looks cute AF

ill fix for offline support and post tomorrow

>>>/gas/

>>15998084

here's a build with offline support (might be some bugs with swapping between online/offline)

also F10 goes back to menu from in-game

>Unity for a top down 2D rpg-style game

This is why gaming is so shit

>>15998224

What should he have done instead?

>>15998237

You know what I don't actually know. If you know how to program and use libraries it would be relatively trivial to make something like this without an engine, i.e. to make your own. But it's unreasonable to expect everyone do that so it's fair to use an engine, however there doesn't seem to be a good non-jewish one that's optimized for 2D games now that I think of it.

>what if harvest moon

>but with competitive online

I thought only talentless, unmotivated idea guys came up with pitches this bad

>>15998254

You can't just make games without an engine, that's something that was done 30 years ago. Unity isn't necessarily a bad choice since it supports 2D games, as long as OP keeps his code clean it's fine. Starjew Valley was made in microsofts game engine and nobody complains about that.

>>15997809

>multiplayer

Into the trash it goes.

>>15997823

Harvest Moon just uses gold, not real world currency.

>>15998682

>You can't just make games without an engine

>microsofts game engine

XNA isn't a game engine, it's a framework which is effectively just a bunch of libraries in one, which essentially means SJWalley uses a custom game engine.

godot

Oh no, an Anon is trying to do something productive! Let's dogpile him, quickly!

>>15998254

Don't use XNA, it's dead. Instead, use MonoGame if you want to use C#, libGDX if you want to use Java (before you >Java, it's just a less featureful C#), LÖVE if you want to use Lua, Phaser for JavaScript (and before you >JavaScript, Cross Code is written in JavaScript and it's correctly performant; fuck, even 3D works well in JavaScript nowadays), PyGame for Python even though I don't recommend it due to its ass backwardness, SDL for C if you want to be a /tech/ LARPer, or whatever game libraries are available for your meme language of choice.

Using Unity is "okay", though. The engine is shit, requires you to rewrite as much stuff as building your own engine using game libraries, some behaviour os hardcoded so you need to buy the source code license to modify it (worst offender is the asynchronous level loader, which isn't very asynchronous) doesn't work all that well in GNU/Linux builds, has shit controller support, the UI may be overkill for 2D, the executables may be a few MB bigger than with custom solutions (which won't be all that low, considering you are not a demoscener), shit modding capabilities, eventual editor crashes, etc., but all performant 2D nowadays is just ortographic 3D. Software rendering is slow as balls, and basic graphic libraries (OpenGL, DirectX) all work with 3D.

>>15998682

Holy shit you're retarded.

>>15998848

>before you >Java, it's just a less featureful C#

With worse optimization and a shittier userbase you'll be forced to learn from that somehow manages to be shittier than their streets. Which is a miracle since they're all from India.

>>15998880

I'd play a farming MMO

>>15998895

no you wouldnt

I don't think multiplayer really works well with the social aspect of Harvest Moon-type games. Just make it entirely about farming.

>>15998906

I would, I'd even consider making one if I knew how to into networking. Bet you're just afraid of people stealing your potatoes, why don't you try being less of a cropcuck.

>Multiplayer

Great way to fuck up what makes a farming simulator good. No comfy farm with a bunch of niggers raiding your crops and shoving you in the shipping bin for the lulz.

>>15997809

Can you be a mountainman and can you raid the nearby town for their booze and or womenfolk?

i dont care about engine, this is just design testing prototype - it's basically just using unity as a glorified sprite renderer

>>15999015

that's the whole point

>>15998937

agree in general, i like solo farming chill too but there's already a billion

>>15998950

cropcuck lel

>>15998848

yeah, unity does the job for now, xna is too dead, i'll just do vanilla C if need to rewrite/shrink (or the new unity tiny thing)

>>15999110

thinking you should be able to grab wives from town and bring them to work on your farm (or take them from your neighbour)

>>15999144

So, slavery mechanics too? I like you.

>>15998682

>Unity isn't necessarily a bad choice since it supports 2D games

As far as I know it's just a 2d plane in a 3d world.

It's a fucking 3d only engine and a really bad one at that. (Remember Yokay Leelee or however it was called)

I played Return of the Tentacle and it uses really much CPU while the game is an abstract point and click adventure.

Every other engine in existence is better than Unity!

Godot has a separate Engine for 2D. That alone makes it miles better for 2D.

I never played one single Unity game with good performance. Even the browser games back in the days which used the Unity browser plugin had shit performance. (However better than all other browser solutions but since it died that hardly matters.)

>>15999182

There is no such thing as 3D. Technically speaking there is 0 difference between 2D and 3D games under the hood. The reason you think otherwise is because most 3D games use a perspective projection matrix. Read a book on graphics before talking about shit you have no idea about.

>>15999226

>3D doesn't exist just because rasterized triangles are 2D

t. Mount stupid.

>>15999226

There's a lot of differences though. Collisions, physics, optimizations such as not rendering what you can't see, rendering pipelines to support 3d lighting/effects, and 3 dimensional sound space are all more complicated in 3 dimensions. The engine has to use a more complicated version of most things if it's not optimized for 2D.

I'm fucking dyslexic so I hope everyone sees me make and delete 7 posts because of shitty typos.

>>15998237

use godot

>Anonymous imageboards are all about appeals to authority!

this sage is for offtopic, which I'm telling you since I know you're already smugly typing about how sage isn't a downvote

>>15999243

Nice attempt but no. Graphics cards can only draw triangles meaning that even the most 2D engine still draws its sprites as quads. There is no 2D mode in neither DirectX nor OpenGL / Vulkan. Your 2D engines just don't use the Z axis at all (or rather they do, usually for layering). All software still uses vertex buffers the exact same way, so the difference between Crysis and Shovel Knight is nothing but the vertex count, the shaders and the projection matrix used in those shaders.

>>15999302

I paid a small fortune for that sub.

>>15999302

Thanks doc.

>>15999204

Name a single game powered by Unity that doesn't require a quantum computer to work relatively stable.

>>15999528

2D: Cuphead, Hollow Knight, Darkwood, I'm pretty sure Blizzard's card game runs well but I've never played it, Ori and the Blind Forest

3D: I'm pretty sure Kerbal Space Program runs decently, though stable is subjective there, Overcooked, Infinifactory, and for all their faults and the complaints about them I haven't heard people bitch about the performance of Gone Homo or Life is Shite

I dislike Unity because of their practices as a company, but anons are right about the fact that most of the bitching about performance should be directed towards incompetent people using it, not jewnity.

>>15999226

>There is no such thing as 3D

This is so goddamn required I completely forgot I could respond. Technically speaking you're the biggest stupidest gorilla nigger ever to shit on this board.

Can I fuck a loli in this?

>>15998848

>Putting effort into something means you should be appreciated for it.

Imagine being this coddled. You get appreciated if you put effort into something and you weren't born retarded so that something is actually good. Losers of the genetic lottery need not apply, and if they had any grace or pride, they would shoot themselves, but I guess being devoid of those goes hand in hand with being shit at everything.
