I can't figure out my gimmick for my platformer. Pls help.

>he uses unity >he calls himself a "game dev"
Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
Matthew Price
I can't figure out basic shit in Unity, I guess I'll go back to making games on Excel.
Cameron Taylor
The only real-time 2D games I enjoy are ones that make use of physics like Gish and Hammerfight
So have lots of physics, maybe make everything destructible.
Owen Turner
What you use doesn't define you. You can use your own shitty engine and you won't be a game dev unless you actually make a game
Josiah Wright
It's alright user. When I first was learning how to use Game Maker, no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't wrap my head around scripting (more of a musician than a programmer). What I ended up doing was watching just about every single tutorial from Shaun Spalding and making a bunch of projects that I would end up dropping.
You won't get very far if you try to do this on your own because as a kind user told me a long time ago "GML is about 10% knowing how to code and 90% knowing the built in functions". Watch/Read tutorials, read the official support document (it's very helpful and if you middle click on a word in the script editor, it'll take you right to its entry) and fiddle around with small shitty games, and never be too prideful to google your problem because you'll most likely not only find every answer you need, but also have them explained in detail.

What are some must haves for grid based tactics games?
Are there any games where the tiles you move on become your "territory" permanently that grants your units various buffs? I think that would add a cool element of territory control to these games
Aaron Anderson
Like Civilization?
Noah Edwards
oh god, using unique decks for each location makes the game feel much better
Juan Ross
Never played it tbqh
But sounds fun
I want to make a fire emblem style multiplayer game where you also control the map
Daniel Cook
when you think of feeling claustrophobic, do you usually associate that with warm temperatures or cold temperatures?
i would say warm but i want to see what others think
Parker Wood
warm
Carson Martin
Warm
Liam Ross
Definitely warm. Panic doesn't feel cold. Small spaces are easier to heat up.
Henry Cook
This your new form of meltdown for the day sourcefam? >literally has never made a game in 3+ years of camping in agdg >somehow manages to get his anus twisted up about Unity and GMS You're like that kid who talks shit about Chevy or FORD cars and rides a bicycle to the grocery to buy his mom her cigarettes. Actually on second thought - you are that kid. Kys.
Aiden Martin
Love it. Any idea when you think the entire game (sans post launch content) will be done?
Landon Ross

>got 99 ideas >a game ain't one Biggest issue is art. Even the first lesson on drawabox is too hard. Is it supposed to be like this or am I just retarded?

Looks like a certain nintendo game but worse. You should also fix that clock color.
Angel Turner
Remove the milliseconds. Everything else is so looking smooth but then there's some fucking useless digits in the corner spazzing the fuck out.
Bentley Baker
Your art is getting worse the more you post. Looks like your gonna have to steal more from nintendo.
Isaac Gomez
Why is the timer text cartoon vomit green? It's hard to read and looks awful. Also this:

That's mean. Also funny.

FUCKING SHIT ART FUCKING SHIT NINTENDO CLONE.
Am I cool yet guys? Am I doing it right?
Liam Thompson
toads like worse, but captain look
Jeremiah James
In GM:S, do scripts called from an object have access to the variables of the calling object?
As in, if I have an object obj_player with a state machine defined by the variable currentState and the enum STATE, and I call a script, could the script change say "currentState = STATE.jump" without my having passed those as arguments?
Variable scope is the fucking worst.
Liam Walker
calm down kid
Juan Scott
guess what I am making ;)
pic related.
Ayden Hill
Am I the only one that admires he still works on this game and posts here while constantly getting shitposted for like 6+ months?
Nintendo clone.
James Carter
haha nice man, that rolling animal kills me everytime.
Adam Bennett
This was okay pretty much every time I tried it. Still not sure what caused it to fail the literal only time.
So, yes, basically.
Jeremiah Barnes
What do you think about my Breakout game?
Nathan Wood
>it works, except when it doesn't That's GameMaker for you. Fuck me.
Thanks, user.
Blake Mitchell
well fuck enjoy your 30 million
Nolan Brooks
no, you should talk more about how you have no ideas for a game and how you spent more time doing nothing than actually working on your game.These are the only acceptable posts for this thread.
Jacob Rodriguez
what the fuck? dont bully
William Green
>everyone hates useless source posting shitposts. >everyone posts useless shitposts at bokudev. Every-time he posts progress.
fucking agdg. What kinda posts do you even want here fuckers.
William Russell
Repost from old thread.
I added combo system which rewards from keeping the combo up by upping the power of specials (fire balls has different levels for example, where on lvl3 they go through enemies). When getting hit, player loses one level and the levels decreases to 1 over time.
Now there has been debate whether the levels should be determined by this system or be tied to current HP of player.
I think the former is more interesting and dynamic than the latter, but latter works better with slower weapons and some weapons that has more interesting gimmick than just projectile. The latter is still somewhat dynamic as it does encourage to not get hit and PC can sacrifice corpses to regain HP, so it's active part of the gameplay.
Does anyone have any opinions on this?
Austin Robinson
Some more sneak peak ;)
pic related as well.

>write a parser for external UI styles for my game because maybe that one player will eventually want to edit the UI style >worry about it taking a significant amount of startup time because a lot of string comparisions and what not >runs in about 500~ μs
o-okay
Brayden Taylor
source fags and shitposts
Justin Wright
I fully believe there is a hidden agenda within agdg to shit on 3D games and keep attention on 2D pixel shit ones.
A 2D cult if you will.
Kevin Evans
very nice
you could also keep the combo system but lock the player out of level 3 if he's too hurt?
Carter Peterson

oh wow...
Leo Wilson
>people talking about captain toad shit >have no idea what it is and check it out other than totally stolen aesthetics (even the boss is a bird) it's not that similar
Landon Morris
i just got here but i don't know why everybody is being so hard on this guy, it looks awesome tqbh
Bentley Baker
Slower weapons build more combo per hit to compensate for their playstyle
Jackson Moore
#justOOPthings
Jayden Morgan
Because he has good basic program but he doesn't do good things with it. Also his color palette is shit. There should be more warmer pastel colors
Jordan Howard
Dev was targeted by our shitposter some time ago.
Ayden Morgan
Its the new hit meme to bully him clearly.
Andrew Campbell
>reddit combat what's that?
>he doesn't know Clarent What does it feel to be new? First day on agdg must be exciting!
Thomas Walker
I'm new here and i think that rotating block game looks pretty good.
Brody James
I would do it by health as your game doesn't seem like the kind of cuhrayzee meat grinder that is conducive to combo multipliers and whatnot.
Elijah Miller
Its sort of this There is a circlejerk session within the agdg discord of a few bullies that hate the devs guts for some and constantly seem to shitpost him and end his feedback loops here.
Pretty disgusting when his game looks better than a lot of the 2D shit here.
Michael Bell
fuck off twink
Eli Richardson
> if you hate Clarent you must be new > We must all suck up to him
Charles Scott
fucking bonefist was the best idea ive been gifted. i love it. ignore the whip level on the ui. it hasnt been implimented yet.
hey, your shaders are really nice! i remember when everything was way too bright and you couldn't get it right. i think you hit the sweet spot. keep up the good work
looking good. just be careful since its very easy to use the infinite combo so make sure the combo system isnt too rewarding/easy to get. due to this i think dropping a level when hit would be better balance. maybe heavier weapons should give more combo/charge/thingy than faster weapons to compensate?
Levi Thomas
>posting the devs profile picture will help the bully meme.
You should judge him by his work instead of maturating to his faggot looks.
Connor Adams

Stop posting.

Get the fuck out source poster
Bentley Kelly
He was talking about not knowing Clarent isn't meme not about hating or liking
Andrew Gutierrez
If that is his girlfriend shes kinda QT. I thought he was a hot Asian trap into boys though does this mean I can't try to be his boyfriend?
Benjamin Hernandez
Finally finished my game and I'm really proud of it.
