I'm not going to make it in time for demo day. Again.

>>14245631

Keep working anyway so you have a demo done a few days late, which you can use as a backup demo for the next demoday. Stop thinking "I have this long to make something" and just make the damn thing ASAP, then improve it with the rest of your time.

MoM Anon here, with the Memoirs of Magic Demo!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/urrnbtayektgpxg/MemoirsOfMagicDemo.rar?dl=0

IMPORTANT: Use the EXE file to launch this game. This project has been tailor made specifically to be presented and run in a specific way which all the options have modified for. Running it any other way may cause undesired effects or oddities!

Make sure to report any spelling errors or bugs to me so I can fix them. A word of the wise though; this game is pretty tough, so keep that in mind when you go into it!… In addition to this, this demo does support multiplayer. If you were to do such things, I would recommended using Zdooms/GZDooms multiplayer function, as this game was built around it with that in mind. They will most likely be issues if you play with over 8 people!

I am curious as to what you all think too, so feel free to share your thoughts or ask any questions here, as I will be more then happy to answer any questions in regard to this demo!

It should ALSO be noted that this demo covers they first 1/5th of the game, so you should have a pretty good idea if you like this game or not based on the demo!

An oversight I made is that I actually included the backup file inside of the rar, which doubled the memory size. If you are to include this in demo day, it'd be wise to remove said backup file (It should be in the folder listed as MemoirsOfMagic.pk3.bak)

Other then that, I hope you all have fun with the experience. As stated above, you are free to include this for Demo Day!

>>14245561

Eventually, I want to rewrite my game in JAI.

It seems like the best combination of low-level and high-level programming, and the compile times are low enough to keep iteration speed high.

Might be a bit of a learning curve, but jblow is shipping his whole engine with the language as well, source code and all.

Anyone have any knowledge on intelligent ways to define boundaries in an isometric 3D game that's not constrained to a grid? Currently, I've just got invisible triangles that I have to place around the map manually, which is tedious as hell.

>>14245668

Happy birthday, MoM anon!

>>14245895

Think of how Mario 64 does it, where you define the level geometry itself as passable and everything outside of it is automatically impassible as a result.

>>14245925

>define the level geometry itself as passable

Oh shit, I might be able to make that work in my case. I'll give it a shot. Thanks, Anon.

>>14245925

Oh thank you!

Unfortunately I was mostly sick yesterday, but I just hope people have been enjoying the demo!

>yfw the wait is finally over and 3D toolset is decent

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/9bd402698cfa299b79b9144f8d7744c308a4e085

>>14246002

Why in dog's name are you modeling out an ear instead of using texturing?

This better be for practice.

>>14245668

Happy birthday MoMdev, I'll need to try and find time to play it!

>>14245813

I think when I make the jump to doing my own real 3D engine I'll do the same. Looking forward to seeing what sort of performance I can squeeze out of it.

I was watching a description presentation video about godot3

and they mentioned this framework for helping with VN alike games

basically natural scripting much alike Renpy, inherit from the templates, but still have all the depth of godot for other stuff

< https://github.com/godotengine/escoria

I remember some anon asking in another thread, I also would have liked to known this earlier

may be of interest to anyone else

>>14246148

Link me to that video? I've been holding off any serious gamedev projects until Godot 3 came out and so I'm up for anything regarding it.

>>14246470

the video in question is just a presentation with a stronk europoor accent, its even kinda old

Godot 3 is gud, and should handle most that you can throw at it, what specifically were you thinking?

>>14246112

And how exactly do you think he will get the normal map for that texture?

You make a high poly model to generate normalmaps from, and a lowpoly model to apply them to and animate.

>>14246691

lol, bretty good anon

also, use webm niggah

>>14246691

>Now the rocks look like they're made of jelly!

I'm now pronouncing YUME as 'yummy.' What's your game about, Anon?

>>14246728

I've seen you talk about this idea a bunch of times and I'll be completely honest

Dividing gameplay in sections is incredibly fucking annoying. Two is already a lot to handle and to make work, with three fuck man then it's almost certainly going to be shit.

Just make a mech game, then expand from that, it's very likely you won't be able to make all three work if this is your first project either way

>>14246751

The third thing was a different game idea entirely. The mecha game only has two gameplay sections at most. I already have it figured out that the management half of the game might be too much and I might be better off making a more arcade like game for a first project for the sake of it being easier to manage.

I dream big, but I'm not stupid.

I wish people posted here more often. I've been working on my game not sure I'll be able to release a demo

>>14247164

I'd post more often but there's not much to see in my case. I'm just trying to unfuck Love2d's bugged keyboard input detection, and it's pissing me off.

>>14247169

I've never had any problems with it, what are you having trouble with?

>>14247186

Tried using love.keyboard.isDown, as well as love.keypressed and love.keyreleased for this.

If you press and hold a key, then release it while moving the game window, it doesn't detect the key as released.

>>14246767

Just focus on making a character controller that feels right first, then see if that was easy enough and keep going from there.

I'd start with the Mech stuff since even if you don't do the other one you still might have something interesting.

But honestly making giant plans is the first thing that kills a project, take it slow

> spent afternoon getting a new scene done

> storm hits pretty strong

> a nearby blast after lightening strike and computer shutdown

fuck

I'm calling the internet company, I can't access any website except 8chan and animeflv.

>>14246744

YUME is the engine Speebot was made in, he might just be adding features for now while thinking of what he'll make next. At the very least we'v seen a low poly TV and a cake, and grass and rocks now.

>>14247164

I can't usually post my progress because it's actual work stuff, and I tend to be too lazy and uninspired tired to work on personal projects.

>>14245668

>failed to download

Is this some garbage website that requires cookies to do basic things?

I've hit a heavy mapping block so I won't be able to make it in time for demo day. Again.

At least the end for the tech demo is in sight, so it'll definitely be done some time down the line.

In the meantime, I've been working on code.

I've optimized the rain so that it needs only half of the spawned actors, with an alternate spawner that follows the player around so I don't need to place individual spawners all along the map.

Exciting!!!!!

Does Godot supports pure C or do I have to use GDScript/C++/C#?

>>14247243

That's a problem with SDL and Windows, where Windows blocks the main thread when you're dragging/resizing the window, although I don't think the events should be getting dropped. A workaround for now might be to modify love.run and call love.event.pump from a separate thread, although you'll need to put some safeguards in yourself as pump isn't thread safe.

>>14247302

I've never had this happen and I'm dreading the day that it might. Will a surge protector save me?

>>14247425

you script the game in gdscript or C#

the engine itself is built on C++, so you build plugins with that, for example custom objects that you may use

>>14247243

Oh that sucks. Apparently it's been known SDL bug for a few years at least. I've never run into anyone mention that before though, so it shouldn't be very likely to happen in real world use.

>>14247434

I tried it on OS X too and seems to have the same problem, so I'm guessing it might be SDL's fault.

>>14247566

I can confirm at least that it does work on Debian. I tried my pump in thread idea and it doesn't work, so if you want to fix this you should go poke around in love's source and see why keyreleased events are being dropped.

>>14247425

3.0 added support for /virtually/ any language via GDNative. The GDNative API is written in C:

Here's a blog post talking about how to set it up. I think it's specifically about setting up C++ support, but you can probably use C as well.

https://godotengine.org/article/dlscript-here

This is probably not the right place to ask for this, but does anyone have any suggestions for a laptop with a good battery, that is easy to move around that I can use to work on Unity 3D projects?

I need something more mobile than my gayman laptop.

>>14247668

Ask /tech/. They have a sticky for this.

>>14247668

What >>14247672 said, but you'll have to think of what your budget is first.

>>14247676

Is less than 400$ unrealistic?

Can never get any answers on /tech/, guess I'll try anyways

>>14247302

>>14247519

Any good psu worth its salt has surge protection built into it. Mine was gifted to me used years ago, 1200w unit worth $200 or so.

Anyways its the change in current that damages electronics. Eg turning machines on and off over the years will kil them, but leaving them on will keep it fine

>>14247668

Also I don't know its graphical power, but I have a refurb Thinkpad T420 (last model before it went to shit). It's portable and has good battery life, and it can play Terraria reasonably well

>>14247730

>>14247668

Was just about to post the same thing. These are pretty damn good laptops, and the battery life can be extended if you get the 9cell battery. They should be able to do mediocre 3D projects easily, but don't expect too great of things out of an intel hd 3000

>>14247722

>Any good psu worth its salt has surge protection built into it

well the PSU was worth it in the sense that nothing got burned

and the power network on my city is good enough too to protect from most cases

in fact, some other stuff in my home stayed on just fine, I'm thinking the it was actually a negative surge, and the computer just rebooted after it

>>14247823

If you've got burnout, it's all right to take a short break.

Just don't fall down the slippery slope, at some point you've gotta pick things up again.

>>14247831

YES FUCKING EXACTLY

>tfw you realize you were handling octrees in an absolutely pants on head retarded fucking way and now you have to rewrite like a dozen functions and think of things completely differently

>>14247894

I keep thinking about quad/oct trees in the wrong way and getting confused about adding data/points or dividing it, and there's like 2 or 3 different implementations and I just can't

>>14247842

>>14247831

>tfw you realize you handled inventory and weapons in such a retarded way that changing turns or pausing the game breaks the networking functions and crashes it and you'll have to rewrite your player character and networking.

Kill me.

>>14247899

I'll probably just tear it out entirely and put in a R-tree instead.

>>14247920

>>14247921

>>14247899

>>14247894

I think this is the one thing that crushes me sometimes. I know it's just a confidence/morale type of thing but it feels like getting punched in the gut sometimes, thinking about just how much fucking shit there is to do and understand. Thinking about it feels like kicking yourself while you are down.

It all passes eventually, it's really just a perceptual lens, but holy fuck does it bring on a feeling of real, tangible despair.

>>14247933

Yeah but

>tfw when you understand one seemingly difficult concept and happen to step into a new environment that takes full advantage of it and you're already up to speed

>>14247974

>I don't know why deleting code makes me happy.

Simplicity. Freedom from the nagging clutter, and the responsibility for it, which also allows you to better see and understand the whole. You may find that the same applies in real life, and that the fewer unnecessary things you own, the easier your life is. The peace of mind gained by getting rid of the things you don't immediately need outweighs the benefits of holding onto them indefinitely because you might need it later 99% of the time. It's possible to keep many things, and go through the labor of keeping them all sorted, but the more things there are to put in order, the greater capacity there is for disorder, and the more work there is to maintain it. The same applies to code.

t. son of a hoarder.

>>14248105

Are you going to turn off shadow casting for the guide spheres?

>>14248105

How do you know the "ideal" way to subdivide the triangles?

can someone explain what a bitwise shift is (>> or <<)? in retard terms

>>14248227

OK, so it moves bits around. Thus,

0b0001 << 1 = 0b0010

0x0F << 4 = 0xF0

0xF0 >> 4 = 0x0F

It can be used to divide stuff, so, >> 1 is equivalent to division by 2, >> 2 is division by 4, and >> 3 is division by 8 and so on.

If you want to set a specific bit in a variable, you could do (var | (1 << bit)).

There are other uses but this should give you a general idea.

>>14248258

It's moving all the bits in a number over.

Let's assume you have a number like 213 in decimal. In hexadecimal, this is expressed as 0xD5. In binary, this is expressed as 11010101

So a << operation would make it 10101010, or a decimal 170 or 426 (depending on whether you were using bytes or ints). Similarly, a >> operation would halve it by 2, rounding down: 106, or 01101010.

Bitshifts are used to check flags, manipulate individual bits, and some hacky optimization functions. You don't need to use it often.

>>14247328

I just realized now that you were saying that to me. I actually was thinking what kind of idiot makes it hard to download their game!

I am not sure how difficult it is to download from dropbox, though?… is it still giving you trouble?

>>14247883

Also, I am very flattered with all these birthday wishes!… Also, the goblins have been a common complaint, I should probably make them easier to deal with. Unless making them difficult makes it the DARK SOULS(tm) OF(tm) DOOM(tm)

In regards to Multiplayer, they is information on how to do it on the Zdoom wiki. You just need to add a few lines in the command prompt (also works with shortcuts!)

I am happy people are enjoying the game though; I am sorry for all the slow replies, as UNFORTUNATELY I actually have been sick since releasing the demo too, which is a bit of a bummer, but I will try and respond to everything asap!

Guys, Hellbreaker is going to be released on Steam on 16/2/2018!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/793620/Hellbreaker/

Thanks to those who gave me feedback on the game and helped make it better.

Here are some progress vids from over the years, ordered from oldest to newest:

>>14248160

probably, I was lazy, it's literally a parameter on the draw method

>>14248209

No idea, I am using this http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~snoeyink/demos/convdecomp/MCDDemo.html

translated from java to C# and make the algorithms that get convex polygons from the result.

Either I really didn't understand this algorithm, or it really only gives me the 'split' lines (that is, where I should cut the polygon so that each resulting piece is a convex polygon).

According to the authors, this really is the mathematically ideal way to split the polygon, I don't understand any of the math used though

>>14248444

Looks like most MCD decompositions are based on https://mpen.ca/406/keil

>>14248461

>Mark Keil's

That's literally the name of the author, so, yes?

>My co-author, 'Mark Keil, presented "On the time bound for convex decomposition of simple polygons" at the 10th Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry, Aug 1998. The full version of the paper is available. A gzipped tar file with source code is also available for the curious. Code by Jack Snoeyink, University of British Columbia.

>>14248452

thanks.

Also here's a tool for simulating lag for netdev:

>>14248525

Suddenly this haircut makes perfect sense.

>>14248501

At least they could've made her look good. She looks like a sweaty gross nerd that'll ask the teacher to collect the homework by the end of the class.

>>14248485

I am glad you enjoy the aethstetic of this game!… Its heavily inspired by the Camelot Game style (Shining Force 1-2, Golden Sun, etc).

Also, I am glad you showed me that gorgan ring effect; I think I forgot to test it on wider screen options, so I will have to add more black blocks to that!

Also, the soft locking in the store; I actually thought I fixed that. I will have another attempt at fixing it, however, so thank you for bringing that to my attention!

I am glad you enjoy the weapons too, since I put a lot of effort into making them satisfying; that shotgun there went through quite a few revisions since I started on this project 2 years ago!

The cleric's pistol is probably the worst LVL1 alchemy weapon at the start, but becomes insanely good after later levels. It should be noted that I am PRETTY SURE I purposely left all the code for all the LVL3 weapons in the game, if you wanted to have a look at them using the give cheats!

In regards to the goblins, I may add a cool down or decrease the window for their dodging. As it is, its tied to their animation, which makes it a 50/50 chance of them dodging. The snakes are suppose to be quite annoying; pest enemies!

Did you fight the optional boss yet by any chance?

also, thank you all for giving me birthday wishes. I really appreciate all the well wishes!

>>14248578

>Small enemies

small enemies, or is the guy you playing as tall?… each of the main characters have a different view height!

>>14248582

That might be it, I was playing as the eagle knight.

>>14248585

He's the second tallest, with the mage being the tallest. They also have different sized hitboxes too, but it doesn't come into play too much!

Did you piss off the banker some more?

>>14248574

/r/ing Godot-chan with "that bulge"

>>14248574

This makes it even more disgusting. I'm all into cute traps but this abomination looks like every single nerd I've had in my school ever.

>>14248105

Dude, post that shit on the asset store and get tons of $$$$$$

>>14248613

Oh I know that, I just meant in terms of shitposting

>>14248485

Actually anon, I have a question; Do you know what you did to soft lock the shop exit?

Previously I thought it was linked to buying the strength upgrades, but I am not entirely sure what it is at the moment. I can't seem to replicate it on a whim, either.

>>14248642

that's godot-chan's autistic imouto who doesn't have a penis.

>>14248575

You mean the bush boy? Yeah I gave him a few attempts but I just got stomped every time. I have this impression that I am supposed to have improved stats and weapons for the boss and I didn't really know if I should have grinded out the crossbow, earth tome, and stats.

The race itself was super brutal as well, I barely could keep up and had to resort to saving at every junction so I didn't immediately die from falling behind. Gorgon ring was super helpful here though.

I definitely want to try out the lvl 3 weapons, you think you could tell me what the console commands are.

>>14248676

I tried jumping in game to try to make it happen again, but I'm not able to get it to happen again for some reason. If I remember correctly, I was jumping in the shop buying a few alch or health pots and leaving really quick. Thats all I can remember, Ill keep trying and let you know if I find anything.

>>14248589

Of course i pissed him off some more.

He didn't do anything other than the zoom in animation, I killed him after that and died, of course.

Really liked the title screen animation, also I've found so far two marble statues the well and the mirror tavern. I've stopped playing at the cemetery.

I've enjoyed everything except the forest map, I really don't enjoy walking around for long amounts of time in low-detailed corridors with "random" enemy encounters , if you wanted this to be the case, a simulation of a random monster battle, then sure, the monster encounters work. But you still should take some time in giving the forest map more details.

>>14248676

Alright I'm getting a soft lock some times, but its not consistent. I started a new game and chose the packrat and instantly headed to misty, then gave myself 5000 gold and turned on noclip. After that I went East and used the lever to treetop talked to the bee king and then went to the magic shop. I then talked to the wizard, with his text still scrolling I bought the level 2 crossbow and ran out with the wizard's textbox still visible.

>>14248720

Implying you killed him

Also, they is a lot more of those golems too, quite a hefty amount in the demo!

I may add more details to the forest map. Have you ever played Lands of Lore 3?… the overworld is HEAVILY inspired by that, which I enjoyed, but… I may have to adjust it.

>>14248783

I will test it myself when I am feeling more better to do it!

>>14248866

Anon are you okay, you sound like you are having a stroke!… or are you pretending to be tumblr?

You lose half your gold when your die, but it only really matters in multiplayer. When making potions, you need the right ingredients (You must press the fire button to use your selection). Also, every character can attack with no mana other then the mage: the mage, when out of ammo, the only thing he can do is change his elemental.

Also, I am not interesting to pandering to tumblr. I just like having varied characters in my game. Was they any other questions you wanted ask anon?

>>14248996

Are you using the exe to run the game?

How did you break it like this?

>>14249038

well define "Fucked about" so I can fix it.

>>14249082

Ooh, I know what you did. Some one mentioned before that there was a back up file, and I think you are launching the base game and Super file which is breaking some of the assets. Also calm down anon you are quite hard to read!

>>14249163

That is the highest criminal rating, yes!

>>14247262

Yeah, I've put way more planning into the basic mecha control. Right now I'm playing with a system where each limb can have a unique attack bound to it and you can pick what "style" of attack you want for each limb in a pre-fight menu(eg: Boxing, Savage, Martial). Then you can mix and match attacks to create your own combos.

As well as a system that more closely mimics the controls of the Pipeworks Godzilla fighters that inspired this project.

What I'd really like input on is if I should go for customizable mechs and movesets or if I should make a roster of mechs with their own special movesets. There's appeal to both to the point where I simply can't decide.

>>14249351

My game doesn't have sounds implemented yet, and besides that, it would bloat the upload size

>>14248606

The thunderbomb is abusrdly powerful if you throw it and have it skim past monsters, though I might make it spawn more lightning when it blows up.

No maps, if I make any maps at all for GMOTA they'll just be prologue levels that teach players the mechanics of each hero and contextualize how they got into their current situation.

Could use a design opinion. I'm making a RPG, and I'm working a few menus that give the player information about their abilities. I'm trying to decide where the line is between giving the player the information they need and giving too much information. I'm of the mindset that anything relevant to what a their characters is able to do, the player should be told, but the rest they should have to learn on their own (for example, I'm probably not going to give the player information on enemy HP)

Do you think it's fair to give the player the base stats of attacks but not necessarily the "real" stats? By that, I mean it would display the base hit rate, but not the final hit rate modified by things like the enemy's level or any bonuses they may have that reduce your ability to hit them. It would display the base damage range of the attack, but not the final damage after accounting for the target's armor or resistances.

Wait what

>Launch game

>>14248426

>>14249508

thanks, i had forget to give >>14248426 his (you)

>>14248426

Congrats Hellbreaker dev, here's to seeing this game grow further

>>14248426

This is the first game i've seen from here make it on steam,it's nice to see the process works

i haven't been here long no bully

>>14249308

Bitwise operators are more expressive in some cases than boolean operators, there is really a place for both of them in your code. It is like a thing that people can ignore for a long time, but once you get it , it's very useful. It is used in lower level libraries but it is used for it's expressiveness, any-way if you are writing in a language like C it is a lot easier to find a use, meanwhile it is a feature that programmers in higher level languages just ignore.

>>14249564

Right, I get that and the autists will be able to minmax with either of the options I was looking at, but what I was worried about is if it's a fair amount of information to give for players who aren't going to autistically look into game mechanics.

>>14249736

>actual meshed nipples

doing a great job anon

>>14249881

Wrong how?

>>14249887

Alright, lemme try to make a quick rig and set him up.

>>14249666

it only takes $100 and paperwork to get on steam since Greenlight was canceled tbh

>>14249868

Careful with those horns. They are in danger of becoming blizzard-tier.

>>14249945

So your saying my joints aren't quite lining up the way they should be?

>>14248426

Congatufuckinglations, my dude!

>>14248501

looks like shit.

>>14245668

When I hit some chests (specifically one in the Misty Forest cabin) twice, they don't open anymore. Is this a bug?

Also, how do I make potions? I couldn't find any NPC or shop that sells them, the Magic shop is empty.

>>14249308

>>14248255

>there's no reason to bother with bitwise ops in this day and age

its still extremely useful to do bitflag checks, as opposed to have a ton of bool variables

>>14249711

even godot has a good enough support for it

>>14249552

like anon said, I am one of these autists that try to figure things out

so I rather have things properly explained and exposed, but it all depends on how the game plays out

if for example the stats are overcomplicated but balanced, its alright, otherwise if something can make or break a character its another case

but overall rpg design hint I can give you, try to have a natural progression instead of grind for stats

Can you guys push back demo day by a couple of weeks? I'm new and I haven't started yet but I promise I'll have something cool if I have some time.

>>14250705

If you really need Demo Day, post it on the next one, on 5/5. When you're doing gamedev, time flies fast.

>>14250705

You want us to break our schedule for a single anon who hasn't even started? Do you realize how many people talk about making game but fail to actually do it?

/agdg/ is a year round thing, you don't need a demo day to post your stuff.

>>14250754

Dem furrybucks gonna be flowing

>>14250848

The amount of moves won't change, but thinking of it, I could add a collapsing feature so random faggots don't see all entries and followups at once and give up before even trying.

>>14250879

That's more or less an intentional game design choice which I don't believe to be bad per se. Every input's autocombo followups are the same button again because if you press a different input you go into that button - IE neutral punch, neutral punch, down punch is going to become Right Straight > Left Jolt > Left Hook, there's simply no space for different inputs without getting into diagonals or some shit which can be cancer to input - and the four-hit dial-P-combo off the basic standing punch exists so that you can just mash punch to start off with and get results, it's far from optimal but you get something and can build off that something easily, I don't need the learning curve to be even more of a wall than it already is. Normally there's like one followup attack to a given move. Sorry for wall of text, I'm running out of time and don't have time to sort my thoughts/response.

Happy Belated birthday from Those Guys, MoManon!

We're happy to see it going so well!

>>14248255

Thank you anon

>>14248426

What will the price be?

>>14250631

Sorry for the slow reply, since I was alseep; Those chests, if you press E on them, tell them that they need to be locked picked with the appropriate lock picking level!

>>14250746

I'll be honest; I love making a good booty, be it man or woman. The shapes are just too fun to not to. No Homo

>>14250947

Its nice to be hearing from you guys again as well; I hope you have all been doing well with your own projects as well!

You should really post your progress here, it'd definitely get more people interest in my opinion!

>>14250684

Git for gamedev best practices: use something else

just see how much work >>14250797 does

Git not handling binary data elegantly is a good reason to use something like SVN instead.

>>14251039

Honestly, the only benefits of Zandro is online; but thats only if you do not have a problem with Zdooms Peer to Peer (Which in the case of my project, is better for it!)

>>14250982

I don't think you understood me.

I managed to recreate the bug: after hitting a closed chest that can be opened by hitting, quickly press E.The chest will close and you won't be able to open it anymore, the contents also won't spill and when you come back to it after changing areas it will be open, but again, no money.

>>14250839

Oh shit, I was really looking forward to playing this. Nice to see you're making headway.

All of that sounds like more than enough for a brawler, usually I'd just be satisfied being told what a move is and how to do it.

>>14250976

$8, there'll be 25% release discount

>>14251077

Wait, I understand you now, and I know why that is happening. I will put that on my immediate to do list right away!

its to do with the fact some chests can be interacted with E, and some can't. it cancels out the open animation due to it!

>>14251019

We had a thread recently, it went okay. It should still be up, actually if you want to peruse it.

Unless you mean posting in AGDG, then no, that wouldn't be fair to everyone else, it's better ours are seperate

>>14251110

I am just excited to finally release this demo is all. I can't believe its been 2 years already since I actually started this project!

>>14251069

ZDoom/GZdoom multiplayer is pretty jank and unstable, I've seen nothing but issues come from it.

Though at this rate I may axe Zandronum compatibility to make sure the gameplay is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Or I guess I could just have weapons not blink. I only want to give up Zandy compat as a last resort, I know there are some people who can't play GZdoom for one reason or another, and I know there are people who play the current public build of GMOTA on Zandronum, I don't want to take that from them

>>14251145

From my experience it seems like at the end of the day sacrifices have to be made. It all really depends on what you want the final result to be, and if that engine can meet you needs.

>>14251151

I've managed to make everything else work, but weapon and item pickups that change depending on player class is the one thing that's been tripping me up.

>>14251158

>but weapon and item pickups that change depending on player class is the one thing that's been tripping me up.

How does your current system work like? You have just a generic looking weapon and item sprites so far?

>>14251166

The current system I have in place right now is really hacky, the item is spawned as an invisible actor, and then it spawns several dummy actors that serve as the sprite, one for each class, the dummy actors only serve as a visual for the weapon.

There's two problems with this system, you'll pick up the weapons no matter what, even if you have full ammo, and if you graze past the weapon, there's a chance you will pick up the weapon and the sprite will stay, or you'll pick up the sprite and the weapon will stay. Which sucks ass.

>>14251185

There's a lot of better ways if I wasn't trying to aim for Zandronum 3.0 compatibility, so I'm actually trying to develop for two separate engines with several years of features and functions difference between them.

The only other mod I can think of off the top of my head that has a weapon system that changes depending on class and works well is Wrath of Cronos, but sadly the ACS within is compiled and there's no source, so I'd have to contact the dev

>>14250797

>I do. You will need something to deal with BLOBs like texture and audio files though. I use LFS. I host my project on GitLab since it's free and gives you 10GB of storage for git and LFS.

I do already too, both of them

>I handle it like this, because this system ensures that everything that goes into the game must go past me first.

it does seems though like you need because of having other contributors to the project, and I also don't need a "testing" branch since I technically don't build anything godot

>is that you can then squash its entire commit history into one, new initial commit

yeah I know, squash is very useful, you're bound to make little fixes and touches after the initial writing, my problem though is that I often have to change small things on stuff completely out of the feature's scope

and that usually messes up the history, besides squash on merge, you could also use rebase and/or cherry-pick, or even reset to the point before branching, but all of these are somewhat dangerous stuff to fiddle with

>is that the repository will grow extremely quickly because of BLOBs. While LFS fixes it at the developer's end, your remote will still get enormous

I use gitgud instead (also anon friendly) though I don't know their size limit, but I would hope that files no longer present in your repo would also get removed from the storage eventually

>>14251192

That's the point of imageboards, if names are normalized then it would damage the culture here. Literally go to reddit or some other namefag forum for that kind of place.

>>14251230

why not use skype or some other botnet for that? Seriously, who the fuck signs their name on an ANONYMOUS imageboard?

>>14251181

Well that's pretty bad. I had a goy who helped me with the ACS since he was more proficient with this stuff then I am. Right now Moonman pickup system should work breddy gud both in SP and in MP with Skullshit 3.0 and it respects the sv_weaponstay flag. So when the boolit ammo is full for example the Moonman player cannot pickup the AKM-47 anymore and the weapon respawns correctly too. When the sv_weaponstay flag is on the player can pick up the weapon only once and there is 1 minor issue, the player can abuse this and get free ammo from it since there is no additional checks for this.

The weapon sprite gets changed too correctly for a Chaingun item a Moonman player will see it as a AKM-47 pickup for a Ben Garrison player however he will see it as a M-16 pickup.

Except even I know what he was talking about, he's obviously part of the Anton & Coolpecker team you mongoloid.

>>14251250

What, do you want us to kick out Keyreal too? We know his full name, and he's very easy to identify so what's even the point of anonymous imageboards?

/agdg/ threads by nature make you identifiable, no need to bitch about it.

>>14251042

>much work

What are you talking about? LFS integrates normally into git, no need to learn new commands. And you're missing the point, Anon.

The entirety of the Linux kernel repository (not the archive) is about 100MB in size. If you're working on a 3d game, it doesn't take a whole lot of texture and audio files to get to 100MB.

The problem isn't that git can't handle BLOBs nicely (which it can, with LFS). The problem is that free hosts like GitLab and BitBucket just don't give you all that much storage (by gamedev standards) for free.

GitLab gives you 10GB per repository with LFS. I'm working on something bigger, so let's assume that it'll contain 1GB of binary files in the end. That gives me 10 revisions per file, if we assume no compression. Is that enough? Truth be told, I don't know. But I'd rather err on the side of caution and keep an eye on the repository size nonetheless.

>>14251203

>it does seems though like you need because of having other contributors to the project

Soon, hopefully.

>and I also don't need a "testing" branch since I technically don't build anything godot

Even if you don't build anything it's useful. The testing branch is to ensure that every commit that goes into master works. Failed builds obviously get filtered out, but it's not restricted to that. If something breaks the game itself, it gets filtered out, too. I want to be able to use git bisect on master.

>gitgud

I used gitgud, too. I switched when GitLab announced LFS support with 10GB of storage and I couldn't find anything on gitgud's site. I'm using Unreal, so I need plenty of space.

>>14251332

this tbh.

You'll get recognized by your work and there's nothing wrong with that. That doesn't mean that you should go out of your way and avatar-/namefag though.

>>14251363

Real names feels a bit much on an anonymous imageboard, though. Using handles or being known specifically for the game you made, like [game name]Dev, is much more appropriate.

>>14251363

Both me and MoM anon know who he is, me because I have reasoning capabilities above a third grader and MoM anon because he apparently knows people from the A&CP team. If you could figure it out, you're either a complete idiot or a newfag.

Plus the only reason he posted here was to congratulate MoM anon. the A&CP team never posts in /agdg/ threads normally. You're seriously whining that someone who posts here once identified himself to someone he knew.

Is it still a pain in the ass to use C++ with the Godot Engine ?

>>14251407

Wew lad. Hey anon, if you read the previous thread carefully and use some critical thinking skills you'd also be able to figure out my name. Surely this will destroy civilisation.

Still kind of a pain, but you don't have to recompile the entire engine anymore.

I don't mind PascalCase but thisCaseRightHere() is absolutely cancer, sometimes I get rused because when it's only one word it appears as if it was normal snake_case() but then you keep reading and it's thisAbsoluteCancerSyntax().

lol go back to /pol/!

Also, just a quick question, while I have posted my demo in here now, is they anything in particular I need to do to have it in the Demo Day game bundle?.. Or is that something another anon here can do for me?

>>14251691

Last time there was no bundle, we just made a thread and people quoted the second (anchor) post with their own post describing their game and giving a link. You're normally expected to do this youself, although if you'll be unavailable for some reason we probably could make a post for you.

>>14251700

Oh, thats actually perfect, since then I can released the more updated version of the demo in that case.

When is Demo day again?… Feb 02?

>>14251706

Oh wait nevermind, I should of just read the OP. I will definitely be here for Demo Day then!

>>14251351

>Soon, hopefully.

I know that feel, hopefully too

> I used gitgud, too. I switched when GitLab announced LFS support with 10GB of storage and I couldn't find anything on gitgud's site

niggah, gitgud uses the gitlab framework (forgot how its called) but its basically the same with different hosting, I don't know about their size limits though, I searched and couldn't find anything

on the topic, I actually host my own lfs-storage-server back when using github, mostly because of sensitive material (nudity and stolen)

it was alright, but I have very limited upload speed so it was a drag for anyone else downloading it, and also my home ip changing regularly

>I'm working on something bigger, so let's assume that it'll contain 1GB of binary files in the end. That gives me 10 revisions per file, if we assume no compression. Is that enough?

in respect with that, in development you really rarely will have such larger binary files, everything that isn't code should be some kind of resources (textures,audio) and the kind,

and those really rarely change once done, unless when still a WIP, which is why you should use branches like that, and squash the result, files with lost references will get cleared by git

the only exception to that, is with some specific project data, for example, when I started using godot, they didn't have text based scene saving yet, everything was a blob

>>14251758

>>14251776

An imageboard can't make money if it doesn't have a heaping amount of cancer!

>>14251758

You do realize that that's just a generic imgur filename, right?

>>14251798

>Flexibility attribute

I'm guessing it's a normalized weight between 0..1 that says how much of the parent transform to apply?

>>14251847

So that means we have imgur-tier normalfags on this very board :^)

>>14251852

It means someone used Google to find the image they were looking for because they didn't have it on hand, or didn't want to sort through their messy-ass folder, same with tumblr and knowyourmeme filenames.

>>14251848

It works like this: an entity has a global flexibility parameter, which can be any non-negative float value. During initialization each vertex of the mesh gets its own flexibility attribute, which is calculated by multiplying the entity's global flexibility with the y coordinate of this vertex. This ensures that the bottom vertices stay immobile, and the vegetation stays attached to the ground.

Later this attribute is used in a shader to determine how much the vertex sways. The deformation itself is defined by a scrolling noise texture.

>>14251847

>>14251864

Only a few copies of that filename have ever been indexed, so it's really probably the same person. The point of that post is that you aren't as anonymous as you think if you use filenames like that. It's diffrent from knowyourmeme in that it's much easier to identify.

>>14249921

Sure,but this looks like something that isn't hot garbage.

I'm gonna shill Aseprite. It really is optimized for pixelshit stuff. You have all sorts of brushes and shit you can do, but the thing I like it its portability, ease of use, and how easy it is to use a limited color palette.

It's paid software for the binary, or free to compile. It's a weird license. Anyways, here's a copy if anyone wants it

>>14252053

>It's paid software for the binary, or free to compile. It's a weird license.

I like that idea in theory, since it means that it's still accessible for anyone who's too poor to buy it, but is willing to put in legwork, and profit is made from those who just want convenience. In practice, it just gets zipped and posted.

Can someone take ~30 seconds and tell me how "good" this code is? File handling isn't something I do very often.

https://hastebin.com/enibefodot

https://hastebin.com/sikuhizere.ini

I basically have a hardcoded path to a files.ini (second link) that contains an internal ID and Name token for stuff, and then a relative path for where to load the resource from. In particular, looking for feedback on the Load() method, eg using a dictionary to branch the file extensions.

>>14252075

>get mistaken for a RPing ponyfag, because he uses the same name file

It sounds like you have learned your lesson about using reddit filenames :^). Don't worry, I believe you anon, sorry for putting you in such a situation.

you know that time when you passed like a couple of weeks only writing code, and you need the rest of the stuff ready to test it, and when you finally get to that point, there is about a thousand small bugs to sort out?

#	toggles bitwise at position
func set_trigger(bit = int()):
	if (bit & TSUM):
		trigger ^= bit;

#	checks bitwise at position
func get_trigger(bit = int()):
	if bit & TSUM:
		if (bit & trigger) != 0:
			return true;
		else:
			return false;

this is one of those times,

code above is failing on me, bitwise checks on godot should be working right?

but godot is complaining about: Invalid operands 'Nil' and 'int' in operator '&'.

well, but how the fuck is getting nil from an argument?

>>14252126

I'm not that anon. I thought when I download an image from here or imgur in this case, keeping the file name, no matter what it is would make it harder to trace back posts, since many people use the same file name. But now I see that this tactic has some unforeseen drawbacks.

>>14252164

Too lazy to look over the code, but I know my C# compiler complains if I forget to use () in that sort of stuff, because bitwise ops usually have a higher order of operations than other things, eg, it's trying to compare the wrong results

>>14252175

>Pic related, one of the imgur pics I saved

Considering your situation, I suspect that's probably how you actually feel right now

>>14252205

Eh, what you gonna do

I understand the paranoia some anons have but sometimes it goes a bit overboard

>>14252189

>>14252164

but how the hell is it trying to compare the wrong results if there is literally only two operands and with parenthesis already

> Invalid operands 'Nil' and 'int' in operator '&'.

somehow its thinking of the argument as null even before instancing the object

and if I force a int(arg) it complains about it being non existent constructor, wtf?

>>14252214

>/pol/ needs to leave

>newfags who sign their posts with their name should stay

hmm

>>14252245

// Not what we want - returns a Direction object
if (actor.Direction & Direction.Left) { ... }

// Invalid - comparing Direction.Left to see if it's equal to 0, returning a bool. It then compares actor.Direction against the bool, which is never valid. This should be a nil result, right?
if (actor.Direction & Direction.Left == 0) { ... }

// Correct form
if ((actor.Direction & Direction.Left) == 0) { ... }

>>14252276

That's how it is in my case, anyways. I'm not sure if it's applicable to your program/language or not.

>>14252276

>>14252279

I understand that how you meant, its godot though

but the problem seems to be another altogether, this is happening over the instancing phase, so before the object is even constructed

> Invalid operands 'Nil' and 'Nil' in operator '^'.

like for fuck sake, the thing doesn't even exists yet, comparing an argument to a variable for something that isn't even created

>>14252175

Sorry for the situation anon. I hope that I'm not putting you on the spot too much with that image, it is just that, Imgur filenames are a red flag that a lot of anons use to detect redditors, since reddit uses imgur as a way to upload and post images.

>>14252173

Try giving them filenames that just generate noise on search engines, like "cool frog.png". A filename like that is literally a psudeo-tripcode unless multiple anons are using it.

See: http://hollaforums.com/thread/13568582/video-games/what-did-kojima-mean-by-this-during-his-trip-to.html for 77afc9 getting called a redditor 4 months ago for using the image he used in >>14252175

OK, I will stop stalking other anons and go back to gamedev now, I am just saying that using unsantized filenames are a bad idea.

And then you realize that this applies both to every public and private forum, every website you visit, how views, clicks, and visits are cached according to your IP address and browser information, and how every OS and browser does this in varying amounts, and even hardware can collect data and store it.

>>14252728

Right, but that is being collected by giant corporations that would hardly ever try to slander me, and even if they did I would know how to respond legally because they would essentially out themselves by breaking the law.

Nah, I figured it out. I just put a timer on the main loop, and track the previous 300 updates (5 seconds' worth). I then sum all the values, take the average, and if it's below my target time (16667 ticks), then I drop frames.

I just need to tweak it a bit, eg put it in its own class and possibly adjust how long it tracks stuff for, etc. If I wanted to be really elaborate I could do a timing profiler, but that's overkill for any of my projects so far

I know that feel. You get a good idea of a game and you think you're set, but then you realize how horribly incomplete that idea is and how many design decisions you need to resolve to make your game a reality.

Anyway, to answer most of your questions, I think you should study other games in the genre to get a rough idea of movement speed, telegraphs, etc. The Touhou series would probably be the best benchmark to get a good idea of the sped and movement you want. Although there are probably certain conventions you should stick to to make a mechanically sound bullet-hell game, don't feel like you should be constrained to them. If your game has co-op, maybe make some kind of power-up that increases the speed and precision of one player, but it reduces the movement speed of the other. Maybe that's a terrible idea; but it never hurts to experiment.

Really fucking weird and specific question,but anybody here who has their game on steam but doesn't have badges set up yet?

I'd like to suggest a badge,yes i'd use it on my profile like a selfish bastard.

Wait you want to transform Minetest into a non-voxel game?

That sounds like it would require rewriting pretty much everything about the game. Engine doesn't really matter, just choose the one that has the best business model for you.

Unity's easy if you're starting. UE's good if you don't want to spend a lot of time working shaders.

>>14254298

Oh, if you're referring to my image, nah. I just chose that because it looks nice and has a general "feel" of what I'd like in my game. I'm okay with keeping the voxels/pseudo-voxels, although I'd probably make it more varied than just "hurr durr only cubes" - which the engine itself does support.

I thought that mainly oldfags took part in the exodus, people who have been on imageboards since the beginning of halfchan, who were AT LEAST 14 in 2004…

>>14254968

>the exodus

Which one? There's been so much exposure to normalfags all over twitter and reddit and everywhere since then that the population from the first exodus is probably less than 10% of the current userbase.

So where's the demoday thread ?

>>14255535

ain't 02/02 in Burgeland. Not even in Europe. Do we have a volunter that will make the thread anyway?

>>14255539

Nevermind, I thought we were the second, sorry.

>>14255540

You'll always be first to me, Anon.

>>14255543

Thanks anon.

>>14255540

no problem. I'll tell you it's the second on the very same second.

opencl is an amazing form of suffering

>>14255539

>>14255535

Okay, so since we're on page 6 at 300 posts, we might be able to wiggle through and make the demo day thread at any time, because it's "special". Either way, that's not for another 14 hours; 22 hours if you wait until 8 am (when it will be the most active), so it shouldn't be a problem.

I suggest we have our usual /agdg/ thread, and a sister Demo Day thread; the first post should be concise and perhaps link to the active agdg thread, the wiki, and the board? We should have an anchor post so demo submittees can be found easily. That thread should have discussion about specific games, while this thread can continue on nice and slowly.

Speaking of which, how's the turnout? I think last time we had maybe 2 or 3 presentable (but not final) games and a ton of WIP shit that was fairly broken, but still nice to see submitted anyways. Last time we had Speebot, but I think we've got MoM and Hellbreaker as featured games now, so that's good.

>>14254401

anon Ken wrote that. Like 10 years after the build engine. He was 30.

>>14255822

the hotpockets really like it when you create the same thread 15 times in order to bump your own to page 13

>>14255846

Nothing wrong with making it when it's the last thread on page 12 :^)

>>14255822

>had maybe 2 or 3 presentable (but not final) games and a ton of WIP shit

well that's what demo days are, essentially. Even the less presentable ones either showed promose or were simply fun.

>>14255744

SYCL should replace it with C++, and basically be regular C++ code, though the tech isn't very mature yet.

https://www.khronos.org/sycl

>>14255822

Might be a good idea for anons to use the wiki to compose the OP together. I know a few people had been using that page to make it a bit more organised. I'm basically ready for what I intended to have for this demo day and will just be grateful to test against different hardware specs and network conditions.

welcome to the future, feels weird seeing the younger generation grow old, doesn't it?

>>14256356

>Deactivating

I'm guessing it's GM, and you've probably got a variable declared in the player's local scope.

>>14256453

Yeah, that's the most logical conclusion, but I took measures to ensure that wouldn't be the case. I've been looking over it for hours and can't figure out what I'm missing.

>>14256299

I'm unsure what you're trying to do here anon

>>14256480

No wait, even this doesn't make sense, because you can still access the variables of deactivated instances.

>>14256515

But they aren't getting updated automatically each step, right? So maybe that's causing the hiccup

Fuck if I know, GM is weird

>>14256530

I just experimented with how it works. Apparently, you can also edit the variables of instances that are deactivated, but only as long as you specify their ID, and don't just use the object name which normally affects every instance of that object. So if your player character is deactivated, obj_player.dong_size = "Huge" wouldn't affect it, but if you first stored its id in global.player, then global.player.dong_size = "Huge" would work.

>>14256299

I would go the export variables route. That's really what Godot's whole scene-node system is all about. I'm not sure what you mean by pipe-lining resources. When you add textures to a Godot project, they should automatically be imported and compressed, depending on your project's settings.

>>14256162

>ui_up=[ Vector2( 0, 0 ), Vector2( 0, 0 ), InputEvent(KEY,0) ]

The fuck did that even happen?

>>14256225

>grow old

>people are younger than me

goodbye world

There's something satisfying about handling lots of little quality of life changes after someone plays your shit.

>>14256783

>The fuck did that even happen?

I'm not sure, that would seem to me like a pretty bad bug, but since I'm the only with it I may be the one screwing it up

the thing is I check engine.cfg entries with my own configs used for the game, that loading may be screwing it up

>>14256497

what didn't you understand?

>>14256628

>pipe-lining resources

they don't actually get compressed, depending on the original format they can even be very inefficient,

so in terms you could pipe in ImageTexture.set_image(argument) setting your compression method

it could be done both ways really, but I'm failing to see the advantage of having .tscn over .json, since the scenes would just a empty node with exported variables,

and they would even possibly make it hard since I'm trying to get data from other scenes into this one

on another topic I'm really torn over porting to godot 3 or not,

I really dislike some of the new things and definitely feels like they're dumbing down the engine read, open the flood gates of indie game hell

but they have some definite improvements, and doesn't look like they will maintain 2 well enough

>>14257231

>doesn't look like they will maintain 2 well enough

2.1.5 is confirmed, it will have a better 3.0 exporter and any bug fixes needed. Further releases on the 2.1.X branch are unlikely.

How many hours until the demo day thread is up? Deciding whether I'm staying up after work tonight since I get off work at12 midnight mountain time anyways. I could post it from work too if it's up earlier.

>>14257476

I hope the vols know you guys are gonna make a special demo day thread.

We already had instances of threads being nuked for wrong reasons, make sure whoever does the OP gets the point across.

Are there any artists out there who aren't too generate? Where would I find them? I don't have a particular game idea in mind, really, I'd just prefer to work with someone and not have to do any art.

>>14257485

Good point. I just assume they knew already simce it was advertised a few times in the op the last few threads, but I'm never the guy in charge of that stuff so I dont know

>>14257476

>>14257485

>>14257515

Anywhere between 14 and 6 hours. I'm pushing for the former, and personally hoping to submit around noon.

Also report the new thread for sticky - that will at least let them know.

>>14257513

Try art related sites like conceptart(dot)org, gumroad, hell even dA

Maybe ask around on our >>>/loomis/ board for aspiring newcomers.

Whatever you do, though, stay the fuck away from 4cuck's /ic/, for your own sake.

>>14257485

Mark gave stickying the demo thread an A-OK when I talked to him.

>>14257553

90% of the posts on loomis are one guy tracing his foot fetish pictures

>>14257670

Believe it or not, it's still better than 4/ic/.

not by much, though

You gotta look in places that also relate to what you actually want to make.

There isn't many artists who can do everything well and will do it for cheap.

>>14257688

I was hoping to find someone who also had an interest in game development, and ideas of their own. Even if they're a beginner, I just want to make something fun with someone ;-;

>>14257421

yeah that's it, godot is still too fucking broken for me, that shit won't work

>>14258096

>this seems like an awful idea

Welcome to foundations of OOP

>>14258096

mobile development is basically hacking things together until everything runs. Sometimes objects or functions want to keep their variables to themselves, and that is not okay. I advocate for open boarders across all memory addresses.

>>14258122

>Welcome to foundations of OOP

that is a foundation of OOP at all nigger

>>14258096

because they are to fucking busy making bad apps to study proper programming of sending a value without coupling the two objects together

>>14258126

#YesAllMemory

#NotAllFunctions

>>14258126

A memory "leak" is merely a slur against data trying to be free. Stop oppressive garbage collectors!

>>14258202

Functions defining variables that linger out of scope is literally what methods are. See:

class x{
    var v;
    method(y,z){
        v = 5; /*function modifies "v", which is out of scope*/
         ...
    }
}
