Waves of Steel is a blast and I did the same thing I did in Wayward Frontier where I played like 1hr of story then went nuts in the ship editor. I'm very happy that there are just a bunch of broken and goofy things buried in there. So far my only requests are mostly aesthetic: More 1-3 ton filler misc components, I love me some searchlights. Tiny superstructure should just have no collision with big ones so I can just clip them to get my look right.

My creative pitch is infinitely variable nft waifu's as characters in a tactical role-playing game with permadeath and a gatcha mechanic. Procedurally generated backstory and dialog taking up 95% of dev resources to sell these RNG characters. Gotta check all the boxes for a money printer.

I always consider the sound mixing for the 3 gunshots at the end of this scene as some of the best mixing I've ever heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcgn4EY5_S8&t=162s (Its the Max vs Furiosa fight from Fury Road)

Take the camera position and the ship position and draw a vertical plane that passes through them. Route every sound producer on the left of the plane to your left channel de-confliction and every sound on the right to the right channel de-confliction. Preserve the position metadata through it, then convert the sound event to a generated sound in 3d space and send it to the audio channels.

The giant boss ship teleports every phase once you've destroyed it's current outer shell or done enough damage to multiple big pieces. That will make the players motion relative rather than absolute. Could also have the boss physically move in a way that trys to keep an even spacing away from the player. Reward focus fire by having the destroyed pieces be unable to shoot until enough phases have passed that the thing molts and gets a new, smaller, more heavily armed outer layer. Also I'm now imagining this as the Spirit of Mother's Will from Armored core. And as you destroy it's legs it becomes a ship

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Yeah, but that's not strongly-contrasting with the invalid-placement colors. Rather then a full dimming throw some transparent grey 1/4" cross hatch over the bottom. You should still have enough undimmed sections to see the contrasting colors. Also you could throw a thin yellow and black cross hatch boarder around either the top or bottom half to further isolate it when working with placement.

At the engagement distance what is the difference between that and just having them accelerate endlessly until impact or despawn? Without the step change in acceleration the math is easier at least.

Yeah if you want to make games TTRPGs are wonderful. If you want to make Video Games thats a whole can of worms that will probably involve slowly learning from modding. And even if you want to make video games learning the cycle of create -> test -> refine from board games or TT is a nice leg up.

busalover posted:I just saw a video on how the popularity of the Edgerunners anime correlates to an increase in the playerbase of Cyberpunk 2077. Companies have been touting "transmedia-storytelling" as a way to increase the popularity of an IP for a while now, but is this the first time it actually worked? It works and its been around forever. It used to be books into plays then books into movies or books into TV books into games seems to be solidly established now, while games into TV are just in their infancy.

Did we ever make a Trombone Champ thread? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUJuwNxNUWQ Because Dragonforce made a video reaction about the mod for their song in Trombone Champ. Youtube is recommending videos with like 40k views from channels with 400 subscribers. To me that just screams overwhelming success.

Definitely show some quick seconds of the ship designer with some sort of "design custom ships" card. I do like the visual of multiple custom ships at a fixed angle in action for your main content shots. My 1 directorial comment is to put the kickflip at the end. Post title card. You gotta slowly ramp up the intensity. Get into like BBs with 30x5" and AA -> boss battles at the climax-> title card -> over the top sillyness wipe to end on.

In my head this makes me think of Highfleet crossed with Subnautica. Subnautica made the world feel strange and wonderous, where there were secrets to explore. Highfleet made the world feel huge and brutal, each cannon shot had visceral impact, and every choice often a meaningful cost in fuel and cash. The story of the world for both is what made them stick the landing rather than just their gameplay loops.

SerthVarnee posted:Made me think of this One of the cinematic issues with Mortal Engines is that nothing seems to have the proper amount of inertia. Contrast with how GDT did it in Pacific Rim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYQjmj7cSM0. To mention High Fleet again, the gameplay makes the ships feel like their giant size, even if its arcadey and still much faster than reality. Combined with the sound design it gives the gameplay a meatiness that compliments the rest.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Despite that, I've seen more than one player try to dock without taking out the torpedo turret, which doesn't generally work very well. Any suggestions? If subtlety isn't working you can make it explicit - When you get close trigger one of those pause'd dialog lines with "Those Torpedo's are going to be trouble until we take out the command center" if the player hasn't already destroyed the CC. SerthVarnee posted:Small dotted lines that reach out from the control center to every structure under its control? Also a great visual aid.

Maxwell Lord posted:As I'm figuring out what I need to work on next for my turn-based rogue-like spy game I'm drifting over to one topic: Stealth. If you want to draw inspiration from reality, modern submarine/maritime/air warfare has a lot going on that could lead to fun mechanics. The 4x Aurora has really detailed turn based strategic warfare in this style, and playing stealth well there feels great because its hard but rewarding. Highfleet has a dash of it with thermals/radars/ECM/passive homing stuff. Blind firing a nuke at where you expect an enemy to be is satisfying.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:I recognize this is a lot to attempt, and in particular that it's hard to do hordes that feel like hordes in 3D because there's so much more volume to fill, compared to 2D games. One thing I've felt is that a lot of that comes from asset uniformity. If you can stagger different animations, slight model variations, and different shaders on top of the same base model it really lets your spread the enemy models out and all of a sudden your groups feel like a horde without needing to be many densely packed models. This is of course a tradeoff of asset development time, how many assets are in memory at once, and how much you're trying to render and keep track of at once.
