Daily reminder to keep practicing.

working collision (or at least partially) and partially working gravity (which already was like that really, but now it matters)
I'm pretty sure I was OCD enough with my floor builder that all I need to do to really make it modular is use it differently

ES DIFICIL DE CREER

CREO QUE NO NUNCA LO PODRE SABER...
SOLO ASI

SHO TE VERE..

it definitely looks interesting, and I like the music. But I think the voice over either is speaking too deeply. or whatever voice filters you put on him were a bit much. What type of gameplay are you aiming for? I am assuming more horror/mystery type.

im using Source!

EL ATEO....

Anyone else miss source in these dark days of gay seagull tumblr porn and anime porn?

good lad

Voice is too deep, speaks too fast, perhaps because the dialogue is too long. Makes it near impossible to understand. Needs subtitles.

I'm more okay with gay seagull porn then source posting. It get's old really quick, at least the birds bring something new to spice up the thread.

You're welcome m8.
Although it doesn't reflect it right now, we can be half-decent sometimes. So feel free to post progress.

I will let the first boy who replies to my post have vaginal sex with me!

...

...

no thanks

I got HIV from having too much vaginal sex with girls

I just like birds too much to be upset with how the thread is turning out.

>threads going to shit
>Actually feel the urge to dev instead

meh good and bad i guess

>mfw people talk shit about my tools
just because you yourself are bad at literally everything doesn't mean my choice of engine is wrong

stop
please

danny is already terrified of triangles, do you want him to be terrified of birds too?

i wish i could clone myself and have the other me do art and the myself do code, going back and forth between them mind fucks me

It doesn't mind fuck me that much. I'm more mind fucked with going back and forth between art+code and music. The music I make after an art period is abysmal. But if I don't draw/code and just make music for a while I suddenly remember all the secrets. Maybe it's just a coincidence.

>being scared of birds
literally the only thing to be scared of is parasites and diseases and even New York pigeons have been proven to carry few if any zoonotic diseases and only parasites that don't know how to not die when they aren't nestled in down

Shitposters will always shitpost, they only ruin the thread if you decide they ruin the thread. So don't give in to their posts, just yesdev and post progress!

remember when he said he wasn't a furry

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!

actually its the opposite, a few dedicated shitposters can flood very easily and onlookers will believe that it is the normal conduct of the thread

voice is too deep

clyp.it/sjwnoi25

none of this is useful

To you maybe and there will be more content coming. Takes awhile to create stuff, plus there is possible review/feed back discussion. If you wish for something useful to you, just ask!

>Wordpress.com
???

Is it possible to implement birds in Source? What about LFOs? Can it be found on the Asset Store?

If anyone thinks that then they probably have never used Veeky Forums or any other anonymous website before.
Normal yesdevs know better than that, and know that there are only a few shitposters that are easily filtered.

I had a site actually but I'm too lazy to pay money for it. Is there something better than word press I could use?

Okay; How does one figure out the fastest line to complete a turn on a racing track that involves the car doing a full 360 plus the difference in its necessary bearings for entering and exiting the turn over the course of the turn?

You're just hosting static content? Github.

Ehhh, in /agdg/'s darkest hours, a few people would wander in just to say "Wow, this general is genuinely worse than anything else I've ever seen."

I believe that they were genuine because, honestly, /agdg/ is the worst general on the board right now, and it's better than it was a few months ago.

"squee squee terrorist piggie", etc

I shall take a look, I also have docs save on my computer of everything and saved to a server

This seems like something a child would post, I'm not one to reply to stupid posts like this but cmon user.

Not really. Wordpress is fine. Of all the memes to not believe, having to use github/pastebin for literally all text ever is DEFINITELY the meme to resist.

But that's a pathfinding challenge. With necessarily known statistics of the automobiles of the game, how is best to make them do sweet drifts and trick maneuvers in a game based around these concepts? Need For Speed is real

I have to disagree with you. /agdg/ is one of the more comfy generals, there are other generals that are plenty worse.
I do agree that /agdg/ has gotten better over the past few months though.

>Setting up a nice gh-pages site with a slick username.github.io url is a meme
>using wordpress for a few articles isn't
user I strong disagree.

If you are serious, then maybe I could add some posts on vector math and math in general. As that problem you posted if not troll, is just math.

how do i install source sdk

Too many polygons.

now begone mit your memes

/agdg/s problem is that we have a few genuinely mentally ill people here. So your opinion of /agdg/ probably depends entirely on if you live in the same time zone as them.

Which engine would a Metroidvania (action platformer) game be best suited to being made in, and what language or languages would I need to learn to use said engine?

Do you have a problem with my dick branches?!?
Yeah, I know it's over complicated. I wanted to build something that looked spruce-y.
It'll get rebuilt before it's used anyway.

i am not serious
but to realpost for a minnit i dont understand this guide or why I would read it. As someone who has touched code before but isn't a coder, I feel like it's referring to concepts way above my level with language that is way beneath mine. the words are there, but the meaning is not -- I can discern what a singleton is, and that things should refer directly to it, and multiples of it should not exist, but beyond that I'm lost on what you're trying to tell me to do or how I should do it.

I thought you meant hosting it as raw plaintext. i didnt know before actually going to user's guides that github allowed actually nice pages that aren't just profiles and links to your work (that is then in raw plaintext)

you should use the best engine available for the language you're most comfortable with

if you don't know the answer, then you have a lot of work to do before you tackle a project like that

Gamemaker is most common for 2D games. It uses its own language, GML.

The consistency really is remarkable. I'm not trying to be mean or start shit when I say that I think they must be extremely lonely. I think this kind of effort has to come from a sense of "I'm entertaining my friends", and that is a really grim thought.

Yeah, Source truly is a tool of the mentally ill. I don't know what motivates Certain People to use it, but they have to be destroyed.

When you are designing your code on paper or in mind, you ask yourself how can I do X? With the design patterns, you think, maybe I can use pattern Y or Z. When you know them and have a problem just find the one that works, or read through the guides until you find one that poses the question that is similar to yours.

Also, I explain in another post, you should have a decent knowledge of programming. Game dev is a hard and time consuming hobby. Take your time and build to when you need the patterns.

Thanks though, I will be sure to update with a similar explanation.

>people still download your game this far after demo day
S-stop it's not good enough yet

I know I'm going to have to learn an engine first, but I figured I'd choose one that would suit my needs for when I was ready to actually make something.

You talk about this a lot, but no one has actually expressed any such feeling. Yet you continue to insist upon it, as if it's objective reality. Are you sure it's not you who's actually insane?

I haven't said this before, but I think it's true. And it's not insane to feel lonely, shitposter, but you should express it in more constructive ways, ways that will eventually make you feel better.

I get that it's at a very abstract level, but it's at a level so abstract that only the biggest moron wouldn't have come to those conclusions anyway, but again, it refers to stuff that someone new to coding may not necessarily understand, like forcing something to throw compile errors rather than just resolving to himself generate only one instance of a thing.

As a real example, back when I dicked around with JS and HTML5, I wanted to make an isometric game as an end goal and decided to start learning JS and HTML5 by making an isometric 2d grid with no elevation that knows what tile is being clicked on as my first "big" exercise. I only needed to draw all the lines once for tiles, so that would be a singleton. But all this talk of compile errors and the ways things are generated runs counter to my experience of simply doing the line-drawing once at the beginning of all my scripting instead of making a class for it or whatever. I don't need a guide on how to make my line-drawing thing a singleton, because in theoretical terms, it already is. If anything, I'd need design and technical help on making classes of things!

That would be UML, Data Structures and OOP architecture. Singleton is a very simple design pattern, there are many that are very complex in idea. With those ones people rarely stumble upon them by mistake.

>I haven't said this before,

Daily reminder that if you ever feel the urge to shitpost open your text editor and make progress for 5 minutes instead of shitposting.

>Singleton is a very simple design pattern,
Exactly, it seems like it would be the default for anyone getting into scripting or coding rather than something that would need a tutorial or design advice. It's natural for people to make over-detailed one-offs rather than modular systems with holes to plug.

Yeah, I filtered the voice. Gonna look into it. Thanks.

We're aiming for something around survival-horror type.

Ok, gonna tweak the filters.

I appreciate the feedback, anons.

Survival horror. Make me grit my teeth on whether I should run or fight.

I have tutored and taught programming, there are some people that don't really get far without constant guide. And sometimes people just never think of things.

I understand that, but I'm saying that your guidance is coming from where most people need to go, guiding to them to where they start. It's natural to write lots of singletons rather than classes -- few, if any, people need instruction on how to make a singleton. Let alone the sorts of memesters and pretentious /g/ posters that actually use the phrase "singleton"

I see your point, I'll post more content related to design and intro topics.

Is Source a valid engine!?

>this dude has literally driven himself insane

woah

someone give me some good weeb music to listen to while devving

ive already exhausted the persona 4 soundtrack

Yeah, if you like bugs and the devs never fixing things.
I just dropped in here to look at titties and I've heard horror stories just from people who make Machinima using SDK.

wait for source 2, it looks a lot better

>the indie scene actually believes that SFM is the same as making a game

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. When I explained that Source has scripting that isn't based on GMod's Expression2, he flipped a shit.

>source "users" are still polluting this thread
>people still think they can make a real YesDev game with source

Now I can make people wear equipment. Unfortunately, I only have swords in the game right now. But presumably the other slots work too. I have 10 more slots defined but I haven't added hitboxes for them yet. Enemies can technically wear equipment too, but I think I'm just going to hard-code all the enemy's damage/armor into its datatable row - most of them won't be humanoid anyway. At least the option is open if I want to do enemy equipment in the future.

Not sure what's next. I could spend the rest of the night looking up crappy free models of helmets, armor, gauntlets, etc. and adding in some default items for every slot. I could add the stat system to characters. I could write functions to get random items from the set of all items based on the difficulty of the enemy/location. I could try to start adding magic. I could polish the stuff I have already. Lots of options...

reasonably, thanks

>letting yourself be covered in the flying rat
do you think she goes to sewers and lies down and lets herself get covered in sewer rats?

What should I work on for Sim Loli, AGDG?

* Optimize pathfinding

* Get car pathing to work again

* Add cops back in and work on their chasing AI

* Add in giving gifts to lolis and also do hunger/thirst/bladder/etc

* Make lolis "see" things, so if you throw something and they see it they'll ask you why you did it/bring it back to you or something. For throwing things this could be done as if they see (within sight distance/angle + not hidden) they look towards you where it came from, and if they see you they walk up to you and ask. Or there could be a chance they'll look at it then investigate you.

* Make lolis pick up thrown items if they find it interesting. some could also throw away trash if they see it and care about the environment

* Add more stuff into yard generation such as a path from the door to the sidewalk, and maybe driveways. Also additional buildings (attached or not) like garages, sheds, etc. Gardens, etc.

* Add in portraits to display the loli's current mood, and have there be temporary adjustments for when you impact a loli's mood.

* Make cars gravitate towards the center of the road to make driving less painful

* Adjust car specs to match the newer smaller tile sizes (divide everything by 2? maybe not that much?)

* Make loli's moods be affected by their surroundings when they're in the dungeon

You're challenging forces you don't understand.

Looks good, especially the music/setting/theme. But I didn't really see any gameplay, just running around. Looked like the guy was selecting weapons, but there wasn't anything to shoot at.

Maybe that's her boyfriend/husband? Doesn't it need to be stealing to be considered NTR?

I thought the reason people used Game Maker was so that they wouldn't have to code?
