| Feedback Friday #443 - Group Discussion Posted: 06 May 2021 08:18 PM PDT FEEDBACK FRIDAY #443 Well it's Friday here so lets play each others games, be nice and constructive and have fun! keep up with devs on twitter and get involved! Post your games/demos/builds and give each other feedback! Feedback Friday Rules: Suggestion: As a generally courtesy, you should try to check out a person's game if they have left feedback on your game. If you are leaving feedback on another person's game, it may be helpful to leave a link to your post (if you have posted your game for feedback) at the end of your comment so they can easily find your game. -Post a link to a playable version of your game or demo -Do NOT link to screenshots or videos! The emphasis of FF is on testing and feedback, not on graphics! Screenshot Saturday is the better choice for your awesome screenshots and videos! -Promote good feedback! Try to avoid posting one line responses like "I liked it!" because that is NOT feedback! -Upvote those who provide good feedback! -Comments using URL shorteners may get auto-removed by reddit, so we recommend not using them.

| Posted: 07 May 2021 02:13 AM PDT Been playing around with animations, and I noticed that when I played around with the scale it felt much better. More power! It's one of the animation principles, so most people are aware of this though. But haven't seen it on FPS guns that much! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Is using Platform Provided Leaderboard worth it? Posted: 07 May 2021 07:55 AM PDT Hi, I am working on a game which I want to release on a couple of platforms - like Steam and Xbox; To make things more competitive and as the result increase the engagement, the leaderboards in the game will be cross-platform. However I think it makes sense to have platform specific leaderboards (Like a leaderboard for Steam players or a leaderboard for Xbox players); Actually I think for some platform - like PlayStation - I think it is a requirement. I can implement the platform specific leaderboards using the same mechanism I have for cross-platform leaderboards instead of the tools the platforms provide for this purpose; This option requires lower amount of effort from me since I have to do the cross-platform ones anyway. However one thing that makes me doubtful about this approach and it's that by ignoring platform provided leaderboards (like Steam Leaderboards or Xbox Live Leaderboards), I will lose some "goodies" the platforms provide; For example:
My question here is: How effective are the platform "goodies" I mentioned above for engaging the players? This is important to me as having two backends for the leaderboards and syncing them requires effort. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 07 May 2021 11:57 AM PDT So I am 16 and have no programming or coding experience but I want to start learning. The problem is I don't know if I should go with c++ or c#, I know whichever I choose would most likely lead me to using either the Unreal engine or Unity. Looking at those two options it seems that Unreal is less of actual coding and more of using blueprints instead. Which is kind of unappealing to me as I would like to actually type code. I have also seen people say learning c++ first would make leaning c# after far easier and would lead to more job opportunities in the future. My goal Right now would to be make small indie games and such but I would also like to pursue a career in the video game industry. Right now I'm leaning more towards c++ as it seems to be the cooler of the two but any other opinions would be highly appreciated. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to make games with a friend through online means? Posted: 07 May 2021 11:33 AM PDT I need to know the resources and software required so me and my friend can make a game with work being divides by 50 / 50 . I am a complete beginner at coding and want to know if it is possible to creat game with a friend without physically meeting . For example sharing the main game data file with friend .

| Posted: 07 May 2021 09:33 AM PDT Hi, I want to make a game where it takes place in the entire California state. Does anyone have a high-detailed, huge and accurate California map so I can put in Unreal Engine, or do I have to make one? [link] [comments]  | ||

| WebSockets performance tuning help Posted: 07 May 2021 09:36 AM PDT So I did what you aren't supposed to do -- I went and added multiplayer into a game jam game that I previously made. It works! However I'm having issues finding any information on how to tune Websockets or how to get better performance, so I'm asking if anyone has any resources on how to improve Websocket performance and latency. Technical details: I'm using native browser websockets connecting to a Caddy2 reverse-proxy to a Node server (using ws) on Ubuntu (through Digital Ocean for ~20/mo). Anyone have any performance tips or articles they mind sharing? I've had bad luck trying to find anything useful. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| When a game has a day/night cycle, do you prefer real time or a "points" based system? Posted: 06 May 2021 10:16 PM PDT Real time is a lot more common these days, but games like Persona use a point system where the day is broken up into sections, and certain actions (hanging out with a friend, leveling up a skill, etc) take up sections of the day. But, the nice thing about it is when you're doing normal stuff (exploring, talking to people, fighting enemies), time doesn't pass. It goes without saying that a Persona style system is a lot easier to develop and manage, as well. It's probably important to say that we're talking about RPG/life sim type games, so time and schedule will matter a lot and not just be a largely superficial/aesthetic thing like in, say, Legend of Zelda. As much as I love games like Rune Factory or Stardew Valley, I can't help but feel like I'm constantly being rushed. I'll memorize perfectly efficient routes, spam the dash button if there is one, just constantly be focusing on managing time. Contrast this with Persona, where you can really take your time and soak in the environment, as well as grind battles, without worrying about micromanaging every second. If you were to dev a game with a time mechanic, which style would you use (or perhaps a different one altogether)? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 07 May 2021 09:31 AM PDT I'm working on developing a game (using the Unity engine) and am having a bit of trouble with the camera controller. I want to set up a third person camera basically identical to the one in "A Short Hike." Any help or code would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Ways to improve online Indie Game Events? Posted: 07 May 2021 12:08 PM PDT Hey gents, 1st time posting here! So, as a Dev myself (artist/animator/art director sort of) and having my first game, [Two Strikes](https://www.twostrikesgame.com/) appearing in a couple of online events (2 for now, more to come), I felt like the Online Events happening on Discord is kinda... Weird? I mean, it's cool cause we can reach out to people from all around the world, besides the Hard time we're in right now, but the overall experience with these events has being... underwhelming. Like, yeah, it's great that I can chat a lot with other devs, but... The juice is to reach the general public so they can test the Demos and give us some nice feedbacks. As for now, the experience is like walking around a Ghost Town: You're lucky if you find a living soul (it is very, very empty). I'm trying to spread the word through facebook, instagram, reddit (I don't use Twitter), ask people to help spread the word too... But in the end, even if the event itself didn't help with promotion, I still want to find a way to attract more viewers! You guys have some suggestions to solve this issue? Edit: I tried to fix the Hyperlink, but couldn't solve it somehow. Sorry... [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 07 May 2021 11:08 AM PDT Hi! I am an aspiring concept artist and just got a email from a company I send my portfolio to. They ask me for a test of my skills and I am wondering whats the best course of action for a junior concert artist? Do I show all my references? Should I start with silhouettes? Do I send them all of it? They do say my main focus would be environmental art and Items. And it seems like a 6/7 h test. Any tips? [link] [comments]  |
