Boss theme just sounds like... noise.

Yeah the melody takes too long to kick in, the balancing is weird, and it doesn't feel very bosslike

well thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it a lot

Pretty good!
It’s not unity though. It’s RPG maker.

Why?

stuck on trying to figure out what engine I want to learn, /agdg on /vg/ says godot and I got a udemy course for unreal. But im pretty conflicted. I wanna make some sort of 3d hack and slash

Godot's a meme, you were played

My rpg stat and item system is coming along alright. I got basic equipping and adding stats to your stat total done but it dawned on me that I hadn't really planned where to go from here. I think expanding the item class and making a functional inventory will probably be next. Then maybe some magic item generation.

You should probably just load all of your sprites in at once. Shaders and buffers are just chunks of data that need to get sent to the GPU through PCI which is slow. You want to try to avoid doing this as much as possible so you tend to load everything in bulk and try not to touch it. I highly doubt you're going to exhaust your GPU's RAM with your sprites.

You're one of the few devs who I think is actually making out. Your game looks great, sometimes even beautiful when I see it. 3d spacegame combat is one of the few itches that rarely get scratched by big studios.

3rd person smash clone with online? Looks really cool. Netcode always seemed insurmountable to me as well- I'm impressed you made it this far. You should keep working on it and try to finish it, don't let all that work go to waste just because you can't get it online.

I'm sure this is nowhere near complete, but what is the tileset supposed to be conveying? There are a lot of different colors

It's a 2% chance of failure past 60%, and I'm 300 away from being "nearly funded", plus I've got a few youtubers covering it tomorrow and Saturday.

shit now I have to learn unity.

Thanks, will do.

Thanks for the kind words user. I'll try to finish, at least a F2P version for Steam.

I use a mac for my day job. They're great for web development.

But to play games?

There's no best way to any of this really. It just takes time and effort above all. If you want to learn programming just learn a programming language. The most important thing is stop spending time asking people about it and just doing it.

Yeah, they suck to play games on because of the poor GPU, so I always need to crank everything to min settings. I still appreciate when games have the option for when I'm away from my Windows desktop though.

Post it on reddit's /r/gaming with one of those generic sobstories, it'll get tons of upboats

Making art assets is suffering. I would be fine with everything I make looking like shit if it didn't take so much time and effort still.

I would follow a tutorial to make something simple in order to learn the basics, and then just go from there. Gamemaker has extremely good documentation and is easy to work with in general, so you should be good to go once you get the general idea of how to create a game.

I learned programming by making Newgrounds hentai games in Flash. I would recommend you just download Unity and follow whatever tutorials you can. Experiment with shit once you learn some basics. It will be hard but fun and rewarding.

I guess what I'm looking for is the starting point, what good does knowing the language do me if I don't know where to start? Assume 2d platformer, level first? Character movement? There's a lot, I'm ready to devote stupid amounts of time but there's so much I would like to block most of it out and focus on one thing, where should I start?

What kind of music?

Download the Unity example projects and add your own stuff to it.

just lookup tutorials for whatever you want to make and then if you wanna do something thats not covered in a tut you just google for relevant things like "do thing after holding button down for 3 seconds unity" and you'll find something eventually

as for coding in general theres thousands of books or online courses for every popular language

What programming language is best to learn if I want to make text games or VNs?

Yes it's worth it in effectively every way except ease of use

You need a Mac to compile onto the Mac platform. Apple has this really funny thing called XCode that wraps your unity executable in the only thing that will let Apple products use them.

Yes it's retarded. I'm so sorry

shotgun to the head you cancer

Renpy is supposed to be really simple and useful for VNs.

Literally any programming language can output text to a command line, but Twine is the most popular program for text games currently and is actually pretty good

For VNs, check out Renpy

Damn I was feeling good until I saw the Underspace kickstarter. It already has that sense of wonder and exploration I want to instill with my game, but I still have to work on EVERYTHING to make that happen.
My game also feels suddenly more smaller, because you are just a person running around and it's deliberatly low resolution.
I'm working on my vertical slice to get maybe funding, either through Kickstarter or otherwise. But I feel like I'm still missing so much, on the content side mostly.
Right now trying to get something going in Blender 2.8.

As someone doing a Kickstarter, seriously think about whether or not you want to do a Kickstarter, because before you do that Kickstarter you will spend a large amount of your waking hours preparing for that Kickstarter. And then for a month you'll be on edge constantly because of that Kickstarter that's now running.
I'm not saying don't do it but seriously consider your options, because it is a commitment.

Attached: UnderspaceGasMinerOraro2.png (1611x907, 1.21M)

Yes, I'm thinking about that, thats why I consider alternate routes like the Indie Fund. I am preparing myself for that it's gonna be a lot of work, but it also seems attractive to pretty much get already sales and some hype going maybe.
What worries me now is that my Kickstarter will probably look less impressive than yours, and I need prob more money to pay artists and a musician, as well as funding myself to work full-time.
Your game looks great btw.

Thanks.
There's always the option to seek out a publisher, and many fund up front (though the thing is they won't do much for promoting your game), but you always have to consider what you'll lose, as they'll take a percentage of your profits and give out free keys of your game as promotional stunts.

You should show what you have

I would be ok with 20% for the publisher, or 25% in the case of Indie Fund. Now that I think about it Kickstarter backers would get more percent off for their game.

Thinking about switching to complete 3D, but I prefer the 2D aesthetic, like Supergiant do their games, where it's a mix of both in a clever way.

Just picked things up again. Starting from scratch again with new ideas again. Need to rush back through learning Blender again. Need to learn to code again.

May actually make something this time.

I really should get going in Blender.

i actually played it last night and for the first time i think i was pretty interested in it. this is somewhat notable since i haven't really enjoyed the game yet, presumably because i made it myself and have thus "seen" everything already.

i might actually get a playable build out this month. the game is already playable but it's probably a little incomprehensible to anyone who isn't me, and it just needs a bit more content to feel like more than a demo

Any artfag or whatever here have any advise for creating geography for a world? Like where hills go, paths rivers take, mountains and plateaus, beaches and harbors, things like that

I need the rights first to use a dead IP from my childhood that no one played

this looks nice user

Just introduce players one aspect after another of the game. First to move, then to shoot, then items, basic tactics etc
And the biggest important thing is to sit test players (with no prior knowledge) in front of the game and see what they do.

It might be just easier to make a spiritual successor/"homage" and make a new IP.
I kinda want to do this with Ecco the Dolphin at some point.

I was more thinking the way a river will flow through areas with softer soil and just end up all wibbly wobbly before it hits the ocean, I didn't want the path to be arbitrarily drawn

I honestly don't know if its possible either since, the original company has been dead aince 2004 which is why im looking into it.

Is it possible to make 2d porn games on unity? Really want to get some juri han or chunli Jessie from Pokémon action going

It might be in some obscure ownership of some insurance company or something. This was actually the problem with System Shock.
Maybe you get the IP for a dollar or so, but the hardest part might be to do the research.

Just look at real life photos and maps of rivers.

Or straight up copy the photos.
I can't imagine there would be many people that say 'holy fuck, this is the Gaoping River in Taiwan'

Dont start a kickstarter expecting to get 100% of your funding from the site alone incase you had that impression.
Majority of your funding will come from the audience you build up long before that. So make sure you're showing your work and getting people excited.
There are loads of tips on how to make a good kickstarter.
I read someone from kickstarter say they don't promote projects that have those 'funded in 30 minutes' stickers on them.

Hey fucker. I make music of all types. Hit me up.

[email protected]

I'll increase my pledge at the last moment if you're short. I'm sure I'm not the only one. This nigga dumb.

Well that really depends. Non-shooter combat is a lot of testing and sort-of faking it, mostly with giving player swords and such, things that have some range and swing, to make up for the lack of precision you get with fast-moving short-range combat, there's also the disconnect between what player expects to hit and what the developer actually hitdetects, so you'll get these insane arguments on games like Chivalry, just because you feel like you should be doing damage in a particular way.

I suggest starting out with finding the active range that feels right, the ratio between the distance to the enemy where you think you're in range and the animation/hitdetection perceived range.

I've found that having the hit go a bit farther doesn't cause any disconnects, and other games also do it, and if all else fails, just add the same sweeping hitdetects as regular sword combat.

Then the other big problem is that the closer the thing you trying to hit the more you have to turn and react, as opposed to FPS, where the target is some ways away, and you usually keep it in crosshair way easier, so findign a way to aleviate that would also help add smoothness to the action.

i'm also not a big fan of touching the camera rotation (especially roll) unless player specifically made an input for that (see mirrors edge or breakdown, rolling there never caused anyone to throw-up), but a camera shake in first person goes a long way.

Generally make the player more aware of the surroundings via HUD or sound, since having short-range first-person combat brings this sort of claustrophobia that makes you jerk your mouse around in a non-fun way.

This is kinda what i've gathered from my research, hope it helps.

Powerups are busted shit that kids come up with like being on base, having an invincible shield if your fingers are crossed, telling on you to the teacher to get you put in timeout, stuff like that.

I imagine it having a similar vibe to gotham city imposters

Reminder that your game is irrelevant if the underlying codebase is trash that doesn't comply with the ISO C++ Core Guidelines and isn't architected extensively with the appropriate game development paradigms and patterns used where appropriate. Good warning signs of this are people who don't enjoy programming, call programming coding like some sort of ingrate or heavily focus on hipster onions trash like "art" and "music" instead of logic.

the coding you need for making your own game is the most basic shit immaginable plebbit. Too bad your concept of programming makes you just a man for hire with no creative potential whatsoever. enjoy the rest of your boring life jumping between one meaningles it job to another where nobody will ever respect you.

stay mad

I'm thinking you have never programmed a game. It's card houses held together by glue.
Programming an engine is a whole other matter and requires more care.
And I use "paradigms and patterns used where appropriate".

Continue telling yourself you're better than the plebs on this shithole who would rather shitpost than post his vidya

>call programming coding like some sort of ingrate

this. i personally also detest people who call the creamy beverages served at mcdonalds "shakes" instead of partially gelatinated non-dairy gum-based beverages. you don't even shake them so how could they be "shakes"

This guy gets it
You won't even be able to buy my game until you send me a link to your personally curated meme page so I can judge whether you are worthy enough to play my masterpiece

>so you'll get these insane arguments on games like Chivalry, just because you feel like you should be doing damage in a particular way.
I totally get what you mean. First person melee in particular has this weirdness about it. I need to try out making the attacks go further than the actual model reaches. Overall interesting insight. I will try to apply this on my current project. Thank you.

You do you. I'm gonna be over here not giving a fuck about my coding and making bank from actually selling a game that's fun to play.

screwed up the link

I think they look neat. It's gonna be low res textures on low poly. I had some (shitty) textures already, but will try to make new ones exclusively using these colours.

i think you can generally program a game using programming guidelines and stuff, but what you end up with is a well-designed program, not a good game. if you want any kind of special feature that breaks your existing ruleset, like make your character jump in a different way when the in-game moon is full, then you either have to constantly rewrite and bloat your codebase with new frameworks for the features you'll use once or twice, or you take the faster and simpler route and spaghettify your code a bit with unique exception cases. i can't really see a better way around it.

Can't you just convert the image into your selected pallette?

if(attack == 'yes'){
health = health - damage;
}

You could write extremely modular code so that you can easily implement those new features but it's a lot of work and planning ahead and often it's hard to plan so far ahead when making a game. You'll end up either rewriting a lot of your code or those spaghetti solutions.

[code]
if(attack){
health -= damage;
}
[/code]
Made it better for ya

Why are you reducing your own health when you attack?

That's why I'm not a programmer.

>1200fps
might wanna fix that, if a game has uncapped framerate and puts my GPU to 100% load immediately after launch I just uninstall it

>If a game has an uncapped framerate, which is great, I just uninstall it instead of turning on vsync

Typical intelligence of a Yea Forums user.

I wanna make smooth jazz.

Just tried now to convert an old texture into the palette with gimp, but it just scrambled it. Maybe Asperite can do it better. I think it will require a little bit more work, but I need to make new ones kinda anyway.

this is what I kinda wanna go for for the look, with more lighting effects

I’m not creative enough

I wanna make smooth jizz haha

Just pre made assets it won’t look original but at least you made a game

so i would describe it as PS1 low poly with SNES textures, if that makes sense

You got to find some poor suckers with coding skills but easily manipulated to work for you

turns out when you make everything yourself it takes fucking forever
who wouldve thought

I’m having trouble getting people interested, I’m in a chicken and egg situation. I desperately need funds to improve the graphics and flesh out the levels more so it looks more appealing, but nobody seems interested because it doesn’t look appealing

Like some japanese artist they rip other classic music just do it subtle

This example just
a) reminds me more of void bastards than any PS1 or NES game
b) seems completely redundant, since the pixelated textures are not used in any meaningful way, and can be easily replaced with a smooth vector-like texture a-la Void Bastards.

Why is moving along the rail so jittery?

Sounds horrible

I want to make a superior Minecraft clone, but I don't know where to start. I don't even know which coding language to study.

That example is too high poly for the pixellated textures to work

>procedural rails
That is exactly something I wanted to make.

In no way is having a game run at 1000+ FPS "great". Before you even chime in with a comment about responsiveness, remember that vsync fucks that.

Capped framerates that you can set are infinitely better.

i capped it 300 fps some time ago. i had it running at unchecked framerate to check if the technique i was doing to render fog was affecting the framerate at all

Day job always in the way this year. Every time I have some free time, something bad happens and eats my time/energy. Fuck, I should just switch my phone off. Already deleted all my social media years ago.

And that's why you'll never make a superior minecraft clone.

If I can get away with making it even less poly, I'm glad.

A comic look like Void Bastards was definately something I considered, but I had a pixelated look in my mind from the beginning and think with some additional effects the low res can look very unique. What do you mean with meaningful btw?

Because I’m an amateur lol. This webm and that one are from an older build, here’s a video of a newer one

This style could be nice but it desperately needs some shading and and 3d shadows.

I’m open to collaboration, I’ve been doing this all solo so far

Started out in GameMaker like a week ago. Done a lot of work on player movement and it's been really easy and fun so far, but I can't figure out how to make a dialogue system and menus, and tutorials are either not what I want or not helpful at all. Ah well, at least I actually began working on my own game.

Vagrant Story used the the limited triangle budget to use UV space in such a way that worked ideally with unfiltered low-res textures. It allowed sharpness and detail, despite tiny sizes and it looks good even today.

Your example does not do that, clever use of pixelated textures, would've been to unwrap the diagonal edges and vertical edges as one line, so one line of pixels would follow the silhouette and keep the sharpness.

Metal Gear Solid 2 did this perfectly, all of their Big Shell assets look crisp without texture filtering despite the resolution.

this is the only one that looks mildly interesting in this whole thread.

Here's unfiltered MGS2, i managed to find only tanker in a quick snatch, but looking at Big Shell and the textures for the environments, it's an ingenious work.

All shading and shadows in texture only sorry

Thanks these are great examples. I wanted to take Vagrant Story already as an inspiration how to do this.
>Your example does not do that, clever use of pixelated textures, would've been to unwrap the diagonal edges and vertical edges as one line, so one line of pixels would follow the silhouette and keep the sharpness.

I feel like I'm a brainlet as an artist to apply this or fully understand correctly (yet).

To be fair, i've only seen japanese devs use it properly, and even when you get the idea how to do it, lining up the uvs for pixel perfect stuff is also a gigantic pain in the ass, maybe there's a tool for that, but i've never seen it.

Learn how to code through game maker, cause you are not gonna find many drag & drop tutorials. GML is not that hard to learn and once you do, its a lot easier learning other languages

You gave me an idea, now that I played around a bit. I could make simple vector like textures in higher resolution, and then give the option to play in low resolution (which already exists) to get that retro feel. Only thing is that I have to make sure everything looks good in both "modes", but it also might draw people in that might get turned off by low res retro.

Know that feel. I can art but not code.

>literally doing a ultra high res sculpt for everything
Not a sculpt, just a high poly. Pretty sure that's the general pipeline for everything now. You make a midpoly, then LP and HP out of it. HP doesn't have any additional detail, it's just smooth. Then you bake HP on LP. The end result is your LP has smoother edges and can almost pass for HP. Problem is you waste a ton of time to get that small effect and I think I can get away with not having it. Can I though?

user you're the one who doesn't understand what the point of baking is. It's not there for adding normal map detail, it's just there to give your LP a smoother look. It can have additional detail, sure, but even without it modern studios would still bake everything except for buildings. At least that was my experience

If the pipeline is easy enough to go back to later to do the baking, I wouldn't treat it as a high priority

Prototyped few mechanics examples for keks and learning over the years. None of them got any traction unfortunatly :( Have this idea of using any one individual moba "skill" as the focus of the whole game.

I honestly can't recommend it to an indie or a hobbyist gamedev. It's fine if you're using it as a studio because you can afford to have someone whose job is to mostly fix stuff in the source of the engine as they come up throughout the development. If you're working alone or in a small team you'll most likely have to wait for months and months for bugfixes or do shitty workarounds for them.

You sound like you're an artist. Try it out.

Level design is more complicated than I thought.
