Best method of suicide?

>tfw broke my nephews telescope to get lenses for google cardboard
And what have you sacrificed for dev?

I hope Todd gets to make a new game soon.

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?

Creator of GTA.

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.

>bollean
boolean*

Tumor from his butt cancer.

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.

sublimely memed

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.

how mad are you that you forgot to include a todd edit?

I'll give that a shot, thanks
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.

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?

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?

Hey guys. It's me: 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

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.

If you're not doing it for free nobody's going to be interested t b h

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

no one ever fucking needs music m8.
Barely anyone here gets passed the demo-stage before dropping it for their new idea.

...

Spread legs and add a hollow where the vajayjay would be :3c

Yeah, it looks great desu, maybe define legs and arms a bit more and no, don't remove the leaves/vines

It's cool, but need some more juice, try twisting her body a little.

Dont forget to spend 2 years on Bargue studies before actually doing anything

Totally gives me a hilarious idea for an attack where she shoots bats or poisonous spores

vote for seductive leaves, got it

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

top fucking keke

Don't forget Loomis

attack mechanics work, now i need to add some hp bars so you can lose , and i need to work on score so you can win

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?

rate my spaceship

side and frontal are qt, top view looks terrible and bland

looks like a short dick w/ wings

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.

I like it.
Almost reminds me of the old 50/60s rocketships you'd see in The Twilight Zone and stuff.

>OSX
>that screen resolution
>that game

Not sure if elaborate shitposting.

I have my doubts. Check out the Jelly fish game posted on Demo Day 9. It looks incredible and it's done in unity.

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.

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?

hope you know you are the biggest nodev of them all

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

>following tutorial
>tutorial says to call a certain function
>no idea what that function is or does
>go back and check
>they never mention anything about creating this function

cool

got hp bars, and wave mechanics,

still need to work out score, game over screen, and need to make more different enemies

forgot progress

haven't I seen a game like this but with stick people

Oh man, I remember that too. That was some good shit back in the day.

yeah that's the idea

So agdg, how are yous space jam collabs going? Have you settled on an idea already?

Added temporal sounds and music.
I could push a demo about the parry mechanic now for feedback.
Here webm video with sound:

> those bullets

this user gets it

someone pls help

ok i think im done here,

you can lose, and you can also get more score,

im gonna slap together some quick enemeis and thatis' it

pay me

lol you fags are such idiots for posting your game here
did you know that other people will just steal your ideas and take credit for it?
i'm never posting my game here lol, it's too good and unique for anyone to just steal

>i'm never posting my game here lol,
you post it here every time you comment though.

>comment
is that what you call it these days

You can't steal what doesn't exist so your "game" is safe.

why do you come here at all? lol

youtube.com/watch?v=2sbHokC4Fs0

holy fuck, vinny played my shitty game

i just come here to shitpost lol

We're safe considering that there are only nodevs shitposters like you unable to make any games.

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.

other famous people on the internet have played my shit game too

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.

>322 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.

you can though

We've seen this exact post too many times.

Mine will actually happen though. Just you wait.

Wrong post? What can I (or anyone?) do?

FUCK YOU

NO
FUCK

YOU

ok now we got some enemies some more waves and it's decent, not super fun, but i had fun with it for a few minutes.

i'll get this online soon
