thanks for starting a new thread

Honestly, how much does a pixel art game needs to use delta time? I´m struggling to implement this thing. I was hoping to use it for some cool slowdown effects too but it´s a waste of time if I just can´t 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

>>533454613
You use delta time for everything that processes things in real time.

>>533454335
I love these games, they're so underrated. Death of the Reprobate was worth every penny.

>>533454661
that'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?

When modelling a ship is it better to do each part separately, then figure out how to connect the mesh..? or extrude always?

I know. The question is, do I NEED to use in my game so it works with potato machines? I wanted to add it as it´s obviously a good thing to have, but I don´t want to waste days stuck trying to do this

I'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?

Have you been living under a rock? This style has been played out for half a decade.

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.

>Not a 'settle down and grow old' attitude. A burn the boats attitude

Don'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.

Gamedev is a

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.

Don'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.

>>533457563
Do 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 Shakti
GOOD MORNING SIR.

>>533458064

Thinking of adding a map screen to my game, I might leave it for later but it could come in handy.

>>533456538
>>533456795
I 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

>>533458173
How 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.

>>533456565
I 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.

>>533458292
Because it's not about
>I want to make this game and I'm going to figure out how I can make it
It's now about
>What can I make from this list of assets

I 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 desu
What 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).

>Deckbuilder but it's an action game instead of a boring turn-based game
Holy 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

>>533459710

https://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!

>>533459535
There 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 aren’t polluting the world with garbage.

why 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

>>533461226
this is such a nodev thing to say

>>533461203
I 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.

>>533461371
No. Only someone who has actually released a failed game can properly understand the pointlessness of releasing for the sake of releasing.

>>533459710
I love this anon

>>533461348
Not 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.

>>533460813
Normies can tell default UE look from Unity and default UE5 locomotion animations(for example used in only up!)
>>533461226
You grew in self criticism and skills and you have something to write in the resume. It was worth something.

>>533460813
Yeah 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!

I'm not going to look at the data for a week and I'll see how it turns out.

>>533462369
>can’t refute why cards aren’t viable now that he’s been exposed

>>533462407

Generate the noise as two keyframes and just interpolate over time. Interpolation factor is time elapsed divided by the total time of the transition.

>>533463814
I 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.

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.

>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.

>>533478294
what does the article say

>>533456034
you 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.

Those frames appear at the end of each transition, see picrel.

The problem is in the cycle that is not well synchronized, I tried to find it in the code but I don't use godot.

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?

>>533487762
How 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)

>>533487825
Game? Zero. Programming I have plenty.

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.

>>533489302
Oh 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...

>>533488145
There'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.

>>533489809
Isn't voxel shit very intense, so using godot would be a bad choice? Subtle crabbing.

>>533490081
You 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.

>>533493468
At least you reached 13, preddy gud

>>533493724
Yeah, 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.

>>533493793
Okay let's play for a moment. The hypothetical situation where a game has 14 million wishlists. What you do is you release the game for a cheap price like $3 so no matter how bad it is people won't mass refund it. You still sell millions of copies and become a millionaire.

>>533503815

>>533506523
Looks like about 500 online right now. Which is ridiculously high. So many nodevs lurking in shame in there.

>>533513429

I've got all roofs on one layer but I could make them separate so only the room you go into gets the roof hidden, but I eventually want it so you can go up and down levels inside rooms so I thought global would be better

Since someone brought it up yesterday.

>>533515251
Why 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.

Ascent of Ashes is currently on life support, they barely have any money to survive.

Will they make it or not, /agdg/?

>>533513803
doesn't survival already imply a sandbox?
I would play a multiplayer survival without base building, one that encourages nomad/hunter subsistence instead

>>533515671
How about an isometric sprite.

>>533515708

also it's not like it would be a drop-in replacement, both rendering and game mechanics would be significantly different

>>533128932
In 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.
>>533129154

>>533515708
EtG is 3d logic with billboard sprites.

>>533516282
That'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.

>>533516015
No because they don't understand the genre. These games reward micromanagement and multitasking, but the design of their game actively hinders it.
All the reviews mention how annoying it is to micromanage for a reason.

>>533515671
Honestly doesn't look bad. What post process did you use to limit the palette?

>>533508226
it took a while to get right but it's pretty simple, just different collision layers for each level and area2ds to change masks of the bullet when you enter/exit
the sprite layering and y-sorting was the hardest to get right

>>533517205
I 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

>>533517382
if "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

>>533517630
I 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.

>>533517992
A '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..

>>533515708

What's your backup jobby if/when this jobby collapses? I'm thinking about doing some youtube animations since it's good practice for gamedev too.

>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

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.

Thank you. One of the inspirations for why I started to head in this direction was from Sebastian Lague's procedural island series.

>>533529843
>why did you replace the box collider on a box with a mesh collider? lmao
As 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, it’s 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.

>>533530723
a 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?

>>533531962
no 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

>>533532282
giwtwm

>>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 wouldn’t just use C++ with SDL/OpenGL for a 2d game. For 2D it’s so easy and with SDL you basically support every platform including consoles if you write a Vulkan renderer.

The control and coding ergonomics tailored to your game is comfy, fuck Unity or Godot if it’s a 2d game

Okay 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.

>>533533469
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.
>the Unity devs just suck
It’s not 100% about sucking, it’s 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 didn’t exactly plan their success? They just kinda made a game to see where it goes?

>>533533725

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.

>>533534997
If 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'.

your 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

Cosmic construct

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

Just a reminder that children get processed before parents, so they update their position before the parent script gets a chance to move so they've updated to a stale position and then the parent moves and puts them out of sync.

The problem with browser is that it’s 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.

It's a child, you don't have to put it in code anywhere, it automatically follows the parents transform.

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.

It would appear I was talking out of my ass and don’t 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.

>>533536997
I heard Unity was single threaded too like 8 years ago

i 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.

I have a suggestion for you. Ditch this setup right now and just write a GUI for your engine. 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.

I have personally created a procedural mesh in Unity and dropped a bunch of box colliders on it. pic related. my mesh collider is not convex and it uses all the optimization options. this was in Unity 2019.2. also I normally made it static but for this screenshot just now I made it non-static to make sure none of the static flags affect physics.

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.

The truth is that they don't want godot to become viable for serious dev because then it would expose so many fucking issues with the engine that can never be fixed. They literally included an automatic multiplayer networking feature that outright says it should only be used on your local machine and then they go out and say godot has networking built in. It's literally the pirate software situation, their userbase is too retarded to understand how incompetent they are, but as long as it looks like godot has x feature they'll go and use it as a weapon to attack people who criticize the engine.

you either need deltatime or a fixed framerate

>>533550837
but also people have made games with it so you know go with whatever tool helps you over the shipping line

the concept here is that you have a limited inventory size, but the first thing you picked up is put down if you pick up something new

Should I use anime style for the character s faces or a mix style like 2b ?

>>533551690
I feel like borderlands did this kind of thing intuitively, if your inventory is full, hold the "take" button to swap to that item, otherwise go into the inventory and drop something (which drops it onto the physical ground)

Cute polygon guy, bro.

>>533551013
a fixed framerate is unacceptable on PC. on PC people are using monitors with different refresh rates. it's okay to force a framerate (specifically 30 or 60 fps) on a console. not on PC.

>>533551690
make it drop randomly aside, I would add a jitter movement to

>>533552112
>hold
that is an interesting idea, a way to sort of confirm that you really want to swap something

>>533552135
It's never okay to use a fixed framerate or rely on fixed ticks.

>>533551690
make it the last item they picked up so they can just swap it out and decide not to take it if their inventory is full

I don't wan the player to be able to glitch it out of bounds, but the wobble is a good idea

r8 the new light armor set I added to Devil Spire Falls

(actually the entire Magician set, with the Work Apron torso piece)

You gotta make the collider a tiny bit bigger so it doesn't clip into the ground. Wobble looks nice.

>>533551690
This game is one of my most looked forward to games. Hope it makes it to next DD.

you can choose whatever material you want that in from 10!

but I forgor to add the new set to the crafting recipe list, fuck

>>533552385
why? 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.

also
>don't rely on fixed ticks
every good physics engine does this. if you don't do this you end up with the bugs in old Quake games where you move faster or jump higher at different framerates.

Oh cool. Looks good then.

Remember to have a sequence where the mech powers up. I like it when mech games do that.
