Gonna be a top down shooter with typing game elements.
Can't convince me that this isn't the Best worst idea for a game.
I can't stop coming up with bad ideas, help.
wraith beacon
Got some basic shooting in.

Is the plan that time slows down when you have to type?
wraith beacon
Maybe.
I'm trying to make it not too intrusive with things like short words that are all the same length.
Definitely a silly idea though but that's kinda what made me interested in the mechanic of reloading your gun with a typing game minigame.

The final boss will involve all the words you type to reload being replaced with profanities.
It probably won't but it's a funny idea so it's not out of the question.
wraith beacon
Making the game feel a bit less like doo doo now.
I'll probably make reloading a manual button rather than opening the text prompt on bullet collision.
wraith beacon
Alright, tweaked it a bit.

slender knoll

wraith beacon
No it's a top down shooter that happens to involve typing. Not really going to be Binding of Issac like.
wraith beacon
Maybe, Not sure how I'd implement a system like that.
keen bear
type "ice" to fire some ice bullet that has fun ice mechanics
or rather, load your gun with that type of shot
wraith beacon
Could see that being a mechanic though.
keen bear
itd be much less reactive though
because then youre just typing words from memory
rather than reacting to the prompt
wraith beacon
What if, the gun just shot the words ๐ค
keen bear
thatd be fun
you COULD come up with a unique projectile per word in your dictionary
"dog" shoots dog projectile
wraith beacon
Would probably be hard to implement though, I'm fine with it being a more reactive system right now I guess.
keen bear
definitely
theyd be very different games
the idea of it shooting the word itself is fun
wraith beacon
I'll look into making a system like that maybe, but I also like how the bullets are literally just a D
wraith beacon
Another idea would be to make it so your gun can have multiple shots loaded? I can see that being a bit fun.
Hiding in cover and shotgun loading three shots seems like an interesting idea I guess.
Because reloading makes you vulnerable in this particular system.
keen bear
that is nice
maybe you have different weapon types that support more or less loaded ammo
and also weapons of a higher damage value that require longer words to load
like a rocket launcher or something
six letter words
versus a handgun doing 3 letter words and holding like 3-5 shots or something
wraith beacon
There's a lot that could be done that's for sure.

You can now queue up to five shots for a five round burst.

imo when you successfully type a word it should stay onscreen in green or something for a second (or half)

Really? That's crazy. Quake's AI seems so much better, but I guess if you sped up Doom's enemies, they'd behave almost the same way.
And, yeah, Q3 would have to be for the bots.

its not identical but it is very similar

https://media.indiedb.com/images/members/3/2860/2859885/profile/Box_art_caroline_lower.png Hey everyone! So I've hit a bit of a rut and wanted to ask you guys for help.
Effectively I've decided I want to replace the Eviscerator (gattling gun) with something more interesting as viscerafest already has a fully automatic weapon.
I've come up with a few ideas and have created a straw poll so you guys can give me your thoughts on what kind of weapon you want to replace it.
Weapon (1):
A weapon that deals a fair amount of damage to every enemy in the player's field of view,
but has a small ammo cap and ammo for it is infrequent, player can use health as ammo.
Weapon (2):
A melee weapon that has a secondary fire that launches a chain toward enemies dragging
them toward the player stunning them for a few seconds allowing the player to wail on them.
The chain has a cooldown time.
Weapon (3):
A weapon that fires a blade that can pass through enemies and will ricochet around the level for a period of time.
Here is the straw poll now vote!!!! https://www.strawpoll.me/17680196
queen comet
Why not combine weapon 1/2? Might be OP, but you could like pull enemies towards you and deal more damage or something
viscid sandal
Weapon 1 is hitscan
wraith beacon
Weapon 1 but it shoots chains.
viscid sandal
The functionality only would make sense for a shotgun or melee weapon
wraith beacon
So it's a literal chain gun.
queen comet
Can hitscanners not detect rage and reduce damage over distance?

Idk we'll see. Depends how the votes land

Hey i wanted to ask if there are any mods you could recommend for Quake. Im mostly looking for mods that make the game a bit more modern when it comes to controls
rustic cradle
This might be a bit controversial, but I like Quake 1.5 a lot for what it is.
misty sparrow
i like Q1.5 more than regular quake
rustic cradle
Quake is rather low on my list of FPS classic favourites, but 1.5 streamlined it in a way that made it just so much more enjoyable for me
misty sparrow
og quake is bland and ๐ค
rustic cradle
Yeah, 1.5 is really just the right enhancement to modernize the experience
Can't wait for it to be 100% finished. Would be really neat to play through AD with 1.5 gameplay and weapon enhancements. Not sure if that'd even be possible though, with AD adding some stuff in that department itself. One can dream, though...

I agree, the general combat design with all those hitscan enemies hasn't really aged all that well. Doom holds up a lot better than quake imo tho, I'm still havin a blast playing through og doom and doom 2 (except for thy flesh consumed maybe), especially with Andrew's idkfa ost remake and, say, smoothdoom.
wraith beacon
Establishing the look of H the game be like.
nimble socket
that shadow is spooky
viscid sandal
In doom whilst the juggling of enemies weapons and resources is all a factor its mitigated by the fact that they throw tons of low tier enemies at you usually pushing you into this play style of shoot whatever is closest. Whereas in quake there's less enemies but they all hit harder and last longer making your choice of target hold more weight in the moment. In conjunction quakes hitscanning enemies with the exception of the shambler are pretty neglagable adversaries who only appear in base maps and as for shamblers they have predictable and easy ways to counter them. Where doom has a leg over quake is that quakes guns sound like pillow launchers making them feel unsatisfying to use in tandom with the bouncy and lackluster recoil. Dooms weapons sound and feel more crisp to use, but I personally prefer quakes combat on the whole to dooms and its shortcomings don't bug me much.
But this is modding and nobody cares what I think anyways so here's a gun

viscid sandal
Well to be fair it also has a much stronger modding community
viscid sandal
Actually on top of modding tools being developed a few mods have been popping up here and there more frequently. Biggest issue has been its just a hard game to develop mods for
nimble socket
I boot up Doom and I get addicted for hours, Quake I love, I really do, but requires more patience and is harder, but dont get me wrong I want more quake content, AD was brilliant and I love the chunky graphics, quake also has jumping, which is better than Doom`s sprinting over holes
Quake being full 3D makes it better in some technical aspect for obvious reasons, like the RL feels better, but I cant say one is better than the other
viscid sandal
they both kind of equal out admittedly, doom is frontloaded with good levels and then is backloaded with crap, quake kind of has them sprinkled through before finishing poorly (except for the shub level I do like that one but not because its a good boss level) But both the games have this back and forth that ultimately comes down to personal preference which one you like more for the most part.
I enjoy quake more but I can understand people being turned off by the lackluster gunplay.
Which I'd love to fix myself but.... I'm busy
nimble socket
I find Doom is timeless, ep1 and the gunplay and bestiary is near perfect, except lost souls, fuck lost souls, the later episodes are kinda ehhhhh, Doom 2 is not a game I enjoy, SSG is nice but the maps and enemies suck, Quake`s shambler on nightmare is not my favourite enemy, he adds tension, but some maps can make fighting them horrible
viscid sandal
They're pretty easy to deal with when you have the super nailgun
and baiting their melee attack is also a decent strategy as well

coarse token
Also a question, what's the colour scheme and graphical advancement of the game? I see the pixelized stuff which makes me think it's kind of retro; With retro stuff I try to keep that feeling around, by using only a few select standout colours, really vibrant ones very selectively. Some orange or red in there might fit nicely if you can texture it well but tbh the logo as is looks good.
If you can find something that works, some red inside the letters and maybe orange would like quite nice, but I don't know of any good design patterns that could do that
patent spade
yeyeye i getcha, i was thinking about doing some texture work on it but i dont really know how it would go about doing that since this is illustrator, i can port it over to photoshop and do some texture work but i dont really know what i would do. imma think more about it,maybe a color change would be cool but idk really, i also like the logo as is too
warped tulip
This looks good, but one thing to keep in mind is people might think of the pokemon logo before they think of the 3D Realms logo
maybe if there were highlights on the blue part of the letters but that's probably really tough to do

Use just regular raycast, with camera transform and the camera transform forward
The viewport to point Ray and that stuff is weird and seems a bit overkill
Simplier thing would to use the Ray direction (camera forward) + randomized rotation

camera forward + predefined angles didn't work
idk about the randomized rotation. The issue is that the rotation isn't the same in every direction for my guns, I think. If it was uniform all the way around the rotating effect wouldn't really matter

i have pre-determined angles working (but only for 1 axis at a time)
looks like im going to have to figure out some advanced math to make the angle caclulation for this easier

Nice duskdude cameo there
near mortar
Clearly it's the sequel to dusk

Okay, so I made the spread consistent wherever the player is facing, but the spread doesn't rotate with the player.
@unique trellis
The spread is always facing forwards from the camera's original position, how can I like, grab all the rays, and just rotate them all at once?
you can see what I mean here
the spread is always facing the same direction
coarse token
I marked the raycasts with lightshot, which is why they're coloured.
unique trellis
what are you trying to exactly do? there's something that's not clicking in my head
coarse token
Like, see the red one, yeah? that's what it should look like, more or less
but then the casts further to the left are the same exact spread,
unique trellis
i honestly have no idea uh, what is going on
coarse token
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
Vector3 combatDirection = Camera.main.transform.forward;
combatDirection.x += combatAngles[i].x * 0.1f;
combatDirection.y += combatAngles[i].y * 0.1f;
Quaternion direction = Quaternion.EulerRotation(combatDirection);
if (Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.transform.position, combatDirection, out RaycastHit combatHit, 100f))
{
print(combatHit.distance);
GameObject testObj = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
testObj.transform.position = combatHit.point;
testObj.transform.localScale *= 0.1f;
}
}
the quaternion is unused
unique trellis
hm
oh
i think i know whats wrong
ok so this is supposed to be a shotgun right?
coarse token
yeah
unique trellis
the rotation will always be positive
so it will always only be on the right
you want left/right spray, right?
make the int i = -7
that's what i used for mine
prisma basalt
Use code blocks you nerds
coarse token
how to do codeblocks on discord
The i is used to iterate through an array of different vectors
prisma basalt
code
there we go
void initCombatAngles()
{
combatAngles[0].x = 0f;
combatAngles[0].y = 0f;
combatAngles[1].x = 3.5f;
combatAngles[1].y = 0f;
combatAngles[2].x = -3.5f;
combatAngles[2].y = 0f;
combatAngles[3].x = 1.75f;
combatAngles[3].y = 3.5f;
combatAngles[4].x = -1.75f;
combatAngles[4].y = 3.5f;
combatAngles[5].x = 1.75f;
combatAngles[5].y = -3.5f;
combatAngles[6].x = -1.75f;
combatAngles[6].y = -3.5f;
}
Boom
misty sparrow
you did it, reddit
coarse token
see, it's an array of vector values being added to the camera's rotation
unique trellis
oh
im going to try this myself real quick, and see if i can replicate what youre doing
coarse token
the code I pasted without the code formatting up there is the entire script more or less, just init the angles in start and add a button to activate the raycasts
super small script
I have a bunch of commented out stuff that I tried to fall back on
unique trellis
ok i see what you mean now
must be something with the stuff not rotating with the camera forward
coarse token
I'm thinking like this, so the camera is rotated 0 degrees x,y,z, spread is pretty normal, then add the same vector values to the camera when it rotates 90 y, and it should look the same, except in a different place.
It doesn't though, why?
coarse token
It's all about the normalized direction
I hate that so much, magnitude of 1 instead of just being able to use euler angles
idk what to do in order to make it work, I feel I've tried everything
unique trellis
this honestly has me stumped
coarse token
Vector3 direction = new Vector3(Camera.main.transform.forward.x, Camera.main.transform.forward.y, Camera.main.transform.forward.z);
so that works to put the pellets where the player faces
is there any way to "un-normalize" the camera.main.transform.forward?
If I can get the camera.main.transform.forward in euler angles I can add the spread to it and it should work
unique trellis
try transform.eulerangles?
coarse token
tried that, am onto local stuff right now
ughhh this is so frustrating, how does TF2 have fixed shotgun spread?
keen bear
you could just use a local direction, then use TransformDirection
tranquil oracle
Vector3 direction = new Vector3(Camera.main.transform.forward.x, Camera.main.transform.forward.y, Camera.main.transform.forward.z);
w-what
why not just var direction = Camera.main.transform.forward;
keen bear
also that array from earlier
you can just feed it vectors individually instead of .x then a .y
tranquil oracle
Could possibly even just allocate the array there and use an initializer too
Depends on if that function is called more than once I guess
tranquil oracle
I'd also change it to Vector2 since you don't use the z component
keen bear
yeah ofc
coarse token
I kept z in because when I print(direction) the z sometimes changes?
it's all so confusing
coarse token
normalized vectors and all that aren't my cup of tea
keen bear
its much simpler than youre thinking
for example
ill posts dusks code
now keep in mind this is js
coarse token
Vector3 direction = new Vector3(Camera.main.transform.forward.x + combatAngles[i], Camera.main.transform.forward.y + combatAngles[i], Camera.main.transform.forward.z + combatAngles[i]);
should be the camera.transform.forward, + the angle then right?
keen bear
and not particualarly great js
forwarddir.z = 1;
forwarddir.x = Random.Range(-inaccuracy, inaccuracy);
forwarddir.y = Random.Range(-inaccuracy / 2, inaccuracy / 2);
if (Physics.Raycast(cam.transform.position, locke.transform.TransformDirection(forwarddir), hit, range, hitlayers))...```sorry for the formatting lmao
but thats just how dusk code is
tranquil oracle
I'm pretty sure you could literally just do var direction = Camera.main.transform.forward + (Vector3)combatAngles[i]; for that line you posted
coarse token
Yeah, I was able to make random deviation work but fixed spread doesn't behave the same in my experience
keen bear
but basically, it just uses a local direction and uses TransformDirection
well dusk can use fixed spread if it feels like it, just makes inaccuracy a specific number
tranquil oracle
that timing code is a little flawed btw
keen bear
very
coarse token
the full 800 something lines with all the other 8 weapons I have is equally so, but the script I posted is just for trying to get these bloody raycasts to work
the timing code doesn't work at all right now I don't think
keen bear
use what zombie said basically
although obviously you dont need to use camera.main
could be any camera
tranquil oracle
Yeah
coarse token
I tried direction = Camera.main.transform.forward, but how do I add the combatAngles[i] to it?
It's normalized so it doesn't work, like I say this with near certainty, the simple solution didn't work
tranquil oracle
multiply by a quaternion
limber bramble
Vector3 direction = cam.transform.rotation * (transform.forward + (Vector3)offset);
tranquil oracle
^
where cam.transform.rotation can be combatAngles
(put through Quaternion.Euler)
coarse token
That's what I originally tried
Vector3 direction = transform.forward;
direction += combatAngles[i];
That would just do a component-wise add
tranquil oracle
It would treat the angle like a position if you add
coarse token
Holy what the it turns it into a position?
there went a week of debugging
thanks though, I'll see if I can't get it to work now
tranquil oracle

untested but that would probably work
put the component on your camera to test
coarse token
I'm going to test that after I play some Duskworld. Thanks again though
keen bear
there you go
thats basically exactly the code zombie posted
and theres the spread over many frames while rotating
unique trellis
added this to my old spread code, works like a charm ๐
tranquil oracle
If I were to improve the code, I'd make it so that it randomly negates the components so you don't need to manually include negative variants
keen bear
{
var dir = Quaternion.Euler(angles[i]) * transform.forward;
Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, dir, Color.blue, .16f, false);
}```yeah this is just simplest possible solution
tranquil oracle
yeah
keen bear
id also probably use a few spread presets because seeing the same pattern over and over is obnoxious
thank you for attending our ted talk
remember us when you make the best fps of all time
coarse token
Oh nooooo.
when I first started writing the script I had the same effect for spread, but it suffers from skewing again
This is what I was worried about tbh
@keen bear @tranquil oracle
This happens.
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q) && Time.time >= nextFireTime)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
RaycastHit hit = new RaycastHit();
Vector3 spreadAngle = Quaternion.Euler(combatAngles[i].x, combatAngles[i].y, 0f) * Camera.main.transform.forward;
if (Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.transform.position, spreadAngle, out hit, 100f))
{
print(hit.distance);
GameObject gameThing = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
gameThing.transform.position = hit.point;
gameThing.transform.localScale *= 0.1f;
}
}
I wrote this like a week ago and it does the same thing, both suffer from the same issue.
oh god copy paste formatting is so bad
Also, correction, I wrote part of this a week ago. I pasted the for loop bit into the most recent code.
tranquil oracle
hm
coarse token
I'm out of ideas tbh. I thought that adding a few degrees to a direction would be simple.
keen bear
@coarse token try this
make your angles a vector3, with the z val as like 1
and jsut do that
that should have zero skewing
coarse token
lemme test it out

if this works I'll literally buy dusk a second time

Now I get to make the fun stuff
like explosions and grenade launchers
Actually, after a week of messing with this stuff I'm going to study up on it and figure out what I can learn from it for the future
then the fun stuff
keen bear
grenade launchers are frustrating
also yeah
the thing to take away from this
3d math is a bitch
and its a reality of gameplay design
coarse token
what's so taxxing about grenade launchers?
I don't plan on any complex physics
the hardest physics thing was just realizing that the player parent object character controller wasn't rotating with regards to x, but the camera was. Caused a lot of funny, silly bugs, which i could actually see game concepts made out of
eg looking down and pressing "S" made you walk backwards straight into the air, or gravity would turn sideways
keen bear
well theres a lot of things to consider, like inheriting velocity, aiming arcs, etc
the physics of the actual projectile
theres a lot to it, and a million things to tune to get it to feel just right
unique trellis
trying to write good enough projectile code is hell
tidal fulcrum
BANDICAM
nimble socket
Looks neat, I can see potential, but is the spread RNG or can the player predict it, thus mastering the weapon in an intended way?
Either work depending on their design philosophy, but its pretty good looking ๐๐ป
unique trellis
the spread is 100% rng right now
planning on making it more predictable with some animation curves
the gun itself isnt supposed to rotate, but the bullets
olive dove
@unique trellis Nice. What engine do you use?
coarse token
Tbh a lot of my features start as bugs that I fix and then make a new thing entirely with
Slot 7 weapon is completely based upon a bug I created with quaternions.
unique trellis
I can definitely see repurposing this bug into a tool
unique trellis
Maybe a Bioshock Ironside kind of power up
coarse token
where do those bullets even spawn
unique trellis
They're actually spawning where a raycast hits the wall
I still haven't been able to replicate this bug
Also they will spawn about 20m from the camera's forward because that's the code that controls where projectiles go when there's no raycast hit
coarse token
If they're supposed to be projectiles, is the raycast for the collission?
unique trellis
The raycast is for detecting extacly where I want the projetile to face and launch to
I haven't implemented raycast collision detection for them yet
But I heard that it's taxing
coarse token
That's sort of the reason I went with hitscan weapons.
I'm questionning whether or not the crosshair, maincamera, or weapon models should be used for the projectile's origin though.
Maincamera origin looks weird but goes where the crosshair is, crosshair is way above the weapon models and seems to appear in thin air, and the weapon models are way below the crosshair even if they don't look weird firing from there
unique trellis
I usually do the start position as the gun barrel, and then use the raycast thing to make it look like it's shooting towards the center
If they're small enough you won't notice how it looks a bit odd when the bullets are coming out but unaligned with the gun
unique trellis
i've added some bullet trail effects, i dont think theyre really noticeable but they're there
i think im going to work on the custom raycast collision over using rigidbodies for the projectiles
nimble socket
That looks pretty darn good
rare surge
yea the trails are noticeable, they make it look a lot better
also get OBS instead of bandicam, will save you a lot of hassle recording

At least the video quality works for you. My laptop can't handle OBS and unity at the same time. It gets super low FPS, like this video: https://vimeo.com/user97751189/review/332284060/198d8ff46e
I managed to get grenade launcher physics down in about a day, and the disc launcher in far less. They need a lot of polish but that'll all be fine tuning and a refraction algorithm for the discs.
rare surge
coarse token
well I'm honestly not even concerned, the video was like 4 fps lmao. I can't stand editing on my desktop computer either since there is no invert mouse option. I'll make a proper link and video sometime if you are that interested though.
it was just uploaded so it might start working soon though
rare surge
na you dont have to, like you said its not worth for a 4fps video
whats the disc launcher btw, is it kinda like the ripper from unreal
coarse token
Yeah, I guess. It bounces off walls and what not a number of times and knocks enemies and other things around. I was too young to remember what the ripper was when UT was popular so I had to look it up.
My original plan for the disc launcher was actually just a rocket launcher, except the missle was a disc, and the explosion was a bunch of radioactive goop. Then I made the grenade launcher, and it became largely obsolete as a result.
rare surge
well a rocket launcher could still have use
like both grenade launcher and rocket launcher are useful in quake
coarse token
Nah, the grenade launcher explodes on contact, so it's basically just a rocket launcher that has the benefit of arcing projectiles. The alt fire is what you think of when you think grenade launcher
it's basically two in one.

@coarse token no, an indie game is a game that doesn't have a publisher and new blood interactive is a publisher

good stuff
near mortar
Well, indie is short for independent
Independent means no publisher
However there are certain situations where I'd say indie games can still have publishers to an extent like say devolver digital which seems to basically just let people make their games but simply gives them money to do the stuff they want. New Blood seems quite similar in that regard but I think Dave steps in for changes enough that it probably means they don't quite count despite having a similar spirit.

Publishers financially back game developers so as to give them a budget to work with
In exchange typically publishers take massive control over the games to please investors and crap

nimble socket
Personally I would recommend having the lighting and wall textures be different to create natural contrast in the environments and make the visual information more readable, I`d say use use of a single dominant colour sparringly, I just think there is a little too much purple in the clip, but I have literally only seen 3 rooms, so I cant judge, you got more sweet promo material tho? Game looks fun to play eitherway. Dont think Im trying to be smart, just giving my input.
viscid sandal
@nimble socket the wall textures are grey its just the lighting but there's a bit more variation in certain rooms, one thing we have yet to do yet is make the enemies pickups and stuff more distinct as due to the way unity is handling how lighting is interacting with them they look a bit to dark and don't pop out enough.
Another thing though and this may be a result of the video quality but everything kind of mushes together in that video more than in the actual game.

Ah, fair enough, yeah, thats an unfortunate thing, but besides that, it looks great, im just mentioning it because a whole level of solid purple would get visually unappealing after extended periods and as mentioned make it harder to identify enemies, I think a great example of vibrant colours in environments would be no one lives forever, but then again, much more basic lighting, I just wish you luck in finding a way to get the lighting engine to do what you wish it to, because everything else is nice, add a bit of verticality maybe [which im sure you already have plenty of] and your set.
