Man, I've never seen aggy come together like this. And all it took was some truly bad art.
>>146751852
all me
>>146751636
Small games can get away with noart but I have no idea what kind of small game I should make to get back into dewing.
I'm just giving up on my big projects since I'm not going down the artist road anyway. I just want to make game but feel like I need a little push.
Anyone have any million dollar ideas for me today?
>>146751852
I get it, it was bad art. All I wanted was some feedback on how to make it better.
>>146749487
And here we go. It kinda works within the constraints of my not very good knockback system.

A suicide simulator.
You play a gamedev that have given up on life and have to kill yourself. The levels are increasing in poverty and decreasing in mental health so it becomes increasingly harder to kill yourself, the final boss is at suicide watch in a closed psychiatric ward.
>>146752124
is this my life
>>146751942
Try to create a puzzle game with simple squares then. It worked for me at least, but now I have realized that sooner or later I will need some art anyway, so now I'm nodeving to learn the basics of drawing. I hope I can get back into business soon.
>>146752178
It's the future you chose.
Once you get over the desperation phase you'll feel at ease with death though. It'll be like a new and better form of sleep and you feel more tired every day.

Is game maker locked at 30 fps?
There are people in this very thread that don't make the link between:
lack of exercise and poor diet
and
their current health/mood
>>146752809
Lack of exercise gets me in a good mood
tfw some studio took your idea and made something way better than you could ever create

Wow dysfunctional meme plucked right out of high school.
>>146752975
KEKED
>>146752989
Huh?
>>146752809
I don't see how a good diet and some exercise would solve my problems in life, but I have to admit, when I have the chance to sleep more than 6-7 hours, I feel amazing and have a good outlook on life.
Should I follow my dream and create a 2d browser MMO or realize I'd never finish it or get any players
>>146753059
Good physical health makes for good mental health. Even in extreme cases it, at lest helps a little.
Naturally getting good sleep is part of that.
>>146752809
Yeah, when I get into an awful depression mood the amount of exercise I do and the quality of the food I eat both plummet.
Then as I feel better again I return to exercising and having a decent diet.
Should I get someone to forcefully help me exercise and eat healthy when I'm depressed?
>>146753129
Depends.
First, if I were you I would:
1) Make a game
2) Then make a massive single player 2D RPG
3) Then make an online multiplayer game
After that you can probably see if you're "ready" for a MMO or not.
>>146752049
A survival game with crafting elements
>>146753129
Agree with >>146753402 , you'll need a following to get your game started
>A game where you play as a wealthy and influential person in a fantasy Napoleonic setting where you can expand your influence by economic or military means in order to fugg princesses and become an emperor, or just be a pirate, or serve an existing state, with your success measured in your reputation throughout the world, your money, fame, ornumber of anime girl concubines
Would you play it?
>>146753760
>weeb shit
nope
>>146753760
>gameplay description %: zero
>>146753760
Nice setting, where's your gameplay?
>>146753760
Nice Mount and Blade clone
>>146754015
>World map divided into regions or cities (some combination, whatever), either like GS like V2/EU4/CK2 or Mount n Blade respectively
>You are represented as a character who can travel by land via carriage convoy with a retinue or by sea via flotilla with a crew, like M&B
>Trading is performed by you or an NPC delegate in command of a convoy/flotilla buying and selling things at cities along trade routes
>Production is done by businesses you buy, i.e. you have 1 brewery in fantasy-Dublin that can make 3 tons of not-Guiness assuming it has the necessary inputs
>Combat is autoresolved when you aren't there based on dicerolls and NPC skills, maybe when you're present combat is actually played out RTS-like with your units
>performing economics or combat in the name of a nation makes you rise in rank
>as you ascend into the upper stratum of society you get the ability to fugg princesses
>system of region ownership would allow for player ownership/governership of regions
>i.e., you could be granted ownership of lands for your services to a state, or you could mutiny or capture lands yourself and set up a personal state
I suppose all this calls for:
>world map (self explanatory)
>battle mode (if implemented)
>town mode (where you can meet hot bitches, maybe like duel people, visit the inn who fucking knows m8)
I know all these elements work in games to some extent - obviously M&B but also Sid Meier's Pirates (childhood memory) and Port Royal/Patrician III, to a lesser extent GS games - but I wonder if it would be too much of a clusterfuck to be enjoyable
>>146754781
I know it sounds very cloney, but I enjoy big scope games with combat, economics, and societal elements
Not many exist, sadly, and the ones that do often are sub-satisfactory in one field or more.
Actually I had idly thought about making a princess fucking simulator with randomly generated princesses that would be much simpler

I-I guess I just kind of long for the simplicity of gifcam even though it's kinda shit.

If there's any XNA guys here, there's one thing I'm confused about with shaders
I know how to do all the proper operations and everything, but does using a custom shader completely disregard all the parameters to the draw call? That's what it seems to be doing for me. Is this the case or have I screwed up somewhere?

kek
>>146751852
>>146759997
>>146759239
Maybe don't make it "turn based with a gimmick". Undertale's gameplay is 100% dodging the enemy attack, the rpg part is just "attack till you win, heal if low", with attacking being either the atk button or the do funny action XD button.
You can add rpg mechanics with a certain degree of depth to literally anything.
If you want to make an interesting turn based rpg don't try to add a gimmick (ie. qtes) but work on the rpg mechanics. ie. Pokemon is a classic because there are hundreds of classes and the method to aquire a class is interesting.
>>146759239
You don't need minigames to make your turn based combat fun. Look at the way roguelikes do it: Brogue has excellent, simple combat around risk taking; FTL (which is almost turn based) involves redirecting energy to the abilities you think you'll need most.
Good combat is a mechanic in itself.

I just use WebMCam, set the size of the area to record and it grabs that area as video, converts it to weebums for you. Grab from github for free, senpai.
>>146759239
How about a system where you use underhanded tricks to win? Like by attacking objects around the battle field will make them do something.
Pictue this: An opponent who keeps blocking your attacks. There's a water pipe to the side of you opponent that if you attack breaks the pipe and sprays him with water leaving him open to attack.
Then you just gotta get creative with stuff. Maybe the character has a way to set up things to do things at certain times or you have to do a bunch of things to trigger a chain of events.
I'm just trying to make a weeb porn game so it won't work for that plus I can't code for shit. I just wanna draw weeb porn and have it be interactive.
This is some of my stuff.
>>146760952
Making every battle a puzzle would mean hand-crafting them, and eventually the player would run out of unique battles. Presumably, in a RPG with random encounters, that won't do.
Someone give me a simple game to make a space version of for Space Jam.
>>146761131
Yeah I figured that but he wants a Undertale like game and the battles in that felt the same way.
Plus this is another reason I'm throwing this idea away. I don't wanna be thinking up all those battles.

Fair enough. I was planning on more focusing on RPG battle, but with a kind of Kirby/Megaman movement for dodging during the enemy turn. I'll polish my idea a bit more. As a sidenote for another mechanic I might be working on, what would be a good way to do a sort of "combat but not killing" system, wherein you fight enemies in order to purge [insert fantasy virus here] from their system? I want to do something interesting, but the only real comparisons I can make fall towards Pokemon's "weaken then capture" system or something that would make being a "good" guy be another lame Undertale knockoff and remove the combat portion of the game.

>what would be a good way to do a sort of "combat but not killing" system, wherein you fight enemies in order to purge [insert fantasy virus here] from their system?
So you want a battle system that involves traditional fight, followed by a way to "cure" the enemies without weakening them ala Pokemon and without sparing them through a sequence of actions ala Undertale
Well, what if your characters have a way to cure the virus, but it just takes a while to charge? That way, battles are about surviving enemy attacks, not defeating them. Instead of dealing damage, skills would involve speeding up the charge process (risky) and defense/healing or paralyzing the enemy.
what's the best way to learn gamemaker? I'm cloning some simple games (pong, breakout etc) with the drag n drop features but they feel clunkly and I think I need to learn GML if I want to get anywhere.
How did you guys learn?Anybody here know a good resource / is willing to tutor help me out?
>>146764406
You could take an actual class on beginner programming. GML is extremely easy to use as far as programming languages go. If you have any real programming knowledge using GML is largely just a matter of learning the specific function names and such.
>>146757445
Is this going to be a puzzle game? A shooter centered around a realistic low-wattage laser rifle would be incredible.
>Practically infinite energy, but can only fire for a few seconds before needing to cool down
>Can't kill enemies with it, but anybody who takes a direct hit from the front is instantly permablind, causing them to shoot randomly for a few seconds before giving up on existence
>Diffuse reflections off of "Wall" blocks causes "ocular health" damage that accumulates and doesn't heal
>Can wear CCD goggles that survive one direct hit before you have to take them off-- or you can crouch in total darkness and risk being shot with a real gun
>Can burn enemies in the back or flash a "pilot light" to force them to face you

>>146766226
If your future depends on this then don't, go find some stable income and then do this.
Unless you have previously released a couple of games this is an extremely new and risky venture for you and you have 99.9% chances of failing.
Sorry dude, but taking a stab at a market in which you have absolutely no experience and hoping to make money in your first attempt is just as safe as buying lottery tickets with your savings.
>>146766262
>>146766226
>>146766387
Like, think Flappy Bird. That shit was the most basic god damn horse shit this side of the Universe, but it caught on.
Shit, look at Peggle. Really simple, single-action game that doesn't require much from the user except aim-and-tapping.
Or you can go with quick puzzles like Tetris, Bejeweled. A simple thing like placing a block, or lining up shapes, into a repetitive action with increasing difficulty.
Already there's a pattern for their success: Simple and Repetitive.
From that, you have to think of something completely retarded that people might want to do to get better at. Like what you do when you're bored: chuck shit at a trash basket, skip rocks, etc.
So an idea could be as simple as, say, using the phone as a flat surface, and the goal is to keep the ball from falling from the middle of the screen. Add in bullshit weather effects like wind, or different surface frictions.
>>146766517
And like this anon says, there's no easy cash way with this shit. You might get extremely lucky, but you're better off looking for a shitty McDonalds job to pay bills while you work on your game on your off-time.

That's some juicy ass style right there.
Couple of questions:
- How long have you been devving this for?
I remember some of your stuff from some time ago but I'd like to know how long and how much time you've put every work day.
- Are you 1MAing?
- Do you have a full time job?
- Do you show your friends and relatives your progress or do you just post it online?
Thanks anon, I love your work.
>>146767350

not 1MA, did 1MA the first demo after working on it for 6 months, but got frustrated cos i cant code for shit. Then i got a coder from right here on aggydag and we're rocking it.
yea i have a full time job, and 2 kids.

So there are hope for wageslaves after all. That's quite motivating!
>>146762810
Some ideas from games:
A 'will' or something similar stat. You need to reduce it to 0 before capturing, but capture is still not 100% sure and skills that deal will damage don't deal much hp damage, the value is only visible due to the monster's visuals. (Demon Master Christ)
Overkill damage. You simply need to finish them off with at least X damage over their hp leftover. (Eternal Poison).
Literal capture. You try to subdue them, but due to paying attention not to kill them, your stats are lowered for the exchange. (Thracia 776)

anon's, tell me how should I generate a bunch of star coordinates randomly weighed towards the brighter areas of pic related.

>append pixel's coordinates to density_array and append it times brightness value
>do this for each pixel
>now pick any number random pixels from density_array and they should resemble the image
however the list is way too big(4GB of RAM). So now I need alternative solution.

I just wanted to inform people that OBS does NVENC.
Whatever AMD uses to record (through raptr, god they're such slags) isn't supported though.
I'd say OBS makes more sense because you can set your resolution.

This plan can NOT fail
Is there a way to set the BP defaults via the BP constructor in UE4? E.g. I have a gun that has a rate of fire (rounds per minute), which the player sets in the BP defaults. This rate of fire is used to set the seconds per round which is the delay between the bullets being fired.
Thing is, I set the seconds per round to visible and readonly in BP (it's a C++ variable), and I'm setting it to 1-(RoF/60) in a C++ function called from the BP constructor, however in the defaults tab, while it is correctly greyed out (read-only), it stays at 0.0.
It works in game and the value is correct, but I'd like to be able to see it in the BP defaults when I set the RoF variable.

Added item splitting GUI & mechanism to the game today, boring but had to be done! I coded my own GUI editor into my engine which makes things very easy

I haven't done anything gamedev related in 370 days, or at least that's the amount of time that passed since the last progress post on my bumblr devblag
I have a hard final in 2 days and not even that manages to drive me to do productive stuff completely unrelated to studying for the final. It always worked before
I'm quite obviously not suited to have a demanding, creative hobby, yet I constantly feel bad about not commiting to anything of the sort now that I got a taste of it, even though it was months ago and I never achieved anything
How do I escape this hell

I really don't know what's up with your game, but your work is very inspiring for me for some reason. Keep it up! Although it would be good to see you post more.

Guys, im not releasing a game, but im not abandoning it either. Im stopping devving in the prototype stage.
I mean, it has a failure state, and a victory state, so it's a game right?

I can make out the head and legs (kinda), but otherwise I'm really struggling. Her silhouette doesn't read at all, and I think that's part of where I'm having problems.
I want to make an online game, but I don't know much about how the internet works. Can someone point me in the direction of a good netcoding tutorial?

What kind of hit detection do most hack and slash games use? I tried to implement my own but it's kind of weird and sometimes not fully working as intended.
Are you supposed to spawn a hitbox when you attack and then check if the enemy's inside? Cause I didn't do that.
>>146781306
I'll try to make it more readable later. It looks better when you blur it a bit though.
>>146771335
Don't put StartCoroutine in the Coroutine itself, that's not how you use Coroutines
Call StartCoroutine in Start(), pegged to an input (in Update), or make a new function outside of Update calling StartCoroutine via the Unity inspector (like a button, animation event, etc.).
Use StopCoroutine to cease it. It'll keep going until you stop it.

>>146781823
Let's say it in another way: it has the potential of fun. With the timer for the alarms, the cameras, the soldiers walking up and down. I think it could have been a pretty interesting stealth game. May I ask what made you lose interest?Also, I'm that kind of guy who just loves amateur games almost with a passion, and I enjoy walking around in other's imaginary world.

>>146780442
Thanks anon. It's supposed to be a run of the mill action platformer, but I don't have any enemies or other hazards yet so there's not much to do right now.
I'll try to post more progress while implementing things in the future.
>>146782128
I like them. What kidn of game are you making?
>>146778050
that lens flare is so 2002
>>146781564
I'm sorry, but it's actually even more unreadable now. You need to define her arms away from the body at that small of a size. Right now I honestly can't tell what's supposed to be going on with her body from the neck down. Her leg shapes are cluttered and thick in the wrong spots. Do you have a 100% size version, or maybe a large size character design as well? I'd like to take a crack at improving its readability, if I could.
>>146782128
They look good, but I'm no expert. Can you tell us a bit about the game itself?Excuse me, but I have to ask this: are you monster girl dev, who posted the naga sprite with a vagina?
>>146782104
I'm making my own engine in SDL. SDL's networking features don't support IPv6, so it's pretty much worthless. I also looked at SFML but it doesn't support IPv6 either.
>>146781851
I mean in terms of readabilty

I made a theme music for the game i'm making. What do you guys think?
>>146782385
PROGRESS
I'm working on an animated title screen, so people can see moving cubes on the first seconds of the game (and the trailer).
>inb4 make them spell AGDG
Yeah, I will make an animation 4u. I already programmed the letters (A, G and D) and it was the hardest part.
>>146782278
not yet, when I make one this week i'll post it here

Started working on world 4.
Still need to fix some bugs with the homing torpedoes, but they are pretty much functional.
>>146782581
Looks cute. I love it!Will you add alternate skins for the little cube dude?
>>146782128
Left is a qt but her legs are huge.
Slime is as common as it gets.
Can't care about the other two.
>>146782529
>They look good, but I'm no expert. Can you tell us a bit about the game itself?
it's going to be a brothel management sim. think recettear or tycoon games with monster girls.
>>146782581
just remove the cube face, he looks out of place there
>>146782581
Pic related is the code to generate one letter (the letter "C"). The vertical towers are just the "run forward" first part of the animation. Below each tower is the generation of each small cube (9 nanomachines for the letter "C").
The lower right disconnected part is just a previous part I forget to delete.
>>146782562
Not bad, anon. Could use some work near the end, though. Too many instruments tend to feel crowded.
anyone got a collection HUDs from other games for reference?

>>146782353
Stagnation. It's been 9 months since i started it, 3 months of nodevving. You come back. see the spaghetti code, see all the complicated things you still would need to do and you would barely see any progress.
So today i just sat down back to devving and decided that trying to figure out how the game would remember dead guys, and implementing all the things i wanted to have would be really hard.
Tl;dr: I blowed shit out of scope, and got tired. Then when trying to come back i got lost.
>>146782189
maybe so but i still think it needs some ragdolling for visual effect
if authenticity is important it's still covered by the fact that we dont have observational evidence that rigor mortis in outer space would prevent all joint mobility. the effects of weightlessness seem to me would at the very least allow some potential freedom on the ball joints which require constriction on every axis.

I know that feel anon. Never take a break from deving a game. NEVER.
>>146782970
And pic related is the pure code. Each group of runes means "create a cube in the specified direction and give it the following DNA".
The sequences are longer and longer because the nanomachines need to go up to reach the top of the letter.
>>146783324
NEVER.
Taking a break actually killed my desire to finish ANY of games i ever made that are playable. 4 of them.
>>146781446
What is your game idea? Is it fast paced? Networking differs a ton depending on what you plan to do
