I'm currently drawing objects for my game and in my game the enemies can one-hit kill you, so I wanted to make sure the player was always confident that they could collect the power ups the first time they encounter them. I'll post what I have soon. Looking forward to seeing the game! albany academy posted:when covid first hit i was talking to an old friend about starting to make a game and we talked about godot a bunch, it seems cool. glad to know i have someone i can bug with godot-related questions nut posted:can i make a game that is just writing its the only thing i can do Anyway, you can certainly make a game in twine. OR you can team up with a developer to make whatever your heart desires! Incidentally: you, along with Khanstant, are at the top of my list for creative people I'd love to make a game for; one of you would be creative director, and I would do my best to design fun gameplay mechanics based on your vision. In fact, I really want to set aside like 15 days for byob to make a game, all together, but I'll be busy for the next 2 weekends. Maybe after that!

would it be all right if i were to use this thread as a way to keep myself accountable? because here's what i'm trying to do: it's not a video game per se that i'm trying to make so much as a control program for a game idea of mine. think outburst with chess clocks and some a/v elements mixed in. right answers adds time to your clock as it counts down during your turn. you can stop at any time, but answers left unsaid give your opponents a chance to run their clocks. final round has two players facing off with the time they earned, but right answers take time away from their opponent's clock. last one standing wins. so far, i've actually managed to write the questions for one game (and ideally aiming to do at least four games' worth), and what time i didn't spend today chasing down passport forms was spent on gathering some of those a/v elements. soon i'm going to run out of excuses and actually have to start building poo poo, and i'd really like to actually finish a personal project for once in my life.

blaise rascal posted:Certainly, we can help keep you accountable! I think, based on what you’re saying, it might be beneficial for you to think of the concept of a “minimum crappy playable” as described in this gdc talk around 14:10 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7R-x9NSBS2Y that's exactly what i need to do -- just get the barest of essentials going (e.g. coding three clocks + the ability to add time to each one) and build on it from there. sounds like a plan. ---------------- |

Gene Hackman Fan posted:times like these i am reminded of the carl sagan quote: "if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe"  I recommend making a "Timer" node. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_by_step/your_first_game.html Specifically, you'll want to copy everything on this page related to "ScoreTimer" and "ScoreLabel." Let me know if you have issues! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On a different note, I'd like to play devil's advocate a second, and discuss one reason that people criticize Godot. As it turns out, there have NOT been a ton of well-known commercial games shipped with Godot. Especially not compared to something like Unity. One possible reason for this is the fact that Godot is newer, but another possible explanation is that Godot does not have great performance. In my opinion, a game made in both Godot and Unity will have longer loading times in Godot. Even though I find Unity a lot harder than Godot, it remanins the industry standard. But the good news is that version 4.0 of Godot is in the works, and it will have a whole new, more powerful renderer, which should improve performance dramatically! In fact, that's the main new feature of the 4.0 update. I'm not sure exactly when this version will be released! But it will be great!

blaise rascal posted:looking really good! the main mechanic reminds me of the feather from celeste. which is a very good thing! that feather is awesome! i bet your game feels really good to play. and i bet it would control well on mobile, if you ever felt like bothering with that. Thanks! The red pentagons are a place holder graphic for an enemy. I actually have the enemy graphic in now. The yellow down arrow shrinks you so that you can go through tight tunnels and later there will be an up arrow which makes you bigger and allows you to break through rocks you couldn't when you were small.

https://blaise-rascal.itch.io/messed-up-constellation-thing I was trying to make a scrolling star background where constellations got drawn in the sky. I messed up the code, but I think this particular mess up looks really cool I hope to post the finished, working version momentarily

Okay, here's the ACTUAL FINAL version of my space background. https://blaise-rascal.itch.io/bread-sky  Making it was a bit of a messy process due to the fact that I needed to infinitely scroll everything, but I didn't want to have an unbounded number of drawings (as in, the drawings needed to be recycled after they exited to the right). I ended up defining the constellation's path with a Path2D node, and then moving along that path at a steady rate and adding a point to the white line at every frame. Then when the drawing was out of the frame (as defined by looking at its modulus'd location) it got deleted - and when it was near the left side of the window, it'd get the signal to start drawing again The endlessly scrolling stars are ParallaxLayers with the sprites imported with "repeat" set to "on" The galaxies use a particle system All in all, this was a very educational project for me! I definitely think I could have used AnimationPlayer more heavily for this, though I'm not sure if that would have caused issues with the repeating background not tiling correctly.

So would it be a multiplayer game then? ya it'd b an arcade installation with a giant fishing pole controller that's mostly a lever attached at the bottom and the game owuld be called BIG CARL'S DOCK MONSTAHZ and there's just one fishing pole but ur casting it off of a marina in Florida and the fish u can catch are so big that the resistance in the lever to be moved to fight the fish is so great that you need multiple human body weights leaning on it and so u have to play it with friends

Killer Queen started as an arcade cabinet exclusive but now has a steam version; and Death Ball is still only available in arcade cabinet form. Like, the demand for new arcade cabinet games is low (compared with, say, the demand for steam games) but the supply is also quite low, so maybe it counts as a niche? (this all assumes that bars will eventually reopen for full business someday.) I don't know how much this fishing game idea would resonate with the barcade scene but I do know that I personally would play the hell out of it

it'd also be funny to make an arcade cabinet that requires like 12 people to control something at once but isn't any larger than a normal cabinet so even if 6 people try to do double duty it's not comfortable of course not in the age of covid

yeah the game itself is kind of like joust with additional strategy, platforming, and team mechanics each team has a queen and 4 drones, the queen can fly (joust style) and kill other players (also joust style). the drones can upgrade themselves to be warriors that can also fly and kill, but not quite as powerful as the queen. drones can also take berries from caches in the level and fill up their teams hive, or ride a giant snail-god towards their teams goal. you win by either military (kill the opposing queen 3x), economy (get 12 berries) or snail (snail) the real thing is since you need 10 people to play, communities crop up around it. most arcades that have it host a league night, and there's tournaments regularly as well. my friends who play would go to different cities and crash on couches to play killer queen like once a month
