And what have you sacrificed for dev?
I hope Todd gets to make a new game soon.
>>148615564
Make a game
I'm trying to make the player unable to change their direction in mid air, but I can't think of an efficient way to do this, any ideas? Using gm by the way
some code progress for better sounds.
I think I have found the simplest way to maintain audio files that doesn't result in bugs.
stop audio at the start so that repetitive sounds don't overlap and cause issues with music. Made my own global to control mute because game makers mute function is kinda bad.
who's the guy behind john?
>>148615769
Creator of GTA.
>>148615625
Have an int dx to represent your player's direction and switch it to 1 or -1 depending on what direction they're moving in on the ground. Have a bollean isGrounded and only change dx if isGrounded is true.
>>148615878

>>148615625
Not sure how this is going to apply, but I hope you have a good reason for limiting this sort of control.
I downloaded Unity because I want to make a fightan gaem to learn how to make a better fightan gaem.
I have two major roadblocks though.
How should I handle how characters flip to face each other? I was thinking of having an object that compares the x values on the transform for the two characters, and flip the sprites if p1 is on the right and p2 is in the left. Is there a different/better way I should do this?
How should I handle inputs for special moves? Like how you do down, down-forward, forward and lunch to throw a fireball as Ryu.
>>148615608
sublimely memed
>>148615769
Boy an I glad you asked.
Unsurprisingly, he's a great dev.
You should know him already.
Frankly, he's one of the greatest.
And his games are superb.
Luckily, he's still working in the industry.
Like any other great individual, he deserves all the fame he has.
Of course, he doesn't make games alone.
Undoubtedly, th team he works with is also deserving of praise.
Truth be told though, it's thanks to him that the games are so good.
4 all of you who still don't recognize him that man's name is Todd Howard, you better remember him now.

>trying to do a fighting game as a beginner
wew lad
just don't.
save it for your fourth or fifth completed game.
>>148616168
how mad are you that you forgot to include a todd edit?
>>148615878
I'll give that a shot, thanks
>>148616040
I'd like to incorporate a walljump at some point, using the opposite directional key, and I feel like my programming skill is way too low to give the player slight influence, I can only do full movement or none.
>>148616183
Sure? I mean, I plan on making a silly platformer or something to get the basics down, but damn if I can't stop thinking about how I want to make a fun fighting game.
Guys... Medieval Fallout Shelter
Free released 3D cute girl where?
>>148616383
We all do.
But it's a tedious fucking genre to do.
Just flesh out all your oc and why your fightan' will be better or add something of worth to all the other fightans' out there.
Or if you really want to, keep it as a side-project and just slowly iterate/improve it while you take breaks from your main projects.
what's the best friend simulator?
>>148615397
Hey guys. It's me: >>148583360 Time to shill this thread before that other music guy shills here.
As a message to the other friend: Sorry bro, don't take it personal. Sometimes, it's just the gesture that matters, you know what I mean?
Anyway, will do music for 5$ a song. Let me know if anyone is interested. My work once again:

These posts are getting out of hand
>>148616383
Tbh, most of the tedium seems like it comes from balancing and tweaking. But once the system is in place, wouldn't it be easier to develop from there?Especially since I'm not exactly doing anything really new, it's more of a love letter to another game.
>>148616742

wtf m8 are you taking this seriously or not?
Working on a Dryad boss fight for clarent, is this lewd enough of a pose for you guys?
I can't decide if a censorship leaf/vines are a good idea or not
>>148616742
no one ever fucking needs music m8.
Barely anyone here gets passed the demo-stage before dropping it for their new idea.
>>148616168
>>148616945
Spread legs and add a hollow where the vajayjay would be :3c
>>148616945
Yeah, it looks great desu, maybe define legs and arms a bit more and no, don't remove the leaves/vines

>>148617107
I'll be sure to make it more provocative when animating her. Glad you guys like it so far!

Why do you keep posting your meme game?

Why do you keep not posting your game?
Is unity overkill for 2D games or should I make the switch?

>>148618447

Yes it is, but more than that, its a pain, having to constantly fight against the fact it was made for 3D, thinking of hacky workarounds over things.
>>148618447

Not sure if elaborate shitposting.
>>148618250
I have my doubts. Check out the Jelly fish game posted on Demo Day 9. It looks incredible and it's done in unity.
>>148618678
Hmm what do you think about libgdx or godot? I really don't want to be tied to a company like unity or yo-yo if possible.
>>148616945
Looks great man, but shouldn't you make her head hair/vines a bit larger/longer/messier? especially on the sides, she's supposed to give off a "wild" impression right?
>>148617439

censorship is pointless in this scenario. Just don't draw the genitals at all like you have there and it works.

We're safe considering that there are only nodevs shitposters like you unable to make any games.
>>148622047
Eh even if we were all yesdevs, everyone has their own thing they want to do.
And also even if you were 1:1 copying ideas you sporadically saw in the thread... You'd still end up with a massively different game.
>>148622017
other famous people on the internet have played my shit game too
>>148615397
I just looked at the soundcloud for the first time because I was thinking of learning music and starting my own account and joining and holy shit there are a lot of members.

Do we even get that many unique posters?
I'm going to be the most successful game dev out of all of you.
Screencap this post, I'll be back once I've made millions of dollars off my game.

>>148623486
GM:S is solid. Successful devs that started with GM continue to use it, which is the best recomendation for it
>>148623486
GM/Godot for small or simple projects.
LibGDX if you're fine with taking longer but having better performance/organizational control.
>>148623528

>>148623551
I really like how you and desertdev make lazy pixelshit artstyle look great.
>>148623497
It's not for programming.
>>148623486
GM is a good engine that has proven itself with many successes, but if you're more interested in the programming aspect of gamedev I'd recommend libgdx, monogame or even LOVE. Godot is fairly new and I've heard good things about it, but I don't have enough experience with it to feel confident in making a recommendation.
>>148623552
>>148623554
>>148623728
Alright thanks it seems like GM:S is the way to go. I would like to learn how to program so I might mess around with lib, I might be too dumb though idk.
>>148623785
GM won't teach you to program.
GM will teach you to hack together code to make a game.
If your goal is to program & make a game. Study a language and then pick a library.
If you just want to make a game, go GM.

Ok got a rudimentary fire sword+fire attack going on. The longer you hold down the attack button, the bigger your fire attack will be, up to a maximum of 5 seconds. The particles look like shit but its just placeholders for now. Sorry for the slowdown I have a million tabs open

>>148624956
>>148624956
>>148624250
You might want to give some more visual cues for when the attack is being charged, like holding the sword in a different position, or making it blink red, or having some particles spin around/into the sword.
>>148625148
I do what I want with my game, retard. If you want to have those, then make your own game. Don't mess with mine.

>>148625148
Yeah I plan on having a charge up attack animation, I just haven't done it yet. Right now it's just the flame on the sword getting bigger. Adding additional particles spinning around as it grows sounds nice though, I'll write that in my to-do list.

looks like everyone is busy making progesswhich is good
New terrain. It look a bit weird to me. What do you think?
>>148632634
I think it's the texture but I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I'm going to post anyway.
Got some great ideas for a game but it takes a shit load of coding before I can test out the implementation.
Been programming weekends here and there but making little progress. I work as a programmer so just feel worn out coming come after programming for 8 hours and never feel like making progress.
Got about 6 months of living expense in cash and 3 years if I cash out of my equities when they're at all time high now.
Looks like it might be time to bite the bullet and quit my job to dev full time. If I don't succeed before I run out of money I'll just kill myself.

My gaming experience tells me if I fall into any of those holes I won't be able to get out

Looks like improperly set perlin noise with a sand texture on it
>>148632634
Way too rugged, sand is a lot smoother.
>>148632634
I think your polygons are too large for the detail you are trying to show in the terrain.
Still looks nice tho.

What's the best way to make vector animations nowadays?
Drawing in Illustrator + animating frame by frame in Photoshop?
Drawing in Illustrator, animating in After Effects and then exporting as .gif?
>>148632950
>exporting as .gif
do not ever use gif in games, it's too shit to use.
If you're doing frame by frame animation you'll want to export animation sheets or export the animation frames as separate files.
If you want to do bone animation you'll probably want to do that in-engine because most engines have built in ways to handle 2D bone animation and it will be smoother than frames.
