Getting detected by everyone on the map at once would suck massively, this is what I had in mind:

>Enemy A sees player, gets aggro'd, chases player

>Enemy B doesn't see player, but sees aggro'd enemy A, and starts following A's footsteps to join the chase

In the end they will either both attack the player together, or lose the player and wander around looking for him. Meanwhile behind a tree there's another enemy C who didn't see any action at all and remains clueless.

Why is the mouse motion choppy in Godot? I'm using it to do an FPS camera and its all shit.

>>15119160

Sounding a little too lol so randumb XD there.

I liked it better when the tone of your shitposting was closer to incomprehensible babbling.

>>15119187

real nice cash register model in that video. wonder if I can use source models? might try that.

Are you going to try for demo day? twin stick games are some of my favorites. Have you played Bastion? will you have a roll or side-step dodge?

>>15119212

Might be easier to model your own register, considering that you'll probably want moving parts in it and AFAIK the source model is just a solid prop.

There's jumping already in the game which can be used for avoiding ground enemies or dodging bullets (movement speed when jumping is greater but strafing in mid-air is harder). I have a few ideas about giving the player some magical abilities, some of which could be used for dodging too. I haven't played Bastion but I know of it. I want to release something for a demo day eventually, but I don't know if I'll have anything worthwhile this time around. Maybe in autumn.

>>15119119

Have the ability to shoot children.

>>15119189

oh no no random 0. combat yet in so after then

>>15119863

Maybe model one sugar packet, then copy/paste to fill the box?

>>15119863

What if the store gets robbed?

>>15119863

dude, make it that night shift themed horror game anons sometimes talk about. or would that be too similar to FNAF?

>>15120151

different collider

>>15120165

I think a capsule would do just fine if it didn't fucking start rolling on it's corner instead of falling down like a normal fucking log.

A cylinder would do just the same. The issue is something else which I don't know what it is

>>15120184

Is that center of mass correct? A long cylinder with a center of mass weighted to one end will tend to stand up on that end.

>>15120213

hopefully that's the problem. I've assumed that the center of mass would automatically be the center of the collider, not the object pivot

>>15120251

it's third person when shooting form the hip, it's first person when actually aiming to shoot.

problem solved

Is there decent money to be made in updating mods to be compatible with the latest versions of MC?

>>15120327

Pretty sure popular mod makers keep their own shit up to date. On the other hand, there are mods, like EE, that were cool, then lost their way for one reason or another. I'm sure there could be some audience for reviving those older mods.

>>15119950

Night shift was mentioned and linked in the last thread. Night Shift is very different to FNAF.

>>15120327

AutismCraft? Don't think there's any money to be made there considering most of its players are still kids, who usually don't donate to content creators.

And yet 12-16 year old kids manage to afford to commission custom fursuits for thousands of dollars. They get money somehow.

>>3rd Person

>+Get to see the big tiddy anime protag, thus making things like alternate and potentially quite alluring costumes for her.

>>1st Person

Make your protag's visble when the player looks down. And have mirrors somewhere.

>>15120251

Third person cameras are harder to implement properly and third person shootan has a bad reputation these days. If you do go down that route, I recommend watching vid related for some advice on getting the camera right.

>>15119950

I kept that link to the night shift wiki and started reading. Lots of depth already developed there but I'm not so sure it all is interesting to me. Might try using it, maybe not. A horror game with a surreal feel could be fun to do though.

Someone mentioned Armory in the last thread and I've been checking it out. I think I'll prototype using it and see if I hit any big roadblocks.

>>15120367

That's strange. maybe Unity has some shadow edge smoothing that struggles when the view camera is closely aligned to the frustum of the light casting the shadow?

>>15120251

>>15120515

>3rd person doesn't encourage the slower type of gameplay I'm thinking about like 1st person does

First person is probably better for slower gameplay. Cover shooters suck in general so unless you're willing to go fast-ish and have neat movement options which could be fun even if it's straying from Stalker quite a ways, I'd stick to first person for this.

>>15120588

>closely aligned to the frustum of the light casting the shadow

maybe, the light is really perfectly top down and the angle permission for the camera is -90 to 90. I will check that later by changing the light angle

>>15120114

>Is it still acceptable

Dark souls, kingdom come deliverance and MHWorld all have glaring clipping problems, and nobody fucking cares.

>>15119281

wasn't able to find a nice front-view cigarette rack to crop a texture from. have to go in and add them to an atlas by hand. Kind of a big job but it's going to take up a lot of screen space and be in view often, so have to do it.

>>15121266

>Dark souls, kingdom come deliverance and MHWorld all have glaring clipping problems, and nobody fucking cares.

I care a lot

Where are the primary bottlenecks/inefficiencies in game/simulation engines today? (e.g. Linear algebra transformations on vertices, swap chain management, Objects overhead, etc…)

What can I do with new and modern technology that other engines can't because of they're stuck with old tech?

>>15123141

higher polycount because of better gpus and more threads because more cores

>>15123141

What timescale? If you go back far enough people were transforming vertexes on the cpu

>>15123274

You mean I shouldnt be calling Matrix2D.TransformPoint on all my Vector2f objects and building the vertex array myself every frame? How else would I do it?

>>15123281

Is this a joke? I'm autistic and can't tell

>>15123274

Of the popular engines today (not necessarily a timescale) that have built on top of old engines, what could be improved if one were to make an engine from scratch?

Like any complicated software, it just becomes more bloated with workarounds that all have to exist in some inefficient system. There has to be some benefit of designing everything from scratch and taking into account modern methodologies for doing certain things.

>>15123141

The old tech bottlenecks really don't exist anymore. We had a bit of a leap in graphics when render/feedback buffers rolled around, but aside from making fugly post processing effects, the only thing that really did was make some graphics techniques significantly cheaper to implement as deferred rendering just scales better for many things than forward rendering. And cool particle systems too, which really don't get used often anyway.

We did get:

>More processing power, both in faster CPU's, CPU pipelining and multithreading (which isn't use for gameplay since vidya isn't processing power bottlenecked.)

>More system RAM. Leaving the 32bit era behind meant we could finally end up in "we have more memory than we'll ever use" territory. Unfortunately, only Minecraft has ever had a meaningful use for memory.

>More system memory. We can now put even bigger textures in our games since that is the only thing we can waste memory with.

>More parallel processing power, allowing for more complex shading techniques or higher resolutions.

>More video RAM. So basically, more polys and higher res textures.

But all that ends up doing is make stuff run faster on the virtue of hardware being faster. With the exception of multithreading, they're not different ways of approaching problems. And multithreading is generally only used for heavy lifting work like audio or graphics-related work the GPU is bad at, like calculating bone matrices. It's not really worth using it for gameplay, as there really isn't any technology "just around the corner" if you just had that bit of extra processing power.

On that note, modern engines actually have code for different API's, and pick the best API at runtime. If your GPU driver supports Vulkan, then there's a good chance it'll use Vulkan to render objects, despite the fact that it can run on d3d9 hardware too. They're not really "stuck" with old tech. It's actually pretty easy to get your compiler to generate code for different processor features (e.g. SSE, AVX) into the same executable, and having the executable pick the right code at runtime. You get the best of both worlds and all you had to pay was some memory, which is in abundance these days.

Sorry to disappoint you, but hardware restraints are kinda a thing of the past. Right now, hardware is only improving to keep up with Gates' law, which states that software becomes 50% less efficient every 18 months to negate any benefits from Moore's law. It's especially disappointing when you realize most shitty console ports run like shit purely because of shit coding, and not because the game in question is actually complex enough to justify it.

>>15123582

But ghosts are already dead. If you kill them, does that mean they're double dead?

>>15123595

They're alive again

>>15123602

But then they're not ghosts anymore.

>>15122865

did you stop playing because of it?

If you didn't, you don't care enough to matter

>>15123920

Yes, actually, I quit the entire DS series after getting backstabbed through a wall

>>15123932

that's a gameplay problem, not a clothing clipping problem.

Unless it's the position of the clothing that decides if it's a backstab, rather than the position of the characters and lag

>>15123935

guess you're right

>>15120251

Stop making a fetish game. If you want to do a survival game then make it a survival game. Don't make a -4 strength shit show because you want anime titties.

There's a place for anime titties and there's a place for Stalking. The two do not mix together. You can't do spooky survival game if every time you bend over to pick up an item you're gone some anime minge in your face.

>>15123141

From what I've gathered, the primary bottlenecks these days are usually related to CPU cache usage, multithreading, and feeding the GPU effectively.

>>15124943

but can you shoot all the way through the watermelons?

>>15125082

>Tone like stalker

Enjoy your failed game that no one pays attention to because you have no idea WTF you're doing theme wise and your response to feedback is just to double down on your cartoons.

>>15125271

your picture is literally what you're doing.

but hey, go make half a shitty anime girl game to appeal to /v/. It'll die like all the others and no one will care.

>>15125271

If you're going to use a quote by someone who has actually done something meaningful in their lives to backup what you're saying you shouldn't use a fake one. You should also make sure it doesn't criticize exactly what you're doing down to the letter and prove the other persons point.

>>15125286

TBH his game will probably do well for the same reason Yandre-devs game that isn't even 10% finished did well.

>>15124943

How are you doing this? Are you rebuilding the mesh or applying decals with shader fuckery?

>>15125321

Pandering to retarded redditors?

>>15125340

Honesty, that's a huge potential customer base. Probably a good business move.

>>15125340

Lofty concept that promises you your wildest dreams, has a kawaii anime girl aesthetic, and set up in such a way that it lets the audience build unreasonable expectations and get excited

>>15125340

We can't pass the blame onto reddit. Yandre-dev had a following here, and people who could obviously see how full of shit he was got banned for calling it out. Even after the dude sperged out and left for reddit there where still people on this board hoping he'd come back for a year at least. I just don't get how cartoon girls cause weebs to completely shut their brain off.

>>15125356

But it's not even that. His concept is "I drew over something in MS paint using 2 entirely different genres"

>>15125356

so basically pandering to retarded redditors?

>>15125363

>Yandre-dev had a following here

And on 4cuck and on reddit, I know I said reddit twice, basically and he knew which were the people who would eat up his shit for the longest time and turned his back on the others.

Unlike reddit this place told him their honest opinions and criticism.

>>15125378

You DO know that Yandev ended up too thin-skinned for even Reddit, and migrated to his own private Discord server, right?

>>15125383

>although later apologized

That people were surprised by it leaves me gobsmacked every time when thinking back on Anton & Coolpecker.

Of course Mark would've been the very first one to jump onto someone else's success if he could shove himself into it, just like why he owns /v/.

>>15125391

>You DO know that Yandev ended up too thin-skinned for even Reddit, and migrated to his own private Discord server, right?

I don't keep up with his shenanigans, but I'm willing to be the majority of the people in the shitcord and his patreon are still redditors, however much that is today.

>>15124203

>>15125134

>anons always talk about how they want animu STALKER and cute grill shooters

>one anon starts to work on one

<OY VEY THIS IS TERRIBLE NO ONE WANTS THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING

>>15125402

>when thinking back on Anton & Coolpecker

A&CP is still being worked on, so I'm not sure what you're even trying to say here.

>>15125402

>I'm willing to be the majority of the people in the shitcord and his patreon are still redditors, however much that is today.

Honestly, I don't know. I've noticed there's a very specific type of fan. Someone who's totally fucking blind to everything and worship their e-celeb like a fucking god. Just think about TGWTG/Channel Awesome or anyone who produces nothing yet obtains a rabid fanbase. Even reddit isn't enough of an echo chamber for those people.

>>15125429

IDK anon. The way you talk kinda reminds me of Rust-dev, although more mild.

>>15125429

>But I've been fully honest about the concept and I don't think it's particularly lofty

I mean, for anons in here. Don't forget the "A" in /agdg/ stands for amateur. If you haven't made a game before, trying to copy an A-AAA tier game is simply too much for a 1MA to go about, unless you're really autistic about it. Sooner or later though, most people burn out on even simple projects

>>15125378

Bit of a tangent, but-

I think unwarranted criticism is something that is difficult to receive. It can be extremely frustrating when someone offers you critique on something you've thought about for ages and already have made a decision, or flaws you disagree with something you're proud of, or it's just insulting.

One time someone asked me if all the art in my game was just "placeholder". What I'm trying to say is that it can be hard to take honest criticism and more often than not it's not very useful criticism in the first place. People more thin skinned get upset about it all the time. And it's definitely fucking stupid to get upset about it, but it's not hard to see why someone would. I think it's important to remember that criticism comes from good intent, and even if it's annoying, you gotta remember that.

>>15125486

>It can be extremely frustrating when someone offers you critique on something you've thought about for ages and already have made a decision, or flaws you disagree with something you're proud of, or it's just insulting.

While that is of course true enough, remember YanDev's "parting" message where he says shit like "you could've had someone who's making a game that panders to your wishes" and this kind of shit.

He probably never went in with the intent to listen and only to receive praise, which is exactly what he found on reddit at the time he left, saying shit like ">go to /v/ and get yelled at, >go to reddit and people suck your dick".

And now he can't even bear being on that fucking site anymore.

>>15125486

That's mainly the reason why I don't really post unless I'm done with something, and have looked it over several times to be sure that I actually like it.

>>15125354

Pandering to Reddit usually ends like Tribes: Ascend, where the devs make a couple changes to appease the Redditors' shit taste and usually killing the game's draw for everyone else in the process. Redditors are sheep of the worst kind so they'll buy your game if it's popular elsewhere, not because you shill it to them or take their (usually awful) feedback.

>>15125391

>>15125402

Apparently Yandev is too cucked for his own Discord server now and bans random people for fear they're secretly disagreeing with him.

>>15125528

All you have to do is google "yandere dev discord" and let the laughs commence

>C# bindings for ogre lets you create models procedurally

>not remove them again, though

Well just remember that Gamergate is such a bogeyman to perpetual victims, that it lives rent free inside their head for months, years after the fact

>>15125429

You acted exactly like a retard you claim you aren't acting like.

You're posting anime reaction images.

You're so invested in this game idea you couldn't even be bothered to do proper concept art. "my game isn't going to be like the concept art I made" then you didn't make concept art!

>>15125410

What people say they want and what they actually want rarely lines up. Stalker and anime girls are clashing objects, you cannot put them together.

>My game concept is Stalker's beach episode. You go to the beach and get shy about wearing a bikini while raiding underground labs full of mutants.

>>15125614

>My game concept is Stalker's beach episode

I'm just picturing faceless anime girls in radsuit helmets and bikinis full of the standard anime tropes and playing both genres completely honest and straight at the same time and I find it hilarious

>>15125609

I don't think the people at the top are as traumatized as they let on. They just act that way to validate their patreon bucks to the idiot following them, who are the only ones who buy into that shit.

>>15125877

Liking anime doesn't make you a weeb. Weebs are pathetic losers who build their life around anime. They're the type of people who like moe blob shows because they feel part of the moe blob's community. No one else watches that shit because it's basically a quagmire of pedophilia and eternal manchildren who want to surrender to cartoons rather than building a life outside of them.

>>15125922

that's quite a lot of psychological baggage and probably some projecting too, with not much of an argument. You think it's a bad idea because it combines two contrasting elements, one of which you dislike. Alright, we got it. Move along unless you have something useful to add to your essentially indefensible argument. "It doesn't appeal to me therefore it WONT work" isn't a real argument.

>>15125877

There's a fine line between quality anime and weebshit.

>>15125999

>>15125999

>I only watch mature anime for mature people like myself

>>15125820

I don't have a problem with you making a Girls Last Tour game, that anime is peak comfy, but if that is the kind of game you're making then calling it anime STALKER isn't describing your game very well. While STALKER can be comfy, it's also a kind of brutally realistic. While the setting itself isn't real, with mutants, artifacts, and anomalies, the peoples' and world's reaction to it treated with a level of realism and plausibility. Guns jam, factions war with each-other, bullets kill things quickly. Nothing is treated as fantastical, and the one fantastical element that is there, the wish granting artifact at the end of the game, isn't actually a fantastical and just causes hallucinations.

If you were to put a girl into STALKER, and that girl was as competent and capable as all the men, it wouldn't fit. Even the strong men in STALKER are having trouble, the weak men are all dead. A woman wouldn't thrive in that setting like the Marked One, she would have to take a path that didn't see so much combat.

If you want to go "forget all that, I'm putting in a hyper-competent battle woman into the setting" that's fine, but if you're going to make it fit then your game simply cannot have the tone of STALKER and make sense.

If your game doesn't actually have the tone of STALKER that's fine, just say that it doesn't have the tone of STALKER. Instead say you're making a game with the tone of Girls Last Tour and the setting of STALKER. Problem solved.

I'm saying this because I want you to be able to accurately sell your game to people, not because I don't want you to make the game you are making. Keep making your dream game man.

I know, I fiddled with it a bit, but all the references I could find for it had the wooden rails at nice gradual curves, which was hard to do in a 32x32 space that had to be just so, especially on the pinch area. I decided to just simplify it to make it work

>>15127586

minecraft was a game for autists and it had sharp train turns

>>15127594

That was out of necessity though as Minecraft was built on a grid system and minecarts were added later.

>>15127599

There are mods for turbo autismo children that spread train tracks across multiple squares.

It was a design choice and it barely even matters.

>>15127586

I mean, you can do it any way you want. Lots of indiegarbage does not cares and do retarded tracks, e.g. Gungeon, Minekraft, or pixel mobileshit. But if you want to be less of a faggot then actually try to look how tracks look irl and do yours similar. I mean, Jesus Christ, those fucking T and M shaped intersections will haunt me in my nightmares, and I'm not even that autistic about trains.

>>15127647

>Armory

Wow. Now that's a game engine I've not heard of. Looks interesting through from what I can see. Keep us posted on what you think.

>>15127734

A little bit. Don't forget that the train rides on 2 rails. Two rails should turn, not one. Look how rails IRL intersect.

>>15127759

Yeah but I have to have the minecart sprite rotate immediately in the corner, and the rails are spaced out that way for a reason (other tile layers, eg wires). I don't have a lot of space to work with, like I said

>>15127762

Ah, I see now. My eyes kind of ignored the rail-square.

I don't really know how to improve the new version, so I guess it's ok.

What are some words you try on everything you encounter in a text adventure? So far I have look, examine, get, attack (and all the various permutations, punch, kick, kill, shoot, stab, etc.), insult, complement, and eat.

Yes, there will be a response if you go full nymphomaniac and try to have sex with everything, but it will be a single canned response for every item along the lines of "yes, I did anticipate you would try this, but no I'm not going to let you do it".

So, I'm working on a 2d sidescroller plays like a mega man zx advent type game i guess, or maby a metroid vania, mixed with a mario world type game. There is a system that lets you customize your load out for 3 selectable characters out of 8 total characters that are interchangeable in a stage and had equipment based on upgrades gained from a wold boss. Customizing a gun shot with an element for example from the world map for example, that has stage themes that are individual to each world.

Underwater world, ice/Arctic theme world, crayon world, tropical world, industrial steam world, things like that.

Each world has an over world map that links to a greater over world map like Mario world or whatnot.

Now my question is, if you were to make a mega man like game with themed worlds or zones, what kind of world and art style would you like to see.

Whether or not it fits into the rest of the theme doesn't really matter. I'm making this for fun and nothing else. And I would like to add a touch to add some fun that I have got from AGDG, the thread and the board, to the finished game. I'll post a link to a demo or alpha build eventually when I think its good enough to share with you guys, so if anyone sees this It's going to be named The Scarlet Scarf something subtitle. I dont know, regardless I'll post it on ADGD in its own thread whith its own thread or maby in the demo days thread, I dont know. So I hope it is enjoyable when I do post it, but I would still like to add something as a harkening to here if you know what I mean. You guys have been a wonderful inspiration to me, even if you are all faceless anons, trying to balance normal work and hobby work with normal life, and I am grateful.

Sorry if i have been rambling I have been drinking way too many paralyzesers tonight.

>>15128240

I hope you're half as good devving as you are at ideafagging.

>Now my question is, if you were to make a mega man like game with themed worlds or zones, what kind of world and art style would you like to see.

If you can't figure that our for yourself then maybe you're doing something wrong.

>>15128254

I'm not unfortunately, that's why it's a super long term project. But its for myself so it's not really important. That said, I already have what I want, I'm just wondering what I could put in that people from here would like to see in adittion, for say a bonus world or something like that. Perhaps I wasn't very conducive to my intentions.

>>15128236

>Kill (self), shit, piss.

Absolutely. I wouldn't dream of releasing a text adventure that doesn't let you commit suicide.

>Yahtzee did a funny thing with something similar in one of his point and clicks. If you keep examining doors in a house you'll get progressively sillier responses

That's a good idea. Not something I would do for every item but it would make sense to have it happen for some items. Because I'm making the engine for this game I'm wondering if I should create a dedicated system for that or hack it into my current system. The way I have things planed out I could have that feature without adding anything new, but a dedicated system would make my game-script files a lot easier to read. My game-script language is dangerously close to being Turing complete and is getting closer by the day.

>>15128259

I see. It just seemed like one of the classic ideaguy posts that never goes anywhere to me and I've seen a fair share of these. But you seem to know at least what you want in general.

Having a finger counter that goes down every time you poke something dangerous would be pretty funny.

<You see a creature of unimaginable horror. It's impossible to know exactly what it's form is as it is constantly undulating and turning itself inside out. Teeth and eyes come to the surface, the teeth scraping and cutting into the skin as they move across the surface of flesh while the eyes look on at the world wide and unblinking before pulling themselves back into the creature only to have new eyes and teeth come to the surface and do the same. At any one time there are 10 mouths, each screaming with a different voice in abject horror only to be swallowed up and muffled by the mass of skin, muscle, and fat while a new mouth appears somewhere else and begins screaming again. Tendrils of crippled, bony limbs with too many joints extend from the surface, grabbing and kicking violently yet uselessly at the air and room around it.

So how much did it change the FPS? Double it?

Dumb question incoming:

Is there a difference between a rig and armature in blender?

I'm pretty confused on the distinction.

>>15130978

>Are you the guy doing Vulkan from two threads ago?

Yep. I stopped mid-way through texture tutorial because I wanted to jerk off and eat some junk food all yesterday.

Working in C only slows things down quite a bit, primarily because most libraries for graphics are built with C++ and I need to think ahead about how to implement things to scale. I'm starting to understand why people use C++ now, obviously because of the simpler object oriented approach. I'm hoping pure C will pay off in the end though and be more suited to DOD later when I want to optimize. I still need to finish this tutorial then after that I'll read through the entire red book (G. Sellers), going over the entire development process again to build as sturdy a base as I can.

Currently, I'm thinking of ways to implement a system that efficiently interfaces with the shaders where every object can be broken down into smaller components. I'd appreciate any input from anyone. I've been thinking about using small voxels to make every object. I've also been thinking about using spheres for simpler collision detection (kind of like vid related). There could possibly be some logic to determine boundaries to draw smooth surfaces even though objects are comprised of spheres.

Another method would be to create objects normally then have an algorithm for every collision that determines response (e.g. Brick hit by object on flat surface by object traveling at X angle, force enough to break object in two, two new objects created with vertices modified to split location).

Speebot is a two-dimensional action-adventure game. The player controls the protagonist, Spee, from a top-down perspective. Gameplay is divided between outdoor traversal and dungeon crawls, entailing bump and jump combat, puzzle-solving, and navigating hazards. To advance the story, Spee must locate and defeat the members of the Circle of Nine—who act as boss enemies—and return their tokens to the Pillars of Nosgoth. Robots, animals, and a variety of seagulls inhabit the game world, whom the player can typically elect to kill outright, or alternatively wound in order to feed on their blood. As a vampire, Spee is required to consume the red blood of living creatures to replenish his health meter, which gradually drains over time, and diminishes more quickly if he sustains damage. When he casts spells or shapeshifts, he expends magic energy—this recovers in time, and can be replenished by drinking the blue blood of ghostly enemies. Conversely, robotic opponents relinquish harmful black blood, and demons and Jews yield green blood which poisons Spee, causing his health to deplete at a swifter rate.

Over the course of the main quest, Spee acquires many items and abilities, which facilitate increasingly nonlinear exploration. As he collects Umbrellas and Jetpacks, Spee's maximum jump and float capacity rises. By drinking from blood fountains, he receives jump upgrades, faster magic regeneration, and immunity to weather effects. Weapons include iron and fire-elemental claws, a spiked mace, twin wheels, and the Soul Reaver, a two-handed flamberge. Suits of iron, bone, chaos, flesh, and wraith armor feature, and each combination of equipment has advantages and drawbacks. Spells, in the form of magical tarot cards, are used in both strategic and practical contexts, their functions ranging from summoning artificial light to mind control and the evocation of lightning storms. Shapeshifting enables Spee to assume the forms of a backpack, allowing for immediate travel to checkpoints; a turquoise, with enhanced speed and the capacity to jump; a cloud of mist, which enables him to pass through gates and cross water; or a robot, with which he can covertly interact with, or bypass, certain non-player characters. There are 100 secrets present in the game, logged if the player uncovers hidden areas, switches, and dungeons; these encompass spirit forges, at which Spee may donate a significant portion of his blood in exchange for powerful battle artifacts. A day and night cycle passes progressively—at night, Spee's attacks become more potent, and during full moon phases, some sealed doors become accessible

I am also working in only C too. I only had library problems with GLM which I can't link to my program. But I didn't want to use GLM anyway- I wrote my own math functions. I link to Vulkan by seeing if vulkan-1.dll is in the programs path and then reading all the function pointers out. That lets the binary have it's own fallbacks in case vulkan-1.dll isn't present (but it still requires OpenGL).

I haven't been working on the Vulkan code for a long time just because I am working on occlusion culling right now, that isn't done in Vulkan but is done outside of it. I don't know GLSL very well yet (I have to learn). I know how to split polygons and clip solids on the CPU, look up CSG tutorials it will help a lot. Essentially you can clip stuff and split it, etc. that might help a little.

Since I wanted to try some stuff with animation, I had to load the model my hand with assimp

>>15131330

I'm using a linear algebra library I found called linmath. It's all in one header and uses types similar to those used by glsl.

There's barely any documentation and the license is completely open so I'm going to take it and expand it based on my needs.

>>15131361

2D or 3D?

>>15131368

Wow fuck, forgot the most important detail. 2D.

>>15131361

Gamemaker over Godot?

>>15131384

I'd hear our an argument for Godot. I don't know dicks about it.

>>15131390

It would probably be quicker to check the engine's site/docs and videos on it.

But one of its selling points is that the workflow is scene based from what I gather.

>>15131353

>it's like 600 lines long at best

How much oomph does something need to be considered a library? All that in one files seems pretty small.

Also, is there an advantage of putting the stuff from like mat4x4_invert in two arrays, rather than just using local variables? I thought they were "faster" than traversing memory like that

>>15131361

GM has a few flaws to its workflow from what little I can remember from it. Most people seem to like Godot for 2D, which is what anon recommended. It uses a scene/node template approach to its stuff.

Unity and Unreal are owned by Jews or Chinese Jews and are a cancer to the industry. Use them if you want, but they're more suited to 3D games, though as OP's image indicates, Unity's 2D mode is actually in 3D

>>15131461

>is there an advantage of putting the stuff from like mat4x4_invert in two arrays, rather than just using local variables?

I don't understand

>>15131527

ultimately that's just a fancy way of saying float[16]. It's easier to just address a matrix like that (and that's how the GPU sees it)

>>15131515

Looking good anon. What's the gameplay loop on this going to be like?

>>15131532

Yeah, I guess a ref to float[16] and a struct with pass-by-value semantics of 16 floats in size are pretty much exactly the same (though the array would be friendlier to pass around for client code). Hm.

>>15131550

It's the same memory. OpenGL, Vulkan, etc don't expect anything more when passing a matrix. You could look at code like this:

mat4_t mat4_mult(mat4_t m1, mat4_t m2){
	mat4_t r = {0};
	for(uint_fast8_t j = 0; j < 16; j+=4){
		for(uint_fast8_t k = 0; k < 4; k++){
			for(uint_fast8_t i = 0; i < 4; i++){
				r.m[j + k] += m1.m[j + i] * m2.m[k + i * 4];
			}
		}
	}
	return r;
}

For an example where mat4_t is just:

typedef struct mat4_s{
	float m[16];
}mat4_t;

It makes the most sense this way.

>>15131390

>>15131409

the main draw of godot over unity, gamemaker or other engines is that it is free in its entirety. both as in open source and as free of charge.

the second draw is that it is easy to learn and grow with it.

at first you want to modify objects using setter and getters which are easier to learn programing with, then once you are comfortable you start using properties instead, is exactly the same shit but is easier for code production because it uses fewer words at the cost of being a little more cryptic to beginners. then you set up node signals instead of listening to them every frame. then you want to start using dictionaries to organize some data (not all of it), then you want to create your own nodes and tools then… I don't know what is next because i'm still there but you can make some serious code gains with godot.

>>15131602

It's license (MIT) has made it extremely attractive to the gambling world since it doesn't carry the heavy fees that Unity and Unreal do for gambling uses.

>>15131527

Don't think there's going to be any padding in the struct so there's no real difference between even a flat array and that struct. You can address the memory exactly almost the same way.

It makes sense to build a matrix as a combination of vecX types because you're going to be using those simple vecX types anyway and it's easier to read.

>>15131542

A small selection of scripted events probably taken from the "top 100" and "events and NPCs" list from the Night Shift wiki https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Night_Shift

Do some mundane stuff, do the tasks on the shift schedule: take out trash, make coffee, hand off money from safe, receive trucked in goods. Something spooky happens. Might have to restart the generator in the back shed (a modified shipping container on back lot), or replace outdoor lights, or check the restroom.

The main game may consist of shifting you between alternate realities (each with a different danger or environmental attribute), where you must find and collect 1 odd item/token from each to get back home.

Maybe between each day you are rated on job performance, sales, and maybe other workers start leaving hidden messages and clues around the store.

Well, maybe not really horror. I'm not trying to make a horror game. Just odd things happening and a puzzle to solve. But I'd like to get the gameplay of just running the store on a night shift and either close out the project or add the surreal stuff if it feels right.

Maybe just a store simulator is good enough for this project. I'm not sure yet. I have a calendar system planned out, so at least some scheduled differences between events of the day.

I just realized, aren't you going to get into trouble if you were to release a game with all these real life products and trademarks in them?

Brainlet here. What kind of systems other than scene-based are available when it comes to game engines?

Just finished (last night actually, internet shat out) first significant step for my team in Godot today. I've never really done any devwork before so I spent most of today relearning vector math and how that relates to games, specifically the engine's functions related to it. Set up a basic lock on camera, was rather fun.

>>15133010

Enginedev :^)

>>15133010

what does scene-based mean?

>>15131361

UE4 likes to bake potatoes. Don't go that route if you have a weak computer. Also it has pretty poor documentation, even on the visual scripting side but if you can become familiar with it, it's a decent way to rapidly prototype things.

>>15118977

>>15133876

Look at the example projects, especially the ones similar to what you want. I like godot, but requiring OpenGL 3 for 2d graphics was so ridiculous that it pushed me over the edge into enginedev. Nobody asked for fucking PBR in an engine that doesn't even have occlusion culling god damn!

>>15134658

It had a portal-based culling system in 2.x, but it was shit and broke while working on the new renderer. I think they plan on re-implementing culling once the GL2.1 render is finished for Godot 3.1

>>15132559

thanks for the feedback. I want to bake in grunge and wear and tear into the textures once I'm ready for the final detail pass. Dust is a good tip. I can sprinkle it over the specular texture maps and it should be pretty much free detail in terms of framerate.

I want the store to feel a little older and with some high-traffic use. I think it will be across the road from a lake, boat house, pier, and C-grade seafood and steak restaurant. Or maybe a roadhouse or diner. not sure yet.

>>15132647

Yeah, I think that's a real problem. It's going to be a free application. I may stamp over the trademarked stuff with some royalty-free fonts and close-enough names anyway as part of the final detail pass.

>>15133010

Immediate-mode. Not used much anymore. BSP I think qualifies as it's own render system. Scene (node-trees) organization really took off at some point but its a rigid structure and costly to dynamically change the structure per-frame. Usually the renderer traverses the nodes and batches things by shader/buffer object/texture binds to minimize them. Changing the scene means regenerating at least part of the batched render list. On the up-side, scene graphs are pretty easy to cull with oct trees, camera frustrum etc because each parent node is usually a pretty good indication of where in space all children nodes are generally located, so not each object needs to be checked.

>>15130799

>spoiler

yeah, it's a 2x performance increase, not 4x, but the number of calls in the inspector did go from 2000 to 500.

It also turns out that the jap didn't predict that some of the objects using his scripts might be culled or otherwise invisible. It just renders everything all the time. I'll need to fix this

>>15135521

In October of 1994, I’d just started as an honest-to-goodness videogame programmer at a small startup called SingleTrac which later went on to fame and glory (but unfortunately not much in the way of fortune) with such titles as Warhawk, the Twisted Metal series, and the Jet Moto series. But at the time, the company was less than 20 employees in size and had only been officially in business for about a month. It was sometime in my first week possibly my first or second day. In the main engineering room, there was a whoop and cry of success.

Our company financial controller and acting HR lady, Jen, came in to see what incredible things the engineers and artists had come up with. Everyone was staring at a television set hooked up to a development box for the Sony Playstation. There, on the screen, against a single-color background, was a black triangle.

“It’s a black triangle,” she said in an amused but sarcastic voice. One of the engine programmers tried to explain, but she shook her head and went back to her office. I could almost hear her thoughts… “We’ve got ten months to deliver two games to Sony, and they are cheering over a black triangle? THAT took them nearly a month to develop?”

What she later came to realize (and explain to others) was that the black triangle was a pioneer. It wasn’t just that we’d managed to get a triangle onto the screen. That could be done in about a day. It was the journey the triangle had taken to get up on the screen. It had passed through our new modeling tools, through two different intermediate converter programs, had been loaded up as a complete database, and been rendered through a fairly complex scene hierarchy, fully textured and lit (though there were no lights, so the triangle came out looking black). The black triangle demonstrated that the foundation was finally complete the core of a fairly complex system was completed, and we were now ready to put it to work doing cool stuff. By the end of the day, we had complete models on the screen, manipulating them with the controllers. Within a week, we had an environment to move the model through.

Afterwards, we came to refer to certain types of accomplishments as “black triangles.” These are important accomplishments that take a lot of effort to achieve, but upon completion you don’t have much to show for it only that more work can now proceed. It takes someone who really knows the guts of what you are doing to appreciate a black triangle.

Years later, I was chatting with another SingleTrac alumnus, and was excitedly relating my work on the multiplayer code. I’d spent a little over a week working on the underlying architecture, trying to make it clean and reliable and easy to use. It was all UDP rather than TCP/IP (for speed), so I created my own “guaranteed delivery” protocol for those rare packets that needed to be guaranteed. I’d rarely worked low-level network code before, so it was kind of a new experience. When all was said and done, I had another computer join the game and boom! There it was, on the host machine. Wow. No updates, it did next to nothing, but the core architecture was there. The rest SHOULD come together quickly. Explaining this to my buddy over IM, I explained, “It’s a black triangle.” He understood what I meant immediately. It’s a convenient shorthand metaphor.

So feel free to steal the term. And when progress seems a little slow because you are doing a bunch of hardcore architecture work, just remember it’s a black triangle.

I have a quick question and this comes from a non dev scrolling by but, why did you choose to model the cheek blush as separate objects instead of just a texture on her skin? I understand the effect you were going for but it seems to me in VR it would look awkward.

To me based on your first webm it seems a bit awkward and I've never noticed it before and I've been following the progress of your dedication to your waifu for a while.

>>15137085

maybe linking to the original article or just pasting the text would be better

http://archive.fo/ubd1e

>>15137146

Yeah that is better.

>>15137144

Yeah I agree for VR it would look awkward but I got used to it. But mainly did it for the esthetic. It's nice to see the blushes go off a little bit off her face and poke out. Also you get better hard cut offs and don't have to worry about texel density on the blush circle. And also no more deformations from face blendshapes distorting the blush.

Yeah, I don't think the event.relative info doesn't have enough accuracy. I wonder if I could interpolate it. Remember I'm looking for silky smooth rotation, and type of jitter, even if its small can't exist.

WebGL is a joke.

>>15140576

they're just glorified tools to make games, is like asking how photoshop or FL studio works, they usually handle all the low level shit and give you tools so you can make your own game.

just make something like pong on unity.

>>15140576

Writing a game from scratch is like anything else that requires skill and craftsmanship: you build complex things by putting together many, many simple things.

You can buy a sports car and enjoy it (buy a game and play it). You can buy a kit car and put it together with simple tools by following the instructions (Unity, Unreal). You can fabricate your own sheet metal, machine your own engine block from billet aluminium, and cast and machine your own crank shaft (write a game starting at the shell prompt). And any level between these three. Obviously to do the low level fabrication requires much more knowledge, skill, and time.

>>15140660

Making analogies (and explaining them in quotes) is the most cancerous non-explanation I've ever seen. It doesn't actually provide any greater understanding about anything, but is enough to make someone stop and say "oh, yes, I understand cars complicated too"

>>15140576

as near as i can tell… idiots leading fools here kind of have a modeling focus in the past and branched out into animation/rigging

is that well unity at least is built around "objects" that can hold code and a model and a texture and a rig and a…. that you dump assets onto then you can use code to make them show up in your gameworld or you could load a world where they allready exist. so you could have a world object that would have code to call in other objects, that would have their own code to make them do what they do. i think godot is "node based" so objects are nodes and nodes tend to be the bit- child of other nodes but its the same idea. you can store health and equiment and how a character player or npc should behave in your wold via code attached to it. i would recomend fallowing a few tutorials to the letter and then branching out from them.

>>15140576

One step at a time.

Do some OpenGL calls to draw a triangle. Then rotate the triangle. Then rotate it in perspective. Then make an infinite loop that keeps updating the rotation and re-drawing it in the new position. Then take keyboard input and use that to update the rotation in the loop. Then draw multiple triangles at once. Then load the triangles from a file rather than typing them into the code. Then export a model into that file from Blender…

Of course you don't get it if you try to run without learning how to take steps.

>>15140576

When you code a game engine, you ask the operating system for a window that the OS manages. You then ask the graphics drivers and the OS for a context to draw graphics into. This puts you into an environment for drawing graphics that is managed by your OS and graphics drivers. You can then write code that asks the drivers to draw graphics for you, and this draws graphics on the screen.

It's not reasonable for anyone to try and explain this to you in a single post. Try watching videos about game engines and reading about game engines, it will start to make sense to you after a while how they work, but not how to make one, there is a big difference between knowing how a game engine works and knowing how to make a game engine that works in that way.

I am working on an engine and recently my project is 16000 lines of code. It has only basic rendering functions like moving through a textured 3D world with collision detection, with it's own custom formats and map editor. It's not simple, but also not that complicated either.

Maybe this will help:

>overthinking the complexity

You’re defintely not.

The sheer breadth and depth of knowledge required to produce a professional game from the ground up (I.e. no extraneous libraries)… that’s “modern”, is absurd.

Requiring multiple lifetimes of knowledge to even make a dent in the knowledge required.

Therefor you see anons using a pre-baked engine, or going early gen in terms of engine complexity for home brew; as to mitigate some of those decades of knowledge required to reach an equivelant state.

Games are defintely complex, and at a certain stage it becomes like one’s own Atlas esque tale. Though it’s sort of like a turtles all the way down metaphor as we’re also standing on the shoulders of giants in terms of the shortcuts we’ve all taken to side-skip knowledge (engines, libraries, etc).

Overall, to really explain one’s understanding for how games really work (from that anon’s relative position in the hierarchy of giants standing on another giant’s shoulders) is a topic that’s a bit too far reaching to cover in a single post.

I have no less than 12 barely started and unfinished SDL2 and OpenGL projects sitting on my desktop. Do I have ADHD?

>>15140968

You're starting too low level to make a game.

Trust me, I know that feel.

>>15141304

Do you start with Godot, BLender, and Krita?

>>15140576

A super simplified but kind of in-depth explanation of how games are made:

>you have a screen that displays pixels based on a set of bits where the first X bits are red, the next few green, then blue and maybe alpha, which just means you add it to the color that's already there in one of a few ways when you draw a pixel

>you have functions that draw triangles by figuring out where the outlines are, and then drawing from the leftmost pixel to the rightmost pixel (software rendering)

>except you don't do it yourself usually, you use something like OpenGL to make the GPU do it with functions embedded in its silicon

>you use matrix math to move, scale and rotate vertices in 3D

>you then use combinations of triangles and matrices in sequences to make models and animations

>these triangles are lit based on how much the normal of the triangle points in the direction of a light as most basic implementation

and when drawing the pixels of a triangle, you look up where on the triangle you are and where that triangle is on an unfolded flat version of your model to figure out what color to draw from a texture

>you make some abstraction of scenes with objects in them, which are just a construct of the sets of triangles (model) and matrices (animations and location) with some logic on how to draw them

>your PC constantly sends a stream of sequences of bits depending on which buttons are pressed, so you wait for certain sequences and make things happen based on that

>you give other things sequences of logic checks to define their behavior based on nearby other objects

>you also have sound which at its most basic (WAV) is some header stuff defining how fast the file plays and some other info, and then just contains a series of pitch numbers which rapidly change how fast your speaker vibrates to create sounds

>you create a mixer that can play these sounds, and add them together and average them in certain ways because the sound output can only get a single final pitch to play since a speaker can't vibrate at two pitches at the same time

>all of this stuff is generally implemented in your language of choice for speed, but you can add a scripting language that effectively calls combinations of the things above in a simpler more human comprehensible way

Except you skip a lot of this stuff by just integrating the work of people who have done it before. There's no point reinventing the wheel unless you have an idea for a better or cooler wheel. It's certainly beneficial knowing how things work in the background so you know how to use things most effectively, but unless you really need to optimize some part or are doing enginedev for fun you can and usually should just use a lot of things and assume they're magic. Gamedevs are like ants, we're strongest when we work together, although you don't have to actually interact with other ants just to use their free code or libraries.

Extra info:

>languages are made by parsing text (code) with a lexer to create tokens, which are then changed into byte instructions that tell the processor to get bits of RAM and do math with them

>programs exist entirely of a bunch of ROM and series of instructions that modify RAM

>I have done everything listed above myself at some point in the past 7 years and still feel like a retard

>>15130979

Yes. An armature is simply a skeleton, whereas a rig is the entire set of controls for controlling the animation of a character. A rig makes use of one or more armatures to achieve this.

>>15142464

Anon, you're really bad at this. Maybe learn to read next time.

>>15142466

This is better. I only have a maze, a falling rocks game and a space invaders clone under my belt. How could I hope to improve upon such masterpieces as "power rangers lightspeed rescue" and "dog's life"?

>>15142466

And then realize that that flawed game was the efforts of a large amount of people more experienced than you. Way more than just one person working on their little project. The things you'd change would probably take you years of blood and sweat to learn and implement in a functioning way.

>>15142478

Are you waiting for someone to pat you on the shoulder and say "you go, anon"? Waiting for validation when haven't made anything worthwhile yet?

You know that I'm right. The fact that you're here and not working on a game proves it.

Just being introduced to compute shaders now.

Would it be correct to perform transformations on a buffer of vertices in the compute shader then pass that data to the render pipeline?

Are there any downsides to this over alternatives? I imagine this would be faster than multithreading CPU processing

>>15142478

Those are some odd choices for favorite games. unless you're joking, I'm too autistic to tell either way.

That's up to you, man. Like I said, level by level, mission by mission. That's what I'm doing with Mario 64 - picking apart every star, one by one. Even doing the first three stages helped me learn a lot about exactly what I enjoyed in the game, and what was underwhelming. Sure, it takes a long time, but research is important.

>>15142492

So? Fuck off with your blackpill bullshit. Mass Effect Andromeda was also the product of several hundred people with "experience", and it's a piece of shit. The number of people working on it doesn't mean jack fuck, and nor does experience, if you're willing to learn and work. I have nothing better to do with my free time, there's no new vidya worth playing. I don't care if it takes me five years or ten to make it, the fact is, I know I can and I know I will.

>>15142492

Anon, I'm sorry but you already had a chance. I'll give you one more (you) but you gotta move on, okay buddy?

Also I'm at work right now so it ain't like I should be coding at this moment. Though I'm already slacking off so maybe I should. I guess you were just giving me tough love after all. Thanks for everything, friend.

>>15142524

Yeah I was kidding. You're right of course, sometimes it just helps to have someone reiterate that rome wasn't built in a day.

>>15142521

Most of the time, its more efficient to do that transformation in the vertex shader.

Whether or not its worth it is something you have to benchmark. There's a lot of different costs that you would or wouldn't have to pay with such an implementation, so be sure to test both new, old, different vendor, integrated and dedicated graphics hardware.

If you can't be arsed to do that, then simply don't bother with trying to optimize shit until you've got an actual game going. Graphics cards are good at straightforward naive work, so cramming a lot of math in one program is easier for them to handle.
