40 to 60 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 350 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 50 games a day, 1500 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2021HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY
>>325638153>only positive reviews please
>>325638314My publisher ensured me I'm going to get on the front page of Steam and already has 3 big streamers line up to play my game :)I agree though, trying to do it alone is dumb.
I'm sorry but I've just gotta say itI seriously love this hobby!
>>325636942Anon I hope when you see a company like oreos doing pro lgbt stuff that you don't think they do it sincerly, they do it because a they know a lot of people like that stuff an they know they can cash in on it.Seriously if your game dosen't have some kind of pro (minority/lgbt/women/furry (no i'm not kidding)) slant to it then you really are just pissing away potentnial free advertisement.

i guess if i was trying to sell it i might make spatula cowboy about a spatula who fights crime in the old west but nah.
>>325638314thisI love my gamedev H O B B Y but if you take any of the known moderate "success stories" and divide by number of years and people on the team, it is not a livelihood -- It's a HOBBY.
What job do you or will you have, to support your Gamedev HOBBY?
>>325639210programming. I read these pathetic reddit posts about how people in software jobs complain about being too burned out by the end of the day to work on their games and I just can't relate because I love this H O B B Y
>>325639084Is it still a hobby if I make 600k$ each year?

Can someone explain to a retard what are helper classes and/or methods in C# and their use ?
>>325639818helper classes are just ways to put functionality in a central point without adding a bunch of bloat to another class, like I have a Flocking class because I don't want to bloat my AI classes
>>325639818compact code into 1 line for neatness and ease and reuse.
progress on >>325634529down to 71 possible fonts for my game
>>325640067>>325640092I'm having trouble understanding something in some code I'm reading.There's this helper class with its static methods thare is declared in the file of this interface.The interface is IMeleeFighter and the helper class is MeleeFighterHelper. What I don't understand is that one the helper static methods is called from an implementation of the IMeleeFighter interface. How does that happen?
>>325640109>Add a traps to your game>and you will LITERALLY destroy western civilizaitonlmao okay
>>325639772it's going to feel so good to hold off for awhile and then finally give in
>>325640378probably like this:MeleeFighterHelper.MethodName()
>>325638678By that logic companies should also be publishing extremely racist ads in order to get the racist crowd which vastly outnumbers trannies.
just tried something and it didnt work, im giving up
>>325640707I don't understand people giving up on such a cool hobbylike, aren't you having fun my man? If not, maybe this isn't the hobby for you?
>>325640603That's retarded, given that there is far more anti-racist sentiment than there is anti-trans sentiment.Aiming for racists loses you 9/10 customers while aiming for LGBT loses 1/10
>>325640109who are you quoting?
>>325638314Terrible math. You have no real quantification on the level of effort given by devs who have tried to make a game.The amount of devs who want to make a commercial game but are entirely unserious about it is immense. You're too stupid to be giving advice and using mathematical models for results.
Why does procrastination happen? I'm way too comfy browsing 4ch and occasionally playing some games to do anything else
>>325640868Anon I hope when you see a company like oreos doing pro white supremacy stuff that you don't think they do it sincerly, they do it because a they know a lot of people like that stuff an they know they can cash in on it.
>>325640769It's fun to think about ideas/problems and then come up with solutions to implement/solve them, but then things don't work and I get immensely frustrated by not understanding *why* they don't work. I always end up feeling like I'm just legitimately too retarded for coding and game-related math.
oh shit i got an idea.
>>325640891lmao nice copeHow about this, even if 80% of games are garbage, that's still .2 * 1500 = 300 games a month who are by definition not-garbage, including your "serious commercial game"Enjoy your hobby
>>325639509the secret is crushing tickets in the first 2-3 hours of your day then spend the rest of your day gamedevving.dont forgot to make your work commits throughout the day so the timestamp doesnt give you away, and wham, you get paid to just like make game
>>325640927Your IQ is too low to understand the grand scale of the universe and it's fleeting nature of time, that every moment you waste is gone forever.
>>325640927>Why does procrastination happen?Because you can't fail if you never try.
>>325640950well yeah lmao what that meant to be an own?Its a fucking buisness, nike will do a pro black lives matter campaign while using child labour, it appeals toliberals that want to feel good without going through the pain of actual advocacy, and that why i'm removing gender from my character selection screen
>>325640378Interfaces are contracts, IMeleeFighter tells that anyone who uses it will be forced to implement certain functions. Good example is the Math class, you can use Math.sin() without having to instantiate a Math object.Having interfaces for static helper classes is kinda weird not gonna lie
>>325641031steam has 120 million active players, that's 400,000 people who could potentially find your game. the only reason they don't is because you suck at marketing and your game is shit.
>hmm let's see, I could buy some rando amateur game, or spend a little more on a switch/AAA title with assured qualityYeah guess which one I'm going for every time.H O B B YOBBY
>>325641261>Little more for a fucking switchooo lala looks like we have a city boy in the thread
>>325641261my game is better than every AAA title combined, looks better than them and has actual good mechanicsfeels good man
>>325641332What, is it progressive to buy a single unit of quality? and, let's say, "rural", to buy a ton of 1.99 shit games?
>>325641261people buy whatever is continuously marketed to themso just spend a lot of effort and money in marketing
>>325638314This
>>325641516Its incredibly expensive to buy a console like the switch and then to buy a 60 dollar game on top of that, you saying "spend a little more", implies that this cost means nothing to you.A true country bumpkin pirates his games and only occasionally buys to support certain devs
>>325642034>implying country downsies can keep their sister's dick out of their mouth long enough to learn how to computer
>>325642034gaming is one of the cheapest hobbies, people don't buy more games due to lack of money, but due to lack of time
>>325642151I resent thatShe's my cousin
>>325641261>buy $60 AAA game>spend a week downloading the 900GB file and 100GB day one patch>create account for game so I can log into the single player story>get kicked out constantly>buy $10 indie game>it downloads in 5 minutes>it just works
>>325640580Unlike most here, I actually. have someone to fuck. Just trying to curb this nasty habit.

Anybody here ever worked with NLG before? I can make the context-free grammar myself and will obviously be writing plenty myself, but I don't want to go through and label half a dictionary's worth of words. Are there any broad, free for commercial use, labeled data sets out there that associate things like mood and general usage (for example "like synonym") with terms?
>>325638314
>>325642869Why did you force someone to kill himself?
it's ok guysI just talked to godhe said the first try is just a tutorialyou get another attempt
>>325640950That isn't an argument. I never said that they would do it sincerely, just that it was moronic to think that they would do it at all, given that aiming for racists would lose them money.Can you not read?
>>325633775Find images of Bannerlord when they had the bug where they doubled everyone in size
>>325642981Why did you force your game to nodev itself?
>>325633775ABNOMAL-043
>>325638314If any of that was true then there wouldn't be so much efforts in these threads to get us to stop game deving. You're not fooling me, fiend.
>>325643158
>>325643148promoting trannies loses them money, if you want to maximize your profits you avoid politics entirely
>>325643265I have already released a game, I'm working on my next successful title.
>>325633775https://b-ok.cc/book/5578774/3ab27e
>>325640583>>325641193Check pic related. The ApplyDamage method is called from an implementation of the vIMeleeFighter interface and not from the vIMeleeFighterHelper class. That's what I don't get
>>325643369Given that games have become more politicized over time while profits continually increased I'm going to go ahead and let you know you're a retard.
>>325643158>>325643341>>325643279'Scuse me lads I have some more reference research to do
>>325634659Just follow the advice my uncle once gave me. If it feels good just let it happen.

How do you actually transfer an idea or knowledge into something concrete in an engine? Like I understand how A* works, but I have no idea how to visualize a grid with points that hold information. I'm pretty codelet but I feel like A* isn't THAT big of a leap into difficult projects. The problem with looking stuff up is that it feels like I did nothing myself and learned nothing.
>>325643443>>325643672if you don't understand that functions can call other functions maybe you need to step back and learn programming before getting into gamedev
>>325643719>gotta make some excuse when someone provides evidence and I have none for my own sidewhoa
>>325643672it's called an extension method:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/extension-methods
Which is worse?>someone did your exact game idea and it sucks, by extension showing that your idea sucks>someone did your exact game idea and it's awesome, meaning that you can't do it anymore without being considered derivative
>>325643797class Tilemap{tile[,] tiles;Tile DoAStar(all that hueristic shit) { do A*, return result; }}
>>325643797just learn the basics of code.a grid is an array.
>>325643797Try to split the problem into smaller problems. Don't lookup how to implement A*, or how to draw a grid. Look up how to draw a line. Then figure out, using that information, how to draw a grid. Then implement A* and display it on the grid.
>>325643797normally you start with a class that holds the data you want:class Node { int x; int y;}and then a class that keeps the data in a structure:class NodeGrid { Node[,] Nodes; int width; int height; }
>>325643768i don wanna
>>325644048it's not an extension method, the static method is being passed a gameobject and it's getting the component that implements the interface and calling the interface function
>>325644097The worse option is to care about that shit at all instead of just making game.
>>325644241the "(this GameObject reciever..." makes it an extension method, anon. With that syntax it is called differently from normal static methods:gameObject.ApplyDamage(damage...)
>>325644010by your logic WoW should be at its highest subscriber count ever since they went full SJW, and yet they're hemorrhaging numbers and it's almost catastrophic if you subtract the classic-only players

https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1614096596422.webm
>>325644631wow is hemorrhaging because they (ion hazzikostas) fucked the game. it's a boring capeshit action game with a 3rd person camera.
>>325638314I just quit my job without much savings to make my dream game (think hollow knight + pokemon)How true is this?I don't feel so good bros
>>325644631They're hemorrhaging numbers because their subscription model and gameplay are exceedingly dated.I know you know that already.
>>325644680maybe talk over it and give some information
>>325641261A good indie game is quick to pick up and has great value from the start, even if it drops off quickly.An AAA game can get boring or repetitive too. Or you might not even be interested in it from the start. There are a finite number of good games.
>>325645138That's for the next one

>>325645836p2w mmos follow the shovelware model, they make huge claims they never even planned to deliver on but a small group of addicts throw money at it anyways, then they shut down a year later and recycle all the code and assets into a basically identical p2w mmo with a different name, repeating the cycle indefinitelyliterally just milking whales, not even gamedev
>he thinks his game can compete with masterpeieces that come out every day like thishttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1521110/Black_Baby/
>>325644671What's the code from? It's retarded to extend GameObject to be able to call ApplyDamage from it. Really shouldn't take it as an exemple of good code.

I got the snowclone to have physics that 'make sense' while being fully walkable and grapple-able. It drops you when the angle between you and the part you're standing on goes past a certain slope.

I know some shit about your heroes that you wouldn't believeI think we're all a bunch of weirdos on a quest to belongThe games are echolocation up in impregnable fogThat's why it's odd to see a pile of imperfections and flawsAscend a pedestal to patronize the rest of the cogsAnd a mess of obnoxious fantasy, posturing and pageantryI ain't even mad, I'm impressed, shit it's baffling.

>>325649768++i is more semantically clear. It means "increment i" and generally implies that i is the counter in a loop. If ++i doesn't instantly scream "increment i" to you, then it just means you aren't a programmer... but you don't write your code to be read by non-programmers, do you?
Yea this is gonna be a bad thread.
>>325649908>>WoW is failingYour only example has been refuted. WoW is a failure because it is an ancient game that can't (or won't) modernize.Every AAA studio making games caters to the LGBT crowd because it makes money.

>>325650358Thanks m8, I'm keeping the efficiency increase in mind, the warehouse in this video is also the smallest sized one I plan to have available.I think I settled on an overall layout for the game taking place in a single industrial park, with the player having the chance to spend time walking around the entire area. They can then take a look in the windows of the other available warehouses and see how big they are from the outside

Are there any good resources on designing a quest system? I already have different typed of objectives set up(kill thing/go to location/collect item). So now each "Quest" should be a tree with multiple objectives that need to be executed in order, correct? I'm also thinking about laying out quest unlocking in a tree structure as well, that way if a quest is failed(because you kill an NPC or something) it unlocks some other quest instead

Did you lose your job to COVID and this is your last hope?I test software, boring shitty corporate bland software that I hate with workmates that I can't stand, but at least I can work at home now because of lockdown and I'm getting a bit more done on my game as no commute time.I manage only 1-3 hours a night if I'm lucky and maybe up to 10 hours over the weekend if I have nothing else to do.I'm hoping I can quit if my game is a success.

>>325652034there are many ways to design them. one way is:Quest :: { List<Conditions>, Either<Quest, Reward> }so a quest is a list of conditions to be met and either the reward, or the next part of the quest
>>325652251I don't even get up to those hours but I'm working to increasing. Good job anon, you're going to make it
>>325651596looks okay, I like the fact that they prevent you from accidentally forgetting to end a branch.https://github.com/inkle/ink/blob/master/Documentation/WritingWithInk.mdMy only problem is writing DSLs like this, that try to abstract state and variables away, get pretty unwieldy for big projects, as well as noisy and impossible to refactor.I think i'd still prefer a visual node system, where you can better visualize and plot your story.
>>325651181Find a small company warehouse to work in and just hang out with a bunch of bros listening to your headphones all day
>>325652494i have no game, its currently in production.
>>325652034network repair is a hard problem that I'd suggest you avoid attempting at all cost. In an indie game I would generally suggest that you have a single main quest line of well-crafted quests that immediately follow into one another combined with optional side quests at each stage. A complex quest structure gets into a very deep hole of graph theory and exponentially exploding content requirements very quickly. Quality > Quantity > Complexity

It's all so overwhelming, I guess i'll try and keep it simple then.
>>325653454>screech demanding ron show them his gameYou realize ron admitted he stole videos from dead games and was never a dev, right? Making a webm doesn't take that long.If you can't show your game you are a nodev.

it's been 15 years since the release of Oblivion—how much of the Radiant AI rumors turned out to be true? I'd love to hear legit retrospectives on how it was designed and why they ended up scrapping it.
>>325653502wait I misread >>325652960why do you need the base value if you have the effect? Like a player with a +2 str buff that goes from 3 to 5, why do you need the 3?
>>325649964parse and replace with correct plurals from a dictionary
>>325653681>I'm honestly just losing my mind trying to design around every single possible quest structure, and thinking about how complicated that would beeven AAA games mostly just do A -> B -> C -> D with side quests. Unless you are explicitly trying to design a new piece of technology to handle quests in a novel way, there's no real reason to do anything else. All you would be doing is costing yourself more time and effort for replayability that nobody is ever going to experience because your game will never come out.
>>325654051What if I have more than one deer?
>>325654127>and why they ended up scrapping it.they haven't, it was in skyrim and fallout 4

gentlemen, scholars,this is it. this is my final day to develop my demo. tonight or early tomorrow I will build and send to some close friends for some basic QA testing, and hopefully Wednesday I will figure out Butler and upload my demo to Itch.are you ready? is anyone hyped?

>>325658840Do you have a clip?
>>325658840Coomer in space already exists.
>>325656650that's literally what I suggested, though. In fact I think you're doing more harm by saying the vague "simple list of requirements" or allowing quests to be failed at all. Quests should directly, concretely lead to exactly one new quest or be self-contained with no concrete relationships to other quests. Branching questlines are a stupid meme and the feeling of branching can be accomplished without the quest structure itself actually branching.

>>325659345>Branching questlines are a stupid memelmao, zoomers are so easy to spot
>>325660185the whole concept of "requirements" is not trivial to model from a software perspective. Quests should be gated by physical locality or other quests in a quest line. Once you start getting into "has X number of Y items in inventory" and "has Z relationship status with W npc" and evaluating these conditions every single time anything needs to be evaluated because they cascade or retroactively get invalidated and need to unravel, you're just wasting your time when it's much easier to achieve the same thing with a slightly more limited approach.>>325660338what?

>>325661374>if you want all your quests to be early 2000s MMO tier then go ahead lmao???You're actively advocating for less complexity though
>>325661470less complexity in modeling means more complexity in authorship ie content ie what the player is actually playing for
>>325661548those aren't mutually exclusive.
>>325655508idk, a nolan movie with pixel art sounds pretty good
>>325661636they are when you have limited time in the day
>>325661374 I have a grand strategy game with over a thousand events that all have constraints on if they can fire or not, it's the exact same as a quest system, requirements are not hard to script if you're not a brainlet
>>325633374some meshes have their raycast collision functionality break on different platforms (mobile). I tested this extensively, some meshes randomly fail to get detected on platforms that arent the editor
>>325649970>tfw because spend all my time making the game, can't write dialogue to an equal levelAn inspiration you are.
>>325661802having no stat/item barriers to quests is really shitty though. also I think you're reaching a false-conclusion based on a naive in-head implementation.

>>325662743you pick a resolution that scales into 16:9, like 480x270 and then scale your view by even integers to match the player's resolution, then decide if you want black borders or more view
>>325662743depends on the style you're going for.
>>325662945Yes, and i hope its good.
Personal pro-tip which will greatly reduce procrastination for some of you:Download Toggl Track and set it to automatically start tracking time once it detects your IDE being open. You'll get an email every week to show you how much work you've put in.I like it because when I'm done eventually, I'll be able to look back and see exactly how long it took me to finish the game.
>>325663181thanks dude. I feel like an idiot trying to hype you guys up since a lot of the stuff on here is forgettable, but this isn't. it's fantastic. see you guys tomorrow.

>>325668978Is it something you imported?
if you are playing a platformer with ARROWS and Z. what keybind should be used for sprinting?
>>325669073that makes sense but then functions like giveGold would need to know the source, right? because say a perk is more gold from quests or from containers but not both>>325669110I don't think that works for the more outlandish perks, like say every third rocket spawns a homing missile or encounters "are more wacky"
>>325669352>platformer with ARROWS and Zwhy?
>>325668804What I do is this:>loot.gold = randomgold() + character.bonus_goldThis way when the player gets the perk, all the perk does is add +5 to the "bonus_gold" player variable. And anything can add or subtract from that "bonus_gold" variable, like enchanted equipment, or potion effects.
>>325669147it would align with the rest of the soul in your game
>>325669478what should the keybinds be be then?
>>325669352shift
>>325669426You could still centralise the toggling of those outlandish behaviours inside the trait structure, and let each weapon ignore or use the value as needed.
>>325669352What does Z do in this case?
>>325669580wasd, j for action, k for jump
>>325669110>>325668804>>325669073I would have a single function to get the gold and a collection of modifiers that would be applied to it when it is retrieved.I would make the order of the modifiers modifiable. (Stuff like multiplicative modifiers first)Or you can just do it all in one function and check each perk one by one, if it's just a few perks.
>>325669352S for sprinting of course
>>325669352I would uninstall, leave a negative review and request a refund for not letting me use a gamepad
>>325669580asd, space/w for jumpq/e for action, shift for sprint.
Pixel Art practice progress. Top left to bottom right is order of creation. Once I have 100 fellas done i'm gonna start making my own palettes instead of using the training wheels palette.
>>325669426>because say a perk is more gold from quests or from containers but not bothWell it depends on how you do things but you could either allow event/triggers to giveGold, thus passing the source of the gold to giveGold. Or make a Gold object/struct that can hold that information, so you can apply perk modifiers correctly and pass a gold object to giveGoldThere's plenty of other ways too.

>>325671325Kind of makes me think people should just go on the steam store, look for badly rated games, remake the game without those bad things and just bank it. If you really think about it, games usually only fail because the dev sucks and left the game instead of properly learning how to program.
>>325632641you know he's successful when crabs can't cope with him
>>325671325Doing something very similar to what other person is currently doing feels embarrassing.But you're right in that it has probably been done before, I just need to find and see some older similar game to get rid of that feeling.
>>325667078I want to make a game that would sell well, so platformers and other simple games won't do...
I really should have done this first, because it's basically a debugging tool. I got the snowclone to indicate where the collision body is generated. I can use it to refine the physics a bit more.
>>325672306I'm liking this a lot
>>325672298a capital motivation will never get you through gamedev, anon. Also you're wrong. Simple games make plenty of money, just on phones. If you want to make money you shouldn't be making a PC game anyway.
>>325672298>so platformers and other simple games won't do...is it time for me to post a bunch of platformers that sold well in the past 5 years and you perform gold star mental gymnastics for why they don't count?
>>325672547Not really into mobile gamedev...

>>325672298If you're looking to make money, indie gamedev is NOT how you do it.
>>325672731then you're also not into money, so just make the game you want to make
>>325672736That's reasonable, I could pack them into the wheel itself and just draw them with it. Or even just make some snow.>>325672519Thanks, I just used it to check if his flutter should get reset (by color-coding the dot for different cases). when in doubt, visualize.
How often are the demo days held? When would 38 be held?
>>325673008If anything, the indie game dev market is super hot and has huge potential. It's impressive there aren't just fake studios pretending to be indie and taking up all the money.
There's nothing wrong with competition. It is okay to see other devs as your competition and it is okay to want to defeat them. ^_^

But if you want to take the risks, go right ahead, just understand that if you really do decide to salesslave instead of wageslave, there are other fields where the risk-reward odds are a lot better than in indie gamedev.
>>325673945How bad is it compared to Unity or Unreal?
>>325674225>there are other fields where the risk-reward odds are a lot better than in indie gamedev.Care to enlighten me what those are, please?
>>325674031I'm more upset i forgot about Axiom Verge, which is getting a sequel too.
>>325670448It looks really good anon, keep it up.
>>325674120It sucks mad cocks but if a pixelshit platformer can still make it in 2019 than the genre isn't as dead as people claim.Same with Hades/Noita and roguelites.Same with Omori and Yume Nikki clones.
>>325671614Country folk have a different set of values mostly to city dwelling degens
>>325674693Yes one of production rather than consumption. Also the sky is blue
>>325674543celeste sold on twitter rage bait thanks to the invincibility/easy mode debacle among other things.supergiant have a pretty decent fanbase, haven't tried the game though.noita is actually one i'd agree with platforming being completely second-class to the spell crafting.omori is just another earthbound clone for supposed earthbound fans.but yeah, the point is, pretty much anything is viable, even 2d gravity games.
>>325673709Those are quite well done,
been making an enemy that will move if the player doesn't see it, done by checking camera cull and raycasts.Currently have an issue where the the raycast seem to shift a tiny bit every time it gets spotted leading to a scenario where it will inch fowards for a couple of seconds going in and out of the chase state.I think it's because i'm using tweens for my rotation and i should just have a snap. How common is it for other people to get stuck on an issue, write it up as a question and then workout what the problem likely is?

>>325676097Oh I'm sorry you can't even comprehend the point that's being made. Carry on with your fingerpainting
>>325675768your perception of what is or is not hard will never reflect reality until you actually start making a game. Movement is easy. Having everything move at the same time is actually easier than having your game enforce rules about who can move when and under what conditions. AI is exactly as hard as you want to make it. What's really hard is building a good piece of software, properly allocating your developer time, making intentional decisions about what you game should be, and staying focused on the main product you are trying to produce. Very few actually hard things are genre or artstyle specific.

>>325674376Multi-level marketing scams and trading scams. Anything that involves actually creating a product (like indie gamedev) is a high risk because you will invest a lot of time into actually making a product that is not guaranteed to sell. Taking an already existing product and selling it is much lower risk.Even if you are absolutely set on creating a product to sell, there are other alternative products that require much, much lower initial time investments than gamedev, like writing a book or drawing pictures or composing music.

>>325689403>Like if you use code to change the platform's positioni mean probably exactly the same thing, because all AnimatonPlayer does is changes platform's transom in the world using curves. you literally key frame the translation value using it.>>325689554how?is it the velocity += get_floor_velocity() * delta because i don't do that in mine.

>>325690208Ni
>>325690378>is it the velocity += get_floor_velocity() * delta because i don't do that in mine.lmao it's probably this, lots of physics processes should be multiplied by delta to prevent any weird glitches with lost frames and the like
>>325690576> should be multiplied by deltano, i mean i get that part. i multiply by delta as well because "physics".but you also seem to use get_floor_velocity and add it to your velocity variable. also you use move_and_slide_with_snap which i haven't come across yet. is that why? is it the snapping + get_floor_velocity combo?https://pastebin.com/8KKYN2b2
>>325690135I'm using blueprints and I haven't run into any performance issues for my game. I guess it depends on what you're trying to make.
>>325632540i kneel yesdevs
>typewriter textno
>>325690378>>325691163It doesn't have to do with using an animation player, I'm using an animation player set to physics mode to move the platforms in my example.It's a combination of using "move_and_slide_with_snap" as well as "get_floor_velocity". The move and snap function helps keep the player on the platforms, and adding the velocity of the floor will allow the player to move with the platform, no matter what direction it's moving.
>>325692058What's wrong with that? I think it looks better to simulate talking in a pure text game. Of course, my game also lets the player show all text immediately with a button press, or set it so it always shows immediately.

Not exactly /adgd/ since its modding but fuck youDQXIS can have both TAA and Dynamic Resolution on PC through ini edits, but the resolution changes cause really bad artifacting/ghosting with TAA enabled (pic related). This was also the case on switch when enabling TAA (dynamic res is on by default). Is there any way to mitigate this effect? I imagine the Temporal AA upsampling feature would work perfectly, but it seems the version of the engine the game uses doesn't have that (4.18)

>>325690135If there's anything that seems like it'll be visually annoying to pull off in blueprints, you'd probably be better off writing it in c++ and then using that node in the blueprint editorOtherwise it's usually ok, although there are some features of the engine that are only exposed to c++Look into nativization if you want that extra boost in performance from blueprints

>>325695731Yeah weight painting can be annoying. A tip that helped me: Most of the time a vertex should only be affected by a single bone, not multiple bones. This will help stop joints from collapsing when they move.Oh and here's a nice little gif on joints.
>>325697235Not that guy, but thanks. I've never had an image explain so clearly, although I know it only explains for a simple joint. I've heard elbows are the worst alongside shoulders.

>>325698163Unless it's a first-class element, as in it directly ties into the game itself or its story, then it's kind of dumb and just an inaccurate alias for "Part/Act".
>>325698163I'd find it charming, but it's probably not a very wide-reaching nostalgia touchpoint. Games as a whole were still pretty niche back then, and RPGs even more niche,
>>325700308>>325698163You might be thinking too hard about it, it doesn't need to be as deep as tying into a meta story if it's just a term you use and there's a few other similar nods

Just spent my day slogging through 20 yr old C code just to get some pixelshit audio playing.
Dungeons are now about 30% implemented in To Ash and Ember.You can roam hallways, have encounters, run into traps/loot/barriers/puzzles and enter/exit rooms. It presently only supports noneuclidean-type dungeons (read: you go to a new room each time you enter one) but once I get the Crawling interface in you'll be able to select where you're going just like Darkest Dungeon.This may be just playable enough to ship as an update for DemoDay. I'm considering it.

I want to let my life revolve around game development. What YouTube channels should I be subscribed too? These will be the only media I will consume until my game is done. I have GDC already.

I am working on a simple 2D game engine with OpenGL. (Its learning experience) Though what really slows me down is thinking of names for new classes.What is a good name for class the reads in tile map data from a file?
>>325703798>I need to know the reason that running with your hands back behind you helps makes you go faster.it doesn't. My understanding is ninjas only run with their hands backwards if they've got sharp tools in their hands like claws, shuriken, kunai, short swords, daggers, etc, so in case they trip, they don't stab themselves. It could be all bullshit, though, so take it with a grain of salt, but I guess it kinda made sense to me.

Anyone care to share some ideas with a dev noob? I'm trying to plan out hit detection and damage for a MMBN clone. I have a basic targeting system set-up (purple tile in pic) that takes the currently targeted tiles (variable stored in the player pawn) and uses a for loop to compare the target tile IDs to all the tiles in the battle grid, finds the ones that match, then flips a boolean contained in that tile (isHighlighted). Would a viable way to register hits be, on the event of the player firing off an attack, I loop through the array of tiles, find the ones that are currently being highlighted/targeted, check a IsOccupied? boolean, then if so, call a damage function on the occupying actor?
>dev has a forum where he replies to every question every day>his progress with the game is painfully slowdaily reminder to never talk to your players
>>325717834I don't really care about his success; I have nothing to show for myself either. It's just that upon seeing that image, I watched one random video and it was entirely without substance, even going so far as to betray its own point. He talks about "implication mechanics", gives his own game as an example, and then immediately admits that he didn't even do any "implication mechanics" analysis or design, but that he just contrived this shit as a retrofitted justification for the design decisions he had already made completely intuitively.What a complete waste of time.
>>325718510If I wanted advice on weightloss, the last person I'd ask is someone who is obese.
>>325718264Actually now I can simply rotate the camera to check if my perspective is wrong and can make a rigged character and pose it to check proportions.:)

Thief does this weird thing where it seems to allow you to interact with an object as long as it's visible on screen. My solution to this was checking if the object was recently rendered and checking the distance. The problem with this solution is that it makes it so you can interact with objects through transparent surfaces like a window.Any ideas? Raytracing is out because I want the player to be able to interact even if a single corner/edge is visible.
>>325718878make the window an object, put it at the front of the check, and break it.
man why can't unreal engine handle creating a new folder inside the c++ folder? or are you supposed to just put them all in the main directory?
>>325719164Anything C++ has to be done through visual studio. You don't wanna fuck with it or you're heading to compile error headache city.
>>325718661Yeah, I get that, it's just that some people are good at relaying concrete information even if they can't apply said information in a productive way. Like, I don't need someone to have made a great RTS when seeking out information on RTS-specific pathfinding, for example. They just need to know their shit in this particular area.When it comes to overall game design or tips on how to stay motivated/finish a game, you're probably right, though.
>>325718878>Raytracing is out because I want the player to be able to interact even if a single corner/edge is visible.why not just do edge detection + raycasting?

>>325718878>it makes it so you can interact with objects through transparent surfaces like a window.Name a single game with this feature. You've just created something new.
>>325719624indie devs really need to understand that traditional games worked for a reason. As in, releasing a 1.0 and then doing post-content. Outside of a number of genres (mainly MP, and pure sandbox stuff like minecraft, people really hate drip-feed content in a barely-finished game. That's why early access is such a mixed bag of mostly failures.
