I don't necessarily agree. It depends on the goal of your testing. I think it can absolutely be worth showing your stuff even if it doesnt look the greatest if youre focus testing on a gameplay element in order to decide what should be changed. Constant testing and getting multiple POVs is important from the get go to hone features and keep your vision in check.

Well, I decided to post what I have anyways and get some feedback. A lot of the behaviors were added roughly 2h before this thread was made, so it's buggy, and non-functional and probably not worth your time.
That said, it's only 70 kb, and I would be interesting to know what OS's can run it. I built in on a Windows 7 machine with XNA, and I'd to know if it can work with WinXP SP2 and Windows 10

You can mess around with some of the objects and make a level with a text file, but again, it's mostly not functioning, so I don't expect anyone who downloads this to mess around for more than a few minutes.

Alright here's my demo, Dash Blitz.
http://8agdg.wikidot.com/dash-blitz
https://mega.nz/#!wTwHAJRY!zY7hlH5V5T0ofh3VpP1JeTq4PfXUf2-Hxh3Mfv0jjVA
Made in Unity. I'm trying to make a fast-paced platformer with versus elements. It's not quite a fighting game and I hesitate to call it a "platform fighter", but it's definitely built around fighting other players.
The goal is a game that feels good to handle, and is easy on the eyes. That means clean, simple visuals with no excess bloom and particle effects.
Music is royalty-free filler taken from here: https://www.bensound.com/
Sound effects are very basic, the characters need improvement, I'm fighting a losing battle with the camera and the enemies aren't modeled at all. But as far as gameplay goes it should be pretty clean. I've mainly focused on the movement and making it feel fun, but I've spent so much time with it I might be completely off base in my judgment.
Any feedback you guys can offer would be great.
Oh, and I dumped some loretism on the wiki. Basic synopsis and some character descriptions.
tl;dr I made Mega Man Zero but you can shoot each other and I'm scared to call it Mega Man Zero

Not the best castlevania clone i've played.
you should try nailing the jump physics from an actual classic castlevania game. When you jump forward and push against the momentum you can slow down the momentum to an almost dead halt, this would be nice when going around "corners" while falling down a lot faster. along with holding up/down to look up or down or designing the levels better with better camera placement.

This game is called "Rouge Commander", and it's a 2D game that I was working on so that I have something to show off on Demo Day. I started working on it last week but didn't have time on most of the days to work on it so it didn't have as much time as I would have liked.
You can download it on MEGA:
https://mega.nz/#!oQJTTCpZ!bkOOWdYDr_zUtwUpAD_eb9GDgmK_Aj5YrjLeXquhveo
Inside the zip file is a readme and a compressed executable, the game only takes 225kb because of this.
Level 1 is one of those games where you have a flying thing and it shoots bullets and dodges bullets, I think its a SHUMP. Then level 2 is a platformer but I didn't have any time to program in enemies or finish making the level because I started 11 hours ago on the platformer part. It's still cool though.
I'm normally working on Sigma II, so this was a nice break to take.

why aren't you a g0d gamer like me? all you have to do is double jump on the tail, or if you're a true pro god gamer, manipulate the spawns and intentionally get hit by the flying enemy and jump off that way
0ac2b4 No.13774909
>>13774878
The chandeliers are incredibly deceiving. It looks as if its one of those see-saw puzzles where you have to orient the platform and then make the jump with your increased height, but this actually is not that. The chandelier re-orients itself too quickly for it to function like that.
Instead, you can make the jump normally, but only when the chandelier is in its normal horizontal position. So your goal is to double jump as >>13774888 puts it. First jump on the edge to re-align the chandelier, then jump with the height being acceptable. At the same time, you should try to manipulate the gargoyle spawns; if they spawn whilst you're at chandelier height, they'll block your flight path to the next chandelier. If they spawn when you are at the apex of your jump, then they will spawn well above it, allowing you to make the jump.
Optionally, you can jump into a gargoyle in a specific way and get knockbacked forwards onto the next chandelier. I did this once by accident.
This truly is the dark souls of chandeliers.

The game's called BEELZEBOX. It's an action RPG. I'm trying to re-capture some of the charm of the original Diablo.

The download you want is the DemoDay BeelzeBox.zip. It's a 32 bit build for Windows.
Most of you know how to play typical isometric ARPGs, but for those of you who don't there's a recap on the wiki:

Hope you guys have fun playing this early build. I'll be happy to answer any questions and will accept any criticism. It's likely that if you have a suggestion, I'll be implementing it!

Alright first things first 2 things going on in the picture
>Pausing
First: I didn't realize I paused the game before alt tabbing and though the game was no longer responding to my inputs.
Second: when I pause while sliding down a wall the character moves slightly inside of the wall, circled in purple.
>Wall Kicking
I would like to climb the wall as shown by the red line because its cooler then just wall kicking on one wall, but I can't seem to do it right. When I try to hold; in the pictures case, right then jump then press left to move to the opposite wall it tries to have me do a wall kick as if I was still holding right because I haven't switched to left fast enough.
When I try to press both left and jump at the same time I often times will detach from the wall because I held left long enough to detach. When I try to press them at the same time I also fall off.

Grind Gear Working title, I'm open to suggestions for a better name
This is a is momentum-based 3D Platformer where you play as a robot with a skateboard. The slope physics let you pick up speed going downhill, but make you lose speed going uphill. You have two modes you switch between, skate mode and running mode. In running mode you maintain speed and turn better, but skate mode makes you go faster downhill. Both modes also have special abilities like wall jumping when on foot, or grinding on your skateboard.
The map was thrown together last night so it's pretty messy, but it should give you a feel for the physics.

Guy working on a CUHRAYZEE game with an android waifu fighting robots. Then Nier Automata came out, and he kinda went crazy claiming Nier was a rip-off of his game Note that AAA games are in development for a lot longer than they're announced, so he's 99.99% certainly wrong. He went into a Nier thread, the anons there made fun of him and followed him into the /agdg/ threads, and eventually he disappeared off the internet entirely.

Quite a lot of new stuff compared to what I saw last time. I see you managed to un-retard your spinning enemies while keeping detection and gave them ability to patrol. Nice.
I had one problem though, webm related.
Unfortunately it didn't capture the image beside the cursor but that's not necessary because the problem is with sound. At some point I started hearing some weird sound distortions, something similar to white noise and so on. At first I though you did this on purpose because a super abstract demon from hell or something would appear but then it started to just repeating this fucking banging. The changes in sound you hear are caused by me moving around so the source of this sound is probably corpse of one of the enemies.

Let's not sugar coat it, though.

Possessing enemy's armor while they're still wearing it. Path of Exile has a similar ability where you can animate individual pieces of armor to form your own dully decked out specter, but here you can use the randomized equipment enemy units are wearing against them, this can:
-instastrip your opponent, lowering their defenses/attack power
-stun and damage them by squeezing the armor into itself
-create an armor specter right then and there that acts like a copy of the stripped enemy
Something resembling Fear, but here you fuck with the enemy AI's pathfinding, so they're all still locked onto your character, but have a really hard time navigating towards you. Think Inception/Dr. Strange kind of mindfuck going on in their heads.
Mana manipulation/destabilization. Enemies with little mana fucking explode, while those with big mana pools have it sapped away/cause self harm on casting.
Binding trap mastery. Ropes, ropes and more ropes. Entangle, slow, trip, confuse, choke, and hang niggers. Everything done with individual ropes, good luck calculating all the collision shit.
Portal/multidimensional understanding. Like the other anon suggested, teleport behind bakas, spawn copies of yourself, spawn random shit from random dimensions, put portals underneath your enemies, open portals in front of black holes (use with caution), etc.
I'm not a creative person, I can only copy what others had made and sort of put them together into thematic sets of abilities.

Yeah, tetradev and myself had an email exchange a couple of weeks ago. We didn't get very far because … well … it's best summarized as a situation where two strangers talked past each other until one of them got fed up with it.
I made a lot of assumptions about his motivations which turned out to be wrong. His last response to me made it crystal clear that he wasn't much better in this regard himself. He literally told me what he thought I thought about him at the time, and it was pretty much as wrong as it gets. I supposedly think that he's childish (which I don't), that he's stubborn (which i don't, either), that everything is his fault (which it is not) and that I must have been pretty frustrated and angry at that point, because he refused to bend over and go back to /agdg/ to suck everyone's dick (which is neither how I felt about the situation nor what I wanted him to do in the first place).
I actually wanted to tell him that and see if we could stop putting words in each other's mouths. However, I procrastinated and two weeks after he wrote me his email, I began a hardware upgrade which took two more weeks. After one month has passed, I simply didn't want to bother him again. I thought it would be a little bit weird.

I love how if you play it long enough we get to see that at some point you just decided to slam your hands all over your keyboard to make music. Also, this happened to me while I was trying to jump onto platforms with just the board. For some reason he tilted himself so the board would hit the wall (I guess I was going too slow) and when I took off the board, he stayed like that. Until I jumped. It's really fun, though.

Easiest in terms of what? In terms of programming, its anything that doesn't require much physics imo. IE like the top down zelda games, those probably wouldn't be to hard to get going. Fighting games are hard because in order to make it good it relies so much on timing based on frame count and requires a high level of skill and creativity in terms of actually designing movesets/characters and making moves feel like they have consistent "impact". It's probably easy to make a bad one, but a good one that actually feels right has a lot of tiny little components that make all the difference in the world.

Hey guys, a quick question about UE4 from a noob's perspective.
I'm working on a sandboxey game, and as much as I'm catering to a singleplayer experience, I'm hoping I can add a multiplayer support eventually. Now, the question is - do I have to account for multiplayer from the very beginning, or can it be an afterthought, when most game mechanics are fleshed out? Not having to worry about the difficulty of making multiplayer work at this stage would be a load off my back.

A lot of games have a charm ability that lets you make an enemy an ally, but they don't have a jealousy ability that turns enemies against the charmed enemy. Charm an enemy and have him help you, and when you're done with him, have other enemies focus him down for you. An unwilling agro-magnet.
A necromancer who harvests the souls of fallen enemies and collects them. He can release these souls into allies to heal them, but it causes them great (and random) mental anguish.

Oh I see what's happened with the movement. I don't think I was testing for collision while the game was paused so their position isn't being corrected. I hadn't thought to test that, so thank you.
I wasn't really sure what to do with the wall kicking. I like the options that a single-wall ascent gives the player, but yeah, wall kicking between walls is a lot cooler. In either case there's currently a 5 frame window after moving away from a wall where you can jump, and a 5 frame window after pressing jump where you'll start moving away from the wall regardless of your input. Maybe that's not enough of a window either side - when I test it I usually move away and jump simultaneously.
As for the pausing, I'm just going to need to implement a pause screen. I hadn't gotten around to it but yeah, it's an important thing to have for clarity's sake.
Thanks for the feedback.

This is probably a small thing but you should add a way to get out/exit to the menu; I switched my character to the robot, went back to the tutorial area and got stuck and couldn't use the teleporter to get back to the character and level select screen
I love how you made the robot by the way, everything about it is perfect
Its animations (both idle and relevant ones), aesthetic and satisfaction of using it overall (besides maybe the jump but it had to have some disadvantage, right?)
Baseball bat dude's bat swing felt awkward and the animation looks strange as fuck, like he's hitting with the backswing of the bat than any actual swing
punching dude I didn't get to try out in a practical setting but damn does his range feel small for punches; didn't test projectiles though
Control scheme is overall kinda… I dunno. I played with a keyboard but I figured its probably a lot better on a controller. Just something about it made each key hard to remember for some reason. Maybe it was the fact that there were instructions for both types of keyboards and the controller all in the same tutorial, I dunno
Movement and jumps felt overall decent, dash jumps feel a little hard to execute consistently, wall jumps are pretty nice even if the animations are slightly clunky-feeling
I love hitting these "enemy" things high into the air, very satisfying

Man that's so bizarre.I can't even imagine what it could be. I thought maybe you were on an older gpu or like some integrated thing, but you shouldn't be having any problems. When you jump is the motion smooth and he just walks slow? Or is it jagged?
Because I think it MIGHT be that if your framerate is super high that I messed up somewhere and it's messing with some calculation that i didn't make framerate-independent. Are you on a monitor that goes above 60 fps? That's the last possiblething i can think of.

Sherpa's my favourite character. I wasn't sure if he was going to fit the aesthetic, originally I wanted him to look more mechanical, but I'm glad someone else liked him.
The keyboard controls are shit. I won't sugarcoat it. I really wanted to use the arrow keys and Z X C, but I needed a control scheme that would support two players. I'm not sure what the best layout for that will be, but I'm going to spend today looking into in-game remapping.
Dash jumping would be a lot easier with the right control scheme too, all you need to do is hold the dash while you jump, but with keyboards that's obviously going to take some finesse.
You CAN get back to the lobby by pausing and pressing back (Escape then Backspace), but it could be a lot clearer and I'll be working to add that to the pause menu. For what it's worth the teleporter's a "level complete" stop and you can't use it until you've gotten all the enemies. It's partially a tutorial, partially a time attack challenge.
Also Sherpa can get out of that pit, but it's a little trickier. You need to climb up the right wall, then do a dash jump away to the left wall.
#1 and Rondo definitely need to be tightened up, they're the most complete but they're not done by a long shot. I don't know if I'll be able to get the hitbox on the batter swing right until I clean the animation up, so that's high on the list.
The shooting range is mostly just to test out characters and abilities. You can't actually take damage in the lobby.
You can cancel out projectiles by shooting a projectile of equal charge strength. Alternatively you can bowl over a weaker projectile with a stronger one.
Try dashing after shield-blocking a projectile, too. That's what the Blitz in Dash Blitz refers to.
Thanks again. Have some cute robots.

Best news I've heard all day, anon.
I had considered moving to MonoGame instead of XNA, because they were basically the same thing, but more modern and portable. This meant I would have to upgrade my .NET version, my VS version, and a few other things that would leave me without XP support.
Anyways, I've mostly blown away whatever code I had, started over, and I'm gonna fucking kill it next demo day

Well if the basic information for the summary was prepared in advance (just ask people on AGDG in the weeks leading up to it) it wouldn't matter when you started, you'd just post what I suggested. Then the devs could show up whenever they wanted to post more info or answer questions. You'll also want this to be a Demo weekend (starting on Friday), rather than a day, because the nature of timezones means some will lose out if you only run for 24 hours.

I'm primarily cloning a game called SubTerra (http://crystalshard.net/), a game from 2003 which itself was an extension of games like CC, Boulderdash, etc.
Yes, gates (and ports) are supposed to let you travel through them but only if the other side is completely empty. Because I didn't set up a good way to handle behaviors beforehand, I had to basically throw code at it in the last hour and hoped it worked. It didn't.
The game currently runs at 60 fps, with a tickrate of 1.0. I eventually want to change it so that "one step" is 60 ticks, and takes about half a second, or less. For reference, you are currently moving at 20t, or 3 tiles per second. I can speed it up a bit more, and add options of course.

Then whenever they're awake the devs can reply to the post that mentions their game with more details, answer feedback etc any dev who missed out on the preparation for the event can also post their stuff in the thread. You'd then keep it running until Sunday because otherwise anons who got feedback from someone in a different timezone wouldn't have a chance to respond (perhaps making a new thread if the first gets full) and archive your threads when it finishes (just save them and upload them to volafile, mega or catbox and maybe use archive.io too).

Nobody expected the people that put out the Daicon films, Hoennaise, Nadia and Gunbuster to put out a "normal" mecha show. NGE just gave them more room for experimentation than a movie or OVA and their financial crunch led to slightly stranger work than usual.

The primary purpose of a game is to be fun.
Gameplay > graphic design > sound design > music > story
A good example of that is Portal 2. The story is simple as fuck, but the gameplay was novel enough to people who haven't played the original Portal. The rest was supplemented by the absolutely fucking superb sound design, art and music.

IMO music is as important if not moreso than graphic design. If you think about all the most memorable games, the music is among the first things that people recall. When you say Mario, the original theme is one of the very first things that pops into mind. Same thing with Castlevania, or Megaman etc. The music is incredibly important if you want to leave a lasting impression, second only to the gameplay imo.

I really dig this and I think it's got a lot of potential. I love the skateboard mechanics and how simple it is to transition between states. It reminds me more of Tribes than Sonic.
My only real complaint would be that the standard acceleration and speed are a bit low. It makes you feel fast when you're going fast, sure, but it can make navigation less fun and it affects the platforming. That's just my two cents though.
I also ran into a couple oddities, not sure if you're aware of them but I figured I'd share some webms. Seems like you need to reset the player's rotation at low speeds.
Also for some reason you can buffer actions on the pause screen. So if you press B in pause, the skateboard sound will start and unpausing will start you off on the board.
Otherwise loved it.

Going through a loop on foot is pretty buggy at the moment. The reason is that when you press forward on your controller it tells the character to move forward relative to the camera. When you start going up the loop the camera's forward direction will be pointing at the loop's "floor" so he'll start trying to run back to that spot.
Buffering actions in the pause menu, is because the game technically doesn't pause, time just slows to a crawl. It was a hack to get a pause menu in time for demo day.
As for acceleration, top speed, and other things that affect the feel of the game like turning radius all need tuning. I probably will turn acceleration up though.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it!

I enjoyed this, but it was quite difficult to use the keyboard for it. Was it designed with a controller in mind? Also, dashing doesn't work like it does in Mega Man X/Zero. In Mega Man games dashing is its own distinct action that you can use to segue into others, but it seems like your version just increases the character's movement speed, which means that it only activates if the character was already moving. Do you have plans for what you'll do art-wise?

Fixes it in wine too. Fuck yeah. Aside from the chandelier confusion, I noticed that the blue brick foreground tiles didn't stand out enough in certain areas. This is a common issue with indie games. It needs to contrast with the background enough for the player to know it is solid and safe to walk on. This enemy here is also hard to see at low resolution, but more visible at higher resolution.
Here's a bug as well: when you pause the demo and a bat is onscreen, it doesn't stop moving in whatever y direction it was previously moving in, so it just moves in a straight line offscreen. All in all, you're doing good. Keep it up. I hope you get some cool music to go with it.

Yeah the keyboard controls were very much a last minute thing, all my testing has been with a gamepad. I wanted to have Z/X/C/A/Shift for action buttons and arrow keys for movement like how I used to emulate Zero but I had to compensate for multiplayer.
I spent all of last night overhauling my input code, so now I go over Unity's head completely. Working on the pause screen now and the logistical nightmare that remapping will be. I'll set up a couple presets as well.
And it turns out I completely forgot how dashing worked. Whoops. I thought it was fine but I can see why keyboard controls would benefit from a one-button dash.
As far as art goes, I'm as amateur as amateur gets. I'm originally a writefag so I've been learning everything from scratch the past couple years.
The characters are reasonably close to what I'm after, though the models themselves need work, but the levels and white-box-enemies are obviously filler. The current goal is to keep visuals mono-colour with low detail, making sure characters pop out of the background no matter what colour they take. It hides the rough low-poly models a bit. As an added bonus it's really easy to change their colour/transparency on the fly, and it's kind of grown on me anyway.
I'd love to have made something more like your gif, my second idea would've been cel shading, but all this still escapes me.
Originally I wanted to do sprites, which I'm more comfortable with, but I knew I wasn't going to be able to make something on par with Mega Man. Pic 1 is some of the spritework I drafted up. I've never had a knack for animating characters. I only learned sprites to make autistic comics.

It's actually a spelling error, but you have to be the third person or something to think that it's really a subtle joke. Some people thought I was using "rouge" like the color red, which implies that the title could also be read as "red commander" as well as rogue commander, which is how it's supposed to be spelled.
Also, someone thought that when I misspelled "communism" on the game over screen that it was also a hilarious joke and not me being bad at spelling too.
The reason I didn't bother is because I have to do some crap with a hex editor every time I want to get a new version of the image baked into my exe.

>>13804085
I could be wrong, since it's been eons since I've had to use those, but if you start with an x and y that aren't whole numbers, (let's say 0.25) and the slope increases x and y by a consistent amount (let's say 1,) wouldn't that yield only x and y values which have that same offset as the original x and y? You'd get both a x and y points of 0.25, 1.25, 2.25, 3.25, etc. The same would work with 0.5, and it'd be 0.25, 0.75, 1.25, 1.75, 2.25, 2.75, etc.

That question is absolutly retarded, but if math isn't your forte I can give it a pass.
The function you're looking for is:
y = x + b
where b is any non whole number.
If you need to change the gradient
y = mx + b can work but there's a relationship between m and b you have to avoid but I cant remember what it is right now.
