Progress.

I just still do not understand the inconsistent art style choice of Hypercoven.

Can anyone explain it to me? The yesdev already offered one explanation: >>535991665

...

>>535989312
Care to point out how it’s not a real RTS?
>>535994090
The sums I paid were so low, it would not be worth it for anyone to peddle stolen assets at that price. The only stuff I bought that rakes in real money, as far as I can tell, are the tilesets by szadi and rafaelmatos, but I figure if they were stolen they’d have been thrown off itch by now. They are very clearly developed and maintained by their original authors.
>>535993497
>>535993535
Yep thanks. A lot of attempts have been made to find a solution for the assets, and I haven’t given up either. I just didn’t feel like sitting on the finished game for another two years looking for a solution that may never show up.

>durrrrrrrrr rts is dead
>gamescom announced like 4 new AAA rts games
don't you people ever get tired of being wrong all the time?

>>535995150
Can I get a quick rundown on why we hate Hypercoven? I know the dev is kind of annoying, but he's also like barely even here. This game has been in development for so long and no one even talks about it.

Out of all possible Stardew collabs why on earth would Eric choose this? Is there any chance this unscrupulous Chinese corp is using the Stardew IP without permission?

https://youtu.be/n-_NELRrgvk?si=rDRTSnhafYJ-eN-6

>>535995150
Art is hard so he bought his assets instead. And let's not pretend anything else agdg makes would be any better

>>535995492
Probably because it's a huge company with tons of money they can throw at Eric

>>535995424
>Someone actually finishes a project

why are you advertising a multimillions professional game made by a fullteam at concernape LLC in the amateur gamedev general? are you begging or advertising for a multimillion company's slop collab in a hobbyist general? surely janny who follows the 4channel rules wouldn't allow this!!!!
if you wanna discuss videogames >>>/v/

>>535995424
>Can I get a quick rundown on why we hate Hypercoven?
Who's we? 99% of people here are apathetic or lightly supportive. Don't get your opinions from the two schizos who make 80% of the posts in these threads

How do I get good at character design?

>>535995671
He's rich, he has no need for more money.

>>535996040
And yet all rich people try to make more money. Curious!

>>535995917
Something about using visual language to describe their personality

amateur game development? mister janitor wont like these offtopic posts!!!!
if you want to talk about the life of z-tier ecelebs you have >>>/trash/

>>535995424
I don't hate it. I simply understand that it's not something that gamers want to play. I think the developer sunk cost himself into a NGMI project, and other developers here should learn from his mistake.

Why do walk cycles have to be this hard? Why does animation have to be this hard?

>>535996909
I can still hit it.

>>535995424
Nobody hates him. Also how is he annoying you just made that up. The dev is one of the more consistent DD streamers so shut up and show some respect

>>535996909
just learn to use reference.

>>535995424
I don't hate him, I simply do not understand at all. His response makes no sense to me. He paid money, for, inconsistent art, and assets that might have been pirated?

I can't even.

>>535996909
I think walking is specifically difficult. People are just really good at recognizing walking patterns. My eyesight has been shit for decades and from a hundred feet away I can still recognize the blurry gait of someone I haven't seen in years.

Antieric schizo is having a total meltie at /sdvg/
>>535994338

>>535995506
But why would he buy inconsistent art? And also not ensure that the art was not pirated by the sellers originally?

>>535997809
thats me, i will post in your shithole every time you do your eceleb worship routine

>>535997932
Just go work on your game, anon

I don't like Stardew. I think it's fucking boring but I love how much it makes some of you fucking seeeeeethe.

>>535997602
not him but read all his posts in just the last thread

>>535997932
It literally doesn't matter. You're retarded. Fixing the art wouldn't change how well his game would sell. He would be just wasting even more money. You think the brazilians on fiverr he would buy bespoke art from wouldn't also just be stealing it from somewhere? Nodev dumbfuck.

SHILLING MY DOTA COUNTERPICKS WEBSITE AGAIN: https://dotapicker.eu.pythonanywhere.com/

Remember anons, everyone likes a complementary and consistent art style in a game

>>535998332
I kinda just feel bad for him desu. He clearly had much higher expectations even though all the data and feedback he's received told him otherwise. It's what happens when a red goat refuses to pull his head out of the sand.

>>535998431
I'm too busy working on my game to play DotA.

>>535998586
Red goat? What does that mean?

>>535998673
:(

Hyper who?

>>535998758
Welcome to the general, newfren. Post game.

>>535998332
You nodev niggas define "annoying" as "developer who said something I disagree with once and refused to apologize to me and kiss my ass"

>>535998347
But he already spent money. On the inconsistent art. And please speak more fondly about yourself.

>>535999104
Easy solution to this is to just never associate your game with an opinion.

hey guys gather around, gather around
time for /agdg/ to all brainstorm on the ONE ISSUE all games had that if fixed, the game would be a trillionaire, lets see what interesting ideas they've come up with...
uhh... he didn't shill it enough to... RTS streamers that absolutely exist but of course /agdg/ cant name them

>>535999234
That's kinda what made nodevs forget that we're better than them and led to the inner circle being formed who monopolized the strong opinions in this general to only be allowed to align with their reddit sensibilities

>>535999378
The difference between a good game and bad game is never just one single issue.

>>535999378
>the ONE ISSUE all games had that if fixed
The number one issue that plagues the vast majority of /agdg/ games is poor tutorialization.

are we bullish or bearish on AI? i started a new x the everything app account for my pure AI gamedev persona but im shadowbanned until i buy pro (i make a lot of money i just wanted to see the difference without pro)

No new ideas for a simpler project to hop to so just steamrolling ahead with my dream game.

Did Steam nuke/change how reviews are counted when I wasn't looking? There's a lot of games that I vividly remember having WAY more reviews than what they have right now.

>>535999913
Language filter

>>535999913
This >>536000003. Language filter came out a few days ago.

>>535999823
2 days ago i googled what the leaderboard names for spacewar were because i was testing something
the AI summary was adamant it was no leaderboards, which is wrong
the real answer was like the 3rd result, so its too stupid to even grab external information properly, but if you want to use it to make your game go ahead
(also asked how to get leaderboard information from the API and it told me the wrong endpoint to call)

Better name? I decided on these 2 from a list I made:

Warp Crest
Void North Star

My dumbass thought entrance to Steam Next fest ended Aug 31st but it's actually the 25th so I'm rushing to make a steam page now for submission tomorrow so I can enter it in time.

>>535995917
My advice:
1) must be cute or hot or cool looking, nobody wants to look at an uggo they will be repulsed by it and therefore they won't buy your gaym
2) must convey to the viewer what the character is about at a glance (their gender, profession, interests)
3) less is more: don't overdesign your character with useless bullshit, this goes back to the clarity thing we discussed in point 2, if you put too much shit on your character it just creates a lot of noise and a lack of focus and clarity
4) use references: think of yourself as an alchemist brewing a potion, you're gonna need ingredients, so look up "air jordan sneakers" or "homeless man" or "trench coat" etc.

>start game with artist friend
>he drops it after a month
Why are artfags like this? Learning how to draw will set me back 5 years.

>>535996909
Let me clue you in on the ultimate hack: look up "walk cycle reference", make sure it's a frame by frame side view, import the reference image, scale it so the figure in the reference and your character are the same dimensions and just trace each frame. You're welcome.

Also retro 2D games like Street Fighter can be useful, look up sprite sheets for characters and trace those as well

>>536000885
>Learning how to draw will set me back 5 years.
For your first game
After that you'll have a 5 years advance for all your other games

guys, does this look antisemitic....

making higher fidelity art is such a fucking pain in the ass bros i'm so demoralized rn, feelt like its been a month since i've seen my game just because i'm grinding art

>>536001057
unacceptable, you will hear from the attorney general

Anyone working on shaders today? this is a white dwarf star.

>>536001528
why are they called white if they're blue

>>536000885
The base concept wasn’t good enough. The concept needs to be REALLY good to keep an artist interested enough to work on one thing for years.

>>536001528
I don't know how to work on shaders.

>>536000352
I like Warp Crest. It's snappy, sounds cool, says what you do (and the way you implemented it stands out), and crest kinda sounds like quest.

>>536000003
>>536000091
Oh ok I see it now. Thanks.

>>536000352
Whats the plot?

usable or not?

>>536001528
shader devs are a big no no around these parts. last one who tried could only make shitty looking garbage and was rightfully criticized

>>536001528
Nice.

>>536001693
Why are white people beige-pink, genius?

>>536002009
dude, thats 2 frames
unless you're making a turn-based something thats useless

>>536000921
The 2D sprite thing is a good idea I'll check that out

>>536002009
Wow, that looks AMAZING anon
Just look at those pixels, wow.
Is this your original character?

>>536002009
Can you use it?

>>536002009
can tell its AI even from the thumbnail
i'll be able to tell with dalle 4 too

>>536002225
im gonna use godot cutout animations
thats my plan, better than nothing

>>536001693
They come in many colors but the first ones they discovered were white and they never changed the name.

>>536001693
they start out bluish-white then age into white then yellow and red until they stop emitting light entirely

>>536002009
Huh, surprisingly good for LLM generated

>>536002225
Turn-based games have more than 2 frames... even in Final Fantasy 1 on NES a full attack animation used 3 frames

>>536000003
>>536000091
Thank god, I was getting tired of hearing bootyblasted ricecels crying about not bowing to china hard enough

>>536002009
Only two frames and he doesn't hold the sword in the correct hand in the second frame

>>536003131
it will be cut in small parts and used in skeletal animations just as a test

so many wishlists did hypercoven have pre-launch?

>>536003336
in the thousands, he's the guy always posting the unnamed wishlists post

>>535995128
AI slop

>>536003336
Estimate from gamalytic says 552.

>>536003524
c-c'mon anon thinking up prompts is hard

Wishlist counts are irrelevant. The only thing that matters is whether a game is good or not. A large wishlist amount will not help a bad game and zero wishlists will not hurt a good game.

>>535999823
Vibe coding in the hands of someone who can read and understand code is powerful.

AI art is still ways away from being usable but maybe some people have found to force it with the current tools.

>>536003945
If you’re reading and fixing the results then it’s not vibe coding. Vibe coding is specifically not bothering to read or try to understand the code, hence relying on “vibes.”

>>536003615
Wishlist counts mostly don't matter, especially past a certain point, but resting wishlist velocity is the strongest pre-release predictor for a game's success.

https://unity.com/products/ai

AI chads, we're so BACK. Unity built-in AI??? I won't ever have to model, code, or texture again! WOWEEEE!

>>536004254
Maybe, but don’t confuse cause with effect. Good games cause wishlist velocity. You should not care at all about effects, only the cause.

>>536003615
Wishlists are very important pre-launch. not directly, but indirectly by putting you in a better standing to get in the algorithm post-launch.
the more ways you can spike engagement, the better chance you will have to get picked up by the algorithm. and what better way to get a spike in engagement than announcing your game to thousands of people simultaneously

>>536004445
Unity is for real game devs who don't want to do make models, textures, levels, dialogue, characters, or a story! Get with the times grandpa, AI is HERE and Unity is on the FOREFRONT.

If you use AI, you're no longer a solo dev

>>536004945
Good. Solodevs are NGMI.

>>536005125
Skill issue.

I'm a solodev and I made it

>>536005350
What did you make?

How do I fix this?

>>536005462
Your shits fucked. It's all taco text.

>>536005462
Sorry, beaner. I don't speak mexican.

>>536004648
Good games will have engagement no matter what. You don’t need to worry about wishlists, you only need to worry about if the game is good.

>>536005570
>>536005639
Godot doesn't save my edits to a gltf animation.

>>536005793
You're trying to save it directly into the gltf file? You can't but I have a feeling this is not what you're trying to do. Copiar Texto, Jefe

Gabe owes me succeess

>>536005793
Make the animation library unique and save it as its own resource file.

Solving this shit so elegantly and patiently. Before chatJewPT this would have been a competitive advantage.

>>536005784
9/10 and 10/10 games will get great organic engagements, and wishlists will only boost them higher.
for the other good games, you need the algorithm to help you stand out

wishlists are 90% of what matters on the contrary
they'll be the bulk of your early sales, and early sales are the exclusive factor of whether or not valve will promote your game on the algorithm instead of letting it flop

>>535991665
you should add a simple, circular shadow underneath the sprites to give some illusion of depth and make it seem like they're really present. Scale it automatically with respect to the size of the sprite. Nothing fancy. This will already make it look so much better

i know you blame inconsistent art so much but i don't think if you had a team of dedicated artist it would sell gangbusters (though it would sell more)
Your main problem is that at its core, the game is just StarCraft. There's no HOOK. "lots of units" is not a HOOK.
Also, niggas don't be playing no RTSs. Your HOOK could make the game more novel but at the same time approachable to modern gamers. Look at Nine Kings - it's an RTS-like game, but also deckbuilder with cards -- yes i know, deckbuilders are trite and gay, but my point is that it messes with the RTS genre. It's not a 1 for 1 copy of StarCraft.
RTSs with heavy micro (or even heavy macro) are also too nerdy for modern gamers, they could be streamlined. I don't mean "made stupid for casuals and normies", but, like - 9 Kings is not a retard-proof movie game where you win automatically, you still have to think and make important decisions to win. You just do it in less clicks.

For me personally, although i love the idea of playing RTSs (mostly due to a combination of nostalgia and love of the theme/setting of the games), actually playing them is tiresome because there's a LOT of actions and most of them are very very small in terms of meaning. Your victory is a combination of 999 factors of 0.01%, whereas I'd rather it be like 20 decisions per game sessions where each decision changes it 10% or negative 10% in my favor. Do you know what I mean?!?!

anyway congrats on the release

>>536006157
>>536006316
I'm trying to add values like a collision mesh value to the attacks.

>>536001747
Yeah I wanted it to be related to the game. Warp crests are those things you take to travel to one area to another, and Void North Star was a take on how you're nowhere near home, and thus, don't have a North star to guide you home.

>>536002007
Auto battler, thrust into a uncharted part of the galaxy from a wormhole. Many hostiles, fight in timer-based battles, get new parts for your ship to get different types of builds with varying effects, travel around, ultimately trying to find a wormhole that gets you back home.

There's something metaphysically evil about game marketing

>>536007717
thank you!

>>536007745
How so anon? Is there a better way to get people to play a game?

>>536007953
Just make a good game and people will naturally play it. You never need to market a good game.

>>536007953
I'll just get some decently big youtuber with a fanatic following to cover it. Until then all those people are latent sleeper buyers that will get a copy eventually when they find out about the game but there's no guarantee of when they will find it

I am more of god than Jesus

>>536007745
90% of marketing is your product. "Promotion", schizo. The word you want to use is "promotion".

>>535987860
Fygoon dropped a diss track about cris a while back.
https://files.catbox.moe/xhg1s8.mp3

Has anyone here hit over 500 wishlists on their game? If so what did you do

>>536008616
uhhhh since when was fygoon beyond based?? thats not bad at all, really early 90s but still good.

Of course a great game can get by on word-of-mouth, but you still need marketing to get your first customers. People need to be aware your game exists AND need to be convinced to buy it. Your first customers DON'T KNOW the game is great, they need to be convinced to try it out.

>>536009490
a japanese twitter account posted about my game and it got me 1200 in a week
that was like 80% of my wishlists

My goal is to make the next "he is literally me" Guts from Berserk type of character. I want young men to have a strong male lead to look up to, even though he's fictional.

>>536010351
Guts from Berserk but with a different haircut.

>>536010351
idk about you but my male lead is gonna be martial arts expect and he punches alot and he is strong and has the shadow thing over his eyes to make him look strong and cool

Yes, but Guts learns from that experience and becomes stronger than ever.

good luck animating it

>>535994823 (OP)
>shadow drops with placeholder graphics
you only do that if you got a large enough following on itch

>>536004150
Fair enough. Then let's say that AI is great for giving you suggestions on implementations, showing ways to modify your existing code with the changes you want, asking API related questions and otherwise functioning as an advanced sort of google. It's just great how fast you can get answers to simple questions. With these AI chatbots existing there's little need to dig through documentation or browse old forum threads in hopes for finding the answer you need.

It isn't always right but when you can read the code you notice and can fix the problem yourself while the real vibe coders will get stuck in a loop of trying to get the AI to fix it.

>>536004542
>Good games cause wishlist velocity.
This is true but you still need to market or nobody will know about your game.

Take notes faggots, THIS is what SOVL looks like:
https://youtu.be/BYfyI8KkZnc?si=-s7rjn1eJ-coPOR0&t=526

so, gave a try to hypercoven, here's my thoughts:
>i like the mouse cursor
>graphics are fine. some things do feel out of place, like the car guys in the tutorial level
>music is too quiet even on higher volumes, and feels repetitive. The tracks that play feel fitting for the game vibe
>with that, on the first level (not tutorial), some objects seem like they can be interacted in some capacity but they cant be
>I wish there was a shortcut button to select all of my entities and be able to move them, rather than left click or left click + drag for the box thing
>not sure why King is the only one who can pick up artifacts, I think it'd be better to allow minions to also collect the artifacts
>can't cancel from the summon circle (pressing X), I got swarmed during that and got a game overs
>path finding seemed to get lost sometimes
>wish I could zoom out even more, currently feels too close
>tutorial felt confusing and barebones, wish it went more in-depth

overall, 6.5-7/10 for the time I played (around 30ish min). I can't really comment on it as an RTS game cus I dont play those. Overall, I wish there were more keyboard controls, and an easier way to select all minions

also, I wish that the automatic healing was faster for entities while they are within range of the covenant/summoning thing

but yeah, not a bad game, just not a genre I really understand or am familiar with so I can't really give a thorough review on it.
I think the elephant in the room is the sprites not feeling consistent, as well as some controls feeling wonky (but I dont know if this is typical controls for RTS or not since I dont usually play that style of game)

I think it has a solid foundation with room for improvement, either by updating this game or in your next game project.

Either way, job well done on releasing your game!

Writing stories has helped me improve at game dev in a cosmic sort of way

inspiring, anon. i'm going to make my own walk cycle now instead of using mixamo.

i used to doodle walking stick figures in sticky notes as a kid. one thing that helped me was seeing walking as pole vaulting.

my only only competitor is myself, and damn is he going a good job at making my retard fucking ass quit this shit

>>536016872
If I make it I finna do everything I can to help yall niggas make it to. Thats how it works when you make it out the hood irl. You gotta turn around and help those niggas who been supporting you. Otherwise its bad juju or some dark energy shit like that.

one last time to post this updated pic w/ the gradient texture generator complete. nice little custom editor I made that'll hopefully make doing shaders + areas more quickly.

major downside with this approach is the surface albedo's need a certain config for HSL values in order to work.

also dumping some tracks from the audio track generator I made. tl;dr is I take stems from a Polyend Tracker (essentially MIDI files that are more robust) and then it'll load samples + pureData synth (modelled after Digitone patches).
Dropping this entirely in favor of mp3s cus 1) doesn't work on builds and 2) will never work on anything other than windows (uses dll and vst) and 3) inconsistent volume 4) sometimes loads wrong samples or plays stems in the wrong order

also it takes too long and there's no audio mixing, ADSR, etc. very convoluted for what it is.

Still pretty cool results, these 3 are the ones that sound closest to how they are on the actual hardware (Polyend Tracker + Elektron Digitone)
Not really finished or anything that'll be in the game, just basic demos from testing. I'd rather work on the game than fuck around with audio for another two months.

These days people call all assisted coding vibe coding. If you have copilot installed that gives you tid bits of code like copying from GitHub or StackOverflow like it did in early 2023 then you are unfortunately a vibe coder.
Its kind of like how the word slop used to only describe low effort generic thoughtless content in field of high effort art, but now people use it to describe everything that they either don't like or all non-art stuff that AI produces. I can get behind the AI stuff being called slop in a codebase or in academic paper, but not when describing any media you don't like just because you don't like it.

>>536019461
Slop was chosen specifically because it has endearing connotations and ai proponents like myself adopted it. If we didn't like it it would have not caught on.

Well it's doing a shit job, your game doesn't look like Crash Team Racing at all

>>536019170
oh, yeah its a test to see how the shader graph works. its hard to use a jump flood algorithm without the ability to do for loops. What's shown is pretty much about as good as it'll get without reverting back to hlsl.
I mostly need to adjust how the normals edges and colors edges are handled on that one, but I hate shader graph so I'm putting it off.

I have a pure hlsl outlines shader as well which works a lot better and is more accurate, it also allows to do up to 3 separate passes so each of the normals, depth, and color lines can have their own configuration, as well as each can be injected at various parts of the render stack (ie - depth can be done after opaques, normals after transparents, and color after rendering is done)

basically in the process of re-creating my hlsl shaders into shader graph so if I put them up as assets, most people will have an easier time of understanding how they work as well as being able to make their own using my toon shader (I've never shown this one) as a foundation.

>>536020765
>Make it hard to see
Your resolution is too low. Crt filters are optional because of that specific reason. You need a lot of extra pixels for it to look right. 2k is basically the minimum or you start losing screen brightness rapidly.

>>536019121
>>536019248
even better way is to have the face texture as a sprite sheet and have control values in the shader that set which sprite is showing so you can drive that value from the script to change the face

>>536020698
>This is how shit is supposed to look
I agree, it looks like shit and looks just like it.
>>536020765

it's not clever it looks like ass. if I emulate an old game i'm playing it pixel perfect not with a shitty filter that tries to emulate my childhood in ways that it never physically could.

that's the exact kind of vibe it gives off. it's very good. are you animating it from the bones or are you using a complex rig? (sorry, i'm still very new to blender)

yo my new prompt is making me a multimillionaire for sure

>>536024403
Cool, thanks. I built a rig for this with some inverse kinematics and control bones, so when I move the foot bone the rest of the leg follows with it, for example. I think without inverse kinematics it'd be pretty hard to get something that doesn't look janky, but I'm pretty new to animation and rigging so maybe I'm wrong.

Stenciled onto a 128x128 image with textures I got from texture.com with modifications to the brush tool settings, and then I added some shading/lighting with a black/white colored soft brush set at low strength. There's also some hand-drawn stuff in there. There's like 4 128x128 textures on the model in total. I could have fit it all onto a 256x256 texture, but just using multiple 128x128 ensures I keep the resolution mostly consistent throughout the model, otherwise the resolution might look a little uneven overall. If that didn't make any sense, you can follow along with this vid here, it's what I followed along with when I first got started in this style.

It's literally how pixel art is like that is supposed to look. It was explicitly designed with CRTs and shit in mind. It actually looks worse without it.

>>536028125
How the fuck do you accidentally call a coroutine? You have to intentionally implement them yourself, or are you talking about the jank built into the engine where all the servers run async?

I want to call a function with multiple parameters but I want to do it through the inspector, just like the UnityEvents. But the unityevent doesnt allow multiple parameters or other custom types, like MyClass or Vector3. I am able to do what I want to through scripting, I have no problem there. But I want to make a more generalized component and be able to script things, call methods from other components through the inspector. I couldn't figure out how a UnityEvent's drag and drop feature works. It looks simple but I think it's much more complicated. Maybe I can extend it but I have no idea.
Anyone know how that can be done?

Could be working with others who are writing code too. Could just be using code you found online. Could be the reverse where someone changes the called function to be a coroutine and miss updating some of the callsites.
I feel like you're effectively asking "How could you call a function with the wrong type?" In development with dynamically-typed langs that happens all the time

>>536029440
>You don't have a committee of negrified Jews rating your intelligence in your head.

Because roguelites are based on meta-progression. Climbing back up is a waste of time. Only real games do that like Darkest Dungeon, Moonlighter, Hollow Knight, etc.

>>536032125
>It's not something you can do accidentally, you have to use yield or await somewhere and by their very names it's obvious that they pause code execution
You only "have to" use the keyword inside of the function. The caller doesn't need to. If you have a coroutine `foo`, the caller can do `foo()` or `await foo()`. In most langs the first will return the coroutine, and the latter actually starts execution. From what I'm seeing in GDScript both will start execution. My point is the language has no construct that lets you tag the function definition such that it'll error when you call it without `await` because that's unintended usage. Is there a warning for it and I just don't have it enabled for my project?
>Also it shouldn't be called coroutines in godot as the code does not run in parallel.
The "co" in "coroutines" is for "cooperative", and they do cooperatively suspend as part of GDScript's runtime

>>536035072
>you can always remember it because people talk about enemy hitboxes
But people talk about enemies having unfair hitboxes and referring to their attacks in slop like souls all the time.

>>536035072

hitbox is what does the damage
hurtbox is what takes the damage

Three vectors, anon. Three of 'em.

>>536034963
There's a bit of confusion because there are games with a high emphasis on "where does this attack hit" (i.e. fighting games) and games with a high emphasis on "where am I vulnerable (i.e. FPS). Of course the concept exists in both, and in other genres, but the difference has lead in different dialect among players of those games (I have no idea if these terms are also used as-is by AAA devs)
In fighting games, beat em ups and similar genres, your hurtbox is the area where you can be hit, and hitbox is the area where your attack hits. Note that your hurtbox doesn't always correlate to your collision box, so it's not equivalent to "where the player is".
But in a FPS, your hitbox is the area where you can be hit, which is the equivalent of a hurtbox in a fighting game, instead of being where your attack hits. That's because "where your attack hits" is far less of an important concept in FPS; you have way less attacks than in a fighting games, but also, many attacks (in some games all of them) don't have an hitbox to begin with because they use a hitscan system instead.

>>536035072
That's backwards actually. If someone HITS you, then you get HURT.

>>536036335

That's fucking stupid, what kind of retard came up with this shit? If that's the case then call it a cooproutine, that's still not right though, it's really a serial routine.

No everything in godot runs serially, thinking about it the only reason you would use yield or await is if you were using threads and wanted to halt execution of the thread. I don't see a good reason to use it in the main thread ever.

The grabbable object as a switch to say if it's grabbed or not, and goes into a grabbed state when the hand is near it and it's not grabbing anything else. Then it becomes centered on a point for the hand to be positioned at which allows easy rotation and manipulation. Once it leaves the grabbing state, it maintains any movement and regains gravity instantly. I made it so objects have slightly more definition so they can do things on their own if needed like if it's an animal of some kind, or if other objects interact with what is grabbed directly instead of interacting with the player.

I actually figured out what the deal is here but didn't update since I figured no one else actually gave a shit. It'll give you the error if the return type is non-void and you actually try to assign it to something. But if either (a) the return time is void or (b) you just drop the non-void return value on the floor then it doesn't complain
This is actually intended according to https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.4/tutorials/scripting/gdscript/gdscript_basics.html#awaiting-signals-or-coroutines though they never mention the error. I maintain there should be a way to force the error for all uses of a particular coroutine

Anybody else feeling sleepy? *yawns* I think it's time to hit the hay, guys. There's plenty of time to dev tomorrow.

>>536041534
IMO, you should never use naked coroutines anyways. Ideally, all your code should be async event driven, but if you must use a coroutine, at least promisifiy the call so you can reference and manage it.

>>536041925
>all your code should be async event driven
Coming from C++ I don't disagree. I'm mainly just trying to understand GDScript before I write it off for some things. This in particular set me off because they pretty much just copied Python for most things but deviated to do something worse here

Do nothing else except play the animation player and only run game code once the animation is finished playing. IDk, I'd just avoid using it altogether just like while loops. I've said before that godot will give you lots of rope to hang yourself with.

>>536045235
I can confirm it will continue to run game code while the animation plays. But yeah, I'm not gonna twist your arm to use it in any event

>>536045004
no, I won't be baited into making a clone of this game and submitting it this demo day, not again

>>536045006
Yeesh. I've been seeing normal ads for this too. Must be blowing through a lot of savings...

>>536045235
Actually, you're right - I gave an incomplete snippet. It only suspends the current function so if you have it in a separate function it will continue to run game code, but if you don't (which my snippet didn't) then you're right

I don't think there is anything bad about watching "that".
It's extremely stigmatized by normalfaggots like the ones plaguing this thread, but objectively speaking if you don't share it, it's really harmless.

that's such bologna. gdscript is ez and it doesn't take a genius to figure out how to get things going with how well the built in documentation works. the engine has its quirks just like any other engine.

If i squint or look from a distance I didnt see the p on war crest, it looks more like a reverberation of the r. It beeds go be more prominent


Or just change the game name to war crest instead of warp crest as r->c flows better than p->c when pronouncing it

War crest is a way better name than warp crest.

Anyone was able to catch the recent Jonathan Blow stream? I missed the beginning of it. There was some sort of a drama I guess. He deleted the vod after.
Also he said something like you shouldn't try to make a game engine. Didn't he advocate on that for a long time. Maybe he finally realized it's not for everybody and how time consuming it is. He seemed to backpaddle from his view a bit.

>>536050631
You should have noticed it sooner

>>536050724
It sounds cooler but I think "warp" is there to fit a specific theme so I'm not sure if it's worth changing it

>>536049994
the font is cool. Id angle/rotate the font a little bit to compliment the wormhole and put more emphasis on the twisting/turning affect of it.

>>536050631
No, I don't have a game.

>>536050778
Enginedevving has always been a retarded endeavor. 95% of games can be made just fine in Unity or Unreal and anything that truly *needs* a custom engine is likely beyond the scope of a one-man indie project anyways.

Unity's main big issue is no double precision coordinates. There's ways to work around it but I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble. I'm not too sure if Unreal is suited for those types of games either.

Then again large worlds games or space sims aren't the bestest of choices for indie.

How the fuk are you guys able to spot its AI?
Is it the sprite being massively upscaled?

My guy... a bunch of the lines aren't straight

>>536053889
holy based
just make her less fat

>>536054162
so basically you just zoom in and squint looking for any inconsistencies got it

>>536054267
That's the most obvious way, at least. If they gave a shit they could use AI and then make proper squares on top of it. Then it's kinda like catching artists who trace drawings

>>536054029
>>536054267
the pixel art is complete dogshit

You can tell without zooming in

ahhh, got it

that doesnt help because ppl can make shit pixel art too tho

???

yeah but you never progress yourself

at that resolution sure but not if it was properly scaled down

Yep, it's AI

>>536002009
How did you generate it? I'm thinking about generating references with AI and then creating my own sprites based on those

>>536055861
Obviously it becomes harder to spot if you scale it down to make the AI slop fake pixels fit the pixel grid. Needs some cleanup though and you have to animate it yourself.

>H-haha, but if I hypothetically had a game with a character wearing an off-shoulder sweater, how would you rig it? Hypothetically, of course haha...

nookrium is playing shadowed if the dev is here

>>536059993
Not sure, some games do design on paper first. Would you tell us the game rules at least? Games that it can be compared to? What decisions are there? What will the challenge be? Will there always be one single option that is always optimal and easy to figure out and execute, the kind that is usually avoided to avoid making it boring in the long run?

>>536061147
You'd learn how to rig clothes, then sweaters and extrapolate your knowledge to the off shoulder type.
This would generally work to anything in gamedev. general knowledge then specific. and if you're still stuck you know the specific issue and how to search for it or ask for help.

>>536054723
>>536059993
>>536061312
How many decisions are there in each turn, and is there always one obvious decision?

>>536038469
Go back to SomethingAwful

>>536061147
Major forms to base skeletal bones, shape keys for creases, extra bones for any flats or super hanging drapery/sleeves. Same way you rig any character.
Asymmetrical clothing just means you apply the mirror modifier at some point before changing the asymmetrical point. The only annoying outlier for rigging is like, capes, Fromsoftware has dedicated softbody middleware software just for that.

Hypothetically, nodev to nodev, of course.

Will there be differences in regards to combat bonuses and maluses between different terrain of the different nodes? Will there be any reason to hold a specific node? Any reason to not just camp with ranged units?

What resources will there be? Can multiple actions and multiple decisions be made at each node?

>>536063681
Multiple squads, multiple actions, I think it might be possible to make it work and be fun. It would require iteration, to find the fun. Rimworld creator wrote something about finding the fun. Also what happens with some jam games, if a jam game turns out fun, then sometimes go on with that design. It's a bit like research and development, and it's not guaranteed that a good game design is found, so a lot of exploration and iteration might be required, depending on the specifics.

>>536064375
kill yourself

>>536064142
-Each squad will have wargear dependent abilities ( you'll need a saw to lay down suppressive fire per example)

-The resource per squad will be discipline and moral, ability cost discipline and moral will change depending on the discipline left at the end of the turn. (Asking too much of a squad may break their morale). I don't know if I should make discipline global or unique to each squad

-You lead your squads across an operation where you have objective to complete (kill a specific VIP, get some loot,...)

-Node (Sector in the game) can give you advantage like vision on the map, cover for your squads, control of doors

>Can multiple actions and multiple decisions be made at each node?
yes

Shaking my head at the niggas trying to streamline Hypercoven's artstyle. Its mishmash collage approach is its main appeal and standout hook visually.

>>536065254
It doesn't appeal me.

this is actually a really fun game, i think it has potential

Jesus. All those unreleased games. Are these people squatting names or does Steam let you do duplicates?

Closed the window laughing. Some people just can't be helped.

>>536066006
Steam lets you do duplicates. There's several dupes in the dumb 100 name list.
I think most of them are attempting to break a certain - I think 2-3k is the magic number? - amount of wishlists before releasing. Some sort of SEO meme that's been going around.

>>536064856
Interesting. It might work, though iteration would be needed.

>Melee troop will be rare (as the asymmetry is you're ranged few and the enemy melee horde) also, infinite enemy spawn
Reminds me of the old board game Space Hulk, with some ports to video game format. Have you played it?
Enemies spawning infinitely sounds smart, since it means that the player cannot cheese it just by camping, but must advance sooner or later.

>>536064856
There is also an old abandonware game, a copyright-violating version of Space Hulk, namely Alien Assault by teardown.se. Though that group appears to have dissolved.
Different maps had different goals, such as reaching a location or holding a location for a number of turns.

>>536066482
you've got to be kidding me
people are trying to release something like... this
and they even have a publisher

>>536067838
Surely anyone can make up some bullshit publisher name

>>536060636
Cool.
>>536059368
Is this Plundergrounds?
>>536067838
You can enter anything you like under Publisher, just letting you know.

I'm starting to think that pixel art is a noob trap, unless you have time to commit many years. Amateur 3D models look better than amateur pixel art.

if you knew beyond any reasonable doubt that success was out there waiting for you, would you still procrastinate?
it's all out there, fans, fame, money, accomplishment, all you need to do is dev for x hours every week
would you truly go "sorry haha i got distracted by shitposting and youtube shorts, i guess i won't succeed after all"?

the answer is almost certainly no
the root of you fucking around is not truly "believing" in yourself

If you're dealing in amateur art then I hope you're making a roguelite where they'll give absolute dog-ass art a pass.

Also I'm not sure there is such a thing as amateur 3D models that isn't synty hyper-decimated shit, 3D models are not fast or easy to make.

I'm talking stuff like Schedule I or Lethal League or Buckshot Roulette.

my dream is to make a game so good, people wont care when i open my own gamedev academy to groom young boys

My game's protagonist is the epitome of "I hate women but I hate the government more"

I mean those genres just don't care. You're courting the Roblox crowd. Their standards are very low.
Although Buckshot Roulette reduces its palette effectively, to where I'd say it doesn't look complete ass like the other two, it's not a bad aiming point if you're an amateur, same as Inscryption. Reducing palette also works nicely for pixel art.

Pixel art is a noob trap in that people think it's the only way to do sprites these days when it's not GameMaker 7 2009 anymore and you can use whatever the hell you like.
