my man bet his career on that game and then forgot about this minor inconvenience called cheaters in a multiplayer competitive game

deft jacinth
#

ok

#

so youre making a joke right

hazy sky
#

yeah

#

there's no way i'd ever make an extraction shooter

#

unless it was PVE oriented maybe

deft jacinth
#

ok

hazy sky
#

DMZ was a really good example of this though

deft jacinth
#

yeah they feel weird

#

DMZ is ok

#

i guess

hazy sky
#

DMZ is actually really fucking good though

#

they just don't iterate on ideas that would make it amazing

deft jacinth
#

it feels smooth tho

#

it just doesnt hav ethe vibe id like for that

hazy sky
#

of course it does, it's literally made on the MW2 base

deft jacinth
#

it doesnt feel cutthroat

hazy sky
#

but quality of life is missing entirely

deft jacinth
#

i need that clunky feel to it

#

to like it

hazy sky
#

my man wants the game to afflict testicular torsion on him

pure jackal
#

Bluds gonna be workin on this forever until it physically drags him into the screen and tears him apart

hazy sky
#

ok sonic.exe

#

someone tell me why am i cursed with ambitions

pure jackal
#

Talent that backs up the ambition

hazy sky
#

would be nice to have that

#

problem is, no matter how talented one person is, amibitons of this scope are a burden for just one person

#

i mean the very same ambition that drives warframe today is what almost killed it back in 2013

deft jacinth
hazy sky
#

no he's saying you're not stopping with your game until it literally drags you into the screen and tears you apart

deft jacinth
#

Uhh maybe with the ritual sacrifices but

pure jackal
#

Mans making his first game and his first instinct is to try and make a character creator from scratch instead of an existing one

hazy sky
#

i mean my game is my first project

#

and i used the literal stock character controller in godot for it

How'd they make it pay 2 win

#

@earnest lily

#

How

earnest lily
#

u ever consider the part where you pay real world money to get an advantage in game

#

people cry p2w over progression boost F2Ps and yet are willing to let this slide

Seriously

earnest lily
#

I'm FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

#

you can buy skins that give you free shit ingame ( e.g. spawn with 2 plate vest )

deft jacinth
#

Ok tf

That's predatory

A game that was fine and made all the money was sabotaged post launch because it wasn't making as much all the money as bobbert wanted

Vector3 move = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));

#

oculd this line be chagned so the velocity changed using my own keybinds ro would i need separate

lines

deft jacinth
#

nv,

hazy sky
#

haven't played since season 1

hazy sky
#

it's DMZ

#

its not some high level shit like tarkov

#

especially when armor breaks so easily, and most everyone is likely running 2 plates already since you can extract with it

#

like i usually didn't even bother with armor, if you have proper guns that fuck armor RAW then you're always in advantage

#

but i'd probably make it have a cooldown like 20 or 30 minutes if you die you won't get the bonus armor

#

or just make a whole fucking shop system in the menu where you can buy stuff tarkov style where everyone could buy starter armor and stuff instead of only using extracted weapons and not gears

earnest lily
#

I dobt want to clog up modding chat further

#

But some have free uav

#

Some have super low cd weapons

hazy sky
#

god

#

imagine dvd weapons

#

but nah, like i said, it's DMZ

#

unless you spawn RIGHT next to somebody right after you died last round, it's not a problem

#

and even if you did, you probably went in naked so it wouldn't make a difference if a no life cod nerd bought his way to a minor success

#

activision releasing MW2 be like "it was a misinput calm down, CALM DOWN IT WAS A FUCKING MISINPUT SHUT UP"

FLASHBACK TO 2014 MEATBOX POST

#

quake engines PSP fork baybee

rotund garden
#

how hard is it to work on quake psp

pure jackal
#

idk

#

I wasn't the programmers

#

let me ask the programmers

hazy sky
#

it also uses the quake psp engine

pure jackal
hazy sky
#

where are the credits

pure jackal
#

NVM THEY REMOVED IT THAT BITCH
I did the MP5K in that

hazy sky
#

his career: ruined

#

i remember having so much fun with it when my PC was shit

#

played it with my cousin for days and days after school

#

even made a map myself which was that tranzit map from BO2

#

but the portion with the city and the four buildings

#

didn't mean to make it look like that, but it kinda felt like that

#

oh and the no mercy campaign's starting building

#

it was so cool

#

shame i lost those to time forever

pure jackal
#

Town was the map yeah

hazy sky
#

i might make a zombies game mode in my game

#

but replace it with something silly

#

or make it like zombies

#

hmm

#

nah

#

make robots maybe

pure jackal
#

I remember the new person heading the project just refused to add back in the mp5k from the alpha and told me and someone else to "give me a new model for it that matches the rest of the redseign" and the weapon Modeler went "alright bet" and made and animated the model and then I went "alright bet" and made a texture out of it that was literally just the mg42 texture but with a fire select added

pure jackal
hazy sky
#

show

pure jackal
#

Ok good I get to show these from 2014

#

you will regret this

#

So years back a group that has half of the people that I still work with now tried to take that quake psp Civil war fps and give it a robot themed survival mode cause nzp was hit

#

We had a really good artist behind it too

#

Steampunk robots
Its like zombies but instead of rounds its a timer

#

They even did textures wow I forgot about this

#

Need to catch up with them sometime

hazy sky
#

that's cool

#

they drew the textures on paper?

pure jackal
#

Yes

hazy sky
#

the new nzp version is a hit or miss

#

it can look really good

#

but also low effort and cheap

#

mostly the latter

#

like the trench gun looks fucking amazing but the MP40 lacks any detail

pure jackal
#

There's a reason for that

#

Mp40 was re-done by a different guy

#

Iirc the original guy from the first version of the demo was very unreliable on if he'd be avaliable to work

#

He did the PPSH redux but everything new thats not from the original demo was the second guy

#

I like his stg though

hazy sky
#

imagine me working on this

#

weapons would be done within a week

pure jackal
#

I mean its now completely open source so you can

hazy sky
#

its been ever since back then

pure jackal
#

The question is, would they look good in mdl on the psp

#

Would they even run

hazy sky
#

i mean the trench gun here 100% has more verts than my shotgun model does

pure jackal
#

Cause hoo boy the big detail killer is the mdl export

hazy sky
#

the killer details are the unaligned sights

#

i miss half my shots

#

also accuracy feels like csgo

pure jackal
#

Are you using a build or webgl

hazy sky
#

but worse because there are moments when i hit ZERO shots with the shotgun at 3 meters

#

build

#

#

19 hours ago

pure jackal
#

Show me the sights

hazy sky
#

it's literally like all the guns

pure jackal
#

They should all be aligned right now we fixed them

#

There was a bug where they all were off to the right a bit but we fixed that for sure

hazy sky
#

the thompson, the colt, browning, g43 and shit

#

also the kar

#

the bar too

pure jackal
#

Ok I wonder if they accidentally undid the ads fix with the whole open source thing

hazy sky
#

also these poor souls keep getting stuck on everything

pure jackal
#

What map

#

Nevermind

#

Regardless its in a better state than it ever was

#

Minus the ads

hazy sky
#

some animations are really good though

#

like the STG has really fluid animations

#

rest is like a lethargic dude with parkinsons

#

the guys working on the weapons and animations really clash with each other

pure jackal
#

Stg was the same guy as most of the other new guns

#

The big mdl downgrader is the severe lack of keyframes to work with, the guys good with regular models but he's not the best at trying to have a great animation conveyed by 7 frames that tween

hazy sky
#

i died of fall damage

#

while going up the stairs

pure jackal
#

Oh now thats not possible

hazy sky
#

i wish i had replay turned on in nvidia

#

i was sprinting up the stairs and i died

#

and got the achievement for it

pure jackal
#

I have played nzp periodically since 2011
I have never died of fall damage going up stairs

#

Not even dolphin diving up stairs

hazy sky
#

yea me neither

#

fall damage feels fucked whatsoever

#

falling from two steps of height sends my dude into a frenzy

#

so going up at mach 2 isn't gonna do well either

#

unfortunate version to place my bias on

#

i wish godot had the visual fidelty of source 2

#

cs2 looks gorgeous

#

i hope valorant gets it's teeth kicked in by it

pure jackal
#

Ye

hazy sky
#

like i'm literally jelly of how source 2 looks bruh

#

i wanna use source 2

#

working with Dota's S2 wasn't the same as having a full fledged map editor

#

i love making maps

#

just wish i had better tools than using blender only

#

scale is a really big thing that's fucking me over

rotund garden
#

is NZP still being worked on? lol

deft jacinth
#

I'd say something like real-time csg

#

Or chisel

#

Couldn't get it to work on my pc tho

deft jacinth
#

Partially why I chose unity was I used to do a lot of python and Java so it blends together a bit

hehehaha

#

#

i woke up today with the server i made having 1000+ messages 2 @'s ands 3 dms

azure flume
hazy sky
#

still doesn't solve the scale issue

sinful coyote
#

Scale as in the map's size relative to your player?

azure flume
#

So measure your shit and build to scale

#

Or what exactly is your issue?

spare scarab
#

Trenchbroom is great for having a sense of scale

#

considering u use godot, it's even better

#

with the qodot plugin and all

#

fuckin awesome tool in general

deft jacinth
#

I'm usually more interested in tools than in games and stuff more systems than presentation

hazy sky
#

not sure

#

i'm looking at a really cool devlog series which uses unreal 4 and it kinda makes me want to switch engines

deft jacinth
#

Don't use unreal

earnest lily
hazy sky
#

i mean my code base is in it's infancy

#

the worst thing i could break is the hud and the goldeneye 64 aiming

#

i like godot though

earnest lily
#

you also had some assets already setup iirc

#

UE could throw your look ( and even the subtleties of gamefeel ) out the window

hazy sky
#

but seeing other engines side by side to it made me realize how much potential is wasted

hazy sky
#

i want a kind of cartoony look anyways

#

KIND OF like XIII but waaay toned down

deft jacinth
#

unreal is nightmare

#

and i only liek pure code generally but if you like unreals scripting thing go for it

deft jacinth
#

am i right?

#

ive only used godot before

#

only unity

#

and pure code in python

merry lotus
#

finally added seeing the pixel resolution while you're editing it

before you would only be able to see it after you either start the game or reset it because it would only resize the render texture after the scene is loaded

fast vault
crimson tapir
#

There's a UI element called a "scroll view" use that

wraith beacon
#

Godot and Unreal handle assets and logic pretty differently.

hazy sky
#

man, reflection probes in godot are a game changer bruh

#

they make interiors feel like interiors

#

lights are off all over tho so it might look weird now

pure jackal
#

I do not see a difference

#

should I be worried

#

oh the floor

hazy sky
#

hol up

hazy sky
#

this will showcase it better

#

basically it's kind of a fake global illumination

#

mixed with cubemaps

#

reflection probes basically help tint a room in it's own colors

pure jackal
#

nice

hazy sky
#

it adds so little, but that so little a huge difference

pure jackal
#

also STOP BEING SO TALENTED WHAT IS THIS MENUY STGOOOOOOOP

hazy sky
#

stgoop

#

what goop

#

i like how it also boosts reflections

#

i can play around with it because i was genuinely fucking unhappy with it

#

also this can help you make a mirror

#

which i won't do for obvious reasons

#

i also like how you can combine these

#

it just won't look as impressive sadly

#

it works exactly like in source 2

#

without the extra work

#

if two probes overlap, there's a smooth transition between the two

#

so if you were to do shiny reflective floors, you could make a really good reflection with these

#

however you'd need to pre calculate these before you can see them

just realized this late into development that it might be hard to tell what direction is up while you're playing with 6dof controls

then if we're resetting then we get the desired rotation using Quaternion.LookRotation and lerp towards that

however if we get mouse input then we stop rotating

merry lotus
hazy sky
#

been thinking

#

what if you rendered the enemies to a secondary viewport at half res

#

what really bothers me with 3D pixel art games is how the polygons are so sharply defined

#

imagine 3D models also having rough aliased edges to further add to the pixel art flavor

hazy sky
#

would help them feel more like sprites

#

well yeah.. but voxels can only go so far

#

they're a pain to animate

#

you'd have the full skeletal system while sort of resembling voxels

#

trade off is you'd need a little higher res textures on the enemies

untold niche
#

3d environment with 2D enemies liek doom?

hazy sky
#

no

#

3d enemies with 3d environment

#

but with pixel oriented art style

#

bruh like amid evil or dusk

untold niche
#

so just a low res filter?

#

why would the environments and enemies be at different resolutions?

merry lotus

is this a good font

merry lotus
#

#

violet otter
#

Fun times.

deft jacinth
#

thats what i meant

merry lotus
#

yeah it uses the built in input system

merry lotus
#

(should have explained this earlier but)

my keybind system works by having an int array where each element of the array is a keycode

meanwhile there's an enum called Keybinds that has all of the keys you can use that are set to an index in the keycode array

(ex:

enum Keybinds { DoSomething = 0, DoSomethingElse = 1 }

int[] keycodes = { 97, 98 }; // A and B keys

void KeyDown(Keybinds key)
{
    return Input.GetKey((KeyCode)keycodes[(int)key]);
}

void KeyPressed(Keybinds key)
{
    return Input.GetKeyDown((KeyCode)keycodes[(int)key]);
}

Debug.Log(KeyDown(Keybinds.DoSomething)); // Do we have A held down?
#

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but it works so

#

also i don't remember if that's how you initalize int arrays in c# because it's 11:53 PM and everything gets blurry when i look around

tranquil oracle
#

Why an int[] and not a KeyCode[]?

#

Just seems unnecessarily error prone

so they just kept loop cutting till they reached the spot they wanted to cut in

His issue was one - moar polygon = better

And two - complete refusal to listen to advice and to attempt to try things people recommended him

Instead trying to jump into high level modeling practices with no experience or skills

there's a reason why we make fun of him - it is not because he was someone who would take criticism, listen to feedback, or overall willing to improve

He drove vriska mad because he kept asking for help from vriska but kept getting mad when vriska pointed out his mistakes

Greetings fellow VR and Half-Life fans!

This time I'm showcasing LADAR (LAser Detection And Ranging) mechanic in Alyx, inspired by Scanner Sombre/Lidar from GMod.

The player is placed in a pitch-black environment, equipped only with a scanner that can temporarily colourise the silhouette of objects, that its lasers hit.

The scanner has two mo...

Here's a game design question. We have a parry system in our game. You've been able to parry pretty much every enemy projectile thus far. Do you think we should also have some projectiles that are un-parryable? If so, what do you think would be a good way to visually differentiate them for the player? Looking for some suggestions, thanks.

merry lotus
#

maybe have different colors for objects that are parryable vs objects that are un-parryable

#

or maybe have the parryable things look like they're parryable but have the non-parryable things look dangerous

#

like the fireballs and the coconuts from super mario galaxy

Hey dude

#

I think I've figured out my problem with making games

#

I'm great at adding shut

#

It's just the building up the framework

#

That's so annoying

deft jacinth
#

how do i give myself the will to make the framework

pastel wharf
#

Do you get distracted easily

#

Do you find it unfun

#

Do you have other things on your mind

#

We're all different people with different brains, you need to think about what makes YOU behave like this and act on it

#

Or get Adderall idk

deft jacinth
#

It's that I'm entertained but distracted easily sometimes and can find it not fun a lot of the time

#

Also I usually have a lot going on so if I try to enjoy what I'm doing the next thing looms over and kinda says away the fun

deft jacinth

Uhh kinda can't my pcs in a room with no doors

Ehhh I could

pastel wharf
#

Well bingo

deft jacinth
#

I don't really have any paper material for my game

pastel wharf
deft jacinth
#

Ok

pastel wharf
#

Getting an idea on black and white and being able to just see it exist can help

deft jacinth
#

I have the drawing skills of a dead horse

pastel wharf
#

Its not there to be beautiful it's there to prove a point

#

Btw when I mean everything you could need I mean everything

deft jacinth
#

I have a ton of stuff for a dnd campaign and a tabletop game so I have story material

pastel wharf
#

Bottles of water, snacks, pens and paper even if you rarely use them

#

If you get distracted easily chances are your brain will use these things not being here as an excuse

deft jacinth
#

Fair enough

#

Thay happens fairly often with sleep

#

The water thing

#

I could totally adapt a lot of my ideas for my dnd campaign to the game I wanna makes setting

#

Ehh I don't have any story ideas

#

My main thing is that enemies are an extreme threat and you need to find interesting ways to go around and attack

#

You're dead quick or they're dead quick

#

This sound like a good idea

#

Also my code got fucked last I worked on it so I got nothing

merry lotus
#

is this button a good idea

#

all it does it take you to where the save data is stored

pastel wharf
merry lotus
#

yeah that's the main reason i'm asking

#

like it doesn't need to be there

#

but at the same time it's fine if it is

deft jacinth
#

I'm probably also a little pissed about the programming because some guy was talking shit about my little brother and I wanted to chokeslam him

pastel wharf
merry lotus
#

there's only 2 files
the encrypted json that handles all the settings
and a file that checks if you've already watched the intro so you can skip it

#

actually i think i'm gonna remove the encryption it doesn't need to do that

pastel wharf
merry lotus
#

AppData/LocalLow/Plazmin/Aequor

#

basically just the persistant data path directory

pastel wharf
#

Yeah yeah ik

#

In this case

#

Sure

#

Keep it

merry lotus
#

ok

pastel wharf
#

Most people know about appdata but they probably don't have the time to rummage through local or local low to check for a save file

#

The save is unencrypted I assume?

merry lotus
#

it is now

pastel wharf
#

Yeah then keeping the save file.locafion button is a useful thing for the people that care

#

Btw where are you releasing AEQUOR once it's finished

merry lotus
#

can't release it on steam because you gotta be 18+

#

it's probably gonna cost 2 dollars

pastel wharf
#

More like 100$

#

For every game

#

It gets refunded if you make at least 1000$

#

Its basically a security deposit but for your game and if it doesn't do well they keep the money

deft jacinth
#

so i just started on the project again and uhh i think i just need to make it small tasks

pastel wharf
#

I personally hate this method but what you can do is make a checklist of small stuff to do

#

You'll feel more accomplished and will make that small stuff you do a little bit more fulfilling

sharp plover

Using the Character Controller for third-person action is a bit of a pain in the ass, but it's the only thing I can think of atm for using root motion with programmed motion. I don't know how well that works with rigidbodies

what do you guys think about having subtitles describe what you're supposed to do next

It would be cooler if the game told you what to do without words but i'm not sure on how to do that and this seems like the easiest way

deft jacinth
#

Keep that for now but keep working on teaching the player without words so they could turn it off if they want a challenge

#

Maybe have it spark slightly

humble herald
#

Or funnel a player through to where the next objective is through various means

#

The only way forward, pieces of debris, dropped crates, something hostile chasing you that leaves you alone when you get to the part you need

#

Stuff like that

pastel wharf
#

But all of that is a lot of work

#

So yeah maybe text is better.

hazy sky
#

this one looks like your average indie stuff

also use the level itself as the teacher, sprinkle lights near objective or use them to dictate level flow

doesn't have to be blinding lights, just subtle changes are enough to signify areas

Giving Godot a little test. There are a lot of things I like about it (being fast and lightweight is a really big plus) but there are still quite a few quirks I don't like (like the seeming lack of visual debug tools).

Also, does anyone here know how to add some sort of damping to the SpringArm3D so that it's not completely locked on to the Player?

azure flume
#

Don't have camera as a child, make the camera follow the arm around with acceleration/deceleration curves or whatever

When I was testing it, the target was the SpringArm itself. I tried placing a Marker3D where the camera used to be (a child of the SpringArm) but I'm having issues with lerping the camera's position to the Marker3D:

extends Camera3D
@onready var target = $"../player/SpringArm3D/Marker3D"
@onready var player = $"../player"


@export var damp_speed = 1.0

# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta):
    self.position = lerp(self.position, target.position, delta * damp_speed)
    look_at(player.position, Vector3.UP)
    
azure flume
#

hmm, might have to use global_position instead of position

#

position is in relation to the parent, which would be contant zero, no?

I'll try that. Still getting used to the terminology in godot, what with "basis" "position" and "global_position"

Hey, I just released two mods for Half-Life: Alyx, for anyone interested.

One that adds Bullet Penetration mechanics to the game, and another with a Shooting Range to accompany it. A special Shooting Range, considering it's filled with secrets and other details to try (including the Scanner Sombre/Lidar section I showcased earlier).
