/agdg/ - Amateur Game Development General

I want this question answered so I'm just gonna link here too if you don't mind.

How could an amateur use over 1gb of memory? Just what did you do?

You make the same fucking post every day.

Fun game m8.
Underrated

its progress! :)

just look at it! its great and a cool engine, huh? :)

Should my computer be struggling for a few seconds to start a youtube video if the only other thing I have open is gamemaker?

pewpewpew
>tfw missed demoday

You say that, too. Every day.

Game: Sim Loli
Tools: C++
Progress: Made lolis associate concepts together and then used that to figure out their opinions on things
Progress: Added in costs/properties to placeable objects in the dungeon

What would be the best engine for a Cave Story-esque platformer?

Whenever I have the Unreal UI Editor open or I'm constantly running the game to see if things are working I run out of memory really really fast. Not entirely sure what is causing it but in regards to the former it is most likely my fault.

Having a blank project opened with a blank UI widget opened in the editor does not cause my memory usage to go up. Opening the UI widget I'm working on in that same blank project causes the memory usage to slowly creep up.

So something I did in the UI is fucking up. Anyways it's my shitty solution to Unreal using 4GB of ram after like 3-4 hours.

As for my game itself, when running a standalone window doesn't use up more than 400K when using it or leaving it idle overnight.

cave story was coded in assembly

What does that even mean

UE4 is sounding worse and worse by the day. Glad I use Unity. :^)

just like make demo

>hmm my game is a memory leaking little shit

>instead of fixing it, im just gonna buy 24gb of ram and have an entire SSD dedicated to virtual memory

better delete this, he's going to have a meltdown over these results

Game: Wizardry Love Letter
Dev: HTS
Tools: Unreal Engine
Web: Soon
Progress:
+EVEN MORE PLACEHOLDERS
+Combat mostly(ier) done
+Each character attacks separately now
+Can select which enemy to attack, the crosshair knows where the enemy sprite is
+UI turns green to signify that you selected an action for that character
+The defend action now works
+Health bars reflect damage done
+Attacks have a chance to miss/be dodged
+Resolution logic mostly done to set all the UI back into place minus moving active portrait back and updating active health bar to reflect damage done.

Been sick all week so I made a lot of excuses not to work on my project.

literally who

>That guy is having memory leak issue that is completely his fault
>What a shit engine
???

Like I said, it's a shit solution, still trying to figure out what is causing it and I at least narrowed it down to that specific UI widget. I've messed around with the profiling tool but I don't really understand how to use it yet.

I did need more ram though so this was just more of just the straw that broke the camel's back.

>Virtual memory
coincidence, I actually have never increased my virtual memory and I'm pretty sure it wasn't that high. I think there's an automated setting that is just setting my virtual memory to double my physical memory. It may have also increased possibly due to how often I have been hitting 99% this week.

>strawpoll.me/10172876
rotate's got rich parents and seems to have a lot of fun in life

hey /agdg/, i'd like to be creative together but am not much of a programmer

i can do your games music free of charge, here's a demo:

hit me up friends

Awesome, can't wait to play.

>literally who
>literally who
>literally who

Pretty good m8. Not my game's style but I'm sure you'll find someone

Is it made in C++ ? Pretty good for an engine dev.

I look forward to when the animation will be completed, and maybe the MC will get a cute when when attacking, looks promising.

Some problems I had with the demo was that the shroom enemies have a *lot* of HP compared to the others, and 7 out of 10 times, they deal 70% of damage, not sure why. Is there a guard button?

I want to be a qt so I choose Rotatedev

what atmosphere are you going for with your game? i have tons of stuff lying around

just played it. top quality stuff . so for criticisms was bit thrown off by enemies making the same attack sounds as the player. this will be steam hit for sure. finish it mate.

Spooky Silent Hill/Resident Evil-esq.

unity or game maker. pick whichever easiest for you

Stop trying to hide, potatofam tranny. This poll will expose you, just like every other one has!

im not a programmer, but if lets say i want music for my showreel/animation, would u try?
i want something engaging, but not too crazy

>not even mothdan picked himself

do i get to bring myself into the new person?
because i mean i would never want to have a rotate addict brain but would be nice
if i pick me do i get to be double me?

i'm all ear, what kind of animation are you making?

>come to /agdg/ to make games
>don't keep up with the local e-drama
>"YOU ARE A POTATO TRANNY"

I have until midnight to make my demo, will i make it

Thanks for playing user, still have a lot of work to do for the animations.
>Some problems I had with the demo was that the shroom enemies have a *lot* of HP compared to the others, and 7 out of 10 times, they deal 70% of damage, not sure why. Is there a guard button?
The HP was a mistake, I was too busy panicking about uploading that I forgot to bring their health down. They have around 300HP right now, normal attacks do 10 damage for reference.

The damage they do is intentional though I'll reduce it a bit.
I want enemies in this game to keep you on guard, even simple ones.
The challenge I want to make is surviving through all the levels without using continues but there are save spots and easier difficulties planned

>Is there a guard button?
There's no guarding but you can dodge/dash, V on keyboard is the default key. Most attacks can be dash cancelled during the animation or on hit so you use that. Dashing his i-frames.

Thanks for playing, I'm far from done finding sound effects so that'll change in the future.

Yes.

Are you saying you're not? Stop trying to hide. We all know it's you.

Do you want us to post the image set again? Everyone will get to see you for who you are. Again. And Again. Forever.

Until the cops finally get you, at least. :)

am off to bed, ill be back later this week, if you want contact meanwhile my e-mail is linked to the youtube channel the demo was posted to

what agdg looks like without the drama. install filters.

>make game in unity on one machine
>load project in newer version of unity on other machine
>camera size is fucked in every way
>cameras on levels start changing for no reason while i'm not looking at them
>mfw this game engine is a fucking trickster god

thank fuck i'm redoing this entire game over the next week

well shit if i get to be double me that means i'd be a double wizard.

I tried dashing, but I expected it to work in other way (pass through the enemy when dashing in its direction).
I guess it's fine this way too.

I still don't even know who mothdan is and I've been here for years

to present my art, just rotating models and such
if you are not interested its okay

same.
pretty sure he's not a real person, just a meme rotate or circumcisionposter came up with.

I 'almost' know who mothdan is and I've been here 2 months
step it up senpai

upboated

>(pass through the enemy when dashing in its direction).
It used to work that way before. I thought it would be too easy that way but I might change it back depending on the feedback I get.

It's a shame you missed the rotates vs. mothdan arc because it was the best filler anime I've seen

got rekt by the mushrooms twice and then i gave up

the game has tons of potential tough

People don't know mothdan = danny
kek (you) must be NEW here haha

Does it matter(performance/load times) how many vertexes/faces my player model has?
The player character I am working on has already 2000 vertexes even though it's like half finished. According to google, game characters usually have like 5k-7k vertexes so I guess it's all good for now but I am new to 3D modeling and I really don't want to pick up any bad habits

no I definetly am

no social pressure here, i just feel that i want to collaborate with artists across different mediums

if you're interested contact me at [email protected]

>2000 models
>indie game

ARE YOU LITERALLY A WHITE FUCKING MOTHDAN?

cavestory.org/fan-works/custom-engines.php

Maybe I overdid them
Did you try dashing? They become easy if you hit them then dash away

hes the one posting all the source images and LLC shit

he went insane (probably literally) a couple months back because people were bullying his bad advice and bad game

Adult swim is picking up my game for over 400K, ive finally made it. Being here is like being back at the tadpole pond and im thankful for each and every one of you. Is there anything I can do to give back?

where's your game?

What's a platformer with a well stylized character? My art is shit so I need to steal some skeletons.

>400k

Nice job, nigga!

>Is there anything I can do to give back?

Make more games.

Trying not to shill

It's all a matter of target hardware, but no, 2000 is not a lot, especially if it's a player character who is always close up and only appears once.

Anyone who says modern game character have 7k are stuck in 2007, iirc Paragon targets 80k per character (with proper LoD models of course)

100% depends on whats your target minimum requirements

How do I into 3D?

??? clyp.it/iauqrpws

There were a lot of ps2 games with 7k characters. (Silent Hill) I don't know where that number came from b/c the high quality games of last gen were around 25k. (Like Nathan Drake)

L O B B Y

>come here and brag anonymously then
what's the point? You came here to thank us or to be a coy fucker who wants attention. post your game, details, etc,. or get out or share useful information on game dev.

polygon budget don't matter that much
lightning and texture size are more important

There, it's done.

Finding no sane-person-type solution, went ahead and created 3 versions of the firing animation to use for the various aim poses.

It STILL doesn't strictly work 100% of the time, since when the gun is twisted sideways (for example, when doing a diving shot) the recoil is still world-space-up, but that doesn't look as bad as the roll-wiggle recoil did so I'm not gonna bother fixing it now.

Holding out hope that UE4 eventually supplies proper bone-space additive animation options, of course, since I shouldn't have HAD to duplicate the animation rotated 90 degrees just to make this work, but I'm nothing if not willing to put up with ass-backwards workarounds to achieve simple things.

>1 vote for mothdan

ahahaha

It's just a meme, not the first time someone has impersonated that dev

lol ok danny, i made it obvious why im here from the start. to ask how to give back (but now im wondering why id want to)

Nicely memed, user.

thats it im leaving and never coming back

whats there to discuss about singletons and UML though

>mothdan isnt real u guyze

nigga was easily the most obnoxious poster ever seen, and this is just the stuff he had his trip on for

he also had several meltdowns and constantly insists that people he doesnt like are gonna get arrested by the fbi, lmao

post the youtube

>meltdown

Did you even read what I had posted, My poll is for future content to help creators...

Nothing I just do a little write up on how they are done. I started off with the easy stuff.

Pretend to buy us pizza, asking for paypal account and then never doing it.

haha im not that mean, what's your paypal? (ill spend up to 100$ in pizza (or furry porn))

easily explicable
>agdg meta
its not like its legally binding and whoever makes the op is gonna do whatever they want regardless of this poll, so no one cares
>gamedev content
it's not "gamedev", it's tutorials, and it's tutorials no one asked for and can be found elsewhere. and as above, (you) should make a tutorial series in the sequence that is either easiest for you as a producer of content, or most sensible as an expert making a series -- the opinion of incompetents who don't even know what questions to ask would just make the series worse, and voters know this
