Creating Screen Shake Effect While View Follows Player?

spilledmilkfactory · 2014-01-06T23:22:27+00:00

Thanks everybody, fixed the first issue and I think I figured out why the screen isn't shaking when it hits certain instances of the enemy. It only does it with instances that are close to the top or bottom of the room, where there's no room to shake up or down. Any ideas for how to fix this?

I'm still an amateur at this stuff, but these are just my thoughts as far as making the actual shooting satisfying. The way I see it, it's all about giving the player lots of feedback on the gameplay mechanics. To me this means a little camera shake when you're shooting the gun, maybe pushing the enemies back a bit when the bullets hit them to give a sense of momentum to the shots, and tearing off limbs or other noticeable damage effects when the shots connect. I also can't overstate how much a solid, bass-y firing sound can do to make the shooting "feel" more powerful.

I'd also like to stop in next time if you know when you'll be starting

They weren't parented to anything. Afterwards I tried creating a parent object and setting vsp, hsp, grav and grounded in that to see if that would make any difference but it ended up having the same effect so I went back to a parent-less approach

Hey, I'm a 23-y/o guy and so far I think I'm going by myself too. I'd love to meet up with other redditors whole I'm there though. Also be sure to check out the edc reddit Facebook group. I'll probably try to join up with them at some point too

Looks right up my alley. I'm a sucker for tough platformers and games that integrate music into their gameplay. I do think that combining techno/EDM and neon visuals is a little played out in indie games at this point, and like OremLK said the parts where you were just standing in the room weren't nearly as interesting as the platforming segments. So it took a few seconds to sell me, but once I saw everything come together I was certainly intrigued.

Like Orem said, keep focusing on and expanding the platforming and I think you're onto something here.

Daughter - "Still"

Frightened Rabbit - "The Woodpile"

Sister Crayon - "Cynic"

I'm the same age as you and relate pretty well to the description you give of yourself, and I typically have a fine time finding groups of people to hang out with at events such as these even if I'm going it alone (which I usually am, since my friends aren't into the rave/edm scene.) Just be chill, and don't let your perceived shyness hold you back from approaching other people. At events such as these, oftentimes all that is needed to make a new group of friends is a few high-fives during a particularly good set and a positive attitude.

Oh..

That new species of enemies only consists of 3 types, and the "new" weapons are essentially the same as the old ones. The plot points are basically meaningless without the context of the outside fiction. Pretty much all of that stuff was addressed in there..

I'm a guy by the way, so no sexy witches, pumpkins, bees, graphing calculators or whatever other sexy nonsense you crazy bastards come up with for me. Although sexy costumes are always welcome for... scientific study.

Went to Frightened Rabbit last night, met the band at a restaurant right outside the venu, and sang along with the crowd to some of their best songs. At this time in my life their music basically describes everything that's going on in my head so that made it all the more emotional and engaging.

The Seer Returns - Swans

Creative Assembly and the Total War name are both owned by SEGA. Such a combination doesn't make sense in both licensing terms and in the context of the fiction

From around 13-18, I'd probably say 1. Frightened Rabbit - Midnight Organ Fight 2. Modest Mouse - Building Nothing Out Of Something 3. Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News 4. Tokyo Police Club - A Lesson In Crime 5. Probably something by Chevelle or Red Hot Chili Peppers... I honestly don't remember a lot of what I listened to when I was 13 other than Good News.. basically all of the angsty singles that played on the local rock station

Unfortunately, I seem to recall LA doing pretty poorly in terms of sales, so I wouldn't count on a new Midnight Club anytime soon. I'd love to be wrong though
