/agdg/ for idiots - Awful Games Done Goofily thread Anonymous 04/13/2025 (Sun) 00:09:55 Id: 0ed894 No. 1088605

Hello, I am a lazy-assed motherfucker who wants to program vidya but has the attention span of a fruit fly and can not stick to a project for more than a week before giving up and abandoning it. So let's have a thread for people like me to plan out a simple game, slap it together, stick to it, get something done, and show off to each other. We will each follow a general outline, and each of us will add our own flair to it. This week is prep week. We need two things. 1. a VOLUNTEER to be our guru and decide on a technology platform, and to be able to answer tech questions. The platform must be free-as-in-beer and run on my broken toaster of a computer, and newbies need to be able to use it. I hear that Godot is popular. I have seen some good games made in Twine but have never gotten custom code to work correctly. Other than that I have no idea what games are programmed in these days. 2. we need to decide what sort of simple game we want to make. Do we want to do an Asteroids clone? A Choose Your Own Adventure? Feel free to recommend some simple game from the 1980s or an old classroom assignment. We can point to an online tutorial and say "let's all do that" and let's do it. Newbies who have never programmed a game before are encouraged to join. This is where you get started. I will be the incompetent middle management making overall decisions. This week: get your dev environment set up and play around with tutorials April 19th: I will announce the project First week: Start coding your game April 27th: Give an update on how it's going Second week: Add flair and finishing touches May 4th: Show us what you've done, no matter how bad it looks. Give us your crashing error screen. We'll take it and laugh at it together. We've all been there. In between: feel free to ask "does anyone know how to...?" questions. The quickest way to solve a technical question is to ask on a forum. You will figure out the answer just after the post goes through. To make your own artwork: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ To make your own music: https://lmms.io/ or recommend something else > we already have an /agdg/ thread >>1045009 That one is a general, this one is for a specific project (that we have not decided on yet)

A WarioWare-like game sounds more fitting for this kind of project.

>>1088605 I'm not a newbie in programming or making games, but I'm certainly not qualified to be a guru either. I have never managed to finish a game. However I have two books to recommend, 'Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World' by Cal Newport, that will help you improve your attention span and 'A Playful Production Process: For Game Designers' by Richard Lemarchand to help you organize better in making vidya. The second book has a lot of advice directed to people who work in big teams, but you can glance through those pages if you don't find them useful to you at this moment. As for programming I recommend learning the basics of a language like python and then watch tutorials for the game engine you want to use. Best of luck to you and everybody else who will try making a game, including me.

>>1088712 > I just want to point out you picked a shit time for this. There's already a game jam going on this month. Whoops, LOL. I am not going to ask anyone to pull double duty. Let people who are already working on that work on that. People who don't think they are up to that competition and are not going to participate, can work on this. > Do you have experience with git? Minimal. I've done some checkouts and commits but have no idea how it works internally. And what you're getting at with that is: everyone should use a revision control system so that you can rollback your mistakes if you save buggy code you can't fix over less-buggy code. I agree in principle, but if it's too much to figure out then it's not necessary. Git has a ton of options and it is easy to get lost in the documentation. All that a beginner needs to know is how to save your code and restore it. A Git 101 project for absolute newbs who want to try it out: Download it. Create a directory with a Hello World.txt file. Use git to turn the directory into a git repository. Change the text file. Use git to save a revision. Change the text file again, save the third revision. Use git to rollback and change between the different versions. Read documentation/tutorials to learn how to do all of this yourself, and to learn more about the program than you will get from someone simply telling you what commands to use. >>1088703 > My suggestion would be a Breakout clone A breakout clone is a good option for a simple game. The math might be difficult for those who have not taken trig in college, but whatever gamedev library we choose will have vector math functions to make it easier. We will just need someone to post "this is how you make stuff bounce" and everyone can work from that. >>1088711 > A common programming exercise is sokoban, but sokoban is hell. Let us abstract that to A Grid Based 2-D game. So if we choose that, we will be working off one particular tile-based game library + tutorial that someone recommends. I am not going to ask anybody to roll their own. >>1088627 > I wanna make a game racing game It sounds like fun but we would need a library+tutorial to build from, and it might be too much for a newb's first project.

>>1088772 >And what you're getting at with that My concern was if you're going to be cat herding anons on a larger project you should at least know how to do the project management side of things, like handling pull requests and making sure design and style stay consistent between contributors iirc lack of good version control and consistent style was part of what killed anons bizarre adventure. My only experience with using git with godot has been less than ideal. Last project I tried cloning had fucked up spacing so it wouldn't run easily. Not sure if it was user error or because the project might have been built on windows and I'm using ubuntu, but you probably want to set up a main repo and test things like that if you're going to be managing a larger project. Only other advise I can give is document as much as you can. Decide on an architecture and try to stick with it, and have some simple docs/guides for anons to follow if they want to contribute. For example, if you decide to use ECS, have a writeup on how you want Systems structured, what Components should look like, and where those files will live in the project. Make it easy for anons to jump in and out by keeping things modular.

>>1088817 Cat herding won't be an issue. Everyone is going to do the same simple project themselves and put their own personal spin on it. So if we do Breakout, we will each come back in a couple of weeks with our own version of Breakout. If someone doesn't use revision control, it's on them. Since it is the end of the weekend and I have not seen a better option, I will declare Godot/Redot to be the preferred platform. Use this week to install it, figure out to add sound and art assets, and go through a few tutorials. If you run into trouble, ask questions. It will be a learning experience for everyone. You can use a different platform if you are confident that can code simple 2d games in it.

It's not going to look better than this. The graph itself is 3D but the line it 2D which means converting the 3D position with a 2D one.. The camera perspective for this doesn't change, and I should have made it fully 2D from the start, but I didn't realize how awful 3D lines looked. This took longer than I expected.

Question for unity How do I set it so whenever I press a certain button the player's sprites changes to one that I can assign it? Like if I press space for example they'll transition to a jumping sprite. I already have states that the player is set to when pressing a button, I'm assuming theres a function I can use to simply change the player sprite so long as it's set to an assigned state, but I don't know what it is.

	self.rotation=Vector3(camera.x, camera.y ,0) #Rotates the camera

Also i noticed this: >>1088605 >May 4th: Show us what you've done, no matter how bad it looks. Give us your crashing error screen. We'll take it and laugh at it together. We've all been there. Kek, I know is silly but i am gonna try to present something for tomorrows date. I think maybe adding a menu and some sort of finish line lel.

Is today the day?

>>1088703 Can confirm that getting the basics down for a brick breaker isn't too hard. With a tutorial I went from zero knowledge to putting together one with simple MSPaint graphics in GameMaker last year. Didn't have the passion to take it further but it was nice to have something working with level progression and high scores and all. >>1226901 GameMaker is older (more known/understood), has a visual coding language, and if you keep your games PC exclusive it's practically free.

Where are the collabers?

>>1313544 >Is today the day? Yeah, it was. TIme flies and my game still sucks kek. >>1314092 >basics down for a brick breaker isn't too hard. With a tutorial I went from zero knowledge to putting together one Yeah, it requires some math for the trajectory of the ball but the rest is relatively easy. >Didn't have the passion to take it further Valid response. I had also gotten stuck in proyects. I remember a stupid unity proyect that didn't progress at all for 2 years. But now I tried again have done more in some weeks in this game. Is not about failing or not, but about getting up and keep trying! ~~Not good being motivational, it sounded too corny, lel~~ >>1314293 >Where are the collabers? Idk, I still here though. Going to continue till the game becomes playable lel. >>1316239 >I don't know why it's been difficult to prototype, maybe it's just because I'm an artfag and not a codefag. Maybe you should try starting from the bottom. Example: Code > Mechanics > Textures. Thats what i am trying to do with this proyect. LIke the making of a building. First step is to build some strong foundations, then the essentials and later to add the unique decorations that make it special. Theres nothing wrong with prototyping and testing future designs, but if you daydream all day then nothing is gonna get done. Trust me, i have a whole notepad filled with ideas and concepts that i have never tried lol >>1312072 I did the menu and the finish line. It tooks ~3 hours (less that i expected kek). Here the code for the menu (I finally learn how to use the dumb signals lel)

extends Control
@onready var Menu = get_node("../Menu")
func _on_start_pressed() -> void:
	self.visible = false #Makes the menu disapear
	Menu.visible = true #Makes the menu appear
func _on_quit_pressed() -> void:
	get_tree().quit() #Closes the game
func _on_options_pressed() -> void:
	pass # Nothing
func _on_menu_pressed() -> void:
	self.visible = true # Makes the menu reappear.

and heres the code for the finish line (quite cursed code but it works kek)

extends Area3D
@onready var Win = get_node("WIN")  #Gets the Label
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	var Collisions = get_overlapping_bodies() #Gets the collisions
	for Collision in Collisions: #"Filters" the collision from the rest
		if Collision.name == "Ball" : #Check for the ball 
			Win.visible = true #Makes the label visible

>>1322428 >what the fuck I am looking at, a cruelty squad rip off? What? I had to look that thing up. And It looks disgusting, the over saturated colors made my eyes bleed kek. So thanks for the reminder to fix the skybox. Also why all jewtubers had 4 hours video essay's trying explain that shit game? Look like pure nonsense to me. >>1317766 Fixed the skybox, added some textures ~~(gradients)~~ and a speed counter. Heres the code.

extends Label
@onready var ball = get_node("/root/Node3D/Ball")
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	text = "Speed: %.f" % ball.velocity.length()

I need to work in the broken movement system and make it more ergonomic.

>>1335252 Well im back, almost no progress but its still going on. Today i reworked the camera and movement system. Now the camera follows the mouse and the ball goes to the camera direction. Heres some code.

var viewport = get_viewport() #Sets the Viewport
	var current_mouse_position = viewport.get_mouse_position() #Sets the Mouse current position
	var mouse_delta = current_mouse_position - initial_mouse_position #Calculates the change of position
	rotation.y -= mouse_delta.x * mouse #Rotates the camera horizontally
	rotation.x -= mouse_delta.y * mouse #Rotates the camera vertically

>>1561387 I never see you in our drawthreads, so I'm guessing you commission artists rather than draw these yourself? I'm curious about what that process looks like.

Anonymous 07/15/2025 (Tue) 03:17:58 Id: e40940 No. 1563931

>>1561490 Yup, I'm just the coder and writer. >I'm curious about what that process looks like What parts specifically do you want to know about? The art process?

Anonymous 07/15/2025 (Tue) 08:14:45 Id: 541cb5 No. 1564640

>>1563931 Yeah, how do you find the artists? Are they cool with it straight way, do you cycle through several?

Anonymous 07/15/2025 (Tue) 14:41:22 Id: e40940 No. 1565238

>>1564640 It's a whole can of worms. I just tried my luck messaging artists I like on Twitter; some of them used to be artists from Half/Co. Also, it depends on what you want to do. If the artist does a lot of The Loud House art, they are bound to be interested in a project about The Loud House, so you could hunt them down by going to galleries like Paheal and looking for whatever parody you want to do, then look for an artist. Now, if you want to do something original, like pic related, it's A LOT harder to keep the artist interested. But well, that's what money solves. Ask them for the prices, and if you can afford it, you've got yourself an artist. Try to be very detailed on what your project is about and what their workload will be, also keep references of what you need at hand, like poses and stuff. I recommend working by commission, as you won't be bleeding money that way, and you can potentially hire extra artists to tackle other parts of the projects. Lastly, just consider that artists are people like you and me, so give them the treatment you would like to have when working with someone else. Sometimes it's frustrating, but I let them take their sweet time to deliver the stuff, and it's usually worth the wait. I just hired other artists in the meantime, so I always have something to do and look forward to, while having enough money to cover whatever else the projects may need. Good luck, anon, it isn't that easy, and sometimes it's very frustrating, but if you have the funds and the patience, you can do it.

Why do a lot of projects use C# and not GDScript for Godot? Is it because of familiarity with C# coming from Unity, because they think GDScript is slower or because of the tooling that comes with Visual Studio?

Anonymous 07/16/2025 (Wed) 19:35:32 Id: 02d67c No. 1568424

>>1568290 GDScript is slower, the bridge between the main engine and the scripting runtime is designed subotimally. Beyond that though, it's something new for the user to learn. If users have the choice to use a tool they are already familiar with there will naturally be more people choosing to use it than otherwise. In the specific case of C# preference Unity is probably the most significant factor though. If performance was the stronger bias it'd weigh towards GDNative instead.

Anonymous 07/16/2025 (Wed) 20:33:53 Id: 187630 No. 1568588

>>1568290 Because C# despite being Microsoft™ MASS NIGGERS branded C with stupid capitalization rules, is still fucking C underneath the rot that's been piled onto it.

As someone who likes music, whistles my own tunes, and knows the bare minimum of music reading and writing from my band classes like 8 years ago, where would a good starting point be for making videogame music? Actually studying music theory? Making chiptunes and trying to see what sounds good/doesn't? Messing around with my guitar that's been leaning against the wall for three years? Downloading FruityLoopsstudio and messing around? More specifically, are there any smaller, FOSS programs that let me make music like what I hear in the average indie/demake/high quality rip? And don't fucking say Mario Paint.

>>1585375 LMMS or Ardour, haven't messed around enough to be able to confidently tell you which one is superior.
