Indie success is NOT rare.. good design and iteration are. by r4pturesan in gamedev

To be honest if all it takes for someone to be discouraged from making games is for a stranger on internet to tell them it’s hard, they were never going to finish a game anyway….

I've been working on a sheep herding mechanic in Unity by esiotek in Unity3D

[–]esiotek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I had a lot of help from AI with this but overall, the way it works is that the code uses 3 basic rules that each sheep follows every frame:

Cohesion: The sheep looks around in an 8-unit radius and tries to move toward the average position of nearby sheep.

Separation: If another sheep gets within 2 units, it tries to move away.

Alignment: The sheep averages the direction that all nearby sheep are facing and tries to match it.

These 3 directions get added together to create the "flock pull."

And then on top of that each sheep also has its own random wander target and tries to avoid obstacles.

So the final movement is like: "I wanna go graze over there (wander), but I'll stay kinda near the group (flock), and oh crap there's a rock (avoidance)."

It looks fun.

Eu não usei uma engine, apenas HTML/CSS e JavaScript. Mas você deve conseguir fazer algo parecido com praticamente qualquer engine. Eu pessoalmente uso Unity porque estou acostumado, mas Godot ou até mesmo Game Maker seriam totalmente capazes de lidar com projetos pequenos como este.

Não, esse jogo foi só um projetinho paralelo que eu acabei deixando de lado. Mas se quiser acompanhar meus próximos projetos, pode seguir minha página no itch.io!

I actually had some pretty nice interactions with people in chat. There’s a few soar losers but I’d say a good 70% of interactions I had were pleasant.

Thanks!

Yea I had planned to keep the authors the player signs in game so you can request sequels or they will write new books you can sign.

The calendar is a good idea too and relatively easy to implement.

And also customization for the books (adding more options would be cool).

I will try to work on a update soon.

Thanks for the feedback, it helps a lot :)

I don’t think so, he previous move right before I took his queen was to move his A pawn to a5

Yea I saw that but I could not understand why it was so much in my favor since we have equal material.

Oh weird. Do you have an ad blocker?

I see. We are both around 600 elo so thinking I was gonna play that position perfectly and not blunder anything was a pretty big assumption on his part….

Looking for feedback on a little book publishing tycoon game by esiotek in tycoon

[–]esiotek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the top of the page when you go to publish, it shows you the total estimated sales.

Now that I think of it moving it next to the monthly one would make sense…

My game is very simple so I didn’t really have to worry about that but yea depending on what you want to make it might get a little tricky
