First. :^)

Unreal Engine 1 (and as far as I know, 2) uses object inheritance. Everything involved in the game extends from object, including but not limited to the actor class. A big problem that has been pointed out to me is that any class that extends from actor also carries code that is responsible for lighting, collision, drawing, and a whole host of other properties whether the actor needs the additional functionality or not. A more proper practice would be making lighting, collision, drawing, etc their own extensions of Object so that instead of Actor being responsible for these things AND spawning other actors AND having collision check functions AND etc. then you'd want to limit how many additional things a single actor has to do, then just instantiate these other objects in different ways. That being said, someone else pointed this out to me and Godot seems to follow this principle.

>>14452747

That doesn't seem like a big problem unless it's stopping you from accomplishing something.

>>14453453

Some developers release papers/presentations. Here are Valve's, which helped me in the past.

http://www.valvesoftware.com/company/publications.html

When I implemented a climbing system, I used a similar approach to the one they used in Left 4 Dead.

>>14452926

Eh, the whole problem is I can barely get help with UEngine 1. I have to wait like a month for help, not because no one WANTS to help but because they either don't understand what I need help with or because no one knows how to help in the way I need it. But when someone can help me, the help comes in a month and it makes my project drag on forever. That's if anyone is even around to help. A lot of people are leaving, either having left OldUnreal and UnrealSP or leaving UT99. That and I have to constantly find different ways to work around quirks of the engine that it just becomes not worth it so I'm just moving to Godot.

For instance, I was wanting to use the menu system to let the player select different player 'heroes' and assign abilities and items to different hotkeys. But then the issue was the menu system was super clunky and over engineered to the point where things that shouldn't be necessary were necessary and can cause crashes, so to make a new menu system I'd have to set up my own custom HUD. And why go through all the effort? Who all even PLAYS Unreal anymore? A handful of people. In a couple of years, it might not even run on new hardware anymore. Why not make my own game and get help from an active community? I already have the concept well down, I just have to take what I have and transition it however I can into a modern engine. The whole thing was a nice coding exercise and honestly it was a step toward what I'm doing now.

>Godot port never ever because Godot is open source and Nintendo wouldn't like that

>>14454141

UE4 is open source. Godot is open source and free software.

>>14454141

you will probably have to pay for it, but there seems to be support for consoles with godot:

hmm

>>14454233

I just have a bunch of them because I find them to be genuinely fucking hilarious and a natural progression from wojak

>>14454141

>>14454187

You can port Godot to the Nintendo Switch yourself as long as you don't release the source publicly. You wouldn't even have to port to a new graphic APIs because the Switch supports OpenGL ES 3 and also Vulkan for whenever Godot's Vulkan support arrives.

>>14452655

now that's a good OP

>>14452747

> A more proper practice would be making lighting, collision, drawing, etc their own extensions of Object so that instead of Actor being responsible for these things AND spawning other actors AND having collision check functions AND etc. then you'd want to limit how many additional things a single actor has to do, then just instantiate these other objects in different ways.

Interesting point. I bet Unity avoids that level of coupling with its ECS, right?

>>14454286

>2. if you make design choices based on "what will sell"

Not necessarily. If you're skilled enough at advertising, you will make it so that your game is what people want and change the market to suit you, to a degree.

>>14454241

Considering that a big part of these threads is asking other anons for help, having 50 brainlet images in every thread gets tiring, even forgetting that it's a cuckchan joke.

>>14454286

I found a lack of games that I like, and I enjoy the process of game development. It's like a really long puzzle and logic game.

>>14453303

That's the one, yes. Thank you.

>>14454286

>Why are you making your games, devs? As far as I can see it, there are four valid motivations (or a mixture of them):

I'd like to be really good at something, and spent a lot of time fucking with gamemaker as a kid, and later XNA, so programming is a decent fit. I don't want to do it as a job, because I'd have to deal with non-whites (particularly Indians), degenerates, or otherwise decent people who will never say a word because they're afraid of getting blacklisted from the industry. So solo development is the only option.

Game development is inherently more interesting than other software. I get to improve, and I have too much self-respect to release unfinished or glitchy garbage like most people are doing for the sake of money. I'd actually like to complete this project, and I'm not a particularly good programmer yet, so I spend a lot of time planning the best way to implement something to make it easier on myself.

>>14454378

>I make games because I just love them to death.

That too. That's why I have so much contempt for the mobile garbage, or the million variations of skinner boxes out there that are designed to extract as many ad-views or purchases from people as possible. None of them actually enjoy what they're producing, or care about their work. You lose the mindset of putting in hard work because you'll get something unique or fun out of it, and can only think in terms of how little work you can possibly do to get more money.

>>14454437

the worst part is that normalfags actually support this garbage women are always the worst offenders of social degradation and shouldn't vote

>>14454437

I just see it as a symptom of mindless people who lack agency. There's too many people out there who do not understand that they have choice, and who believe what everyone else believes because that's what's "correct". It's like they're asleep forever. I by no means am trying to give you a "sheeple" spiel, but in general what I'm saying is that people don't quite understand that they indeed do have a choice in what their lives are. So you get amalgamations of these people, shoveling garbage for these same kinds of people to eat up, and all for pennies. It's not worth getting angry over. Their own lives are their punishment.

>>14454452

Zombie men who live and die having achieved nothing are just as bad as their female counterparts. You're seeing the worst of their sex, just like some of them see the worst of our sex. In reality you see the common denominator, which not impressive in the least. You gotta be able to look past that and love the occasional exceptions. Being cynical is a trap.

>>14454222

Are you using multiple math libraries for a good reason?

>>14454524

I should probably stick to a single one, but this is all workings of a very tired me. I'll probably end up fixing it when I don't feel like doing anything substantial but still want to do some work. So no, no good reason.

>>14454547

What's wrong with the friction you get from that? Does it work? You could run it through some sort of easing function if you want a specific sort of falloff or whatever

>>14454378

This. One makes videogames because that's the dream.

>>14454567

I did my own vector math when working with SFML too, maybe one day I'll use Sony's fast vector lib

>>14454605

Mostly I'm just borrowing code from FNA's interpretation of XNA, and adjusting it to suit my needs.

I even made my own Vector2 class that overlapped SFML's and made it have an implicit conversion.

>>14454561

Sliding down ramps when standing still. Gotta implement some budging velocity that does not interfere with movement itself, and doesn't feel like shit.

>>14454567

Come up with a concept you feel passionate about. Pick an existing engine that fits you well. Focus on getting that done. You'll learn things along the way.

>>14454617

Oh I remember you posting that, it's a good idea

Im looking for a site that has a lot of reference Photos. They have gallerys of models from several angles. I think i found the site in a sticky on /loomis/ or on cuckchan /ic/ or maybe/3/ but i cant find it anymore.

>>14454754

>>14454754

>>14454286

I will make some shit games and sell them until i am rich enough so i can shitpost and dev all day without going to work ever again, you'll see!

>>14454782

Blender and Gimp.

>>14454778

Thank you kindly.

>>14454813

There's more to that room, isn't there? Those screenshots don't show 1k tris. You know about linked duplicates, don't you? They really speed up the work by a lot.

>>14454809

Conquest is natural, and has only recently been beat out of us through constant propaganda. It's only way to secure the security and growth of a nation. I'm sure you've seen what kind of degeneracy takes place when you pack more and more people into a city. It's just not possible for a society to survive like that.

>Look at how that turned out for them.

pretty well, actually, savage races we're competing with massively outnumber us and yet we still try to feed them or, even worse, invite them in and give them full citizenship. Sure, they live in shit, but it's not because of the natural desire to secure an existence for their people. They just don't have the intelligence to advance passed that.

>>14454920

What're you going to do with this, anon?

>>14454899

I see no reason to assume there was any propaganda. Hard times create hard men, who create good times, and good times create soft men. Soft men create hard times.

>They just don't have the intelligence to advance passed that

*past

They live perpetually submerged in shit because they have no infrastructure that would allow them not to be. It is widely speculated by science that harsher regions also forced the white man to invent more elaborate ways to survive, and just like that one factor, there's many other factors at play. Assuming they're just genetically inferior when there are many cases of third-fourth generation immigrants leading productive, civilized lives is kinda silly.

>>14454920

Looks nice. Tomorrow I'm going to post my Blender plugin here. It's for making unwrapping faster, since in need to unwrap lots of architecture.

>>14454935

So far, it was a test. This is the second thing I made after that acorn I posted a while back. Most likely it will be the inside of the treehouse of the main character. It'll take adjustments, but I have to model the hub world for that, and I want to actually get 3D models to display on screen before that, so it'll be a while.

>>14454951

Sounds useful. Thanks, anon.

Okay so since C#/.NET exposes Math.Sin as a double and I'm tired of casting it to float, I wrote my own implementation of Sin() using a Taylor series, instead of just wrapping the cast.

Obviously it's probably going to be slower, but I'm taking bets on how many orders of magnitude slower

>>14454286

>To make new game mechanics

I mainly try to recreate existent ones first.

>To tell a unique story/make pretty visuals

I can't write good stories/make graphics at all

>To learn

Yes, just a little C++.

I still can't get GUIs though.

>To entertain yourself

It's my main reason.

>>14454948

>I see no reason to assume there was any propaganda.

Then you're blind. Propaganda for "diversity" is everywhere.

>Soft men create hard times.

And genetics play a factor in all of this. Everything is a function of genetics.

> They live perpetually submerged in shit because they have no infrastructure that would allow them not to be.

They don't even have the intelligence to maintain infrastructure, let alone create it. What do you think happened when Haitians massacred nearly all of the French and claimed sovereignty? The existing infrastructure crumbled. They can't even patch up bridges. Even if they're worse off because they're living in shit, they're only living in shit because of their intelligence.

>It is widely speculated by science that harsher regions also forced the white man to invent more elaborate ways to survive, and just like that one factor, there's many other factors at play.

And the whites that couldn't come up with elaborate ways to survive died. Almost as if they were naturally selected for.

>Assuming they're just genetically inferior when there are many cases of third-fourth generation immigrants leading productive, civilized lives is kinda silly.

They can function acceptably in a society as long as it remains majority white, and they're trained from birth to act as if they were white. They aren't white, though, and that becomes incredibly clear the minute they secure any sort of power. Whites recently became a minority in California and I'm looking forward to it crumbling.

Where's my Beelzebox bro at?

What would be better to work with, Cube 2 or Darkplaces?

Guy I just got into college for a computer science career. I'm pretty excited, I start class on the 19th. I'm planning on posting here my progress to share the knowledge and help other anons, if you're open to the idea. I'm 28 btw

>>14455193

I went off to college for a 2-year diploma in 2008, and graduated 4 years later (mostly issues with money and co-op placement). Did absolutely nothing with my degree, and learned the most stuff within the last 3 years.

>>14455207

Not to throw water on your college ambitions. Just sayin', take it with a grain of salt and what you get out of it depends on the effort you put into it.

>>14455207

let him have his hope, anon, it's all downhill from here

>>14454222

lol This looks like it is past UEngine 1 so I couldn't help you. UEngine 1 didn't even account for friction outside of collision, and they wont let you see the source code for collision, just header references and script code.

>>14455288

Alright - I'll just keep fucking with it until it works, I guess.

>>14454286

I want another Xenogears but I want the map control to be better, and I don't have enough stealth games. The combat was great but level navigation was crap, the camera angles were bad and some parts were awful to navigate.

>>14454300

Couldn't say, I've never used Unity. I'd ask around on their forums/disagreement. Meme responsibly if you do.

>>14455215

>Sounds to me like you're assuming the worst in all cases and it's just easier for you to explain things away as "genetics" when in reality most things in countries of the world can be traced to their historical roots as opposed to an easy blanket explanation.

Why do you think that the abbos in Australia were unable to accomplish anything in however many tens of thousands of years they've been squatting there? You could have given them another fifty thousand years and I doubt they'd have ever come up with anything resembling a civilization. I don't have to explain anything away. You're arguing that natural selection and genetics have a negligible effect on the one thing that sets mankind apart from all the other animals. I'm arguing that it does. That's why it seems like a convenient explanation, I'm explaining the truth and you're doing your best to explain it away.

>Gee it sure sounds like they were not educated enough due to being oh I don't know fucking slaves?

The vast majority of them weren't slaves. Even if they were, you might have a point here if they didn't have 200 years to fail to figure out bridges. They simply are unable to advance. Intelligence is a bottleneck for any real civilization, one that most Africans are just not equipped to handle. Any European race, in that situation, would have been able to gather people to figure out how to at least maintain the civilization they took. Africans? They go back to wallowing in shit. They're trying their best to mimic western civilization and just cannot cut it. Haiti has a "president", which citizens ostensibly vote into power. Instead, they just switch out tyrants occasionally, and it's extremely notable when they actually have a shift in power without mass deaths.

Do you know what happened to the only civilization in Africa? The white leadership was heavily pressured into letting the negros vote. Unsurprisingly, they immediately voted in another negro, and now it's a complete shithole. Most of Zimbobwae's white farmers have been driven out or killed, and once again, they're too stupid to maintain the civilization they took. The black farms don't produce anything. You can blame their education, but it takes a special kind of human to kill the only people who know how to produce your food. It takes a negro. You're one of those zealots who believes that evolution stops above the neck, and need a thousand excuses for what's just staring you in the fact. You're willingly ignorant.

>tfw comp sci degree

Honestly should have just been a math major, or double major with math and compsci or something. That's not to say it's a bad major; I just feel like it's worth a lot more when used together with other fields. The last thing you want to do is get a cs degree and then get stuck as a codemonkey using meme/agile design patterns to pump out shitty software you don't give a damn about for the next big "app". CS really opens your eyes when it comes to solving problems fast and efficiently, and it can really make you marketable in other fields that require heavy computational problem solving.

>>14455509

>The last thing you want to do is get a cs degree and then get stuck as a codemonkey using meme/agile design patterns to pump out shitty software you don't give a damn about for the next big "app"

More or less this is why I didn't pursue a career. I would have had to move to Toronto and work with pajeets making java-powered apps or websites. No thank you.

>>14455509

I work in motion graphics/VFX/video production. I'm studying to work as a dev for myself.

>>14454286

Someone else used the same concept, which is a really good concept, and created a massive pile of utter garbage and wasted potential. It kept stringing me along with promises of cleverness before slamming me back down with atrocious but effortlessly fixed if you're not a complete fucking retard design.

I was fucking furious at it. I got so fucking mad at this time-wasting piece of shit that I learned a shitload of stuff so I could start editing it to not suck. I eventually realized that it would be much easier to just make my own thing than keep fixing the dumpster fire.

So I started making my own thing powered purely by rage and spite. It remains my primary motivator. I want to physically hurt the people responsible for this, but since I can't, I'm going to emotionally hurt them by doing it better.

>>14454286

I make games because no studio currently out there has plans to. Which I guess ties into making new game mechanics.

>>14454343

If your game can't sell itself. It's not very good. Probably explains why so much mediocre AAA garbage has hundreds of millions in marketing spending

>>14454378

I understand that feel. There's something magical about doing even something as simple as make a character controller and walking them around that keeps pulling me back in. Whenever I make something that works, I tend to spend 20 minutes just playing with it. It brings me the same joy that playing with toys did when I was a kid.

>>14455971

I feel this way about a lot of games and do have plans to make games like that. So many games where "You fucks could have made the best game if you ignored the gimmicky bullshit of X and focused on Y"

>>14456226

Help. I don't want to make a 2D game, and flat monitors are all trash except maybe that $40,000 one that Dolby made.

>>14457002

Just use a DVI-VGA adapter, that is how I used my CRT before it broke

>>14456703

>>14454141

Once you get a Development kit you can port whatever the fuck you want to the Switch, and Nintendo isn't going to look at your engine and say that it's inadequate, that's not a thing that happens.

>>14457250

Actually, with the Wii U I believe, in order to indie publish a game, you had to have it authored by Nintendo to put it on their app store. During this process they would unit test it to see if it crashes. If it does, they reject it. This process costs like $4,000 or something each go

>>14457243

Don't do that then.

>>14457274

All I know about the Switch is that you have to personally email them with a pitch for the game you're making and beg for a devkit, which costs $500. Never heard much about the process past that.

Here's some of what I usually listen to

>>14457289

Actually, Nintendo has (or had?) a division looking for promising indie games to put on the Switch to grow their store. If they come to you to ask you if you want to support their platform, it's not unreasonable to think they would sponsor your SDK and maybe even one or two certification attempts.

People mine cryptocurrency with it. The price of crypto is pretty much defined by the amount of calculation that was needed to acquire it, and every transaction is secured by the same thing. It just so happens that graphics cards are perfectly suited to mine crypto, thats why everyone is buying them up and the price is skyrocketing as a result.

>>14457528

Stop that right fucking now. You're hurting your body every time you drink a soda, anon. It's liquid death. Drink water and get caffeine from coffee.

>>14457494

>>14457563

>I'm totally not an addict bro, I have it all day long and to make sure I'm not pissing fire a bottle of water too

very convincing,

>>14457554

I pretty much drink water exclusively these days. I don't drink anything with caffeine in it so I can't speak to the effect it has on alertness, but as far as exhaustion, coffee dehydrates you so quickly, it makes your more tired after your initial high in the morning and is also why your have to shit so badly afterwards. Dehydration is the main reason people are so tired in the morning, and so the best think to drink in the morning is cold water.

Soda is not something the human body tolerates well and people who drink soda become huge, get diabetes and their teeth rot out. That is just the tip of the iceberg.

never preview animations b4 you port them into whatever engine you are using. just go with your gut.

good derail, but now back to gamedev

I'm in a pickle, I'm using regular expressions to dissect a image filename into tags (for layering)(its stolen from another game)

tags are in the form of 'SknA' 'BstB' 'Item02', and stuff like that in example:

> OV004_UnfC_body_SknA_BstABC.png

however there are some tags that are blended together like so 'BstABC', which means it can be used by either BstA BstB or BstC

I'm exporting this meta into a json file with the tags, so my task here is to find these cases, and then dissect them again into multiple entries, any suggestions on how to do it?

Juice is just sugar, too. Albeit less unhealthy. The better choice is to drink whatever you want to drink, but in moderation. As a treat, as a dessert.

She looks like she's missing her rib cage. Round it out a bit, reduce that hip to shoulder ratio, very slightly.

>>14458547

You're several years late

Try adding a ribcage shape to it I think it looks mighty tubular. Look at reference images of the bottom end of the ribcage as it transitions to the tummy. The chest without tits actually points almost 30 ish degrees upwards.

The shape keys save the entire body, if you modify them in the base shape the modification will not happen in the shape keys because they have the old hand shape saved, so every time the left leg bends and i have to use the shape key to make it smoother the right hand would mutate into the old model

So I'm working on the Godot documentation here:

http://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.0/getting_started/step_by_step/your_first_game.html

And this code is not working:

if velocity.x != 0:
    $AnimatedSprite.animation = "right"
    $AnimatedSprite.flip_v = false
    $AnimatedSprite.flip_h = velocity.x < 0
elif velocity.y != 0:
    $AnimatedSprite.animation = "up"
    $AnimatedSprite.flip_v = velocity.y > 0

When I run the game it loads ok, has my sprite, but when I go to try and move it, the sprite disappears. If I comment out this code, the game runs fine and I get my up and right animations ok, but obviously not the flips. I've got a couple questions:

1. How did I fuck this up? I thought maybe a typo, but I triple checked and even copy/pasted right from the documentation.

2. In Godot, how would I go about debugging this? The debugger doesn't seem to give me much info. I don't see a sprite count or object count or anything. I have no idea if my sprite is still there, but on some kind of other layer (or fucking 5th dimension?) or if it was tossed into the trash.

3. This line:

>$AnimatedSprite.flip_v = velocity.y > 0

Should return "true" if there is a velocity above zero, correct? So that if there IS any velocity above zero, then flip is true, that's how this is supposed to work, right?

>>14459477

I'd test it out myself and see if I get the same behavior, but I can't run Godot3. Can you post an image of the scene you are working in? Also turn on collision boxes and add a print statement in the player script that prints out the sprites current location. Small things like that can really help debugging.

>>14459371

I wish I could rip all the assets out of the Yakuza games and take a look at them. There's so many cool little textures on signs and billboards, it'd be neat to be able to look at them.

>>14459477

>>14459699

That worked, thank you anon. Hoping this won't come back to bite me in the ass later down the tutorial where some reference to the animation sheet directions are used.

>>14459742

select your animated sprite and then the sprite resources, then remove the empty frame or whatever, also open the animation tab and make your animations loop

>>14458462

good stuff anon, but why do you have and adult and child slider when both of them seem to make the same thing

and btw, I understand that you want to keep the style, but it would be a good idea to tie other things to the child factor, for example features that would it more childish or not

>>14457986

>>14457988

>lack of version control can set you back weeks

its not even that, how often have you ended up nearly rewriting a whole part of your code, because your mind changed along the way

>>14459977

>features that would it more childish or not

Reference for this.

>>14459244

>>14459347

Is that orbiting without a target node? If so, pretty neat. Though you can just make a camera that points at a target spatial node and call this function on the target:

	set_rotation(Vector3(y, x, 0))

The y and x axes are "flipped" because it rotates around the axes. This is probably easier and more maintainable in the long run.

>>14459659

>directly modifying your velocity

Don't do that. Store the inputs in a direction vector and then implement your acceleration/physics to translate that into velocity.

>>14460202

I'm following a tutorial, and the velocity gets normalized.

velocity = velocity.normalized() * SPEED

And honestly, I don't super care anyway as I'm not doing an action game, there will be 0 physics in my actual (after a few tuts) project.

>>14460134

Huh, guess I should have looked at the documentation a bit more. Thanks for the tip.

>>14460232

You can rotate things in a number of different ways. I'm not sure what the best way is, but set_rotation seems like the most concise way. The only possible problem I see with it is that you could possibly get gimbal lock depending on the implementation. This is the implementation in the actual c++ codebase, maybe someone with better math than me can explain whether or not it has gimbal lock:

void Spatial::set_rotation(const Vector3 &p_euler_rad) {

	if (data.dirty & DIRTY_VECTORS) {
		data.scale = data.local_transform.basis.get_scale();
		data.dirty &= ~DIRTY_VECTORS;
	}

	data.rotation = p_euler_rad;
	data.dirty |= DIRTY_LOCAL;
	_propagate_transform_changed(this);
	if (data.notify_local_transform) {
		notification(NOTIFICATION_LOCAL_TRANSFORM_CHANGED);
	}
}

The other best way I can find for rotating stuff is Quaternions.

var rotation_transform = Transform(Quat(Vector3(0,0,1), 10) * Quat(Vector3(0,1,0), aim_x) * Quat(Vector3(1,0,0), aim_y))
transform = transform.interpolate_with(rotation_transform, 1)

Quats definitely do not suffer from gimbal lock. However, they do take more computations and allocations.

>>14460258

As I understand it, gimbal lock is inherent to using euler angles. The only way to avoid the possibility of gimbal lock is to use another formalism such as quaternions.

>You can rotate things in a number of different ways. I'm not sure what the best way is

That's the thing I love/hate most about coding, or algorithms in general. Anytime you come up with a solution to something you instinctively know that this solution could be achieved in a myriad of different ways and then you have to decide whether it's important enough to improve or not. I bet if I stopped giving a shit about the individual solutions for problems in my game and just slapped on whatever worked, I'd make much quicker progress.

>>14457494

If it's a diuretic, I haven't really noticed. I alternate between days where I drink water and days where I dip on coffee and I haven't really noticed any changes.

I tend to stay up later on the days with coffee and get more done, though, for obvious reasons. It's a HIGHLARIOUS cliché, but it really is the nectar of productivity.

>>14460384

Coffee really fucks my shit up, literally. I enjoy it though. I don't even think it's the caffeine that does it, because I don't react the same way to things like caffeine gum or caffeinated energy shots. I've heard that some coffee can give people headaches and digestive issues because of specific mold spores that grow on drying coffee beans as they're processed. Not sure how true that is though. And yeah, the consumer culture around coffee is the worst fucking thing. "Don't even talk to me until I've had my coffee XD"

Part of me wants to start buying and roasting my own beans and stuff. If I drink enough of the stuff it's definitely worth more effort for a better experience than giving Folgers or Goybucks my money for shit coffee.

>>14460442

Just skip the coffee and start downing caffeine pills

>>14460379

>As I understand it, gimbal lock is inherent to using euler angles. The only way to avoid the possibility of gimbal lock is to use another formalism such as quaternions.

Looking at the code that actually rotates the Spatial object

>data.rotation = p_euler_rad;

It is basically just resetting the rotation. Meaning, I think, the entire issue of gimbal lock is sidestepped (in that function). So to get gimbal lock from set_rotation() I think you would have to have a problem with the parameters you pass in. First of all, gimbal lock is caused by rotation on all three axes, so if you are doing a standard FPS camera (particularly with the y axis clamped), it just doesn't matter. However, say your character gets in a jet plane or something. If you are tracking the x, y, and z axis as separate variables, I don't see how the gimbal issue can apply. Maybe someone can correct me on that. But for now I'm gonna say that set_rotation() is probably the best thing to use.

Coding has a mystique associated with it that art doesn't, because anyone can scribble on paper but you need to follow the rules when coding. The fact that the difficulty curve for art is ultimately much steeper is never appreciated, because normalfags don't care enough to git gud at either discipline. Music is actually pretty easy.

>>14462897

Like I said, the majority of this profit comes from people who will never even seriously attempt to make a game. It's like the Unity asset store. Imagine if assets made money off of completed games using their product? They'd never see a penny.

Agreed with your sentiment, and I found that Unity doesn’t “really” provide the functionality to create true systems; as they use more of an Entity-component architecture than ECS.

I decided to totally ditch “unity’s way” by switching over to an open source ECS framework as I need system functionality to make my codebase function in the way I know I need to design it (but Unity doesn’t provide), and to gain the ability to make mechanics easier to add/extend/customize with my established mechanic systems.

Terrain looks amazing, but while I know the character design is your style from way back; it heavily clashes with the aesthetics of the terrain.

Which gives off a feeling of inconsistent style, and is a big no no design wise.

>>14465526

What "clash" are you referring to?

>>14465553

One aspect can be described as a highly detailed realistic rendition to RL details, and the other is a characture of a vaguely humanoid being.

It’s pretty obvious as to where the clash is, and why; consistency is key in terms of art design games (and so obviously it’s generally not explicitly explained).

RTS's are very hard to make, although I think pathfinding might be the hardest along with optimizing the calculations for many units. If you nail that it'll be smooth sailing afterwards.

>>14466389

All of your code is in one singleton. So on top of having to deal with debugging your pathfinding code, you're also working with a language object, the player data, sounds, all of the player functions, sprites, setting up/rendering graphics, loading the map from an image, drawing the map, GUI code, and drawing gizmos. It's an atrocity. Separate them all into separate classes (preferably not singletons) and then try to debug your pathfinding. Most of us aren't geniuses, anon, and we have to organize our code as cleanly as possible so we can fit it all into our head. You aren't doing yourself any favors.

On top of this, most of your names make absolutely no sense. You have a gameobject called "plr" and a player data named "plrd". And then you have shit like this.

		public playerData(float a, float b, float c)
		{
			health = a;
			energy = b;
			armor = c;
		}

instead of a much clearer

		public playerData(float health, energy, armor)
		{
			this.health = health;
			this.energy = energy;
			this.armor = armor;
		}

yes, fixing this will actually help you fix your pathfinding

>>14466465

so, I'd start by using some factoring tools to fix the names, then moving out all of the code that has nothing to do with the actual pathfinding logic.

>make a separate class that handles converting the map image to a list of bytes

>move the OnGUI code to a separate, optional component or object

>get the language class out of there

>allow a different class to handle drawing the map

>move loading sounds and sprites somewhere else

>move all of your player functions out of there

once you do all this, there's no need for your update function, because your pathfinder won't be handling the graphics anyway.

Godot only has frustum culling right now so until they implement occlusion culling it's a poor choice for an FPS. As for the id Tech family and the unrelated Cube engines + Tesseract, it depends on what features and level design you're aiming for and how much of the engine you're willing to modify.

If you're willing to tell us what you're aiming for in more detail than "a campaign FPS", that will help a lot.

that's coming in 3.1. people should just start their godot projects now, the API won't break.

>it does take advantage of extensions that are only in mainline OpenGL by 1.5

But what if I want to play your game on my ZX Spectrum?
