>demoday begins in the middle of a class >by the time i get to post my demo no-one will play it
John Adams
send it to asian problem hair lets play man
Ian Adams
I wish there was a way so that all the demos would be released at the same time regardless of actual submission time. But I think if you post within the first 24 hours or so you are probably okay.
Ethan Hill
I think there's 2 or 3 days to actually submit >inb4 "But no one plays games after the first hour!!" Don't be so silly. Plenty of people wait until the submission is over to play the games.
Grayson Scott
Post it now faggot I will play it provided I can play from my android phone
Levi Watson
Teach me :3
That's literally what I want to use but I'm just a bab with minimal knowledge
Christopher Jenkins
Your progress always makes me jealous as fuck.
Did you start as a programmer or artist? For how long have you done both?
Nicholas Cox
Took me a week to pickup C++ with prior knowledge of programming. SFML is just 10 pages of documentation. OpenGL is the fun part
Hudson Brooks
What was your prior knowledge?
Where/how did you learn OpenGL?
do you have anything to show
Carter Brown
I finished my Atom Bomb game but I can't post progress because im in a hurry.
Isaac Turner
>broke all my levels from the last demo >gotta scrape something together at the last minute >again
Nolan Nelson
>Write for 3 hours >Produce 12 cards great
Card games are hard.
Hudson Taylor
>Did you start as a programmer or artist? For how long have you done both? I started this summer, not counting little never released things I've toyed with, really
Benjamin Richardson
>What was your prior knowledge? Im a 3rd year computer engineering student, been programming mostly java.
>Where/how did you learn OpenGL? This is honestly the best resource i have found
so apparently you can have inverted textures in blender
Adam Kelly
whoopsie forgot pic
Justin Nelson
How to get started with engine dev?
Assume I know nothing except basic scripting in the environment of engines like GM and Unity.
Dominic Powell
i wanna know too
Cooper Bennett
Make a terminal (ASCII-based) engine first.
Logan Lopez
That doesn't explain how to get started. I already want to make game, but I don't know where to begin.
Jose Hall
Domo day
Jaxson Rogers
By not trying to be a retard reinvent-the-wheel engine dev who will literally never have a completed game.
Josiah Campbell
more like homo day
Sebastian Watson
>not counting little never released things I've toyed with, really
Well that's what I was interested in, how long you fiddled around/practiced before starting this one.
Since I've been messing with stuff for 2 years and still don't have anything myself.
Daniel Garcia
I see. Where's your finished game, then?
Carson Wright
I already had several years of programming experience coming in, so I just picked up a library and started working don't know if that's helpful but u kno look up tutorials on youtube
I started in 2d and text-based games though you need to understand how draw and update functions work first and foremost. Takes about a month to pick that up I think
Mason Wood
...
Dylan Lee
>learn a language >make a Hello, World! -program >add functionality for user input >change output from Hello, World! to player character Congratulations, you've achieved a game! Now you can either add stuff to the game (gamedev) Or make the program modular in the sense that it could be used to create games (enginedev)! Have fun!
Blake Mitchell
It's not finished yet. But it will be, because I didn't waste 2 years coding an engine for it.
Anthony Harris
A year or so, then
Andrew Sanders
3D?
Aaron Peterson
>But it will be
Jonathan Morales
With GM:S I get: >Error: no sound exists for soundid 1635208 when compiling. How can I search which sound file GM:S has fucked up without going through all the files? It doesn't give resource name, just ID.
Ayden Clark
Funniest article about engine devs i have read in a long time :DD
because the developer programmed them to block line of sight
Jordan Butler
GML
Yeah I'll make them bigger later
Hunter Harris
Demo day is two days from yesterday, are you ready you pitiful shits?
Asher Brooks
Which game is this for?
Kevin Gomez
>are you ready you pitiful shits? Nope, I'm still missing any actual playable levels. Maybe I'll make it for the next one.
Carter Baker
...
Jaxon Walker
Don't bother. You already failed due to your poor deadline adherence, as planing is the most important game dev skill. You are only wasting your time.
Ayden Price
>unity broke the set dirty flag >documentation says to record an undo instead >its also broken >keeps reverting my level connections so the player is warping around like crazy
Leo Morales
I should have guessed.
It doesn't sound terribly fitting for an Egyptian/desert themed game. Maybe take a page from Shantae with how they made their victory tune Arabian themed.
Or Startropics 2, for some reason I think the instrument set would fit well
>tune Arabian themed Just have a nasheed without vocals playing in the background, dude.
Carson Butler
Reworking combat wasn't the best idea a day before DD
Benjamin Foster
...
Adrian Rivera
I'll see about adding some flat seconds in there. That's probably the easiest way to make things sound middle-eastern.
Brayden Torres
Keep up the good work.
Eli Gomez
>been nodevving for over a week >zero motivation Help, how do I yesdev again
Gavin Martinez
Ez tutorial is killing off NPC's infront of the player.
Leo Morales
what if the player isnt looking at that
Isaiah Turner
Then they clearly have autism
Jayden Mitchell
>player isnt doing exactly what I want at all times >autism
nice
Elijah Reed
I didn't even notice it
Gavin Scott
?The player isn't smart enough to not cross their eyes at the start of the level to notice something right in-front of them.
Adrian Williams
the wind and flying things get player too busy to notice the other character
Easton Jones
Yesterday's progress. Today I'm making puffy puffy pants.
Joshua Ramirez
all debris isnt automatically siphoned in now, rather you suck it in when close enough.
Aiden Sanchez
Top or Bottom A.K.A Shadows or No Shadows
Anthony Rivera
Getting ready for demo day.
Justin Morris
those look really annoying
also why does it say hull? is that dude like a mecha?
David Robinson
Every games should have an option to have shadows or not.
Brandon Foster
looks cool user! is it done with smart materials?
Jaxson Young
what do you mean with inverted? You can flip normals of faces, but your pic looks more like you extruded some double. If they fully align with their twins you can remove those via the W menu in edit mode.
Xavier Cox
In GM:S how would I go about having an expandable panel behind my main game screen? (think of shmup resolution games but that have HD resolution panels that expand with game/concept art so that its not just black bars). I only want the panels to grow once the game has hit it's maximum possible aspect ratio for the current monitor. Would this just be using another view entirely and overlaying the main game view on that?
Owen Peterson
Just stop with that reinvent-the-wheel. I don't want to reinvent it but to know how do you make one and how it truly works and use it with full functionality
Kevin Williams
Yep. Bronze armor masked with the displacement map I used to make those ornaments. Could have done that easier possibly. Gotta look into that again.
Also some steel material with height information disabled (basically just taking the normal map from the bronze armor)
William Russell
How the fuck did Gogem do it? He made chinese pewdiepie play his game. Fuck. I'm jelly.
Logan Rivera
He finished a game
Did you finish a game?
Isaiah Harris
shadows preferred, especially for green ball
James Thomas
Yes ;_;
Jayden Allen
Yes.
Sebastian Butler
weren't you making a cuhrazy platforming hack n slash, some time ago?
Jeremiah Carter
paying
Aiden Scott
>decide to test game on mums laptop >bottleneck at cpu >cpu usage is 100% the fuck?
Mason Ross
I guess. I have time to work on it full-time now, so I'm aiming to finish.
Evan Evans
>How the fuck did Gogem do it? ...by making a wacky youtube-bait game with zero depth?
James Reed
that's great. I'm just hoping no one steals your identity again and you keep posting progress.
Noah Gonzalez
It's ok, you have another 48 hours from the start of DD.
Levi Taylor
It was the result of drawing a rectangle incorrectly
Rather than 1234 you line the quads up like 1342, otherwise it's lined up completely wrong, basically
Lucas Nguyen
I'd love to get a bigger picture of how your game works. You always post stuff that seems so disjointed.
Elijah Wood
Because Googum keeps working, no matter how hard everyone shits on him. Some huge youtube personality shit all over a game googum spent years working on. And did Googum stop or get butthurt? No, he kept working and bettering himself. I honestly hope he finds financial success, he embraces the grind.
Brandon Hernandez
>bettering
I mean yeah he keeps going, but bettering? Come on now
