First for uh…

IF YOU DON'T MAKE YOUR DREAM GAME THEN WHO WILL

make a rpg rpg

>>13780164

Yeah I don't think there will be anything lewd anytime soon. I was more talking about what to do as a virtual companion. As in some type of simulation where I can just come back from work, put my headset on and have her run to me and say Tadaima. Ever seen Big Screen where you it's not really a game but more of a hub to do shit in like play actual games? I wanna make something like that with her being a sort of background interactible character.

>>13780172

Looks like she has a beard. Do this to fix your morph targets: Go to any shape key after the first one and highlight everything. Then press Space Bar -> Blend from Shape. Then on the little left hand side menu (which you can open with T), where it says "Blend from Shape Key" uncheck the "Add". This effectively resets your entire shape key to zero. Now you can try pulling and tugging the shape key to be better. Use proportional editing with O so you pull multiple vertices at the same time. Even if you are going to pay some fag for modeling, and especially if you are going to undertake a daunting model heavy task like a porn game, you need to familiarize yourself with model editing because you will be doing A LOT of tweaking.

>>13780222

Go to object mode and press Alt+R, Alt+G, Alt+S. This resets the scales, positions it at (0,0,0), and clears rotation. Whenever you export stuff, make sure you don't have any object transformations like that. That probably causes the stretching.

t. I do it for a living

>>13780234

>Looks like she has a beard

Yeah that's a problem with the model, for some reason it's there without textures, however it's hard to see if I do apply textures to it

>Go to any shape key after the first one and highlight everything

I can't seem to highlight every shape at once with shift or CTRL

>Go to object mode and press Alt+R, Alt+G, Alt+S. This resets the scales, positions it at (0,0,0), and clears rotation.

This didn't work

>>13780260

>I can't seem to highlight every shape at once with shift or CTRL

Well I meant the vertices. Select one and then tab into it and highlight everything with A. Then do the thing. Alternatively you can just delete that shape key and then make a new one with the + button. Then if you want to mirror one shape key like the left eye for the right eye, select the right eye shape key in the shape key list and go to the black triangle and select mirror shape key. Model must be symmetrical.

>>13780276

That made it even worse. I also already tried starting from scratch and that also didn't work.

> especially if you are going to undertake a daunting model heavy task like a porn game

Literally just need one model, I'm not making a 3D porn game, it's supposed to be a visualisation of the character while the rest is 2D.

Also I might've found a temporary fix, there seem to be empty shape keys that do nothing, if I set those to a negative number every time I add to the other shape keys it corrects the weird scaling.

>>13780234

>I was more talking about what to do as a virtual companion

make like a bunch of minigames for her to do that you can help with

I'm assuming the setting is like a cabin or a house or something

for example:

>gardening

>cooking (using stuff from gardening) [possibly have her "taste test" dishes]

>basic furniture building game (look up game "home improvisation")

>fishing

>hunting

>drawing

You may even want to make some neural net stuff so she "learns" from each encounter; you could have it rigged so she prompts you (for example, in a drawing minigame) with an "ouput" (a drawing) and you get to select how "good" it is, which contributes to the neural net

>>13780234

Feeding her donuts or maybe food in general is probably a must. I'd also think about just sitting in some kind of way - maybe side by side, her on your lap, sitting while holding hands…

>>13780335

Procedural drawing can only go wrong, the question's whether it's funny or nightmarish.

how do you draw millions of tiles in a performant way?

>>13780654

>millions of tiles

Too vague.

>>13780654

By not drawing millions of them. Cull/Clip as many as possible.

>>13780654

you question is super vague… do u mean 2D, 3D?

Why do u need millions?

The basics of it is to use a spatial data structure.

u never need to draw all of them at once, only those that aren't occluded (via terrain, objects, etc) and that are in the camera frustum (frustum culling) + view distance (distance culling, usually fog or super low poly at that distance)

>>13780665

>>13780668

>>13780670

How does AoE for example draw its tiles?

>>13780685

I get the feeling that you're underestimating just how many "millions" actually is.

>>13780635

That export option for deform bones only is exactly what I was looking. Also, I just checked and trouble I had with animation and was due to compression in Unity. Thanks, man.

As for the rigging, I'm not making anything crazy yet, just trying to do a basic humanoid rig for now.

>>13780709

I'm glad it helped, anon

Also in blender make sure to disable the "stretch" option for your IK constraints, as it scales the bones, and causes issues within Unity (unity doesn't like it if u scale bones, which the stretch IK option automatically does).

>>13781149

not usually, no.

only case where this is reasonable is when the scene is fairly complex, but as you mentioned they're fairly empty scenes.

make sure you're not getting warnings, like debug logs, and other warnings; it'll cause massive frame drops.

>>13781174

It's still telling me that my game is running at 60+fps, but the whole thing seems slow and jittery.

And now I did nothing and it went back to being fine. What the fuck is happening

>>13780670

fucking illiterate piece of shit monkey get out of here

>>13781185

may not be unity itself (maybe OS side or something), or it could be the point of unity running a lot of frontend stuff w/C# which is a managed language (though all of the "under the hood" stuff is C++); so it may of been garbage collecting or something engine side without telling u.

It happens though, sometimes u just need to restart it, as Unity is a bit bloated in consideration of the expansive editor functionality (this is nullified when compiled for distribution though).

>>13781265

I gave it a restart and it seems fine.

Dunno, weird.

>>13781392

I really like that logo, although I think it should incorporate the ∞.

I have an idea …

>>13781392

It's a good logo, looks too much like 4chan's clover though.

>>13781398

The logo looks great actually, good job, but unfortunately it looks like the cuckchan clover.

Nice triggers, and the lift + door animations are smooth too.

>>13781392

>>13781422

I like it, too. But I also agree that it looks too much like halfchan's clover.

I tried connect the A and the second G into the infinity symbol, but it didn't work out. It breaks the symmetry of the silhouette and just looks off.

>>13781398

>>13781392

though u can make it two infinity symbols, w/slightly more spacing between the letters, and it'd be distinct enough from a clover symbol.

>>13781437

Your posts aren't worth reading. Stop shitting up this thread.

>>13781406

>>13781431

Yeah I can see that too, which is a shame. Joining the a-g for the infinity works but makes the rest of it awkward.

>>13781437

You mean using the outline to form the infinities?

>>13779571

I wanna fuck ur waifu tbh

>>13781483

I think the discussion started because some anons were concerned about putting it in their game since whoever did the original didn't specifically make it open license. Personally I don't like the potential that my game will get associated with a community I left for a reason.

>>13781500

That feels too off-balance for me. I'll fuck around with it and see if I can come up with any other suggestions after some food.

>>13781547

Yeah I tried with AG connected but you end up having to push the other G and D out which makes it look wonky. Unless I'm misunderstanding you.

>>13780222

Ugh, thicker

>>13780685

Like another anon said, by not drawing them as much as possible. You only draw the ones that are currently on screen. And since you're asking, I assume you're going to make your own engine which is pretty stupid if you have to ask questions like this one, but I digress. In that case you want to draw one type of tile at a time, it's faster to send a texture to your GPU once and draw it in a thousand positions on your screen than it is to send a thousand textures and drawing them once.

>>13781571

Close enough for me.

>>13781728

this looks fine to me. It's a butterfly.

Thoughts on ECS?

>>13781780

Try a regular square grid first, experiment with different cell sizes a bit, then try AABB trees if grid proves to be too slow.

>>13781845

I wanna be part of /agdg/ without, where can I join this epic new gayming culture influencers?

>>13781869

>>13781818

This tbh.

One of the primary motivations I had for starting to work on my game was how cancerous the entire western entertainment industry became precisely because of the politicization. That and how it somehow manages to keep getting more and more exploitative toward both, developers and customers.

>>13781909

The second one looks good, but it's going to attract some

>rotated pixels

response.

>>13781909

I think it looks too simple. It reminds me of those """retro""" 2d indie games that just look cheap.

>>13781869

>>13781924

There's nothing wrong with a tiny subtle funny in the logo. It's not like the public will think of anything out of fullchan is anything less, anyway.

>>13781869

Agreed.

>>13781945

Yeah, its a unique little spin and the logo is the best so far. Hardly politicization if you ask me

>>13781933

>>13781938

I'm mostly trying to suggest ways of arranging the letters, I don't have any fancy fonts. Used pixels since it works better than arial bold.

I personally do love >>13781818 though, so if there's not too many people bothered about the clovery shape and swastika I'd suggest w roll with that one.

>>13781965

We're hitting levels of indie pixelshit that shouldn't be possible.

>>13781981

Have your (You), Anon. (You) deserve it.

Jokes aside, I have another idea that I think will be good. It will be quite different from the halfchan one, too. However, it'll take me a couple of minutes to not look shit.

>>13781818

This is fucking amazing, I vote for this with every ounce of my soul.

>>13782005

Do something completely different to contrast the work, like exercising / lifting, and don't work on anything gamedev related for at least a week, it really helped for me

>>13782015

Sounds like a good idea. I think I'm gonna start working out daily again.

>>13782005

>What do I do?

You already know the answer, you probably just want reinforcement that your answer is a good one.

Take a break

>>13781973

i love it too, but it's too political for me.

politically related banter, and jokes are fine; though I don't want to even tangentially politicize agdg due to me not wanting it in my vidya as this anon mentions >>13781924

>>13781945

>It's not like the public will think of anything out of fullchan is anything less

most have no idea fullchan exists, nor will they ever, but everyone knows about the swastika, and it's strongly culturally enforced (((implications))); they will not get that it's a joke.

>>13782025

If the creator had never pointed out the middle, I think it would've been a couple of hours before anyone noticed. The logo is fine.

>>13782021

>>13782031

I'm just afraid that I'm going to drift away from this shit and not do it for way longer than I intend to. I don't trust myself to be responsible and return to work when my break is over, that's why I'm afraid of taking breaks. I've had this commitment problem since I was a kid, always picking up new hobbies and dropping old ones out of boredom. It's been a few years now that I've settled on that vidya is something I want to revolve my life around, but I've taken a long time being an irresponsible sack of shit and slacking off. Now that I've been grinding for a while, I'm afraid of drifting away from it.

>>13782031

Not anons your replied to but imagine doing these kind of game and being a beginner at the same time…delusional

>>13782045

>delusional*

I mean scary, not delusional.

Sorry

>>13782031

This shit drives me up a wall. You could do it in an x-com like fashion where you have to maintain, loan, and build robots, while maintaining oceanside defenses. Build smaller tanks and mecha to help you fight and train up pilots and shiet.

Why is it not a thing? The only thing that got close was earth defense force.

>>13782035

>8/v/

If "hardly anyone knows about fullchan" then what's there to be scared of? Unless you go out of your way to namedrop this place, only we'll know it's an fullAGDG project. Quit being such a scaredy-cat.

>>13782063

colonized*

>>13782063

Doesn't it still look a bit too much like a 4-leaf clover?

>>13782043

If you've been having the kind of mental reaction you described earlier, it sounds like forcing yourself is just going to make you burn out even worse. If you're afraid of never returning, try creating a schedule that has more breaks than working, and when you slowly start to feel able to work longer, change the schedule to have a bit more work. Continue until you feel it fits right. Trust in yourself. You can do anything.

>>13782085

Yes, it does.

>>13782065

I specifically said that I object to it on a level of self-identification, not because of what anyone else thinks.

>then what's there to be scared of?

>Quit being such a scaredy-cat.

Don't mischaracterize my argument. I'm concerned that it codifies for ourselves the attitude and behavior of non-stop political injection that exists both here and at large. It's cancer.

>>13782124

Then don't self-identify with fullchan's agdg. It's that easy. It's not like you can't keep anonymously posting questions about your game and we'd never know who you are, unless you pop off screenshots.

>>13782143

>SVG

>High-DPI Versions

>CC0

Good job anon

>>13782142

I can't tell if you're not understanding me, or I'm not understanding you. Why should anyone have to stop affiliating with our /agdg/ because of political opinion? Are you arguing that politics should be an intrinsic part of us?

>>13782162

I'm arguing that I think the logo is aesthetically pleasing, funny for its subtle humor, and that you can do anything you like.

>>13782162

The logo is not political, being this easily offended is.

>>13782142

You've completely misunderstood their argument.

>>13782172

>asking questions == offended

wat?

You're jumping to conclusions that aren't implied, and are seeing something that isn't there, anon.

A civil discussion is taking place.

>The logo is not political

It is, let me explain.

It's the symbolic implications, anon.

Think of it this way, if someone made the agdg logo incorporate a sickle and a hammer, in the communist fashion, is it still "not political". Does it not symbolize communism? If so, how does it not?

Symbolism is a really basic concept, and is seen everywhere in life; I just think you don't want to see that it is objectively definable as politicized.

>>13782165

I agree on all of those points. My concern is with the context around the logo, not the design itself. We're not closing a pool here. There's real weight to the symbol at the moment.

>>13782172

Arguing that something may be a bad idea is far cry from being offended.

>>13782172

>attach what is probably the most politically divisive symbol ever created to your logo

>it's not political tho

Am I being trolled?

>>13782310

It's not attached to it. It just happens to be there when you turn the letters into a continuous knot.

>>13779268

Yoko Taro :^)

>>13782055

there's a mech x-com like gayme coming out or so I've heard, forgot what it's called though

>>13782598

To add to that, i want to switch to unique_ptr and the double pointer clusterfuck won't work with that.

>>13782585

That's perfect

>>13782585

tbh I'd like to see something different with the logo rather then just a reimagining of the current

>>13782598

>>13782622

If I understand you correctly, you probably want to just store your 'lowest' type pointer, e.g. Sprite*. If you need to pass it to an interface that takes a Drawable*, it will just accept your Sprite* because the compiler will know that Sprite is derived from Drawable, and thus implicitly (up-)cast it to Drawable*.

>>13782706

Yes, but i want to be able to store not just Sprite* but also Texture* and Shape* in that same pointer, as they all behave the same. It would be like a double-interface pointer, pretty sure that does not exist though.

>>13782364

It may not have been deliberate, but the original creator was the one who pointed it out so it's not just in everyone's head.

Anyway, as long as it's not too big of a departure from the old logo I think it will be fine I'm pretty obstinate to be honest. It would be cool to use/see it used in some games in the future.

>>13782924

>you're not talking your way out of this

like they've never heard of the bullshit mde went through bcs of (((pure rumors)))

>new design

definitely distinguishable enough to not look like a clover, and looks better than the previous iterations imo.

colors may need to be slightly changed though, they look over saturated

>>13782946

the dots look neat, but best not to over complicate it; it detracts from the design

>>13782924

>And I'm not putting a version with a swastika in the middle of it in there for a simple reason. It's enough for one SJW on twitter to notice and tip off someone at Polygon or Kotaku for infinite amounts of shit to be coming my way

That is a reasonable explanation, and your version looks good as well, but i think you have to flip the d, that one looks like a b. A (non-capital) b has its bulge on the right side, a d on the left.

>>13782955

Just to clarify it definitely wasn't deliberate but I thought it was a funny coincidence. If you guys want me to upload a zip for inverted knots, just let me know.

>>13782924

There are those little indents around the G's, making that area not smooth and circular. I think that those should be filled out.

Also I agree with this about the b/d >>13782976

>>13782924

>Caring about Polygon and Kotaku's opinions on your's or any of our games

If you don't want that particular symbol in your game, fine. Don't use that one, and use the one you made. Honestly, I like it though. I think it fits great. It's a continuous knot, which mirror's fullchan's infinity symbol, and I think the accidental swastika in the middle is ironic, in the fact that that's obviously how we will be seen by anyone who "knows" about fullchan.

I've been playing with the physics of the player for my game based on feedback I've gotten, and I'm playing around with adding an item that greatly increases the players air mobility for a few seconds in exchange for some resources. It's pretty fun to play with, you can do all kinds of tricks to get past platforming sections with it. The downside is you have no ranged attacks if you're using this.

Anyone know why I can't post webms or mp4s by the way? It just sits at 100% forever. Didn't do this till recently but I've tried cookie clearing and no luck.

>>13782924

>>13782946

I think both of these are pretty cool tbh.

>>13783109

When you do a standing jump in a classic castlevania game, you can't move backwards, that makes no sense, it's suppose to divide your current movement not negate it to the point where it goes backwards.

<adding a downside to an item when all of the other items don't have downsides

this is the most modern game / indie retard i've seen.

>>13783105

>Aren't those colors derived from some autism logo?

Controller buttons.

>>13782799

Ah I see. A struct like you have now but with two unique_ptrs should still work. But, you might want to consider separating them into containers. One for Textures and one for Drawables. (Perhaps manager classes to manage adding/getting/removing.)

The benefit of separating Texture from Drawables (Sprite/Shape), is that you get more control over their lifetime and can more easily re-use the same texture. That helps especially if you want to use a spritesheet, animation sheet or tilesheet.

A sprite doesn't really need to know about the texture once its set through setTexture, so it doesn't actually need a pointer to it as long as you can still access and destroy it from somewhere else.

>>13783170

>rustle some jimmies

>can't handle an accidental swastika in the logo

You are a piece of work, Anon.

I've pretty much got all the fine details of my game nailed down but can't decide on a visual style. I'm currently thinkng of going with either 8 or 16 bit graphics, (actual 8/16 bit like in Pokemon Gen 1/2 and Chrono Trigger, not whatever eye vomit passes for it among journos today). The game's a turn-based rpg with a first-person battle view, so this would mostly be for the overworld graphics. (Also I could make these myself instead of having to pay someone for more complicated spritesets, 16 bit is the limit of my ability with creating visuals.)

>>13783134

What do you mean by adding a downside to an item? I'm talking about in the sense that if you're holding this item, you can't be holding a ranged weapon at the same time. All the other items are ranged weapons, this one is more of a powerup. It's like the flame ring in Ninja Gaiden 2 vs the other items. Powerup vs ranged. Thats the tradeoff. Not sure if that was clear enough.

And In Castlevania IV you CAN move backwards after a standing jump. Not very much, but you can do it. Like I said, I'm playing around with some changes to the system. Earlier I had it like in Castlevanias 1 through 3. No controlled air movement at all. But most people who've played the game don't seem to like that at all. So I'm considering changes.

>>13783178

It's not the same thing though. If some estronaut on Twitter calls me out for being a closet gamergator, I can just correct xir by pointing out that I'm actually an open supporter of it. That's something I can stand by.

>>13783189

Have you ever posted anything here showcasing the mechanics?

>>13783170

MERCI DOCTEUR

>>13783218

I'm trying to go with something SMT styled for combat. The player can hire mercenaries for extra muscle, though they'll act on their own. Each major area has a party member but in order for them to join permanently you'll need to beat the area boss and clear some of the area sidequests.

>>13783222

>Can you have two unique_ptrs to the same object?

hmm probably with some hack, but obviously that goes against the whole concept of unique_ptrs.

I meant something like:

struct TexturedSprite
{
unique_ptr<Sprite> sprite;
unique_ptr<Texture> texture;
};

but yeah, sounds like it wouldn't work with your ECS.

>>13782553

Too soon.

>>13783314

>>13783222 (check)

Couldn't you just make a union datatype? I'm not sure how the C++ type system works, but if their interfaces are identical, you could try declaring

union TexturedSprite
{
unique_ptr<Sprite> sprite;
unique_ptr<Texture> texture;
};

and then using TexturedSprite everywhere.

>>13783367

Yeah, but a Texture is not the same as a Sprite, so they shouldn't point to the same location. A Sprite is a class that represents a textured rectangle, and uses a Texture once set by setTexture.

>>13783218

>Scared of Kotaku's and Polygon's shit they'll pin on you

>But will happily proclaim you're a part of GG

I have no idea what is going on in your brain, but the minute you say you're a part of GG, the people who are going to hate you and say shit about your game, regardless of its quality, will still hate you whether or not our logo has a WHOOPS swastika in it. They berate you and your game simply for being a part of fullchan. Honestly, my mentality goes as this: I don't care what people think, I don't care about popularity, I just want to make something fun. I will put in what I think is good, what I think is funny, and what I think is fun, regardless of the shitters that will say otherwise. Stop being scaredy-cats of people who cry, curse, and moan over tiny things that might offend someone. Fuck.

>>13783416

To add to that and clarify:

union would mean both of those pointers are stored in the exact same memory. This would be bad first of all for what I said above, and secondly if used with unique_ptr, when both unique_ptrs are destroyed they will both try to deallocate the same memory. When initializing them, one would already overwrite the other. Don't know if it would already crash there, but it's definitely not something you want.

>trying to figure out some resource loading on my own game (XNA)

Is this overdoing it

>>13783818

It's not that I don't like it (I do, quite, in fact), but the real question is whether it can be stylized for Anons to put it in 2d games. The old logo and the other proposed ones are quite easy to translate into pixel art. With this one, I'm not sure. Then again, I'm no pixel artist.

>>13781481

She's mine bro.

>>13783813

>than to go out of our way to use a logo that may or may not cause our yesdevs headaches in the future

Headaches will come to us regardless because we are a part of "the internet's worst." Simply by saying you associate with this website in general will have certain people barking at you that you're a bigot and your game is shit because of that. Having an aesthetically pleasing logo with a funny accident in the middle won't make things any less of a headache. They will find something else to pin on you as "proof" that your game is shit. It's how that community rolls. And because of that, why care what they have to say either way? They will bitch one way or another.

>>13783433

I say you go for it, and hell, get a shirt with it and wear it to your workplace.

Personally, I'm going to be smart about it, and avoid the headaches it would cause.

Though, I have my real identity tied to my games; which I doubt you will eventually have as your stance is one with the armor of anonymity.

Also, there's a difference between "guilt by association", and "guilt by proof"; the latter being condemning in the eyes of otherwise reasonable people, but the former is fine.

>>13783935

Honestly, I think I could put it on a t-shirt and no one would notice. That's the hilarity of the whole thing.

>I'm going to be smart about it

<Translation: I'm going to be a scaredy-cat and never admit my values to anyone out of fear of rejection or worse.

>>13783953

And anyway if you don't want it to be associated with the Nazi swastika just turn it 45 degrees. It looks more like a Celtic knot anyway.

>>13783870

I agree completely, which is part of why I declared it a miss.

A butterfly is a relatively complex shape unless you just abstract it all the way down to two trapezoids and two antennae. That was the motivation for removing the speckles. Smoothing the wings would be the next step, but there's no matter what's done, it'd be difficult to express the vein letters in pixel art without it being close up.

Of course, that's completely ignoring the question of why it's even a butterfly in the first place, and there's not a particularly good one. The real reason is just because it was something different. 8ch (actually ∞chan) has a lot of symbolism relating to its namesake, and connections to symbols which relate to it, like the mobius strip and the oroborous. There's also a focus on themes like evolution, change, chaos as a form of potential, life/death, and rebirth. The butterfly is also somewhat related to those concepts in that it's the final form of a metamorphosis, or, the thing which armatures are not, but are striving to be. It's a tenuous connection, but it's there. I just like butterflies, man.

>>13783910

Nobody said you couldn't. The objection was just that it shouldn't be adopted in any "official" capacity, at least as much as anything can be official around here.

>>13783967

Jesus anon you're so naive.

It's about the headaches it'll cause, which are completely unnecessary, but you should go for it.

Also, I don't like extremism at all, be it any side; so no it's not my views.

>>13783416

I don't know jack about shit regarding whatever framework this is. If the Sprite and the Texture don't share identical interfaces, then you probably shouldn't put them together in a union without some sort of type-checking code. But if they have identical interfaces, or one has an interface that's a subset of the other, you could probably use a union just fine (as long as the parts outside of the shared subset aren't needed or used).

>>13783438

>union would mean both of those pointers are stored in the exact same memory.

No, it means that the data at that memory address can be interpreted as either form of data. For example, you can make a union of a 32-bit integer, or an array of 4 characters:

union IntArray {
int anInteger;
char[4] charArray;
};

The data at that address will be treated as an integer when you address it as anInteger, or an array of 4 characters if you address it with charArray. If you create a union of the Sprite and Texture, it'll coerce the contained structure to be a Sprite when you use the sprite name, and vice versa.

>when both unique_ptrs are destroyed they will both try to deallocate the same memory.

The point of a union is that there will only ever be one unique_ptr stored in the union at a time. You could also move the abstraction down a level and make the TexturedSprite a union of Sprites and Textures, then use unique_ptr<TexturedSprite> in the code.

All these italics make me feel like im reading a popular Stackoverflow question.

>>13784042

Thank you anon, but my ECS copies structs which ruins the entire idea of using unique pointers unless you know how i would circumvent that.

>>13783967

>Honestly, I think I could put it on a t-shirt and no one would notice.

Unless we literally never discuss the swastika again, and no one mentions it again, and this thread dies without being archived, I imagine that the swastika will end up consuming everyone's view of the design and will be the main talking point if it ever receives (((press))). Considering the masses believe that anyone on the chans, especially 8chan, is a filthy Nazi, there's no reason to encourage them further. It would be like reacting to everyone calling you an otaku by buying a body pillow and never leaving your house. Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

Regardless, I agree with >>13783953 and >>13783996. There's no reason to have only one logo. Although I think we should replace the old 4chan one for legal concerns, as long as the logos are posted publicly and released as public domain/CC0, you should be able to make whatever logo you'd like. Let people decide on their own which logo they like, there's no reason to force the One True Logo down other people's throats.

>>13784039

There's a difference between "I'm not using this logo because I don't have any political opinions" and "I'm not using this logo because I want to keep my political opinions separate from my hobby and/or profession."

>>13784065

What are you using? Is it open-sourced? I could take a look at it and see if I can make heads or tails of it.

>>13784116

>there's no reason to encourage them further.

I honestly don't understand the obsession with outside opinions. How frail are you people? What are you wanting fullchan to be seen as? Why do you even care?

>>13784116

Well, I guess you can make an argument for only having one logo. That way we know whether a game was made by one of our guys or not. Then again, we have a wiki…

>>13784042

>No, it means that the data at that memory address can be interpreted as either form of data.

Right, this is true and a more correct way of putting it.

>>when both unique_ptrs are destroyed they will both try to deallocate the same memory.

I realize my mistake in saying this now. It's indeed wrong, I didn't think clearly about it when I wrote it. My bad.

>>13784116

>Considering the masses believe that anyone on the chans, especially 8chan, is a filthy Nazi,

…it wouldn't make a difference if our logo was a literal nazi flag :^)

>>13784116

>What are you using? Is it open-sourced? I could take a look at it and see if I can make heads or tails of it.

Yes, it's this one:

https://github.com/redxdev/ECS

It's just one .h file, the critical part is this one as far as i can see, line 877+:

		template<typename T>
		struct ComponentContainer : public BaseComponentContainer
		{
			ComponentContainer() {}
			ComponentContainer(const T& data) : data(data) {}

			T data;

		protected:
			virtual void destroy(World* world)
			{
				using ComponentAllocator = std::allocator_traits<World::EntityAllocator>::template rebind_alloc<ComponentContainer<T>>;

				ComponentAllocator alloc(world->getPrimaryAllocator());
				std::allocator_traits<ComponentAllocator>::destroy(alloc, this);
				std::allocator_traits<ComponentAllocator>::deallocate(alloc, this, 1);
			}
		};

Compiler highlights the constructor of this struct, it's some sort of internal wrapper for the "components" which are just structs.

>>13783818

I am for logos like this one, pretty much all our imagery is based around not being halfchan which ultimately ends up drawing more similarities between the two sites

red anon, red clover, nano instead of yotsuba

>>13784431

I hereby dedicate >>13782946 to the public domain as much as I can due to the fact that it is a minimal remix of another person's design.

>>13784431

The zip he uploaded here >>13782143 contains a CC0 license, so yes

>>13784431

Well, I was just spitballing concepts, not trying to make a final version, so the ones I made used clipart as a basis, which presumably belongs to someone else, and the other anon's lettering. If a logo concept can be released to public domain, then I hereby do so. If not, then I'll have to draw my own butterfly and infinity symbol, remake them, then release it. Or someone else can. I'm not the boss of you.

>>13784431

my logo was a complete shitpost mocking the other logos, so sure, put it in CC0

>>13784128

>I honestly don't understand the obsession with outside opinions.

When CNN is willing to extort a guy using his dox for posting a shitty Trump meme, I feel there's some wisdom in not doing things that will draw the ire of (((the establishment))), especially in the current political climate. Suggesting we should use the swastika in our branding is like suggesting to a Salem secret society that they should wear witch hats and robes, and saying their discomfort with being burnt at the stake makes them "frail."

>>13784232

I'll take a look at it, but I make no promises.

>>13784586

>I'll take a look at it, but I make no promises.

Thank you anon, it's appreciated either way

I actually just realized this, and looked it up to be sure. The negative-space swastika in >>13781818 is a "Sauwastika" aka left facing swastika. The Nazi swastika is right facing ha. Using a Sauwastika makes it even more Buddhist, using a clockwise 45 degree turn gives good plausible dependability if that's what you want.

Having a Buddhist symbol is fitting as the endless cycle of suffering and rebirth core to Buddhism is an apt metaphor for amateur game development.

tbh then ouroboros is more fitting for that analogy tbh tbh tbh

>>13784699

The ouroboros is more overt in its symbolism, but we already have a sauwastika in the logo most people in this thread like.

>>13784732

well change it to MY liking then you poopy coderface tbh

i'm not a mathematics/physics guy, in fact I'm terrible at those things, however I still have that learning fever.

anyways, on the contrary I actually know a lot about rigging, 3d modeling, design and so on, but I have no fucking clue how to even make a vidya.

>>13784732

A sauwistika is like two infinite symbols

>>13784866

I would suggest switching the G and D, since the colors encourage you to read them together.

>>13784813

We have a beginner's guide in the OP. >>>/agdg/29080

>i'm not a mathematics/physics guy

When you're first starting out, you don't need to know about mathematics beyond very basic algebra, or physics beyond the basic principles of animation.

>but I have no fucking clue how to even make a vidya.

You'll need to pick an engine, download it, and start watching tutorials for it. Which engine you should pick will depend on what kind of games you want to make. Since you're from a modeling background, I'm assuming that you want to make 3D games to use your models in, and since you don't have programming experience, your best bet is probably Unity, which is the most babby-friendly 3D engine. (Anyone know how Godot's 3D is doing?) Alternatively, you could pick up a 2D engine like GameMaker (pirate it) for maximum ease in learning the basics of programming, which should be your first priority no matter what you do. I'd recommend at least trying both.

You could also learn programming through a site like Codecademy, which you might prefer for it's structure. I personally found learning through gamedev to be much more engaging. Don't worry too much about which programming language you start with, as all languages are built on the same foundational concepts. Just learn the one that's used by your engine. Vid related is a good GameMaker basics tutorial.

>Figured out a way to encode my texture coordinate data, loading from ~7000 bytes down to ~1344 bytes

I don't think the average person will notice the swastika I didn't until I saw a response to it but there will always be some asshole who will look too much into it. I think as long as we don't react to people saying it's a Nazi symbol we will be fine, since it would be purely coincidental It's not like it's our own "It's okay to be white" or anything.

The last thing I want is some uproar about spreading right-wing views after I have talked shit about SJWs injecting their views into things.

>>13785967

A fish can control when they drink water and when they breath water i.e. when they push water down their esophagus vs when they push water over their gills. Because of the magic of osmosis, freshwater fish don't need to drink much water at all while saltwater fish have to drink a lot of water.

>That yelling sound effect.

Good taste.

>>13786468

needs yelling with every punch tbh

>>13786952

Considered that but you gotta remember you can throw about 60-70 punches while berserking and you could go berserk pretty often through every map.

That'd get pretty old and annoying over time.

>>13786968

could make it optional with a [muffled yelling] as the alt, fuck you could even have a muffler as a power up for going berserk tbh

>>13786968

But that's the joke.

>>13786984

The alt attack is a quick swing of the sword and a few fireballs for ranged attacks, seeing as you'll be stuck in the berserk state for about 30 seconds.

>>13786987

Well it's a joke I don't want.

Well, not usable items, a previous update introduced several usable items but I quickly removed them because that was a stupid idea. The only usable item character get is the BFG tier weapon that gives them a super move/super form of some type. The berserk on demand is the Doomslayer's BFG-tier thing.

I am not the owner of that site

>>13787056

so it's not a common thing? ah I was misunderstanding then

>>13787072

Yeah sorry, the berserk-tier item will probably be a temporary state of quad damage for the Doomslayer. Seeing as he's based loosely around Doom 4

I see no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to state and defend his opinion, even if you won't agree.

Anyway, I don't personally like the hakenkreuz design compared to the buddhist swastika because of the bottom left G looks kinda shit in that one.

I hope that finding it not as aesthetically pleasing won't end with me being considered a cuck bending over for SJWs.

I think that if that swastika wasn't pointed out by Evdev, it would take a while for anyone to notice. Hell, maybe people would put it into their games only to be called nazis by triggered reviewers who'd notice it.

>>13786275

>The game's Shaping up nicely. How's the inventory? Let's exchange notes.

Originally I was going to have something directly inspired by Diablo/POE in regards to the inventory. I have that part done (as a separate thing) but giving it more thought I didn't want the player to stop and start constantly during play to pick up an item and manage their inventory space. I want the game to play quite fast and let the player focus on killing things and clearing levels.

So instead I'm thinking instead to have it so you automatically pick up any items near you in an unidentified state and have a result screen on level completion that awards experience, identifies loot and then lets you manage what you want to keep (all/none/select individual). Things you keep get put in your stash and when you return to your hub you can do any management you need to do, like spend skill points, change equipment and so on.

A lot of it is guesswork now and I'm not 100% set on any idea until I get it in, play test it and make sure it feels fun.

A friend and I have decided to start working on a project. Even though we are both programmers, he will tackle on the art and I will design the engine.

The game we are thinking about will require some amount of synching several entities between instances, so I thought of an engine model that could help with priorities during synchronization, but that probably means doing away with most ready-made dragondrop engine solutions which I would have dropped anyway since I am a sucker for enginedevving or customizing one so much it may as be the same as starting from scratch. Thing is, even though most of the game will be 2D sprites, we want the world to be some really simple 3D stuff, a la Don't Starve or Recettear, and here is where I am stuck. I have tried some graphics libraries before, and the one I liked the most was LÖVE2D due to its simplicity and overall comfyness (and also the language, because I like Lua), but alas, it doesn't do 3D.

Maybe I am being a bit specific, but I am looking for a 3D library that is:

<Libre. I can do with copyleft too.

>Is written for a "fast to write" language (read: scripting language or similar), or has reliable bindings for it.

<Runtime speed is optional. As long as a PS1-tier game can run at stable 60FPS I am happy. I can work with minimizing garbage collection as well, so don't worry about that.

>Project setup isn't a bitch, like it is for modern libGDX. I would like not to be restricted to an IDE to even manage to make it work.

<Cross platform. We can do without mobile, but GNU/Linux, OS X and Windows are a must.

>Deployment should be as light as possible. I considered three.js even if I don't quite like JS, but having to wrap it up in an Electron instance, which includes both a browser and a web server to run, is just crazy. I don't mind runtimes but this is just too much.

<Preferably with an API as simple as possible. I hate having to study libraries or cryptic docs to figure out how to write the mandatory boilerplate to make them work. I just want to render boxes and quads, goddammit.

>I may consider ignoring the above point if and only if it's for a simple as shit and flexible as fuck language, such as Lua. So yeah, if you know some good OpenGL bindings for Lua with LuaJIT, I could work with them.

Am I asking for too much? How stupid would it be to work with software rendering if I just want to render simple shapes?

>>13787296

Banging sound bug anon from demo thread here. I tried to recreate the bug as you asked; I repeated a few times the things I did during my first play through and I tried some other things that I suspected could cause this but nothing worked. Although I have two other small issues to report:

Skill point counter when it's not 0 is always set to 1. As in, no matter how many points you have saved it always shows you have only 1 point (though no points are lost, it's only an interface problem)

The second one is when you Alt-Tab out of the game the names of the items get stuck on the screen in the position they were before Alt-Tabbing until you press Alt again. For example, if a name was in a bottom-left corner of the screen it stays in that spot on the screen no matter where you go and where the item it originated from is.

>>13787397

What makes you say that? Map definition will probably be sub-Minecraft voxels, I don't think I need anything extremely fancy. It supports vertex shaders as well, which is nice. If it isn't a pain to set up and it works wherever LÖVE works, I would say it is pretty spot on.

>>13787402

heh, that's a really cool idea, actually. I'd would have loved to see your implementation of inventory tetris but this seems really well thought out.

>>13787441

thanks, dude. I was trying to work with the audio from your .webm to try and find a sound that might have caused that bug but had no luck with it. I hope it's one of those anomalous one-in-a-million situations.

The skillpoint problem is something new…

Well, not exactly new. I had that problem in the earlier prototype but I thought I fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.

And the alt-tab issue is something I though only happened with the Unity editor and not the actual built game. I'll try to do something about that.

>>13787445

I don't go here because none of you dipshits have any substantial knowledge nor skill for it to be worthwhile dialogue in either direction, and at the same time you're as big a egocentric wimps as any other tumblrina cuckdev, making you twice as worthless. I've been smack in the middle of a hashtag turboleftists gamedev community for a long while but they at least had actual skill going for them, and to their credit, none of them was petty snarky cunt like you f1847d, if they had to say something they said it straight up.

>>13787588

Considering I don't want to do anything really fancy, I guess it would be simple to just wrap the quad (characters, small details such as bushes, etc) calls in a function and then the world draw calls in another. Not even sure yet if I want to contemplate camera rotation, so it everything 3D would be writing once and forgetting.

Anyway, thanks for the link my man.

Yeah well the only way that gonna work is if you're going to use gapless array with elements allocated in-place, otherwise you're throwing any would-be DoD benefits out of the window - one pointer is one too many and all. Also as far as ECS goes, it's really not very cache-friendly, considering how much it needs to address unrelated memory locations to communicate with other components.

look at specialized communities for better criticism with a higher density of experts. measure the value of criticism by the amount of experts.

here is only good for idea guy tier criticism, because there's a lot of expert tier idea guys here but not much else.

but i just want to create the best game i can.

it sounds like you are doing it to stroke your ego.

>>13787857

Hard to do, since the whole impetus for making the game came from him.

>>13787863

He doesn't want to use Unity because of all the shitty android gmaes made for it, and thinks Game Maker makes it "too easy". I'm trying to soften him up to GM so that we can get actual work done.

>>13787883

Well your project lead sounds like a pretentious hipster faggot, just say you're making this decision for him and use Unity.

>>13787900

And this is with both of us having zero experience in game making. He did animation for short films and I'm a fucking webdev.

>>13787883

i'm not saying take the project and run. i'm saying if you're at all serious about gamedev and he's farting around arguing about engines, he's wasting your time and you should hop onto an entirely different project.

the fact that he judges unity based on all the shitty games made for it and not on the quality of the engine makes me believe he has no idea what he's doing.

why is he your project lead? there are some big red flags i'm seeing.

>>13787898

Truth be told, his original ideas were a bit banal, so my other friend and I had to make it a bit more original. I won't go into much detail, but we went from a literal copy/paste of Graeco-Roman mythos to an original thing

>>13787900

Nice dubs.

But, this is probably different. We definitely need a coder, and we already have a basic design for the player character

>>13787908

He had an idea for the game, and like I said, we made it better. He did consider handing my friend and I the reins, but I talked him out of it. Im starting to feel a bit like I shouldn't have.

>>13787917

Wait… The project lead is an idea guy?

>>13787925

….Sort of. I don't know what to call it, but it was his idea to MAKE the game, and the very basic story elements.

>>13787925

if this is true your project is doomed to failure, sorry bucko

>>13787930

Jump ship

>>13787930

if he isn't doing anything other than making ideas, he's an ideaguy.

project lead should be a coder, not an ideaguy. ideaguy leads is how you end up with AAA studios switching from 3dsmax to maya halfway through the fucking project(ME:A).

I appreciate the concern, but I feel I've put in too much time with my friend thinking this thing up to entirely jump ship. Maybe I'll just find a way to kick out the lead.

>>13787938

>double tap

Dictionary that checks when the last press and last release were, then make it so that if the difference between the two times is less than X it's considered a double tap.

Just in case

>>13787833

unless you're Ika or Keyreal, of course. and hopefully 43ac77. Hope you and your friend will make cool shit

>>13787840

>ts… complicated.

but interesting, now that you shared more info.

Why would you care about the slackers if it isn't your project?

I would tell you to lead by example but be sure your "team" won't work unless the 'lead' stops being a fuckup.

I knew people like that. I was trying to help them actually get shit done. No such luck, unfortunately.

>>13787864

>look at specialized communities for better criticism with a higher density of experts. measure the value of criticism by the amount of experts.

well, okay. That answers a part of my question. Still… got any you'd like to suggest? Unless it's aRPG forums/fans I need to start shilling towards to get experts' opinion on the mechanics. You're an expert on communities. I'm asking for expert opinion.

>>13787885

Haha, that makes it two manlet simulators in development then.

>Demonsteele

I really need to check the backlog of mods by you dudes

>>13787938

Do it anyway.

Really,, I think i just need to convince him to let my friend and I take charge. Kick out the so-called """coder""" that does nothing at all, double down on art and hopefully one of you fags could at least try and help us, assuming you want to waste your life. Otherwise, we need some coders real bad.

>>13787964

I care because I've put a lot of time into my own role, which is trying to make sure this thing happens, and some of the people in it are also friends. Fuck, most of them I actually know IRL.

>>13787964

i never said i was nice, and i especially don't want a flood of newfags as it lowers the intrinsic value of a community.

u understand im sure, but i did say they are not hard to find if u look. most just dont look

>>13787989

Is it your first project, so that you care so much? Sometimes you just have to let go, and yes that means having all of your spent effort going to waste. It's a better option than even more of your effort going to waste later.

>>13787961

I actually read a similar suggestion last night from a search. What I'm initially trying to do is check that if the player presses Right-Right or Left-Left, they dash. I feel like I need to keep track of the previous button pressed, but I don't know if Unity does that.

>>13787972

I just might, for as long as a headache I've had about this.

>>13788004

Unity doesn't do that, you need to implement it yourself. Really you need to implement entire input library yourself, Unity's input library is dogshit and using barebones input API is masochistic and is a poor use of your time.

>>13788004

>I feel like I need to keep track of the previous button pressed

I dunno that sounds like you're just complicating it unnecessarily.

Unity has nothing of the sort built-in as far as I know.

>>13787861

>Yeah well the only way that gonna work is if you're going to use gapless array with elements allocated in-place

That's why I mentioned that it's kinda pointless to do in managed languages (read as anything that's not C or C++). Memory alignment and padding may be a pain in the ass, but given you use similar datatypes for your stuff in the struct (as in, points/vectors with only floats, meshes with only floats, stats with only integers, etc. as semantically decoupled as possible) or take special care with padding, you should be fine.

>Also as far as ECS goes, it's really not very cache-friendly, considering how much it needs to address unrelated memory locations to communicate with other components.

A theoretically good ECS should be a table where its entries (the game objects themselves) should just be a collection of pointers to array positions with structs, or the components. Most of the time is going to be spent stepping each component with the same function/system rather than stepping each entity, so it makes sense putting all components governed by the same system together then, just executing said system over the array. In the (extremely likely in practice) event that you want to directly modify an entity outside of its systems, you would have to search the table to get your entity, then searching for the pointer to the component you want, then say "fuck it" to your cache; but luckily, this won't happen as often as stepping your system, so it's better to design it this way.

In practice it's pretty hard to prepare systems not to interact with each other, but that will be hard regardless of how much you want to overcomplicate your SoA system. Also, in practice, unless you are a turboautist trying to write your engine in assembly like the cool nodev kids at /tech/, you will probably not be able to take advantage of this because most languages don't give you fine control over memory.

>>13788002

See, we haven't even gotten anything done. The most we have is some weapon sketches and the character's helmet. I don't want to give up so early on.

>>13788029

C and C++ give you all the fine memory control you possibly need. You can even use sbrk to ask OS for some chunk of memory, and do all the memory allocation shit manually 100%. That's how libc does it on the inside anyway.

Anyway ECS is a step up from OOP but there's still long way to go, it's far from optimal.

>>13787585

Is this pasta?

Morning lads.

>>13787883

>no GM

>no Unity

So where's the problem? CE should be out of the fucking question for obvious reasons, so what's his holdup? The only real alternative left is UE4.

>>13787930

Unless he does something tangible like programming, asset creation, or similar, ditch him.

>>13788004

Sounds like you want to implement something similar to what fighting games usually do. Look up tutorials on input buffers, then implement something similar.

Basically, you want an array of inputs (preferably cache the whole relevant state of your controller/keyboard, so you can check for multiple keys pressed at once) that gets updated every frame with the state of the controller, then a pointer to the last position. Use modulus operations to make a "rolling array" so you don't have to shift your whole array every frame and just update the relevant position to gain some extra performance, then write functions to access the last position or an offset from the last position, only as far as the input buffer is because otherwise you would be cycling through it and that would be pointless. Then, just use those access functions to run over the array check whether the combo should execute or not, under your own "tolerance" rules (it would suck if you forced the player to always perform frame perfect inputs; dashes should be performed from as short as a double tap to twenty frames apart or some reasonable number like that).

Beware of players capable of executing the buttonPressed and buttonReleased event in the same frame. I am not sure how does Unity handle this, but depending on your game, you should find a way of not dropping these inputs.

>>13788071

You will eventually want to use memory pools. Fuck, you will eventually want to use pools for fucking everything no matter the language or runtime if you don't want to waste time allocating and deallocating stuff.

>Anyway ECS is a step up from OOP but there's still long way to go, it's far from optimal.

What else do you recommend? In my opinion, ECS is already as good as it gets at DOD, unless you have some magic way to profile memory accesses to reorder data accordingly in a performant manner.

The game kind of died from there, he wasn't interested anymore and I honestly found him really fucking weird.

He's spent the time since then getting into the most Tumblr crowd posible at uni and almost exclusively talking about retarded SJW shit. He's now dating one of the most annoying people I know (a lesbian on top of everything else).

He was a good dude, he had a fucked up life, but I didn't think he would go this far. It's kind of sad seeing someone you legitimately liked being around with being replaced by a weird woman version of them that isn't into anything the old guy you used to know was into.

Sorry for the wall of text

Welp the python 3 book for absolute beginners seems to be good so far I don't feel overwhelmed as I was on codeacademy where I got pretty much lost on the practice makes perfect course. And it actually describes stuff a bit more where this site is like "just learn python my man" I can't wait to use godot "properly" soon

I will never know what the fuck happened, or HOW it happened because he was always a normal guy before, never seemed like a fag. Maybe he got too deep and couldnt bear the shame, I dunno. Makes me sad though.

>>13789085

Thanks Mr. Trump. I have checked a video which showcased the visual script but so far it doesn't look useful to me as it would probably end in spaghetti code, too bad it is not anything similar to the Decorate stuff from ZDoom which was easy to work with.

>C#

Is it even possible to learn/using this language under Linux? I am wondering this since it is made by Microsoft. I made a typo

>>13789246

Can you look at what the charCapsule is colliding with and then check if the normal of the collision is close to up?

>>13789405

I can, but is that the best way to do it?

Seems like the same thing I'm currently doing but slightly different

>>13788877

Have to side with >>13788929 on this one. That could have ended much, much worse than him just leaving you behind. In fact, I'd say that was probably one of the best outcomes for you.

>>13789146

>C# under Linux

Yes, since the language itself is an open standard. .net is just Microsoft's implementation for Windows. The cross platform implementation is called Mono.

>>13787777

Impressive digits.

OCT is pretty well gameplay-wise. Primarily I've been fucking around a lot with maps, though, and mapping isn't something I'm confident in or know about a lot…so it's been slow.

>>13787854

Manlet Simulator was something I started up for IGMC2017, but then got swept up into updating High Noon Drifter. Oops! Missed the deadline completely.

Well, it can't be helped, though it does put me in an interesting position.

I'd recommend game jams of sorts tbh, basically trick them into getting into the swing of working via some event made out to be a fun time and more so designed to bring out creativity in your peeps tbh

>>13788078

another issue is you've probably set things like "hahaha everything is cool no need to rush just like in your own time" which means no one is actually going to work in a timely manner since they've no dates set which keep your thing out of mind for them

>>13788877

the main problem about trannies is that he has to completely give up everything about him self prior to "changing" into what he feels like he wants otherwise their delusion crumbles because he connects his history with his gender since that's what trannies do
