/agdg/ - Amateur Game Development General

Didn't even know about that, there goes my original project.

If yours is in English and documented in English you have a market, because the Live2D documentation is Google translated trash.

You paid 100 dollaridos to put that there.

In a video tutorial I'm watching, the ability to name bone groups shows up in the circled spot whenever a bone group is added. I can add bone groups and set colors for them (as shown) but I can't name them. Is this location changed in blender 2.74?

Hey guys, finally got into greenlight. Please go there and vote what you think is right.

Groovy music, I dig. But you're probably a nodev who wants people here to vote no on this guy's campaign thinking he's a shill, so kys

>haven't seen game even once here
Here's your downvote.

staying true to the cube theme
when is cube cart

No votes do literally nothing on the platform. That would be a hilariously futile effort.

They can only serve to make the dev depressed.

>there were ~15 games submitted to greenlight on the 2nd of October, at a cost of ~$1500
>at a generous 4 minutes per submission, it would take one person at Valve an hour to check them all
>this doesn't happen and a 9 second video coupled with 4 duplicate screenshots is currently on their service
They just don't care

If I poke her eyes, will she die?

OOP is like reddit comments
ECS is like Veeky Forums posts

I'm sorry for the lack of actual progress posting, but I have nothing juicy to show right now. As you can see I have been focusing on fixing bugs before jumping on the fun part because I'll keep procrastinating forever on if I don't get rid of them as soon as I can.

Game Name: Vampire's Bit
Dev Name: VampireDev
Tools Used: Game Maker, Photoshop
Website(s): jcs.itch.io/vampires-bit-demo

+ Discovered what was causing some score count related bugs.
+ Started fixing various options related bugs.
+ Added more stuff to the things-to-do list.
- Will have to rework some code that new features will break.
- Almost finished redrawing MC. Still have to draw the background.

>No votes do literally nothing on the platform.

Explain.

>Someone donated 100 dollars to a charity just so they could post something that won't ever be approved

That's good user.

Your post is like nodev comments

charities are a scam, I'd rather gabe just pocket it

Some new weapons I made.

for someone who posts so much progress you never seem to finish a game or stick with an idea

>cards

I'm making them at the same time and reusing lots of code, it will work!

That's awfully pointy for a blunt weapon.

> player snaps to the grid correctly now

thank you.

The sad thing is, you could release bokube right now, and build some hype for Bokube 2 and whatever else you make

Well I don't think it pierces/slashes enough to be either, also it's a mace so yeah.

Game Name: TacticalRPG

Website(s): howdogamedev.itch.io/tacticalrpg
Progress:
+ Finished reference art for new character
+ Completed event/campaign friendly demo
- Didn't get very far with monster

I believe it's someone pretending to be him

>Releasing unpolished games
>Releasing unfinished games
>Being like Sean Murray

No thanks.

I don't think someone made an entire game to pretend to be him

We may get a video game development board afterall

the dream is dead user, /pol/ killed it.

He will ban /pol/ and make /gamedev/, HYPE

>notch banning /pol/

Anyone played GetAmped 2? For those that didn't, I'll give you context; it was a online brawler

The game had insane customization where you can literally make the base character of the game look literally (LITERALLY) like any other character. Mario? Mickey Mouse? Duke Nukem? You can do it with proper editing in game

My question is the following: How the fuck did this company not get in trouble? They literally allowed their fans to customize their character to look like anything, and that alone resulted in tons of remarkable character look alike a down to the point where you'd swear this is some next gen mugen or if the company made a deal with everyone to include their likeness

Can anyone explain as to how they didn't get sued? How did they get away with this? I need to ask because I was planning to develop a similar character editor system.

Please opinions and advice

if notch bought Veeky Forums, it would end up damaging his reputation to most uninformed people i think

i can see the headlines now:

"creator of childrens' favorite video game is now the owner of one of the most controversial message boards on the web"

He literally said he would in his twitter, /pol/ also started raiding him like the children they are ;)

How do you guys feel about hiding numbers and information? Is it possible to go TOO far doing this?

>How much damage does this weapon do?
Heavy damage.
>DPS?
get that scrub noob shit out of here, use every weapon to determine which is the best.
>What does leveling up the Strength or Intelligence stat do?
The player should find out through gameplay themselves. Fuck your descriptions.
>How do I play this game?
GET FUCKING GUD, learning is a puzzle game!

>the most controversial message boards
Way to downplay it. More like "One time lord of children's videogames, now the internet's version of Satan."

Please help me guys, I need your insights here

wtf i hate notch now
seriously what a pussy, he trolls from his twitter all day but he can't handle /pol/

>Way to downplay it.
i didnt want to get salty shitpost responses. but yeah, thats pretty much what i meant

The same reason Bethesda isn't facing charges for all the rape mods I'd guess, they're not the ones making it

It wouldn't matter anyway, since he doesn't own minecraft or have any friends
Just a billion dollars and distant memories of being popular on Veeky Forums

>Charges for rape games

What law is that?

that actually sounds kinda sad

as long as the vague description is actually true

if it says heavy damage it better actually do a lot of damage compared to other weapons, the reason most people want numbers is because the idiot intern who wrote the vague shit can't fuck up and write something wrong weeks after the designers changed everything again

I'm not sure he would care

I'm sure he's crying over his mountain of money overlooking hollywood

Literally anyone is better than Hiro he intentionally scared people and set up a shitstorm so he can drive up pass sales and cut server costs, it's why donations was never an option.

I wish he was happier, he deserves it.

wew lad. nigga telling it like it is

>Real dude, no le red/blue pilled tard
>Rich
>Good developer
>Will close /pol/ and make a gamedev board

Pls buy Veeky Forums

What makes you think he would close /pol/?

That also sounds like a terrible idea.

>Explain.
They don't count towards whether or not your game gets greenlit. The system only looks at raw yes vote count compared to other games on greenlight.

first off id never heard of that and just looked it up. that's a damn impressive character editor. that's really really fucking two

to answer your question, its because theyre not selling assets based off of copyrighted works. since its the manipulation of vertices (from what i saw), you could make a solid argument that it just LOOKS like a copyrighted character regardless if you based it off one or not. its pretty much impossible to argue against.

you've got dedication. when are you getting an artist?

notch would crack down on ebic racist jokes because they're just propaganda as the memes get normalized into actual society and thought

Check his recent tweets. Pic related

>I looking forward to fucking you over

Notch for President.

>忘却の彼方 ~蛮神シヴァ討滅戦~
大丈夫ですか?

So this is being made in Game Maker by someone I know. He swears it's not porn.

What do you suggest for music, user? Should it be free music or find a music guy?

aaaaand he's nuked the past week
i'm looking forward to our new shkreli overlord

>That also sounds like a terrible idea.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE A WONDERFUL IDEA

...

Convince him to make it into porn, porn games generate a lot of $$$

>banning racism specifically but all the other offensive things on Veeky Forums is fine
Yeah that'll work

NotchMoot would be based but it's just not gonna happen at this point, /pol/ is too obstinate and he's clearly backpedaling as fast as possible from association with Veeky Forums by deleting all his tweets from the past week

I think there's something where you can't just sue someone because what they sell allows you to make something that infringes on a copyright. As long as they don't package things that reasonably violate copyright, I think it's fair game.

Otherwise you'd have Disney suing the United Fruit Company because someone carved a Mickey Mouse head out of a banana.

Racism translates into the real world, most of the rest doesn't.

If I could stop getting distracted by how much fun I'm having programming this I'd work on learning art more.

It's just the title of the song I was listening to at the time of the screenshot.

...

>Game Maker
wut

what happened?

Not sure how they did, but other companies have been in that situation before.
Midway got into legal issues when some TV celebrity wannabe wanted to fuck with them because people was making him in Mortal Kombat's Armageddon character creation mode.
It ended in nothing because the court thought the character creator didn't had enought costumization options to make him like him to a recognizable level and that it could be any grey haired guy on a black suit.

i guess he doesn't want to look like a total asshole since he's been calling everybody out from /pol/ to sjws to hillary to trump to literally anyone who tweets at him for the past 2 days, not really a good look for the creator of minecraft

>Want to work on my game
>DCSS gets in my way
>Want to work on my math skills
>FTL gets in my way

There is quite some good ambient music of all genres for free out there. i say to get most of the music for free and things like the intro theme and credits made by a music guy.

Set aside designated vidya hours. Make it forbidden to play outside of that time.

Protip: Not first thing in the morning, that sets a bad tone for the day

Okay, so that's a rough idea of how the item selection should work, current/max ammo should be shown on the right of icon.
I think that's fast enough, right?

The camera motion seems unnecessary and disorientating

Is art progress game progress?

Spent way too long making these. Still have to work on the leaves, those are just a placeholder for now

How many items will the player have available at one time? I think it would break the flow of game play far less if I could set X number of items that a single button press could cycle through instead of dropping to inventory every time.

I just checked his twitter and the latest post is from June. It keeps going further back with every refresh.
