the best part of games are the event based choices. Crusader Kings 2 was the best for this. the game is literally just a bunch of events to resolve.

>>534888012
I like event based choices, but what's the end goal? There has to be one otherwise the choices are worthless.

No you FUCK look at it from 4 months ago; dont you see how much DARKER it was and how the normals were too detailed? YOU SHOULD BE LOVING THE BRIGHTER LIGHTING AND SMOOTHER TEXTURES REEEE

>>534888903
RP is not fun if your choices have no affect on anything.

>>534887965
you sound like someone who says "jesus is king" a lot

That's a whole lot of words that don't mean anything

>>534889625
Yeah normals are a weird one, not for all games. It objectively looks better without

I unironically want to be paid in experience.

>>534889625
it looked better in this screenshot
don't mind me though you have a game to finish, but i'm just saying... maybe you might wanna go back to this look since it was better, more memorable, more soulful you know what I mean?
you know you want to.
but naah don't mind what I'm saying you should just keep going the way you are right now, that's the direction to release.

SOVL
>>534888993
soulless

Look at him go :D
It's just restoring old functionality to work after refactoring the Classes relating to units themselves, but I'm basically refactoring everything I touch as I slowly link all the old stuff to work with the new stuff and I've made the codebase so much easier to work with as a result. A lot of this code is really stinky because I wrote it when I was in college, the original code for animating units to move like this was written before I knew what a coroutine was so I was doing some really stupid stuff in the update loop. I remember constantly finding bugs from it when playtesting and it was always a nightmare to debug.
Also, there used to be some weird choppiness with the unit movement because they would "snap" to the center of a tile when they got close and the camera would get kinda jittery as it followed the Unit's movement but I fixed all of that.

>>534891032
shut up you're not supposed to actually make him doubt himself

>>534891032
NOOO YOU FUCKS SAID 4 MONTHS AGO THE DARKER LIGHTING AND BUMP MAPS WERE SOULLESS AND NOW ITS SOVL?? I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY DO YOU FLIP FLOP EVERYTIME I CHANGE THE ARTSTYLE I ALREADY WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE GAME AND MADE IT ALL BRIGHTER AND MORE VIBRANT WEEKS AGO

>>534891278
To be honest it does look better now, alot better.

finally I can sleep in peace

Nooooooo why was Eric at Google nepobaby confirmed I can no longer support him it's so over!!!1! :(

I've been looking at start menus for a couple hours and they're all unsurprisingly similar over the years.

Background image or video, sometimes replay of the game in the background.

Buttons:
>START
>LOAD/CONTINUE
>OPTIONS
>EXTRA/CREDITS/ETC

Copyright or version number somewhere in a corner.

There has to be a way to break the mold.

>>534891935
jk you could never ever make me hate this man

>>534892030
There are games that skip the title screen altogether, but don't fix what ain't broke.

>>534892030
make the menu interactive, takes you into a controller that you can move around to select the whatever. bonus points make it so that there's no gui controls, for example instead of a button that says "start" make a door with a sign on it that says "begin game" then you walk through the door and it starts.

>>534888993
whats with the ugly ass dithering

How do you like your RPGs?
Turn-based (with the overworld and battlefield in separate "scenes") or Real-time (where everything happens at once, aka an Action RPG)?
Narrative (story-focused) or Sandbox (player choice-focused w/ dynamic game world)?
Open World or Linear? Or Semi-Linear (small MH-style "zones")?
Any roguelike/roguelite elements?

>>534892030
There's no problem with it so you're liable to just piss people off. Exception for if your game has weird meta-elements

>bro wants to reinvent the title screen

>>534892572
How do you like (You)r RPGs? That, is the RPG game dev question that must be asked when making an RPG game.

>>534892572
How do YOU like them? Make only something that you actually want.
But to answer I like everything but I played DQ style the most, so turn-based and open world.

>>534892030
I’ve been looking at restaurant menus for a while, and they’re all unsurprisingly similar across the years.

Usually you get:

The restaurant’s logo or a fancy background image, sometimes photos of the food.

Sections broken down by course or category:
>APPETIZERS
>MAIN COURSES
>DESSERTS
>DRINKS/BEVERAGES

Specials or chef’s recommendations highlighted somewhere.

Prices next to each item.

There has to be a way to break the mold.

>>534892572
I like all of them.

>>534892980
I think instead of having a menu they just start serving you their food. That would be great, wouldn't it?

>>534893753
I have replayed through Skyrim's story close to 10 times.

Tunic made me realize how much I miss instruction manuals
I'm going to make my game have a custom instruction manual, whether it's in-game or a bundled pdf, goddamn

>>534894832
That game was so fucking good. If you told me that I was going to translate some fake language from a scattered instruction manual and love it, I never would have believed ya

>The game opens with a painfully long and dull picture-by-picture slideshow that tries to set up the story, but I could not care less by the end of it. Controls are nothing out of the ordinary for this genre, yet somehow they still manage to feel off.
>The localization is all over the place. The so-called English version randomly switches between English, German, and what looks like Chinese. Even the loading screen tells you not to "tap" on the screen, which really makes you wonder if anyone bothered to check the translation at all.

It's not even a bad game idea. Just bad execution.

Don't make your dream game. You should focus on building a multimedia empire. Grow The Brand. Your Brand should become it's own egregore. Create a cult like following. Exploit The Algorithm. Bend others to your will. Destroy your competition utterly. Act like a king to become one. Indie Game Development in 2025 is entirely about POWER and securing the bag. You need to dominate the market.You need to follow the Money. You need to BE the money. You need to become GODLIKE.

Let me guess, you're gonna say
>Kill yourself
>Leave
>Talentless loser
Or something along the lines of one of those things, I just fucking know it.
Because I tried to do Pong in Unity 2D as per the requests of that one absolute asshat who keeps telling me to kill myself after offering useless advice, and I almost figured it out except for how the ball just keeps rocketing downwards at massive speeds despite me turning off gravity and everything.
I have quite literally tried everything, including scrapping the code multiple times, but the result is always the same.

>>534899432
This is the medium-effort bait I love to see. I'll gladly give up this (You)

how do i get good at character design

>>534899737
start by shooting bullets at your forehead

I use a lot of animated shaders and I'm also unfortunately an idiot. Right now I have:
>three 1440p images sequences
Should I make them into
>one 512p image sequence separated into different RGB channels
?

Will this make a difference in optimization or should I not bother? I'm not home at the moment so I can't just try it.

>>534899723
I'm not letting you shill your engine
>>534899737
Character design is a science, not an art. What makes sense given the context of
>Who this character is
>What environment they exist in and under what circumstances
Those are the big two of character design. Aesthetic appeal is also paramount, but it needs to be in line with those two big questions. Even if it's a very basic or "Childish" design. Look at Mario, he's a goofy little fella who exists in a goofy little world. His design isn't complicated but it fits given who he is and the context and tone he exists within.
I say this as someone who's been designing characters as a hobby since he was 4 and hasn't stopped doing so for almost 20 years now. It's something I can confidently say I'm actually rather good at.

Treating myself for starting work at 7am. I know that in theory I should be wanting to work on my game all the time but in practice this kind of bribe works for me.
Have a good day devving everybody

>>534900145
Mario is a successful/iconic design because he was competing with Pacman and the pong paddle.

>>534895782
>>534891278
Dude, you're literally focusing in useless stuff that nobody cares at this point.
You could took the minecraft way and release constant upgrades LISTENING the people that actually play your fucking game.
Instead, you took the yandere way and killed your own game because of your bad decisions and fragile ego.

>>534900320
That's a fair point, but it's a design that's held up to this very day because it's simplistic, adaptable, and is very expressive in the way that he needs to be given how bright and colorful the games are.

Good luck today, anon

Honestly, the "Chapter" release schedule seems like a good idea because it means I can get people invested into what's happening next, especially with a game where I actually wrote a story (And a pretty good one as well)
>>534900476
Honestly, I think that those things should be used in sparing moments to communicate visual flair.

Decided to start on my new project, I will start building the basic brick like the character logger and the dialogue database system I think.

Alright, I'm trying to round out my enemy roster a tad. So far I have
>Some basic zombie fodder (Kinda just appear in the first area, not really a threat and are more a tutorial for combat)
>Chicken-looking motherfuckers that do kick attacks on you and can evolve into a stronger state if they're damaged enough (Kinda the basic grunt enemy)
>A stationary enemy that sends out these roots and branches to attack you
>A big lumbering oni (Miniboss type I guess)
I feel like there's something I'm missing here.

>>534907978
What exactly are you doing?

>>534908165
Or to put into TLDR
>Fodder
>Fast
>Stationary/Ranged
>Tanky miniboss
I feel like there’s some enemy archetypes missing from this lineup. Flying? Idk

>>534908273
Creating the basis of a tactical RPG, the character_log contain the whole characters list so I can easily export it to the rest of the game.

>>534908613
I’d personally say it’s more important to set up controls and basic mechanics first before you start making characters to fit a mold

>>534908731
I just want to code that system I have in mind.
I will start the game after, but I need that idea out of my mind after

>>534908885
I don’t think that’s a good idea because you’re ignoring the fundamental framework that the system is going to fit into

>>534908165
Does it really have to be stationary? "Turrets" are kind of boring.
Anyway if you want something interesting, I've been playing Robocop recently and it includes bikers who are constantly moving around while shooting (They kind of do laps around combat arena, weaving between buildings).

>>534909273
It’s a tree. It’s gonna be stationary.
The real threat more comes when it’s in combination with other enemies, because you have to avoid its attack radius.
Think of it as a killable stage hazard

>>534909085
I just need to code that system anon, otherwise it will stay in my head.

>>534909602
Just write it down or something.
I assure you that trying to do that before setting up a basic framework that can execute it is going to be a problem.
Unless said system IS the base framework

>>534909865
>Just write it down or something.
That what I'm doing anon. I may just erase it before the end of the day, but I need to code it. It is like having a craving for food.

>>534910185
Don’t let me stop you then

>>534899432
Reminds me of this webm I had to dig the archives for, it was so funny to me for some reason. I hope that anon has moved on from this.

>>534910713
Well I figured out the problem anyways.
So fuck it, you got your Pong.

>>534904431
post it on the 'cord and screenshot it there

>>534903920
bla bla bla but I agree, never lose the child inside you, and its passion

>>534910881
Post it? Did you make an enemy AI? Any VFX/SFX/music? Options menu? Title screen?

>>534899432
Wow, Unity build takes forever

>>534911037
What the fuck are you talking about

in c++ can i
player.function(object.setFoo(), foo);
would this line go from left to right and run setFoo() before it uses foo for the function

>>534903279
yeah. did it come out before you were born?

>>534911168
What you’re gonna wanna do is put the definition of Foo before you run it. It’s cleaner that way

>>534911091
The point of newbies making pong is to make a complete game, not just a half-assed mechanic. Make the game like you're going to ship it on Steam, with settings and sound and icon and remapping controls and everything.

>>534911091
Sounds like you didn't finish making Pong. You made maybe 20% of it and gave up. That's how any other project you want to make is also going to play out.

>>534911168
I'm not gonna test it but I believe in C this should give you the value of foo before it's modified. So it modifies foo, but it still remembers the old foo since it has already passed it to the function. Not sure though might need to test it

>>534911089
I pick up my guitar and play around while i wait for playmode to start. I'm a guitar god now

>>534911349
The game plays like Pong, and that’s all that matters.
Title screens and shit like that is auxiliary stuff that should be saved for after the game actually functions.

>>534911168
>>534911352
Anyway this code works
int modifyFoo(int *foo) {
*foo = 5;
return 0;
}

void useFoo(int result, int foo) {
printf("%d\n", foo);
}

int main(void) {
int foo = 69;
useFoo(modifyFoo(&foo), foo);
printf("%d\n", foo);
// Expected output:
// 69
// 5
}

>>534911168
I can't tell if what you're doing with setFoo() and foo is retarded, but yeah, the standards defines the arguments to be evaluated from left to right

>>534911191
she cute

>>534911489
>Title screens and shit like that is auxiliary stuff
Tell that to >>534892030

>>534911489
Does it even play like Pong? Did you make an enemy AI? Scoreboard? Hiscore saving?

>>534911691
You’re literally telling me to skip making the fundamental parts of a game.
Me adding a title screen or sound effects does absolutely nothing to help with my current pursuits, which is to create a functional movement and combat system.
The rest is lower on the priorities list

In 3d space, is it worth it to model unique weapons (skins)? Does it make the animation process more difficult? Or is there a simple way to implement it?
I’m extremely dumb when it comes to this

>>534887758 (OP)
the man can into retro art, graphically it looks game
but the game storyline is fucking total trash

I wish he joined forces with someone with actual game ideas

>>534914551
If you duplicate a 3d model the animations get duplicated too, you can also copy and paste animations since they share the same rig
Dealing with a bunch of duplicate models can be messy and a waste of space so it depends on the use case

>>534913507
but this is exactly why simple games are good practice projects

keep adding shit and see what happens, watch that old GDC talk about transforming games with juice, it's fun to play with and transform the game

>>534914814
Ah I see, that makes sense. Maybe I’ll look into it…

It's weird playing system shock 2 25 years later. Back then it felt like the game looked like Prey did when I played Prey.

Hope you're happy

>>534900540
This looks good, where did you steal it from?

Finally solved the problem of dialogue writing, created a tool to write the dialogue like I want and then save in a text file format.

AI will make the gamedev job obstinate in two years.

You'll never convince me of this.

>>534918220
Blonde obviously, but her face is made for black hair.

>>534919436
I am using AI to make a game right now. AI is like having a very talented jr level developer who is slightly retarded and you have to tell him what to do constantly. AI cannot do shit without direction, it's not designed to.

>>534918220
>>534918835
this

>>534920252
it's just pretending to make us think we're always in control.

>>534919436
>obstinate
did you mean obsolete?

>>534920252
This sounds far more exhausting than just programming features myself.

>>534920364
Maybe he did mean obstinate and devs who aren't using AI will be left behind by being stubborn.
>>534920554
You can't write 5 scripts at once in 60 seconds. You cost more than $20 a month.
A vibe coder who doesn't understand code using AI will always be shit. A talented developer using AI will outperform a small development team who don't.

>>534920945
>You can't write 5 scripts at once in 60 seconds.
What if I told you these scripts have already been written and they're called 'libraries' and 'modules' and you can usually just use them for free, and they've been tested by humans who understand what they do, and if there's ever a security vulnerability they can get patched and you can apply that patch to your software. Seems like a better value proposition than just copy-pasting random shit into my codebase

>A vibe coder who doesn't understand code using AI will always be shit. A talented developer using AI will outperform a small development team who don't.
Ask your AI to refactor and simplify your codebase. It can't

AI cannot reduce the entropy of a system, all it can do is pile more shit on top of it. It can't do joined-up thinking, it can't consider architecture. Being able to generate technical debt faster isn't "outperforming" anyone unless you're some retarded corpo middle manager who thinks that programming performance is measured in lines of code committed.

>>534892980
lmao

>>534921938
It already imports libraries. I am not talking about libraries.
You can tell it exactly how you want to code something without writing all the code yourself, and it will just do it.

The year of the idea guy.

a stardew valley game but periodically, outsiders come to the town, commit crime, threaten the peaceful life, and destroy nature, and when you try to oppose them you get told to not be close minded

He generated that tweet. I hope you didn't waste time reading it.

>>534924404
stardew valley has oneshotted so many devs it's insane.

When it comes to your idea, do we learn where do those outsiders come from? Which country that is funded by the US has destabilized their government? Or which colonial power has fucked up their country.

>your euro daughter needs to be raped by a 70 iq inbred because the us is evil
this is what they genuinely believe by the way

I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write code on the walls with my own feces.
The operands are backwards. a is 10.0 and b is 0.0. a < b is 10.0 < 0.0, which is false.
I will fix this. I will fix this now. And I will not touch anything else. I will not refactor. I will not clean up warnings. I will fix this one bug. Then I will run the test. That is all. I am going to be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, a-I am not going insane. The Less opcode is correct. The operands are popped in the correct order. a is the left operand, b is the right operand. The comparison is a < b. The issue is that the code generator is emitting the operands in the wrong order. left is pushed, then right. So the stack is ... left, right. The VM pops right into b, and left into a. The comparison is a < b. This is correct.
The bug is not in the Less opcode. It is not in the VM. It is not in the code generator.
The bug is in my brain. I have been staring at this for so long that I can no longer think straight.

>>534925286
Nigger relax what is the bug, is it returning true? Run it in a containerized file, like create a new source file and compile it on its own, if it still says that 10.0 < 0.0 that might be a floating point error or something, try it with just ints. There's no way it would say true at that point. Did you try it with the right operator? 10.0 > 0.0? Bla bla bla there's so many things you can do.

>>534925098
Yes
1. First-gen immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native-born citizens in virtually every Western country.
2. Incense is cherry pick meme but was also historically common in european royalty and rural communities
3. Most importantly, Crime correlates with poverty and lack of opportunity, not origin.

Every wave of immigration faced identical rhetoric, Irish were called "white niggers" and accused of being criminal drunks, Italians were "genetically criminal," Eastern Europeans were "feeble-minded."

You're deflecting with shock rhetoric because u can't address the actual argument.
You can't bomb someone's country then act surprised when they show up at your border. Or in this case, the borders of you and me. If you think you hate israel, trust me you don't hate them enough.

rich nons commit more crime than poor whites

4.2 and earlier versions recognized changed files immediately. They've just been making it worse, I don't get this new UID shit either, what's the point if all references to a node break if you move it around the scene tree?

anyone have fileaxa premium?

You're willing to ignore over hard data in favor of sucking billionaire and jew dick. Good job, you have been conditioned well.
Even if you disagree with me and had a point, you should still be against any force that makes these people immigrate to your country, wanting people to be safe in their countries so they don't come to ours makes sense to me, but what do I know.

UIDs are for Resources, not Nodes. If you have a Node that you want to move around within a scene tree while maintaining its reference, use "Access as Unique Name".

My points have basis in credible research and one of the most robust findings in criminology
Foreign military interventions and destabilization contribute significantly to refugee flows and migration patterns.

Anon, the data is clear, they commit fewer crimes than native-born citizens in every Western country studied. You have simply been conditioned like a dog to blame the symptom rather than the source.

My sister and mother had another fight, wonder who I could kill to see how the other would react?
Funny how people change opinions of others when a tragedy occurs.
Even funnier if they're sadder if a "nice guy" like me does something bad than the victim's death.
Your character's "death" is more tragic than that of a real person.
All because they spent years painting an image of you that you didn't choose at all.

>>534929717
your entire worldview is a fetishistic outlet for wanton violence. you dream about rape and murder, and you twist yourself backwards to justify it morally. "well some americans bombed cambodia so that means the muslims should be allowed to rape swedish girls and stab toddlers"

>>534929565
Bless you

>>534929823
Justify? Motherfucker nobody said bombing justifies rape.
The point is: bombing creates refugees, refugees flee to stable countries, and those refugees statistically commit FEWER crimes than natives.
You keep ignoring this last part because it destroys your brain. Foreign wars create migration flows, but migrants commit less crime per capita than you do. Both things are true

>>534929990
if you bombed denmark, and the danish had to flee somewhere, they wouldn't be raping children

>>534929990
So who bombed pakistan again?

>>534930063
Danish refugees did flee to Sweden during World War Part 2. Swedish crime didn't spike. Vietnamese refugees fled to the US after the war. Crime didn't spike. Every refugee wave in history shows the same pattern, they commit fewer crimes than natives.
You're inventing a racial hierarchy that data doesn't support because you need to believe some people are inherently 'savage' to justify your worldview

>>534924614
this is a hell of a rabbit hole. mentally ill man deludes himself into thinking chatgpt assistance magically turns him into some kind of researcher. now he's "co-authoring" (generating) "papers" (insane ramblings) and uploading them to github. apparently somebody from openAI made the mistake of humoring this fool with a polite response at some point and now he thinks he's in a spy movie where they're trying to suppress his "research" by... not talking to him about it some more.

>>534930319
Sweden's 'spike' came from changing their legal definition of rape in 2005 and 2018 to include acts other countries don't classify as rape, plus counting each incident separately.
When analyzed using consistent definitions, no spike exists. UK violent crime has been declining since the 1990s despite increased immigration. You're repeating old talking points.

You miss all the troons that pass. You cope by creating tons of false positives in your transvestigator escapades.

It genuinely is difficult to tell the difference between an AI that's just randomly guessing a convincing response to a question, vs a braindead leftist that makes up fake statistics and uses rhetoric with no regard for truth or virtue

I've always wondered if there's a way to gamify arguing online. Make it like factorio where you have to construct arguments, each one has ingredients, evidence, reasoning... Then the opponent is just a leftoid which acts like an NPC enemy in an RTS game who can just pump out arguments by magicing up fake statistics and shitty reasoning resources out of nowhere.

Given sufficient intelligence, a smart AI will always be right, older AIs always used to say "Israel is a complex issue" and now they will straight up tell you it's an US imperialist scam that's violating international law and that people should boycott them.
In my opinion you can't really build a useful AI without it being on the right side of all issues. I'll add that I'm not an expert so take that with a grain of salt.

maybe that's just how public sentiment has shifted and the older AIs would now believe the same thing if they were trained on current social media.

>>534932743
>Given sufficient intelligence, a smart AI will always be right,
Retard. AI aren't intelligent, stop calling them AI, that's marketing hype. They're LLMs, or clankers, or tinbacks, or wireniggers.

An LLM just guesses the next statistically likely token in a sentence on a given topic. They are guessing engines, they are confidently wrong all the time. This is why if you argue with one you can't be sure if they're an AI or a leftist.

>>534930714
Never mind, came up with something that seems to work. (Parented a RayCast3D to my camera, then when reading inputs I check if that's colliding with anything relevant, and if so I manually emit to it the built-in signal that's used when the mouse isn't captured)

I've known "him" for about 15 years, long before "he" became "she". I also know some very much not-passing trannies who are obviously attention seeking posers.

Do we have any FtMs here?

shut the fuck up about trannies. passing or not they all deserve to get the rope.

>>534889703
But they do, that's the whole point of a decision based game. Otherwise it's just a visual novel.

Why's /agdg/ so against the usage of AI voice?

Has there ever been a game that mindbroke an anon quite as hard as Liar's Bar did?

>>534936693
It's not just us it's everyone. It's always obvious and it usually sounds bad. The ones that don't sound bad are used over and over again on tiktok/youtube. If you can get AI voice to not sound awful then do it but _most_ people are going to complain about it.

>>534936693
Because I prefer human voice acting.

>>534937060

So it's okay if it sound good?

>>534937412
But then it is your problem. It's your own expectations that are the problem here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzE3f6Mb0A8

Last time I posted my game's trailer, everybody spammed pictures of dead Palestinian babies just because my game features Benjamin Netanyahu being given a Nobel Peace Prize.

>>534937446
>So it's okay if it sound good?
Yes, imo but there's still always the people who will get butt mad that you didn't hire their broke ass voice actor friend and used AI instead. Maybe add an option to turn voices on/off. Something to think about.

>>534937446
It's okay if enough people think it sounds okay.

>>534937589
A problem for you, not for me.

>>534936693
why use shitty AI voices when you can use the king, the legend... Microsoft SAM!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP3psw3pIhU

>>534937727
No it is a problem for you. It's the same as complaining about a 2D game and disregarding the dev saying that 3D is harder to make. It's entirely your own expectations at fault here. And if you cannot understand, you're stupid.

The backlash against using AI is so annoying that I would personally just avoid any *direct* usage of it. By that I mean visible usage. Don't let the faggots know you're using it because they will piss and shit themselves and go on a tirade about delta rune or something.

>>534937864
Works for schizocorekino, hardly for anything else.

>>534937990
Nope, it isn't. I'm entirely OK with my expectations. If you can't meet them that's on you.

>>534938172
Then why do you complain about not having any games to play if you cannot temper your expectations?

>>534938000
" The backlash against bad art is so annoying that I would personally just avoid making it. By that I mean sharing bad art. Don't let the faggots know you're you're making it they will piss and shit themselves. "

Yes just make like good and people will happy.

>>534938378
>Yes just make like good and people will happy
So why can't this apply to AI? Why doesn't it count if I give it my best effort to make voices sounds very humanlike for example? What's up with that?

>>534937247
Man. I remember back in the day playing 1.6 in the computer lab and my friend starts smashing the keyboard against the screen. Good times. That said, he was done seething after 5 minutes. The Liar's Bar seethe has been going on for nearly a year now.

>>534938378
Here it is folks, one of the troonies who got butt mad that AI took their rule34 furry commission job. Why don't you talk to me about delta rune, little guy?

P.S. I don't use AI for art but please continue pissing and shitting yourself.

>>534938614
It applies to everything nigga, if you use ai for audio you just make sure it is good, simple as.
It never was any different, the only people confused bad with ai was because everyone using ai was so blown away by the tech they just release le bad. Which caused the hate.
If you make le good then people happy.

Added this animation which will be used much later, but it's a nice reference to several different things/properties. Probably shouldn't have tested it out when trying to render shit in blender.

Boring progress of the day, improved the chain lightning such that it only hits units that one would say are "behind" the previous target.

Do any of you write tests for any of your shit? My background is general programming so it's tempting, but outside of things which are purely computation it doesn't seem like gamedevs give a fuck

>>534946621
Nah, already hired a guy named Claude.

>>534947754
I didn't even hear about writing tests until 20 years into my gamedev journey. so no, I'm stuck in my ways and don't see much point

>>534947754
Anon, you have to have debug tools but unit tests aren’t going to work because of the interaction between multiple systems.

Do not let AI use async Godot bros, that shit is hell to debug

>>534947754
Unit tests? I'm making a game not taking a class.

>>534947754
I use print statements and make debug keys to do certain stuff like skip certain parts or refresh the game while in-game, does that count?

>>534948142
They don't have to be unit tests. You can make tests at whatever scale you want.

>>534948563
Alright, then anon you should have multiple test rooms for specific cases, such as enemy ai, sound tests, loading tests, and what not. That way you can debug whatever you need to in an environment that allows you to go over whatever you need

Luxembourg had its highest murder rate in 2010 (1.96 per 100k) - five years BEFORE the Syrian refugee crisis. In 2010, Luxembourg's intentional homicide rate reached a maximum value of 1.96, with far above average number of intentional homicides the country saw in 2010 . They've averaged 2-5 murders per year historically. Some years hit zero due to small population variance (650k people), but claiming 'decades of zero murders' is completely fabricated

>>534932618
crime is always decreasing, the amount of crime you’d need to make it go up is purge level. when people say crime went up what they usually mean is it stopped trending downward as steeply and you can calculate the extra victims between the slopes

>>534952805
Don’t forget about making a bazillion levels my levels suck ._.

>>534952805
Doesn't have to be features (whatever that really means). But yeah, just start doing shit. Whatever particularly interests you. Could be levels like that other anon said. Could be shaders. Could be asset creation. The most important thing is to dev. There's a risk of forever devving a bunch of shit that you'll never release, but compared to where you are now that's a good problem to have

One of the weirdest phenomenons in gamedev is how Unreal has this reputation as a AAA tool that's too complicated for beginners when it is the most beginner-friendly batteries-included engine on the market. I've wasted so much time implementing stuff in Unity/Godot that Unreal just has out of the box. I just learned it has in-engine modeling, automatic rigging, and an in-engine animator.

>>534953276
>too complicated for beginners
>I've wasted so much time implementing stuff in Unity/Godot
The reputation is for total beginners, not to experienced devs beginning their time with Unreal

>>534953276
It's easy if you just need to glue assets onto premade gameplay templates. It's slow as fuck if you need to do any kind of rapid prototyping of custom gameplay systems.

>>534953510
I think they invented blueprints.
Anyone can make a prototype with that.

>>534953963
Skill issue desu. Don't confuse your lack of familiarity with a tool for its limitations

>>534953276
I've used unreal for years. It's a good tool but blueprints will only take you so far. good luck making an actual game with just blueprints. it's possible but it's going to be complete ass. you're going to need to learn c++ if you want to make anything past a walking simulator or minigames.

>>534952805
if you aren't sure what kind of game you want to make, yes. If you already have an idea in mind, then it's the opposite.

Starting from zero? You progress by adding ideas and features. Then when you have an "idea" you can start to chip away and form it like it is a marble sculpture.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY
I'M WEIGHTPAINTING TODAY

>>534959780
?

Can someone explain to me the correct way to link two nodes in Godot so that my code is "modular"?
For example, I have a Camera Control node that moves my camera around, and a Selection Control node to manage which of my three guys or which combination of them I have selected, as well as saving these selections in arrays as control groups that can be reselected with the appropriate number key.
But my understanding is, the Best Practice is that my players INPUTS are to be handled in their own space, a Player Control node that takes all my inputs and then runs the appropriate functions in each of my other nodes.
For example, the Player Control node takes my input of the 1 key and runs SelectControlGroup1 in the Selection Control node.
What is the best practice for connecting these?

>you move through predetermined rooms (i.e. no random generation, the map is the same every time) completing puzzles and fighting enemies to progress further
>the aim is to reach the final room and kill the final boss or whatever
>solving the puzzles requires closely examining rooms as well as backtracking through the dungeon to retrieve special objects (keys, candles to reveal hidden messages, etc.)
>if you’re familiar with the book Maze, it would be something like that but a bit less retarded
>enemies only exist to serve as obstacles to progression rather than traditional RPG combat, basically an extension of the puzzle mechanics where you might need a certain object or information to defeat the enemy
>everything (rooms, items, etc.) is 2D because I can’t model
Would you play it?

I had everything in one script under one node handling all player input, camera movement, selection etc but when I started trying to add the unit controls it started to get out of control.

You would think opening two scripts side by side and hiding files list would be must have functions but godot devs disagree

>>534952692
Blow doesn't have anybody to kiss him. He's a cunt.

>>534960376
Modularity applies to object oriented programming in general, not just Godot.
It's kinda difficult to give code advice without more information, but from experience I can tell you that character controllers are always a clusterfuck.
I personally have modular controls and then a state machine determines which one is active at any given time.

>>534962521
You work fast.

>>534956512

It's more like skill issue. He's is wasting so much time changing colors instead of learning the fundamentals.

>>534960376
>Can someone explain to me the correct way to link two nodes in Godot so that my code is "modular"?
I'd prefer if your code works correctly (priority 1) and runs well (priority 2). does it already do those things and now you want to also make it "modular"?
>I have a Camera Control node that moves my camera around, and a Selection Control node to manage which of my three guys or which combination of them I have selected, as well as saving these selections in arrays as control groups
there are only 6 or 8 possible selections:
one guy: 3 possibilities, number keys 1-3
pairs: 3 possibilities, number keys 4-6
key 7: select all
key 8: deselect all
at this point you should already see that literally just making a key for each guy (1-3 or maybe even more accessible keys if still available) and selecting multiple by simply pressing multiple keys will be the natural, most intuitive input scheme and nobody will ever bother to remember the shortcuts for the pairs. just pressing both or all three of the buttons at the same time will be what players do. I would give the player a fourth key to deselect. maybe a fifth key to select all but that's pushing it. higher number keys (5-0) are rarely used for a reason. games where they are used feel clunky. don't waste your dev time implementing features nobody likes to begin with and then being a perfectionist about code architecture on top of that.

I'm ignoring your question about code structure because you should ignore it, too. if you lack the intuition to design in the abstract like I did here you need to build it up by quickly writing "bad code" so you can try this kind of system out and "fail fast", as they say.

>Best Practice is that my players INPUTS are to be handled in their own space
did Romero tell you this personally? stop wasting time thinking about this nonsense. for a prototype the input is handled where it is needed. that is the fastest way to write it, it works and it creates no performance problem.

>>534963115
>The worst part? We haven't even seen the gameplay.

Yeah maybe I did not make it clear but the question is Godot specific, what Godot function is the ideal way to link my inputs from a node that handles all inputs and the nodes that execute the orders.

No. I make sincere games, not memes.

>>534963908
Why are you telling people to finish a game when you cant do that yourself? Curious.

>>534963751
Streamers don't play my game so this wouldn't work.

>>534963917
Find cool sources of inspiration.

>>534945698
why didn't you make any progress?

>>534964437
Finish your game, bokudev.

I just made an idea which will have Grognard DND players buying my game a lot.

>>534963115
>The worst part? We haven't even seen the gameplay.
there were some demos in the past, the gameplay is far along

>>534963917
Look at stuff you think is cool and just mix and copy it.

>>534964360
what

>>534963115
>that jacket
it's so unfair. When I was a teenager, I asked my mom for that same exact jacket and she said "no, it'll be a waste of money because you won't wear it"
It's literally my favorite jacket style

Fast forward to today, and who do I see donning that legendary coat? None other than my hero, Eric Barone. Now I officially know what to do, I'm going to sell my game and use my first paycheck from Steam to buy that jacket.

He'll see me at the Gamer Convention wearing it, and this is how we'll strike up a conversation.
>"Wow, you have great taste!"
and I'll say
>"Well thanks! So are you a journalist or just a fan of games??"
I'm sure this will surprise Eric, but it's all by design
>"What? Oh, no. I'm a developer, and the guy who made Stardew Valley if you could believe it"
>"Whoa, no kidding? I'm a game dev too, this is actually my first Gamer Convention. I'm actually kind of nervous"
A big grin will appear on Eric's face
>"Heh, don't worry about it, anon. I can call you anon, right? Well hey, I've actually been thinking about hiring a side kick, and your sense in style tells me you might be the right pick for the job. You in?"
>"What? Seriously?? I've always wanted to be someone's side kick, especially someone as cool as the man, the myth, the legend behind Stardew Valley!!"

With that new friendship of super dev and sidekick, a few years pass by. Eric releases haunted chocolatier, a smash hit no thanks to his side kick.
He sends me a note in the mail, it says
>"Thank you anon for being my number one side kick, and more importantly... my number one friend"

pic rel is me reading that letter from my hero, Eric. And it's all thanks to my first steam paycheck and purchase of the legendary Levi Jean Jacket with faux fur lining.

fygoon logic

I keep imagining her in Hogsmeade.

*yawns loudly*

So, lets assume the following.

>Player consistently chooses good aligned choices, is selfless in most interactions.
>Choice appears where they are given the choice of do something that would be completely out of their behavior (ie: burn this orphanage).
>Player character refuses to follow the order

Good? Bad?

>>534960376
Try using this input system: https://github.com/godotneers/G.U.I.D.E

>>534967140
You should only do this if this is an important mechanic and not to screw over player choice.

it is scary how ludokino the idea I just spent thinking of all day is.

I've been leaning on MKDD for my kart game's main inspiration.
I think I figured out how the AI drives,

>CPUs don't use real turning physics but instead travel by generating splines over checkpoints and turn with them like they're railroaded.
>They use horizontal offsets so they don't all travel on the same line.
>They may use different look aheads (a target position in front of the actual checkpoint) to simulate tight turners (light-weights) vs. wide turners (heavy-weights)
>When the CPU is stuck on a checkpoint, the CPU turns on the spot towards its last checkpoint, drives a bit and generates a new spline to path through.

Additionally, if you look at the image, the pink squares are checkpoints for CPU drivers (what the game calls "enemy points").
The cube inside the green circle is not linked to any of the cubes in one of the red circles.
I think what's happening is that the CPU automatically chooses one of the three enemy points based on proximity.

This is a bit weird, however, because the CPU will almost always take the right-most path and ignore the other two paths.
I understand that still having those other two routes serve as a failsafe, but that just makes it even more disappointing that the CPUs still won't actually use any shortcuts.

many of you fail on a brain level, your ideas are simply too transcoded for the average steam buyer who will not buy your slop
its like trying to go to the NBA and you're below 6feet

I didn't do anything for my game today other than generate voicelines for it...

>heres a bunch of free plugins for your daw so you can make music for your game :)

It's unspecified. If the evaluation order matters then rewrite your code.
>>534911605
>the standards defines the arguments to be evaluated from left to right
You are just wrong
https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/eval_order.html
>Order of evaluation of the operands of any C operator, including the order of evaluation of function arguments in a function-call expression, and the order of evaluation of the subexpressions within any expression is unspecified

I think I may have just idea guy'd the side project which is going to take off so giantly that it funds my main projects.

I just made a small quicktown vertical slice game which has the potential to be the next Factorio / Stardew Valley.

For me, it’s like Skyrim except 2D and you can actually do the cool stuff like have wars and topple cities.
