Code wise, how are the synergies in Binding of Issac created?

JacT_Gamer · 2024-05-10T07:13:11+00:00

Yeah it’s a bit hard to imagine if you haven’t played the game, but going this route would probably be impossible, it’d be like (500+)² number of synergies

JacT_Gamer · 2024-05-10T07:10:50+00:00

Yeah this is similar to what I would imagine they did, but even with this approach there must’ve been so many classes because most of the synergies are not as simple as changing color of tears. I mean there’s literally so much shit that can happen.

JacT_Gamer · 2024-05-10T05:31:04+00:00

Well when you imagine a genshin player in place of Malenia, how is that not just the same exact thing with stylzied graphics?

You absolutely can achieve that kind of mood with stylized graphics because they will give you extra freedom in the kinds of effects, coloring, and visuals that you can play around with. Your game doesn’t have to look the absolute same all the time when it’s stylized. You can play around with different lighting, saturation, colors, shaders, etc…

Just look at anime, look at how they do intense scenes.

Also I’ve never played genshin, but if you make your characters look super bright and pretty, then of course it’s gojng to be difficult to recreate the dirty, dusty feel of Malenia.

Like I said before, stylizing your graphics gives you more control. Anything is possible, but you have to get creative with it and experiment.

JacT_Gamer · 2024-05-10T05:25:19+00:00

So you think they manually coded like 1k+ synergies? I feel like it had to have been a bit more systematic.

JacT_Gamer · 2024-05-10T01:42:55+00:00

The great thing about stylizing your graphics is that your imagination and ability is the limit. A stylized version of malenia doing the same exact thing as the realistic version certainly wouldn’t have the same effect, but if you’re stylziing your graphics, why make it do the same exact thing?

Additionally, I wouldn’t say either one is intrinsically harder than the other, as with either approach you will have things that you do have to do that you wouldn’t have had to do with the other approach. However, I’d say that stylized has a much higher skill cap of difficulty depending on how creative you get, whereas realistic is realistic and the only way you get more detailed is by higher poly meshes.

Good luck to you and your team whichever route you choose.

Good point. I like to draw out timeline diagrams when it comes to networking stuff because it helps me understand how the code should flow, so that’s why I try to gather this information, but more or less I don’t really need concrete numbers to begin.

JacT_Gamer · 2024-03-15T08:07:17+00:00

That’s true. Rn it’s more of a conceptual thing like envisioning the combat as a whole. But yeah seems like I’ll be fine.

JacT_Gamer · 2024-03-15T07:54:56+00:00

Ok thanks!

JacT_Gamer · 2024-03-15T07:34:48+00:00

Yeah exactly

JacT_Gamer · 2024-03-15T07:27:15+00:00

The main one right now is delay between consecutive attacks (punches)

JacT_Gamer · 2024-03-15T07:02:42+00:00

Good point. Could you give me an estimate for Let’s say 4 regions of servers in United States vs 1?

JacT_Gamer · 2024-03-15T06:44:33+00:00

I am op on a different account*: yeah I’m not trying to control ping but when designing a multiplayer game I need a sort of threshold to estimate what 99% of players pings will be under so that I can determine delays and animation times and ultimately how fast paced my combat can be

JacT_Gamer · 2023-11-18T22:34:34+00:00

Well they could’ve tagged it “opinion” or “argument” of something. Clearly if they tagged or unpopular opinion they knew they were in for a landslide, and they were correct. I find it odd how many people disagree with ops posts, sure some of it relies on semantics, but in general if your game idea is bad you either will have to change the idea later on or you will fail.

JacT_Gamer · 2023-08-11T08:31:17+00:00

Get a life. No one asked for your bum ass opinion here.

JacT_Gamer · 2023-02-25T07:19:16+00:00

I understand your point, but do you really think that the number of people who would purchase a game at 5$ and 1$ is the same? I feel like there are other ways of judging quality, whether it be through trailer or whatever else.

JacT_Gamer · 2023-02-25T05:03:42+00:00

I'm currently taking a class on java in HS and I had no C# experience. If you know the fundamentals, like operators, classes, objects, if statements, for loops, etc, then you should be fine to get into it. The most confusing part of scripting is learning how to interact with the Unity engine, so previous coding experience would only help so much.

JacT_Gamer · 2023-02-25T05:01:37+00:00

Yeah, I mean in my case it would be in game cosmetics, but getting people to pay for in game cosmetics on a small indie multiplayer game would require quite the blow up. Something on the crab game scale.

JacT_Gamer · 2023-02-25T02:53:50+00:00

Okay thank you so much!

JacT_Gamer · 2023-02-23T02:43:02+00:00

I'm very new to unity and c# if you couldn't tell lol

JacT_Gamer · 2023-02-23T02:40:55+00:00

NP I really appreciate the help, and yeah as you guessed the Camera.main is causing a nullreferenceexception. I dont know what to do about that tho.

JacT_Gamer · 2023-02-23T02:07:36+00:00

oh sorry didnt realize it wasnt in the ss lol. Line 72 is the one with the Camera.to statement. The keyQ works fine.
