>tfw pressured to finish game become western civilization crumbles
Played some demodau gayms decided by a random number generator. Here some reviews for the whodevs.
>You are a torpedo AI
This is actually a lot of fun but I only downloaded it because I chose games at random. "Don't judge a book by its cover" is bullshit. If it doesn't grab attention people won't download it/buy it. Consider making a better intro/cover.
>Vampires bit
Absurdly cute and the graphics are wonderful, but the gameplay itself felt lacking. shitty controls, easy to get stuck, lacks variety. It felt like a basic pacman clone with a cute girl. If the controls were cleaned up, levels actually had some variety, and there were actual powerups or something it could be a better game.
>Rocket Xeno
Opposite problem of Vampires bit. Gameplay is fun and hard mode actually took multiple tries to beat as hard modes should. Interesting mechanics and I can see this selling on Android with more polish easily. Problem is the game lacks character, and some of the graphics like the background and explosions are poor.
>Ball Run
I'm guessing this is a sandbox game since I couldn't see any real goal. In which case the concept is alright but the controls are horrible. Consider defaulting clicking on an object to making it move that object. The UI as it stands is very unintuitive.
>Clean slate
No idea what I am supposed to do here buddy. Consider adding a tutorial or something as this just feels like random code using default unity physics.
>Clarent
This is awesome. Keep doing what you are doing m8.

That OP is so ugly
oh god i made a mistake

How do I resist the urge to redo my code because of annoying bugs? Debugging is fucking boring.
>>148491070
Im in doubt in what to use, unreal4 or unity or godot, i want something that gives me more than only gamedev skills, like unreal gives me c++ and unity c#, godot is getting c# soon but not soon enough, probably i should just forget it.
>>148491278
Would you like to do even more work later? Fix it now
>>148490320
Thank you for posting best girl
>>148491278
I'm just going to do my game as quick and dirty and then do a refactor when everything is about done.
The pre-optimization whining has some truth to it. I wasted far too much time trying to make things perfect, when they'll be better if I do it later.
>>148491290
>i want something that gives me more than only gamedev skills
go with UE4 C++ then, Unity's C# isn't up-to-date last I checked, and like you said Godot doesn't have C# yet
Hey senpais,
Still getting started with Gamedev, watching Unity tutorials the last couple of days, mostly these guys http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/2d-game-creation under live sessions.
It's exciting when I see how simple adding colliders and importing assets is, but then when it comes to movement or anything else they open up C# and start scripting.
Even though I'm doing my best to pay attention here, I feel like there's no way I'll ever be able to remember all of these variables/Terms and how they interact with each other.
Should I just be looking up all of these and staring them down til I understand them? It's worrying since I'm not sure what the best way to go about learning the scripting side.
So far I've been making checklists of things that I really don't understand as I go through videos.
Any help is appreciated.
>>148491149
Your sprite lacks black borders. Interesting.
>>148491463
You should be learning C# first.
>>148491420
thanks senpai, i'll make something and post it soon

You are a genius.
I hope you keep posting progress, your game really interested me
>>148486397
Thanks! Looking forward to it!
Things might take awhile. It's not easy building a following of supporters. People want to feel that you are reliable with your content. At least that's how I think anyways.
Whatever you do, keep up the good work, man.

Could you link me to the playlist you're currently using?
Is there a way I could shorten this code?
http://pastebin.com/SwEmReL9
Its purpose is to make an event invokeable easily, but still give the class the event sits on control over how it wants to react. The event is invoked, which triggers a handler to respond, which fires off an a coroutine (for if theres any async need).
It just feels like a lot, despite being wrapped in #region.. thoughts?
>>148492049
You're making Bomberman?
>>148490607
Also I just realized rocketxeno is the only mobile game in dd9 and it's by some whodev that never posts here. why does agdg not like mobile gaming?
>>148491463
here's a hintyou really don't have to remember the variables, learn c# instead and just get a general feel of how the dev is structuring his game. but whatever works best for you, I guess, as long as you are learning.

Cynical dosh is pretty much the only reason to make mobile games.
Who sits at home dreaming of making that amazing mobile game, literallyprobablyno one.
>>148491463
You learn coding by doing it.
Alternatively use gamemaker and follow the tutorials. Gamemaker is a good intro to programming as the language is simplified java with a much lighter curve. Then once you master GML c# may make more sense.
>>148492539
Thanks lad, good luck on the devving

1. most everyone here is using Gamemaker or Unity. Unity android export is shitty. Gamemaker android export is good but costs $$$.
2. It's way harder to design a good mobile game since you are limited to mouse/touch controls.
>>148482051
>I don't want to provoke you or 'bully' you, I'm just really curious about these choices.
Your questions are legit, no problem.
I will write a full answer, and so there will be several posts.
>Why is there so much references in the speeches? Many of them are memes, and I don't understand why did you put them in?
>Especially at the intro scene. This could be a very trippy, even thought provoking opening sequence, but the immersion just breaks with those lines.
God is a Cube is a puzzle game, which means that it's very hard to tie the story to the actual gameplay. In a puzzle game, you are supposed to follow instructions, and the way you complete the level usually bears no meaning.
I made it so everything is a lie.
You are following instructions. You are rewarded with golden cubes. But by doing so, you are accomplishing what people who control the instructions want you to make.
After a while, you discover that you can not just gather golden cubes in each level, but you can avoid them. But to do so, you need to learn the rules and the gameplay by following the instructions.
So you will have to first collect all golden cubes to learn how the system is working, to make it like they successfully programmed you to follow the instructions. That's your first playthrough.
Then, thanks to what you learned, during your second playthrough, you will be able to find the secret paths in each level and finally break free to get the true ending.
That's what I mean when I talk about tying the scenario and the gameplay. In a game where you are supposed to follow instructions, I need to make it so following the instructions itself is part of the scenario. So not following the instructions is also part of the scenario.
(1/3)
>>148492424
Mobile games are pretty pathetic imo
Besides, they don't earn any money for devs. It's a race to the bottom. Low quality games earning low revenue which creates more low quality games.
>>148492690
There's a game about jumping on top of crazy speeding trucks that gets frequently shilled on gamedev subreddits.
>>148492441
I think being able to build the game visually in unity is really helpful, when I tried learning C+++ and C# before I never really got to anything visual, and I assume it's all done with number calculations anyway if you aren't using an engine.
(I mainly just made simple calculators and never anything of value :x , So hopes are high with unity)
>>148482051
Now what about this opening video? Why so many memes?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgFy0Xkz2xw
Remember the rage you feel when you see one of those shitty video game translations? And the even greater rage when you realize those translations are voluntarily censored or manipulated by people who want to push an agenda? And the even-even greater rage when those people are trying to look like they are your buddy because they use some maymay?
In God is a Cube, there are only cubes. In order to convey the feeling of betrayal, I have to use a way to make you feel the betrayal.
"Something is wrong with this cutscene"
"Why those sentences?"
"Why those memes?"
The true dialogues are in fact the little symbols above each line. They are voluntarily badly translated. Finishing the game for the first time will give you the true meaning of those sentences.
By the way, the opening cutscene shows several 3D structures which will be used later in cutscenes. Those cutscenes will start like abstract scenes, and will become more and more concrete.

>I also don't understand the girl. She is cute, but she does not match the rest of the game.
A Mr Tutorial (or Miss Tutorial) is not part of the game. A Mr Tutorial is using words such as "Mouse" or "Keyboard" and those words bear no sense in the world of the game, no matter the way you use.
That's why I want this character to be disconnected from the rest of the game.
This character is also a meta-element of the story itself, as a way to convey the instructions you are supposed to follow. It's an element conceived to be both appealing to you (she is cute) and yet making you feel like there is something wrong (she doesn't match the rest of the game).
The game will go further than the game content itself, as it will contain some criticism of the society. And this criticism will be partly expressed by the game element which is not really part of the game itself, this little girl.
Do not think I'm revealing everything. The game has actually quite a lot of level of readings, and is connected to a lot of other theories and principles. See pic related.
>inb4 nobody will ever acknowledge all this stuff
Like tears in rain, but with cubes.
>>148492968
Interesting concepts but it's not communicated well in the marketing at all, I guess you will have to rely on word of mouth.
>>148492801

>>148493201
I want whatever it is you're having
>>148492424
Personally because I like pressing buttons/keys, lots of them, and phones are touchscreen. I ported my first game to mobile as a test though. But it wasn't worth uploading anywhere
>>148492690
Give me a second.
>>148493201
are you actually kojima in indie disguise or what? was death stranding just a cover?
>>148493331
Ragdoll? Gibs?
Whats the best point to put your game on greenlight? When you have enough for a trailer? When you have enough for a demo? When you have enough fora release?
>>148492690
I'm on it.
>>148491463
You learn the concepts, it's totally okay to forget syntax. This applies to both Unity and coding in general.
I haven't used Unity in a year so i'm having to remind myself of a lot of things to work on my game (printing to log, collisions, triggers, movement, mouselook, graphics, raycasting, scenes, pretty much everything). Google is your friend.
>>148493498
Yes, when you have no talent, you can always sell on shock value alone, right googs?
>>148493607
I love googum!
>>148493497
Having your game ready for release is the best, so you can make a trailer with all the best parts of It. Is pretty complicated to catch people attention if you only have a level completed.
>>148493497
When you're just about done and to the point where you're squashing the last round of bugs and cleaning things up.
too many people make the mistake of putting their shit on GL the second they have a demo. Not taking into account dev time vs irrelevancy with each passing day.
>>148493607
The sad part is that it probably going to suck anyway.
>>148493412
>are you actually kojima in indie disguise or what?
Cube Chan is my Raiden. You will have to wait several games for her to become truly cool. And everything will be explained by nanomachines, of course.
Hence the actual trailer "Nanomachines Rising".
>was death stranding just a cover?
I'm sure you can take my name, a few random words, and find an anagram which will explain everything.
>>148493661
Okay, googum.
>>148493941

I expect great things from this, not even being facetious, you legitimately managed to pique my interest
How can I achieve player rotation in unity with a virtual joystick?
This is what I want to achieve: https://youtu.be/WFbOcqvHK6c?t=434 and this http://hastebin.com/otuzoyohud.avrasm is my virtualjoystick script (intended for android/ios touch screens).
The virtualjoystick's movement works perfectly (just not the rotation)
Sadly I still haven't figured out what to replace if (Input.>>>Getkey(Keycode.RightArrow<<<)) with so it works with the virtualjoystick instead of the right/left/up/down arrows.

Are there any object oriented scripting languages? I want to use a scripting language so I can make changes and not have to recompile, but the idea of programming without objects terrifies me.
>>148492851
None of the games here earn revenue. Lets be realistic now.
>>148494298
why would you need one?
scripting is for behaviours, there is no sense in scripting entire objects

What are some assets you should have before you start poking around for a programmer?
>>148491149
looks good
>>148492968
It's a cool idea but less than 1% of anyone who knows your game exists is going to understand that. Also by the time you release this all of those memes are going to be ancient, which will just make it that much more cringy.
>>148493201
Yeah but I was around when you were just saying "I want to make an anime girl, people like anime girls." This is a pretty bad excuse.
The rest of your game looks cool though.
>>148495019
nothing, just make and implement as you need them.

Just spent an hour having to rework my control scheme because one little thing wasn't working right. Was kind of a cascade effect where I change one thing then another thing doesn't work, so I change that other thing and now something else doesn't work.

Make the profile helmet extend forward. Either just the chin out by 1 pixel, or jut the front of the visor by 1 pixel. Move it so the chest and the visor are not the exact same location either.
It looks stiff.
Profile boot should be flat on the ground. Rear boot is unclear, idk how to fix.
Kneepads are clear from all angles, gj.
Usually I would say too many shades of gray (lel XD) but here it works. Try cutting out one or two shades and seeing how it looks.

Yeah not sure how bad they had been with other games before, but they went full retard with tos.
And that's nothing compared to other fuck ups, some weeks ago they got into maintenance to send some items to players, as soon as the server got up it crashed and they had to go into maintenance again.

>>148493520
I suppose it's the same idea as googling for windows problems. When I look for code stuff though it's usually someone saying "Use this Code instead of what you did" and people debating on what's better, rather than just breaking down the problem.
I don't ever want to just copy paste someone Else's code, I feel like I learn nothing from doing that and the more I build upon that, the more lost I'll ultimately be when something goes wrong

absolutely not.
A game that showcases in really clever ways how rotten and destructive Islam is.
I will add a lot of juice and cute girls so it's popular.
i can't think of monsters to put in a lewd game
please help

Would Ren'py result in an actual quality product?
>>148499970
How?
Ren'py is easiest to get a PnC/VN up and working with minimal trouble.
C++/C# is best for long-term gamedev.
fuck off limey
>>148499770
It's mostly shit when you are working with someone that you barely knows and just meet to make that project.
Wouldn't it be less stress to have a team in person instead of online? It would be easier to get on their ass also if they're slacking
>>148499970

Now I finally see why people split input up into its own thing.
>>148500065
Yes. You can make a solid VN with shit all, but, that said:
Ren'Py is pretty decent if you use the out-of-the-box shit.
And if you really ever need anything more, you can just use the Python stuff, which will let you do fucking anything.
Your only hangup would be if you were wanting some high performance action game inside your fucking VN for some reason.
>>148500073
>C++/C# is best for long-term gamedev.
Indeed.
>>148499835
Its not. Thats me struggling to control it. I wanted to tried out "twin engine control" but its just terrible. Probably going to keep it simple and go with twin-stick.

I am not aiming for a VN, I am aiming for a point and click like manic mansion or something
>>148499915
Make a weird insect-thing, try to be original, don't just put tentacles in everything
>>148500438
How do you know this?
How many lines should a VN's demo have?
Just an approximate so it isn't too long or too big.
>>148498604
Just pick whatever seems easiest and works.
Yeah it's a good idea to try to break things down step by step and understanding it instead of just copypasting it. You don't have to understand everything in detail though.
The beginnings the hardest so just hang in there. You're always gonna remember something from the tutorials you're watching/reading.
I can change the tentacle to dicks if someone want
have any of the groups contacted each other yet? neither of my members have replied yet.
>>148500476
Oh. Then stay the fuck away from Ren'Py lmao.
Sorry for not reading up.
If you must use an engine, use Game Maker or Godot.
>>148500535
You should focus on quality instead.
Keep writing until you run out of ideas, trim the fat and ship it.

If he's gonna make a game in Python then he should only be studying Python.
Also C++ is not for beginners.
What do you guys think of a game in an artstyle based on 3d N64 shit? Like Majora's Mask or OOT style. I've been planning a game that's similar in gameplay to zelda games but with less combat/puzzles and more exploration, and I was gonna do that shit 2d because 3d tends to take forever. However I've got more experience in 3d, and my experience comes from modding shit from the early 2000s, and I can pump out assets in that old N64 low poly low res texture style quicker than 2d stuff. The shit I can pull off looks quite a bit like the vintage stuff, unfortunately I can't tell if that style has aged well enough to bother? A lot of people say it looks like pure shit. If I was gonna do fancy high res carefully hand painted textures and stuff and make it look good in that sense, there is no way I would be able to get the game made, so it's either this or 2d.
>>148500535
Depends really. Who you're writing for, what genre, how good of a writer you are...
>>148500790
Python is trivial.
>Also C++ is not for beginners.
love this parrot.
ladders are now in.
I'm still streaming twitch/vandiest

mixing dimensions is trashy
>>148500918
Are you using an engine?
>>148501025
Being salty is trashy.
>>148500960
The problem is I couldn't stand doing it in that terrible meme style because I would rather kill myself. I've tried that style before and after a single model I could feel the soul being sucked out of me. So I'd have to slap shitty n64 style textures on everything.
>>148500918
It is reminding me of Prinny. Prinny games didn't have ladders as far as I remember, though.
>>148500738
>>148500871
My fault, it's a slave trainer based VN meaning story events are there mostly so it isn't just a click for porn simulator, whatever choices are made on the story events will decide the ending so I also don't want to put too many of them in the first demo.
>>148500875
>love this parrot.
That's not a valid argument. C++ is hard and pointless for a beginner to learn.
>>148501094
I don't know why you think I'm salty. I should be allowed to think mixing 3D and 2D is a bad idea.
Apparently it's bad for people to think this?
>>148498448
follow the instructions on the flyer if you think that you meet the minimum requirements
>>148501167
>C++ is hard
Programming is hard, whine more.
You have to learn someday.
Whether you spend that time with stepping stones or just sit down and give it a proper try is your choice.
Is there an extra dimension of difficulty in 3D art compared to 2D art?
>>148500631
told you guys a discord channel would have been better. now it is too late
>>148501025
i'm sorry you dont like 2d/3d mix :(

You mean a monster girl or a male monster? I've got tons for you mate
Describe your dev experience in a single reaction image. I'll start.
>>148501364
Depends on what you're used to and how detailed you're going in either. Good realistic 3d can take for fucking ever hence why studios need so many people. Untextured low poly meme 3d is pretty quick though. If you can draw very well you could slap some nice art over that and it wouldn't take /that/ much longer than straight 2d I'd imagine.

Someday when you're more experienced and have proper motivation to do so. But for a beginner it can make him lose motivation which can then make him give up.
I can tell you're a shitty programmer just by your opinions.
>>148500918
One of the better games I've seen on agdg
>>148501416
I'm not shaming anyone, I'm saying "don't do that".
these kinds of opinions are important to hear before you commit to making something that no one wants to play.

I'm terrible at both. I'm fucking doomed in the graphics department.
Does anyone else with a mechanical keyboard find themselves hammering on the keys abnormally hard?
>>148501928
Then you should probably stick with 2d becasue it's easier to use style to make bad 2d still look good.
>>148501956
I can't imagine how much louder this thing would be if it wasn't rubber dome.
I love this keyboard though.

python's syntax is different from most languages, unlike C++, meaning it will be more difficult to understand the programming syntax of other languages
python is simply too easy, meaning that you rarely have to code any algorithms or do any work since the community encourages gratuitous use of import
i would also like to add that C++ just isn't as difficult as people make it out to be, and considering how many benefits you have to learning it as a first language, you would be a fool to choose something as disimilar as python
not saying python is bad, but as a first language? nope
