Yeah it's totally the same, yelling "WHO ARE YOU GET THE FUCK OUT REEEEEEE" vs "hey I like your stuff, you should stick around and post more, here's some criticism and tips"
>>147752676
telling someone to lurk more =/= telling someone to post more
>>147752420
Most forums don't actually have that and you fell for memes.
You can register sockpuppets if you're genuinely concerned. Plenty of devs from here have had success on FacePunch btw. There's 8ch's /agdg/ which is far less toxic if you absolutely need anonymity.
reposting, hoping for a feedback
>>147751814 (You)
showing a simple problem/solution. this is how the player supposed to progress. as you can see black tiles are actully blocking pulling other island etc etc.

lurking more -> not posting progress -> still a whodev
if someone calls you a whodev, keep posting your shit so that they either shut up or have a hilarious tantrum about it
>ruined op
I wonder who's behind this one...
>>147752676
Who the fuck asked you, fucking nodev?

This. He's tried to splinter people off into druggie and stormfront boards before. Don't believe his lies. Start at the root and keep drilling.

So I'm not welcome here?
>>147752984
I don't disagree
but people are gonna go WHODEV GET OUT no matter what so if you want to post shit on agdg just do it
>>147752734
Fine, replace "lurk" with "post bantz and progress"
If someone has been on agdg more than a week they wouldn't be bullied out by someone calling them a whodev andgiving them attention
The only people that are chased out are people that don't understand the general culture, which means they just parachuted in to promote their game. If they're here because they like this place, they'd know how to deal with criticism/whodev accusations
can I sell my game here?

Oh great, he's back with his memes again!

I see you don't know shit about game dev. I only watched the trailer and that game took alot of work to do with all that varied shit in it, and i know because i actually worked on some of those things in my own games.
that game looks pretty good, but not 60 euro good, about 20 euro would be perfect, maybe 40, based on how big it is

Got some decent looking Pillars in. The orange block is going to be a fireball eventually. I think I'm just gonna make it into a game when you need good timing to jump from pillar to pillar but also need good timing to avoid obstacles and other stuff.

It's just the animation I'll probably use for the furthest jump available. I plan to make different animations for different lengths of jumps.

Yeah I find it moves a bit too slow as well. Ill have to fix that up.
I don't think Im gonna make it for demo day :(

You should consider making some levels when you have to use the homing missiles to destroy some obstacles for you, or levels where there are two submarines and you must use the homing missile to destroy one of them.
>go straight into wall/obstacle(submarine
>sharp turn, U-turn

I think it could add another layer of depth. Just a suggestion though.

I added a second model to each snake segment, as a connector. Now each snake is fully connected and can be distinguished on the board.
Motion is choppy thanks to some past choices that I don't have time to correct before demo day.

They really stumbled onto a good mechanic, but failed to explore it at all.
What are some good tutorials on MODELING? Not tutorials on "le how to use blender". I can say I already mastered Blender. But my models are average / below average.
Also don't tell me to go to /ic/ because I came from there. I already know how to draw and shit. I'm no master but I'm above average, I just need to learn to model

>>147760408
That's a pretty vague question, I'm sure people draw the line differently.
Is a game trial and error because an enemy killed you with an attack you had never seen before and consequently didn't counter?
Because a room was particularly difficult but you didn't know?
A seemingly inane switch insta-kills you, but this information was available in a book somewhere earlier in the game?

>>147760978
There's robot designs by humans like this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7hNHw3Dwn8
problem is I want ground sensor contacts(because users will be able to modify leg length to enable you to climb steeper slopes), and that hexabot has 3 servos per leg. And it's moving all of them all the time as it's moving. So that means I need to figure out how to update 18 different angles while simultaneously preventing legs from sliding around or clipping through ground or walls. All this while ensuring it's a generic system that can support different leg lengths over uneven terrain.
So most likely I'll oversimplify the system to be pretty much mobile pillars on an underslung rail system with the fortress proper being on another rail system on top of this one, with rotation issues being handwaved away through articulated heels or something.
>>147761832
A learning AI would eventually become too difficult for the player to deal with. They would learn bullshit strategies like hit once and run backwards x 10000.

All I got from this is that playtesters are fucking stupid.
I've run into a bit of a circular dependency problem that I've had before, and I was wondering of there was a better approach than the one I'm using. I have a Dungeon object with a collection of Actor objects, and each Actor has a reference to the Dungeon it is in. Is there a better pattern to avoid this circular dependency, or should I live with it?
>>147763168

Why does every actor need a reference to it?

The dungeon is the environment in which the game takes place, like a scene. It contains the tiles and navigation graph. If an actor attempts to move, It checks with the dungeon if the tile is already occupied by a wall or another Actor.

>>147763793
better, now remove the blush and it will make sense
>>147763998
My understanding is that it's mostly XNA, so try XNA stuff if you can't find monogame solutions for it.
I'm excited about doing things, even I know only I will ever enjoy my game
>>147762786
>>147763485
nevermind. i didn't need to check for intersection, just if there's a solid tile underneath.
>>147763782
Seems like you could have a dungeon object with static methods which take an Actor and what they want to do as an argument. Or you could have the actor handle its own movment and then check a static tile and graph object.

Added tutorial keys before demo day.
>>147763998
It's not that bad if you look for things to do with XNA and Monogame since it's all pretty much the same.
It's a framework so most of the things you'll have to do yourself anyway.
>>147764365

You should try splitting the dungeon class into a class that handles entities and a class that handles the tile map. The dungeon owns the entities and the tile map, and the dungeon passes the entities a pointer to the tile map they're on.
