Are you really Japanese? Why are you wasting your time with agdg instead of the cool doujin circles from Japan?
>>148036848
Thing is, our jellyfish has much more character than that jellyfish. That game is a fuckin "control the gravity" molyneux platformer.
>>148036848
fuck that makes me want to puke, why the fuck would you make the camera spin?
Never give up aggydag, never give up!

First off, thanks for taking the time to review the game. Feedback like yours is very useful.
>>Didn't really know what was happening or what I was doing
This is an issue that has been reported by a few people. I'll add more explanation in later relases
>>Errors
Any idea on what steps were taken to cause that error to occur? Additionally, what graphics card do you have?
Thanks again!
In this world, it's all about a free released 2D or 3D cute girl.
Reposting my pasta.
http://pastebin.com/CfBELs4X
Let me know if I've missed your game.
>>148037342
You can probably get a free 3D cute girl from a 3rd world country.
>>148036542
I like the style. I probably wouldn't play it though.
Also I wouldnt call it mspaint style, because it has brush dynamics which mspaint does not have.
What's the cheapest/easiest to use mocap solution out there?
I know ipisoft was big a couple years ago but I'm wondering if there is any alternatives now
Give me ideas for a MC design

Thanks for the advice. Should I do it in something like gamemaker or do you think I should just shut up, pick one and get on with it?
YOU CAN DO IT!
>>148036731
Please help.
How do I make a generic character that I can then easily make controlled by either the player or AI? So far every time I make the player or enemy it's always hard coded into each, they're always separate.
>>148036892
POST IT
PLEASE
>>148037848
The opposite.
Here's one of the game's characters. It's the MC's mentor or something.
I wish the game was about cute anime girls.

repoasting in new thread again, I was asking about how to do hitboxes for tetris, in monogame, anon suggested to make a grid instead.
And how would I do that in monogame? I'm pretty fresh off the boat. Since it's 2d, would I just use an array for the x and y co-ordinates, check to make sure the current block won't occupy a space with a 1, and step down? And if it would occupy a space with a 1, lock the block, and move onto the next block?
>>148036542
I wish I could draw like that, so I say yes.
>>148038350

First for JIT compilers are best compilers.
Now the eye ability cuts through the next 4 enemies
This is balanced because it can only fire straight ahead and is actually hard to get into place to fire
>>148038445
Whodevs technically can make it, but they're still not welcome here.
>>148037181
Wow, I think he used a four-syllable word in there
Thanks for the emotional music so I can tell this is important
>>148038770
I hate the JIT so much but maybe not as much as the AOT in Unity's old ass version of Mono.
>>148037205
>Any idea on what steps were taken to cause that error to occur? Additionally, what graphics card do you have?
I have ATI FirePro M4000.
No idea what caused the errors, sorry.

LibGDX or Unity
>>148037181
He's actually right.
>>148038954
Are they upgrading to .NET Core?
>>148038785
still no Idea what the squares mean
One last request for feedback, now that demo day is over.
Did anyone find all the secrets in my game? (see webm for complete secrets)
Did anyone play on Linux / have issues with it?
Any other comments?
Brand to to makin' vidya games
If I start learning with Gamemaker will that fuck me over since it does a bunch of shit for me?
>>148039126
Is there much difference between Unity and Gamemaker? Surface level, they kinda look the same.
who wins demo day?http://www.strawpoll.me/10713863only let me put 30, sorry all yesdevs who didn't make the cut

With stolen music and enemies you can run past? I dunno, I feel like it could be so much better...
>>148039270
is she shooting nuts?
>>148039230
I haven't heard anything about them doing that but I don't think they would make it a priority, especially not if they would have to pay for it.
>>148037181
What the fuck
This is good advice
>idears
Fucking murricans
>>148039337
not voting you nerd
everyone wins
>>148039240
Blue squares are the movement range. You can move to any blue square this turn.
Red squares are where you can attack. This attack can target the 4 squares in front of the eye.
The squares seems like the least confusing part of this game
>>148039337
Every vote bullying 29 people, that's some efficiency.
>>148039307
With Gamemaker, you're eventually going to find it very difficult to do any 3D, any multiplayer, and actually just proper object-oriented programming. It's good for small prototypes though.
>>148039270
Too many leap of faiths.
>>148039624
Thanks for the advice. I'll download Unity now.
>>148039270
this is a joy to watch but seems like it would be awful to play and discover all those paths
>>148039270
In-depth criticism anon from the last thread here
Secrets I didn't find:
0:28 because it was outright suicidal (but I suspected there would be something)
0:17, 0:50 and 1:13 because they were way too fucking obscure
Sord/Aggy Dagger is even more obscure but it's pretty funny. Is there even a way to follow the trail of blueberries to the platform right before?
Gotta agree with >>148039671 too
Does libgdx work with Scala?
>>148039517
>if they would have to pay for it
Nope, .NET Core has been released under the MIT license, so it's "more free" to use now than Unity's version of Mono.
>>148039743
>I'll download Unity now
Why would you choose a terribly buggy engine?
>>148039270
Nope, sorry, they are pretty obscure desu, you should add a pattern or something so people have a vague idea where they can be, like Donkey Kong country, you start in one point but if you decide to check behind you there are some secrets, or those breakable walls.
>>148039909
A friendo recommended it.
>>148039839
It does (see https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Using-libgdx-with-Scala), but do you really want to write a game in Scala?
>>148039909
Because he plans to make a game unlike you.

Hello AirScapedev
Make a camera that doesn't turn my stomach upside down
>>148040032
I was thinking about it, but I probably won't. I don't really know Scala though and was trying to find an excuse to learn it but I never found an interesting project for it so maybe I shouldn't even bother.

>>148037379
If you don't mind I would be grateful if you could review my demo.https://nurikabe.itch.io/viplikedd9
I have to sleep now though so I'm sorry to ask at this time when I cannot respond soon.
>>148039883
I could see them doing it then if they find it will fix or support something else they want to do. I am really hoping for a better GC and less unpredictable AOT compiler.
>>148040267
>just use c++ w/ opengl like all cool kids
You mean nodev
Look at demo day, all the yesdevs aren't making hello triangle for weeks because they don't want to use an engine.

gamedev is suffering.
>>148040238
If you want an alternative to Java for working with LibGDX, I'd suggest Kotlin. If you want to learn about languages with fancy type systems, however, start with Elm (http://elm-lang.org/). You could make a real game in Elm if you don't mind that it's still version 0.x and the devs will certainly break your code before 1.0 arrives.
>>148040482
>I churned out that red rectangle in mere days
Now churn out a game
>>148040751

Noted. I actually used the red flowers to mark secrets in many places but noticed I forgot a few. I'll also do my best to avoid blind jumps in the future.
>Sord/Aggy Dagger is even more obscure but it's pretty funny. Is there even a way to follow the trail of blueberries to the platform right before?
You can jump to the platform from below, it's just at the right height. The trail is there just to point to the fake spikes (which also have a red flower behind them if you look very closely)
>>148039515
They were supposed to be pinecones. I'm going to redraw them eventually since I don't think anyone recognized them.

>proving my point

Yes, I'm using it. I can help you get the build working
>>148040032
>>148040238
Don't be fucking stupid. What's could be wrong about writing a game in Scala? Loads of people are using Java, and Scala can be written as a better Java. Or it can be written like a functional haskellhead language. Or, the middle path, the Scala way that takes from both.
The only bad thing about Scala is the compile times.
Anyone still need feedback?

So I fucked up my VS dark theme a couple of installs ago and it carried over through their cloud profile shit. Any way to reset it to the default VS dark theme?
someone please fucking help me i have a problem my shmup has over 30 weapons in it now and I can't stop but I havent even made the first level
>>148040773
No, fuck that, Kotlin is nowhere near as used in real projects as Scala.
Elm is a really cool and promising new language though, really easy to get started on, really safe and fun to write. I really wish I get to use it in the real world some day.
>>148040935
If you actually believe you have a million dollar idea you're an idiot not to make it. Learn as you go, make it solo in three years if that's what it takes, it's still 300k/year salary.
But your idea is shit and you know it, otherwise you'd be off earning that one million.
I present you... THE PROTAGONIST!
>>148040935
What point?
>>148041209
Jokes's on you though, I have actually already MADE my game, and now I'm wanting to make a sequel! I have seven lined up actually, since it's going to be a full series. The first ones are going to be small APPS sized games for mobile, and will be prequels but teh two sequels are much, MUCH bigger and will have 10x the skills of the first ones and you can level all your stats to 99! it will have more skills than Kingdom Hearts 2!
>>148040773
Is there a reason to go with elm over something like typescript?
>>148041341
Mr dusty your eyes should be lowered just a single pixel, and put some shadowing around the whites to make him got more facial detail

More useless visual progress. Now the camera zooms in and out during the song.
Once I start actually reworking on the core code structure and how the song is stored I should be able to tell the camera when to zoom in/out and where to move/rotate based on the song.
>>148040126
I could explain it to you but I won't. Read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulator_sickness

WEAPONSI'm a sucker for massive arsenals so I'm really curious about your game, can you show us a vid of all these space guns in action?

Instead of having premade models for the crowd you should have parts (head, shirt, pants, etc) that combine randomly to make the crowd more diverse.
>>148040942
>What's could be wrong about writing a game in Scala?
Porting to mobile will suck.
>The only bad thing about Scala is the compile times.
And the increased GC pressure if you do moderate FP. And hunting down bugs if a library you use turns out to be full of symbol noise (you have check in advance). And the occasional inscrutable compiler error. And implicit conversions. And the mediocre IDE support.
>>148041103
>Kotlin is nowhere near as used in real projects
That's true enough, but JetBrains use it to develop Idea and the third-party feedback online has been positive so far. Considering that it's only moderately different from Java (declaration-site variance is the biggest difference), it is less likely to have a fatal flaw that only becomes apparent later.
>>148041590
Elm is very different from TypeScript. It is a pure functional language.
Got the basic player menu put together. This is where you'll go to check your inventory, upgrade your blaster, etc.
I am going to start making a game now
And I will have a demo ready before DD10

>>148041995
ill have to record it and make a webm sometime but here's some picture shit. I like to draw everything in like one big ass picture then rip things out of it and make sprites. I dont know why its probably a horrible way to go about it.
also r8 my pixelshit.
>>148042296
There is none.
>>148042196
>make the crowd more diverse
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE SJWS FUCK OFF REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
But in all seriousness this is a genius idea. I'll think of how to implement it. Thank you.
>>148039270
Secrets are cool but it having like 20 secrets in one small level where you can't go five paces before reaching another one seems like over indulgent design that is going to result in them becoming another familiar monotony on par with walking and jumping. To make a metaphor of it: you like chocolate but you don't tend to eat 20 chocolate bars in one sitting.

It seems like your overthinking things.
Unless your tetris is going to vary size, mid game.
Then i can think of no reason not to save the board as a 2d array.
It is objectively less data. That never gets freed-allocd.
>This way i can control every block.
You control every block as a 2d array.
Are u doing something i am missing?
>>148042572
I downloaded your game and it's too hard I suck at rhythm games PLEASE POST LEWD COSTUME
Finished implementing a simple paroling system. The npc walks between preset points and if he sees an enemy within his cone of sight he starts chasing and attacking and after killing him he resumes his patrol. I can also adjust the patrol points so the ai can stop for a bit and look in a given direction and stuff like that.
I want to also add the ability to call for reinforcements and ears for the enemies.
>>148042728
Cute girl
>>148042625
That's another cool idea.
I also thought about having people leave the concert halfway if you play really bad.

sweet thanks
>>148042591
(G) works by:
Fire a shot. It moves forward until it collides with a surface, an enemy, or you use the "Weapon Extra" key (Default B) which triggers the shot.
When the shot is triggered it expands and explodes outwards, consuming enemy projectiles and pulling enemies towards the center if they're within a certain size category (the upgraded version hits larger enemies). Enemies caught in the rift take damage periodically, and enemies colliding in the rift are affected by contact damage to eachother.
When the rift collapses after a short time of opening, it performs one last hit for a higher amount of damage than the periodic ones.
tl;dr, it grabs shit, eats bullets, and causes interstellar traffic jams.
***
Gun (E) is an explosive. It fires a projectile that attaches to enemies and explodes after a short period (or instantly if the detonation button is pressed). You can stack up to three shots on an enemy, and higher stacks have better explosions. The upgraded version adds a "Napalm/Burning" effect to grant additional damage over a short amount of time (to get quick enemies, or to stack on bosses. Burning can stack, ramping up damage output quickly.)

Audience should climb up the scene and assault her if you do too badlyAnd then the kicks and punches will follow the rhytm instead
Just a quick little update here, I sped up Charlotte's movement speed since most people said the game felt too slow. I didn't speed the attacks up though, her basic attack's supposed to be slow.
I also slowed down her running animation since it looked a little silly going so fast.

Yeah judging from the trailer that sounds about right. I wouldn't play this game halfway even if you paid me one dollar.

Are we talking Cutebolds? If so then yes.

Its shit like that that makes me so afraid every day for my life that someone is goign to throw a brick through my window or break in and hurt my wife and son, and yet people feel entitled when tit comes to video games? Gamers are entitled shits and I reall yjust want honest opinions on Envica VII. It's my dream game.

Yeah, not happening.
This is all you get until you get an A.
>>148041759
Like someone else said I really think you should have multiple rows. Even with the notes being color coded having them in separate lanes makes things so much easier; especially since it's not like our keyboards have the keys colored to correspond with the notes.
Also this is probably far in the future but having speed mods would be nice as well, since not everyone reads at the same speed. It'll help everyone be able to time better.

Yeah I think I'll try that sooner or later. It would easier to manage then the code I'm using now.
To be perfectly honest, I like how the game is set up now. I know it's conventional but still. But in the end this was just one of a few concepts I came up with back during Waifu Jam.
I wanted to make a kind of rhythm game with something more. At the time I struggled a lot to get things working and had to change my vision a lot. The result was The Witch and The Dragon. But another idea I had was to make an idol rhythm game where like in Ouendan your performance made the difference on something else.
The idea for the single not line came from this random screen shot I found when looking for rhythm games on Google images to get some inspiration.
So yeah, I will definitely try a 4 line system but I might keep both, maybe as different modes, or maybe have different songs (or idols) use different systems.
Lastly, what do you mean with "speed mods"?
>>148045758
>rape
what happened to lolisimdev anyway
I see you're bullying me to get me to post the SECRET COSTUME™, but that's not happening. Ha, ha. You silly Otaku.
If you want the SECRET COSTUME™ you have to be the very best that no-one ever was at MY game. That's right, I'm not pandering to lazy fat neckbeards that want everything for free. No, you have to work for it!
if it sound like I am repeating myself, then obviously the one with the problem is you. Stop impersonationg me and make your own lewd bunny if you want it so much.

I've imagined this 2D action platformer in my head since 2012 and never gone and set it down on paper. I have some story elements which is really where a lot of my "motivation" comes from.
I also have some really neat ideas of game mechanicsno feature creep thoughin my head. However, I'm pretty bad at setting anything in my imagination on paper, don't know techniques and so on. Same goes with art.
Despite that, I want this game to be like Cave Story in a lot of aspects, specifically the gun aiming and real time weapon switching. A thing I wanna have is for example wall jumping.
I'm basically all fresh new to this, I have literally no programming skillsoutside of hacking 3DS stuffand outside some Brackeys episodes. I used to watch him back a while ago, but stopped because functions were never explained properly and there's no "Rules of C/C++" so I don't know how things interact or what their results are.
Basically, where do I start to learn ground up? And is Unity still okay for a 2D action platformer game?please don't kill me because I want an 8-bit style thing,because it's not "ANOTHER 8 BIT INSPIRED PLATFORMER INDIE GAME",I really want to do something productive with my life
>>148045586
>Just like play gaem
>That keeps happening
It only happens on my main PC, not my laptop though. Firefox on Linux in both cases.You can probably just think of it as a flash issue since adobe gives zero fucks about linux support.
>>148046556
Release platforms would be PChopefully including Mac and Linuxand NX, by the way. Might look into other platforms as well.

It's like being a doctor. If you're going into it for the money it's the wrong profession for you.
Also if you enjoy having a social life you can't be one either.

I'm going to start learning how to do this. The 3D is easy, but I've not done anything with sprites. And I'm going to use UE4 and bake normal maps.
Yes, that's right. I'm sinning right here in the midst of you all.

he can't post here without getting banned, he should just create a blog or something but he would probably get kicked from tumblr and the other sites as well...
>>148045079
It looks like you're already getting some honest feedback from the Steam page, even if it hurts anon.
True talent bounces back from criticism. Turns out the first iteration of your dream game wasn't the groundbreaking masterpiece you expected. Take the good, learn from the bad, and keep moving forward.
>gamers are entitled shits
Don't fucking be that guy.
>>148046556
it's alright friend, nobody really cares what kind of game you want to make, we're all here for different reasons
I don't think unity is all that well suited to pixelart platformers. you should try gamemaker and look up tutorials, that will teach you to code while actually getting some results.
if your goal is ultimately to make a game I don't recommend learning C from the ground up, it will be a very long and frustrating experience
>>148046123
I think having different modes is a good solution; you won't have to abandon the line since some people might like the single lane but you'll also satisfy people who want multiple lanes.
And speed mods are an option in some rhythm games that let you set how fast the notes go. I mostly play Bemani games but in those the default scrolling speed is set to a song's bpm, and then you can modify it with a multiplier to make the notes faster or slower. Generally as you get better at a rhythm game you'll want to set it to be faster so the notes don't get all clumped up and hard to read, but some people like seeing as many notes as they can at once. More non conventional rhythm games like Ouendan don't have it but since your game has scrolling notes it'd be a nice feature.

GNU Social was made for him.
So I'm going back to the original implementation of combat, where units deal damage instead of one punching all the time. That version was fun and fast paced, but very swingy and cut off design space.
This unit has no maximum size, can move 6 per turn total, but in increments of two.
Thanks to the anon who recommended Casey Muratori, I read a few of his blogposts and cut out one of the abstraction layers from my game.
>>148046907
According to a couple of my artist friends, doing art for furries is a great idea if you need cash
But making art for cash is pretty fucking dumb
>>148046786
Huh, that's weird. It probably is just a flash issue with Linux since I haven't seen it happen before and I've played my game on both a PC and a Mac. I've mashed the keys like crazy as well to try and make sure the movement works.
>>148045245

Just walk away.

Hold the fuck up. If you don't know a thing or two about programming or video game design, start fresh. Here check this out.
http://unity3d.com/learn
Unity has some real good stuff to get you off the ground and running, and there's even a 2D platformer tutorial around. They teach you how to code, how things interact, and have prebuilt implementations for things like hitboxes and shit. The engine itself is pretty powerful, and depending on how much you want to do it may even come in handy. I switched away from it to LOVE because I want to make a simple shmup kinda thing, and going to college for CS it's fairly easy for me to pick up programming languages.
Also start much smaller. Your dream game will come but it's you have to learn how to make a foundation before you build a house.
>>148046434
It's a falseflag.
This guy is salty as fuck just because the "idol weeb shit" got more download that his shitty game.

A 2D pixel art platformer is a fine place to start if you have no experience, so don't worry about that. Hating people for doing that is only what idiot son /v/ do who don't actually understand how game development works.
Personally I'd recommend checking out GameMaker instead of Unity if you don't have much/any programming skills and just want to jump into making a game. Unity's more of a 3D engine.

Do they have harsh quality control now? Or is it just that there are too many people competing?
Everytime I go to start making a game I will make a great amount of progress in a week but after hitting the end of prototyping I start to add more features and fix bugs, this is when I get extremely unmotivated is there anyway to stop this or am I just not cut out for deving? Does anyone else experience this?

I think this is normal.
Actually making the game just isn't as fun as designing the engine/mechanics.

You can also use Clang. Either way it is insane to use C++ to draw red rectangles but if you must Cairomm is the best way to do so.

>>148047224
>GameMaker
I really don't know, but if the site doesn't lie about Hyper Light Drifter, then I guess I could make some neat shit.
Also, I can understand some lines of code. I can't really say what I understand and don't, but I guess I have an image of some 3DS texturing shit I was doing. Basically I was looking at the program's code to find out why it was compressing textures twice.
I wasn't able to figure it out, but I can understand a good amount of "this is connected to that thing", at least that's what I think of myself.
>>148047597
I'll just have bigger and bigger, better and better revisions of the game in a form of improving.
>>148047857
I mean yeah, it's called Unity3D for a reason and I know that, just I saw Brackeys and I thought he was pretty neat, but it just simply wasn't fun to watch because I don't know how to experiment.
I'm gonna check out GameMaker once again after what, 7 years. I remember trying to make a Mario thing when I was like 12 and having the guy jump up and fall out of the thing, couldn't figure out collision.
>>148047727
I'll check that out, I guess.
>>148047872
I have personal reasons driving it as well.
added a new idle stance, still working it out
added a new gun model/texture
and a new sword model /texture
>>148046556
Yes, Unity works well. Make sure you do one or two projects to learn it beforehand tho.

Game Maker is really good for simple 2D stuff; a lot of good platformers have been made in it. HLD is a GM game too, and while you might have heard about its stupid 30 FPS cap, that's the developers being dumb, not GM.
>>148048462
>bigger and better
Good. Don't release it until you can get an assembly of fuckwits you have no relation with telling you that it's a solid game.
Also I started watching the YESDEV series like the anon suggested. S'good humor mixed in with very good advice.
