So basically I'm very little experienced (messed around in UE and have done algorithm type things to practice my basic variables, functions and loops but little experience with OOP) I would like to start making games in either UE but feel Godot may be better to actually learn more technically let me know if I'm wrong?

But I feel like any ideas I have for games are too ambitious, but most 'beginner' projects seem really boring to me like platformers and such and I don't like the idea of using premade assets. Don't get me wrong I understand they're useful as a beginner as it allows you to jump in to actually creating the game straight away but for me things like this seem to just suck my passion and creativity out of it, meaning I have little motivation to do it.

I'm not against either of these things 100% if anyone has any suggestions that would allow to to feel more as if it is my own project I have an open mind.

Thank you for reading if you can leave any ideas to get around this it would be greatly appreciated thanks! :)

can some one help me understand what am i missing?

Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:56 AM PST

Hello, i am trying to achieve in unity VR a character model that is mimicking the player moves using inverse kinematics.

The goal i am trying to reach looks like so:

https://i.redd.it/1b4tkwh7x6661.gif

This footage comes from a youtubers Valem videos. I followed his tutorial to programming a VR body IK system that look like this:

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; [System.Serializable] public class VRMap { public Transform vrTarget; public Transform rigTarget; public Vector3 trackingPositionOffset; public Vector3 trackingRotationOffset; public void Map() { rigTarget.position = vrTarget.TransformPoint(trackingPositionOffset); rigTarget.rotation = vrTarget.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(trackingRotationOffset); } } public class VRRig : MonoBehaviour { [Range(0,1)] public float turnSmoothness = 1; public VRMap head; public VRMap leftHand; public VRMap rightHand; public Transform headConstraint; private Vector3 headBodyOffest; void Start() { headBodyOffest = transform.position - headConstraint.position; } void FixedUpdate() { transform.position = headConstraint.position + headBodyOffest; transform.forward = Vector3.Lerp(transform.forward, Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(headConstraint.up,Vector3.up).normalized, turnSmoothness); head.Map(); leftHand.Map(); rightHand.Map(); } }

From some Reddit sugestions i tried somhow to get the local position of the controllers and copy it to diferent model with an IK system. And ive managed to get some sort of movement replication on the separate model:

lol

As one can see, it not close at all. But the arms are moving and the head is turning.

I dont know how could this be done better at the moment, or what i could be missing.

The code on the separate model looks like so:

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; [System.Serializable] public class VRMmap { public Transform VrTarget; public Transform RigTarget; public Vector3 TrackingPositionOffset; public Vector3 TrackingRotationOffset; public void Mmap() { RigTarget.localPosition = VrTarget.localPosition; RigTarget.rotation = VrTarget.localRotation * Quaternion.Euler(TrackingRotationOffset); } } public class vrig2 : MonoBehaviour { [Range(0, 1)] public float turnSmoothness = 1; public VRMmap head; public VRMmap leftHand; public VRMmap rightHand; public Transform headConstraint; public Vector3 headBodyOffest; void Start() { headBodyOffest = headConstraint.position; } void FixedUpdate() { transform.rotation = Vector3.Lerp(transform.forward, Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(headConstraint.up, Vector3.up).normalized, turnSmoothness); head.Mmap(); leftHand.Mmap(); rightHand.Mmap(); } }

It obvious that im just trying to modify the original script, but i think by applying a local position on certain values might get the right result.

Additional context: the code makes this panel appear in the inspector window

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Advices on multiplayer implementation

Posted: 19 Dec 2020 07:45 AM PST

I am developing a top down shooter and my singleplayer is pratically finished so now I want to move on to develop multiplayer but I have some questions and I am seeking for some advices.

In my game a match is constituted by a character(two in a multiplayer match) , monsters, projectiles, boosts and spawn points.

Here is my initial solution:

Characters- Send to the game server my character(position, if it´s dead or not,currentHealth,etc) and receive the other player character from the server. Thinking about using UDP because I want real time positions

Monsters- Have the server generate a seed and share with both players. This way the "random" generated monsters will be the same for both players.

Monsters movement- The monster will move towards the closest character. In case of the tie in the distances it will move to the middle of the two characters.

Projectiles- When a player clicks the left button to shoot a projectile, the input is sent to the server. This means that the projectiles list would be instanciated in the server and both players will have to get it from it. 99% sure I will use UDP because a lost projectile wouldn´t have a major impact on the match.

Boosts- Probably the same strategy as the monsters. Pretty sure I will be using TCP because if the boost doesn´t spawn in that round it completely alters the match.

I am looking for critics to the strategies I am planning to implement as well as some advices

How viable is indie-VR dev economically?

Posted: 19 Dec 2020 05:42 AM PST

Howdy folks,

I'm curious how viable the indie-VR market is, especially after the boost in headset sales from HLVR. Is it viable for a small studio (1-3 indie devs working part time) to build and ship something that sells well? It does seem that 'big piece of a small pie' makes the VR market attractive.

I'm interested in making a room-scale puzzle game -- so playspace size statistics would also be useful if those exist.

Cheers!

Find indie game developer teams

Posted: 19 Dec 2020 10:38 AM PST

Hi folks, working as a full stack developer and having a couple of own web projects realized how boring is to develop something by your own. Started doing some stuff in unity but now want to not messing around, but create a final product. Does anyone know where to find a game team and join?

Where can I find other hobbyists to work with?

Posted: 18 Dec 2020 03:20 PM PST

I'm really sorry if this is not the right place for this. I'm trying to figure out where I can find other hobbyists to work with? I own a small studio and have released 1 project but I'm looking to grow. Does anyone have any good reference for finding other Unity3d Developers?

I want to design games in the feature with my friend; is it necessary to go to university/college to design games? Or will some simple google searches be enough to guide me.

How Long Would This Take?....

Posted: 18 Dec 2020 09:28 PM PST

Hello, I have no experience in game development. If someone who was experienced with 3D, 3rd person perspective, and fighting games made a game with the specs below, how long do you think it would take?

- 3D, 3rd person, "over the shoulder", perspective on the playable character (Think Smite or For Honor)

- Character Customization (Base Player Model, addable pieces on top)

- Competitive Multiplayer (arena style: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4)

- Limited Spectating

- "Swinging Weapon" Combat System (Like For Honor or Chivalry: Medieval Warfare)

I'm really curious what anyone thinks about how long it would take and if you would maybe play a game like this? Thank you in advanced!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that this would be on PC and Console.

Promoting/marketing new indie games through platforms like Indieboost - yay or nay?

Posted: 18 Dec 2020 08:47 PM PST

Howdy folks,

Georgie here :) I've recently joined an up & coming indie game studio as their first Player Experience & Engagement Lead and my focus right now is to help grow our brand awareness and design a creator engagement strategy ahead of closed beta.

Indieboost recently reached out to pitch their services to us and I was curious to know if anyone here has tried marketing their games through a platform like this and if so, what your honest experience has been like?

I can't find anything concrete on this particular platform either way (just a couple of outdated posts) so am hoping someone here might be able to offer some insight.

Much appreciated!

Cheers,
G

codeandweb texture packer stretches image vertically?

Posted: 18 Dec 2020 01:17 PM PST

I used two different version of texture packer, one which I downloaded almost a year ago and one that recently downloaded both give the same result.

in game it seems to stretch the images vertically for some odd reason and I donno why it's doing this.

in the .json codes there are no scale-y or scaley anything of that sort, just scale: 1.0 which would involve scaling for both x and y but at default size 1.0

below are some of the codes, what can I add to scale vertically and make it vertically smaller to counter the default vertical stretch.

{"frames": [

{

"filename": "aber.png",

"frame": {"x":1085,"y":446,"w":55,"h":115},

"rotated": true,

"trimmed": false,

"spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":55,"h":115},

"sourceSize": {"w":55,"h":115},

"pivot": {"x":3.18182,"y":4.13913}

{

"filename": "aber2.png",

"frame": {"x":1096,"y":353,"w":91,"h":219},

"rotated": true,

"trimmed": false,

"spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":91,"h":219},

"sourceSize": {"w":91,"h":219},

"pivot": {"x":1.92308,"y":2.17352}
