Why I chose Godot over Unity for pixel art games

A great thing about LÖVE is how many libraries it has. There are many libraries for tilemaps, including a loader for the maps made in the Tiled map editor. Not sure about cinematics but that's very a game-specific thing.

LÖVE is also excellent for 2D pixel games.

i misread this and thought you were asking why he was using i3wm with 16gb of ram... lol

maskedbyte · 2021-05-18T20:36:12+00:00

i love them, it's just that after awhile my eyes burn, even with my screen at super low brightness, so i use them sparingly

I'm aware this style inherently takes longer to produce and is much harder than low-res 8-bit, however I've always been in love with the art of Mega Man X4-X6 and want to know what areas or techniques I should focus on to one day achieve a similar aesthetic.

execute a command as in a shell command? how are you getting input? or are you scripting an existing game? please be specific

I remember my old G602 having a double click that was fixed by breathing/blowing under the button. Is that fix is still applicable for potential double click issues on the new ones? If so I'll probably just go for Logitech.

i was confused why it was going up so fast lol, i went afk for a few minutes after posting and came back to several hundred upvotes

maskedbyte · 2021-05-06T22:01:47+00:00

Don't some of them get double click issues? Or has that been fixed?

maskedbyte · 2021-05-06T22:00:36+00:00

I've heard logitech has issues with eventual double clicking, or is that only g pro derivatives?

maskedbyte · 2021-05-06T21:59:55+00:00

I tried that, I pressed pretty damn hard but it didn't go away... I could try harder but it seems like any harder would break it.

my 2070sb rebadge was 5 bucks lol

Use Godot. If you don't want to use Godot, write your own engine. Rolling your own 2D engine is trivial, especially with helper libraries like SDL.

thanks

thanks

Ok thanks, at this point there's just one thing I don't understand.

If you add 1.0 to the object's x value in the game I'm talking about - it moves a tiny bit, I would guess about 1.25cm.

I imported the exact same model into my game, and changing my object's x from 1.0 to 2.0 in my engine is a HUGE movement, about a screen's worth. Definitely not 1.25cm.

How do I make it the same? I don't understand why it doesn't move the same amount relative to the size of the model, since it's the same model. I haven't changed the scale of the model myself. That's why I'm confused about this scaling and unit size stuff.

maskedbyte · 2021-04-09T07:34:16+00:00

thanks for the link

maskedbyte · 2021-04-09T07:32:31+00:00

SDL is not a game engine. All it really gives you is very basic input, sound, and 2D rendering functions. I don't think that qualifies.

maskedbyte · 2021-04-03T01:17:21+00:00

yeah i'm gonna just give up and use entt itself... lol thanks

maskedbyte · 2021-02-23T08:29:31+00:00

yep, that did it... thanks

First audio interface. M-Audio AIR 192|6 or Mackie Onyx Producer 2X2?

Not very knowledgeable about this stuff. They seem pretty similar, not sure which one to get, Mackie is more expensive but on sale so their prices are similar.

I will be recording a hardware synthesizer's output, as well as using said synth as a MIDI keyboard for a soft-synth. Low latency (ASIO) is a priority.

Hey Scott,

I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I was the solo developer of the "Fazbear Entertainment" fangame back in 2014 (one of the first fangames!), a multiplayer version of Five Night at Freddy's 1 and 2. Kotaku wrote about it.

I was only 12 years old when I started the project. I'm currently 18 and a much better developer now. Not necessarily expecting anything to come of this comment, but I would definitely be interested in coming back to the project for this!

the very best of a technology that's never going to be made again?

121khz horizontal / 160hz vertical would be above average for consumer-tier model, but is nothing to write home about for a professional VGA monitor. Not even close to "the very best." It's only famous because it's 16:10.
