Well good luck with that, boss fights are tricky. I also gotta design one soon and I only got some vague ideas right now.

Just remember, Mario boss fights where you're just sitting through attacks until the 10 seconds you can hit the boss aren't fun.

Neat, didn't even know it existed! Not relevant for my current game but can you use it for the reverse, where character avoids looking at the object?

I fixed some bugs, specifically one crash, made some minor tweaks for memory allocation/performance and added a little spin animation for coin drops. I think I have enough technical stuff done that I really need to focus on gameplay and I have to admit I'm a bit lost.
I'll probably add a stab with higher damage to the player combo to round it out, so it'll be slash/slash/stab. I need to do UI stuff for the build phase, since there's nothing to tell you what button does what, how much it costs, etc.
Also thinking about how to make buildings more interesting. Right now the effective strategy is to just build blacksmiths (which increase player and tower damage) and then spam towers and add a wall. I'm thinking about doing bonuses for buildings a little different, something like having a small global bonus, plus some sort of unique adjacency bonus (i.e. building a market next to a tower causes enemies it kills to drop more coins or something)
There's also some general look and feel work to do, like animations for enemies, and flashing ANY sprite that takes damage instead of just enemies.
Pathfinding probably needs to be done too, but I'm putting that off

I need gameplay footage but I'm too good and it's too muscle memoried in so when I record its too much and then trying to get anyone else to record is such a pain in the ass
It's not like I expect anyone to give even a fraction of the fuck I give about my game but what doesn't help is when people say they want to help so you tell them to put they're money where their mouth is and then they don't. Wanna help me with marketing? Cool then log in to the account and fucking post something 3-5 a day and actually fucking take it seriously.
Can't even get some fuckin douchebag I paid on fiver to play the game it's been 4 days and the idiot hasn't even redeemed the fuckin steam key. Not only that but apparently turning off the music in game and leaving sfx on, and then capturing footage from more than just thr first 2 hours of the first character is apparently "complicated"

Just keep in mind that if you ever switch to Linux(you should, it's awesome), get a screen with Display Port. Literally the only issue I've had with it is this license fuckery.

I was working with my netcode, and I just fell like the rollback was not acting as I wanted. It just felt off. I combed through it for like 2 hours last night. Well, I found that I was doing one less frame of rollback than was needed. I was using
>while rollbackCounter > 0:
instead of
>while rollbackCounter >= 0:

And now, after hours, and typing ONE CHARACTER it works as intended.

anon so cool so see your game coming along. If I could suggest something it'd be to think about the colors: right now the player kind of blends with the environment, at least to me. I'd try either giving the sprites an outline like with those coins, or making it so the scenario is made of low contrast colors while the entities (player, enemies, etc) are more high contrast colors
>Noice, looks good so far. Do you have any specific movesets/weakpoints in mind?
oh hell yeah! his weakpoint is the head, which you can hit at any time as long as it's on reach. The player can attack while jumping and also has an attack skill that's two upward slashes (webm)
>>737109469
fucking nice even more so considering that's Game Maker

>Z-targeting
not exactly like that. game's designed so you can comfortably fight against multiple enemies at once Dragon's Dogma style. There's a little bit of soft-lock each time you attack to help players using KB+M, and you can hard-lock onto an enemy by raising the shield which allows you to strafe around it while defending. I guess that's Z-targering in some way haha

it's a fantasy medieval game so I'm going with the usual fantasy medieval spells. I know it's "generic" but that's the point, I want to make a "generic" fantasy game like Dragon's Dogma, Dragon's Crown or Tower of Doom / Shadow Over Mystara. Love that shit.

back to doing 3D animations.
Anyone else here make use of the NLA editor?
If so, how granular do you make your animation "segments"? Is it worth the effort to say, build up a "base" animation, then modify with different head nods or breathing motions overlaid in the NLA editor for multiple variant animations?

>>737130517
>You can't beat bg2
Good thing it's a completely different game in gameplay and tone then
>why copy it
Because DnD's spell list is like the pokédex: so fucking long even an alien who has never seen either would have a hard time making something that wouldn't feel derivative nor be utter shit.
If the choice is making something that look like DnD's most overused spells, or making something that look like it's out of some obscure DnD Slovakia-only class supplement that doesn't even have a publication history available online, we both know which one will lead to the most memorable game.

>>737130803
It's anything but generic. Do you know what that means? Generic would he

It's an issue I need to tackle eventually. The current state is that in the space suit body turns where the head turns, if you turn by looking over your shoulder for example it fucks up orientation, doing a first person somersault is much more nauseating virtually than in real life. Playing itself it's quite engaging as you're automatically adjusting the with tiny counter-rolls, but I bet it's really jarring to look at.

>>737131914
>It's anything but generic. Do you know what that means?
well way I see it when it comes to fantasy, there's nothing more generic than a fireball or a lighting bolt. Do you think otherwise? Something non-generic in that setting would be, I dunno, vodoo stuff maybe, or cosmic stuff. But that's just how I see it
>Why not have a spell smith system?
could be cool but might be a constrain later on. I'd rather make all spells from scratch, specially since they aren't all that complicated, just some particle effects, a mesh here and there and some AOE for the damage (I already have elemental damage types)
but yeah when it comes to the spells that'll be in the game they are going the be the usual stuff that everyone's able to recognize like that anon pointed out

Not exciting to look at, but I finally bit the bullet and rewrote my dialog / interaction system.

Original version was written when I was still coming to grips with how the engine worked, and ended up with the bulk of the code on the dialog actors themselves.

Moved all that code over to the player character, and it's reduced operational load by a huge amount.

Each instance of the dialog actor is now using ~300 kb less memory per instance, and since the collider checker is now on the player pawn, it's reducing collision checks by a huge amount too (not smart enough yet to analyze the cpu load differential for that, I just know it's much smaller).

Just need to finish cleaning the code transfer over, re-parent a few child classes, and then it's over to re-modelling a boss.

I spent the past 16 months building up my game dev skills from scratch with a friend. Or at least that was the plan. My friend has said he's wanted to make a game this whole time, but he's putting in 10% of the effort that I am and honestly I'm pissed about it. Pissed because we could easily make something cool together if he got off his lazy ass, but he just keeps bringing up "muh depression" and when I recommend him games to play to get inspired he just goes "the encounter rate is too high :(((". And then he just goes back to drinking. Fuck man. Idk why it makes me mad. Its like, don't you know you don't have to be this way? If you put in the effort every day, by this time next year you could actually have a fucking game. Now I'm the only one with a game

Thanks! That's completely fair. Blue-green on green doesn't exactly pop. Graphics will get a second pass as my skills improve, but I may just swap the colors on the main man for now. I'm trying to stick to a small set color palette to simplify the art process.

Some people just can't operate long term. The thought of doing a little bit per day eventually adding up just doesn't seem real to them. And it's not depression, I'm fucking depressed and have known plenty of depressed people who can still make stuff. It's not that your friend is stupid (I don't know) but I think you have to see the results of being able to make yourself learn something before you believe you can do it again and consistently no matter the skill. And with a lot of quick hits of feel-good from video games or drinking competing for attention, a lot of people just don't take the opportunity to make it happen the first time. It's frustrating, I know, I've been around plenty of people who talk and talk and talk about things they want to do and suddenly ten years have passed and they've not taken any appreciable steps.

Howdy, been a while.
Let's run through my changes so far. Took breaks in between so not much has been done with animations and attacks or bosses yet, but more to come soon.
-->Overhauls<--
>Dialogue has been moved from a widget with text boxes to a data table and an actor component that triggers all necessary dialogue for all npcs. New quest and dialogue tags have been added to allow different text strings to appear in any order for better modulation and for quest requirement checks.
>Boss dialogue has also been overhauled to automatically show text in a fixed way based on internal timers via a boss dialogue data table.
>enemy spawns have been reworked to have only required delays for random spawning and via a new empty actor that increased performance in the first area. More skeletons can be spawned this way.
---
>all item chests have been consolidated to one blueprint with an enumerator deciding the type, and a data table for loot.
---
>Enemies have their own combat component for their ai system incorporated into their behavior trees rather than just manual entries. Enemies can target, strafe, change the type of attack based on distance, health, and more.

-->Updates<--
>The game now has world persistence, saving retains the following: chests, item drops, item spawns, enemy drops, quest progression, inital quest, and eventually enemy dead depending on the circumstance.
>new steel armor to replace the old one
>new swords to replace older ones
>font has been updated for all except the main inventory widget and death menu.
>certain enemies will now only attack when damaged and will turn around to face the player more smoothly when attacked from behind.
>widget parents now handle button focus to remove delays and allow a one size fits all approach to computer performance. This stops a bug where certain children widgets wont load due to null values from not detecting the player controller in time.
---
>Big Update
>Game Studio LLC has been made.

what should I do?
>NPC can go to do a chore/task
>sometimes that chore can require an item that the NPC will pickup/hold while doing the chore
>player can take the item away, or replace it with a different item
so I've decided already, that if the player replaces it with a different item of the same category, that the NPC would continue the task but it'll go wrong and cause them to get angry.

I'm stuck on deciding between these two for if the player steals the item used in the chore:
>NPC goes looking around for the item
vs
>NPC will stop doing the chore/task, and will move on from it

turns out that a system for flat, massive stationary terrain can be a bad fit when used for lumpy, tiny movable objects, so I had to completely remake the asteroids.
It sucks that I now have to maintain two systems instead of one but It was worth the effort because now you can dig through moving asteroids just as well as digging the normal solid ground.


Did you know that gold is essentially worthless since there are gorillions of tons of it floating around in space, for free?

I know I have been absent from updating for a while. I did a few updates in December and January, got stuck on world persistence for a few weeks in february and march.
But now npcs can tell what items you have and will change their dialogue accordingly.
Here is a rough draft off the boss dialogue triggers now, it still needs polish, the font needs an update, but there are no more manual hard delays chained together, the skeletons spawn smooth just laggy for stress testing volume.

Didn't low poly devs do more like create a decent shape and detail the individual toes through textures?

>Some people just can't operate long term. The thought of doing a little bit per day eventually adding up just doesn't seem real to them.
Yeah. I think the word "glass ceiling" is appropriate here.
If every day you wake up and bump your head against the glass ceiling, then one day that ceiling is going to shatter and dreams that used to be "impossible" will happen right in front of you. It doesn't matter if day 1 or day 3 or day 7 or day 28 is unproductive. So long as you keep doing it every single day, eventually it has to give. And once you realize that, you've won the mental battle.

I like men. How could I integrate this into my game?

>>737146357
Add men to the game.

>>737145183
Did you use reference?
The two outer toes are shorter than the two middle ones. Other than that, seems fine. Just move onto something else

Finished giving idle animations and new bits to every single NPC on every single station, plus added new conversations and dialogue for various party members.

Going through my actual task list the only remaining two blockers are the rest of multiplayer's bits (which is just NPC sync and its campaign) and voice acting, and then it's time for the 1.0 release, at least in beta.

Does anyone want to make an h-game together?
Genuinely asking.

I took a 6 month break in 2023-2024 as my brain was stuck on some fundamentals of ue5 I didnt understand. Then I took a deep breath and started over after having an ah ha moment and things are looking vastly better. It can be tough finding the motivation but we got this

you would be more productive working in your wage cage for an extra four hours a day and sending that overtime money to a real game studio where people with talent can use your money to make good games

The whole "creative indie" thing is just a meme and hasn't been true for several years now.

>>737149310
That kind of bug mindset is so prevalent among inferiors that I can't tell if you're a drive-by troll or just plain retarded. Either way, your parents have my pity.

>>737149412
Dont worry anon you got this. I use Ludus. It is pretty stupid though I have to tell it to never make changes just help me through issues by explaining things to mme.but it has given me some pretty cool mechanics in my game.

I only post the truth. Every screenshot and webm in this thread is of complete dogshit that you could not pay me to play. We have standards on 4chan. Go back to tumblr where you belong.

I have a bunch of these renders that are supposed to represent art pieces found on Frydar Island. One of these days I'm going to sit down, paint them, and turn them into textures.

>Use AI to help coding for me

I have learnt not to prompt AI to tell me what to do, because every time I start a new conversation, it starts doing a new thing, despite me giving it a handoff document from the previous conversation.
