I create two points in space, attach them to the sword model, and run a script in a separate gameobject that's attached to the player, acting as a command center so to speak. Take a look if you want.

I’m trying to get enemies to react to hits properly in a way that works correctly.

My systems are driven mostly by the animation with root motion rather than script, but things like launchers and knockback are handled by applying new vectors to the movement handler component.
I use the playables API to play flinch animations directly, and this can restrict what actions can and can't be activated for the duration of the clip. So it's more like the animation system can play one thing at a time and restrict other animation actions from being performed while active rather than a more complex FSM.
For movement and juggling, I never really designed my game around juggling, but the launch is defined by setting the aerial velocity at the start and setting a duration for ground snapping and gravity to be disabled. Knockback works a little differently with just the distance and duration and an easing type, but it's more precise to understand than the velocity approach. I'd probably try to unify these if I were to implement these in a next game, though.

Do druggies complain that they don't have the $100 needed to buy their drugs? No. They don't. They do what it takes to get their money. Don't have a worse work ethic than druggies, anon. Put in the work to make that game.

game development is not fun

>>563492669
yea but the drugs are good, my game is not

>>563492708
checking how many games you sold today is a dopamine hit which counts as fun in 202X

>>563491812
personally i'd let the movement code only care about movement and applying whatever vector is added onto it, if you can refactor that out everything else should get a bit easier to deal with
the earlier webm feels bad because the movement snaps up almost instantly and the bird doesn't transition into the air state immediately, so the grounded flinch animation just looks wrong when played in the air.
for juggling, you probably don't want every attack to be launching, so check if the enemy is grounded before applying any upward movement. (you may need to rewrite your own movement component/modify someone else's to get more control over this)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xHE3ypX96U
snappiness in reaction animations is mostly about this, but i've also found that it's just fine to play the animation immediately without the blending part as long as there's a tiny bit of animation going from standing normal pose to impact pose (around 5-10f at 60fps at most)

>>563492398
>>563492735

ultimately you dont know how the medication would effect you
could be terrible or good

i think nodev has nothing to do with psychology or lack of ideas or anything like that.
it's lack of good diet and exercise.
some weeks ago i watched some of thomas brushes first vids and he basically said his life changed when he started weightlifting.
and i noticed that recently i really had a shitty diet and i got really nothing done anymore and just feel like shit all the time.
i assume a healthy body just wants to do stuff and a sick body just wants to consume stuff.

It looks really cool to me. I like the art style and character design. I thought the crane game looked a bit stiff and rough at first; but then I realised that it's a puzzle / mini-game within a different game I think its appropriate.

>>563422037
You can't judge too much off just some swinging against boxes; but this is the list:

Hitstop: When an attack collides (enemy to player, player to object, etc) freeze both objects in time for roughly the same amount of time; with long freezes for bigger hits.

Reaction: Make enemies and players perform reaction animations when hit. Bonus points if the first frame is mid-reaction to better sell the Hitstop.

Wind-up: Swings should follow animation fundamentals, obvious wind up and springing of knees, arms, before throwing out exagurated swings that come out quick.

Wind-down: Spend a half-second after an attack in the last pose of the attack; combined with the wind-up and hit-stop it should help "sell" that an attack is heavy and would hurt; and that your swords or what have-you have weight.

Animation blending: Use whatever is at your disposal to tween and blend between animations; but feel free to break your own naturalistic rules to "sell" a rapid hit, block or reaction. Watch a Street Fighter match, see how when someone gets knocked into the air they basically snap from grounded stance to a completely helpless in-air animation after the Hit-stop. Its not realistic but it looks cool as fuck and is readable.

Hitboxes: This will be case-by-case, but I made an animation system that turns hit-boxes on and off mid swing. It looks like a series of steps.
Frame 0 - Animation starts.
Frame 0 - Stun / lock the player movement.
Frame 45 - Super-armour activates.
Frame 48 - Check for Heavy-attack (held button)
Frame 85 - Hitboxes activate
Frame 85 - Weapon Trail activate.
Frame 120 - Everything deactivates.
Frame 160 - Check for combo.
Frame 190 - Release stun / player movement.

"Of course, my wrists are interpolating based on shortest-route information; but if I write dead-keyframes to the right of the timeline the interpolation will respect the rotation without any visible artefacting to the player."

And then I did a test, got a false positive, spent two hours doing something dumb before realising it was a bad and dumb idea for big fuck-heads so I tucked the character's elbows in a bit and solved my problem.

what have you been thinking when you got into gamedev?
iirc i just wanted to see how it works. i had absolutely no thoughts about money or anything like that. mostly i just liked coding.
the thought that i have to make money with it kicked in later cause i literally can't do anything else.

>hmm today i will listen to GDC talks to inspire me while i dev
>all the new videos are just DEI PR nonsense

If they were good they wouldn't need a youtbe channel.

if you shouldn't make an engine cause there are already many engines around, does that also mean you shouldn't make a game cause there are many games around?

>>563514837
in the pre-unity-indie-nudev era, game development still had a reputation of being among the dark arts of programming. this made it attractive to me, because i need to be good at everything, and understand every difficult subject, or i feel bad.

>>563515603
most engines and games suck real bad

>>563515603
>>563515710
The off the shelf game engines make the easy stuff easy and the hard stuff harder.

Making your own engine front loads the pain so that you understand everything.

when you are an enginedev you don't have to create a single art asset

>the non-gamers:

Fuck, I feel like this is the last year the last train to jump on gamedev before a gigantic wave of normies and software engineers, who got fired because of AI, start releasing shitloads of games on Steam and Itch

>>563516889
why does this make me think of a sonnenrad

>>563492986
So is refactoring it into a state thing a waste of time

>>563514837
But statistically speaking you cent even dev

>>563484069
is this randomly generated?

>>563517412
That's true. My mom showed me a game she vibecoded and it wasn't terrible, it had a real gameloop, progression etc

>>563519003
Those are good, but the problem comes more from the enemy’s fundamental responses to being struck. So is refactoring the entire thing into a more explicit state machine a waste of time or not?

>>563519448
it's a waste of effort because right now the most important thing is the camera and the enemies spacing
even if the attacks were feeling good, the camera would have everyone giving feedback saying similar things, it's also the lowest development cost for the highest improvement right now, in other words, the easiest thing for you to make things feel vastly improved

>>563519597
I greatly disagree. There’s no point in “Feel” improvements if the fundamental enemy response is incorrect.
You’re asking me to build the walls before the floor is solid

the answer to "should i state machine??" is often yes

>>563519734
then I'm only going to try to frame this differently for you once more
the movement in those games is based off of the camera, "forwards" is towards the enemy
right now, your enemy is almost always to the side of the character which looks like it feels extremely unpleasant for the player
additionally, the enemy flying through the player rotating the camera all over is dictating the players movement constantly
all of this is easily improved by fixing the camera and enemy spacing, I'm not going to try to make you do this any further though, make your game however

>>563519734
NTA but it's not a black and white issue, the animations, controls and camera absolutely influence how a game feels to play

>>563482032
Progress
Added more hints on how to operate main menu typewriter after qa tester was stuck for 10 minutes before he gave up trying.

>>563520059
That’s just it. Feeling isn’t my priority, it’s making it fundamentally work, thus giving me an opening to really start making it feel good

>>563520316
Alright as long as you're 100% sure what you want and how it will work

>>563520026
You’re correct. But that isn’t going to be fixed through a camera alteration. There needs to be a fundamental change in how enemies respond to getting struck

Am I ngmi if my "vision" is just three games stapled together?

>>563520721
Every game on your list is a mash of 3 other games, most devs today don't bother with 2

>>563520721
You're NGMI not because of a lack of vision, but because of a lack of conviction in your vision. No one who's so insecure that they have to come to cry on an anonymous basket weaving forum to seek validation before building a prototype will ever make it.

yes, the numbers represent the possible states, once a position is defined, it "collapses" those around it depending of what can be next to it and so on

crowbcatcunt uploaded a new resident evil 4 video today, where he explained in a much clearer (for the normalcattle) way why the OG resident evil 4 is souful and why the remake is soulless. and yet, in the comments, an enormous amount of normalcattle just simply dismiss his video and just say "da remake is good duh" without even watching it.
how is this related to /agdg/ you may ask? well i've seen a bunch of anons (or it was a single anon but whatever) constantly complaining that they don't understand the current market. well thanks to that video i realized why. these same people are the only ones buying games on steam. basically, "gamecattle" is just "normalcattle" who are shallow and don't care for games in a meaningful way. your understanding of and relationship with games is not shallow enough to make it. it's not surprising that neurodivergents (which most of this thread is) struggles to comprehend the normalfag mindset. the two latest /agdg/ successes, nuns and guns and wasteland bites start to make a lot more sense as to why they succeeded when you analyze them through a shallow mindset of a normalfag.

>>563523981
the bottom two do a lot of heavy lifting. without ad hominem that smug little anime shit would be closer to the ground thus easier to smack with my cock

im gonna not make a game because i never finish any of my projects but anyway here is my game, i just started.

Persistent mech war sandbox. No matches, no wipes, no fairness.

Players deploy into a massive always-online battlefield, scavenging resources, fighting over territory, and extracting what they can before getting wiped. Everything is player-driven—economy, conflict, and faction control.

Mechs aren’t stat sticks. They’re built like actual machines. Weight, power, heat, recoil, and terrain all matter. A multi-limbed walker can carry more but is harder to control. A humanoid frame is flexible but fragile. Every build is a tradeoff.

Progression comes from salvaging, crafting, and engineering better systems. Power isn’t given—it’s built.

Factions compete in a constant war. Reputation tracks your actions. Strong players become targets. Weak players become scrap. Top players rise as “Legends” and influence faction objectives, shaping where battles happen across the map.

No safe meta. No permanent advantage. If you get too strong, the game pushes back.

>>563525015
>what's your marketing strategy? that's all that matters, changing your game won't do much past a certain point
I don't have any. I just need to put the game for sale on Steam, I don't need to actually get any sales.

You have to understand that the vast majority of players are not invested enough in the medium itself.
The original fans from psx era are now in their forties, aka u play games some nights for an hour or two. Work exist, family (hopefully) exists.
Remember also that most ppl don't even finish games at all.
You shoot some zombies, you see the pretty gfx and animations and you are content.
This is the same lens you can see re8 and 9 success, and also new mh.
Capcom has also found what I could call the Nintendo enshittification formula for maximum sales. You take your historic ip, make a new game with a fancy front, tone down rough edges so people have some fun till they move on (who cares if they complete that game or not, let alone playing it again or ng+), so you can leave a good memory of that bland experience and be ready to buy a new chapter in a few years.

REfags are just insanely sensitive to any criticism partially because the nu-RE fandom has so many gays and women in it.
Other remakes don't get the cult level worship that the RE remakes get. Like no one would blink an eye if you said the Demons souls remake was soulless. No one cared when he said the Dead Rising remake was soulless.

you're focusing on the wrong thing here. it's not about resident evil at all. it's the fact that "people" are willing to excuse slop games at all ever.
the point is that it doesn't matter if your game is well designed, well thought out, made with soul. none of that shit matters. all you have to think about is how to make sure your game is "good enough" for 2 hours and what will make your game go viral on social media. in 2026 that's really all that matters for an indie dev.

cakes can have two flavours and I have 5 flavours but I dont want 25 choices so customers can request one flavour of the two
for example if they ask for chocolate you can give it a strawberry and chocolate one and its gonna be fine

the issue is the sprites, how do I indicate the player that one flavour can be whatever they want?
also the position of the flavour doesnt matter either

This is the future of indiedev, or dev in general. It's creating systems that create instead of creating the things by hand which is impossibly long. Not only it saves time but it can then be plugged in to the player and then they can create as well. It's the basis of Tiny Glade indie game which sold 500 000 on Steam in 2 weeks.
