/agdg/ - Amateur Game Development General

Thank you, memetic Bob Ross. You are amazing too!

>test something
>think "wait, this isn't supposed to glitch out this way"
>check character movement settings
>had an unnecessary bool that was checked
That was the weirdest epiphany I've had on a bug. I'm glad I solved it so quick.

Absolutely not. I have a page long list of stuff to do and it keeps getting longer every day. Some of which (level design, sound design) I have no idea how to tackle.

Fucking rad.

Anyone know why StopAllCoroutines() isn't stopping my coroutines?

GEDDAN

I like how the sign on the shield looks like a svastika

it clearly spells out "69" though

newfag here. Whats the demo day?

hey what's a simple algorithm to get the outline of an arbitrary tile-based shape

Shut up, shitposter

Well, perhaps in this itt thread, senpai would notice me.

Yesterday, I gave a shot to the idea of "drawing" character busts instead of full height. Above: before, below: after. On top of that, I want to put sprites for helms, armor, and weapons. What do you think, user? I think, busts will be better, although they don't seem to be easier to draw, as I previously hoped.

Some numbers are very decent

My mediocre uni opened game development master's just as I'm finishing my computer science bachelor's

It's going to be terrible but it'll make me work more than I would otherwise, and maybe meet someone worthwhile to yesdev with

I'm gonna do it bois

Most dev schools are scams. The only good one I know of is NYU's Game Center.

Feels out of place.

Battle brothers did this.

add chibi characters instead, busts are weird

As I posted in the last thread I think this is a waste of resources.

>planned to kill myself in the most effective tower of the city
>start reading to see how effective it is
>find leftist converted all the suicides in critic against capitalism and how "deshumanized" the people act to suicides
I was planning to kill myself but if it's gonna be used for leftist to push agenda i'd rather to keep myself alive.

You mean the bust? Perhaps. You think, there is a way to improve it?

That's where I looked up the idea.

for a tactics/strategy game, sure
for a rpg, hell naw

The degree is going to cost me around maybe $100 in various fees for three semesters.

Socialist here. Can confirm. You wouldn't want to kill yourself if the world was just and you got the help you needed.

$100 for nothing is still a bad deal.

...

fuck off! if i live in a socialist country i would probably kill myself, socialist never cared about help me, they just deshumanized suicide to push their agenda just like every other human.

maybe you need some peterson in your life.

I've been thinking of making my RTS in 2D instead of 3D. This would allow me to add more units instead of worrying how to rig a 3D model with a bunch of animations.

I should think about it and whether I can draw a passable chibi. Do you think that 64x64 is a good chibi size or I should go with bigger sprites for that?

At this point, I'm going to make one character sprite and a couple of weapon and armor sprites; not too much work and a good change from plain coding (which I do all day every day already). I don't really like the "@"-protagonist if that's what you're advocating.

Why not in rpg?

only eu4 lets you program in c++, thats what tells you how bad c++ is.

>Why not in rpg?
because busts walking around the dungeon looks out of place, since it's supposed to be "in scale". if it was something like grand strategy then it wouldn't be a problem, since the army tokens on the map aren't actually that big irl, they're only a representation of the army/units/whatever. quite frankly, i don't dig the battle brothers implementation either.

wrong
github.com/GodotNativeTools/godot-cpp

i can dev today!

>even more proof that C++ is a meme
thanks for the help.

Knightdev has did it again. His game is the top post of /r/gaming right now.
This time he posted the game on his own. His reddit username is ToadyTheBRo.
About 18 days ago he was looking for pixel artists to hire for money on /r/gameDevClassifieds
This suggests he actually has a budget for this game and is developing it professionally.

can I use my github to be something like my place where I upload my art, like deviantart or tumblr?

>why not tumblr
It distort picture sizes when posting.

>why not deviantart
doesn't accept blender files or some shit.

>there are jealous plebdevs not making money off their games
lol, christ.. really?

But 3D will have more player appeal. Couldn't you just prototype your game with boxes, and if everything seems to come into place, then later create the more complicated and proper 3D models?

I'm rooting for him. If he can tighten up his combat and speed it up a little he could have something great, he definitely has enough whimsical and weird shit to make something with personality.

jesus fucking christ can you just fucking kill yourself and end this meme where anybody who has money is a professional
you think you're being hilarious but you're just ruining this place further

Where is your game, user? Where does the pain comes from?

the virgin amateur "dev" vs the chad professional gamegod

>search for 16 bit BGM royalty free
>8 bit sound click here
>8 bit sound click here
>8 bit sound click here
>8 bit sound click here

Do musicians have to purchase something expensive to be able to create 16 bit songs? I can't find any free bgm site with 16 bit songs.

the nodev shitposter vs the yesdev progresser

Nodevs lose by default.

Those numbers were arbitrary to begin with, and they are that even more so now.

Basically everything "retro" is just called 8bit nowadays.

sorry folks, my little stage performer has gotten loose again
shoo, danny, back to your cage, you furry

Just get two of those songs and add them together. Easy.

Listen here you little shit.

...

haven't really posted any progress in a while

currently trying to make my tower defense into a rogue like where maps get auto-generated

i think copying mechanics from games like FTL,Slay the Spire,Isaac and so on is literally FREE MONEY

>i think copying mechanics from games like FTL,Slay the Spire
I figured the same thing.

everyone is tired to death of tower defense though

Stop making tower defense games.

I don't think people who don't like them play them
and people who like them will search for new ones

>if I take two genres that people are tired of, maybe they won't be tired of my game.

its a niché like porn games or match3 games
people never get tied of them
its like heroin

I'll do it. I'll make a game. You'll see.

Fair enough. As another (?) user suggests, I'll try to make a chibi instead.

This, but for every type of game ever. Focusing on a specific video game genre is A-OK.

Where do normal people go to post progress for their game?
Tumblr? Blog? Do they make a subreddit?
Are there normie communities similar to agdg?

twitter
I still haven't setup mine and I have no idea what to put on my bio or what kind of first posts to make

tumblr, twitter, posting on gamedev forums like tigsource, i've heard facebook used to be in vogue and better for sales than twitter/tumblr but this probably only works in 2nd/3rd world shitholes where normalfags prevail while nerds and sjws are virtually invisible
subreddit or discord would only be useful for someone who already has their own stable following and community

tldr just make a twitter

Tigsource, Tumblr/own blog. Subreddit for larger games mostly.

tumblr, tig if you are a lamedev
wordpress blog in your own domain if you want to look like an actual dev

The popularity of twitter just stumps me, it's the one social medium I just don't get. The site is a counterintuitive clusterfuck and posting there seems like a chore.

>But 3D will have more player appeal.
depends on what type of market i'm gunning for. if you look at a game like dominions they seem have a pretty sizable player base for being mostly 2D
>. Couldn't you just prototype your game with boxes,
maybe but I would still have to test out the animations somehow, no?

alsi just to note if I go the 2D route it would be in lines with Starcraft, Age of empire 2, or Total war Shogun 1. 2D with sprite animations.

Programming autismos always make Tower Defense games, despite no one ever enjoying tower defense.
Still baffles me to this day.

are you kidding? Have you ever used Facebook? Twitter is easy as fuck compared to that shit

It's bad for content posters but good for consuming, which makes it worth using.

*stands up at a towering 1 meter and 70 centimeters*
want to take this outside?

My dick is longer than that. No wonder you have a towering complex.

>people have diferent tastes
>this has always baffle me

No, you misunderstand. Programming autismos who don't play actual games still wnat to make Tower Defense games.
People who like games never play Tower Defense.
What's the reason for this? It makes no sense.

>The popularity of [any "social media" site] just stumps me
>They are a counterintuitive clusterfuck and posting there seems like a chore
This is how I feel. With the added benefit that all of those are also infested with normies.

Tumblr has weird limitations, DA has bad SEO, Twitter is a relic from the SMS era, Facebook is a walled garden with morality police patrolling it...

I like tower defenses

You like the idea of making one. You never play them.

thats because most tower defenses nowadays have casuals as their target audience

I play them all the time moron
I love Kingdom Rush
you do have a point here >People who like games never play Tower Defense.
I don't really love games, I'm very lazy with them. so I just replay what I like

Not him but TDs are probably my most played flash games, and I still play modern ones like gemcraft and such.
