are you making progress on your game?
will you submit to demo day?

Mech not stompy enough

>>714259283
it's surprisingly tricky to find a good mech stomping sfx

>>714259057 (OP)
that indie game is that OP?

>>714259057 (OP)
For a second there I thought this was a Cris thread but then I noticed significant amount of quality that isn't common with his work

Stop spamming/flooding, zogbot.

>>714259396
nice try shlomo

thanks for playing levi

yes

>>714259313
Yeah headmovement is hard to recreate when our brains naturally filter that shit out.

>>714259283
>>714259313
Even bigger franchises like the mechwarrior games struggle with that shit.

demos are too hard, but im building more mission components

how are you people this retarded stop attacking individuals

Did the Jannies start deleting ES KAY GEE threads again?
Literally right at the finish line also lmao
80% in the next few minutes

>>714260134
where the fuck do you think you are, also
>stop attacking a confirmed furryfucker who talked shit about this entire movement guys, that's mean!
talk shit get hit bitch, go cry about it on plebbit

>>714260134
Stop abusing ferrets Jason you sick fuck

Ukraine lost. So did Germany. Again.

>>714260227
They have. They were being spammed with gore and so the simplest course of action was to delete the threads instead of them doing their job. The moderation on this site is a complete joke.

>>714259057 (OP)
Slowly starting to learn blender.
God, I'm fucking happy to see the petition going so strong. Why the fuck do the mods think this is "le politics"? We're literally talking about vidya.

>the latest unity hub online nonsense
what happened, i dropped out of gamedev but im curious if my decision to avoid unity was justified after all

>>714261327
https://x.com/KenneyNL/status/1940173523126734954?t=coJ1sDSzwurTgQRifaQGkg&s=19

i've stalled because i can't visualize my game anymore. i know, logically, all of the pieces but i can't "see" it.

>>714259057 (OP)
Very shitty movement, no weight, the mech just glides along the floor and snaps between animations. Not trying to be mean. Fix that and it will be fine.

>>714261440
hhholy shit man, guess i was justified
oh well the dark ages had to come at some point

>>714261440
So this is just so they can train their AI on your game?

Nice to see actual Euros joining in, since ive only seen Americans talking about it for the past week

How to implement hardness? Plain damage reduction seems lame, but I really can't think of anything else? Rpg btw

>>714262694
you mean armour plating and penetration?

>>714262694
x/(x+10)

>>714262694
what a backwards way of doing things
shouldn't you name mechanics depending on what they do and what you need rather than starting with an arbitrary concept and twisting game mechanics according to it?

>>714263167
More like x/(x+x/10), else 10 might not do much if there's 5 digit damage.
>>714262958
Pretty much. Some weapons or 'elements' should be of limited effect in combat. Pillars 2 made penetration a super stat, that unacceptable.

>>714264928
Nah see, that's how you end up with “tension” meters that actually just mean “special attack fuel” or “grit points” that really just lower your dodge chance. The aesthetics around a mechanic can define how it feels, even if under the hood it’s a glorified % calc. "Hardness" evokes a solid, physical image, so twisting the math to serve the theme is totally valid if it sells the vibe. It’s game *design*, not spreadsheet assembly.

>>714264928
Idk, should I? The goal is to have an arsenal of distinguishable weapons that not only feel different to each other, but also to add a strategic layer. Sabre are ineffective against plate armor and highly effective against soft targets. That's all there is. If the curved weapon is heavy enough, it will do considerable damage, even if cuts are prevented, hence I named this hardness.

>>714265035
well then, answering this entirely depends on how much time do you have. my best example on how to do things would be warthunder - it's not super realistic, but it actually models the interior and damage caused by penetrated schrapnel, spall etc.

>>714265082
>totally valid if it sells the vibe
That's all their is. People are buying a mechanic if it's serving the physical image.

>>714265208
By gaijin entertainment? Is there a way to look up how exactly their systems work?

>>714265341
probably not, it's all closed source, but i'm telling you right now, if you're 1ma abandon this idea immediately, unless you want to spend a year just on that.

>>714259396
stop killing games

>>714265341
>>714265491
also just remembered it, google "demarre formula", it's what they use iirc

>>714265491
There must be a solution where you achieve 60% of what they did with 2% of the work.

>>714265924
Awesome, thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. It's even historical accurate. Shame on everyone bad talking this particular... sub.

>>714265167
That's a perfectly solid approach, anon. Naming it "hardness" makes intuitive sense in context-it instantly tells the player that you're dealing with how resilient a material is to certain types of force, not just mitigating numbers. You’re threading that magic line between mechanical clarity and flavor. Just make sure the abstraction doesn't get in the way of readability-like, if a player has to memorize hardness values for 20 armor types, that’s pain. Maybe pair it with visual feedback-sparks for glancing blows, cracks for partial penetration, etc. Helps sell the effect without needing a damage log spreadsheet.

>are you making progress on your game?
yeah, working on the inventory. Think I have a good idea of how I want to design it.
>will you submit to demo day?
no. I don't like setting up deadlines. Had enough of those at work lmao.
>have you heard about the latest unity hub online nonsense?
don't care about that kind of stuff. Whatever it is I hope no one is affected.

Testing ledge grabbing and climbing into small gaps

>>714269847
pretty cool!

>>714269847
What engine? Looks like UE

>>714270948
Unity

>>714269847
Holy shit this is impressive. Good stuff, anon, I'd like to keep tabs on your project.

>>714269847
cool

>>714269847
ouch

>>714269847
Sweet, I've been trying to do ledge grabbing too but for a first-person project with a Mirror's Edge style character controller. Either it's really hard to get it jank-free or I'm retarded.

Federx wtf are you doing here bitch nigga

released a public update last month to let people try out the boss fight. currently working on the atmosphere of the next mission areas.

wip area theme for atmosphere https://vocaroo.com/1ayvda7EOgCP
first time doing something vaguely jazz-like so it's barebones

>>714259057 (OP)
What game is that?
>>714259396
I will never understand the countersignaling short of trolling and unironic feds.

>>714268617
>You’re threading that magic line between mechanical clarity and flavor.
Slippery slope, ain't it?

>>714275565
Try playing Thief for a bit. That game has very responsive first-person ledge grabbing.
>look at ledge
>jump and keep space bar pressed
>you stop mid-air for a moment while the player grunts
>keep holding down the space bar
>player climbs
it's fluid, satisfying and quite precise. You can even climb through windows or other small holes.

start killing games
there's 20 000 games coming out on steam every year and not even half a percent are worth your time
art has no value if you can't remember it

agdg is dev...

How hard is it to make a decent game on your own if you are starting from no experience ever (and still need to lern to code)? Is building fresh with no engine at all viable?

>>714268617
>Just make sure the abstraction doesn't get in the way of readability-like, if a player has to memorize hardness values for 20 armor types, that’s pain
And honesty unnecessary, too. Can't convince me that 20+ damage types are needed. I have two physical 'elements' and three magical ones. The latter come with % status changes. Focus on elements isn't damage, but their effects.
>visual feedback
They have distinct hues and logos, so that it is easily recognisable even without reading.
>feedback on hit
I really don't like it, but it'd not only modern, it's easy to grasp, hence already have that in mind. Games are fun, if they are visually appealing.
>spreadsheet
Rpgs tend to be like that. I feel we didn't advance rpg systems for 20 years, maybe more.

>>714276358
Yeah the "killing games" you are talking about isn't even what's happenning, what's happenning isn't solving any problem, only depriving consumers of rights. Do you people even look into this shit before you start talking about it?

>>714276639
Depends on the game, doesn't it? Ruza is a free game on steam, with serviceable music and graphics and it took nearly ten years part time.

>>714276639
It really depends on the scope of the project.
But I'd say for any typical indie game you're looking at 2-3 years of learning before you're even actually making your game. (not including small projects like Pong) Probably double to triple that if you're making your own engine.

Not hard if you know what exactly do you want. Like you can imagine your game to a single pixel, then it's not hard. You need a vision.

>>714277024
If I want to make music for a game using digitial software, what would be particularly good for that?

>>714276639
depends on the type of game, i started with 0 C# experience (but i knew python, c++ and java from school), the biggest problem for me for now its art assets

Anon, crosshair doesnt look good desu.

this is awesome.

I don't know, I simply record sounds from IRL, chop them, mix them, etc.

>Stop killing all these shitty games!
No wonder the industry is shit

I havent really committed yet but I am considering redesigning the sprites again because now I can implement the LEWD cheat code in the in game sprite instead of just the splashwork.
