah, looks like decoupling the head is a good start, at least for the cases where they dont do a 180.
Still need to factor in the player deliberately *moving* the head to a weird location though, such as inside the torso or something which is perfectly possible even if you are just doing seated tracking. In one case i've noticed a dev for a VR chat program just moved the player model down into the ground, though it just feels a little cheap.
>>143504615
In this case I need to take into account the possibility of there being a model unfortunately. :(

Hmm, both of those sound interesting and-- HAHAH those robots running into the wall seriously great. Totally forgot what I was going to say.
I don't know, what about both! A slow orb that moves through the air and they beam at the orb which discharges at you. Just idea-guying here. But more simply, I think from the looks here, a slow orb would be a little too easy to avoid.
I was bit by some mosquitoes the other day, and I realized that those things are from Hell.
>>143506906
I would say its a shader or script with vertex displacement (I have toyed around with such shaders, but I dont think I could make one on my own)
>>143507026
Here's some gameplay to make you better anon
So I have a sword with a trigger collider, can anyone suggest a decent way to disable the collider when not attacking but also during the first few frames of the attack? I was thinking about having the attack button wait for seconds, then activate for a set amount of time and deactivate again, but that seems unwieldy.

>>143507389
Ok nevermind then. He was applying it to pictures to make pictures jiggly.including a butt
>>143507214
that's not unreasonable. for each attack animation you define a start and end time for damage
think of it in a similar way to invulnerability frames during a dodge
>>143499271
I've never been sick in VR, whether Im using a brand new thousand Canadian dollar Rift or the ghetto machine I cobbled together with seventy bucks of parts from a hobby store and amazon. If you were to make a whole game like this I would play it as a test of personal fortitude.
>>143507838
This is actually interesting. My game is about, for one thing, old forgotten horrors. Might make those bosses either optional or hidden and have literally sickening elements like that shader to make people unable to stay "sane" and defeating them...

>>143508123
I've only ever played one game that caused me physical discomfort, not like seeing or hearing something that my mind found disturbing. It was the Da Vinci Code for PS2. When you died, the controller vibrated in a pattern that was for some reason absolutely awful. Might just be me, but that was the one part of the game that wasn't boring as hell. Actually put down the controller in confusion the first time it happened.
>>143508459
I'm using a simple "if" that only moves the vertex if its below a specified coordinate. Its stupid but it works
>>143507214
Use event animations, it lets you call a function when certain frames are reached with parameters. (Oddly enough, no booleans, but you can use an int)
So make the function like this:
ToggleSword(int val){
swordEnabled = (val == 1) ? true : false;
}
Sorry if I misunderstood the problem!
any good tutorials other then the essential roll-a-ball for unity?
>>143508613
Hmm. Have guns that pulsate and twist ingame while the controllers vibrate in odd organic patterns. Gotcha. You're a goldmine sir.
Guys. How do I stop being paralyzed by trying to conjure the best method of writing a Entity Component System engine in C++ with scripting in Lua and just make a goddamn platformer? I want to make a Metroidvania, but every time I end up trying to make an engine to do it.
Like. I still want C++ and Lua to make iterating quicker.
But where do I start?
Should I just do bullshit classes for each type of object/enemy and call it good?
It's honestly so frustrating to have not made any progress towards an actual game!
Any advice? Any kicks in the pants?

Is there a way to make a node, like in a data structure, in Unreal blueprints? I need something that can hold some data and a reference to something of the same type, so structs are out.

>>143508946
you're thinking too much
if you want to make a game, use an existing engine. if you want to make an engine, make an engine. but don't realistically expect you'll be doing both any time in the near future.
the best thing you can do is prototype your idea. you don't need to make the final game in your first attempt. make a tech demo, get some of the core mechanics in there, and test it out, gather interest/feedback, etc. THEN, knowing what you've learned, you can restart from the beginning and do it properly. by this point you'll understand how best to structure your classes because you've done it before and know what worked and what didn't work

This anon is probably right too. I spent like 3 months prototyping and building a roguelike but now that I'm coming back to it there's so many small mistakes that compounded into massive design challenges for later feature expansion, so I'm starting over with the knowledge I have now to do it properly.But you can make an engine and a game.

I keep telling myself that Ill switch to actual code when it becomes easier then fucking around with wires, but until now its all been trivial crap. Probably because its all 2D and screwing around with widgets is a lot easier using blueprints.

>professional 3d
that'd be a first
I initially used blender because it was free and had tutorials. I used its game engine for a while but unless you want to make terrible, terrible games, don't bother. You can kind of prototype in it but it's really not worth it. Just get unity for games.
If you want to git gud at blender I'd recommend first understand all the useful shortcuts. I don't know why everybody says the UI is terrible cause I've tried to work with maya and some other software and it seemed like a lot of bullshit coming from blender. I don't know any other 3d softwares.
Don't let my starting age fool you, I've only somewhat git gud recently.
Just follow a bunch of tutorials, use edge split and try to understand edgeflow and how to get nice loops. Also, Slide Edge, Remove Double, how to move/rotate/scale while locking in one or 2 axis...It's all pretty useful.
Then you can look into rigging and animating. I'm not expert but if you have questions feel free to ask.

unity it is then, but what about unreal engine? isn't it graphically/physics-simulation more realistic than unity? and i heard coding in unreal blueprints is easier than unity. what do you think?

I can't say a thing about unreal other than it looks good. I know the guy doing the Devil may cry-like game here uses blueprints and you might like that coming from blender's game engine but I personally felt a lot more freedom when I started programming properly. It's really easy to learn how to program and following along Unity's big project tutorials really gives you a good starting point imo. You can still look online to see if UE suits your needs more than unity.
All I can say is don't use BGE. It's not worth it.
Getting into all of this you might eventually hit a wall, big or small, but you're at a point where there's so much to learn that you can just move on to something else if it doesn't work. Start a bunch of little projects (after following tutorials for the basics and you feel confident that you can start exploring) that focus on one feature or uses a new feature you've learned in a cool way. If you look at my tumblr and scroll all the way down, you'll see quite a few projects, each with somewhat different playstyles and functions (although it's usually first/third person 3d environments, that's just my style I guess). Never throw anything away. I reuse assets all the time, be it scripts that you can modify or enhance or even models that you can tweak to fit into another setting. Don't lose hope and don't hesitate to ask me questions on tumblr, it's always a pleasure.

I quit after I tried to make the simplest idling game you can think of and it would lag tremendously. That was a year and a half ago but unless they did major changes, I don't see it becoming much better than unity. You have to basically make everything yourself. Unity has particle systems, a better lightning system, the whole component thing. I didn't really use python with it but I'm fairly confident that unity is just better atm.
>>143515348
with free artists you get your money's worth.
there are rare occasions that they are good, i think unity programmers in general are in higher demand
>>143515489
was not the case for me, i made an interactive game a year ago but dropped it, if i knew how to python i would solve issues that nodes couldn't handle but i chose a different path to devving since then

neetdev is right about the lag, blender games lag horribly, and python and bullet physics are to blame for that...
another problem is the shadows rendering in blender is horrible, and opengl in blender is really old... and you cant make a realistic FPS vision-movement in blender game engine, blur dont cut it... and some other stuff i dont remember

There's literally no version of communism that's better than a high school meme.

>>143516851
what if it's fixed at a reasonable price that gets the producers rich
like here in quebec, all milk is BASICALLY the same price to within about 30 cents, but that price is pretty fukken expensive considering it comes from literally down the street
>>143516961
tropico already proved that communism works if you have actual exports and surplus money based on a safe industry and have a good mix of resource collection and manufacturing in your country
also chinese communism "works" and the reason china is a shithole to live in as a peasant is because chinese culture is kinda garbage and they poop in the street and refuse to adopt modern medicine and shit
>>143516961
well theyre not even communist, theyre socialist (with price fixing) not even communism is meant to have price fixing.

how do these guys get so many little guys on screen? Is there a special trick? My necromancer game was lagging when every villager/skeleton had its own navmesh agent component that calculates a path every few seconds so I had to make villagers less intelligent, giving them basic flocking behaviors instead. That helped, but I'm wondering how I could push more units on screen while keeping the performance cost decent.

Isn't "true" communism just supposed to put capital production in the hands of workers?
wouldn't "true" communism be pretty much anarcho-capitalism, but with state oversight to keep corporations organized like co-ops instead of having an owner or owning board?

right, that doesnt involve any price fixing... there are even companies in america that have done this, giving every employee partial ownership, fair splits and fair says in production, that's all communism really is at it's core plus some dumb shit about government distribution/oversight which clearly doesnt work since even China couldn't maintain it.

After reading about the history of the CIA, it seems more like America is plagued by having too many competing organizations forming the government.
Like, here in Canada, we have Parliament and they in-fight a lot, but it's across clear party lines and over actual issues. In the states, it's more like the CIA, FBI, ATF, NSA, Congress, and a million little think tanks and lobbyist groups are all fighting for funding more than control.
Even in the military, which you'd think would act as one unified group, there's tons of fighting between the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. And the Marines only exist because of Army and Navy squabbling over ownership of forces and materiel.
