/agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General

repostan from dead thread
actually a good idea, I'll add it

Looking forward to it!

I'm skipping it for the third time in a row but this is one of those times where I just can't afford to put out a subpar demo. Just promise to yourself that DD18 will be the one and focus on that goal!

Where is your code waifu?

she's... not here any more

Yo that's creepy desu

Progress! Finally implemented the laser beam in the new weapon system. Also re-implemented strafing, though I had to spend a lot of time working around Unity's fuckshit importing of the animations.
Now I'll make the beam itself look a bit more fancy, with particles and shit.

After that, I'll have to re-add all the weapons to the enemies, but it should be pretty quick.

can you shoot your arms flying? mecha without rocket punch is not mecha

Are you a writerfag who'd be interested in working on a Cyberpunk VN-RPG with 3 other virgins for an equal share of the profits?

Then sign the fuck up!
goo DOT gl SLASH nvAPia

I completed other full games before, so I won't abandon or let the project explode, promise! We also post PROGRESS every week!

Why is everyone on AGDG so talented?

>stealing my cyberpunk RPG idea and turning it into a shitty VN

I'm not

who? i'm the only person here who's talented

Because you've been mentally erasing the many shit games in between.

me and this guy are the only talented ones here

Anyone gonna be entering github's game off?

Depends, do I have a game?

I'm not talented yet but I will be

I made a cave that resembles a dragon skuil or something. Maybe a really big goat
You can't actually zoom out enough to see anything in game though

I'm working on a cyberpunk bloodborne so join my team instead

no, too long

It's mediocre, because I tried to do it mostly alone, so the art and story is garbo. I've only heard good things about the music and gameplay, though, which is the part I specialize in. Still, it's a fully fledged RPG that I developed, managed and published, even if it was mostly just to test the industry's waters. But anyway, I've learned my lesson and have assembled an actual specialized team to work on this next project.

The Steam store code is 661110.

The VN part is just for the "cutscenes", the game is mostly a hardcore RPG.

>taking my story-driven cyberpunk RPG idea and making it into a snoozefest

If it's gonna be shit, why are you concerned about it stealing "your idea" ?

because i want more attention for my UI

Oh I remember this game, that last screenshot cracks me up. Having an actual finished game is more than most can say here.
It's good that you realize the faults of your game, that's the best way to improve.

Need a quick opinion here:

This guy is supposed to be scary but also intelligent. If you sneak through levels you can catch him reading books and performing alchemy.
He's also a magic user on the level of D&D's beholders, freezing you in place, confusing you (inverting your controls) and generally fucking with you.

he can also open doors

So which eyes do I give him?

they are really not. Take a step outside of Veeky Forums. Go to polycount and various gamdev channels/websites if you wanna see real talent.
it's a whole different level there. Which is also the reason many people stay here. Out there they can't compete

The second set. The more human the eye, the more intelligent the look of the creature.

The black eye makes him scarier and alienlike but the pupil eye makes him smarter, you could go for a middle term and give him a more alien pupil.

What if instead of eyes he just had a bunch of noses

He's a scholar, not a merchant.

Reminder to go on a daily walk and exercise to get the energy you need to dev!

feels like black eye would be when he's enemy and human eye would be after you've befriended him and made him your comrade.

also i wouldn't mix black eyes and human eye, black eyes don't really feel like eyes after that.

What's a good resource to learn shaders? Specifically, I want to run geometry and compute shaders in Unity. I have trouble finding anything even remotely comprehensive, seems like black magic fuckery all the way down

What's the name of that sonic remix they played at the sonic conference (that appear in some jim sterling video)?

as an idea just fuck around with shader editor app on smartphone, you can even set this shit as your live wallpaper. although it's just a fragment shader there

kek

I can't walk, draw, dev, cook, read AND masturbate every day.

This but unironically

Yes you can
Masturbate while walking
Draw on your books
esolangs.org/wiki/Chef

Or rather, dev FULL SPAGHETTI

Dont masturbate, become mostly vegan, don't cut your hair (because of energetic reasons), use your sexual energy into deving (sexual transmutation), start to go to the gym, eat better, read the bible and buda.

>tfw the two reviews were ok with shit graphics but it was the gameplay that let them down

Can't I just go back to sleep for a few hours?

dont fap, suddenly you'll have too much energy to dev.

>tfw you've never made it more than a week
How do you do it?

But that's not true

Start by just getting at least a week without fapping, the relapse.

It took me three times before finally succeeding.

being clean since the 15th.
also read more about nofap on youtube to motivate yourself.

This might be useful to fellow lovefags.
The demo of Blue Revolver contains the source code unobfuscated in the .love file. I have learned a lot from it so far.

so many engines i wanna try them all. and frameworks too but later

go ahead then

>This guy is supposed to be scary but also intelligent.
just use a pic of me

>saw a dev once posting his game on a small board in an empty thread
>asked him if he had twitter
>said he didn't have any social media accounts
>told him to make a twitter and post on it weekly
>he did it and after 5 months he has twice as many followers as me and his game has progressed a ton
Really happy to see the dev making it.
You all should do the same, post on twitter once a week and you'll quickly gain a following.

>tfw AGDG will soon be the most disciplined community on Veeky Forums

>School
>I have to fit >1000 "complex" objects and all other minor bullshit used into the arduino mega board
>mfw I see the specs
8k of ram and 4k of eeprom

just keep your objects under 8 byte and you will be fine~~

>become mostly vegan
Proper vegan meal takes longer to prepare, what does it have to do with not having time

>some fucking salad takes longer to prepare
are u retarded?

Any ideas on what could make an upper case L become a lower case L after packaging a game in UE4?

>below 8 bytes for vector math shit
>not to mention other random bullshit from other parts of the program
Time to implement half's...

Should shmups be vertical or horizontal?

Veganism doesn't give you more energy nor time.

You're gonna die of malnutrition if all you eat is fucking salad

you can still eat a minimal amount of meat, for health reasons, not just everyday eating like an american pig.

Vertical is cooler.

>Think of game idea
>Spend weeks coding it
>Finish most of the underlying systems
>Have to add proper graphics and art into the game
>Immediately give up
Being a code monkey is suffering.

Raw food + Ketogenic + Organic
my regular diet, when i want to feel good

preparing your own meal is already a big plus

>don't cut your hair
Fuck that, having long hair is annoying as hell.

gremlins in electric outlets

>it's a "documentation explains fuckall and the only information is from video tutorials" episode
filler arcs are stupid

>missing all the universe creative energies your hair pickup when taking sun
faggot.

If you don't have hair all that solar creative energy juice is absorbed directly into the bloodstream

ask away

Try
>there is no documentation or videos time read the source code

Vertical but you have to turn your monitor sideways to play.

t.

>normal meat consumption is bad for you

I neither know what the problem is or what I'm doing to be honest.

I think I'd rather deal with explanatory source code than bad video tutorials, they feel like a waste of time.
But this is an ideal scenario, source code is never clear and video tutorials are always full of garbage.

>normal meat consumption is getting heart attacks and strokes because of meat
>is another american defending their obesity rates

If you think murricans are fat because of meat consumption and not the six million carbs they eat a day you're retarded.

>meat doesn't have effects on disseases

>imblying I said anything about diseases

Terrible question. Both are viable and merely sub genre's of the whole because of how they change the design and play of the games themselves.
You should play some of each and decide what kind you like the most and go from there.

Horizontal on screens where width > height and vertical on screens where height > width obviously

But many monitors and phones can be rotated

>not being skilled in the art of semen retention
>he thinks he is gonna make it

Then maybe your game should rotate too
