Every
Fucking
Day
These fucks have been demolishing shit in my mouse
From 7am to 5pm, every day, for a full week now
I cant dev, I cant watch anything, just Overwatch, for the whole god damn week
Why do people get mad at funposting?
here's a lil' dev tip for you boys:
if you subtract a negative it's just like adding...

>>147663840
Take that back. Now.

>>147663840
shut the hell up
>>147663845
Because open software is usually terrible and made by autistic aliens that make things differently just for the sake of being different (see: blender's UI).
Finally off of work. Time to keep plugging towards Demo Day! Got new menu music written last night, and a lite intro thing done as well. Now to get the journal functional and squash some bugs.

Pretty polished. I think the zomies death cries should have some variation
>>147664990
Thanks! They do have about 3 different pitches that gives them some variation, but it would never hurt to record some new ones.

What do you guys use to record webms?
Seems like a lot of work for me to record with FRAPS or Shadowplay, import into Premiere, and save as a webm.
>>147664892
the absolute madman
>>147665231
I use OBS for recording and Premiere for cutting editing, but I see alot of people here use WebM for Retards for quick conversions. Not sure what functionality it has for editing in/out points.
>>147665148
It will live on in the .txt until I'm not a complete hack.
>>147665148
Good. How's the """"mobile"""" """"market"""" """"treating"""" (You)?
>>147665231
>What do you guys use to record webms?
I record with OBS as .MP4, then go into VLC and convert it to .webm (with sound disabled, else you cant post them here). I output it as .MP4 in OBS because outputing as .FLV as the default gives me video issues when I convert to .webm in VLC.

Godot is a meme
So if I'm making a relatively low poly model (about 7500 polys) would I need to make a point of modeling out the musculature or could I get away with "bendy straw"ing it??
>>147665189
Is that better?
>>147665231
I pipe the screen data directly to ffmpeg.
>>147665231

just get rid of the blood or up your resolution.
>>147665715
Unless you are already knee-deep I'd consider switching. Seems like Godot lacks error indetification and reliability.

>>147666093
I'm BALLS DEEP in this engine. I'll just tough it out until the big fall update. Unless it breaks my game in which case I'll abandon ship
>>147665867
Texture it.
>>147666159
If 3D modeling is too hard for you, maybe you should try to do something as braindead as >>147665920
That seems right up your alley, mate. No talent required.
>>147666368
Why can't we all just get along
>>147666346
>Unless it breaks my game in which case I'll abandon ship
How would the update not break several things if not most of your project?
That's why I like libraries.
>>147666350
I... what? That doesn't answer my question about topology.
>>147666510
because that's no fun
>>147665405
You can select where the output starts/stops with Trim function
>>147666334
>easy to use
>popular and proven
That's why probably, but similar things could be said about all engines.
These fellas are quite intense already to fight even without soundeffects,
>>147666334
Because people here always try to defend their own waifu-engine, it's some kind of eternal war.
Did people like the side view platforming parts of the old Zelda games?
So I finally got the disguise system working. So far it doesn't do anything but I'm happy to have it there after hours of troubleshooting dumb little problems. Also have it set up to easily add and switch disguises.
Now I have to learn to code AI for the very first time.Sorry it's my first game

>Why do you guys meme about GM again?
Probably because game maker uses its own scripting language and isn't "real" coding.
Game maker is great. It's easy as fuck to get some really basic shit down fast and working in <1 hour if you're familiar or following a tutorial.
I watched a tutorial on getting a 3rd person camera in Unity and it took like 3 hours to get a camera that functioned only ok. That's -just- the camera.
>>147667596
You try Battleblock?
I really liked it.
>>147666976
If you refer to Link's Awakening, it was pretty cute, though not well-developed. Zelda 2 was complete trash
This creature has clearly evolved past giving any fucks about its own fitness, and I shouldn't shame it based on its lifestyle choices.
It's a goddamn evolutionary dead-end though, even after 800 generations.
Also, I made a tumblr: http://dungeonecology.tumblr.com/
>spend all day working on thing
>a much better and easier way to do thing pops up in my head
>>147667959
tell me about it, anon, I'm curious
>tfw you start to replace your placeholder art for near-final assets
When do you replace your shitty placeholders? Once the game is complete, or as soon as its playable?
>>147668296
Depends on how important the graphics are for the game.
>>147668296
sometimes making your game pretty can be a good confidence boost
>>147668287
I lied.
Released cute 2D or free 3D girl yet?
>>147668296
>>147668404
Yeah I think you gotta work on all aspects almost in tandem.
Get the core working.
Get some graphics to make it feel more like a game.
Get more in depth mechanics working
Maybe completely finish one asset (usually player character)
More in depth mechanics
Finish another
etc.
Or you could just use programmer art until the very end, then finish up on graphics.
I personally like getting some stuff looking really good while others stay placeholders until the end.

Hi, it's the game who had problem with the clown tutorial on GM in the last thread.
Yep, I'm still not sleeping, but I found the solution to my problem :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVlycefSztM
It was so fucking simple it's embarassing.
Just an announcement to anyone who is interested /following my progress and hoping for space jam:
I had to visit my relatives for some reason and i don't have access to my regular workstation (posting from my tablet) and I won't return to my regular workstation in for about two weeks and continue my work, so I am very sorry to say my participation in space jam has been canceled.
So, anon who had a problem getting Visual Studio to work, I figured it out, for anyone who cares.
I watched the install with both process monitor and process explorer, it turns out it's installing the redistributables incorrectly, and then when it tries to access them, it fails. The solution is to uninstall them all, and VS 2015, and install the stand alone redistributable, both the x86 and x64 version.
>>147669526
*Hi, it's the guy who had problems
(I'm tired)
I'm 30% of the way to the top 100 after exactly one day of being on steam greenlight. I think It's gonna work.
I have 40% yes and 60% no though. The average is 60% yes but I guess if I get in the top 100 with a shitty percentage it probably won't matter.
>>147668862
if you are working with an artist make sure (no matter how experienced they are)
that all the assets they are making are to scale and work well within your game, otherwise they will have done a shit ton of work for nothing
>>147667959
>Spend all day trying to do something on gamemaker

How can you dev a game in dungeon and dragons?
>>147668287
Not him but related, I wanted to know if a group of connected points made a circle, and if it did, if it was the smallest circle avaiable. So I made an algorithm that would go into a dot, add it to a vector, and move to the neighbors, and so on, until the smallest vector was returned.
After a whole day doing it, I realized all I wanted was to know if there was a circle, not the content of that circle. I could just go paint graph, marking the initial node, then go breadth first and the first one to reach a marked node that isn't his father would be a circle.
>>147669526

A lot of rpg are just dungeons and dragons mechanics with different art actually.
>>147670107
apprently UE
(street fighter V, Guilty Gear Xrd)
the thing about making fighting games is that you need a lot of things
amazing art
really good programming knowledge
deep knowledge of traditional fighting games/other types of fighting games
and if you want your game to be played over time youll need
good balance
interesting characters
interesting mechanics
good music
the genre is very demanding
>>147670006
This is literally impossible since all dungeons & dragons nodes have super short code equivalents.

>>147671582
You can mod your savegame with just notepad then, and it seems like readable text would be easier to keep backwards compatible. Like if you add or remove a field, wouldn't a serialized version just not work then?
Anyway it feels too delicate so I dont have saving anymore anyway, lel

My partner in a school project made that error once, I was tired of fixing all his bugs so he tried fixing it by himself for 2 weeks until I decided to look at his code and saw the error in like 5 seconds. The moral of the story is you people are idiots and shouldn't do any programming.

Sure if you want a bloated ass engine to use up all your CPU and RAM for a damn 2D game.
I should have bought GameMaker while it was on sale.

>>147672658
most professional 2d fighting game companies use their own engine, i would never recommend game maker for anything. and i have a feeling its anon's first game . in which case your first fighting game should be pong

You could, but that's not fun so why would you?
>>147672996
One person on G2A is selling it for $30.
apparently love2d wants stuff in some fucked up format if I'm going to use this "Quad" feature that's apparently so great, and apparently basically required for animation
is there a tool that will make it easier to put stuff in this "border" setup it wants images to have?
>>147673613
you need your own engine for fighting games otherwise you are spending 4x as much time setting multiple collision boxes for multiple moves on multiple frames
shit would take forever inside game maker, you could fucking make nidhogg on game maker, cause the scope is so small
>>147670941
i don't code
i did make an event system with fields of vision and a very simple set of rules for combat and stealth using rpg maker years ago though
>>147672614
Yeah haha, I whipped this up with some of the assets I had laying around. The Greenlight is a complete miss, I'm trying to decide whether I should reskin the game and add more features, or just try something new.
>>147672619
Probably will do exactly that.
>>147670941
A small 3D beat em up with online mode. All assets were stolen and I got stuck with the animations so I stopped working on it to focus on other stuff, but I hope to go back to it someday.
Is there a simple way to due some non-rectangular collision? Like maybe checking if rays intersect or something? I don't want to import a physics library and I sure as hell don't wanna make one but man I need some diagonal collisions.
What's better, Unreal Engine or Unity?
>>147674347
Unreal is the better engine, but Unity has more help online so it's a choice for you to make.
>>147674347
game maker
>>147673946
It's not fucked up, it's just confusing semantics. Use anim8 library if you really need it to be simplified.

Risk-rewards systems with "humane" things like letting her in the sun and not raping her too much makes her healthier, which sells for more in the pedo market. But it increases the chances of her escaping or being detected.
all this time spent devving and i only have a working player character, haven't even touched enemy AI and turn-based flow.
what's the best way to go about making a game turn-based in gamemaker, using a flow controller object with an array for turn order?
>>147673613
Yeah they're just regurgitating things they heard from the Yanderedev debacle. Yanderedev made a fighting game in Unity and it really triggered some guy who only worked with custom engines into bullying him. This lead to Yanderedev getting angry and making Yandere Simulator which is currently set to be kickstarted for millions of dollars.

guys im gonna start my 'nightly game jam' today
today's theme is 'falling'
i'm working on something inspired by this:
https://boards.fireden.net/vg/thread/147370061/#147391930
with game maker can I reference the object_index instead of the name with instance_create?
i have the objects in the game in a very specific order in the index and it would be convenient to just pull from that instead of needed to code for every single individual enemy.
Who /trackball/ here? Beyond comfy when 3D modeling.
What happened here?

But is a girl anon, and probably a very short one. Let's say she is 140cm she will look ok at 36kg but she will look fat af at 70kg

So, maybe this is a dumb question, but monogame can be used to make games on vita and ps4, right? I'm assuming I need some sort of liscening to do this, obviously. When I go to new project in VS< I don't know what option would be for a (hypothetical) ps4 or vita project. I see windows, ios, android, ouya, cross desktop, etc.
