What started out as a joke on IRC, turned into me actually getting something on the Unity Asset Store. There were no good assets that handled ONLY jump physics since everything is tied into character controllers and completed projects. So I took my jump physics and polished it up then submitted it. It contains jumping, double jumping, and variable height jumping for both 2D and 3D. I also wrote a blog post about jump physics in general since there's all kinds of information out there but nothing that just sorta explains what's going on for all the typical jump types. http://poemdexter.com/blog/jump-physics-games/ Here's my appropriately named asset store page for Jump Physics: http://u3d.as/content/poemdexter/jump-physics/ #SAGameDev on IRC continues to deliver.

Well, after not doing as much as I wanted thanks to an exceptionally busy semester, I got back to this game programming thing. I just laid the groundwork down for an inventory system with enough terrible placeholder images to participate in another fine installment of Screenshot Saturday. Oh yeah!  For whatever reason I decided the test items should mostly smell bad.

DStecks posted:I've asked a bit about this in this thread, but only about the tertiary issues, and never really about the core issue. Java with libGDX is pretty drat straightforward and pretty powerful too. I love it. I think XNA is in a bad state of affairs, so I'm not sure what the go-to C# is right now other than Unity stuff.

  (Vine video) Spent a few hours today to get something done in time for Screenshot Saturday. The first new system is the camera system, which is a very simple, trigger based system that allows me to specify cinematic angles of the game world depending on the player's position in the world. The only game-specific feature here is that additional cameras can be set for when the player is hugging a wall, which can be useful for giving the player a wider view of the world. Instead of going with the more recent MGS games' behind-the-shoulder camera, I've opted for the classic top-down camera, which gives the player a clearer overview of the level, which is important for Merry Gear's more puzzley gameplay style. The second is the ingame minimap, which was a bit more challenging. Previous entries in the Merry Gear Solid series were 2D and grid-based, allowing me to generate the minimap display by scanning the level tile by tile and drawing lines at wall edges. Having made the jump to 3D with Merry Gear Solid 3, obviously that wasn't an option anymore. After evaluating all of my options (and without having to resort to any paid, third party solutions) the solution I came up with was to take data I already had -- that is, the recast generated navmesh that Unity can bake into the level at edit-time, and to generate a 2D representation of the level layout from that. Of course, due to agent size being factored into navmesh generation, this means that walls will appear "thicker" in the minimap than in the game world, but by playing around with the scale of the minimap display, I was able to mask the discrepancy as part of the low resolution display. Once the AI scheduling system is complete, I should be in a good place to get this thing done for 2014 (...but no promises). Mr. Podunkian fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Jan 12, 2014 |

I've been slaving over a new Logo interpreter for an educational programming game I'm building. Today I implemented the first turtle graphics primitives: Believe me when I say there's a hell of a lot more going on here than is readily apparent.

Hello everyone. I've been lurking this thread for a couple of weeks. There's some really awesome looking stuff here! For screenshot Saturday I wanted to show off the project I'm doing the music and sound for called Witchmarsh.  It's a RPG with some light platforming stuff. You can find out more about it on our tumblr. We're going to be doing a Kickstarter "soon."

I finally got that sign stuff sort of working, from a few pages ago. Thanks for the help guys. Here's a gif of what I've got so far. Ignore the horrible programmer art. I of course come with yet another question though. How do I refer to other objects from a script? With the sign stuff I have going on, it's all controlled through script that is attached to the message (not the sign itself) and it simply becomes visible and plays an animation on the trigger when the player presses 'E'. I originally was trying to have the sign sprite have all the code, and then refer to the message sprite to make it visible and all that, and I couldn't work out how to do it.  e: The jump physics in the actual game is more generous than shown in the gif. Just saying. Forseeable Fuchsia fucked around with this message at 10:54 on Jan 12, 2014 |

Thanks guys. Yep the font used in 'play or discard' will be changed (probably will also have a white scroll behind it, like in the logo). The font used on the cards is a bit illegible - going to have rework that. It's the bold version of Cabin Sketch, so it's got a pattern in it that isn't looking great scaled down..

SupSuper posted:The more flexible approach is using public variables in your script (eg. public GameObject sign;) that you then associate in the Unity editor. But if you want something completely hardcoded in script you can use GameObject.Find("ObjectName"). Just a note, GameObject.Find() is slower than GameObject.FindWithTag() and you should try to use the tag version as much as possible.

So this week we finally worked out the kinks in our lighting engine- which was quite nice, and so to celebrate we decided to indulge ourselves and make a little one-off game for fun over the weekend. I began to design it on Friday night, and we used the rest of the weekend to play-test, tweak, and make assets for it. This was the result: Funnily enough this game wound up being almost the polar opposite of We Need to go Deeper. It's single player, you're going up instead of down, and finally, this isn't even a video game; it's a card game. Here are a few examples:     Not sure what we're gonna do with it yet - maybe make it a free print-and-play on our website or something. Either way, it was fun to make, so I figured I'd share it with ya'll!

D: For any script that extends MonoBehaviour, any public member (except for properties) are viewable in the inspector when attached to a GameObject. For example, I wrote a JumpPhysics.cs script and attached it to a GameObject. Now this is what I see when I click the game object and look at the inspector:  To answer your second question, "ObjectName" is the name of the GameObject in the Hierarchy tab.

The weekend was very productive. The pages below are all displayed in the browser. Only a handful of mock ups left to go through and put to code. Everything is very much a work in progress of course.      Still lots of work to do, but we should be play testing soon.

Oh her hands ARE super creepy. haha. But you know what they say about programmer art. Make look awful so the artists get more motivated to replace it. haha. I like the site's layout though. I have a bit of a Witchmarsh music update. I completed a rough sketch of the title theme. Check it out. The instruments are very much not final. This version is just a dump from Sibelius. The instruments are basically a step above general midi. My process tends to be: Compose in Sibelius. Export MIDI. Import that in FL Studio. Expand on composition there, then export tracks separately. Then mix and master in Protools. So this piece still has a long way to go before completed. I might add some more to it later.
