What's a good first practice project for a game dev? Pong clone?
Gavin Bell
I need a shader that looks good with low poly somebody help me out everything I try is either deprecated or looks bad on low poly
Nathan Perry
Yes, or if you feel adventurous, a Mario style platformer. Breakout is pretty good too.

----[ Recap ]---- Game: Cash Sample Dev: SlowDancer Tools: RPG Maker MV, Photofiltre, Cubase 8, Internet, Water Web: lemmyrodul.com Progress: + Database plugin prospection - Feels like nobody gonna respond + 3D rendering prospection + Dev doc about color usage + Started a map of unlockable skills + HUD Clock Design + Finished Medicine Art
>getting some fatigue from this project I already told you to make the scope sane and drop the multiple character bloat, no reason to have it.
Julian Edwards
Inu alternate clothings are pretty interesting. I want to see the 4th one.
Will probably play as the samurai guy through.
Josiah Wright
I'll always be there to respond in spirit user.
Connor Murphy
Reminder to just work on a game, an idea or even copy a mechanic. Keep coding, keep doing art. Don't wait for the perfect idea, you can keep thinking about it while you work on something. anything. Keep improving.

Lincoln Walker
Understood, helpful furry merchant!
Cooper Hill
she's a slut
Jason Evans
im not devving because visual studio is fucked, thats why!
Camden Cook
>implying that's a bad thing
Dominic Reed
I've done everything except the logo and music, and when I work on either I know it's going to feel like "real" progress isn't happening and the project is going to "feel" like it's stagnating.
Parker Richardson
lol that fucking falling animation is killing my sides
Joseph Moore
Wish there's a language that combines the best of Python and C#
Henry Moore
I wish there was a language that was perfect
Xavier Thomas
have you tried gdscript?
Brayden Clark
...
Leo Brooks
Why dont you make one?
Zachary Robinson
There's no point. The things I wanted to do have already been done, and better.
Ryder Ortiz
>she's a slut Explain.
Justin Miller
Is there some sort of "you can definitely use these in your game and not get sued" resource for fonts without all these weird, sketchy licenses?
Matthew White
Why do furries insist on including gameplay with their porn?
Grayson Nelson
>barely 1 or 2 furry games on /agdg/ >Why do furries insist on including gameplay with their porn?
Isaac Rivera
How does this look
Cooper Brooks
Fantastic. I love the aesthetic you're going for.
David Thomas
spoopy
Luis Cook
No. Nobody really buys font and actual font sales are pennies. Their main income is to release font, put in on web under some shitty license that looks free and once you use it in your product you are done for. It's a whole fucking business through court and lawsuits.
Owen Gomez
2dark Cant excuse it "muh aesthetics"

>Javadevving >Using JavaFX >Objects in the world stored in ConcurrentSkipListSets in Tile objects; tiles used to determine render order and simplify collisions, otherwise things have floating-point coordinates >Main game loop updates Logic which modifies the World appropriately, then draws to a Canvas >JavaFX's threading means I need the thread-safe ConcurrentSkipListSet if I want the canvas to directly be accessed by the GUI to draw things to the canvas, which makes the code more concise
>WorldObjects moving from, say, (0.5,0.5) to (0.5,1.5) are supposed to move from tile (0,0) to (0,1), using (int)worldObject.get(x) and (int)worldObject.get(y) to get the correct tile >ran into problems getting thread-safe, thought I fixed everything >except it's obvious that, occasionally and under conditions completely esoteric to me, sometimes objects won't be removed from tiles when they're added to new ones >this means that the rendering order gets fucked up (in addition to making algorithms unnecessarily complex)

Should I just do an architectural restructuring of the entire graphics, or is there some easy fix here? Because I'm out of ideas and tempted to just write up some designs and stick to them instead of the current scatterbrain "try until it works" approach I've been using.
Isaac Powell
wtf just draw your own font
why does this community get so hard over using other's resources?
Dylan Carter
When's the next agdg jam? Feels like we haven't had one in forever. all the other itch.io jams are shit >literally tranny jam happening soon
Jeremiah Torres
Think of a theme and start one. Just don't put it too close to a demo day.
Christopher Nelson
We had mecha jam and Halloween jam
Christian Turner
And AGDG's version of the global game jam literally just ended
Nathaniel Turner
>mecha jam and Halloween jam Exactly, ages ago
It's not really an agdg jam though
Gavin Mitchell
the theme was total shit
Jace Wright
how can you possibly look at current triple A games and not see any of the many, many flaws they have
John Gonzalez
Would also love a jam. It usually only has like 4-7 games in it, but there's quite a few people atleast trying to work on something. Plus there are only like 10 yesdevs in the threads anyways.
Wasn't that like 3months ago? This was mostly for AGDG devs to post their ggj games without needing to filter through the ggj website to find them.
Ryder Wood
It was pretty dire. GGJ is pretty shit.
William Clark
Someone make a jam for sometime soon, and I'll join.
Landon Bailey
I unironically believe that AGDG jam > LD > mini jams > nodeving > GGJ when it comes to fun. But this is personal preferences.
Brandon Roberts
>Wasn't that like 3months ago? NO
THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT
Brody Hill
because those get voted on for the theme. GGJ has a theme pulled out of someones ass.
Landon Taylor
even a random theme from an agdg troll was better,i had atleast 5 semi-decent ideas with "get vertical"
Camden Fisher
> tfw I was the person that spread the "Get vertical" theme by accident because I read some twitter post I'm so sorry. I didn't think someone would take it and put it on the itch.io page.
Zachary King
>tfw you'll never be ZUN
Easton Richardson
n i m l a n g c r y s t a l neither production ready yet :^)
James Ross
Is this what can make me a thousand a month on patreon?
Nathan Hughes
That was me ;_; it's not your fault
Jaxson Peterson
>tfw will never drink a beer with him why even live
Luis Brooks
Thousands? No but if you make it fuck with some furry bimbo and market it 10 hours / day on furafinitty or whatever... a thousand or so? sure.
Easton Watson
>tfw I'll never drink his beer
Carson Walker
Why so little indie 4x games
Nathan Howard
no
Aaron Kelly
It's okay user. You just wanted to share and thought it was correct. I shouldn't have gone so excited for "knowing" the theme.
Julian Rodriguez
Seeing the flaws doesn't mean I know how to fix them, especially when I have only a fraction of the skill and resources.
Jacob Cox
>cant model >cant draw nah
Nathan Cooper
Yeah, I get the feeling you are just quite jealous.
Hudson Rivera
nice but i think colors might be too strong and saturated
Benjamin Walker
I really fucking need a gamejam. Looked through the other jams and nothing fun is up for a few months. LD is 81 days away aswell..
William Perez
Just Like Make Jam
Carter Nelson
I downloaded and played it. Just some bugs but I guess that's expected. Please keep going.
Kayden Richardson
Ok fuck I got it. What furries like isn't actual fur like someone I could respect. It's literally just regular(but faggot) men in with some fur draped on and, usually, an animal head.
Thanks guys. I think the entire fetish is just people trying to pretend they aren't gay.
OTHERWORLD adventures finally feel like other dimensions, what do you think?
Ryder Watson
> objects won't be removed from tiles when they're added to new ones Usually such things happen when two operations that are supposed to happen atomically (e.g., remove from once cell/collection then add to another cell/collection) are interleaved by another operation on that cell/collection which screws up the result.
