These are really great tutorials for getting a character from scratch through animations. I'm happy to say we finally have the start of a sane walk cycle going on. Next up will be run cycles, honking (and with it IK blending), and the rest of the game...

As a regular user of subversion, git confuses the bejeezus out of me. "So you have a local repository that is not the actual code your working that you commit to and then you merge your local repo with the master?" I feel like git is probably very good for solving the problems it was built to solve, but that svn is easier and superior until you get to a scope or whatever that requires git. Oh, and I've done almost nothing as well. I realized that my old code for GLFW was broken because of threading and then I kinda face-planted.

Your local repo can be your actual code, you don't have to have a remote or push or merge code anywhere else. It's just how you or your organization, decides how to, well, organize it. SVN offers nothing over git these days and you're just holding yourself back using it. Especially if you're not working with anyone else and don't have that built up organizational knowledge/infrastructure. edit: Hell, if you(or anyone) wanted to pair up some evening on Skype, I'd be happy to run you through an introduction.

git is great until you do something stupid (like say, a revert) and you're staring at a mountain of conflicts and every single command you run bitches about needing to fix it before you can continue. (that's usually when I rm -r the fucker and re-clone)

SVN confuses me, but mostly because I don't know how to do what is simple in git. Like, branching is part of my everyday workflow. Every new thing I add is in a new branch, and I'm hopping around between branches working on different stuff depending on what needs doing right now. And, then when I'm done a feature, I merge and push master. Everything I read about SVN says that this isn't a thing that you can do. Every commit needs to be pushed and every branch needs to be tracked remotely, and every merge is supposedly some sort of time consuming affair.

Every commit needs to be pushed and every branch needs to be tracked remotely, and every merge is supposedly some sort of time consuming affair. To merge, you: pray. Seriously, branching in SVN is a really, really bad idea. It doesn't use fancy history-driven merges like git, meaning when you eventually dump the branch back in, it comes back with the diff equivalent of macaroni and glitter art. You WILL have to step through each merge by hand, and you WILL have to manually flag a bunch of stuff / edit the diffs / etc. Every single time. Which isn't to say SVN doesn't have its strengths. It's a better choice for binary-heavy projects. But if you can use git, just use git. Alternatively, use Perforce. The modern incarnation has a free splinter, and it's a little better than SVN. Still has the basic "branch? hahahaha" problem, but you'll spend less time wanting to kill yourself when stepping through a merge gone wrong.

My Zero-Player RPG is coming along nicely: Right now, the gameplay mostly concerns buying mana and healing potions at the start of the day, then you can adjust the price as the day goes on. If you don't buy enough, or charge too much, the heroes in your town won't be able to fight and will either die or just go to bed early.

Stepping in on the version-control conversation. Git is great because it generally works pretty well and TONS of git sites exist. But if you can manage to get a good Perforce setup working, good lord. It's the industry standard for a reason. I was forced to learn it when I got hired and after like 2 weeks I was in love. edit: For the love of god DON'T USE SVN. Calipark fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jul 15, 2015 |

Git confused the hell out of me, but really I think it just scared me more than anything. Merges and Branches being so far different but still being workable just feels like it shouldn't work. Once I got over the fear of breaking everything it's been pretty much the killer app for anything work/progression wise and I can't believe I ever got by without it.

SVN existed before branching was really a concept. There was only one branch and if you had multiple developers working on a tree you either locked your specific area or sacrificed someone to handle the merges later. The general progression of version control is something like rcs -> cvs -> svn -> git. Each generation added new features and git is just the newest most featured release. svn still has some uses but I wouldn't do any software development with it, especially if there's more than one person on the team.

I threw together a quick gameplay prototype which is feels good and is kinda fun already (please play the video at 60 fps it looks way better) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-oWxfPEKLk One thing I did notice is that the character is probably a little overly animated so it's kinda tricky to get a good feel where the hitbox is, I'll need to find out a way to make that more apparent (Right now it's the purple square under the character but that is just for debugging) Polo-Rican posted:I'm okay with your mechanics being similar to mine but i'm honestly not sure if it matches your artstyle!! My game looks like a twin stick shooter, so the inability to shoot stands out. Your game is a cute child on a scooter - "he's not packing a pistol" doesn't feel like a critical omission at all. I agree that it isn't apparent when looking at the art but hopefully it shines through in the actual gameplay

As a person who has no idea about game making, all of these in-progress gifs are very entertaining. Svampson posted:I'd argue that a bullet hell shoot' em up without shooting is a critical omission and makes it a pretty different game from pretty much any shmup, on top of my head the only ones I can think of is Shoot The Bullet and Ikaruga (if you do Dot Eater), and I don't think I've played a melee focused shmup. For instance in the video, if I could shoot I'd just hang back at the bottom and focus on dodging while holding the shoot button, but since I'm forced to move close I have to find a good opportunity to actually advance and get a hit in. I'd say it's a lot easier to tell from the perspective in the video that it's based off of a shmup. I hope you keep the cool frontal camera angle in the earlier gifs though! Maybe as a stage introduction zoom or something before it pans out into the top-down view?
