New form of motion in that fixes the troubles we were having on level 2, and the troubles we had in VR. VR now works really well, but eventually I should grab a skybox that works in the Rift. Added in grass detection and speed boosts to level 1. Fixed the juttering in multiplayer, but didn't have someone available to film with.

Thanks for this. I did a bunch of work on fielders and runners today, caught some bugs (definitely your first, hopefully your second), and tweaked some things. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a build, with fly balls also implemented.

Fielding does need to be nerfed, it does feel like it's brutal even by baseball standards. I'm trying to figure out if there's some randomization noise in there, since the RNG seems to like to stick to one side of 50% (I know I know, our perception of what is random sucks), but when it gets like that it's brutal since all of the game rolls are <= pct checks.

If anyone wants to brainstorm some adorable cat umpire sayings, I'll take it all.

Can't post for 2 hours!
It sunk in how little time I have left. This is a bad thing. So many components of my game are "almost done".

The biggest problem is having my enemies follow paths, also break from them, and then also return to them. If I can't figure that out in the next day or two I'm going to have to scrap my basic idea of a game and come up with something completely different and I'm not currently liking my chances.
gently caress paths. I don't need paths. Games without paths are better anyway!

"Fur ball"
"Scratch one (two, three)"
"Safe at purred base"
"Mew're out!"
"You swing like a mouse"

e: I just remembered your game doesn't have a ball and I don't know how it works, hopefully these weren't entirely useless.

Instead of "stealing home base" you can say "stealing home lasagne" (I don't know anything about baseball)

It's buggy, imbalanced, untested and unplayed, but hell it's going to keep me off the wall of shame. If this has given me anything, its much respect for people that have made real, actual baseball games. Baseball without a ball is hard. The numbers are off, slanted a bit more towards the defense than I'd like (even for baseball), but the general idea is there: how do you play baseball without a ball? With a cat umpire, that's how.

Sandlot Base-no-ball, version "Where did July go?"

If anyone would like to bang their heads against this, knock yourself out. I've left all of my console debug messages in with some numbers, if anyone wants to peek (github issues).

I'm missing one feature from the planned design, but I might go without it to save the time. I've got to get the fly ball mechanics wrapped up, then spend the rest of the week tweaking math and stats, and adding color text and more actions.
This really is weirdly compelling. I wonder if there are actual PnP baseball RP's out there.

I don't know how it was sourced, but if I drag PNGs from the browser to PS it does that black infill instead of alpha. If I save the PNG and open it in PS it doesn't. :iiam:

The short not-explanation for this is that Photoshop's PNG-alpha support has always been kinda weird and garbage for some reason!

Looking at Board Game Geek, the answer is yes, although most of it seems to be 20+ years old. There may be inspiration there for a system revamp, if I continue on with this, but it looks to be a lot of spergy number crunching.

Right now I'm at "last minute polishing and playtesting" mode. I think I'll get this done?

Do we need a Windows AND Mac build or will just one of the two be fine?

You'll see...
Still working on core gameplay. :shepface:

Though just the scoring/objectives, thankfully. The actual mechanics of driving around pretty much got done a long time ago. If all else fails, I could release a sandbox driving simulator no problem.

But this means I'm going to be working hard as heck in the next few days, and everything that's not absolutely necessary has now been downgraded to 'optional'. My standards for everything I'm working has also been lowered from 'Good' to 'Good Enough'.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

Just make sure it is obvious somewhere which build you have so we can match the game up to a judge appropriately.

This is absolutely disgusting, but what's even more disgusting in my opinion is that Game Maker uses radians for trig functions but degrees for declaring what direction something is facing, and there's no way that I can tell to change it

So as it turns out, six characters for a fighting game to be made in one month by an artist who has literally never made a sprite before is kiiiiiiinda ambitious.

I have one more character to finish animations for for my game and then various other assets. Reviewing the sprites I have, there's a rather clear difference in quality of animation and shading between the earlier ones I did and the ones I'm finishing now but there's no time to unify them, so I hope everyone enjoys the progression they see from the first sprites I ever did in my life and the sprites I made one month later after doing nothing but make sprites all day and night.

Mad props to the very kind people in the pixel art megathread who set me on the path of righteousness.

SFX set, music picked out and set for gameplay, collisions work, animations work, no major bugs, gameplay is decently balanced to not be too easy or impossible, I've just gotta wrap up this start screen and give it some music, , put in a game over / victory screen, and then put in a nice little splash screen and I should be all set.

It's pretty remarkable how much more polished and enjoyable my game feels this year compared to last. :3:
