thanks for starting a new thread
Honestly, how much does a pixel art game needs to use delta time? Iยดm struggling to implement this thing. I was hoping to use it for some cool slowdown effects too but itยดs a waste of time if I just canยดt make this work
>one chance at life
>required to waste half my waking hours every week slaving away at a job I hate surrounded by people I hate
>in return I get to just barely make enough money to not be homeless or starve to death
fuck this gay earth
I'm either making a million dollar game or tapping out of this mortal coil
>>533454613You use delta time for everything that processes things in real time.
>>533454335I love these games, they're so underrated. Death of the Reprobate was worth every penny.
>>533454661that's the attitude you have to have with this Earth.
Not a 'settle down and grow old' attitude. A burn the boats attitude.
Personally, my plan is to make the games and then actually bring the Spiritual ( Non-violent ) Apocalypse.
Is the grifterdev hustle & bustle finally over?

just like make a fun game
fuck it maybe I'll make a daggerlike
>>533455662by daggerlike we mean Daggerfall, not acgual.. daggers.. angong..
When modelling a ship is it better to do each part separately, then figure out how to connect the mesh..? or extrude always?
(for a game with real time lighting where it would affect the shadows)

>>533454704I know. The question is, do I NEED to use in my game so it works with potato machines? I wanted to add it as itยดs obviously a good thing to have, but I donยดt want to waste days stuck trying to do this
>>533455840Do it all at once.

>>533456013I've been away from the general and gamedev for about a year and stopped following the gamedev grifter scene. What are the BiteMe guys up to these days? Are they still worth watching for the cringe factor, or have they tightened up their act?

Hey lads,
I've been working on the Puzzle Mode level select screen these past few days, I'm almost done with it, I still need to implement the levels' star scoring system and the names of each level (like where it says "Kyubu Kyubu Island"). Many of the backgrounds will change but so far so good. I'll make a few levels and then implement all that logic.
Keep at it.
>>533456538Seriously, why did they stop getting talked about? Did their fanboys give up after they did their DD episode?

>>533454661>>533455018>Not a 'settle down and grow old' attitude. A burn the boats attitudeDon't "burn the boats" on fucking gamedev, the most saturated hobby jobby and abolute worst way to make money in existence. Even Indians working in a scammer call center have more earning potential than the average gamedev.
Burn your boat somewhere good, pick literally any other way of making money. You could make some enterprise HR SaaS product and you'd probably make more money than you will with some bing bing wahoo autism toy for retarded faggot kids, which is all a videogame is.

It is a leasure activity for people who are comfortable in life not for hand-to-mouth wagies desperately trying to fix their lives. You are wasting your time here with this fanciful childish distraction. Go do something that will actually improve your life.
>>533456795>Seriously, why did they stop getting talked about?Probably because I stopped posting here lol. I made practically every Marnix edit that used to get posted here. I found their clueless approach to game development really entertaining.
>Did their fanboys give up after they did their DD episode?This was what made me lose interest in them. I liked having a clear separation between BiteMe and /agdg/. Introducing Marnix to this general was a big mistake (which I had no part in). As is usually the case with 4chan it was probably some underaged retard who wanted attention and took the joke too far, unable to foresee the obvious consequences.
>>533456537flyknight was done in 6 months

disgusting incompetent griftoid freak aint real devs

>>533457454not to defend that grifter youtuber but both those devs had years of experience in gamedev
>>533457454flyknight was a gamble and yomih was a chance success
no one is able to explain why either succeeded
>>533457216>>533457249Thanks laddies, we just have to keep moving forward
>>533457476Don't wanna spoil the plot of my game too much, but the gist is;
Shiva and Shakti meet in this flesh and dissolve the entire world in a marriage ceremony which was partially hinted at in the Kabbalah and also in the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.
Then it's only us left.
>>533457563Do you think that you should be able to release a successful game without having years of experience in gamedev?
Do you think that successful devs just pop into existence one day and release an absolute banger on their first attempt? I don't know of any examples of this.
>>533457796>Shiva and ShaktiGOOD MORNING SIR.
>>533458064Good Morning fellow sir.
Thinking of adding a map screen to my game, I might leave it for later but it could come in handy.
>>533456538>>533456795I lost interest when they decided that assets should dictate the games they make desu.
That kind of development is incredibly soulless.
>>533457871????
That's what I'm getting at
>>533458173How so? You can only ever make games based on what you have from skills to assets, pre-made or able to make. They're already good in the marketing department.
I love modelling and animating but hate texturing
it's so beyond over. I will never make a peak game unless I'm part of a team.
>>533456565I doubt you actually wanted an answer, but since you asked I'm going to give you one.
This isn't unique to game development, it's a phenomenon which happens in any antisocial hobby. It happens in game development often because game development is an offshoot of programming, and learning to program is an extremely antisocial activity that requires many hours spent alone at the computer. Think of how often this happens in video game and anime communities as well. Any hobby for shut in losers is a breeding ground for trannies.
It's extremely unhealthy for the human brain to spend extended periods alone. Being trapped in your own head leads you down dark paths of thought which the brain creates to keep itself entertained. This can include things like questioning your sexual or gender identity. You have no one else in your life to tell you these thoughts are retarded, so you take them as fact because your own brain told them to you.
Obviously people in game development/programming communities trooning out is nothing new, and that's the other half of the problem. The more trannies who exist within a community the faster they'll begin to proliferate. Those who've already trooned out will seek out other lonely people who are beginning to fall down the rabbit hole I just described to accelerate the process. So now those losers don't just have their own brain telling them they might be a woman, they also have real people telling them it's totally natural and to listen to those thoughts. Rinse and repeat.
>>533458292Because it's not about
>I want to make this game and I'm going to figure out how I can make itIt's now about
>What can I make from this list of assetsI dunno it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Like there is no passion in it.
>>533458173>they decided that assets should dictate the games they make desuWhat do you mean exactly? Like they were asset packs and deciding to make games based on the theme of whatever the pack contained (like sci-fi/fantasy/etc.)? That sounds boring but not a terrible idea if you actually want to make a game that looks visually cohesive (albeit pretty soulless).

>>533454034 (OP)Want to make a chain of memories clone, the deckbuilder market isn't over saturated right????

>>533459883um sorry anon but I'm already doing that so you're gonna have to screw off
>>533459883>Deckbuilder but it's an action game instead of a boring turn-based gameHoly ludo. I've got an idea too. What if you could unlocks certain cards on a globular grid and you can set it up so your party members can use certain cards when they have them? It's like playing multiple decks but like by yourself! You could have a healer deck and a tank deck!
Realizing that as long you use a standard humanoid rig, there are thousands of free animations and no one would be able to tell the difference.
>>533460813>he thinks thousands are enough
>>533459710https://youtu.be/5o3d9L4G25s
if you're making a deckbuilder game make it an actual fucking card game not a fukkin action game with cardslop UI slapped on top
AT LEAST make the cards a part of the games world/lore
>>533461065>d-dude it's about the hecking cool l-lore and not the actual using the c-cards!
>>533459535There is no inherent value in shipping. Even I have shipped before. But my game turned out to be garbage, meaning I am in fact worse than a nodev, because at least nodevs arenโt polluting the world with garbage.

>>533461203why not just make a regular action game? where you can select from a wide array of different skills and use them like the cards? why are the cards there?? MAKES NO GYATT DAMN SENSE
>>533461226this is such a nodev thing to say
>>533461203I hate lorefags too but he does have a point. Don't just slap card mechanics on top of an existing genre and call it a day. Maybe the cards are pages in a book you're gradually collecting over the course of the game or something. Have a reason why there's cards and not action buttons.
>>533461371No. Only someone who has actually released a failed game can properly understand the pointlessness of releasing for the sake of releasing.
>>533459710I love this anon
>>533461348Not him, but I think skills are dumb too. This is why games where you have a moveset from the beginning that you learn to use in different scenarios is better. It's another reason sequels are dumb because it's like the character forgot everything and you have to pick it back up.
>>533460813Normies can tell default UE look from Unity and default UE5 locomotion animations(for example used in only up!)
>>533461226You grew in self criticism and skills and you have something to write in the resume. It was worth something.
>>533460813Yeah this is true. Unless you're doing something very specific you're probably fine using canned animations.
>>533461817>default UE5 locomotion animations(for example used in only up!)This is mainly because it's kind of shitty and they've seen it a thousand times over. Most free animations are not that over exposed.
A lot of people were surprised to learn that Tenna's animations in Deltarune are stock.
>>533461348>m-my immersion dude! you can't just like have hecking c-cards! no I don't care that you access the user interface with buttons and tabs even though the game is set in a fantasy world!>the game needs to have diegetic interface and cards are just not diegetic in my hecking action game!

>>533462141You're trying way too hard.
guyse i need some help here
https://pastebin.com/CpCA6xqK
i was intending for the transition between seeds 0-1 1-2 etc to be smooth

>>533462369>canโt refute why cards arenโt viable now that heโs been exposed
>>533462407>smooth transition between noiseGenerate the noise as two keyframes and just interpolate over time. Interpolation factor is time elapsed divided by the total time of the transition.
>>533462832sorry but coding is harder than talking, if you open the pastebin you can see that i literally implemented what you just said... like are you alright???

>>533463636Whatโs your game idea
>>533463049>like are you alright???nta but I am not going to help you now because of this. Previously I wasn't going to help you because I didn't want to but now it's personal.
>>533463814I was thinking Morrowind but with a PSX art style, horror elements, and roguelike mechanics.

>>533459672eh, needs some work
>>533463814I going to tap into the childlike nostalgia evoked by the aesthetic of retro pixelart, the thrill of platforming, and the challenge of puzzles. And to tie it all together a story which serves as an allegory for depression.
This is what I like to call an original game idea. You losers have no idea how stinking rich I'm about to be.
>>533463960Oh damn I was close

When you say the transition isn't "smooth" I think I might know what you are talking about. The aesthetic doesn't "look right"
You can change the behavior of interpolation by mapping time through a function f that satisfies f(0) = 0 and f(1) = 1.
A common choice for a good look is the cubic hermite polynomial. Perlin noise algorithms will do this kind of thing so the terrain doesn't look like ass.
>>533463464You just haven't gotten it hard enough ...
>>533462407that kinda reminds me of the laptop screen from jagged alliance 2
>>533465713>You can change the behavior of interpolation by mapping time through a function f that satisfies f(0) = 0 and f(1) = 1.And by time I mean normalized time, the interpolation factor.

I'm still working on the game, but it's going slow, since I've only got like 2 hours per day. :(
>>533478294what does the article say
>>533456034you need it so it works on any machine at all.
over the last two days I've been experimenting with the Wonderland Engine. it's a web game engine and similar but simpler than Unity. ergonomics are pretty good! for example play mode = it compiles the whole game and opens it in a new tab in your default browser in less than a second. and there's a button to simulate physics so you don't have to switch to the browser if you merely want to confirm that physics objects land/collide as you expect. I haven't coded much in it (Javascript) but even just looking up the documentation and thinking about how I would create a minimalist version of my main project in this toy engine had my mind racing with cool ideas. one of those ideas ended up in my main project a couple hours ago so I'm still making real progress on this little detour.
my take-away so far: it can be really productive to imagine you have to start your current project over from scratch and make a simplified toy version of it. what would be different, what would stay the same? how would you solve problems you already solved (but maybe you're not 100% happy with the solution you came up with)?
I don't know if I will actually make the simplified version of my main project in Wonderland Engine for laughs. but I want to at least get a decent FPS character controller going, with shooting and a moving and shooting enemy, maybe 1-2 more important mechanics. then upload a build to itch.

In your clip there are four intermission frames.
Take them out and you have the transition clean, just as intended.
Those frames appear at the end of each transition, see picrel.

If I wanted to make a procedural game using voxels do you think I should just make it from the ground up or use an engine?
>>533487762How much experience do you have with making a game
>>533454034 (OP)This caused a bit of a spat so I'd like some yesdevs' input on the matter.
If you're making a VN, is the character design of the setting worth ironing out before the actual story (you have the synopsis already, I mean getting into the actual script), or do you just write the story with placeholder descriptions first?
I was in the camp that you need to establish designs first because it helps to write characters if you already know how they will look/how the general population of the story will appear thematically, especially for things like body language. The opposing view was that you should design the characters last, (or after writing is complete, before art begins)

substance designer's pretty cool
I feel like I have a tendency to overcomplicate things. My polygons were working fine but now I have to support polygons that have childs and the childs can have childs and so on... I guess I'll figure it out and the end result should be cool but not sure if it's worth the effort.
>>533489302Oh and a polygon is either a filled one or a hole in a polygon depending on what depth it is in the tree of childs... Or this is how I imagine it being, haven't figured it all out just yet...
>>533488145There's a huge volume of domain specific knowledge relevant to gamedev that you don't yet have. You should go follow some beginner tutorials to start. After that, check out open source voxel projects. Here's what you need for Godot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOhfqjmasi0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke5KpqcoiIU
https://github.com/Zylann/godot_voxel
Unreal also has a good source-available voxel engine: https://voxelplugin.com/, but I'm not sure what are the best beginner tutorials.
>>533489809Isn't voxel shit very intense, so using godot would be a bad choice? Subtle crabbing.
>>533490081You can literally download and try the open source Minecraft clone in less than a few minutes and see for yourself. Godot itself isn't any less efficient than Unity/UE. It just gets flooded with more retards with more skill issues, since any browniod with a $50 craptop like cris can run it, unlike Unity/UE.
I really fucked up when I chose unity over unreal.

>>533493468At least you reached 13, preddy gud
>>533493724Yeah, but in the case of polygons, every other depth means all the childs are holes to the parent polygon. It's coming together, but I haven't yet incorporated the hole cutting part in the code. I just have to force winding to alternate at every depth and then edit triangulation so that it triangulates every other polygon but takes the childs, which are holes, into the equation.

>>533515251Why not just make it all in 3d but with a fixed isometric camera angle so it looks 2d? This is what Enter the Gungeon does, seems simpler than what you're doing.

Will they make it or not, /agdg/?
>>533513803doesn't survival already imply a sandbox?
I would play a multiplayer survival without base building, one that encourages nomad/hunter subsistence instead

also it's not like it would be a drop-in replacement, both rendering and game mechanics would be significantly different
>>533128932In my opinion, sincerity is best when it's natural and not done as a "response".
Part of why everything is ironic or cynical is because it's "aware".
So many good things came before the internet, which probably made people afraid of being themselves.
And humans as a species are versatile, so everyone has their own form of sincerity.
But that's why you gotta be careful with the "it's ok to be cringe" part: People take that too literally as the definition of sincere, so they think anything with badly drawn, colorfull furry or faux anime characters = sincere, even if you can tell the person behind it is being ironic.
It's like saying Kubrick and Lynch were never sincere because they didn't put MSPaint drawn cartoon characters that remind you of what you see on DeviantArt.
It's the same problem with the "SOVL" buzzword loosing meaning or maybe never having it in the first place, since people can't really explain why things feel a certain way, so they watch essay videos to "educate them".
Undertale's writing has roots in Homestuck but Toby can still present things with sincerity, even if you get past him following Dril on Bluesky or the flower shit that made it seem like he can't trust his fans to handle symbolism or some subjects.

>>533515708EtG is 3d logic with billboard sprites.
>>533516282That's a very good point. I also don't like how survival implies base building, sandbox kinda makes it sound like you can base build but it's not intended so I figured those two words could spiritually cancel one another out.
>>533516282>doesn't survival already imply a sandbox?Not really, there are plenty of survival games that have a victory condition.
>>533516015No because they don't understand the genre. These games reward micromanagement and multitasking, but the design of their game actively hinders it.

>>533517205I guess I have a different idea of what sandbox is
I would describe subnautica as a sandbox, even though it has a victory condition
because there's no level structure, the entire map is available for you from the get go, you're only limited by technology
>>533517382if "frosh" was using unity and trying to make a standard game, not an engine or a template, i'd agree
but "frosh" is doing engine dev
maybe "frosh" is or is not a bad programmer, but it's not quite clear
"frosh", a challenge for you: make an actual, production quality, fun, small game in unity. you can use a template or llm if you want. just make it fun and slightly polished
>>533517630I think most people would consider Subnautica a sandbox too if the only requirement is an open world map.
So like a GTA sandbox instead of a Project Zomboid sandbox.
I was thinking more about something like the Don't Starve story mode compared to a regular playthrough which is completely aimless and the only objective is to survive.
pedodevs still mad, it's great to see.
>>533517992A 'sandbox' allows you to do what you want but in subnautica you are map-gated by personal and vehicle upgrades.
But then you were also map gated in older gta's until you cleared plot points..

>want to include a skill animation that covers the entire screen where the player character kicks the enemy into the sky and then jumps up after them and beats them up in the sky and then kicks them down like Sasuke Uchiha's Lions Barrage in Naruto
>Im in rpgmaker so i cant actually have the character kick the sprite up or something like that i have to have like a gray man thats like a representation of the enemy get beat up or something
>But what if hes fighting a monster not a humanoid enemy? that wouldnt make sense that hes beating up a human on the animation so i have to make it check what enemy hes attacking and change the animation based on that
>But like every monster looks diffrent they arent uniform like humans so i would have to remake the same animation with diffrent enemies like 100 times for each enemy
ugh game development is so tedious

>>533515214>So... how are you doing collision detection?This is not a permanent solution, but what I'm using for playtesting is putting a convex mesh collider on the other object. It works well enough, but I have seen other devs do this with just a regular rigidbody as well, so that will probably be a better solution when it comes to developing the movement system and pathfinding.

>>533529843>why did you replace the box collider on a box with a mesh collider? lmaoAs far as I'm aware you can't set the boxcollider as convex through the inspector. There may be some way to do this in code, but for playtesting collisions it was just faster to add a meshcollider to the box. If you read
>>533529365 (You) again I am looking into how to do collisions with the procedural mesh through the rigidbody.
I swear I get better performance with fucking three.js and webGPU for more impressive shit graphics than what I get playing most Unity games. Fucking Phasmophobia and Peak make my GPU sound like a turbine and it's a 2080 TI. I'm going through the new pretty impressive examples from the new Three.js release and not a peep out of my GPU at 60 FPS. Babylon.js's physic engine (A wasm rewrite of Havok) literally outperforms Unity's out of box physics and is free to use.
What gives? Is Unity just insanely unoptimized?
>>533530886"pretty impressive examples" are obviously heavily optimized, itโs their main focus you could say
unity devs just poop out something as fast as they can
>>533530886>What gives? Is Unity just insanely unoptimized?It is very easy to cheat with Unity. You can literally just download a bunch of packages of the storefront and it 'just werks'. A lot of games on the Steam storefront made in unity are just glorified asset-flips.
>>533530723a box collider is inherently convex. where did you get this idea that it needs to be marked as convex? there shouldn't be a problem when dropping a rigidbody box collider onto any kind of mesh collider (the terrain). what am I missing here? did Unity 6 break basic collisions?
>>533530886>Fucking Phasmophobia and Peak make my GPU sound like a turbine and it's a 2080 TI.is it possible that these games are running uncapped? you can make any GPU take flight in any game if you uncap the framerate (or raise the cap to like 1500+ fps).
be like this guy. when life (represented by the orange box) gets you down, just have a seizure until you get back up.
Do you have a character use the title of your game dramatically?
>>533531962no idea about those games but plenty of unity games run like ass even when capped
to be fair, it's a dev issue more than an engine issue, a lot of retard devs just graphically crank everything up to max and forget about it
>>533531640>what am I missing here? did Unity 6 break basic collisions?I'm not entirely sure myself. I tried it with just a regular rigidbody boxcollider as usual, but the object just fell through. I read some posts on gamedev.stackexchange that this was a common occurence and they adviced to add a meshfilter and make that convex instead.
I do have to add that it could just be my own inexperience causing this. I could very well have messed up something in the procedural mesh.
No idea why any competent programmer wouldnโt just use C++ with SDL/OpenGL for a 2d game. For 2D itโs so easy and with SDL you basically support every platform including consoles if you write a Vulkan renderer.

>>533531196>>533532408>>533531212Okay so clearly the Unity devs just suck? I dunno I think it's a combo of both. I don't think there's any way a dev could fuck something low graphic like this up. Phasmo and Peak sound like a turbine even on the fucking loading screen.
Actually I remember the Palworld devs were originally working in Unity and realized Unity wasn't performant enough and switched to Unreal. I think maybe it just is a Unity issue. There should be no world where Javascript engines with wasm physics should outperform something made with C++ and C#. Though webGPU itself is written in C++ so actually maybe.

>>533533469Remember how yanderedev used a toothbrush with a 5k+ poly count? I imagine that it's a similar scenario.
>>533533725Things like this is why I want to get into vidya math. That's cool as fuck!
>>533533469Depending on the browser, JS and WebGPU can be very performant, there is not necessarily a difference on that level. The main burden is on the GPU in any case and that is (largely) independent of the "frontend" (CPU-side) technology used.
>the Unity devs just suckItโs not 100% about sucking, itโs about JLMG. How many players do they lose with shit optimization, versus time to market, versus man hours spent on development.
If they were more competent, they would make more performant games in less time, but it also takes time to acquire competence. I know nothing about the Peak dudes, but it seems they didnโt exactly plan their success? They just kinda made a game to see where it goes?
>>533533725>30 systems Jesus, I net it took a good chunk of your sanity. How many enemies on screen before it starts lagging?
>>533533851this looks subdivided. 20 vertical edges over 20 sideways over at least 80 lengthwise. 50k faces before the hairs.
5k toothbrush is bad enough without lying about the mesh.
>>533534543>How many enemies on screen before it starts lagging?haven't really done extensive stress testing yet but like 15 or 20 and there's some noticeable frame dips but not terrible. i'll clean it up later.....
>>533534027i actually suck at math and use a lot of duct tape silly workarounds to avoid using it lol. i wish i was better at math but it is what it is.

>>533534814>i actually suck at math and use a lot of duct tape silly workarounds to avoid using it lol.Honestly this gives me hope that I maybe also can make game in the forseeable future. Thanks fren.
>>533533671That's why I mentioned Palworld. They switched from Unity to Unreal for performance gains. Clearly it's not just a dev issue.
>>533533851I thought about that as well kek.
>>533534113>Depending on the browser, JS and WebGPU can be very performant, there is not necessarily a difference on that level. The main burden is on the GPU in any case and that is (largely) independent of the "frontend" (CPU-side) technology used.So do you think now that you can use webGPU for graphics, and highly performant WASM physics engines, Javascript based engines and games have using these technologies have the potential for high performance games now? Obviously the ecosystem is pretty dogshit still. I remember in /gedg/ a year or so ago there were guys talking about using the non-browser webGPU for game engines and how good it is.
>>533534997If I remeber correctly that asset was made for comercial purposes and was never meant for real-time rendering. Yanderedev just downloaded it without inspecting and thought 'you look fine get in'.

>>533535087>They switched from Unity to Unreal for performance gainsyour recollection of what some palworld dev claimed isn't exactly a great argument, also UE5 is heavily focused towards massive open worlds as that is the current fad for AA/AAA games, most indie games aren't massive open worlds and therefore would not benefit from such features

The consequences of godots scene tree has been a disaster for the human race.

>>533521592>use framework>two colliding cubes are 800 lines of code
>>533535087>have the potential for high performance games now?The problem with browser is that itโs got some inherent suck in terms of input lag and so on. It will never feel as comfy as a native game.
But if you just look at isolated GPU-heavy examples, browser should be very much on par now with WebGPU. WebGL has a lot of shortcomings (no compute shaders to name an obvious one), WebGPU is pretty much a Vulkan-level API.
For the CPU side, it depends on the algorithms you run, a lot of game code can actually benefit from a JITted language like JS, only you will have the occasional lag spike from GC/JIT. On wasm32, any code that maps simply 32-bit wasm32 -> x64 instructions will have increasingly low overhead in the browser. But if you brew some super-optimized AVX-512 stuff, etc., it will be much slower on wasm32, for the time being, until more powerful wasm architectures are rolled out.

Of course if you want it to sync up then you have to manually move it with code. Godot's philosophy of how it should function is fundamentally broken and this should have been apparent 20 years ago when juan was working on the bones of the engine.

>>533536381It would appear I was talking out of my ass and donโt have a very large clue about the state of wasm. I did a quick research and they even have SIMD.
One thing that is certainly missing, though, is a threading model. You can do web-workers, but that can be miles behind a custom multi-threading solution specialized on a specific algorithm.
>>533536997I heard Unity was single threaded too like 8 years ago
>>533535082i am literally retarded, its totally possible to make a fun complex game as a retard. the challenge is just making sure your piles of spaghetti garbage duct tape hold together as you near important release dates. if you have the same brain problems as me just make sure anything you make is organized and modular enough so it can be swapped out and replaced easily. dont have your whole game depending on some giant pile of bullshit spaghetti ball code or visual scripting like i did, i learned that the hard way....
if your code actually sucks like mine just compartmentalize it better so it can be cleaned up as you go.

Like I know it's very difficult and sounds absurd for someone to just tell you to ditch all the work you've been doing but seriously, I feel like seeing you type "set-scale" so slowly just to change the scale of the cube, wouldn't it just be better to click on a stick in the GUI and change the scale like that? I feel like your engine would work better if you just ditch this setup of trying to get interactive programming in. Or you can have both, but the way you're using the interactivity right now would just work better as a GUI.

it must be possible. I would use a box collider rigidbody for the dynamic thing because it MUST work. then I would play with the settings on the terrain mesh collider and look at the physics settings until something clicks.

>>533552385why? notice how I provided a reasoning and you didn't? I say fixed framerate is perfectly fine on consoles because all TVs support standard refresh rates (30, 60, more recently 120 Hz). if your game has a 30 fps quality and 60 fps performance mode, or it's 60 fps by default and has a 120 fps performance mode this will work for ALL of your users. there is no problem with it.

>>533555537of course it's doable - on console. you need to know the target hardware so you can guarantee stable performance. also the slow downs you get when performance does buckle are actually a good behavior, much better than skipping a bunch of the action on screen like modern engines often do. I always set the maximum time per frame very low in my Unity projects because slowdown feels way better than skipping.
old school racing and fighting games that maintain a perfect framerate are still the gold standard as far as console games go. devs have just gotten sloppy and rely on shit like dynamic resolution to pretend their games are optimized.

I just created a data structure.
It's called the 'Linked SPSC Stagger Queue'

>>533553875>why?Because your frame rate has nothing to do with the monitors refresh rate or the internal physics rate. If you don't multiply everything by delta_time then your game will run at a different speed on every single machine.
If you run your code in regular process or tick then it's tied to FPS, if you run it in physics_process / whatever unity's equivalent is then it's tied to physics FPS which IS NOT STABLE. If your code is heavy then it will actually drag down the physics tick rate and stutter the game because the physics step will not complete until all code tied to it is executed.
This is a major trap that every single godont tranny tutorial teaches as the right way to do things, just shove code in physics_process() and it's guaranteed to run at 60 fps!!!(NOT) It doesn't matter which tick rate you use, your code will drag it down if it's bad enough because the tick step cannot complete until your code is finished, multiply by delta_time and it doesn't matter if the FPS, physics FPS or fixed update drops to the single digits, your game will still run properly.
>>533560578I have no idea what any of this shit means. Maybe making a video game is too complicated for me.
Implementing the 'Stagger Queue' Data Structure into my utils folder for my engine. Very excited to get lock-free inter-thread communication.

>>533560561Looks nice
>>533560704Your game runs in a loop, a strong computer can make it loop really fast, a slow computer makes it run slow. if your code says move the character 1 meter per loop then on a potato PC your guy will move say 10 meters per second, on a really good PC your guy will move 100 meters per second.
This is bad, your guy should move the same speed regardless of how good the PC is. So your code should say move the character 1 meter x the amount of time passed since the last loop. Then if you get 10 loops per second or 100 loops per second it won't make a difference, the guy will move the same speed for all players.

>let me tell you a couplea three thingskilled me
hope you succeed.
>>533562859So how is it done? Iยดm the anon that posted the question about delta time yesterday. I found a bunch of tutorials, each doing things differently and every time my game just gets fucked up, or moving way too fast or being weird in a stop-motion way. How is this thing supposed to be actually used?
>>533562386You have to be really careful about only appending delta to the last step of a time dependent calculation, otherwise you can get time squared or time^3 and weird as fuck results.
>>533560578>Because your frame rate has nothing to do with the monitors refresh ratewrong. refresh rate is the most important consideration when choosing a target framerate.
>If you don't multiply everything by delta_time then your game will run at a different speed on every single machine.if you managed to lock the framerate you wouldn't need deltaTime. deltaTime is the amount of time the last frame took to complete. if every frame takes the same time to complete you don't need to multiply anything. this is how the physics tick rate works and why you don't need to dynamically scale your physics forces (hope you're not wasting performance doing this).
>if you run it in physics_process / whatever unity's equivalent is then it's tied to physics FPS which IS NOT STABLEplease don't call it "physics FPS". frames = visual.
>If your code is heavy then it will actually drag down the physics tick rate and stutter the gameif your code is too heavy to run in real-time no approach works, full stop. this doesn't weigh as a pro or con of any particular approach.
typically tickrate is lower than framerate so it actually saves performance to put non-visual things like AI code into the tick rather than the frame. another reason to do this with AI code in particular is to achieve determinism. and keep in mind that just because you put some code into FixedUpdate doesn't mean it has to run every tick. for example my tickrate is usually 100 Hz but I use modulo on the bots' ID to update only a quarter of them per tick -> each bot is thinking at 25 Hz.
1/2
>>5335605782/2
>multiply by delta_time and it doesn't matter if the FPS, physics FPS or fixed update drops to the single digits, your game will still run properly.multiplying by deltaTime ensures that per frame animations are smooth. that's it, it does not belong anywhere else.
also by default a modern engine will continue to simulate motion in approximately real-time even when it fails to render a frame for way too long. that's not "running properly", at least for singleplayer game where we have the luxury of bending time. IF this worst case scenario occurs it's actually better in a "locked" game because time will automatically slow down, keeping things somewhat playable. thankfully Unity supports this behavior even in a deltaTime context. I already mentioned it but here's a link to the real variable:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-maximumDeltaTime.html
definitely use this in singleplayer games to avoid your game outright skipping the action. slowdown > skipping
>>533560704I also had no idea about any of this shit until I started making video games a decade ago. you can't expect to be good at something you haven't practiced.
i should make a module for godot to incorporate AI asset creation. not to help, just to upset the community.
>level editor dev progress

Wondering how I can do this. I could iterate over every point and if it forms a quad that has a kink in it, i.e. the normals of the triangles in it are not the same, then... do something to flatten that quad? I'm not sure how I'd correctly identify which point to move in what direction... Maybe only allow points to move along an already established edge?
Maybe this is why most games just plop some stuff on top of some terrain and call it a day

>>533569191im not reading 200 words essays anymore, im just saying that non competitive multiplayer games having frame inconsistencies is not a big deal since thats every fucking game ever unless you have control over the hardware, stop being autismo perfectionists this is something the lead fortnite dev has to think about not agdg

https://youtu.be/1OzmWcorOzw?t=18
what happened to shame?
>>533569685Someone who finally gets it.
>>533545306honestly none of the bullshit around resources in godot creates runtime or design problems, only ever development problems.
I am fine with it, and I think I am building an instinct for
>code modifies resource -> potential delay bugswhich by the way is not just one frame late always, sometimes its hundreds of milliseconds.
trying to create a new data structure here.
>>533569723you are a total fucking cretin
>>533550837So I am going to have to disagree with you here. Saying godot gives you rope to hang yourself with, well you can do stupid shit in any game engine and any game engine has pit falls. I used unity before and decided to not make games with it because it feels clunky, old, and is just not right for me.
My first 2 games were in game maker 2 which felt super restrictive and going from 1.4 to 2.0 was like porting your game to a new engine itself. Then 2.0 did things like take the native steam integration functions and make it into an extension for no fucking reason which broke steam support for games made in game maker 2 which the automatic updates would just break your shit. And now when using game maker 2 the stupid steam extension randomly forget the file paths to build sometimes so your build just fails.
You know what I have had to deal with, with godot? Learning the right and wrong ways to do things with the engine. And if there is something it cannot do, you can just make your own extensions for godot. If you want to stay on a old version to avoid breaking things you can do that if you want as well and update when there is something more stable. Godot is great because you can do so much with it. It reminds me of C++ yes you can shoot yourself in the foot with it, but it also lets you do things you couldn't do as easily with other game engines. I love it, my first 3d game I actually released has been done in it. I even was able to make an extension to import voxel models and key frame animate them. Godot rocks if used right.
just imagined her with a scarf in a 90s Mall during Christmas time and my heart just broke.
>>533570079Globohomo dialed things up to 11 and now there is only the grift, shame comes second to survival.
Also does anyone else have issues with godot 4.4 or really any version after 4.2 being unstable as fuck, crashing for no reason or causing blue screens?
>>533570363who does blood think he is?
AGI?
probably ain't even read Knuth
>>533570652yes 4.3 and up have some bizarre threading issues
>>533570520Fuck yeah. We love Godot here. People don't know what's bad because they haven't even used bad. They have only known good. Bunch of pretentious ass game devs here. Probably haven't even made their own game from scratch. Nothing as simple as pong.
>>533557164meanwhile I am over in the corner being happy my game got 3 reviews because they are all positive. more if you count curators. I suck at marketing so not many people will ever play my games, but it makes me so happy knowing people like them.
Why did I want to make a game like super mario 64 with rats and voxels, idk, but I am pretty happy with it so far, hoping I get out of early access this year.

Delta is not even a perfect solution, a linux build and a windows build on different cpus wont have the same delta even with equal specs, it's a self contained solution for the update loop you should always assume that the clients will drop frames and have a single authority to sync from.
