No it had some gimmicky "us programmers" name.
You had a usb "hacker" and had to jack in to certain things and modify the "code" to proceed.
>>146409797
Looking good!
>>146410113
This is likely because I fire the projectile straight from the player's center, not the actual gun position. I might fix this in the future, but it's not a big concern of mine.
>>146410265

It's some shitty game about switching between white and black space, or space and anti space/matter/whatever.

no idea that existed, i'll check if i can rip off that for some levels

it's just placeholdersthat are probably going to be in the final game anyway.I wanted to use toon shading but holes become literally invisible, so i'll probably just keep it for objects.

It's not.
Most games like that are boring once you reach end-game once. Granted his classes were a nice bonus. But I stand by my original statement.
>>146411496
I think that was honestly the game's main strength. That, and the time-based difficulty. It's a constant arms race: you try to stack power and upgrades faster than the world around you does. That's addictive. And there's immense satisfaction to be found when you finally achieve "unstoppable death machine" status on a victorious run.
>>146412318
>Most games like that are boring once you reach end-game once
>saying that of a game praised by it's replayabilty
>>146412485
I guess I'm biased because once I see the repetition/programming limits start to creep in PG/RG games I instantly get bored.
Head hurts,
Exam tomorrow
And all I can think of is game dev.
>>146412318
To be fair, most roguelikes lose a heavy amount of their charm after you finally beat them once.
Thankfully they usually last a good 20-50 hours, and remain exciting during that time.

It's kinda like tactics RPG but instead of 8 units you control 24. And possibly there's overworld map gameplay.
>>146412593
>I instantly get bored
that sounds like brain problems, rather than game problems
>>146413602
Strategy RPG or Tactics RPG is the term for traditionally japanese turn based strategy games involving persistent characters that level up.
It can mesh with Turn Based Tactics games in the west.

Well then all tactics games are "tactical simulations".
>>146414341
There is no real random in computers.

>>146414479
Oh so I don't iterate over all coordinates but rather pick them at random?
>>146414427
kill yourself.
My game has no story. How do I make the player want to continue playing?
Even in games like Receiver or Teleglitch, where the story is mostly an afterthought, there's a goal: there's something you're trying to accomplish. My game is just, kill the enemies, reach the end of the level, beat the boss, etc. There's not really any goal the player can work towards.
>>146414053
>>146414260
Tactical RPGs are only called simulation RPGs in Japan because they're retards who don't know what English words like Simulation mean.
Immersive Sims have "sim" in there for a reason. There is nothing "sim" about Langrisser, Ogre Battle or Final Fantasy Tactics.
>>146414602
you mad :D
>>146414635
add a story
>>146414341
it does though????
>>146414635
>just, kill the enemies, reach the end of the level, beat the boss, etc.
If it worked for entire console gens it can work now. It even still works for mario.
Make the gameplay fun and you're fine.
>>146414653
they're simulating a war, m8
but that's a problem in and of itself, because war i a combination of strategy and tactics.
in a game like FFT you can't retreat or send decoy forces, or manage any supply lines, or control war economy resources. it's got no strategy at all (and that's okay)
>>146414598
Well, you pick a random starting point and use the noise continuously around it. You can also use random numbers to choose amplitude, scale, differently across all the octaves, permute how the noise is combined, etc.

>>146414635

Come up with a mario-tier "Story" then and base it around that.

There isn't anything intrinsically wrong with for loops but in my experience I've found people who rely on them tend to use a brute force method for their algorithms. Recursion usually indicates more experience and faster code overall.
will people pay 4.99 for an innovative clicker?
>>146420607
I agree. Recursion still isn't intrinsically faster.
>>146420607
lot more stack overflows too
>>146420762
Stack overflows are a result of incorrect code, not recursion.
Typically, the same problem would manifest with iteration as just a massive memory leak.

what game nigga
Any good examples of a 2D RPG in 16:9?
Most everything old is in like 4:3 but I'm making my one for 16:9 but it looks kinda weird. Like the dialogue box seems to take up way too much of the screen.
>>146422407
post a picture
What went wrong?
>>146422407
You don't have to make the dialogue box fill the whole width of the screen. You can make it so the dialogue box is 4:3 with the height of the window.
Idle pose.
>>146422538
You posting here.
>>146422538
What went wrong is you posting just 2 days after release.
Give it some time.
More boss work.
Close-range shot attack is more or less functional, though I want the "dropped" Grunt grenades to spawn touhou projectiles since it's unlikely they'll actually hit you.
Maybe I'll just drop touhou traps instead. IDK. Point is, the animation is there.
Also, Big Jim can now walk across the arena, and turn around at the other end. Which is nice, makes him feel more dynamic.
Still to come: a stomp attack I've animated for "medium range" melee, which spawns huge radial waves when Jim is in the center of the arena and the player is hiding at the edges.
I'd have stayed busier, but I'm just rewatching Nier Automata footage over and over again.

>>146422894
FOY
I'm using unity,
I'm writing c# scripts,
I have two scripts:
1st script is named "charTemplate"
2nd script is named "playerManager"
In my first script I have declared a number of
public float variable = initialized to a value;
In my second script I have declared some
public float playerVariable = initialized to zero;
public float playerVariableStatBuff = 5f;
I am trying to figure out how to get the value of
'variable' from the first script in order to do something like
playerVariable = charTemplate.variable + playerVariableStatBuff;
Do I need both of these scripts actually
attached to objects in the scene? Or can I even
access variables like this?
If I can't figure it out in a few days, I suppose
I'll just hard code everything to keep progress
but I'd like to get an understanding of how to
get scripts to talk to each other.

Attach both scripts to a singleton object in the scene, named gameManger or whatever.
To access one script from the other, use
gameObject.GetComponent<charTemplate>.variable = whatever;
>>146423187
that's true.
But you can shitpost nosales next week.
>>146423279
Post music
>>146423228
but you have the HD Re-Smudged Edition :)
>>146423025
There are a lot of ways you can do this.
If the two scripts are on different gameobjects, you can make a variable in the second script with the declaration public FIrstScriptName firstScript, and then in Unity's inspector, drag the gameobject containing the first script onto the second script's firstScript field, then call firstScript.variable to use that variable.
You can do what >>146423025 said and have them be on the exact same gameobject, though based on the variable names you've given I don't think that'll work out.
You can use Unity's Tag system and tag the gameobject of the first script, then use Gameobject.FindWithTag in the second script to find that gameobject and access the first script.
There's maybe a few more. The best solution mostly depends on how you're structuring these gameobjects/scripts.

Okay, so the script is only accesible as a
component of an object. Thank you.
And the >in Unity's inspector, drag the
gameobject containing the first script onto the
second script's firstScript field, then call
firstScript.variable to use that variable is what
I was missing completely, I'll try some
of that stuff you said about tagging different
objects too, because that sounds useful for
what I was trying to do. Thanks again to you
both.

And as an addendum, in response to
>Do I need both of these scripts actually attached to objects in the scene?
It depends on if these things you're talking about are Unity scripts (class derives from MonoBehavior), or just normal C# classes. For the former, they need to be attached to gameobjects, and it sounds like you want the former.

Why is this so much harder than I thought?

Whew lad slow down, didn't he mention it would take him a couple of days to get started again after he came back?

Been experimenting with some normalmap lighting... Here are the results.
got through the retopo, couple errors i'll have to live with
1-4 -> Set survival horror in modern times
5-9 -> Set survival horror in victorian times
0 -> Set it in the future

>Implying the skulls don't represent how the game itself is dead
Are angels really corrupted if their "god" is corrupted, cause wasn't that a part of his story?

Everything.
http://hastebin.com/kanavujuju.java doesn't seem to lend itself well to the design I've been using for my engine and when I tried implementing a version of it it just..didn't do what I wanted at all.
So I tried to make something up where instead I treat dialogue like an other component, just a struct of data (Text, Choice options, script to run). My dialogue system increments the text being shown, my draw system draws text to the screen based on the dialogue component. I'm using csscript to script: https://csscriptsource.codeplex.com
When a dialogue opens, I actually load a new state, and draw the previous state, and have the current state only have dialogue system updates. This essentially pauses the entire game whenever dialogue opens.
It's working out a little better, but I'm not sure if I'm going to run into limitations down the line.
