I've been playing a lot of SFV lately, so decided to try using PixelRender to 'demake' Ryu + Ken. Now I want to make a fighting game like this!
Cool :3 One thing I always kind of liked was that you had to let go to regain stamina in SotC so even if you were on top of something you still had to gamble by letting go and risking instant dismount if they shook, it made it feel scary to go for XD
wow, that looks greatThanks - does this look any better?
Yup yup. Sometimes it's over stuff that nobody playing the game will notice/value as much as you will too but you're too close to realise it, but regardless of the cause it's always disheartening when it happens.Man hitting a wall with stuff really sucks it out of you. Hard to keep going sometimes
Thanks!
Here's another gif showing how things can go wrong very quickly.
(Archer sees explosive barrel being thrown, tracks up to where the barrel was thrown from, sees player, fires arrow, arrow catches on fire, which ignites the other explosive barrel...and you see the rest.)
this looks lovely!Thanks - does this look any better?
Nice!Thanks!

I'm going to make a Simulator Simulator.Sad but true.... I dunno where I stand about these "simulator" games. Surgeon Sim was great, Goat Sim was pretty funny, but now it feels as though it's a "free pass" to make something that is kinda low-effort, or frankly just doesn't work, but still make some money from it... Oh well, guess that's the free market for ya.
Anyway, this Sunday has been pretty productive for me! I'd had a replay system working in my game for a good long while now, but I hadn't yet actually hooked it up to the game-flow. But now you can see all your lovely mistakes when you finish a level.
Here's a Gfy
Has anyone experience with connecting UE4 to Twitch chat (or generally IRC chat)? I'm surprised I can't find anything on that topic. Guess I have to do everything by myself with C++, which will take a while.
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, in the end it's gonna be parsing the chat log regularly for key words. But first I need to connect to the chat with an OAUTH token and stuff - I've never done something like this and hoped that there are at least some resources to get this running.
Thanks - does this look any better?
Amazing
Yup, raw texture detail gets lost at distances due to the point sampling, although you can beat that to a large extent by making sure you cut the geometry so that these details have their own UVs.
What's the major differences to the built in character controller? Couldn't find any info about this.
Thanks for the laugh
.Amazing! What engine do you use?Thanks!

GameMaker Studio
Oh, interesting. Hopefully the sub-scaling works out.
The built-in character controller is incredibly out of date and uses Javascript. Nasty. While the SCC doesn't take into account physics either (so any interaction with physics objects would need to be defined manually), it is designed for more accurate and versatile character movement - for example, you can define slope limits on a per-mesh basis, and the controller automatically handles stuff like sticking to sharp downwards slopes rather than 'falling' off the edge and missing the top of the slope entirely. It's also built with a state machine methodology, so you can define various movement states for specific behaviour such as idle, walking, jumping, falling, etc.

At least I´ve been able to develop a vertical and horizontall camera-controled parallax scrolling system, now I only need a nice background to make it worth the effort.GameMaker Studio
Not really; I mainly post when I have an issue or need a coding problem solved. I post all my gamedev stuff on twitter.
Thanks - does this look any better?
)... what gives you the biggest rush when building your game, and conversely what feels like a "drag"?Thanks - does this look any better?
Biggest rush - Seeing a new feature working with assigned art assets. Basically the point at which the game looks alive.Watching from the outside as a non-indy-dev (yet... let me win the lottery first...

I know when I'm devving, the idea of solving new problems is what excites me. Where I struggle is when I'm solving an "already solved" problem - I don't get excited by the idea of building a menu, a mouse cursor, a parallax scroll, and so on... because I know "it's been done before". I guess that's the benefit of using Unity, Game Maker Studio and so on? It accelerates the development of the "already solved" problems and lets you focus on the game?
Conversely I remember 100 years ago writing a dead simple Arkanoid clone in XNA studio (called Artanoid... you had to break down the blocks that made up a picture... the level was dark and the ball was a light source, the blocks were bump mapped, blah blah) - and the rush of hitting F5 on my laptop and seeing the game appear on my 360 was immense, so cool
TL;DR: Do you really have to be a "completer, finisher" type to be an indy game dev
That looks sooo cool! Release it all ready! Please? XDHere's new gif from one of the Power Hover update levels that I just finished working on. It turned out into a really fun level, one of my personal favorites in the whole game.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
namespace Methlab {
public static class Meth<T> {
public static T Choose(T[] options) {
int n = options.Length;
foreach (T option in options) {
if (Random.value*n < 1f) {
return option;
}
n--;
}
}
}
}using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Methlab;
public class Me : MonoBehaviour {
void Update() {
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) {
anim.Play("jumpStraight"+Meth.Choose("1", "2", "3"));
}
}
}RMB is actually rotate in scene view, but if you're in 2D mode and the camera is perspective locked, there's obviously no rotation, so they double it up with the more useful pan function
