Should I kill myself?
>>148038235
repoasting in new thread, 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?
>>148038353
no plz carry on
>>148038784
r u srsly
>>148038627
That doesn't sound like a Monogame-specific problem. You could do what you said, and the challenge for you is going to be how you're going to store the block data so you can deal with multiple blocks and also rotate.
This is an exclusive secret non-mainstream thread. Post secrets here. Don't forget to sage.
>>148038092
>>148038353
No don't worry anon. We're generally considered engine devs. This isn't a friendly place for us. There's tons of people who think they're hot shit for really basic stuff.
And really it's not hard to make games that beat out /agdg/ if you try.
>>148040943
>make stupid long post and post it in the dying thread.
Painful.
>>148041218
>>148040943
/O2 btw.
And there's tons of variability in malloc performance. So that's bad.
>>148041247
Yes.
But you should probably read this:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SL-SurfaceShaderTessellation.html
Pretty sure these examples are free for you to use aswell
>>148041218
Mkay.
Anyway, I finished physics. The entire thing sends a whole game state in a single packet to the other client which is EXTREMELY hackable, but oh well.
Next up is perfect physics.
>>148043206
>The entire thing sends a whole game state in a single packet to the other client which is EXTREMELY hackable, but oh well.
You don't have to care about that yet but really security can only be handled on the server side by verifying the player interactions. So for instance when the client player moves the paddle you send 'I'm moving the paddle' to the server, the server then checks if it's a valid move or not, throws it away if it isn't and there, now the client can't move the paddle however they want. And you always trust the server.
Of course in a 2 player P2P game it's kinda pointless because both aren't really trustworthy.
Perfect physics seems nice.
>>148044182
It's P2P, yeah.
Perfect physics...
I tried Box2D, the result was unplayable.
>>148044578
Not worth it for pong. It's not really a physics game. You have to remember that the paddles aren't supposed to reflect the ball. They're supposed to multiply the velocity magnitude and change the direction based on where it hits the paddle. It's something that you forget after having played pong a lot.
>>148044727
Right so, reflect basically, without loss of momentum. It is very much a physics game in my opinion.
>>148044848
Anyway, here's the demo
http://www.pastefile.com/C647VC
>>148044848
>reflect basically
Well if your paddle is a very specific shape yes.
But no. Not at all otherwise.
See pic
>>148045282
It reflects and the paddle gives the ball some of it's momentum if it has any.
>>148045282
Actually did this wong. The angle of the leftmost and rightmost rays should have the same angle except added 90 degrees
>>148045370
What do you think reflection is anon?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(mathematics)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(physics)
>>148045495
I don't get what your point is. Did you play the demo?
Rocket Qutie release when?
>>148045370
>>148045495
>>148045620
I see the confusion.
You can make your pong any way you want. But the original wasn't like that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrezFjGF-Kg
All I'm saying is that if you want to clone pong you're not doing that if you can call it 'reflection'.
I played the demo. That's literally (maybe imperfect) reflection. Which makes for an incredibly boring pong.
Also i see that your problem seem to be that you didn't make the player paddle a kinetic body if this was box2d. Probably should be.
Feedback? Got any? Thanks.
https://soundcloud.com/prutte-1/pantsu-harvest-hub
>>148045880
No, that was not my problem, please check on an update on what you're talking about.
As far as I can see the ball is reflected with some of the paddle's vertical velocity. Either way what you are saying so far changes nothing in the way it is implemented. Please be more specific.
>>148046361
>please check on an update on what you're talking about.
I don't understand these words in this context.
I have reasons to think that. But whatever.
>ball is reflected with some of the paddle's vertical velocity.
The second ball hit in the intro segment of the video is a clear example. He's moving downwards. If your hypothesis is correct the paddle should give the ball momentum so it's gonna take the slower path (more up down) towards the other side of the field. But you can see that it's moving almost straight forward just before there's a cut. That's the opposite of what you predict.
But it acts according to what I presented in my image. The closer the ball hits the center of the paddel the less of an angle it gets (it's closer to 0/180 degrees). The closer to the edge the ball hits the greater the angle is (closer to 270/90 degrees).
Here's a pong game.
http://daverix.net/projects/pong/
You can test this simply by letting the ball hit the back end of the paddle and having your paddle stand still. See pic.
I've made pong mate. I know this stuff.
What's the project you are waiting for the most?

this thread has the wrong links faggot
gamemaker users please help
draw_sprite_ext(spr_sword,0,x+20,y,1,1,270,image_blend,1);
if(collisionrect1){
with(obj_punchbag){
x+=30;
}
}
i want this code to just work with the punchbagobject that is beign attacked, but it instead makes al the punchbagobjects move
>>148062559
Fuck the links, this thread is dead, moron.
>>148062636
Use a collision function that returns the idea of whatever it finds (if it finds something). Most of them do, check the manual.
So:
my_target = collision_rectangle(whatever_parameters);
if instance_exists(my_target)
{
my_target.x += 30;
}
>>148064508
i dont quite understand what you did but it works, thank you
>>148065169
Basically, if you check an area for an object, most of GM's collision functions can find the object's unique ID. It is a variable you can access (also visible on mouseover in the room editor) and it looks like "100768" or something like that. That's what lets you tell multiple copies of an object apart in the game room.
The collision function returns that ID (basically it gives the ID as a result of its calculations, as if to say "here's what I found!"). In most programming language, you can do:
variable = my_function(parameters)
And variable will be set to what your function has returned.
So I'm setting my_target to whatever I find using my function's collision box. If there's an object there, it will return the object's unique ID. If there's nothing, it'll return a negative value (-1 or -4, I forgot).
Then I use instance_exist to see if I did, in fact, get an object that exists in the game room, and not a "nothing" negative value. If yes, I tell the object with that specific ID to move 30 pixels to the right. I could have used 100768.x += 30 if I was 100% sure it was the object's exact ID.
does anyone else prefer GM8 to GM:S?
>>148066115
I like GM8's color scheme better (black and green and grey is fucking stupid), and it has some functions like execute_string that are vital for one of my old projects, so I haven't ported all my games to GMS.
Also, Studio requires more clicks to load a project. But otherwise it's a bit better, I especially like the improved room editor and the ability to name code snippets with a ///comment at the beginning.
>>148066042
Great Stuff, thank you again i am still learning but i want to post my game soon
>>148047106
That phenomenon does indeed occur under the terms of my implemented solution.
>>148046049
Always good to hear your stuff, anon. I would say that the oboe sound you are starting out with sounds a bit average. Using a cleaner, better quality instrument there could give you a more professional sound overall.
>>148066968

You're doing God's work
Implemented character status effects (basically stat alteration over time - so poison, heal, also instant damage (where the duration is just 0))
In the webm it's just a bunch of interactable testobjects but basically the cubes do alteration over time and the spheres instant. Of course the instigator of that alteration can be anything.
Gonna use the same concept on character attributes tomorrow (which basically could be implemented with the same blueprints, but I wanna keep it a little organized, instead of generic - also it's a tiny bit different, since attribute alteration can also come frome equipment).
>>148070851
Were you the guy asking for status effects earlier today?I'm sorry for giving that enraged autistic response, I was having a bad day.

It's a series of smaller areas with low poly shit versions loaded in at the distance As you approach an area it is loaded in.
Most game engines should have support for this out of the box. The difficult part is making all that content as a 1ma

I've never been so productive before. Everything is so much easier and faster to implement. I spend so much less time trying to get the code to work how I want and so much more time just like making game.
>>148071259
>>148071527
Does the player's position need to be normalized as new areas are loaded? Like, don't errors start to happen if the player's X and Y positions are really really big? Minecraft had issues with that, I think.
can we get this faggot banned?

You need rocket boosters to manage that. Step out from the ISS and you'll still be in orbit.

There's a reason that languages which lean very heavily on OOP patterns are often mocked for their verbosity. It takes a lot of code to make simple things happen in C# and Java.

>>148072891
It's great if you have no skill programming and want something very simple to get started. If you're comfortable programming you'll find many limitations of the language, many frustrating decisions in the library, and overall spend more time fighting the tools than making a game.

Also hyper light drifter put the release date at Jun 2014, even though it wasn't actually "done" until earlier this year. And by "done", I mean the absolute barebones game released on Steam.

For real, what would happen, people make arbitrary threats all the time on the internet and 4chan especially, did he threaten to do something that would genuinly get enough attention the fbi or some other official group would go to the effort of hunting him down? I didn't see whatever it is he said but I'm pretty sure whatever it was it wasn't enough to disturb the hornet nest.

Why did this 'look at all my downloads' meme start, it seems kind of mean to people who didn't get many
Can I just say something?
Sourcefam really is the worst person I've ever seen on the internet. He's not a bad person in the same way people on other boards are, like posting mutilated animals or anything. He's just rotten to the core, negative, and a bad person. He's a failure and he can't stop telling us about it all the time, and if it's wrong for us to point this out, then just ban us I guess?
It would honestly be a favor. Because lately it seems this place is an illusion where supposedly it's for gamedev but 80% of the posts belong to the same raving lunatic. It is hard to keep pouring positive energy into a place that is haunted by this person.
Anyway, that's my only input on the matter.
Fuck you, reek. You're shit and you know it. I hope something comes to you that removes you from the internet for good. I really do. You're so overdue for it.
>>148076431
i got a bonner from the ending.
Oh and to be clear, what makes him definitively the worse person I've ever seen on the internet is how he has dedicated months and months (from what I've seen) to being a horrible person in one particular board.
I know he's been caught shitposting in other boards when he started wearing the birdmath trip but it goes beyond that. He has decided that AGDG is his victim and that he'll never let it go.
Someone like this can only be "helped" by having something tragic happen to them in real life, and I don't wish bad things on other people usually but Sourcefam, honestly dude. Your time is coming and you're going to regret how many hours and nights, months and years you've spent torturing this community.
I wish you nothing but the worst in life, because it's truly all you deserve. Good riddance to you and your entire genetic lineage. You are scum that when removed from the human race, will leave a vaccuum for far more worthy people to fill. Goodbye.
Devs. Disregard this until it's deleted or we're banned, do whatever. Best of luck to you.
Might be the wrong place to ask. But do any of you know where I can get a keygen for RAGS Designer that isn't just filled with viruses? I would buy it but poor.

this thread was made before the old thread was even made, apparently we decided to switch to this one after that one died. then 2 people made threads at the same time and someone saw that and decided to meme on it and make another.
>>148076938
You're attacking the person making the criticism, but not the criticism itself.
>>148076898
Referrals? Not really, only thing was one of the site runners of itch somehow found it and put it on the front page.
>>148076431
Amazing.

Remove that bloom shader, it's hideous
>>148076515
there are entire wings of multiple agencies that exist to capture people who did what he did. so yeah i would say so. as long as people like that are free, the world is less safe.
throw away the key i say.
>>148077374
What? How did that happen? Are you friends with the Itch people or something?
>>148076581
finally one of you posted something cool
>>148075384
Post your game.
>>148077345
His criticism was attacking the person making the game, not the game itself.
Is there such a thing as a game that's too good?
Sometimes I think about my dream game and it has so many good points and features that I can't help but think they all shadow each-other.
>>148076431
What the fuck why

MIXELS REEEEEEEEEEEEE
fuck gamedev
I was using OOP in my SDL2 project for the sake of OOP and this masterpiece game engine I had in my mind is now fucking trash because fucking pointers and shit
It's 2am in the morning and tommorow I'm going to my regular job, somebody kill me please
>>148077575
Yeah, the internet hates games that are too good. If you want people to love you you have to make a game that's kind of good but not enough to get too much attention.
>>148075785
Even though it has lots of mechanics you don't often see in these games, it's in essence a strategy RPG. I wonder if I can even market something like that, but I'll find a way.
Also, what happens with kickstarter funds when the "release for sale" goal isn't reached?
>>148075839
>Hyper Light Drifter
Holy fucking shit what's all that money for? I think I just need 10k for my programmer and me not to starve to death for a couple of months and again 10k more to pay artists. I've got some horrible sketches of what the characters look like so I guess I'll need to hire someone that can draw for shit and someone that can make sprites too.
It's a story heavy on characters driving the plot so I've paid lots of attention to them, I think I could sell that.
Also, why are they charging extra for a manual?
>>148076074
NO

Oppai mami then?Preferably w/ head

>that comic
That hit way too close to home.
>>148075406
thanks! I'm pretty sure I have hours of "save it and use it for something else" music from abandoned projects but I feel good about my game this time
>>148077561
Saying that art looks bad is not a criticism of a person. It's a criticism of the art. And that art does look bad.
>>148076431
Nice animation but the song sucks
>>148077575
>tfw my game will never have girls this cute
>>148077697
The owner of the company spent most of the money on his personal hospital bills. That's why the game took two years longer than expected to make and still had a massive reduction in scope.
>>148077965
That's not a criticism, that's an opinion.
>>148077994
What about this one then

Riiiight. "Hospital Bills". Totally not just more meth pills from his dealer. :)

What are you doing then?
consolepet dev here
32 view, 9 downloads
this is a much better ratio than what i had before i went to sleep
>>148078101
nah I agree with him I just prefer not to shit on people too hard. I already said it would look passable if the game is top-down
at this point it's clear even if you tell him that, he won't start over and redo all his assets. it doesn't look horrible and it does the job
>>148078535
Yeah okay Dan. Why don't you fuck off back to /x/ and finish piss patrol already
>>148078586
and I'd like to add that I believe consistency trumps good art. if you can make consistently good art that's great

My first guess was tranny dick chopping bills, but apparently the guy actually really does have serious medical issues
>>148078486
>What are you doing then?
Working on my office job, studying, and developing the game as much as I can. I think with that money both my programmer friend and me could quit work for a while and actually get down to business.
>>148078750
That screenshot isn't even consistent. The trees are low poly, the player is high poly, the rocks are low poly, and the buildings are a mix of both. And then it looks like it's going for a retro vibe but uses photorealistic lighting and bloom (probably just because it's the default in Unity).
Played around with the fitness functions today.
Previously, I simulated creatures for 20 seconds before measuring their walked distance. Now I measure the fitness live, based on energy expenditure - a creature loses energy constantly, but gaining distance fills it back up. If a creature's energy reaches 0, it's considered dead.
This energy budget will be pretty important later on, but I got a pretty nice performance improvement from this too - crappy creatures will be weeded out early from the simulation and initial, random generations will go by really quickly.
What do you guys think of the spinning animation here?
I wanted to make it look kinda unstable and wild but I'm afraid it just came out looking shit since I've never animated anything before.
I would make a game if I had a 3D model of a cute girl.
>>148078964
A corpse should be left well alone anon
>>148078931
>The trees are low poly, the player is high poly, the rocks are low poly, and the buildings are a mix of both.
Are you mad because you've never made a game? Show me any 3D game that doesn't use more polys some places and less others.
>>148078951
>>148078110
This song is nice but the animation isn't so nice
>>148079023
It's good for a first pass. Definitely looks like the shell is wobbling all over the place, although the consistency of the size of the flames might need to be tightened up a bit.
how do you promote your indie game?
>>148079023
It looks rough but it gets the point across well anon.
>>148079023
The shell looks nice. I feel like the "trails" aren't animated enough. In motion, at the speed in that webm, it almost looks like it isn't spinning at all. A bit more stretch and squash might do wonders.
>>148079206
I'm specifically talking about consistency of the style applied. One glance at that screenshot shows 3 radically different art styles at work.
>>148078964
write some shitty backstory about a meteor giving life to inanimate objects, give the player a gun and you have a horror game
100 of those things walking at you on a field would be v spooky

Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit, streaming gamedev before release, giving copies to streamers and youtubers, etc. are all things I'd strongly consider
