>>279 (OP) 
Is there an archive of threads, past "fan" games/content, and/or an archive of the 2015 stream(s)? I've only been able to find a handful of those. Thanks.

It's dead, isn't it? 
A shame. Even cuckchan could finish their SJW parody game.

None of the Undertale AUs /v/ermin and quasi-normalshits have made have been even close to the original in quality, so I doubt this will really make Toby Phoenix eat hir heart out, but they're still fun to play I guess.

I was not prepared!

Take your time. There is no rush.

It just I did everything alright the first time, but it didnt work, so I have to redo it over and over, until I learned that I simply used radians instead of degrees. Not the first time angles fuck me up, its like every fucker invented his own measurement system for them. Yeah, I should have known that this thing uses fucking quaternions, and not degrees, and I am totally heard of them before.  
I spend few hours trying to figure out why textures dont work, and it turns out directX cannot keep textures in memory, if you resize the window. Do you know how hard it is to fix a problem, if you did everything right, but something slightly related has some weird quirk? 
But the good news is, its basically done, and I needed that stuff anyway.

>>1194
>Unrust on your math skills a bit and you'll be capable of pretty awesome complexity.
That reminds me, does anyone have some relevant math resources they'd recommend? I ended up using a function for circle-line distance in >>1160 that I don't understand and I figure developing a stronger foundation will be important.

The last missing piece of the puzzle always seems to take the longest to find! Looking forward to playing your game anon.

>maths distance
Its always the basic geometry and right triangles. 

//lazy square distance
if (abs((int) _a1.posX - (int)_a2.posX) <= 2 ) {
	if (abs((int) _a1.posY - (int) _a2.posY) <= 2) {

You basically check x1-x2 first (and mod it to get positive values), if its below threshold("radius") it collides. And than do it for Y too, because its faster to separate them. 

//advanced distance
/*	if (sqrt(pow(TargetX - posX, 2) + pow(TargetY - posY, 2) * 1.0) <= 5) {
It just works.

There's no point in a "3D" game if you can't move in 3D.

You haven't played asteroids.

Surprised noone responded to this post - this is actually pretty impressive. Care to share the code?

Also, are you the guy who did Super Don't Give Up!! in the last jam? You got the same pixel art/pixel font thing going on. Would be to cool to hear you were still around.

>>1187
Yep, I did SDGU!! last jam. I'll try and find time to post the code with bit of an explanation.

>>1189
Nice. Glad to hear you weren't lost in the move.

It's a fucking jam, quit overanalyzing and being a faggot.

>>Its a good genre to learn the ropes from
Now you're starting to understand.

>>856
Guy's salty about something, I just wish he'd make a point sooner or later. I'll let him air his greivances or whatever for now and bust out the dustpan and broom and clean up after him if I have to later. Maybe he's got something to contribute, who knows. We are going to have a post-mortem discussion after the jam - what went well, what didn't, what people would like to see for next time, etc.. Maybe in the meantime our guy can get some chill and think about what to post for that.

Any plans for a second jam yet?

>>969
The first jam was poggers I can't wait until the next one!

>>853
It really was.

used to make a lot of maps in hamme but never published any of them. i think i only have two of the VMFs left.

Can you cut off their feet and put them in a microwave after you insemenate them??

>>472
phenomenal post

>>297 (OP) 
I'm sure OP is long gone, and the subject matter isn't really my thing, but honestly I've seen worse renpy games out there. The art is consistent, the decisions had well foreshadowed outcomes instead of some of the COYA crap where by trying to improve a situation you worsen it or vice versa, and while the game is short I think that fits with its scope. In the end, you completed a game, and that's more than a lot of people can say. I hope you learned from the project and can go on to improve your dev skills for the future.

>>472
In this game, you play AS a fluffy. XD

>>726
Thanks! I really wanted to avoid all the usual pitfalls of dating sims like fake choices and stretched out scenes, as well as break the curse of fluffy games by setting the scale to something I could realistically finish. I'm always glad to hear people enjoying it, because I practically live on the feedback I get for my works!

performance on Firefox 108.0.2 (64-bit) was very poor anon

>>470
thank for your feedback I'll try to improve it

oekaki  over other peoples posts when?

this project is very nice IDEA.
people dont know what they want until they do not see it

>>469
I don't know how to post as it always pop up a message saying duplicates or something like that.

>>788
Yeah, it's ass. Nothing you can't do with hap-hazard loop cuts and face extrusions on boxes in Blender. Can also get proper cylinders/torii and shit if you were trying to do something like that bike or another vehicle.

Simple setup for pixelized image, if anyone needs it. The lower "value" on the left is, the heavier pixelization becomes. Its just multiplication+ rounding+ dividing each directional vector.

I try to post here while we have that backupgate over there.

So I checked out this tutorial: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=0TzjpR3pdpk
One thing this guy does is that he selects a random face, Shift-D, RMB, P to make a duplicate into a separate object and work from there. But this way he ends up with a bunch of (partly) duplicate faces, and he only deletes a few of them. Isn't that a bad idea?
(Also the first time I made the building it was too low, normally I'd just go to edit mode, Alt-Z, box select the upper part, G Z and make it taller, but since this model was composed of 8 or so objects I couldn't do that (I don't think I can be in edit mode for more than one object at a time), so in the end I just scaled the whole shit along the z axis.)

Also, in the meantime I modelled a door. Baby steps. And I've managed to produce the worst looking procedural wood texture, I'll try to do something about that tomorrow. But my real question is, I want that door to look old and not exactly in a good shape. It should have paint, but that came off at various places (that's why I need the wood texture) (something like this, but with wood instead of metal, and probably without texture painting: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=bR4HtqxA9tk). I'll play around with my materials, bu

It just how he does things, I suppose. Its possible he just extrudes them afterwards, so its not duplicate faces, but multiple fully complete objects. And adding them together is quite easy. Its also possible that he does it because its fast for demonstrational purposes.

You can edit multiple objects at the same time, just select all needed objects and move them. You can also do parenting, it all depends on what feels easier/faster to do. 
>painting texture
I would just use noise texture or noise + geometry>pointiness / AO texture as a mask. 
The problem with your wood material is values of various modifiers of texture. Most obvious is bump node, you need to lower its value. And it needs ramp nod

Heh my mistake Anon. Clearly you have more to contribute, please proceed. :)

>>903
Was joke, comrade :^). And nah, I'll stop shitting up the thread. Maybe somewhere else, some other time.

>license drama (of which I am the most guilty) should be its own thread, something like "gamedev legal/ethics/financial"
If we do end up with one, I am going to use it to yell about shitbirds who pretend to offer assets under Creative Commons licenses but then add restrictive "gotcha" supplemental terms that Creative Commons specifically disallow under their trademark policy.

>you can have this under CC-BY (unless your game's sales exceed $X) hurr durr now we come up in CC license search results make sure you read the Free* license terms! :)
IF YOU USE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS OF ANY KIND IT'S NOT CC-BY ANYMORE IS IT, CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE LIKE THE YOU CAN USE THIS BUT I WANT A CUT LICENSE FUCK I KEEP SEEING THIS SHIT EVERYWHERE I AM SO MAD

>GPL did not bring out the desired goal, that is, advancing 3D games and the FPS genre
Well that's not so easy to measure, since the lessons developers have learned from Id's codebases aren't necessarily so explicitly stated, as a learning resource the Doom 1-3 & Quake 1-3 sources have been invaluable to many game devs.
>"mod community" banging on 30 year old tech because that's all that's "free"
Seems more like a problem with the culture of game development, getting the sources for 20+ year old games if the planets align shouldn't be the norm but it is. Also the things people accomplish with those very old engines are very often more experimental and innovative than what you generally get from the modern industry, you have to at least appreciate the dedication involved.
>I'm pretty sure there was a Doom 2, Quake 2, Q3A...
Well yeah, but Doom 1+2 and Quake 1 have the most popularity in large part due to what the community does with them, which gets spread around various places and gets people outside those communities interested in playing these new mods and total conversions.
>Are you saying Id is making money off of Doom and Quake today?
Yep, for Id it's a very low maintenance deal: By providing the games on Steam and other stores (generally just the original DOS versions wrapped with DOSBox) players buy the games, then take the data files and play them with source ports and mods developed completely by outside devs, Id doesn't need to get involved at all and can just let the money come in.
>Presumes source port developers would keep their changes to themselves
I base that on observations of other scenes where sharing your work isn't a requirement.
>which is fine too, as it actually introduces diversity and competition
Personally I don't think so, in those scenarios you often get certain projects having lots of control over the community, where what they say goes and people have much less power to mitigate the damage in the event of a lead dev with bad intentions.
>you would have to play the original versions instead because the superior source ports didn't all release their code?
That's fair, I didn't think that completely through. My concern was more about the issue of continuous maintenance when developers inevitably stop working on their port and that project is closed source, such that eventually you end up needing a jenga tower of fixes for fixes of ports as operating systems and hardware move on.

>>896
I did not mess with it a whole lot, mostly played through the default game, tried mods, modded a little.
Demo game: worked nicely.
Simple ruleset and simple resource modding (adding a new ability, etc): was indeed trivial.
Variety between styles of the existing resource sets: good. From Diablo-like (Flare-game) to jRPG style (Polymorphable). https://flarerpg.org/mods/

The possible downside:
Rummaging through assets of Flare-game shows that for all this fancy equipment in hands to look so nice the sprites require not only a set of standard angles, but fuckery with split layers, which does not look trivial.
Not unexpected (FreedroidRPG data/graphics/tux_motion_parts/ is not for the faint of heart either, that’s just how sprite based engines do it).
Probably… maybe… hopefully there’s something in documentation on how to do this efficiently.
