[silver venture]

you mean like having zones within a game area?

but 10000 KM will not have any precision problem right? I don't need more

[wispy pivot]

By 10000km you mean 10000000 units right?

[silver venture]

1 meter = 1 unit I guess

[wispy pivot]

Most games have issues already between 5000-10000 units from the center

[silver venture]

I could reduce the scale of my assets?

[wispy pivot]

Not really zones, it's like you move the entire world so the zone you are in is close to the center

[wispy pivot]

You'll have the same issue

In the end is a matter of how much information you can save in 32 bits

[silver venture]

I see

[vital harbor]

i heard of games loosing accuracy when dealing with object far away from the centre of the Instance / world , especially space sim game and flight sim games

shooters have also that problem on longer maps / sight-lines

[cold onyx]

Has there been a case of a popular indie game using assets from the asset store? Or do all of them make their own assets?

[cold onyx]

Also as to clear up possible confusion, I mean art only. Animations and such

My worry is that it'll make my game feel poorly "packaged"

[vital harbor]

some things i think yes, like bushes and crates , especially if it is an early experiment or a low budget production

[cold onyx]

Right. I've seen people say they used cheap or free assets to get the game out and once they got revenue they updated the graphics. I'm currently using a free asset package for development but I don't want to make too many levels since I'm gonna switch it out eventually

[glad yoke]

hi guys , i’m working on a « tactical top down extraction shooter » if i can call it that way ( later it’s gonna be multiplayer pvp , at least I hope so ), to make it quick its a wasd top down shooter with fog , i made it so you can see around yourself in the fog , now i’m trying to make a flashlight to reveal the fog in a sector in front of you , but i’m wondering, what angle should the sector be , do you have any suggestions ?

[cinder hamlet]

just go test it and see what works best

also you shouldn't bother with multiplayer development at all, until you're already pretty decent and singleplayer

[prisma loom]

Hello i have question. Where find good texture for terrain paint. I need stone sidewalk

[sudden pendant]

The internet, as is the answer to all these "where to find ___" questions.

You can start with the Unity asset store.

[prisma loom]

Thank you... ☺️

[coral adder]

what do you people think is the reason for most games being designed around having 5 characters on a team?
most popular mobile games do this,
lol, dota, cs:go do this and there are tons of examples.
Is there some kind of logic behind this or is it random?

[sudden pendant]

At this point, mainly because it's a standard. The original reason is probably a balance in gameplay but also matchmaking.

[vocal kestrel]

They multiplayer game I had on mind would have three players.

But the only multiplayer thing I've made was a pong clone, so that idea is way out of scope

[rocky summit]

anyone have names of really appealing/stylized 3d unity games

[late vapor]

jazzpunk

[ocean stratus]

Tunic, Death’s Door

[vital swan]

Sable!

[bleak moat]

Tunic, Rollerdrome, Outer Wilds, Subnautica

Firewatch

Also if just looking for style I would not limit myself to only looking at unity games

[proud sluice]

Lethal League Blaze

[vital swan]

And for a 2D/3D blend, Disco Elysium

[vocal kestrel]

I love outer wilds and Subnautica

Ori and the will of the wisps is 2.5d as well

[vital swan]

Ori is a great shout

[faint burrow]

Ori is beautiful

[slow gyro]

anyone got ideas for a good game i cant seem to find a new game to work on

[vocal kestrel]

Try one of those silly idea generator things

[slow gyro]

ok lets what ill have

[manic wind]

make a game where the objective is to make a game

[slow gyro]

bro i didnt know that mind blowing

[severe burrow]

then how about making a game where you make a game in which you make a game

[slow gyro]

like i make a game where in the game you are making a game

[north vector]

Is it possible to find anyone to make 3d models for me? I have a base model

[midnight cargo]

Hello everyone,
My name is Aryan Saraswat. Recently I have completed my bachelor's degree in Game Design and Development and aiming to be a Game Designer. Right now I can't understand what company wants and what should I do in particular to get a job, so I needed little help and guidance with this. Kindly review my portfolio/resume and give your honest feedback on it, including do's & don'ts, where to improve and where to cut/stop. I will really appreciate all your help.

[tiny marsh]

i need to design a better gui layout this looks like shit

[cinder hamlet]

it looks fine to me

[austere gate]

Hey guys. Is transform considered a bad way to move characters vs adding force?

[snow nacelle]

moving via the transform does not respect collisions/physics. so you'd have to implement those checks yourself to prevent penetrating other colliders. moving via Rigidbody or CharacterController (if 3d since CC doesn't work correctly for 2d) is preferred over moving via transform so that you don't have to implement those checks yourself

[austere gate]

Okay thank you.

I'm going to rewrite to addforce because my zombies keep walking on top of my player

[hollow token]

im starting a project in both unity 2022 and the latest unreal engine and my discords lagging just a little lol

i enabled ray tracing for my unreal project

i guess this is a great performance test for my rtx 3060

i started the unity one later and unity is already done lol

[thin carbon]

Is jsfxr sounds for free use even after I publish my game?

how did you get enemies to spawn

...what

Its a picture drawn in ms paint

But youd use instantiate

[analog crater]

Hi, I have a very stupid question

what do you call a scored based game in videogames? in contrast to Deathmatch?

[vital swan]

Probably just score-based or arcade

[analog crater]

Yeah I was thinking about Score_based but does not quite have the same ring as deathmatch

[analog crater]

SCORED MATCH?

[cinder hamlet]

you mean, something like deathmatch except the win is decided by score points instead of kill amount?

[vocal kestrel]

It would depend on the game, and how points are scored I suppose

[night shoal]

Not a game design question. Ask in #💻┃unity-talk

[umbral basalt]

th x

I will send there

[faint burrow]

deathmatch..

[subtle blaze]

all games in a way i guess are score based. but chess say can be won by the lower "scoring" player because the win condition is finite. I believe the general world wide accepted term for a game who's winner is determined by score is: Sport

[tawny canyon]

how do i tell the player about a relatively mundane yet central and integral mechanic of a game without telling them outright

the game will be mainly about growing a plant for a variety of purposes, but most importantly, how much youve grown the plant determines game progression, so it is very important that the player learns the correlation there

if i make the plant be in the center of the starting room, and make every other feature (combat, the generator, consumables, secrets,ect) blocked until they grow the plant enough, will they remember to keep growing the plant after they unlock everything else? (the ending is achieved by growing the plant to its max growth state)

if i have an announcer directly tell them about the mechanic, will it seem to forced?

How can i naturally nudge them towards learning this very important central mechanic without forcing them to?

[steep umbra]

Depending on how obvious you want it, you could basically make a small cut scene the first (couple of) time the plant grows to show that it grows and then show what it unlocked, such as a door or the character going through their attack animation or whatever

[real sky]

Little Shop of Horrors, the video game.

[vocal kestrel]

What?

Actually in real life I get mad at people when they ask one word questions, and here I am doing it now!

[real sky]

they are talking about a game of feeding a plant and it grows bigger.. kind of the basic plot of this classic musical play that was made into a movie. @vocal kestrel

[true river]

If I were to create a game thats similar to the game made in Roblox but using my own assets, would that make it kind of illegal or not? I guess in that way I'm only using their idea/getting inspired by the idea?

[cinder hamlet]

what is the roblox game like and what is your game like?

like, what's the differences between the two

[true river]

would be more versatile than the roblox game*

[cinder hamlet]

First of all, making a multiplayer game as a beginner is a bad idea, and probably impossible due to the learning curve

[true river]

I'm not a beginner xD I did multiplayer before

[cinder hamlet]

in unity?

[true river]

Yes

[cinder hamlet]

alright good

well, doors seems like the kind of game you can easily make something similar to without it being a copy

[true river]

I can make the game I'm just worried about copying the game accidentally by making it maybe too similar

Its basically just going into rooms, getting scared and doing simple puzzles

[cinder hamlet]

typical indie horror game

[true river]

Its inspired by the game from steam called Spookys Jump Scare Mansion

[cinder hamlet]

you don't have to worry about that now

[true river]

You think so?

[cinder hamlet]

yes, especially if you change the gameplay loop a bit

so for example instead of going through 100 doors, it's more like searching a house

[true river]

Yup changing the gameplay loop a bit would make it feel different

[tawny canyon]

(didnt notice he pointed out that its inspired by spookys jumpscare mansion)

[tawny canyon]

so i should have like a cutscene of the plant growing and a door opens or something to immediately unlock something and show correlation between said unlockable?

actually that might work, especially if the door opens to reveal a watering can or something

[true river]

Yup in the description!

[cold onyx]

It doesn’t matter as long you don’t use any assets they use

[true river]

Thats what I was thinking! Thank you!

[zealous pollen]

An interesting idea I had for a way to make turn based combat a bit more involved, while still maintaining its heavily strategic elements, is making the speed difference between an enemy and the player determine the amount of time they had to select their actions

[analog briar]

i'm wondering, in moving vehicles with turrets is it common for the projectiles it fires to change speed based on where you're pointing to keep the lead u need to have on your target consistent?

[mossy rover]

Hello everybody! Tell me sites or youtube channels where you can learn about level design

[cinder hamlet]

have a look at yt Game Maker's Toolkit, he makes great game design videos, including level design too

[dull stratus]

and also watch talks at GDC, they share very valuable information

[zealous pollen]

Design Doc, Adam Millard - The Architect of Games, and Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games are all great for general video game design stuff

[zealous pollen]

I second this, best YouTube channel that covers level design IMO. He has a lot of videos breaking down dungeon and level design techniques for different games

[vocal kestrel]

In a game where the player is a light, should enemies be black light removing blobs, or differently colored lights? In your opinion.

[cinder hamlet]

different colored lights gives you more options

maybe agar.io style

[vocal kestrel]

What do you mean?

[vocal kestrel]

Maybe I'll have both. Like various types of normal enemies are lights, and bosses/story related enemies or whatever are black things

[vivid depot]

lol

[untold crest]

[granite prism]

Hey, I'm working on a 2D metroidvania, that has a melee combo system with branching combo paths (Light and heavy attacks mixed results in different results... ex: Light > Light > Heavy, or LLLH, or LLL^H)

heres a little example of that: (dont mind the character sprite changing, Im currently in the middle of making new animations for them)
https://giant.gfycat.com/CraftyDistantHornshark.mp4

now, when you are in the Light combo chain, you can't move, you're locked in place... however, I have this... if you start attacking while holding run first, you can do a running 1-2 chain
(currently it looks like sliding because I have not seperated the legs and upper body animations)

You can also heavy attack out of the running combo chain, and you'll do heavy2 (the dash slash) if you're holding forwards, or heavy1 (the hop back slash) if you let go of a direction before pressing heavy

I think its pretty smoothly integrated, however, I'm considering removing it

does anyone have any thoughts on this?
The reason I'm considering removing it is that it doesn't work very well with how my enemies are designed, and the poise system I want to implement... more often then not its used by mistake by me when play testing, and I up running into the enemies body hurtbox... or when I do use it intentionally, it feels a little overpowered, because I can just running slash -> dash slash through everything, or running light slash -> back hop over and over for a safe attack

https://giant.gfycat.com/FittingDistantBrontosaurus.mp4

its cool, but feels a bit too strong... makes the game feel too easy

[sudden pendant]

Give it a cooldown?

Also, maybe not require it to be part of an already moving forward combo, to avoid running into things. It should feel snappy and responsive above all else.

[granite prism]

the running slash is the thing I'm considering removing

not the dash slash per say

as weird as it is, this feels better to me: (you can mash slow and walk forward a little between hits in the chain without dropping the combo)

https://giant.gfycat.com/WelldocumentedLateBird.mp4

this is the running slash more clearly
https://giant.gfycat.com/PotableRightGrayfox.mp4

its the ability to run and light attack at the same time

[sudden pendant]

The first gif is nice. I can see the running slash being annoying if you can't stop it mid animation.

[granite prism]

you can stop it mid animation, and there is no delay if you want to stop moving and instantly hop backwards, you just hit heavy with no direction held

you can give it a try and feel it for yourself if you want

https://orikalin.itch.io/project-kobolds-tale

no download needed, plays in browser

current build is using old attack animations though

[sudden pendant]

Am on mobile at the moment, sorry

[granite prism]

ah ok, no worries

[sudden pendant]

But regarding moving forward, it does probably feel slightly out of control. Maybe the player can move themselves, just at a walking speed when forming those heavy attacks.

[granite prism]

look into version control. I use github desktop

[granite prism]

the problem is its TOO MUCH control

[sudden pendant]

Counter it with difficult enemies

[granite prism]

it feels better to me when you have to stop moving to attack

[sudden pendant]

If the heavy attacks knock the enemy back slightly, it would give reason for the player to move forward as they're swinging, giving my weight to the attack.

[granite prism]

I want ti implement a poise system on my enemies that works like this:
enemy has hidden poise value, every attack does a specific poise damage... when you hit an enemy, they wont flinch unless you reduce their poise to 0... and once they do flinch, they will gain super armor afterwards, and attack, so you only have a small window to spam attacks

the running slash doesnt really work with this system, cause you'll just end up running into the enemy, or you can just ignore the poise system and spam L-> back hop slash, or L->dash slash

[sudden pendant]

Hence a cooldown, or have the poise block dashes. The player gets stopped.

[granite prism]

I think a cooldown is a bad idea, it will lead to frustration when the player tries to do the attack, and it doesnt come out, leading to them getting hit

bad game feel

this is the issue Im talking about though:
https://giant.gfycat.com/SlushyExcellentBluemorphobutterfly.mp4

its just a bit too strong

and lets you kind of ignore any danger the enemies pose

keep in mind, you can still do both of these attacks without the running slash

they are Light Heavy, and Light Light Heavy combos

but having to stop and attack first just works better I think... and needing to do two lights before the dash slash makes it a bit less overpowered

[sudden pendant]

In my mind it's completely separate.

Light attacks, heavy attacks and dashing. Just remove dashing from the combo system entirely and let it be a weak attack that lets the player reposition (and also to move quickly around the map when not in combat).

[granite prism]

also to be clear: you can stop moving on a dime when doing the running slash

[sudden pendant]

Then have the enemies stop the dashing of you bump into them while they're shielded/poised.

[granite prism]

oh yea, this is intentional speed run tech, to move fast before you unlock the dash 😛
https://giant.gfycat.com/KindSophisticatedAustraliancurlew.mp4

I still want that dash attack to be in there, but its going to be an unlockable heavy attack, not something you start the game with

heres the other thing: the running light attacks clash a little with the combo system....

example scenario: your close up with an enemy, and you want to do Light Light forward Heavy combo
but you hold forward too early, and end up doing running slash, and running into the enemy

without the running slash, you can just be holding forward before starting the light combo, and it will work as expected

and that just feels better to me

I think I will remove it, thank you for joining this conversation, even though it was mostly me talking through my own thought process, it has helped me decide on a course of action

[zealous pollen]

Quick game idea I had: Alternative history game where you controlled an army in a historical war, and control units through a turn based combat system like fire emblem or XCOM. Units/generals could be lost in perma death. Each level would be a famous battle from said war. Different "alternate history" endings would be given based on which battles were won/lost, and which units/generals were lost

Completely outside of the scope of what I could create, just sharing the idea I had because I thought it was pretty cool

[late vapor]

I think you just made c&c: red alert @zealous pollen

well, except rts vs turn based

never mind then

[zealous pollen]

And isn't red alert already set in an alt history world? This game would start in normal history, and transition to alt history

[thorn thistle]

making a 3d fighting game, anyone know any good templates for a base class for all the characters?

[ivory otter]

Do you have a good Game Design Document?

@thorn thistle

[thorn thistle]

Uh not really. I’m still thinking of ideas and stuff for the game so I wanted to have a template that I can add onto in the future

Mainly just looking to see if there’s a template for housing the controls, attributes, states, stuff like that. I’m kind of new to this stuff so I just wanted some additional input to see what other people have done

[fast pasture]

I had a game idea for a bit now

It could essentially be summed up as Space Americans vs Interdimensional Lovecraftian Automatons that feed off soul energy

[ivory otter]

Definitely create a game design document with all of the stuff you want and are interested in first. This step breaks down your project into manageable chunks. Put everything you wrote there into it and after you are satisfied with it, tackle the game step by step that is laid out to you in your game design document.

[ivory otter]

That sounds neat! Although I wonder what a "Space American" looks like 🤣

[fast pasture]

Think of a stereotypical patriotic American soldier

But in space

Guns, cheeseburgers, and f r e e d o m

[ivory otter]

It would be funny to have health recovery items be cheeseburgers

[fast pasture]

That’s exactly what I was thinking lmao

[ivory otter]

So would your game be a boss rush style game?

I'd recommend writing all your ideas for the project into a game design document so when you have gone through the tutorials you'll have the skills to develop your game with a handy guide available to you!

[fast pasture]

With doom paced combat :D

Just speed fighting hordes of enemies through a large gauntlet

[fast pasture]

Great idea! That’s gonna help a lot in the future!

I also wanna implement a bestiary that logs enemies and bosses you kill
I feel like that concept is really good and pretty underused in general

[ivory otter]

Write that down! It sounds like a good idea.

[fast pasture]

[timid egret]

bruh I have a really great game idea of a 2d action packed roguelike with a time travel storyline and prestige layers and lots of progression, but I can't even figure out why having about 50 enemies is lagging the game so bad.

its my first 2 weeks using unity

so far I've gotten player movement, camera follow, enemy spaw, collecting coins, and player and enemy health and death

[cold onyx]

klk

[sleek phoenix]

its almost as if ideas don't actually mean anything if you can't execute them

[timid egret]

I might just drop that idea and make an Idle clicker game

that don't actually require movement

cause movement and physics in Unity is too complicated

too laggy

[sleek phoenix]

probably a better project for a beginner yes

[winter zealot]

Whats your pc specs

[fast pasture]

I made a theme for my game idea

What do you guys think?

[wanton wadi]

I think its nice! idk why but when on 0:30 it remembers me a bit of some Mario game i've playied when i was younger

very blank memories but makes me feel good 🙂

[fast pasture]

Thanks! :D

Hello I have a question which one do you think I should make Party Game like Mario Party, VR Party Game like Mario Party, FPS game, or VR FPS game

[ancient sphinx]

Hello guys, a question: Could you give me a good control layout for a 2D platformer game where the player can move, jump and use 4 moves?

for the standard pad and/or a keyboard?

[fiery coral]

I have a question how do I make like a hotel/room.
Making a landlord game having problem making a room

[glass river]

whats this art style called? not low polly but like fantasy? non realistic? genshin impact style

like this fantasy setting. i really want to make games that look like this. so what should i google to find these type of assets

[full musk]

probably anime / stylised / low poly will all yield some decent results

alternatively if you search "ghibli style assets" on youtube or google there are some pretty similar results

I’m actually getting somewhere with my project :D

So far i’ve gotten my camera AND player to actually move when I use the keys and stuff

Dave /GameDevelopment’s tutorial is great

[obsidian jolt]

Hey there!
I have some form of idea of what I want to do for a game but I would like to hear your input's on how I could improve it.

I want to design a couch co-op game, based around the idea of running a postal service/parcel delivery system. I want all the players to work together in order to sort packages, get them onto the right trucks at the right times and so on- however I need to give the idea and core gameplay mechanics a lot more depth to actually make it interesting to play.
I'm thinking that I may want to make it play somewhat along the lines of Overcooked, but even then I don't quite know how to make it interesting.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, and please ping me with any suggestions you have :D

[steep umbra]

So something like KeyWe?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1242980/KeyWe

[obsidian jolt]

Uh kinda? I've had a look at that but I was thinking with less craziness

A thought I've had could be having to try and create your own sorting system w/ your friends, so rather than packages just kind of showing up on a shelf, you can get a main delivery but then have to decide where to put it, you could then maybe have some walk in collections which you have to be able to locate quickly before the customer get's upset?

idk thats just a thought

[fast pasture]

WOOOO I FINALLY GOT MY CHARACTER TO BE ABLE TO JUMP

Now the movement is nearly complete!

I’m considering on wether I wanna add a wallrun feature

Or something

Actually maybe I should try crouch first

That might come in handy against AI somehow

[fast pasture]

I wonder if my game should have human-ish soldier models for the player character team

Or just be funny capsules with military armor while the enemies have humanoid-ish looks

[fast pasture]

I seem to have accidentally created a sprint ability

Now movement is complete I guess lmao

[cinder hamlet]

Cartoony maybe

[glass river]

Yeah, Ive been hearing this and stylized . Pretty hard to find specific tutorials and assets tho

[fast pasture]

What does anyone else think?

[cinder hamlet]

capsules will be easier to make

[fast pasture]

Yeahhh I got the coding for capsules done anyway

Settled then

For the humor factor the player and the allied team are all Capsules

[fast pasture]

Stereotypical American Patriot beans vs Sinister Automatons of Lovecraftian origin

[fierce dove]

Anyone have any good ideas to start your first 2D-game, for beginners?

(Please ping, if you do respond)

[pine sleet]

making Threes! for your phone is a good one

[pine sleet]

"toon" is the broad name. there's also "bubblegum" which is the cutesier version

[static reef]

Yo!

Anyone here?

[fierce dove]

Yes

[static reef]

Yo which genre would you choose for a text based game adventure!

?

[cinder hamlet]

that's up to you

any of them really, just choose what audience you want to make it for

[static reef]

Audience would be a book reader

[cinder hamlet]

what kind of book reader

people like different genres

[static reef]

Fantasy one

[cinder hamlet]

then make a fantasy text-based game

[static reef]

But I would make a sci-fi mystery game

Cause I love space and stuff

Plus the story would be insane. Its gonna epic adventure and a lot of choices that will affect the game

[small moon]

So what would be the ideal state machine for an FPS

wait maybe this wouldnt be the place to ask that question

[late vapor]

what does state machine mean in this context?

[small moon]

player movement

Actually i think there could be: Grounded Movement, Air Movement, Sliding, Crouching, Swiming

[late vapor]

well, depends on the movement mechanics. Tlthe most basic is just planar movement and jumping

I type slow on mobile, you beat me to it

[small moon]

But if you wanted like classic boomer shooter movement, these would be the ones

[late vapor]

In my fps, the most noteable thing about it is that you can execute a dive by jumping and crouching while in midair

once that is executed, the player is basically locked into the crouch state until the player is grounded again

I don't prevent my player from jumping while crouched (as long as they're grounded)

when underwater, crouching and jumping should probably be restricted

depending on what you want, you can prevent crouch jumping or jumping while crouched

that's basically it

for a boomer shooter, movement should ideally be very unrestrictive. It's quite fun to have as much control as possible, and for bonus points, hardcode movement exploits

[small moon]

Yeah i was trying to think of what kind of state machine would work best

[late vapor]

do you even need one?

[small moon]

Prevents spaghetti code irrc

[late vapor]

parameters could be:
IsGrounded
IsSwimming
IsJumping
IsCrouching

not grounded when jumping or swimming
not grounded, jumping, or crouching when underwater
can't jump or crouch when underwater

can't jump while crouched (if you want)

[small moon]

See i know know of two types of state machines, Finite, and Hierarchical

the later sounds a bit complex

[late vapor]

can't crouch while jumping (if you want)

can't jump when not grounded *

can't slide when crouching/jumping/swimming, etc. you get the idea

[wraith socket]

At my work they asked me to develop a kids educational game (10-14 y/o).
The concept is about 3 travellers who walked the same river in different eras and described the same location with similar or different descriptions due to the fact that a river changes its shape over time.

Their simple idea is to select one of the three mini games and just show the character and some texts about their journey where the user will read like a book with a next button.
In the end of the texts there will be some multiple questions.

I believe this is boring but there is not so much time. I have around a week and the art team haven't gave me the artwork yet..

Anyways, do you guys have any ideas around that concept?
Maybe a river map with a path that is getting filled as the pages go on?

For the more technical stuff, I suppose that I will make the whole thing just Ui based with each button to enable the new page, but I saw a Timeline option is this the appropriate method?

Thanks in advance

[fast pasture]

HAHA

I DID IT

My gun model works in Unity and I figured out bloom!!

[feral mountain]

Thats basic stuff, i mean congrats but thats a very small step

[fast pasture]

Yeah it is

[feral mountain]

Wish i had problems that small / easy lmao

[fast pasture]

But i’m celebrating the fact that I actually created a model without screwing up lmao

This is the 3rd proper gun model i’ve made so far :)

[feral mountain]

im curently stuck on clientside prediction with mirror

[fast pasture]

oof

[feral mountain]

ive seen videos and help but its more complicated then it seems

also its not just prediction its also remerging the position he actually took

maybe i should scrap that all together and just do no prediction, i think thats better for a shooter anyways

not that it predicts you moving further then you actually do and you get hit even tho youre behind cover

cuz the server would have to check if the current position is true, but i have no server i have a host since i use peer 2 peer over steam

[fast pasture]

I’m just working on a singleplayer PVE game so the only MASSIVE hurdle i’d have to go over is AI

Which is really, really hard

If all goes swell most of my other issues shouldn’t be too big

[feral mountain]

Ai is pretty easy imo, but thats maybe cuz its more logical to me then these networking stuff

[fast pasture]

Besides the actual campaign scripting of course-

[fast pasture]

I’ve only scratched the surface of scripting so it’s a long dive for me lmao

I’ve only gotten the gun model and basic movement down so far

[feral mountain]

if in range move towards but keep distance, sprinkle in a bit of random behavior, give him the objective to fire at you if line of sight is clear

idk video game ai is pretty easy if you break it down

[fast pasture]

True
It’s just the scripting that intimidates me lmao

I wanna add a couple of different types of enemies to encounter

Basic ranged units, flying drones, small spider bots, stationary turrets, large spider walkers, yk the gist

[feral mountain]

i would make a basic enemie class that you can choose the type of enemy from a dropdown in the unity editor and then drop that on the enemie

but i just like to put way too much code in one file

[fast pasture]

For enemies I just gotta make the models, animations, and AI luckily

Weapons is where it gets complicated because I wanna do something like Halo

The player gets three weapon slots to swap

Weapons can be picked up on the battlefield and such

The problem with that is I gotta make a weapon swap and enemy weapon drop script

I’ve seen that visual scripting seems easier than writing down code manually
I just don’t get it though lmao

[vocal kestrel]

@fast pasture it may be from 2005, but this book is very useful.

[cyan oracle]

Hey there folks! Is it generally a better idea for a settings menu to be a separate scene from the main menu, or is it better practice to include all of my menus as part of the main menu?

I'm not sure, I just want to make sure I keep everything organized from the start the best I can.

Would it be a better idea to group each menu screen under separate parent game objects?

Oh well I guess you pretty much answered that before I finished, thank you very much!

Hi, does anyone have any advice on how I can be an effective team lead for a dev team of 5-7 people? I am participating in a game jam and I want to be able to make things run as smoothly as possible.

[lilac plinth]

clear task distribution

and recognize which members or teams are progressing slower than expected for whatever reason and try to account for it by redistribution of some members from faster than expected teams.

also your job is to manage that the work runs smoothly but not direct everything in the game, so try to spend time in the beginning to discuss ideas from all members so that motivation is high and everyone feels they work on something they can call theirs in the end. Let room for creativity for each team as well and make sure when a team decides to change something that all teams that are effected know about that change

[obtuse pier]

ok so i have an idea for a game where its kinda like hotline miami in terms of movement, aiming, art style, etc. but its literally just dodgeball

any ideas for how i should go about trying to make it?

i figured its a pretty simple thing that i could gradually improve based on feedback as i improve

[obtuse pier]

rn im waiting on unity to get done unity-ing or smth

[granite prism]

Hey so, I'm trying to make melee combat in my 2D metroidvania more interesting. There wasn't much interplay between the player attacking and the enemy attacking previously, other than giving the enemies super armor when they attack.
Now, I've implemented a basic poise system. All attacks have a poise damage value, and enemies all have poise totals.

When you attack an enemy, they wont be hit stunned unless you do enough poise damage to break their poise, and they do still get super armor, but only during a short time in their attack animations

after they attack, they are reduced to 0 poise

a short time after reaching 0, their poise will return to full, and they will attempt to attack again

If you'd like to actually try this system, I have a web build and several downloadable builds on my itch page here https://orikalin.itch.io/project-kobolds-tale

but, I need some feedback on this system, I still feel like the combat is lacking and I'm not sure what to do to make it more fun and interesting

[astral knot]

i make a game where if you where killed by an enemy you will become the enemy and get his powers. but the thing is, how can i make the player try to survive, to not die

a twist

so he would try to survive longer

The more power you get the less health you have in total

And you can only die a certain number of times

Probably

hello! i got a task from my uni course to create a game level (not an entire game, literally just a single level), however the deadline is in 7 days. ive got all the designs down, and i know what i want to do. however, im not experienced in unity at all and im struggling to figure out where i even begin to ask questions on how to use this program. specifically tile palettes. even the things i knew about the program, theyre not working now and ive no idea what to do honestly. if theres a specific channel i can ask about this, id highly appreciate it! thank you ❤️

[bronze phoenix]

Question not sure if anyone would know here. I have a game outline, story and characters all made up BUT I wanted to know if it can be like Valorant or Overwatch. It follows the same theme of an fps with abilities. Does anyone know if I'd be able to produce this or would they come after me for that style?

My store, characters and abilities are different then what they have

[sleek phoenix]

If they could go after you for that blizzard would have sued riot long ago

[cinder hamlet]

are you sure youre even capable of making a game of such size? These games were made by companies with hundreds of employees

[astral knot]

in my game when the player gets killed by the enemy he will beacome the enemy and gain his powers, tho i don't know what ability to give the player at the start of the game

it's a shooter btw

the enemies just shoot different and have different guns

[cinder hamlet]

basic shooting

without anything special

[halcyon remnant]

im so dumb

i made a vr game but theres no gravity 🤦‍♂️

so your just stuck in the air

[astral knot]

should i let the enemy move like this /

?

[vocal kestrel]

The moving through the player bit seems odd

[astral knot]

how about this

[vocal kestrel]

Obviously this is just a prototype, but have you ever heard of object pooling?

[astral knot]

object pooling ?

[vocal kestrel]

When you have something you use over and over again, like a projectile, it's very inefficient to repeatedly instantiate and destroy them. Object pooling is a (insert good explanation here [I can't think of a good way to explain it, even though it's quite simple. Go ask Google]) @astral knot

[astral knot]

how about, the enemy to have a reload time

that it won't make it so repetitive

[astral knot]

ok, i got it, i will do it later

[winter zealot]

does anyone have any good psx styled horror game tutorials on yt or something?

[astral knot]

what do you think of the enemy behavior

in the vid the enemies where also jumping when they were close to each other, fixed that also, so could you give me some tips on how they enemies shoot and how the player changes characters when he dies ?

ok so I have a 2d topdown game in progress, the game has 2 rooms(in the same scene) does anybody know how would I make one room darker when the player is not currently in that room?

then lighter when he enters and vise versa

[cold onyx]

HALO longsword assualt

Next is gonna be Halo Starship wars

[dusky bobcat]

ontriggerenter and ontriggerexit, on enter do that it enables the light, on exit that it disables, you could also just put a light on the player

and if you arent using 2d lights than do same with triggers and just put a black layer on top of each room that you will again, enable/disable

[glad yoke]

do you guys have any tips on finding a good name for my game ?

[astral knot]

play with the words, get your main mechanic of the game, or, find a theme that fits your game and build a name

or just name your game, like untitled shooting game,

idk just saying

[vast hill]

Very broad question. How is lifesteal balanced in games usually? Seems like healing from damage dealt is op. What are common ways to balance it?

[glad yoke]

they don’t add it or they make it a very low amount

depends on the game also

[spare belfry]

its either temporary or heals a insignificant amount of hp

and if its not both

then your enemies might need a chance to oneshot

idk

[shut mesa]

Bloodborne has a pretty dope life steal mechanic - activates when taking damage and for a limited time. The effect is encouraging more aggressive play.

[vast hill]

Thanks all for your input!

[vocal kestrel]

You could make it so that you have to stay still, or lose armor, or something when you do it

[granite prism]

Hey so, Im mulling over changes to the magic and mana system in my game. Its a 2D metroidvania with an in depth melee combo system consisting of branching combos of Light attacks and heavy finishers.

I also have a magic system where you input spells to prepare them, and cast using mana.
these two systems intersect by opening up new melee combo branches depending on what element you have prepared.

At the moment, the magic system is a bit unbalanced and Im trying to address that...

the problem: currently you regen just enough mana to use an elemental spell, but this leads players to resort to using only magic once they get the first spell...

my proposed solution to this is to lower the max amount of mana you regen (and have it be raiseable by equipment or upgrades later)

but this presents a new problem: there currently isn't a way to get rid of your prepared elemental spell, aside from getting hit (which I plan to change to a two-hit system, rather than losing it in one hit)

so I need a way for the player to drop their spell that doesn't involve adding a new dedicated button, and is easy to understand and interact with.

my end solution looks like this:
-Lower max regenerated mana to just enough to use 1-2 basic non elemntal spells
-Change the way the player gets mana outside of regen (currently, you get mana when hitting enemies, but I want to change it to enemies dropping orbs on death that vacuum to the player and restore mana)
-In places like boss/mini boss fights, have either the boss generate mana orbs when attacked, or have environmental things to attack to get mana (ex: boss slams, causing rocks to fall from the ceiling... one of the fallen rocks will be a condensed mana crystal that sticks around and can be attacked to generate mana orbs)
-If the player has an elemental spell prepared and tries to cast it with not enough mana, let the cast happen, but consume the readied spell?

Looking for opinions on this.

[pine fiber]

I have some ideas regarding that

1. Have the enemy drop mana orbs but lower the chance of it drops. This may lead to player farming certain place but it will make player do more physical combat
2. Remove mana regen and rely on environment for mana orb drop
3. Have the magic input be one time use and the mana bar need to be refilled completely before manually inputting new spells (kind of like a talisman) or add the bit where later in the game the player can put recipe of certain spells instead of inputting the spell manually

[fiery onyx]

As for boss fights I like the idea of environmental mana resources, it kinda reminds me of cuphead and the pink object system. Having environmental sources of mana allows players to keep getting mana from bosses without it spewing from bosses like confetti or relying on a bunch of adds in the arena to regen it.

[novel trellis]

Hello all, we want to collaborate with my friend in a game project using Gitlab, but game file size too much to upload web. Do you recommend something about it?

[oak wind]

Dudes, could you help me? I would like to know about the rules of task assignment in oxygen not included. A blog, technical documents, papers
For example how does it decide to send a duplicant to a destination to dig for example. Because the task can be finished before they reach. Does it calculate the duration of traveling and compare it to required construction time?
Another question, I have changed the priority of building a ladder to higher value (7) and digging has the lower priority (5) but they dig even the priority is lower and so on.
or a duplicant has lower priority to build but they build while others are digging

[viral remnant]

you can share project, code etc through gitlab and large assets somewhere else?

[granite prism]

so I implemented the changes I talked about yesterday:

-Enemies no longer give mana on hit
-Enemies drop mana orbs on death of various sizes
-The notch on the mana bar moves to show you how much mana your readied spell will cost
-The line on the mana bar shows you your natural regen cap
-If you try to cast an elemental spell without enough mana, it will still be cast, but it will consume your prepared spell and whatever mana you have left, and the notch will flash red
-If you try to cast the basic spell with less than 5 mana, it will just fail and the notch will flash red

[silk sedge]

What you guys think are great AI based game project ideas?

[proven bluff]

Does pathfinding count as ai?

[silk sedge]

Yes

[broken dirge]

Depends. If you want to showcase programming skills then A*, your own behaviour trees, your own GOAP ai, your own Minimax with AlphaBeta prunning.
If you want to showcase your "design" skills for enemy AI then probably you want to be using behavior trees. Combine a framewok for behavior trees (such as Node Canvas) and probably go for a 2D or top down boss fight or stealth type game as those are the hardest to get right 🤔 I would say.

Reading it again I am not sure I got your question right. Specify it more if I did not.

[vocal kestrel]

It would heavily depend on the gameplay

[silk sedge]

No you are on point. I am thinking of an rts game ai or a stealth 2d game

Tho the ai aspect in a stealth game is more based on a set of rules rather than AI strategising on it own

[manic wind]

Do you like orienteering in video games?

Nevermind lol

[gentle fossil]

um ok? googling shows the same thing as hiking so what's the difference ?

[manic wind]

Sure hikin

[gentle fossil]

so what is it then ? still provided no answer or difference than what google spews

[broken dirge]

There are games like that? Damn. I mean. That actually sounds very interesting.
There is a lot of design space to play with the atmosphere. You can have difficulty settings. And implementation vise it should be pretty simple 🤔

[manic wind]

There isn't so I want to design a survival that is harder

The survival games I've been playing are kinda easy

[broken dirge]

I mean yeah.
They either don't want you to actually "fail" and not survive, or they are more combat focused.
I agree that there is space in the market for a more hardcore Bear Grills survival type game.

[manic wind]

I've been thinking about the player finding points of interests on scrap pieces of paper and having to use a compass and map to navigate the terrain

Rather than an arrow pointing towards it

51° 30' 37.2852'' N and 0° 7' 0.3828'' W.

[broken dirge]

Yeah. For sure.
There are a lot of interesting techniques you can incorporate from the real world.
I guess look at what people use for geo caching 🤔
But you can have more exotic stuff such as stars and sextants even.

[manic wind]

Navigating with stars would be for travelling by sea

[broken dirge]

Don't know about the survival aspect. Personally I would go for something more like a "treasure hunt" style but its your game ^^.

[manic wind]

I'll keep watching people doing it in real life and see if I can make a video game version

The biggest problem is attracting a hardcore audience

Too many casual players nowadays

People forcing FromSoftware to make easier games smh

I've not even touched on identifying wild fruits

I want to get back into Unity and learn some of the skills required to code, so my friend and I are going to try to make a pokemon-esque game over the summer. I was thinking first doing brainstorming of what we would want a beta test to be like, then making a battlefield (we want to do a 3d hexgrid), then making a simple pokemon template and going from there. I used to do programming in Processing, so I understand logic and basics, and I've used Unity and 3d modelling before but never too much or really on a project. What should I do to start and where should I go from there?

Also is this the right place to ask

[granite prism]

https://giant.gfycat.com/EssentialCarelessGoldfinch.mp4

Working on the tutorial system today! Made it more versatile and scalable~

I'm not the biggest fan of tutorials that pause the game and throw text at you... but I think if I use images, and animations, and keep the text short it should be ok

open to opinions on this

[silk sedge]

How about using a ghost player to demonstrate the working of the mechanic.
The camera can span forward showing a ghost character do the same mechanic while buttons to do it are shown above.
Then it's the mechanic is stored in a diary that the player can access any time to see the same mechanic again

But your format is good too.
It's simple and easy and not much hassle

Even a player would like to get this odd book notes scattered across the path

[manic wind]

@broken dirgethanks for chatting with me yesterday i've decided to design some maps of various difficulties, small being easy, medium being medium, large being hard and very large being very difficult in terms of orienteering

[broken dirge]

No. Not the right place to ask for tutorials. This is about game design!
But you can start with unity learn.
Also the project seems quite overscoped for a single summer. Just saying. Maybe keep your expectations lower.

[manic wind]

just need to make a list of ways someone can receive information

[broken dirge]

I wonder if you could use real world data as a starting point for some of the maps. 🤔
Identifying fruits sounds.... fun but way too eazy to do with models that always look the same.

[manic wind]

yeah it's not gonna be super realistic

maybe a few variations of the same species for difficulty

its up to the player to inspect and identify whats safe to eat

no hand holding

i'm going to make some fictional maps

of course i could use real islands for inspiration

i'm learning to model low polygons trees for now

rocks too

[manic wind]

how do you choose an art direction?

[remote cobalt]

You se other people's work, you like it, and copy what you think it's good.

Like the Romans to the greeks

(Just Don't straight up

i wanna keep it low poly but immersive with atmosphere

What's the genre?

[manic wind]

open world exploration game

starting with a small island (easy difficulty)

[remote cobalt]

You played muck? Maybe it can give you some ideas about how to maintain that

i want to give myself stuff to do

[remote cobalt]

That's cool

You have something built up

[manic wind]

find others that like the same stuff

discuss it

improve it

nope just ideas on paper at the moment

[remote cobalt]

Oh.. then we are on the same page

[manic wind]

haha

gotta start somewhere

[remote cobalt]

Yep, Here's a good place to be

[manic wind]

i mean i know what i want its just making it thats the hard part lol

[remote cobalt]

Yep

Just one thing

I don't understand about survivals

[manic wind]

it'll start very simple lol

When you finish making a house and gain everything then what?

[manic wind]

just a small island you can walk around

thats it first

[remote cobalt]

Humble home for a homeless man (¿)

Not plato, lmao

[manic wind]

i played one where you crash on an island and have to survive until you can build a ship and sail again

then game over

[remote cobalt]

Yeah, it's weird if there's no game over

Like, it's an eternal limbo of suffering and torment

Torment?

[manic wind]

not that

[remote cobalt]

Not that?

[manic wind]

Torment

wasn't that game

yeah people seem to think games should have no end lol

[remote cobalt]

I don't know if they took it from minecraft

[manic wind]

oof

i'd give the option to stay on the island or set sail for home

[remote cobalt]

I mean, atleast there you can explore 'till death and add mods and stuff but.. well, you know what i mean

[manic wind]

you can leave the island at anytime just by sailing out of the border

kinda like The Truman Show lol

[remote cobalt]

Combining raft and island survival game? That's a good mechanic

[remote cobalt]

Loved that movie

Idk why the dun

[manic wind]

build a strong ship that can survive the waves and you sail home

hehe

Hey

A game about somali pirates?

[manic wind]

no?

@lean knollwhats the theme?

[lean knoll]

Survival as a lone wolf

Ie, you play as a wolf, the last of your pack hunted to death by hunters

[manic wind]

hope you get to ambush humans

sneak through tall grass

[lean knoll]

I intend to have a stealth and hunt mechanic

[manic wind]

yes!

[lean knoll]

And if the survival game doenst work out I might repurpose it into a roguelike wolf open world game

[manic wind]

howl to see enemies

[lean knoll]

Wolf with swords and magic ahaha

[lean knoll]

Nah that will be used for communication and intimidation. Or just for fun keke

[manic wind]

shame

let me howl at the moon

increased damage for next attack

[lean knoll]

Ahahaha

Secret achievement maybe

[manic wind]

hunt small critters to replenish health

[lean knoll]

Well it'll be a survival game

So it'll be semi realistic in that tegars

Hunger thrist and health. Health will regenerate over time

If you're good on food and water

[manic wind]

lick my wounds to heal

[lean knoll]

Kek

Otherwise. Wolf with lvl 4 fireball it is

😄

[manic wind]

let me design humans dying

Please take this to a thread so it doesn't flood this channel

[shrewd oar]

Working on a top down game where the movement system's "Sprint" equivalent is incredibly potent, and with the smoothing I have it makes things slippery.

Considering it's bullet hell-esque, would that be something that you think would be an appreciated feature or more of an overall hindrance for moving to point a to point b, with the idea being it's intentionally harder to control with the trade off of MUCH higher mobility?

Hello all! Just redownloaded unity again an im taking a crack at learning all over again.

[drowsy jackal]

does anyone have a physics based game idea

[wintry briar]

Boxing game that uses physics (Like Punch A Bunch)

[earnest creek]

Yo, quick question. I have recently taken a big brake from game dev and for my return, I decided to challenge myself with making an FPS out of scratch. However, I have stumbled upon a problem. I'm wondering if I should implement my basic, core shooting mechanic with raycasting or spawning bullet prefabs? I would usually opt for spawning prefabs because with ray casts you can't really see the bullets flying out of the gun because there aren't any. What would you recommend?

[steep umbra]

Depends on the game really.
For example, raycasting is fine for fast pace single player FPS, especially if you keep things at least somewhat close quarters to avoid the "instant bullet across the battlefield" situation where a pistol is a less powerful sniper.

[drowsy jackal]

@wintry briar could be cool but dont you think people will think thats just a knockoff

[shrewd oar]

Trying to think of a way of handling aim assist for a faster-paced top down shooter partially inspired by Armored Core. One of the things I was considering was using the sort of "area lock-on" effect that's present for those with a top down circle that selects targets within it for you to cycle through. Default target will be whichever is closest if you just want to start shooting, but you'd be able to cycle through and do a hard lock-on for that single target if you'd prefer. Trying to think if that seems reasonably easy to implement or if it'd be user friendly to learn, I want to say yes, but I'm not as sure. Thoughts from anyone on that or ways it'd be made better conceptually?

[cold onyx]

People think everything is a knock off. Try making a game with a grappling hook without Dani fans rolling in saying you copied him (Even though Dani himself hates when ppl do say that lol)

[manic wind]

train set trees

good idea for survival game?

[drowsy jackal]

You are right

[manic wind]

i'm having to learn pixel art for a new asset prototype haha

[cinder hamlet]

as a solo developer you shouldnt worry too much about graphics

[manic wind]

oh i don't its a simple task but i lack artistic ability

i'm gonna see if i can copy other peoples work as a placeholder

[cinder hamlet]

yep, start with a placeholder, worry about looks later

[manic wind]

aye

still has to look somewhat good haha

no MS Paint drawings

its the look and feel i'm after

[cinder hamlet]

still, start by making the core gameplay so you can test it

and then youll know what assets you even neef

[manic wind]

oh its for art direction

but i get what you're saying 😄

[manic wind]

i'm inspired!

Hey, I'm not sure how my stealth game guard should behave.
Currently, if a guard spots 2/3 body parts (head, torso, hips), it counts down from 2. If the guard can still see you, it tracks you. My question now is.
How? Should a game object spawn where the guard last saw the player? Or would that be too easy for the player? The player only needs to go around a corner and the guard is no longer a problem.
My other solution would be:
The guard follows the player for 10 seconds, and if he hasn't seen him in that time, he returns. Otherwise the 10 second timer is reset.
What do you guys think about this?

For context: As a player, you don't have any weapons. Only a knife.
You are in a small warehouse, with tables all over the place.
So no place, for running around. Because Guards are all over the place

So how can I make the guard behave naturally but still be balanced?

[manic wind]

I think with this kinda thing you just have to get volunteer playtesters to feel what the game is like

I think you can only do so much on paper

Watching someone playing your game will teach you a lot more

[glacial wind]

Thanks for your help! I really didnt want to program both methods, but I think I have to 😅

[manic wind]

I like stealth games but they're difficult to balance. If the guards constantly spot you the game doesn't feel fun. If they never spot you the game doesn't feel fun.

I like how Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid does it the most

What I like is when I get caught the enemy is on alert and patrols the area causing me to hide and move from one place to another while keeping an eye on guard locations

After a while the guard gives up and I can continue

Sometimes I can engage in combat and hide the body

The guard should know the players last whereabouts and patrol that area

Maybe you could have two patrol paths depending if the player has been seen or not

Depending on how difficult you want your game to be

Are you focusing on casual new players or hardcore stealth players

Are you doing horizontal vision or vertical too?

[glacial wind]

I am looking for a more casual player base. It shouldnt be that hard.

[glacial wind]

Thats always a great part. Trying to have an overview of all the guards and still managing to find your way out

Im using a 3d cone (like a spotlight, as my vision) I know, not ideal. But the best I can do for now

[manic wind]

I'd love to play and help you to balance the gameplay

[glacial wind]

Ill let you know if there is an version you can play.

Currently this is my scene:

[manic wind]

Haha understandable 😊

Let me know if you make a test level

[glacial wind]

Ive been working on it for 2 days and the only thing possible is: Move, Crouch, 3Point-Player-Detection, NavMesh and that is it

So I need some days

but I will come back to you!

[manic wind]

Sounds impressive for two days

[glacial wind]

I am a student and dont need sleep...

[manic wind]

Personally I would make guards walk on a grid system

[glacial wind]

Really? It is a First-Person game

[manic wind]

Your choice.

I think it keeps things simple

I like simple lol

[glacial wind]

Never thought about a grid-system. How exactly would it benefit?

[manic wind]

Well the guard would walk around the grid interacting with stuff

You could have a guard using a vending machine

Making a coffee

The player could switch a kettle on so the guard has to switch it off

[glacial wind]

Not bad! I like it! These points-of-interests. You could turn light off, unplug power cables, destroy chemistry equipment.

The Map (how I imagine it) will look grid based. So it would make sense. Definitley taking a look into it!

[manic wind]

I've not done any path finding yet

The player could leave a coin on a table and hide so the guard buys a drink from a vending machine

Or the player could drug a coffee

[glacial wind]

Holy, this is turning out into a hitman game. Really cool, but not that easy to implement, right?

[manic wind]

If guard has coin use vending machine

If guard drinks drugged coffee sleep for 5 seconds

If guard has no coffee make coffee

[glacial wind]

So I need new states: Patrol,Chase,Search,Dead,MakeCoffe,Sleep,VendingMachine

[manic wind]

Yeah

If making coffee use coffee path on grid

Return to starting position

If guard has coffee do drinking animation for 15 seconds

[glacial wind]

This sounds really nice! If guard sees stolen money, go and get boss.

[manic wind]

Exactly

Guard uses get boss route on grid

[glacial wind]

One question on the programming side: Im using booleans as states
i have multiple scripts (one for detection/vision for example) these scripts control the booleans in the main script. Is this an good idea? Im not really familiar with StateMachines or BehaviourTrees, so this was my approach

[manic wind]

I'd use a case statement

Give the guard a value

1 = idle
2 = patrolling
3 = making coffee
4 = drinking coffee
5 = sleeping

The guard can only be doing one thing at a time

0 = attack player

Everything is ignored

0 is just engaging in combat

Which is just guard runs towards player and attacks

[glacial wind]

This would be a far more easy approach (instead of turning on and off all booleans in for every state) I just need to keep track, which number is which state.

[manic wind]

Yeah

Everything is interrupted apart from sleeping to engage in combat

[glacial wind]

Ok, Im going to implement these new states. You will hear from me in a few days (if its ok)

[manic wind]

I'll look forward to it ☺️

Ping me here or DM

[glacial wind]

Great, thanks for your help!

[ancient oar]

is .01 per ad good

[sudden pendant]

Sure?

[ancient oar]

?

[manic wind]

I've watched adverts for rewards but I don't know how much they earn

I doubt it's much

[humble sable]

I'm not sure what term to search to get a tutorial/help with this. Searching background anything just gets me tutorials on menu backgrounds and unrelated things. I am a modeler/animator with many years of experience so no issue on the modeling side, the challenge I'm running into is giving the game what it needs so that the player/npcs won't fall through gaps inbetween environment pieces (it is not a solid hunk due to being separate pieces reused- think metaphorical lego bricks) or also how to ensure that the rigidbody/collider accurately represents the shape of the floor as it isn't always flat. Sometimes it slopes and curves!

For my hotel interior I made segments of the wall and floor similar to the style fallout games use when building a house (i.e. it isn't one solid model, you can use different floor and wall pieces in the game to construct different styles of houses, here's a vid for ref if you haven't played this game: https://youtu.be/ViV5XgNqi14?t=690)

Aside from my hotel interior I'm also trying to make a track for a mini-game level (Think similar to Mario Kart rainbow road https://youtu.be/3UdRDlyJXLg?t=58) and this is even more difficult to try to figure out. I'm currently making segments that are flat, slopes up, slopes down but starting to think maybe I should just model the entire track as one solid piece- but I'm not sure how to tell unity where the ground/collision is since all the courses I've taken so far define collider shapes as rectangles/capsules/spheres. I don't know how to get it to see the actual model structure.

I'd look for a tutorial but I don't even know what terms to use to find such a thing.

[manic wind]

Oh wow too technical for me lol

[humble sable]

I'm guessing it's probably simple, I'm just not as familiar with unity game creation 🥹

[manic wind]

I know you can design hitboxes using primitive shapes

[proven bluff]

hi, i have an issue with designing my ui,
i need 3 buttons somewhere (can be like one is accesiible when i click another one)

[manic wind]

@humble sable I think it's called custom collider

[proven bluff]

rn it looks kind of bad, i mean the buttons

[manic wind]

Cute graphics

[proven bluff]

thx, i found them on assets store (i guess) and i really like them

the car, i got it from ai

[humble sable]

I searched that term and found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkErt53EEFY This might handle the custom shape. Thanks for pointing in the right direction!

If anyone knows of any tutorials for creating a game background specifically using separate elements to be combined like lego pieces in Unity I would much appreciate that- so far I've mostly been trying to figure that out on my own and it's confusing at times.

[manic wind]

https://youtu.be/mkErt53EEFY

Oh same video 😂

I wonder if you can design a 3D model in Blender and convert it to a hitbox in Unity 🤔

That might work 🙂

[proven bluff]

i think i could put the leader board button inside of the settings panel, move upgrade button up, and put setting button next to upgrade button

[manic wind]

I don't know sorry 😔

[proven bluff]

does this look better ?

[manic wind]

@humble sable "combined like Lego" is called modular assets

[manic wind]

It looks cute

@humble sable also check out parallaxing

[proven bluff]

Thx

[manic wind]

Reminds me of idle games I play

[humble sable]

Thank you! I will try researching the term modular assets!

[humble sable]

I hope so, otherwise the race track course will be a beast. (Though the player is levitating just above that, if I could get the player to fly along a spline/curve that'd work too.)

[manic wind]

Wipeout?

[humble sable]

(I'm not sure if this message is for me, and if so what it means.)

[manic wind]

@humble sable like this?

I'm not sure what you mean lol

[humble sable]

Something like this! The player will be the white ball, the enemies the red balls. These aren't the final graphics obvs, just trying to figure out how to get it to work. The player in this game will be dodging between four lanes to not hit the red balls. (Didn't include all that as I didn't want to overcomplicate my question more than necessary.)

[manic wind]

Seems kinda neat

[humble sable]

I hope it will be. ^_^

I'm good at art and animation. I just struggle at figuring how to get it to behave in unity, especially if I'm not following along with a tutorial where someone else knows the tools and best way.

[manic wind]

You could cheat a little 🤔

You could try putting the sphere model inside a bigger collision sphere 🤔

It'll give the illusion of the player levitating 🤔

You could do a ground check and if the player is on the ground lift them up by X amount

Haha found someone working on a Unity Wipeout HD project lol

[humble sable]

This sounds like a tutorial I need to learn how to do

I was planning to cheat and yeah, have the actual model lower and apply the sphere as a visual

(final will be a glowing orb of electricity- the track is a flat cable used to connect things inside a computer X3)

[humble sable]

is Wipeout a racing game? Or is it an engine? (Like sonic style games use Bumper engine?)

[manic wind]

@humble sable check out "unity 3D ground check" and also check out "raycasting"

[manic wind]

That question hurts my soul

https://youtu.be/uQqRIX1RMtE

[humble sable]

Okay! I will research this after any modular asset tutorials I find.

[humble sable]

That is very pretty

[humble sable]

Did they do a video? It'd be interesting to see how they're going about it

[manic wind]

@humble sable apparently so

https://youtu.be/U5v449FPJPg

Check out the github

Has all the source code

I like how the vehicle bounces as it lands

[humble sable]

Thank you! Not having to reinvent the wheel entirely is nice when you can

[manic wind]

I thought you might like the github more if you're a coder

[supple cargo]

@manic wind can you help me with my first game please

[manic wind]

I can try

[supple cargo]

kk

yea im really new

[humble sable]

(I'm attempting to learn, I'm not good at it but yeah I'm trying to do it all myself. It's nice of them to include the link in the description. ^_^ )

[manic wind]

It is ☺️

You've got a lot of homework

[supple cargo]

@manic wind i ned halp now

[manic wind]

Sure

[cedar goblet]

Thoughts and opinions on the look of this menu?

[shrewd oar]

It's serviceable. Nothing awful about it, but nothing that stands out amazingly either. 1st pic has it framed well, 2nd one is a bit more awkward since it's lopsided towards the left with a blank space on the right, though if it's an animated menu w/ a pan that'd make sense if it's just it mid-pan.

[cedar goblet]

The camera pans from left to right and then back yeah

[shrewd oar]

Honestly I'd say fixed angle that was caught in pic 1 might be better to use with the models having idle animations playing than a general pan, but that's personal preference.

[fathom cypress]

what u think of my drone squad?

The third guy is a recycle.. My old assets I made for absolutely no reason are finally paying off 🙂

[manic wind]

Good looking drones 👍

Type A looks a bit like a bladeless fan

[cold onyx]

sent the wrong screenshot haha, well after a bit of tinkering this is my main menu now!

anything that can be changed? or is it good? Oh btw it's for a mobile game, a platformer

[manic wind]

looking good!

[cold onyx]

Thanks ^^

[feral mountain]

too bright imo

[cold onyx]

ok, i will add an option to darken the screen then, thanks!

[manic wind]

more bloom!

[feral mountain]

no less bloom

bloom bad

no gamer likes bloom

[cold onyx]

i like bloom :<

ok but i will remove it then

i totally forgot, i have a graphics menu with volumes, so i will have default, more bloom, no bloom. darkened screen, and any more?

[feral mountain]

just add a button in the settings to disable bloom and toggle a nightmode

[cold onyx]

well i also wanna add more fun ones, like inverted colors and pink tinted etc...

welp got this set up, hope it does not look too bad lmao

[sudden pendant]

If you want to get feedback on your game, you can make threads in #archived-works-in-progress. This is the game design channel.

[stuck harness]

Do you think it would be fair to implement a feature where the character loses experience points over time if the player hasn't made any progress after a certain amount of time?
ie. If no experience is gained after 5 IRL days, the character will lose 10 exp points every 10 minutes.

Almost like how Duolingo educational app works?

"if you don't use it, you lose it" kind of thing?

[carmine nova]

I have a character (2D pixel) who has a long beard he can control - what kind if game (that isn't a fighting game) could fit around this idea?

[cold onyx]

Soorryy i'll do that from now on

[manic wind]

@stuck harnessmaybe if you make that clear from the start

you lose experience points dying in Maple Story lol

i think its 15%

[stuck harness]

oh i didn't know that! thank you!

[manic wind]

i mean you could weaken the player over time that would be more fun

kinda like a curse

where you have to kill to feel normal

[stuck harness]

like, keep the level and experience, just bring down their other stats?

[manic wind]

yeah

[stuck harness]

like sluggish movement or attacks are weaker

hmmm

[manic wind]

slower walking, attack speed and deal less damage

fatigued

[stuck harness]

after a certain amount of movement time in game (key pressed) the stat will slowly return to normal

oh man lol i haven't played something like that yet

[manic wind]

well it would encourage the player to play in your style

[steep umbra]

Keep in mind if you reduce a player's ability to kill, and killing is required for undoing this restraint, you're really hamstringing them.
You might also want to consider the consequence of "killing is good" and if you really want to show that

[manic wind]

in Devil May Cry you have to do various combos or you're much weaker

[stuck harness]

i think it would be better if the amount of time the keys are pressed was used as the way to return the stats back to what they originally were

[manic wind]

well if you're weaker and have to kill to feel normal you would kill weak enemies to get the taste of blood back

[stuck harness]

to get your speed back up, hold down and press the forward key longer

[manic wind]

if you can make that fun then sure

[stuck harness]

maybe just doing the actions and not just attacking things

like "swing your sword around to get the feel for it again"

spam the button

[manic wind]

make the player slowly get colder and colder and they have to sprint to warm up again

[stuck harness]

ooooOOOOoooo

[manic wind]

old bones

would be cool if he was undead and have to keep warm to stay human

[stuck harness]

weapon durability? have you heard of....BODY durability?

[manic wind]

gets colder while not moving

no inputs

its his curse

[stuck harness]

until he falls over dea--....

[manic wind]

yeah dies from the cold

curse kills him

[steep umbra]

Need to balance that well or it'll be a pain in the ass to undo.
"Enjoy 30+ seconds of monotonous actions to get back to where you ought to be status wise".

[manic wind]

you could have a camp fire location where it takes longer to get cold

[stuck harness]

it's like that old movie with the bomb on the bus

[manic wind]

light a camp fire which pauses the effect

might be more fun later in game when the curse is lifting

a lot of fun games have a big negative like that

[stuck harness]

they're asleep during the day in the sunlight, and have to be more active at night

[manic wind]

my friend is working on a video game like that where you play as a female character where her sword is too heavy for her to wield so her attacks are very slow so you have to anticipate when to attack before attacking

the pro being she dodges/rolls really fast

so the fun in combat comes from combining the positive with the negative

[stuck harness]

use the sword's momentum to carry the player through the dodge/roll movement really fast X)

that sounds awesome

[manic wind]

might like she rolls around her sword but sure

you could have a gauge bar that quickly builds as you run around and slowly drains when there is no inputs

[stuck harness]

if you swing a heavy weapon around fast enough, you could let it carry you up onto higher platforms

[manic wind]

thats the point she can't swing it fast enough

thats the point of the combat

you play around this limitation

[dense sedge]

Focus?

[manic wind]

huh?

[dense sedge]

As you run you gain focus which grants a little buff

[stuck harness]

yeah, i like the idea of holding down a "swing" button long enough to charge up the momentum

[manic wind]

i don't know sorry

[stuck harness]

to spin around and around

[manic wind]

you could make it so as you're running around you gain bonus stats

instead of losing stats

then you're weaker with normal stats

[stuck harness]

good AOE attack too

[dense sedge]

As well as that you could also make the input to where you can hold down the input to then have a charged up attack that is powerful

[manic wind]

so you run around doing combos to get stronger than normal

[dense sedge]

Bingo

[manic wind]

that way you're rewarding the player rather than punishing

with the same status

[dense sedge]

Well things like dishonored it kind of punishes you in the end

[steep umbra]

afaik, it's generally better to reward a player than punish them. Not that you can't punish them but being rewarded feels better, so punishing should ideally be a case of "this is part of some point I'm trying to tell"

[manic wind]

so you're level 5 but if you play risky you can have bonus stats of a level 10 player vs level 12 players

but when you stop you go back to level 5

against level 12 players

high risk high reward combat

then you fight level 7 players to get level 10 bonus stats and return to fighting level 12s again

when the gauge is max the player could say something like "i'm feeling stronger already"

I am making a game. I couldn't find where the game will take place, do you have **any suggestions ❓ **

[manic wind]

cute game 😄

maybe add some obstacles to jump over?

maybe some rolling barrels donkey kong style

[remote cobalt]

it's gonna be** M a y r o P u r t y** kind of game?

[gaunt night]

hello all, im not sure if this fits into game design, but either way im deciding on revisiting unity and building something that may not be of small size, and i thought of source control. i am in between github and plasticscm, and i am already familiar with github. what i do recall with github once is that my file was just slightly too big to commit, and i see that plasticscm can handle it very well? but ive also heard of problems with plasticscm... and github too. are there examples of big games using github as source control/git in general?

[vocal kestrel]

I think there's something you can do maybe in git config to make it work better with large files

[sleek phoenix]

Use git lfs

[olive kiln]

no it's not going to be a M a y r o P u r t y kind of game

[remote cobalt]

I REMEMBERH

you played Little big planet 2?

or 1

tell me you played this map

[manic wind]

Little Big Planet is hella fun

this guy understands me

[manic wind]

Isn't there a skateboard too?

[remote cobalt]

i dunno

[olive kiln]

I have never played this game before

[remote cobalt]

You need to check it out

Is what you are doing

But with a floor that is destroying because of bombs

Maybe can inspire you or something i don't know

[olive kiln]

Thank you I will check it out

[wintry plover]

im trying to create an endless runner game and i just wanna ask if it's necessary to put these grass in a cube? i did those for the trees and rocks which is gonna be my obstacles. i want to add some grass to make it look more foresty but idk if its gonna randomly generate. im following a youtube tutorial but it wasn't mentioned there if i could do this

[manic wind]

i'm wondering if i can replicate the feeling of Nintendo games

[cinder hamlet]

effectively replicating nostalgia is going to be challenging

[manic wind]

Not nostalgia just the look and feel of Nintendo games

Colourful graphics with fun gameplay

[cinder hamlet]

graphics are mainly a matter of artstyle, especially the color palette

and the gameplay is a whole large topic, you probably want it to be simple, not hard and smooth

[glossy root]

what do you guys think of this attachment system?

still not finished

here is going to be the inventory

which is only gonna show the weapon attachments

and nothing else

if you have any in your inventory

[ocean flame]

Looks good, are you going to have to drag attachments onto the gun or just click them from the inventory?

[glossy root]

im thinking of dragging

but i havent decided yet

[ocean flame]

Yeah, dragging might make it feel more "immersive" like you're actually attaching it to the gun

[manic wind]

Reminds me of Crysis

Not that it's a bad thing

[glossy root]

oh yeah

thats similar

lol

[manic wind]

Still do it ☺️

It looks cool

[glossy root]

i was thinking of something from unturned

kind of gave me the idea

[manic wind]

Yeah it's good for the player

[glossy root]

but i dont like that in unturned the're like flat

the slots

if you know what i mean

[manic wind]

Make it how you want it

I'm always playing old games looking for new ideas

[river lintel]

Idk if it should go here, but I don't see a level design channel

How do you make levels? At least, without pulling your hair out. Unity doesn't have any BSP or CSG tools, and even some pretty basic shapes get ludicrously hard with kits, not even mentioning tediousness

What approach can be taken to speed up the process?

I don't aim at high fidelity or anything, the art style is pretty simple and blocky, so that's not a concern

[heady terrace]

So, I added a potion tray where you can buy potion in world map, and use potion in battle. But the problem is, since player's lifebar is in the left, the potion tray is switched from right in world map to left in battle
What do you think if a potion tray switch position? Or should I switch the buttons and potion tray in the world map so the potion tray potion stays in the left?

[manic wind]

You could try making modular level kits where you attach pieces to each other like Lego bricks to design levels or you could try making DOOM maps using official software. I've made a few Tomb Raider 2 levels using third party software. Depends what your end goal is.

[manic wind]

I like it how it is at the moment

[manic wind]

oh wow that looks and feels smooth

can i interrupt the animation?

[glossy root]

No but you can just un equip the weapon again

Or just press escape

Or tab

Or the key which is for this

[manic wind]

like switching from rifle to knife

[glossy root]

To play the out animation

[manic wind]

during the animation

[glossy root]

Yeah

[manic wind]

it would be cool if there were stages

[glossy root]

u can

[manic wind]

nice!

[glossy root]

thanks

ale gotta go to college cause im 30 mins late because of this

lmao

see ya

[manic wind]

i'd like to try an animation like that but you can hold and check the chamber

seeya

[glossy root]

Yh thats also cool

[manic wind]

animation > hold > release > animation

maybe discharge round

[dusky bobcat]

pro builder? blender?

[river lintel]

Last time I checked, probuilder didn't support subtraction

I've considered my options and looks like I'm gonna make levels in a 3d editor

[dusky bobcat]

i was thinking of making 3 d modular chunks of levels and put em together how i want unity but that depends on the game if you can even do that

[river lintel]

The further you stray from rectangular shapes, the harder working with modular kits becomes.

As an example, an octagon is pretty much impossible to create from separate pieces, yet alone non-refular polygons

It's kind of a shame Unity doesn't have CSG geometry, but I can see reasoning behind not implementing it

[manic wind]

i'm thinking about designing some patterns to help assist the player with navigation
trash can next to broken vehicle
you've been here!
