Trying to optimize my game with 48 hours left is quite the rush. I'm trying to get Object Pooling to work utilizing a modified version of this script. The idea is to spawn all the items my scene will use right off the bat, and then rather than instantiate new objects I just call them from the pool. Since my game is all about instantiating a ton of objects at once, this is potentially a big optimization. Of course it means rewriting every line that Instantiated or Destroyed an object, which is a bit hectic. Biggest concern is introducing a bug I don't find until it's too late, but the gains (in theory) should be worth it.

Which is disappointing because whenever you google a C# question regarding data handling, Linq has a roughly 75% chance of being involved in the most suggested solutions. I've never dug into it myself but I read the overview and it seems pretty scary. A query language for arrays that looks like SQL? I just can't wrap my head around it, it seems like a neat trick but maintaining it in a large project has to be a nightmare. Maintaining databases is hard enough when they're standalone, distributing it into code has to be even worse.

Shalinor posted:foreach is your friend. Your pal. Your chum. Your bosom buddy. Just squint, and ignore what you know about the additional allocations it's doing behind the scenes, and feel the love. Yes, foreach is my buddy. As in List.ForEach(item => doStuff(item)); But that's easily adaptable to the non-Linqified foreach, so I guess it's a small issue.

I guess I could iterate through my data structures like a non-.NET dev. This is me. I have some ridiculous queries that would have been way too much to write through code. Using flexible Linq statements let me cut down a project substantially. That said, I've never had luck with Linq outside of .Net sites, so take that how you will. FateFree posted:Don't forget to reset the state of the object when you return it to the pool! Good freaking suggestion. I was about to say "I added in code to reset the state of the object when I remove it from the pool" which is accurate, but I'm not actually sure if any of my pooled objects have scripts that cause funkiness. Time to check!

Anyone have a smart-yet-simple way for me to reinitialize the objects when I pull them out? edit: Looks like setting my default states in OnEnable() is a good option, pursuing that now. double edit: Haha SetActiveRecursively has been deprecated, swapping to SetActive and putting my defaults in OnEnable appears to be doing the trick. Now for more testing. VVV thanks for the advice! If I can't get OnEnable doing what I want I'll likely broadcast. Atoramos fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jul 29, 2014 |

Figured out my web build issue. Got it working. Now that I have those logistics figured out... polish, polish, polish! (You can PM me for a link if you're curious, but I'd like to wait to share the URL with potential judges until after Dodgeball and I have completed some testing from start to finish.)

OK, Game Knight is finished. Far as I can tell it's bug free and everything works as intended. Let me know if anything breaks. It should be beatable within like half an hour. Less if you hate jokes, more if the RNG decides it loathes your existence and that you should suffer. http://www.kongregate.com/games/SevenHams/game-knight

oh thanks Shalinor! Now that I am moved back into my parent's basement I still got a number of things to handle before I can sit down to hammer out any more levels or anything. so I guess it will remain the way it is. and to put things into perspective for people that are still scrambling with almost nothing done; I got my thing done in about 3ish days.

I dunno if anyone else has said anything to you about this piece yet, but holy gently caress. Please tell me your game is a Metroidvania, that track fits so well with the genre. I've only heard the music and I already want to play the poo poo out of it.

Ugh, put me on the wall. I am hating the game I'm making, and the ugh timing of my teams contributions have been pretty lacking. That's not to excuse my own lack of work, just this is a bad game. Might return to it later, but it's not going in for this challenge.

My game is done! Download - SAGDC Wiki    The game works on Windows, Mac and Linux. Windows has a standalone EXE, Mac and Linux need Love2D installed. The readme is a good resource if you get stuck! I hope everyone has fun with my game! I did not get all I wanted done, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Thank you again Rupert Buttermilk for your great music, and congratulations on your child!

Ultigonio posted:Aaaaaahhhh why would you use the arrow keys, space bar, and mouse, but not WASD???? The theme was public access TV, which is a bit hard to watch sometimes, so I made the game a bit annoying to play. Seemed to fit with the theme.  I left in other crap like being able to walk through doors from the side. Some of the images are actually placeholders that I just plain left in. Some of the hardest decisions I had to make were about how to make the game bad and kind of annoying but not completely unplayable or too frustrating.

Well I'm submitting now. I think I'm done with this. I don't want to look at it any more. There's a lot of things in this that I didn't have the chance to do. Originally this was going to be a doom-style adventure game, but then for some reason I couldn't get passed the roadblock of my player being able to walk through walls (which was no good). Scaling back I thought "what's the most Public Access way I could make this game". I then got it. Make it styled as a "My First RPG Maker Game" I present The Angry Atheist Gamer  Features:

So, with barely any time left at all, I've happily managed to finish my various odds and ends for other people's games. I've made a bajillion sound effects and a fair few songs, and I'm actually fairly pleased with just about everything I put out this year. There was, however, one track that was unable to make it due to limited time, but I'm reasonably proud of it!

 I put up 2:22AM up on the wiki a little bit ago! Kind of experimental, more of a moody walking simulator-esque experience than some of the other games. I still had a lot of fun making it though!

Ugh, I've had three artists flake out on me (yes that's right three artists in a row bailed because of life / work) and my composer lost all his work in a massive thunderstorm. I officially give up. I'll have something to submit but it'll basically be nothing and have nothing to do with the theme as I cobble together something that resembles a video game. This year was just not my year.

Great Views, 5 Stars, makes money everytime. Unfortunately once you max the actors at skill 5 you're stuck only getting 65K a week, so it's gonna take a while to build to 1 mil.
