Hey /v/! What's everyone working on today?

>>717179245 (OP)
too many threads attracts nodev shitposters

>>717180054
Only if the threads are bait or some low-effort "what game should I play" garbage. Real threads with actual projects or dev progress filter them out pretty well. I'd rather lurk a dozen /agdg/ style posts than scroll past another "is X still worth playing?" every hour.

>>717180101
more threads means less progress in each of them which means either the thread dies or it gets filled with shitposting

trying to sort out my folder images. It's huge mess, I never take the time to sort things out.

>>717179245 (OP)
working on a farming game in CT.js so it'll be mobile-friendly and I can learn javascript. where do yall find (or make) 2D assets? as you can tell, i am only using free assets as placeholders at the moment.

I need a 3d artist and animator

Currently collecting 100+ images to source and use as references for spriting a fuck ton of items for my old people gamblecore roguelite
I have these so far, trying to not make any or too many repeat items.
The goal is to have at least 20-30 items made between today and tomorrow

>>717179245 (OP)
Haven't posted since March. I was working on a Conquest of Elysium-like prototype, but it sucked ass because I'm a shitty strategy designer
Instead of trashing it I kept iterating on the things I did like, and combined it with other prototypes I've made
So much has changed that it's now a virtual pet game with combat similar to minion builds in ARPGs lol. But it's a lot better and I have a firmer grasp on where I want to take it. I think I may actually release this one, eventually.

I'm gonna make it big

>>717179245 (OP)
What the fuck is the Blazium Engine and why is Godot not there in the image?

Here is some work from a month ago which I have not shown on 4chan before.

>>717185424
its a pretty old image with no clear origin. godot is 10 years old so i assume it was unknown when the image was made

Fixed some bugs, made some new animations, got a workflow that can generate semi competent lip syncing.

Anybody dev on Linux? Is any engine besides Godot just asking for a miserable time? Maybe I should just Godotver my apprehension and install it?

i made 80 dollars on selling ai made 3d models
im trying to make a complete 100% ai made game since i dont know coding or anything

any tips or suggestion?

you're great at animating things but you are doing the same thing AAA has been doing since 7th gen, you're prioritizing animations over gameplay. vaulting over things, starting a wallrun, starting a climb up, all of these actions stop the character dead in its tracks and happen too slowly in general.

GAMEPLAY FIRST!

How easy is it to start making a shooter on Unreal Engine?

>>717187387
Godot's great. The license alone makes it worth it. Unless you have a 100+ people team with a 500k budget, and some absolutely necessary M$ programs you've sunk a decade into, you can't ask for more.

>right click on node
>Godot crashes

>>717192375
it's easy to start making anything in any engine. don't worry about starting a game project. it's actually getting anywhere with it that's the problem.

Kek that climb animation

is cryengine good ?

>>717194068
undocumented. you won't know how to do things and nobody will be able to tell you.

--->small update today---
>added new armor set to game, needs more tweaking but generally happy with the result.
>working on animation blueprints and state changes with AI and adding more animations to my main character.
Honestly feels good to get back into blender or work on something other than widgets and widget focus.

>>717193279
can you program my enemies for me

>>717186463
that looks pretty feature complete. dope

>>717194745
you don't want that

>>717194647
nice palette

>>717195113
i do want that, your goblins are so much better than my kobolds

>>717155407
Thread was removed because a whiner nodev reported it.

>>717194745
mobile game? what kind of programming do the kobolds have?

>>717195154
I recommend using a state machine for the enemies and taking designing what they have to do in each and how they move from one state to another. Once you have that, set up the navigation with a navmesh and a nav agent. Don't worry about attacks no other stuff until you got the navigation nailed.

>>717195113
>Makes the shield stronger than sword.
To what end? Not only in knock back but also they are stunned, you should make using the WEAPON a bit more valuable.

>>717195116
Thanks man, this one went through a number of renditions. I have a new knight armor ill probably replace with the first set I made. The leggings are hard to see but they are just faded green wraps and I will change the boot material to match the set better.
>>717195113
Hey anon, darksoulsbro here, I never asked but when it comes to your goblins does Godot have an ai system or how do your goblins know what to do?

>>717195686
And for a good reason, game dev generals belong to /vg/
>inb4 unusable
yeah whatever

>>717197117
waahhhhhhh

>>717180208
That is up to the dev though.

>>717196881
does godot use state machines?

>>717196990
using the shield bash costs stamina, which recharges slow during combat. Shield bash is meant to be useful and your only way of crowd control at the start of the game.
>>717197078
>how do your goblins know what to do?
Godot does include A* for pathfinding, but aside from that it's all code
>>717197404
state machines afaik are't engine dependant. It's just a way of coding logic, not a tool nor anything like that,

One day all this coding nonsense will make sense and I'll be able to game a game for sure. Just gotta keep grinding function templates.

>>717197545
>all code
Now that's effort lol. But honing the code for them and making it work well with your system keeps everything lean.
My ai system is pretty silly but thats ue5 for ya

>>717179245 (OP)
nothing I'm taking a break for today.

>>717198442
yeah indeed, it took me like 3 months to have the goblins doing all the stuff they do right now. It's frustrating and a lot of work, but it's also fun to see the dudes do the stuff you coded them to do.

>make game
>happiest day of my entire life

I don't feel like gamedevving anymore. But if I do ever go back to gamedevvving is there an alternative to itchio that won't dox me?

>>717198715
hell yeah man, they're definitely looking good. I take the approach of dropping my enemies in the game, seeing how they beave and go nope don't do that, how do I make you stop lol. It's painstaking but it's worth it.

>>717198932
is this related to the porn ban?

>>717198932
why did they do that? I don't that site what makes it popular for indie devs?

Part 2. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

>>717192287

Good point. I need to speed things up. More fluid.

>>717193987

It's all in a rough state at the moment.

>>717194840

It pretty much is, yeah. I am mainly working on mocap at the moment. Getting ready to make my first cutscene. NLA editor is done and mocap integration too. I am literally fixing and expanding on Rokoko's Unity plugin to accomodate my project. Also begun adding ARKIT blendshapes to the models.

I am not taking any prisoners with this project. This is going to be the one, I can feel it.

>>717194647

Loving the progress.

>>717195113

Loving your sword and shield implementation and bumping goblins of bridges.

>>717198932

Man, that sucks.

>>717198932
How did Itch doxx you?

>>717199703
happy to help! I know we are all posting rough game design, I don't mean to be too harsh. You're much further than I am.

Spent 6 hours refactoring my main gameplay loop, then it took me 30 minutes to actually benefit from it thanks to polymorphism.

>>717199703
thanks man! also holy damn, you got a lot of mechanics already in. Good job! It's looking very nice.

>>717199703
I really dislike the implication of you using the ramp to get out of the water both times. you even got stuck a little the second time. the ramp should not be necessary at all. remove the ramp to force yourself to address this issue asap.

how could I fix this in Godot? the camera clips through the 3D models. I guess I should fade them but I'm not sure how. A shader? Or is there some setting in the mesh node for this?

>>717202494
if gobbo.global_position.distance_to(camera) < 0.1:
gobbo.visible = false

>>717202494
Yeah reducing their opacity via a shader if they're too close to the camera would do the trick.
If the enemies have a collider you can utilize that.

>>717202494
there's a setting for that on the materials. there's also custom shaders for it

>>717202494
raycast from the player transform (the transform the camera is following) to the camera. camera can at most be [distance of this raycast] away. don't bother with transparency shaders, that'll just let players peek out of the intended geometry. it just creates more issues.

>>717202494
Is there an easy way to do this in unreal too?

>>717202889
*raycast to the intended camera position, not its actual position.

>>717202494
I like that Elden Ring applies dither transparency to object that the camera would clip through. Is there a name for this effect?

>>717199703
I'm not an expert but your running movement speed feels off from you running animation speed. Also I would make the dust? Cloud when you land a bit smaller. More of a puff and less of a cloud.

>>717198932
Ah don't give up just like that. Andy and Leyley dev got doxxed but she's continuing her incest cannibal game

Still working slowly on my '12 identical sisters' VN. Unsure if I want to keep Blue facing away or covering up her face or something; it makes it harder for her to emote.

>>717203504
thanks anons. I did a quick test with the material settings and while it works, it's weird because the inner side is being rendered, so there are instances where for example the back of the head of the goblin has become transparent, but not the face. I'll try to look into more manual solutions, like the shader some of you suggested. ty!

What's an easy engine for a total idiot to make an fps?

>>717204386
Godot
>t. total idiot

>>717204386
Unreal is supposedly an FPS engine but I went Godot

>>717198932
How did it even doxx you?

Thank you friends. Here is a picture of a mantis I found.

>>717204623
hell yeah, thanks anon! so much shit still to learn
>>717205115
awesome! reminds me of Baki lmao

>>717205651
Watching that death animation makes me wish you had a way to trip him up on the ground like that before slashing him or shield bashing him away

>>717202494
Set a raycast on the camera that points at the player
Make the raycast collidable with things you want to clip out
When the raycast is triggered, change the camera's "near" value to whatever you want, or you could always lerp-move the camera translation towards the player.
That's what I do and it works fine

SHRIMP GAME campaign demo soon bros. plz redeem wishlist I love you anons

>>717206108
>Set a raycast on the camera that points at the player
no, this is wrong. I already gave the correct solution. you have to raycast the other direction so you hit the obstacle closest to the player, not the one closest to the camera. there can be more than one obstacle.

>>717203504
That is called dithering. This is the tutorial I plan to follow once im ready.

>>717208052
I don't even have 10

My goal is to make a game that's better than Concord and even better than Marlow Briggs

>Isn't this wolf the coolest boss... EVER?
People with money aren't very smart. Thankfully anons are all poor.

>>717208052
My game isn't even on steam lmao

>>717208052
There are a few forums I am well known at for advertising, and I planned on using egs

>>717205651
I like the fade on the goblin when he dies. I should probably do something similar, mine just stay there dead lol.

>>717180781
gimp for pixel art, krita for drawing

>>717184493
my man!

Ugh, I hate refactoring so much. Please let this be the last time.

>>717194068
I downloaded it and the forest demo and sure, it ran at 60fps at 1080p and the graphics looked better than what I'm making. I just wanted the trees from the demo what a nightmare trying to export them and import them into blender.

>>717207974
Doesn't matter NOW WHAT HAPPENS I WILL NEVER GIVE UP THE FIIIIIGHHT, just coming up with ideas for shit in the first place, I can generally sprite from there

>>717195113
i see that if you just kite them they should be easy enough to fight.
do they know how many friends they have around them? if they do make it so 20% of them try to flank you or get behind you.
or just make it a 20% chance of any goblin trying to get behind you when they start initiating

>>717208052
I haven't even properly shown my gameplay yet even though it's the bulk of my codebase let alone start to make the steam page

This is not a million dollar game. YouTube chat wants to watch the streamer die to the boss 20 times and everything else is downtime that they are incapable of appreciating.

the other anon wasn't me. I had planned on green goblins for later on in the game, maybe in a forest or a swamo. Didn't know how to differentiate them but using spears sounds like a cool idea.

>>717214774
That is actually cool to hear. I hope most of them get it.

The concept reminds me of Facade, but better

>>717223532
I'll give it a shot.
