June 11th, 2020, Nintendo gave the world the pseudo sequel to the LABO game maker thingy, Game Builder Garage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXG4KdstVw4 In-depth review from Nintendolife: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4bn6rk767g Live footage of Alex from Nintendolife building a game. At this posting, it's about 3 hours long so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaDRRTJoT2g Being goons, we obviously have to go crazy with this. OP to be updated. In the meantime, post any and all GBG content you come up with. Really looking forward to seeing what people end up making with this.  This OP will also contain any and all game codes that are posted ITT, in two categories; one for goon made, and the other for non-goon made. -------------- GAMES: Goon-made: DalaranJ posted:Okay, here’s a rudimentary HP tracker. Sam Faust posted:It may not be a lot, but even this much was exhausting. animesiter posted:My attempt at making a simple arcade style coin pusher game. Non-goon-made: A big list can be found at The My Garage site, which is constantly updated. shame on an IGA posted:Jesus christ it's been one day and someone already made DOOM A few basic titles made so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZVpU6_UZcU -------------- Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Jun 18, 2021 |

One thing I'm already thankful for is that you can use gyro aiming to control the pointer. Why Mario Maker 2 didn't have this is beyond me. I love it.

The Postman posted:I haven't been paying super close attention to every bit of text in the tutorials, but I appreciate that it's been trying to present some foundation for decent game design. Doesn't that pigeon get into level design ideas and logic? Not just "this does that", but really "this is what makes something fun"?

I just showed my sons the tag game I made last night from the tutorials, and they had way more fun than I ever expected. We didn't even use joycons, but instead leaned in and used one 8bitdo controller  GBG is already worth it, and it's only going to get better.

Inzombiac posted:How robust is the modeling side of things? Do you have to use pre-made assets? Every shooter I've seen has you fighting the same blockhead dudes. Unless it's "to-be-discovered" , so far there are only a certain number of detailed 3D objects and characters. That video from the last page with 5 games that Gamexplain played involve a custom modeled dog, but it's blocky.

I'm thinking that you could make literally every Atari 2600 game with this. Thoughts?

This is perfect. Edit: a few more games to try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPgfDnC8AT0 I think I'm only going to update the OP with goon games. Otherwise, we can just post pictures or videos for non-goon games ITT in general.

Is there any way to do multiple controllers? Or is it a split joycon only kind of deal? I'm talking two pro controllers.

Ratjaculation posted:I regret buying this game, because even massively simplified coding is beyond me. To be totally honest, if I didn't have kids who go absolutely nuts (in a good way) over the simplest of games that I've either made with the tutorial or downloaded, this likely wouldn't be worth it for me, either. As it stands, I'm planning on making a pinball game, as well as a maze chasing game for them to play.

Yeah, it's astounding how much potential this has to actually 'take off' as time goes on. I do really wish they had a lite version JUST for playing the games, maybe being able to look at the code underneath. It'd also be nice to be able to export a more polished package. I don't mean polished gameplay, but have it so when you play a downloaded game from your list, it doesn't come across exactly the same way as something you built yourself, with the + button immediately going into the code side. I don't know, super small gripe, but I'm thinking of Mario Maker 2, how when you set up a level or especially a world, it sort of feels like a complete package when someone plays it; they don't see the behind the scenes stuff.

shame on an IGA posted:looking behind the curtain of how other people are solving problems is the whole point No I get that, maybe I didn't explain it properly. And I just tried to write out a better explanation and it turns out, it's the dumbest and smallest gripe ever, so nm. Carry on!  Bottom line: a bigger separation between seeing the code (which I agree is very useful) and playing a given game.

LeFishy posted:Honestly I kinda agree with this. Having the programming button only show up on copies of downloaded games or something. That does hamper the whole "just hit a button to see how it works" thing though I guess. I just think that there could be two options for downloaded games. One is Play and the other could be Inspect. That way, the games themselves can seem more like actual mini game packages, but whatever, functionally, it all still comes out the same.

animesiter posted:My attempt at making a simple arcade style coin pusher game. I'll add it to the OP! Additionally, here's a handy site to check out that's compiling a list of every game they can come across. I enjoyed Waluigi'd Taco Stand. Edit: ok, so I loaded up the coin pusher, and it starts off with a ton of coins just flowing out of the triangle right away. I'm assuming that's unintentional? Eventually it stopped, and I was able to press A to shoot out one coin at a time. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Jun 18, 2021 |

Seymour Buttz posted:I don't think it's a dumb gripe at all. I don't have the game yet so I don't know what it actually looks like but like, this game/application is the only place where these games will be played, so it'd be nice if your finished projects could be presented and experienced as stand-alone products when people download them. Well, I was thinking about this more, and realized that one of the reasons it bugs me is that at any moment, if you press +, you get all of the 'code' and the game you're playing just restarts afterwards. I'd definitely love something more standalone yeah. And then show off the code from a button press in the menu. The way it is makes the games seem less like games and more like downloaded save files.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:I get that, but to me GBG felt more like a nice and easy introduction to some central concepts in game programming and less like a full-fledged game development suite. I agree with this, definitely. Like I originally said, it was an admittedly very small gripe. Just a presentation thing, really.

EightFlyingCars posted:I made a skeet-shooting game that you play by aiming with a detached joy-con's gyroscope. Give it a try! I really liked this, though it was a bit difficult to determine where I'd be shooting. I hope you keep at it, because I'd love to play a slightly more polished version. Really loves how my gun was mimicking how my controller was held

Pirate Radar posted:Is there a way to program hitscan weapons in this? My first guess would be to have an extended, invisible cylinder from your gun that's so long it goes the length of the playing area, and then you'd have to say that if the cylinder is touching an enemy AND you're hitting fire, destroy the enemy. Kind of like the punching in the tutorial, but expanded. There's probably a better way though. Edit: fake it with SUPER fast, invisible projectiles that have no gravity?

DalaranJ posted:Compared to Mario Maker it’s a real pain. The moment of realization when you put enemies on the screen and realize that if you want them to do anything you have to construct AI from scratch. Yep. I have an idea from many years ago when I tried my hand at making something in Unity that I'll likely bring back with this, but man, it's gonna be quite the experience getting there.

EightFlyingCars posted:I experimented with that first method for other purposes and I'm not sure it would work. Objects can only be so long, so in order to get a hitscan weapon with any kind of reach you'd need to connect objects end-to-end. But when you do that, the game's physics kick in and make the whole thing really wobbly, kind of like you're waving around a pool noodle. So not only does that mean it wouldn't accurately track the player's aim because it would always lag behind where they're pointing, but there's also a good chance that the whole thing would just snap in half while you wave it around, especially if you're using gyroscopic controls. As far as I can tell, there's no way to disable physics acting on objects in the same way that you can disable gravity. As for the speed, can you use a multiplier to increase it?

EightFlyingCars posted:So it turns out that if you attach even a super long touch sensor to the end of a gun and use that with an AND operator with a button press, it actually does work like a really long punch! Rupert Buttermilk was right all along! What about a combination of super long invisible block, plus a ball (bullet) spawner at the end of that so the bullets have less of a distance to travel, and hit the target much sooner?

Fixins posted:So did this die out? I was looking at it with interest in a "I don't have much time to hobby program maybe I can get my output with this" but no one seems to talk about it anymore I don't think it's dead or anything, but at least for me Mario Golf (esp with goons) has taken over my Switch time lately.
