Might as well, everyone already forgot about DD8 already

Reposting from last thread.

Maybe I should have drawn with the pencil tool from the beginning. Pixel art is waaaaay faster to refill with different colors. I'm using pencil for color fills but I did my lineart with the paintbrush tool, now I have to Image > Adjustments > Hue Saturation > (make adjustments), every single time I want to change the color of the lineart. But with the coloring it's just paintbucket once to make a change.

Is there a faster way to change my lineart to one color if it has anti-aliasing/blur? I'm just doing it by eye right now.

>not microwaving your rice in a bowl of water and then forgetting about it and then having the sticky foam spill out into the microwave plate and making a mess everywhere and then you gotta wash the plate, but since the rice is not fully cooked you gotta remicrowave it with more water and then repeat the process until fully cooked.
Step it up famicoms, it's clear you guys aren't true NEETs yet.

I was reading up on how to do mouse interaction in Unreal's HUD class, and one of the developers says "you should really use our Slate UI library, the HUD isn't meant for this".

Well, maybe you should make Slate not suck giant donkey balls and we wouldn't have to.

>"good enough"
>not "good"
ugh lol

Saying "good enough" has the flavor of being shit but you can't be assed to put in any more effort.

Oh cool, another pedophile OP.

I'm making a comfy truck game!

What would you like to see in it? I'll add it tomorrow

...

First for waifu games!

>a comfy truck game!
Like what?
Totally Not Truck Simulator™
or something that actually has gameplay?

this truck looks nicer 'n nicer.

passenger's head bobbing up and down in the driver's seat

sylphynford has gone through puberty

Cool I love candy motivationals that do more harm than good.

Hello, General Friends!!

I come from /ink/ as their ambassador! Maybe you saw the spam, we are sorry and were hoping to do things more civilized now. We like to draw pictures of NSFW animals fucking eachother with tenticles. I believe this should be allowed on Veeky Forums.

If you want to come voice your opinion, or just to r8 our art m8- visit us We hope to hear from you!

Truck Simulator™ is for faggots
real man play Eighteen wheels of steel

those triangels make it look like the body is made out of marble

Yeah and we want code tags.

this is what we get when we have waifujams

>animating a snake sprite in platformer view
Fuck

Who is the anime girl in the OP, and why is she used so often?

I have like six thread starter pictures I cycle.
Feel free to make an OP image I can add to it.

I like when little niches in Veeky Forums interact with eachother. I admit it without shame. All the christmas card giving? Cute and cozy as hell, I don't care.

But you seem like cancer, and I can't even tell what your shit's about but it's not interesting, I hope your general fails.

OP is literally a pedophile.

He doesn't care that the OP images are unrelated to gamedev or AGDG in any way.

But since pedophilia is his life, he feels he must spread it to others.

I'm about to start making a lewd game.
Might just make an H action platformer unless anyone has a better idea that isn't too long to make.
Also which is better, female or male MC?
I know you lewd ideaguys are lurking

you're doing something like this pic? I usually have a separate layer in black, pink, or green pencil/pixel

I am also giving games that ask a full review/feed back post. I would do all the game jam ones but there are a ton and I intend on giving as much feed back as possible. I will have a game jam post but that will highlight as a summary. So please, if you want a lengthy post, link me what you have!

>Might just make an H action platformer
Please make it where the real reward isn't losing.
That's the fault of too many of those, and the metric fuck ton of two-button jap ones.

>repeatedly posts anime OPs
>no reason
it's no wonder the only reasonable ops removed the waifujam link

>double major in electrical and electronic engineering
>get a 300k starter job
>hire some starving artists and programmers for pennies
does this sound like a good plan?

female MC whose power is enticing people with her butt. Then they start making out wth her butt, and it puts them under a spell and they fight for her. But too much and they go berserk or unpredictably crazy. She can only manage a small team this way, as the effects aren't permanent and need to be rejuvenated. Also they become physically addicted and wither and die without it.

consider the amount of artwork and quality of it that you can make. then make a game based off that.

VN if you can write, you can get away with still images
Sprite platformer with sprite sex if you can do that.

make the lewd stuff part of the gameplay, not an afterthought. if you're going to make a platformer, don't give your main character a fucking gun make her squirt milk bullets out of her tits or something

>does this sound like a good plan?
Not really considering you'll be too busy/tired to manage anyone.
What you could do is just save up a shit ton of money and retire early.

>EE
>300k
ha ha ha. at least we expect math majors to be delusional, engineers shouldn't be

If you can art I could code the whole thing. for free

>electrical and electronic engineering

an arena type game would be best

>he doesn't recognize the Veeky Forums maymay
newfag

Please ignore and report. Spammer is trying to get ink banned because he's butt hurt

Is this in your cycle?

Like what kind of game?

Why don't we send diplomats to other parts of Veeky Forums?

not the same engineering sempai.

/v/ and /g/ know about us.
/mu/ and /ic/ couldn't be fucked.
And Veeky Forums would laugh at us.

glad we solved that.

>Fuck off shill

>go through older code
>notice some weird bandaid fix in one of the update calls
>if (player.y.position add 2 to player.y
>delete it
>now every couple of jumps my character gets stuck in the ground
>wat

Has anyone an idea why this doesn't work?

god eater games are the best reference

RIP

>downAcce1

Should probably just redo your whole movement.

presumably a rounding error when the character collides with the ground

That's just sad man. Can you at least save her?

Doesn't work because of poor design, try redoing that section

George is gonna have a hard life isn't he?

Where does the H part tie in? That looks like a lot of work compared to platformer

>make the porn part of the gameplay, making devving harder

good thing you're not a dev

Ive got some other shit done but recently got distracted by making shaders, took me forever to figure it out but looks cool I think.

>I want to combine H and
>okay make sure you actually make though and not just H in a setting
>WHAT NO THAT'S TOO MUCH WORK

I know you're a different person but kill yourself.

who even knows? Maybe the next Notch is lurking Veeky Forums right now, totally unaware of the heights he could achieve with aggydaggy

I hope your game actually has depth and lore.
Otherwise I'm going to steal your gimmick and make it myself.

what could i use to import or display live results to a sql query in-game

>the next idea guy who steals a game idea, half-asses it, gets some other guy to do the work, then sells it and shitposts on twitter all day, is jerking off to men on Veeky Forums
He can stay there.

>you evaluate your life by numbers on the internet

I can't write for shit so the art will have to sell it.

I can code myself, sorry senpai

I forgot about that problem, I could make the gameplay harder so losing isn't done on purpose but then that might be too much effort for a fap. I'm ditching the platformer idea

the GUI

I don't care what you say, I'm going to spread the good word of /agdg/.

Things are looking good aggydaggy. I'm building my rpg battle system right now and so far so good. Keep working hard on your games anons I believe in you.

Lewd games are a whole other type of game themselves.
They basically reverse the rules and what you can/can't do. All while making us much more forgiving for any other lackluster elements. And even then, shitty art can get by as long as its the slightest bit cohesive.

I think Akabur is probably the closest.
Someone just needs to polish up his mechanics and add more content.

I also think Breeding Season has something great, but god damn somebody just needs to steal their idea and finish what they refuse to do.

>source
haha yeah totally a legit engine and not a nodev meme haha :)

look at this gr8 progress i made with it haha:)

>lore

Eww desu.
Plenty of depth though, I couldnt stop working on mechanics last stretch. I keep coming up with more interesting ones that fit well and adding them in to vary gameplay.

>Eww desu.
Why?
You could do exactly what Dark Souls does and people would eat it up.

Plus I like lore, and a world like that would be a travesty without a history of life.

WHY WOULD YOu POST THIS

>tfw no musicslave to tutor me
I'll never 1MA at this rate.

>what they refuse to do.
You would too if you were getting 34000 to do nothing.
It went up 10000 since last year and they still haven't gotten much done.

>Make New Memes Again 2016.
Build a wall and make the shitposters pay for it.

Out of curiosity I checked on it, and from 7.3 to 7.3.1 they added a whole new shiny intro scene for the MCs and your M/F chooser.

Gonna see if they fixed anything though.

But not really, I'd be petrified all those people and money would just disappear, but I guess I just keep getting proved wrong.

For those of you that have a Unity3D game with jumping, how do you deal with the character "sticking" to the walls?
Do you fix it using a fricitonless physics material on the walls, or ray casting the collider? What are the pros and cons of both?

>slave
I'll help you from here user.
What are you stuck with?

What kind of music do you want to make user?

...

Post concept art - receive model

well, I got the hitbox detection working
and I have the logic for moving inventory pieces

now I just have to connect the mouse events to call the model function

I can make "decent" patterns. I can add backing and an acceptable drum beat. But I'm not sure how to expand on them. All my songs/experiments are very very short because I suck at structuring and filling out a song.
I really love Kirby music. Whimsical soundtracks like those are what I'm aiming for.

...

I know lots of people like deep lore and all but I dont want any story, just gameplay. Driven by visuals, sound, and lots of different mechanics and even some genre-switches at some points.

>metroid
i meant, YOUR concept art

>still a drug addict
>still a right-wing terrorist
>still a shitposter
Wow, reek, some things never change, huh?

i am metroid

Alrighty I'll look into it.

Explain

Lore =\= story
You can tell a story without obnoxious cut-scenes you know.
But fair enough, look forward to more progress m8.

Don't 1MA. It's perfectly fine to pay someone for music. It's the best resource to outsource, since it's fairly self-contained (compared to graphics. which often needs tweaking, integration with the programming and requires WAY more individual pieces vs music).

...

Can we just ban source already? Not from Veeky Forums, but just in general. Can we boycott valve or something? This shouldn't be allowed!

1 home/base
no level design
basic ai
basic enemy placements
no key item bull

it's a 1MA wet dream

also see mitsurugi kamui hakae

Nice!

What the fuck is this trash?

It's not really about paying. I just want to express myself fully with the project. I don't want someone elses dirty ideas in it.

In case the person who replied isn't the same.

This isn't okay.

cant bro. too lewd
