/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

Is there any way to perform arbitrary async tasks in GML? I'm trying to rig up a map streaming system and it'd massively benefit if it's possible, but it seems like there's a small set of very specific async tasks you can perform defined by the API...

Why is the top text pixel shit and the rest uses some shit font?

The problem, I think, with a lot of these ethical dilemmas is that they always establish a bunch of arbitrary rules in order to confine the user to a binary choice - i.e. "You cannot kill yourself". This means that despite being given a choice, the user still feels a lack of agency, which generally isn't a good thing in video games. So you'd have to find a way to work around that.

>wanting to do shit like that
>using GM
wew lad

>binary choice
>no agency
hmmm

It's not really binary tho. I'd flick the switch really fast left and right.

God job completely ignoring my point.

nth for let the shilling begin. Musicguy looking for project and blah blah blah.

the top font doesn't match the rest of the design and the black background looks bad.
Making UI is the worst

Do you do it for free?

>haven't gotten sensible response from collaborators
>can't even add you on basic communications platforms.
This doesn't bode well.

Famitracker music guy again

Just drop a message if you need something done

agh you beat me to it!

Progress2

New background with the spacedust effect with a bit more action going on.

Yeah at thins point I feel like we should ditch the collabs altogether for now and go back to them for the next jam.
Dumb collab manager should have revealed the teams in advance so we could get in touch with each other before the jam began.

are we just posting our music at this point

>not collabing twice

Saved both of you for future use, if you don't mind.

COLLAB JAM MAKE IT HAPPEN.

do you have a soundcloud?

My team is still missing one guy, and being in different time zones it's hard to keep in touch, we still haven't decide what to do

p.good m8
glad to see someone actually using panning right.

So I'm guessing you saw my video?

I didn't mention this in the vid but I think the biggest weakness to your game right now is the fact that you're relying massively on enemies and deadly obstacles and not so much on actual puzzle elements. Bokube is a puzzle game and makes a poor action game so I'd much rather see clever stuff that works my brain than having to avoid death all the time. That I believe is what makes it rather tedious currently.

The good news is that this is only a matter of level design and it looks like your levels are relatively quick to put together.

>/agdg/ will defend this

id make a male main character haha get it because modern game politics

r8 my game

That's overreacting.
I'l wait of course but it's not nice to not get any contact with them during the first day.

anime is progress

All-star all the way.

please don't remind me ;-;

the real world is not that simple

how big is her pussy...?

kys

you basically need to scrap your logo, it sucks

make something less like bubble trouble for the NES, and more like your artstyle and cube theme

bet its fucking huge

if you insist

There is more puzzle stuff, its just that the first world of the game is the easiest puzzle wise, so the other 9 worlds can ramp up as you go. The Easter world you play in the demo has 14 levels and boss, and you only played through the tutorial and the first 4 levels of the Easter world too, so you missed how the puzzles get deeper there.

Though I will look into it some more.

what if the real answer is to save them by not playing the game

I think the main issue with the logo is that it's the only pixel element in the game/layout.

relative to your dick size anyone's is

No.
unless the project really interests me or it gets me some where
Even if it looks like I'm ahead, I'm actually literally following you on soundcloud, I meannice music

frontload the good stuff a little bit more, if people don't see good puzzles by a few levels in they'll start to make assumptions

what do you think the acoustics are like in her pussy

Will do senpai.

Man, making modular assets is not as easy as I thought. Any tips for handling floor and walls thickness, and still align it to the grid?

The Dark Crystal

In my opinion this one would translate better to a video game.

The Witcher for example has plenty of "leave X good guy to his death to save Y good guy".

art progress, still wip

I recommend a complexity ramp up so

level 1: plain movement
level 2: simple obstacles
level 3: simple puzzle

and then increase the difficulty from there, and if it's not too much effort at this point you should probably have your obstacles add timing pressure to your other tasks, rather than be just by themselves, at least to some degree

How can I improve this animation?

>racist is a minus in a survival situation

(((you)))

>either rationalize a life for a life, or one life for lives and whether its worth it
OR
>if X person is better for the world for than Y person

They're all boring shit and would make boring games unless you flesh out all the people immensely and have the death moment all lead up at the very end.

make the body/tail itself move one pixel up and down every now and then
>racist is a minus if you have to cooperate with people of different races

how is it not?

a fat man isn't gonna stop a tons heavy trolley

A couple of orphans VS a noble lord that abuses his wife.

Which do you rationalize and why?

Orphans are more than the noble, but his death would affect more people.

Orphans are relatively good, but chances are that (like most orphans) they'll grow up to be thugs while the noble is a wife-beater but his job helps people.

makes sense, what if you have to resort to cannibalism? he wouldnt touch it.

a constant smear with variations rather than actually moving the wings.

...

heads

Racism is what kept us alive until now. Avoiding bears and wolves(maybe not all of them want to eat us!), crossing the street when you see a group of people with a different skin-color than you at night, being on lookout for missing things when you have to work with a gypsy etc. all of these are effects of racism, and they more often than not help you.

But yeah go ahead and give random hugs to muslims when ISIS is wrecking havoc, because #NotAllMuslims.

Well user, was I right?

...

>there's positives
>but then a negative
>but then a positive

>kill the orphans
>parents likely won't know so its only their meaningless lives by foreshadowing
>but one or many could grow up to do something great for society

or

kill the lord, thus freeing his wife, but putting people out of jobs OR giving them a new hope.

There's just too many open ended questions. It's as silly as would you do X for a million dollars.

Well, somebody is compensating for his huge heda.

>avoid bears and wolves is racism
kek

still makes sense as a minus in the context of his game

>being retarded
It's an obvious minus. He doesn't work well with a subset of the rest of the group.

In group out group mechanisms.

It's important to be able to distinguish from friendlies from enemies, be it human or animal.

that's not the definition of racism

We have a tribe mentality ingrained in all of us.
We are going to feel more comfortable with our own race. All the mental gymnastics and anecdotes in the world cannot refute this.

Don't get a big head about it

Racism is gained not breed.

this is irrelevant to the discussion

Of course I don't actually expect him to change it for his game m8, I was just doing some light banter on the topic.

It's the base cause of racism, before it had a word.

Make the animation move much faster so it looks like a hummingbird or an insect. The wings don't have enough articulation for it to pass as a regular bird.

Clarentdev here.

Lots of people has requested blocking, so shield spell will be in.

Now the colors for spells are:
axe = green
scythe = purple
dagger = blue
grappling hook = yellow/orange

What color would be good for shield? The health bar is red so it's color I'd like to avoid.

Real racism, note: Not the lefty high-jacked definition, is inherited as I stated earlier.
Not really.
It's not a positive or a negative, it's just a character trait.
Dichotomizing it is silly and a sign of a shitty writer.

>the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race

"All wolves eat us, all bears attack us", this is where racism comes from.

Did the KKK send a time-traveler to teach our ancestors about racism and kill the neanderthals who were different from us?

Also to clear out things, I'm not working on the game alone anymore. I have artbro and musicbro working with me, so they might post some progress too. It's not me having split personality.

who the fuck is a clarent dev

How's your first week going?

What about white?

this is some top quality bait right there

wolves and bears aren't races

you know nothing of my kin

It's an analogy buddy. He means avoiding something which has the tendency to be more dangerous than an alternative.

>mfw no idea where to contact group I
>discord is ded
Well shit, I guess I'll collab with myself.
