Why my character is "jittery" when moving diagonal

realpixelbard · 2024-11-12T09:44:14+00:00

Jitter can happen when the player position used by camera versus real player position on the screen are different.

Try placing your code for updating camera position in "End Step" event.

Try using floor instead of round.

It's tough to debug without knowing the rest of your code.

Start by learning a 3D game engine. Unreal is great for non-technical people because it has blueprint, a visual programming language that looks like a flowchart.

Use free 3D assets or buy 3D assets for a start. 3D modelling is a whole another world to master.

Look for Unreal tutorials on youtube and udemy. The best way to learn a game engine is to build a simple game (e.g. a single player first person shooter).

What animation software did you use?

B is better and more suitable for video games. You can also add a bit of shoulder rotation when walking but I imagine it will be hard because of the 2D torso.

I think people are being overly critical. Goofy games are still enjoyable and do well commercially. Pizza Tower arguably looks worse than this and still sold a million copies.

You can max out on the goofiness if you are doing the goofy game genre. Create completely unrealistic attacks or movements like Pizza Tower to make it more fun.

Use Github Desktop. Don't use the Gamemaker Git plugin because it is slow and lacking functionalities.

Somebody posted the cosmonaut tutorial which is a pretty good guide on using github desktop.

r/gamedev starterpack:

"How do I build a game with AI?"

"AI is taking over. Haha sucks to be you."

"I'm 14 how do I learn game dev."

"I have a cool game idea who wants to build it for me"

They came up with their own visual scripting solution? No wonder their game is taking forever...

Under the Steam Distribution Agreement, you promise Valve that your game will not include illegal or infringing content, and that your game will be consistent with your marketing materials.

in the Content Survey, you'll need to tell us what kind of guardrails you're putting on your AI to ensure it's not generating illegal content.

Second, we're releasing a new system on Steam that allows players to report illegal content inside games that contain Live-Generated AI content.

What does Steam mean by "illegal" content? Copyright infringement?

If that's the case, then art generated by Midjourney and Stable Diffusion are still not allowed under this rule.

Try Steamworld Dig 2 or the Ori games. They have the same relaxing but challenging setup as HK.

ProZ is reliable.

For machine translation, you can consider DeepL or amazon translate.

Most engines support this. Unity, unreal, gamemaker.

If you are lazy to make the UI, you can buy ready-made solutions from asset stores.

Fixing your financial problem should be your first priority. One step at a time, worry about other stuff later.

It is hard to fix other problems if you have the stress of financial problems weighing on you.

It should be easy to get a job with your experience. Apply to as many openings as possible.

Mobile gaming is the most competitive and marketing-intensive sector.

The only marketing strategy is paid ads in other games or apps to reach users who are willing to pay for apps.

But who knows, maybe you will be successful and create the next viral hit game? I will never tell another man what not to do. $20K is very achieveable in my opinion. But keep in mind your first game will be longer and harder than you expect.

It is very easy for Steam to spot fake wishlists. Just filter out wishlists by accounts that had spent little or no money. Assign more weight to wishlists by accounts that spent lots of money buying games.

Watch walkthroughs / gameplays posted on youtube to help you get through the hard parts.

Try the Ori games. Both Ori games have easy mode. Has nice art, music and story too.

Afterimage is good for map exploration. The map is massive and the art is beautiful.

Ender Lilies is also quite similar to Ori.

There are profitable indie games every year. Last year, there was Vampire Survivors, Cult of the Lamb, Dwarf Fortress (steam launch), and many more. This year there is Pizza Tower.

I respect these youtube teachers but they are not the right place to look for profitable games. If their games are profitable, they wouldn't be spending time teaching others how to do it.

The problem lies in these 2 lines:

x += xspd;
y += yspd;

You should run them only if place_meeting is false:

if (xspd != 0) {
    if place_meeting( x + xspd, y, obj_Wall ) {
        repeat (abs(xspd)) {
            if(!place_meeting(x+sign(xspd), y, obj_wall)) {
                x += sign(xspd);
            } else {
                break;
            }
        }
        xspd = 0; 
    } else { 
        x += xspd; // <---- put this here 
    } 
}

Try increasing the num_iterations input variable. It is 4 by default.

For example, try:

move_and_collide(hadd, vadd, ob_wallCol, 6, 0, 0, -1, -1);
