How exactly do you make an engine that isn't data driven?

>>14495820

what is a data-driven engine?

>>14495830

you code a little men to run that engine on coded a fuel

>>14495886

>C

>not assembly

You're still a pajeet.

>>14495886

Its good news for you that you can figure out the mindset needed to write good C so fast. You will probably make a game sooner than you think because of that

>>14495687

can you give me a bit more help on this? the tutorial is a mess

after reading the comments i got it to render the scene as it was, but there's still no outline

>>14495911

yeah, sure. I had to do some tweaking myself. Also, I think GPUs without Shader Model 5.0 support will not render the outline. just be patient, I'll be home in 2 hours

>>14495921

> Also, I think GPUs without Shader Model 5.0 support will not render the outline

oh, well it's kind of useless for me then, my toaster is using an integrated one, only goes as far as 3.0 i think

you sure about that?

>>14495950

Is Godot's documentation actually that good? I have to see this for myself.

>>14495929

>you sure about that?

yeah, I tested the game on my GTX 260 machine to test performance and the outline just didn't show up. I don't really have know which part of the shader code causes this, unfortunately, maybe the blur effect. I'll send you my final code but you might want to recreate each step of the tutorial and see when it breaks.

>>14495961

"Good" is a stretch, I actually found the tutorial to be…a little less than crystal clear at times and outright forgot to explain something at the end (the rect3 reference for the particle effect). I would still recommend it, though.

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

>>14495969

>see when it breaks.

pretty much on any step

anything other than the blur results in a black screen

meanwhile on the last step i get regular rendering with no outline

probably wont work

i'm not getting any outline on the beelzebox demo from your site either, although for all i know it's probably outdated

gonna try a different solution

http://xroft666.blogspot.bg/2015/07/glow-highlighting-in-unity.html worked earlier today but was kind of clunky with it's implementation, i kind of just figured yours would be slightly less work

>>14496029

Good luck, bro. Looking forward to the results. I'll still post my version of that shader later.

>>14495820

how can we submit PRs to Godot to make it more optimized?

repost since last thread will die:

>>14491609

>>14491590

>>14491519

You can hack it and make it an invisible object whose distance (position) from the center of the screen is equal to the distance between the actual noise origin (like the enemy) and your player character.

var playerDistance = player.position.x - enemy.position.x
audioStream.position.x = playerDistance + (get_viewport().size.x / 2)

or something like that.

Why did I miss this?

>>14495950

For mp3 or midi support you will need to find a module (either as a gdnative plugin or code to recompile the engine with) written by someone else if you refuse to create your own.

>>14496208

I can't think of anything that would be more fucking fun than writing a module to play mp3 files

>>14495933

I was thinking of using 3d to represent it to be less UI centric and be more immersive, something similar to alchemy in kingdom come

>>14495886

C isn't anymore a "real language" than any other choice besides proprietary scripting schemes

>>14496292

It's useful to distinguish between languages that require some amount of intelligence to use, and scripting languages (or java) that allow inidans and other nonwhites to dominate. The best way to keep them out is with pointers, and that requires a real langauge.

on an unrelated note, the antifa game jam is starting soon. if anyone wants to join my team, everyone is welcome. requirements:

5'5" or shorter (if you're taller, ask first)

at least 20% (if you don't know what this means, don't contact me)

Once, I had an idea to make an FTL-like game where you avoid the state and federal police officers as a criminal, eg with a country-level drug running goal. I remember doing research on different roads and highway types and trying to piece together different highways and states and stuff into a database and it didn't get far it was a mess

>>14496378

I don't take your point. Transparent pointers don't make a language any more legitimate, and if Java didn't happen then curry munchers would be writing bad C++ instead

>Note that a shader might be not included into the player build if nothing references it! In that case, Shader.Find will work only in the editor, and will result in pink "missing shader" materials in the player build. Because of that, it is advisable to use shader references instead of finding them by name.

you need to reference the shader rather than assigning it via code

It came out just today, so.

Oh shit a Twitter bot that's actually kinda funny

>>14497101

Where does it pull the patch notes from?

>>14496614

No, they wouldn't. You can teach any pajeet to write bad java. It takes a master pajeet to write bad cpp.

For a 4x4 Matrix object, would it make sense to make it 16 floats, or should I have 4 Vector4 objects (one for each row)? The latter seems easier to work with, but kinda disguises the intent of the class

>>14497101

Sorry, I'm retarded. I kept reading them and the description, and it looks like those are hand picked from various games. Still, they're kinda funny.

there is, but that's partly because people who have no business trying to teach decide to write tutorials. we'll bully you before we fix any bad pratices we see

Moot being found out to be a cuckold probably sealed that deal.

That changelog is from Crusader Kings II, which came out in 2012.

>>14497379

>wait a minute, I recognize that changelog…

>>14497413

>Was he himself actually outed to be an actual cuckold?

I don't remember the details or have any of the screencaps, but after GG was banned on 4/v/, anons discovered moot was sleeping with a Gawker writer who was cheating on him.

sage because offtopic.

>>14497432

>>14497413

>>14497459

Moot was orbiting some Gawker writer who already had a husband or boyfriend (can't remember which). Later on it turned out she was only tolerating him to get attention from Gawker's higherups and dumped his sad ass after her promotion.

Two of these don't even work for me, but it's supposed to be a back arrow, dice, that thinking face, and a robot head

I can't think of anything for for though.

>>14497674

Programmers either don't respect themselves or have autism. You need to fit one of these categories in order to put up with the trials and tribulations of code. Especially for fucking video games.

>>14497760

You mean magnetism is the closest thing we have to magic. People understand how and why for math, there are formal proofs. Magnetism gets involved? The "why" goes way the fuck out the window

>>14497760

Mathematics doesn't dictate how the universe functions. It's a human invention. It less like the code the universe uses and more like the language we use to leave comments on all undocumented code of the universe.

>>14497781

We understand magnets more than we understand gravity.

>>14497540

Swift has this shit built in.

>>14497876

No, it's an important distinction to make. If you credit mankind with the invention of mathematics you cripple yourself from ever understanding the true source of mathematics. Ditto chemistry and the rest of the sciences. We're little apes discovering someone else's work, not creating it ourselves.

hubris, anon, the difference is hubris

>>14497916

>>14497825

You were just retarded but so are most people when they start. Doing it quick and dirty is the best method for prototyping. Just remember to clean your messy shit occasionally, or throw it out completely and redo it when you've figured out that's what you want.

Game jams are a good place to learn this. You could also just give yourself a strict, short time limit to work on a project. Doesn't give time to overdesign or make something perfect, and you won't feel guilty about deleting it if it's crap.

>>14497948

I never delete my old projects.

>>14497978

gayme

>>14497948

To be fair it's easy to fall into that trap when you see everyone here lamenting bad practices and design choices and think that you need to over-design and make things perfect initially. It's much harder for new programmers to discern when they should be hacking together a prototype to test something to rewrite later and that they're not just being shit at programming, like Yandev.

>>14497953

You're the one trying to blur the meanings of discovery and invention.

>>14497830

>coder

I can tell

>>14498090

>I'm a phreaker

>>14497852

I was bad with my words, I should have said "it was a human development". What I'm claiming is that the underlying rules of the universe can be explained using math, but math isn't "dictating" to the universe how to function. Whether or not it's a discovery or invention, or if it's both how much of it is an discovery or invention, is not a debate I want to get into.

I should have known I was causing problems by getting pedantic about the definition of something that doesn't have an accepted definition.

>>14497967

Derailing is the fault of everyone participating, including me.

>>14498156

i'm in your area

>>14498006

I think it's easy to discern, it's all a matter of intent. Prototyping is a conscious effort to make something in a shitty but quick way to test an idea, no matter how skilled you are, it's like doing a rough sketch before drawing. Yandev doesn't consciously try to make shit.

>make game with godot 3 in linux

>runs perfectly smoothly

>install windows

>runs like shit

what gives?

>>14498325

i'm a nigger sage

ogg files

>>14498215

Sure, I agree with that. Discern probably wasn't the right word because you're right that it's about intent.

>>14498745

Seconding this.

At what point is it more efficient, performance wise, to use Switches over if/elses?

>>14498810

Oh sorry, I didn't see the minute differences you were doing, I thought it was a rect bounds check. Good news! Hex grids are still analogous to rectangular bounds checking and it wouldn't be a big change

>>14498745

>>14498794

You can't do this as a switch, unless the possible values for x and y are within a narrowly defined range.

The reason is that you switch on the value of the variable, not an expression. It always has the form of

switch (VARIABLE)
{
    case CONSTANT:
...
}

Switches are to be used when you have a chain like this one:

if (number == 0) { ... }
else if (number == 213) { ... }
else if (number == 741) { ... }
...
else { ... }

If anything, you could shorten your function as >>14498810 suggested.

>>14498926

Sorry.

>the wheels are in the inside of the wheel model, not the outside

Oh, and since >>14498794 spoke of efficiency, maybe I should add this.

The shortened version of this function isn't less efficient.

return (a && b && c);

For this to be true, all three have to be. If a is false, b and c are not evaluated and the function returns false immediately.

There is room for an optimization hidden in there. For the most part you shouldn't bother, but it's good to know nonetheless, because there are times where you should.

What I posted above also applies to functions. So return a() && b() && c(); won't execute b() and c(), if a() returns false; and that's good to know, if your chain of conditions contains expensive functions. You can reorder them to increase the chance of the slow function not even being called to safe time. The end result will be the same.

As I said earlier, for the most part it doesn't matter, but it's still useful to know.

>(v0 && v1 && v2 && … && vn) becomes false as soon as the first one is false, the rest is ignored

>(v0 || v1 || v2 || … || vn) becomes true as soon as the first one is true, the rest is ignored

>>14497135

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about

>>14499168

You're right, that is a simplistic assessment.

>>14499226

I'm not pretending to be retarded, I'm just receiving retarded replies

>>14499338

>that's /pol/tard territory.

Why don't you go to /r/gamedev and leave us alone instead of whining about /pol/? I'm sure that the moderation there will agree with you

>>14498745

It would work in a match statement (pattern matching) in functional languages or ones that borrow from functional languages.

But really there's nothing atrocious about that code.

>>14498745

Oh yeah, you don't need all those brackets and if/else. The return statements implicitly have that logic.

if (cond)
    return false;
if (cond)
    return false;
return true;

or even

if (cond || cond)
    return false;
return true;

are fine.

>>14499657

Also, you can logic it out and do something like

>return !(cond && cond);

>>14500032

And this is why I don't do logic gymnastics. Usually I opt for the second code in >>14499657

Is paying for subscription-based Autodesk and Adobe products worth the monthly/yearly payments? Or is it better just to pirate them these days?

>>14500241

Depends how balls-to-the-wall you want to go. If you want to guarantee you'll memorize the information, look at spaced repetition software like Anki: https://apps.ankiweb.net/

SRS is essentially flashcards, but the program uses an algorithm that determines which cards you're most likely to forget, and shows you those cards. It's most effective if you use it once a day.

>>14500316

>subscription-based desktop software

asked this on /vg/ but that board is slowly but surely gaining more anons

've been meaning to start a small game to gain experience but I'm struggling with choosing an engine. For a first timer amateur who has plenty of experience in modding, what would be the best choice, creating an engine from scratch or picking and choosing from all the available free engines like Godot or unity? would consider unreal but I'd rather leave that for when I have a clearer idea of what to do. Maybe I'll roll with Godot unless someone has a better idea for a good 3D engine.

>>14501674

I thought the blueprint feature in Unreal is specifically for newcomers

>>14501674

godot>unreal>unity>gamemaker>rpgmaker, but this does change depending on how shit your toaster is

unreal is great and technically open source, but their licenses can be gimicky. also it runs like shit

godot may or may not lack features, i wouldn't know

unity is shit but it works - better than unreal only because if you can't run unreal at a decent framerate

others are obvious

>>14501674

The best engine is the one that suits the game you're making.

>>14501730

I don't think anything but making 2d real would make the newest software. The artist makes the art, not the newest tools.

>>14501742

newest software worth it

>>14501730

Why would you buy Adobe software when you could just use GIMP and Blender, especially as an amateur?

>>14501685

>>14501678

>unreal is great and technically open source, but their licenses can be gimicky.

Eh, not looking to sell this idea, I'll upload it for free everywhere I can though.

>>14501713

I'm not really aiming for amazing graphics, just something fun to make AND to play. So that might cross out Unreal unless I go with Unreal3 instead of 4 (which is a terrible idea but I have a weak PC currently.)

I'd post my idea but I'm paranoid someone will steal it.

Still leaning toward Godot, but IF I have to, I guess I could bite the bullet and roll with Unity.

>>14501754

Maybe try whatever engine was used for Warcraft 3 that way your game can play on almost anything like the original Defense of the Ancients

>>14501760

It's an idea that could be done by modding DooM Which I might do first as a proof of concept and testing, adding and remove ideas. but since I'm already a dev for a popular mod on /v/, I'd rather make something of my own from scratch instead of further modding. Maybe the problem is that I don't a proper grasp of scope and I'm thinking too ambitiously.

>>14501730

Use Gimp or pirate CS4, the new adobo products offer nothing you'll miss.

>>14501804

Unreal Engine is already suited for FPS if thats what you're going for

>>14501845

I might as well, I'm just worried that Unreal4 won't run on my current PCs. Worst case scenario I end up using Unreal3.

Thank you all for the suggestions and help. I hope to report back with progress soon.

>>14501848

>Worst case scenario I end up using Unreal3

they kind of all run equally bad

if you can't run UE4, you're better off using godot/unity

>>14501818

Or use Krita, for drawing. Gimp might be better for image manipulation for textures for now, but drawing them yourself is better in Krita.

>>14501742

The only features that seem somewhat neato were from the newest After Effects but this isn't particularly useful for gamedev. Photoshop has new stuff for photo manipulation, so again not gamedev related. I have to check if they added anything to the rebranded Flash program, but I somehow doubt that. So, yes. Their main brands were good enough already.

>>14501745

>GIMP

Beside that, you're tight. But, Autodesk still seems better for animating shit in 3D from what I tried so far, so Blender has room for improvement

>>14502147

Jeremy Soule I think

>>14502150

Even without the music. The bloom ultra fantasy art style and UI.

>>14502147

Menus and music, that's pretty much it. Them loading screens.

>>14501754

Go with Godot. Easy to use, totally free, small binary, and has a very active community on 8ch due to it treating Linux as a first class citizen.

>>14497732

>>14499357

Data driven means the logic itself is driven by data (so, data can be transformed by one system, which drives changes in other systems that use the data, and such).

Also, the data, and logic are decoupled (I.e. self-contained data, no logic in same class/struct; so can be used by other systems as its just data).

In essence it’s seperating the what from the how.

So patterns like a decoupled ECS (f.e. Unity is EC not ECS, and encourages tight coupling; no mainstream engine I know of really does decoupled ECS), or MVC are basically data driven.

>>14502521

So put another way, you could have a Vector3 treated as a position, velocity, normal, or RGB tuple depending on what you feed it into?

>>14500629

Games these days have overdesigned, cluttered UI in my honest opinion. My game's UI is simplistic and inspired by older versions of Windows because it's a sandbox game and nothing but the most ergonomic and utility-oriented UI is appropriate.

But goy, don't you want to be able to view 3D models in your photo manipulation software?

>>14502574

No, that's not what he's getting at

>>14502806

also trying to make the interface work with keyboards/controllers rather than just the mouse, total pain

>>14502730

Having a hard time understanding the pattern then, because in a strong-typed language, you can't just "reinterpret" an object (casting either works in-place to a more generalized base type, or implicit casts actually create a new object instance), and non-typed languages (eg scripting languages or Lua) would just shove everything together anyways

>>14496246

How does dynamic structural damage in shooting games and stuff work? Maybe you could do something like that.

>>14502841

Data-driven is more along the lines of function dispatch tables where the data defines the logic. I'm not sure what you're trying to communicate in your posts, I have personally written an engine in a strongly typed language that used the same vector type for position, normals, and color.

>>14501632

I'm jealous of how you manage to get such consistently high FPS.

Your engines are good shit, keep it up.

So if I have two vectors, V and N, and I'm trying to find the reflect vector, R, I need to normalize V and N first, right?

>>14502647

spot on, great tune, first part of this music would fit perfectly on my game

I wonder what of search I would be able to find a similar collection of music like that

>>14503893

Only n (assuming it's the normal of the surface). The formula for reflecting is really simple: r = v - 2*(d•n)*n

>>14504051

I figured it was just N that needed to be normalized, since the 2* part basically only works if it's in the range of 0..1.

I was able to figure out that the vectors you use are treated as directions, and (0,0) is the intersection point. I'm looking at other source code as a guide here.

>>14503992

I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know the results, though I don't even have physics applied to my test guy yet. Or collision, as far as I know.

Okay maybe not.

Does anyone know how to render actors to a texture in UE4? Trying to get my inventory icons to be procedural because I'm working alone and efficiency is key.

>>14504579

Speaking of dumb bullshit, what makes more sense from a design standpoint?

>Vector2, Vector3, Vector4 class

>Only contain the minimum number of methods

>Static class called Vector that has stuff like Dot, Cross, and a bunch of other vector-specific functions, except that there is an overload that takes a V2, V3, or V4

>Basically you just call Vector.Whatever and throw shit at it and it just works

OR

>Same as above, except the static methods belong to the individual class namespaces

>You have to care which VectorN space you're using, it can't infer it

>No guarantee that all types will have the same methods

>>14504640

Forgot to mention, I like the first approach more, because I'll be having a Mathematics namespace, with a MathHelper class (static helper for floating point operations, vectors rely on it), an Interpolation class (static class for barycentric, catmull rom, etc interpolation), and a Vector class (performs vector operations).

Whereas if I do the second approach, all the vector operations clutter up the basic class namespace, and I don't want that

>>14497090

Cool, thanks. I might even switch to that one, having a working outline on my toaster would be great

Anyway, here is the shader I ended up with:

// Upgrade NOTE: replaced 'mul(UNITY_MATRIX_MVP,*)' with 'UnityObjectToClipPos(*)'

Shader "Custom/Post Outline"
{
	Properties
	{
		_MainTex("Main Texture",2D) = "black"{}
	_SceneTex("Scene Texture",2D) = "black"{}
	_MyColor("My colour", Color) = (1, 1, 1, 1)    // (R, G, B, A)
	}
		SubShader
	{

		Pass
	{
		CGPROGRAM

		sampler2D _MainTex;

	//<SamplerName>_TexelSize is a float2 that says how much screen space a texel occupies.
	float2 _MainTex_TexelSize;

#pragma vertex vert  
#pragma fragment frag
#include "UnityCG.cginc"

	struct v2f
	{
		float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
		float2 uvs : TEXCOORD0;
	};

	v2f vert(appdata_base v)
	{
		v2f o;

		//Despite the fact that we are only drawing a quad to the screen, Unity requires us to multiply vertices by our MVP matrix, presumably to keep things working when inexperienced people try copying code from other shaders.

>40 seconds to load fucking nothing

That's not unity's fault, that's you

>>14505557

tons of shit happens in Start, ideally i'm supposed to just load the scene and then in LateUpdate check if scripts that depend on each other are ready to start, after which doing their setup

but a 40 second optimization isn't really my priority at the moment

>>14505565

>a 40 second optimization isn't really my priority at the moment

Are you implying that there are performance issues in there somewhere that take up even more time?

>>14505574

no, i mean that i'm not at the stage where i need to worry about optimizations

there's hardly any content in the game as is, no point in polishing a shiny box of nothing

>>14505580

If it's taking this long to load nothing then it's critical you fix that before you start making a game.

>>14505565

I think this is a special case where you should look into optimizing the load time this early, because testing things is going to get real tedious if you need to wait 40 seconds for the game to boot every time you change a line of code.

>>14504640

>>Basically you just call Vector.Whatever and throw shit at it and it just works

Would that even work though? There are problems with that approach e.g. the cross product of two Vector2 vectors is a Vector3 along the z axis.

>>14504820

>port 1488

Nice.

>>14505651

I agree. Being able to test and iterate quickly is important; having a performance bottleneck that takes almost a solid minute to start will waste time.

>>14505519

God this is awful. Greentext is mine, redtext is yours, text is comments

<His first-time experience on an actual battlefield was the worst. He couldn't focus, was constantly scared and the hybrid form he'd chosen was too weak to actually defend himself or anybody for that matter. It was an insurgency mission to free a town in Syria being held hostage by some Salah terrorists.It was also a drastic failure. The rookies in work nor their commanders were expecting the firepower they received and many lost their lives, their limbs and their mind. Boar nearly went into a relapse (??) after witnessing the horrors that emerged.

>His first combat operation was an insurgency mission in Syria; he was sent to free a town held hostage by Salah terrorists. He failed disastrously. His squad had underestimated the enemy's firepower and paid the price in life and limb. Boar nearly went into a relapse after witnessing the brutal and merciless deaths of his squadmates. His chosen hybrid form was too weak, and fear wore down his focus.

The fewer words the better. Don't use phrases like "was the worst" or "or any X for that matter" or "the horrors that emerged" (unless there are actual Lovecraftian horrors emerging, which doesn't appear to be the case in context). And relapse of what? Alcoholism? You need more detail here.

<He sought to escape and retreat back into rehab(??), but he feared the spirit of his brother, who haunted and reminded him of his tragic past.

>He sought to retreat back into rehab, but visions of his brother haunted him.

How are you supposed to retreat to rehab in a warzone? In Syria of all places?

Also if you find yourself using the phrase "tragic past" unironically you should either change it or kill yourself.

<It was all too much for him and he forced himself to move on. Firstly, he researched into new hybrids by practicing with different animals he found on the field. At the end, his favorite came to be the Ox and the Kangaroo (?????????), who he dubbed the Bovi and the Magic Jack respectively. He spent most of his army money getting blood vials for those until the military began providing Irostars with what they required.

How in fuck's name did you find a kangaroo in the Middle East? In Syria? And don't say "it was in the zoo" because there are three zoos in Syria: one in Aleppo was shut down during the fighting there, one in Damascus is also permanently closed, and one in Kalamoon University is open but almost certainly doesn't contain a kangaroo.

Also, consider renaming your kangaroo (if you don't scrap it entirely like you should), because the name reminds me of Kangaroo Jack and god was that movie awful.

>He forced himself to move on by training and finding new hybrids. After some experimentation, his favorites became Bovi the Ox and $less_shit_name the Kangaroo. Most of his army paycheck was spend on blood vials to improve them, until the military began providing them for free to Irostar soldiers.

<To deal with his fear of blood and gore, he devoted his new time watching horror movies, visiting the morgue and those who had lost a lot in battle. Military life wasn't easy, but Boar adapted and eventually, he became closer to the men he'd seen in the books and movies. However, the guilt of murdering his brother still never fully departed.

>His time in the military scarred his mind, but he refused to let it break him. Instead of avoiding blood and gore, he spent his free time watching horror movies, visiting the morgue, and caring for other veterans of combat. Military life wasn't easy, but Boar adapted. However, the guilt of murdering his brother still never fully departed.'

Also, consider mentioning that he murdered his brother a bit earlier than literally the last line of the bio. If it were a real bio, his childhood and his brother's murder would be mentioned first in chronological order; the fact that it's not mentioned makes it appear that nothing before his first mission is relevant.

I hope you appreciate me polishing your turd. Your story has issues and I hope you address them.

>>14505519

I read the last line and then skimmed through it again to see if I missed something

>>14505671

>having a performance bottleneck that takes almost a solid minute to start will waste time.

actually building the game already takes forever for obvious reasons, so the 1 minute load time isn't exactly noticable in the long run

meanwhile in the editor it loads fast enough to test since all the assets are already in memory

>>14505691

either way, it's not Unity's fault loading times are that godawful

>>14505675

>Also, consider mentioning that he murdered his brother a bit earlier than literally the last line of the bio

Notice how I said a paragraph, there's more to this shit.

>How in fuck's name did you find a kangaroo in the Middle East? In Syria

I said he bought blood vials, should have added that he imported them.

>How are you supposed to retreat to rehab in a warzone

Character is a drug addict doing military service, his team lost and he was pulled out, barely alive. He's considering just giving up and going back to rehab.

>I hope you appreciate me polishing your turd

After telling me to kill myself? Just tell me what's wrong man, you don't have to be a dick. I'm putting myself out there.

>>14505704

that anon is trying to drag you kicking and screaming out of edgeville

>>14505718

>>14505539

How is it edgy?

It's a drug addict in a warzone

Should I add rainbows, say the operation was all okay and he made it out with no issues whatsoever?

>>14505519

Here's the thing, anon. Is this all necessary? Having that long a backstory doesn't inherently make your character interesting or your story deep. Just strikes me as overproduced.

You could even keep all of that, but fucking hell, do you need a Bio for it? Just describe it in subtle drops in in-game conversations. Even I know to do that, and I'm making a fucking platformer.

>>14505737

This is for me actually, it's reference for inner game dialogue and stuff. I just want to know if it's the right material. If Players like it I can release it in a wiki later.

>>14505704

>Notice how I said a paragraph, there's more to this shit.

Didn't catch that, sorry.

>I said he bought blood vials, should have added that he imported them.

No, the issue is:

<Firstly, he researched into new hybrids by practicing with different animals he found on the field. At the end, his favorite came to be the Ox and the Kangaroo

This strongly implies he found an ox and a kangaroo lying around in Syria and decided to make hybrid forms based on them. Consider using a different word than "practicing" to describe what he's doing. Is he fighting the animals? Is he fucking them? What? I just don't know enough about your game or its lore to make an informed recommendation.

>He's considering just giving up and going back to rehab.

I'm no military man, but afaik you can't just do that. If you have a tour you have a tour and it's not over till it's over.

>After telling me to kill myself?

It's never right to write the phrase "tragic past" unironically, and if you believe it is then you should stop writing until you don't.

>Just tell me what's wrong man

I have.

>you don't have to be a dick.

wheredoyouthinkweare.png

>>14505737

There's nothing wrong with having an in-game bio when your game isn't very story-driven. And having a thought-out timeline and history is good to keep the story consistent.

>>14505739

>This is for me actually, it's reference for inner game dialogue and stuff.

If this isn't player-facing writing, then you have a lot of freedom in how you write it. Try changing the bio from paragraph-style to a concrete timeline, it'll probably help you more.

>If Players like it I can release it in a wiki later.

Not an awful idea.

Here's the full paragraph with a few more revisions based on your answers:

>His first combat operation was an insurgency mission in Syria; he was sent to free a town held hostage by Salah terrorists. He failed disastrously. His squad had underestimated the enemy's firepower and paid the price in life and limb. His chosen hybrid form was too weak, and fear wore down his focus. Boar nearly turned to $drug again after witnessing the brutal and merciless deaths of his squadmates. He wanted to leave the army and go back into rehab, but visions of his brother haunted him. He forced himself to move on by training and finding new hybrids. After some experimentation, his favorites became Bovi the Ox and $less_shit_name the Kangaroo. Most of his army paycheck was spend on blood vials to improve them, until the military began providing them for free to Irostar soldiers. His time in the military scarred his mind, but he refused to let it break him. Instead of avoiding blood and gore, he spent his free time watching horror movies, visiting the morgue, and caring for other veterans of combat. Military life wasn't easy, but Boar adapted. However, the guilt of murdering his brother still never fully departed.

>>14505698

actually you might be wrong

i removed all the terrain/buildings and it loads nearly instantly

seems like it's more of an issue with memory/probuilder, not so much with my scripts

>>14503087

There are many ways to do dynamic damage, but it is hard to think of a game that actually does it other than Metal Gear Revengeance and some voxel-based games

Either way sounds like a lot of work

>>14501632

anyone knows how to properly do error log in Godot2?

>>14505775

Yo, I like the name Magic Jack, don't change it.

>>14504640

Vector2, Vector3, etc. and they all implement the Vector interface.

>>14505519

Sounds retarded, Allah, Souria, Bashar.

>>14497056

This. Easy money, everybody loves bacon.

>>14506081

That won't work since I'm in C# and a lot of the methods are static (which can't implement interfaces). If I push it down to the instance level, then it gets cluttered.

>>14506476

Put the static methods in the interface?

>>14506400

If you don't want the comfort meter to have sexual connotations: make it a discomfort meter.

>>14507025

I'd say so. It feels like her eyes are too low on the head, and that tooth is reminding me of that asian chick Mark used to use for the spoiler box.

>>14507004

Comfort meter sounds more comfy. Discomfort meter suggests that discomfort is the status quo.

>>14507025

Put some hair on the hoor before I accuse her of having a fivehead.

>>14507025

"Derpy" is not the word I'd use. I think it looks a little weird. The proportions are better on the right. I think you should tweak this. The texture has this sort of warm look, which is lost on the model because of that stretch - it makes the eyes look more open and alert.

>>14507025

I think there's too much head space and not enough face,if that makes any sense.

>>14507025

I think you overdid it a little bit with the blush.

But otherwise looks fine. Would have a better idea if you had hair to put on it.

>>14507079

im thinking about giving her a bit longer hair

>>14507042

Why have a comfort meter at all if comfort is the status quo? You could just use an alert icon for discomfort if the assumption is that the character is most always comfortable. If you want the player to manage comfort then I don't think making it obvious that they have a certain level of discomfort is inappropriate.

>>14507094

Comfort is a very important value, it basically encourages the player to seek comfortable conditions to get his health to regenerate faster. Something that is this dependent on your current surroundings has to be readily available at all times, to help the player understand how it works, and be intuitive. It's basically not about punishing the player for being uncomfortable, but rather about rewarding the player for being comfortable. Cooking good food, being warm, wearing appropriate clothes and being fed and hydrated.

>>14507111

This is actually very close to what I've got written down, except it's a little more stat-based. It's my solution to the age-old problem with sandbox games - roleplay crowd vs PvP chad crowd. Basically turning everything that would normally be considered vacuous roleplay into something that is actually beneficial to do.

Can someone help me remember the name of a game?

It's a 3d game with flat textures. It's mainly focus is on simulating guns. There is a lot of fine grain control over each gun. There are also some small flying helicopter enemies. The people who make it give it away free with most/all of their other games.

I want to analyze how it's control scheme is laid out and see if there's anything I can take from it.

>redraw an object facing different directions

Sprite rotation algorithm unless it's isometric top down then sorry for posting

>>14507337

I chose 3D over 2D, because I'm not that big a fan of 2D. One of the biggest factors of games that make them enjoyable to me is exploration, and that simply doesn't work as well in 2D as it does in 3D. There is so much more you can do with your level design in 3D. Being able to take a look around makes all the difference in the world.

So, that's it. Personal preference and 3D working better with the gameplay I have in mind.

Thought about 2.5D? It's when you make what is technically a 3D game, but restrict the camera in the same way a 2D game would. Little Big Planet would be an example. The assets are 3D, but it's still a sidescroller. You could use normal 3D lighting algorithms, if you did that and would get realistic shading easily.

>>14507457

A lot of 2D games are actually 3D but aren't readily apparent. Incidentally, more dimensions usually leads to flatter level design.

If you take a full, 3D level, and broke it into a graph of edges and nodes, say SM64's Tall, Tall, Mountain stage for example, you can map out every "choice" the player makes for navigating the level and express it as a graph of 2D nodes. What this means is that the level itself ends up being playable just the same, on paper, and within a 2D plane. Because of this abstraction, a lot of supposedly 3D games boils down to 2D choices.

On the other side, you have games like Rogue or Dwarf Fortress. Some games (especially platformers) are expressly 2D, and that's fine. But you get large, 2D tile-based layers in the case of the former games, and several layers make it truly 3D. The only 3D game that feels 3D off the top of my head is Descent. Everything else is just presentation or fakery.

>>14507946

>>14507972

Oh come oh, that's not fair.

You know damn well 90% of "3d" games can be distilled into pure 2D mechanics, and occasionally have a bullet with a Z value check against a player's Z value. The Z space is so often unused that there's little point in designing around it unless you go full full 3D

Yes, usually, it boils down to walking in a certain direction and jumping, which could be represented in two axes, but I'm not certain what exactly it is you want. It's like arguing that we might as well exist on a 2D plane because we, too, can only really move in one direction at a time and jump.

>>14508008

meant for >>14507985

>>14508008

I'm saying that your mechanics should embrace their 2D nature and go about it in that mindset, rather than cobble together a 2D game that pretends to be 3D and falls short

>>14508031

So occasionally a platform that you need to turn right or left to get to. Got it.

>>14508031

I'm working on a 3d platformer, so I'm now curious to ask: since according to you, Mario 64 can be boiled down to 2D actions, should it have been 2D, in your mind?

And to add to that, what, pray tell, should be added to make a game utilize the third axis to your liking, exactly?

>>14508031

Rendering a 2D game in 3D isn't pretending to be 3D, just like rendering a 3D game in 2D isn't pretending to be 2D.

>>14508046

>Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the point you're trying to make is that most 3D games don't use the six degrees of freedom that you have in three dimensional space to the full extent. Thus they're not "real" 3D.

Yeah basically this

>Anon, it doesn't have to use six DOF to be 3D

Then why is 2.5D a thing? They're 2D games at core.

>>14508180

>Then why is 2.5D a thing?

"2.5D" isn't a thing. It's a convenient, non-literal shorthand like "Half an A-Press." You can't have a half of a spacial dimension. A 2.5D game may only use two dimensions for gameplay, but it's still a 3D game, because a 3D space is being created and displayed.

>>14505519

Sounds massively gay. Are you a sandnigger?

>>14507424

>unless it's isometric top down

Yeah, 3/4 perspective (if that's an accurate term) is what I meant, sorry for not specifying.

>>14507457

>Being able to take a look around makes all the difference in the world

This is one of the reasons I would have for using 3D.

>>14507492

This is a pretty good point, though I think the number of dimensions a game is presented in will affect the experience even if it might play similarly otherwise. Imagine if Doom was top-down instead of first-person.

>>14508331

Doom and Wolfenstein actually were topdown logically, then displayed with fake 3D techniques

>>14508381

I think that's more the case with Wolfenstein. Certain parts of Doom seem to actually work off of the z-axis, projectiles being able to fly over you is one example. Regardless, both would play differently if viewed from above and not from a first-person perspective, but I see your point.

>>14508514

how did she shoot herself

>>14508514

>game

>>14508521

Bullet ricochet

>>14508521

She was shooting bottles, and tried to bounce the bullet off of a car bumper, and it bounced into her instead.

>>14508514

Can a bullet even ricochet directly back to the shooter? I feel like that's physically impossible, but I wouldn't put it past the devs to just not give a shit.

>>14508536

It's made by French people, in other words, people who have never seen a gun in their lives.

>>14508525

>>14508526

I didn't realize this game was so realistic

>>14508536

It's common sense not to shoot at a solid object, so if that's founded, then definitely. There's

I guess this game must have better bullet physics than Arma…

aww shit this reminds me… going threw the developer commentary for L4D they had a clip that explained that they cut network costs by not giving the z potion for zombies and did some fancy math to just kinda assume their z position based upon their location to make syncing multiple games easier.

Also, morning lads. I did a fair amount of research into MIDI this weekend, would anyone be interested in an info dump or would I be wasting time better spent just like making game?

Saging my own double post, but if you grab a screenshot of your image it shouldn't have any exif data in it and usually a screen shot is big enough for an imageboard. I just tested the Windows snip tool, and the image gave pretty much nothing here: http://exif.regex.info/exif.cgi

There is a reason why you slightly angle practice targets and put sand behind/beneath it etc. If the thing you shoot is hard and pointing directly at you, there is a chance it ricochets back at you or someone standing near to you. Several years back i watched a youtube channel with some dude doing test shots with new rifles, his last video was a mourning video or something because his camera man died due to ricochet.

Good to know, although i am not a fan of visual stuff. To each his own i guess.

Curved to me seems like a very comfy attribute for a monitor to have. Easier on the eyes, too.

>>14511826

It's a joke, jackass. Read the names

>>14511826

It's just a crop of a screenshot some anon took of some retard's blueprint script, with some text overlaid to make it look like a book. Then >>14510635 used it as bait and you chomped down on it like it was a steak.

>>14512002

curved is good for a personal monitor, anything else that requires multiple viewing angles and they become shit

"Fukyu Duin" should have tipped you off. Read it out loud.

Nigger, the man loves his waifu. This isn't some joke as normalfags take it, he actually loves her. The amount of work and dedication that he's willing to put into her is impressive, and it's also not something that any real vagina could ever appreciate.

>>14512183

This isn't really funny, and being attached to things that don't actually exist to the point of romance is in the realm of actual mental illness that is worrying and should not be encouraged.

>>14512106

>tripled my screen real estate

Do you actually use that much in production, seriously? I've actually gone the other direction. I ditched two 1080p monitors for a single (smaller even) higher DPI screen with a better resolution.

A person wallowing in his flaws and weaknesses like a pig in the mud is a tragedy. If you have a problem, you find a solution and fix it. Otherwise, you're basically accepting that you are defective and inferior. It's developmental suicide. You know who else glorifies mental illness? Tumblr.

>>14512203

Humans naturally need some sort of attachment, it's an unfortunate biological trait. The difference, however, is that a waifu is a much safer choice than a real woman. Your waifu won't lie and betray you, so you won't ever have to deal with the heartbreak that's commonplace and expected from a real person.

It's like how anonymous interactions with people are far safer than ones with real people, or even with usernames. If you were to say something objectionable, people could easily ruin your life, or mock you for the rest of your life, but you can leave a thread if you do that on an imageboard and move on.

Sure, you could say that it's unhealthy, but you have to realize that, most likely, if anon didn't have his waifu, he'd be completely alone, refusing to seek real people because they'd only hurt him, and that would drive him to saw off a shotgun and shoot it.

I don't know the state of mind of that anon, however, so I can only guess based on my own life.

>>14512211

What problem? He's happy, bothers no one, doesn't try to get laws passed that allow him to marry his waifu, and he's Mexican so it's not like he has a duty to keep his birthrates up.

There's nothing healthier than spending time with your beloved.

>>14512229

>The dude taught himself to render in 3D and created himself a waifu. Sounds like he had a problem and found a solution.

You're deflecting from what seems to be a serious obsession by saying that "well, he solved another problem he had so it's okay!". I'm concerned about a fellow dev - I wouldn't give a fuck if he was some random anon. I know he has merit and there's value to be lost if he further loses grip on reality.

>>14512227

He's in love with an imaginary character. That's delusional. Mental illness festers if left unchecked.

>>14512226

You have trust issues and are paranoid. Not everyone is out to get you.

Everyone has obsessions, some are stronger than others, some are unhealthy and some are more normalfaggy, but everyone has them in some way or another. No one can change his mind on this topic except he himself no matter what anons will tell him. I mean if someone told you to stop deving games, would you? All we can do is hope he at least has the will to reproduce someday and understand what he is doing might not be the best thing and offer our opinion.

>>14512230

Damn those chinks aren't kidding around, with all the assets they have available now you could make an entire game at this point.

>>14512262

Nobody is trying to bully him, and I wouldn't care if I didn't care about his well-being. This waifu shit is a good way to actually damage your own sanity.

>>14512255

You joke, but eventually this could lead to a serious delusion.

>>14512269

I wouldn't stop devving games in any scenario, but you're comparing a love for a craft to a romance with a non-existent entity. It's two very different things, anon.

>>14512230

Jesus fuck this voice, its some form of a transfaggot. HOW CAN THEY SERIOUSLY THINK A SANE PERSON WANTS TO HEAR THAT. No wonder they didn't sell gaymess.

Give the character a bulge and use it as a mandatory diversity character
