Visual Novels are games
Enginedev here, just made my first triangle. My MMORPG is going along just fine.
I genuinely believe these threads actively hinder progress because of people giving awful trolling feedback and being just general assholes to one another. If you post what you're working on, you will get shit on for it no matter how good it may or may not be.

Engine deving is explosive. Slow until you suddenly find yourself with a game.
How do I get draw GUI draw shit pixel perfectly in game maker? I have resolution of 256x240 and I upscale it to 2x which is 512 x 480 and I also allow player to resize the window. The problem is that I cant scale the draw GUI elements correctly along with the game, no matter the screen size, it just stays same size and causes "mixels". How do I scale drawn stuff in Draw GUI correctly?

You are wrong. After uni, when you will have a job, you will have free time.
Look at me. From 10-11 a.m. till 6-7 p.m. workday, after that gym 3 times a week, then from 9 p.m. till 1-2 a.m. gamedev, than smoke and play something for 1 hour if I have energy.
Also weekends. That's like 24 hours of work for two days.
>>144231320
Thats why I always start on something new after the previous three day battle has been won. Either Ill keep working until the new thing is complete, or it will defeat me.

I'm telling you right now, that if you're here to make money, just leave. Your not going to have any fun learning, making, playing, problem solving and everything else that comes with gamedev. This is a hobby. Make things you like, and what you want to play. It's all about doing what is fun for you right now, for just like they say: tomorrow will never come. it will always be right now. Be the person you want to become right now, or forever be in a chase for the unreachable, only pushed to another day by self illusions. Take a deep breath, and have fun right now. There is only this moment, forever.
>>144231587
The only thing I care about is making a game desu.
>>144231587
so when do you decide its time to make money?
>>144231587
:^) I already made a ton of money so you can fuck off nodev.
>>144230108
I don't know, mate. I love to post here, because people always notices the smallest issues in my progress, so the game can become better and better. Other than that, if you've been on this site for years, you can easily distinguish shit posts, feedback which is disguised as shit post, and actual feedback, so I don't get the fuss.
>>144230350
give up, more gamedev sluts for me then
>>144231587
No, fool, you have it backwards. If you dont have fun doing this, if you're not making something you like and want to play, then you're making a shitty game and you're never going to make any coin!
reposting for serious desperation.
alright so my inventory is buggered.
as you can see by the video, it seems to only grab this one seed and ignores everything else.
heres my code, http://pastebin.com/zbSFsxGT
if someone could look through that and find any problems that would be beauty.
also when it appears that I'm grabbing different seeds in the video, it's actually just me double clicking to switch the spot of the original seed.

What makes a spookier atmosphere, sprites or models?
>>144232780
Sorry. Im new to gamedev and 3d in general. Im just asking alot of questions so I can learn.
>>144234330
Half unrelated, but you know whats really spooky? Utter lack of anything in a normally filled world. Like the empty hills outside of Arma 2 maps, Assassins Creed cities when nobody spawns, or those parts of the Witcher 3 up to the north west, where there's just zero wildlife, enemies, geographical features. Its like your brain internally decides "Okay, this is the level of stuff that constitutes 'normal'" to maintain the suspension of disbelief, and when theres just nothing but basic terrain it thinks that there's something up which cannot be good.
Is anyone here using more than one engine at once?
I want to make a 2d game and I suck at c# but I'm worried I'll just never learn it if I take up gamemaker too.
>>144234330
I have never been scared by sprites.
>>144230350
>which i don't have since once i'm out of school it's game over for hobbies which require such insane time as game dev
I don't know why you are under the impression that going from 6-8 hours of lectures a day, doing several hours of work/study at home each day, and having to do schoolwork over weekends, and if you're like most people holding down a part time job on top of all that, eats up less time than just a normal 40 hour work week.
>>144232780
>>144234457
Did you read/watch something to know how to make that first person shooter knowledge? Like having the gun on the right, hud and the controller? Know any good resources?
>>144232712
Actually it doesn't. There's barely any noise.

Hey. I'm the anon who was making an RPG. Due to multiple complaints, and the fact that I don't want players to be able to give themselves all 18s without knowing deep down that they're dirty cheaters, I've implemented a point-buy system (for which the number of available points will be adjusted later to make it balanced).
Scrolling through the different attributes on the left also gives you a text box to the right which tells you what the selected attribute does.

>nodev whining
>>144234812
I took up gamemaker and I learned about arrays and calling scripts and general syntax and format. This made it so much easier to attempt learning C++ and C#. Before gamemaker I couldn't get passed Hello World on DarkBasic, C++, and HTML, probably because I couldn't relate it to anything with how abstract everything was. I would feel overwhelmed because I'd have to spend the next 10 years learning stuff I didn't care about just to make an engine for a game I wanted, it was depressing so I gave up many times until just recently after using Gamemaker.
>>144234064
He's probably not even wrong, but his argument is pants on head retarded.
>Unity making their licensing even more complicated while all their competitors are simplifying their licensing
Why are they so dumb?
>>144235382
I'm in a similar position. I've been able to implement some cool stuff in unity like dialog boxes and stuff, but even something as simple as making my character move around and animate is crazy difficult.
I feel like the last month in unity has equated to about as much progress as I had in the week I used gamemaker.
>>144235517
Unity is the only way to make a game.

Sorry you got ravioli's jewish dick up your butt but Unity's a piece of shit.

Actually if you made it an actual metroidvania it would be cool. There's really not a single game that replicated the mechanics of metroid/castlevania remotely well.

The funny thing is it's the exact same game as all the Sarah to the Rescue games.

No, you only need to pay $100 once. Then you can put as much shit on greenlight as you want.
It really should be $100 per game though, that would help cut down a lot of the people who upload tons of worthless shit.

This is fresh, state-of-the-art proprietary amateur game development technology, created by one of /agdg/'s very own Yesdevs. Didn't we just talk about how Indie game devs are always trying to throw each other under the bus yesterday already? I don't think I've seen any other industry that consistently shits on itself the moment anyone makes progress. It's ridiculous. Every other industry makes partnerships, pools resources, promotes competition, etc., but not indie game dev. We just shit each other and do everything to bring people down with us when we fail to be successful at our own game. If we can't make it, then no one can. Christ.

Man, I've been playing videogames since childhood. So I know that usually gun is on the right. Also I was 3d modelling since middle school. Made a tf2 hat in uni and tried to make nude mods for Left For dead.
So I had knowledge of 3d, and learned C# in uni. And with these skills I got my hands on unity.
Dealing with unity is another story. I am probably doing it wrong, but that's how I learn. I imagine in my head what I want to create and struggle till the end until I accomplish what I want. In process of struggle I learn how this and that part of engine works, I learn what tools are there best suited for my problems, I learn workarounds if I really hit the wall. Like right now I struggle with transparency shaders and fog post effect.

Do you mean you want vector art, or you just don't want it to look like a SNES game?
If the first, then you pretty much need to use Flash.
If the second, then Godot and Love, and even Unity and UE4 are all options.
>>144237716
this looks really promising
a unique game is all that you can strive for nowadays and this achieves that.
this has alot of potential
Depending on the type of attack used, regular enemies can be somewhat juggled in the air with attacks. Also the new hitbox system makes the Mimic's super jump attack work even better so that's a plus.

shooting is hacked directly into the player object; my next step is defining a coherent weapon class
these are literally the first complete 3d models i've ever made, if i can't get an artist to help me out i'm fucked
otherwise i'm pretty pleased with how quickly this is coming together compared to the last few things i've done. the only "big" thing left to do is get a pseudo-scripting system in place (when player is at X point on rail, run Y function) and i'll basically have all the things i need to start putting together real levels

when are you adding the sprites and animations? it will look really nice then
Hey guy with the cave-spelunking knight game if you're here
What were you using for making sprites during the last stream?
I'm kind of tired of using paint and it takes forever to make anything look good and match the rest of the animation
>>144238520
That looks really good! Great job luvviedev.
It may not look like much, but getting the floor builder (now structure builder) to successfully create a second floor was a task and a half, and getting collision working for everything was too. Also I made a new (but still placeholder!) player character graphic.
The time and effort taken was largely from two things. For the floor builder, I apparently now suck at math and math-related reasoning and maybe even reading my own comments. For the collision, it's because I'm doing all my own collision. I almost gave up and used bump.lua, but I was able to get through without it.
I can post some funny footage of what it looked like while I was fixing it if anyone wants to see it.
>>144238520
Looks fantastic.
if cBNS >=20{
BNS+=1;
cBNS=0;}
There isn't anything logically wrong with this correct? cBNS for sure is incrementing because for debugging purposes I am specifically drawing out it's counter. I can understand if somewhere I have code eternally resetting BNS to its default no problem, but even though cBNS is actually going up it is not at the very least resetting itself to 0 when it hits and exceeds 20. GM:S btw, this is in Step Event of a persistent control object that is in the room.fuck off I don't want to talk about braces

Occassionally devs, like me, stream while they work on their games. You can go watch the game making live. For instance, I'm about to start drawing one of the character classes for Verge at the moment and I've been streaming since >>144233810

i'm taking as much inspiration from classic horizontal stgs (darius, gradius, r-type and especially r-type delta) as i am starfox. the latter is definitely the main touchsone but i really don't want to fall into a trap of "starfox did/didn't do this, i must/can't do this"
The way you pick your loadout for each level will involve you physically(since its in VR) putting that weapon in a slot (the blue orb by the mannequin).
Then when you are fighting and want to get the weapon, you pick it from the location you put it on the mannequin: Lets say you put your revolver at your right hip, if you reach there and do a "grab" action you equip it.
Opinions?
>>144239725
Admittedly, I originally wanted to make a porn game, but I am too weak willed to control my masturbation habits so I canned it. It was a good experience learning how some of the code works though, so it wasn't a total waste.

agdg is full of underage kids who can't get anything done without having it as homework, but aren't clever enough to make their own assignments or brave enough to just announce a jam and get interest immediately from a small group to start work
so we end up with shit like Zelda Jam and Waifu Jam and constant shitty polls about it
>>144240808
i think i get everything but im still hazy on what exactly a "jam" is
>sorry for newfagging
>>144191254
>>>/trash/3146868
Why are these threads so much nicer than /agdg/? What's their secret?
>>144240808
I think its more that the people with games who have authority and presence in the community aren't willing to make a jam game as it will detract from the there time working on the main game and then we get nodevs making jams and people scrambling to make something.
>>144240927
>apologizes for being a newfag.TOP KEK
>>144240927
Who are you quoting?
>>144240927
You make a game in a short time span based around a specific theme.

Holy shit, did they change it?

>which one will look better with your style and skills
Dunno yet.
I really like making character designs though, so probably right from the standpoint of not relying on more topdown-esque views.
Although at the same time I worry about potential wall traps on the backfacing walls. My autism will be bothered.
>>144240927
the original non 4chan definition and intention of a game jam is to get a bunch of game devs together to work on a game in either a harshly limited amount of time, and/or subscribing to set of creative constraints of some kind, usually involving gameplay mechanics or a critical theme of the game. it's also a social thing, since it typically brings devs together to collaborate, compete, or sometimes even work in the same physical space. (I know of one game jam where you pay a couple hundred bucks for a ticket, and then go on a week or so long yacht cruise. the idea is that over the course of the cruise, you have a game as good as your tan, but it's not enforced)
here in agdg though, they give a month before announcing the start of the thing, another month to actually do it, and the themes are usually wishy-washy bullshit that can be slapped over anything like "waifus" or "zelda" or "halloween"
How's it coming along guys?
>>144240985
not having you or danny
>>144241018
>authority and presence
>/agdg/
lol
but yes, i get your point and agree
>>144241271
This so much.
And the Jams are so common that you get no time between them and demo day to actually work on your game.
Assuming I can draw a little, which is going to be easier for me to get into, spriting or 3d modelling?
The answer determines my engine desu.
Got bored. Made a thing.
>>144240808
>Zelda Jam
Why was Zelda jam even a failure? Making a Zelda game is dead easy, so making a demo of such game should also be dead easy, yet we only got one game which was playable out of all if I remember correctly.
Can agdg even do something right?
>>144241571

RPGMaker general does feel nice and everyone in there is very friendly, but it's slow as fuck, and people in there are forced to bump it every now and then. I sometimes go over there to ask questions related to tilesets and such rather than agdg but other than that I sadly don't have much in common with them.
>tfw I wish I was a rpgmaker dev

>>144238561
I'm actively developing since early spring. But I started making first steps a year ago. Been deving 1-2 days a week, then a big brake for summer, then I returned in September with the same frequency. And since early spring, after creating terrain generation algorithm I make game every day.
>>144238064
Thanks, but experienced game designers from our local gamedev community say that world generation is cool, but gameplay is simple action/shooter which is not much and game won't sell. So we think about android and VR.
>>144240140
A system like that was one of the first things I had in mind when I heard about Vive. I think this has potential. I always thought about it like this: Resident Evil 4 made managing inventory more difficult in theory, but in practice it turned out to be a nice feature. Ithink such system can do the same.
reposting my WIP Trump wall building game.
The view behind pic related is green grass and tall Trump towers to protect.
>>144241643
Which one? Link anon.
>>144241830
What about the death ball game
>>144241571
1. agdg is incompetent
2. zelda is too vague a theme (not all zelda games are the same or share the same thematic elements or aesthetic)
3. it was pandering /v/ trash just because Le Anniversary of Link :^)
>>144241760
I think it's slow due to genuine lack of posters and projects. People talk shit about aggy dag being a chatroom, but we do genuinely have enough people to support the post rate. We have 61 posters as of this post, to their 25.
>>144241814
Yeah, i made a system like this when i made the proof of concept of this game. The fact that you reach behind your head to grab for example a shotgun feels amazing. Same with quickly grabbing your revolvers from your holster lone-gunman style.
>>144241571
they should have announced it at least one month in advance
>>144241814
RE2, 3 and CV did it first with multiple-tile items
>>144241830
I like the Mexican
How does the gameplay work?
>>144242075
nice assets
>>144241137
i see. thank you

the anon who used the word jam
>>144241067
lol
>>144241271
dam this is all interesting to me. do you guys skype while you do it? pull all knighters? ive seen videos of that sorta thing in real life at these game dev summit things
>>144242137
isn't a top-down zelda ripoff literally a gamemaker tutorial
>>144242281
game jams don't have a canon physical arrangement. most commonly, it's online, the work ethic is up to each participant, and the only major thing is a time limit where all the games have to be in by.

>>144241892
fuck me I wrote a long post but hit back on my mouse and lost it all
basically there's little left to do already and I don't want to make this a big project like my other games. This is over in a few days
>>144242252
see webm
>>144240170
I dont think showing the results before its due is a good idea. Makes some people not want to vote if it they see one result is already in the lead
how many copies of a game do typical indie developers sell?
>>144242359
Not everyone uses game maker and not everyone wants to make clones. Ideas take time.

>>144242408
>>144242650
I fucking hate normie memes
>>144242595
Varies greatly but I think the sheer amount of shit on steam has put that average at around 1000 copies.
>>144242595
See for yourself. You too can be successful, if you just keep your head held high. Hey, maybe you'll even be able to afford a copy of a real game!
>>144242617
it's LITERALLY "Zelda Jam" the POINT was to MAKE CLONES

No it doesn't. You have to manually check the results.
This guy is just parading them around in advance.
>>144243006
>Then you have your answer
I already said zelda jam was a failure because agdg is incompetent
>>144243069
OH so your'e THAT dev. Didn't realise it until now.
does anyone here even have a cohesive vision for what they're making
>>144243169
sorry, that fedora didn't suit artstyle of the game
Anyone here using Godot? How does it compare to GM:S in terms of making a simplistic 2D game?

>>144243205
More like because we don't like making clones. Look at all the games here and you will see that barely any are straight up clones. Even if you look at Zelda jam submissions, most aren't clones.

Hey guys, here's my game
Do you think I'll ever make anything off of it?
I was thinking of putting it on steam eventually
I'm having a problem in GML where a collisions rectangle is picking up something unintended, but I can't tell what it is. Trying to show the name returns <undefined>. But I do have the real id of whatever it is. How can I determine my problem?
>>144243528
>More like because we don't like making clones.
literally every game out of here is a clone of something. you're a liar and a fraud. and even then, the jam was literally called "Zelda Jam".
>>144243718
Why not just post a different image?
>>144244046
Not with those graphcis
>>144244046
sell it as an ironic meme game and you'll get guaranteed monies.
>>144244046
>the only reason to make games is to make money
I think this is the reason /agdg/ is so toxic. If you guys made games just because it's fun to, you'd probably be a lot happier and less prone to shitposting.
>>144238893
Don't know why it worked but I moved the code snippet from control object step event and dropped it into the player object step event and added control.* to the beginning of the cBNS and BNS references (they are native variables of the control object) and now everything is fine... so fucking I dunno. Whatever GM:S, I both love and hate you at the same time.final for anyone interested:
if control.cBNS >=20{
control.BNS+=1;
control.cBNS=0;}
>>144243404
Never used Godot but looks like an open source Game Maker, makes 2d and 3d games , unique Scripting language . Im pretty sure they are about the same on features.
>>144235672
>One button rhythym game
>>144241208
Yep.
They added a new get-some-services tier and pushed the no-fucking-splash-screen tier up to $125.
