3:00 PM

went to best buy played with some chrome books.. they arent going to cut it

heh

I am looking at an Air myself

trying to find a place to sell off some extra gadgets

ok gotta head out for now. have fun

later dude

hows everyone else doing

what the heck is a full rotation in unity?

lol

3:04 PM

@Jon how far up do i need to scroll to figure out what your doing

tranform.rotation doesn't seem to map to Math.Pi

are you using Rotate Around Point?

I want to rotate around a point for 90 degrees

and are you using this: docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.RotateAround.html ?

its cool i got it

i just kept track of the number of ticks instead.. its the unity way

yeahusing that

3:08 PM

oh sorry almo beat me to the punch like an hour ago

3:26 PM

yo

what it looks like now

4:01 PM

Nice.

answers.unity3d.com/questions/888907/…

4:21 PM

@Jon bullet patterns for my shmup

@JesusChrist bullet patterns for top down shooter

cool

I need to make a bunch of terms up and make some devlog videos

This is the time to make up words and have them taken seriously.

yup

Do it right and people'll be referencing your videos for years.

4:34 PM

bunch of terms up for what?

veee-arrrrr

@erebel55 RV and other random things I want to make up terms for :P

Some of the things I use to make bullet patterns seems very strange and non intuitive but makes impressive results so I'll probably record some of that and use some made up terms for things that I am not even sure what I am doing

All I can think of when watching that samsung gear videos is this

5:02 PM

NSFW maybe: youtube.com/watch?v=zpDZxrY2R-4

user92578

more like NotGoodForWork

maybe

well, a co-worker pasted that for me while he was at work

so I guess it depends, I know there are some workplaces where people watch porn openly

I can imagine someone watching that video at a workplace like that and their boss comes by "porn is fine, but screaming fish? damn you guys"

Q: Feature request: Grant chat privilege

It's been an issue for a while, brand new users who need help can't get it because their questions are off topic for the site, and they can't gain reputation because they're new to game dev (so find it hard to answer questions) and they can't ask the questions they want (because they're off topic...

feature-request chat new-users

5:39 PM

@Lasse LOL

Also...

nice

Especially the subtle animation for the yellow block as it turns

thanks

i should be able to whip up a small demo soon

all of sudden I want to generate jigsaw puzzles

oh, I got an idea already

now I started to feel lazy, meh I guess tomorrow is good for jigsaw generator

I have these moments a lot :(

5:58 PM

lol

I'M SUPER MOTIVate..d.... meh

super motivameh

6:16 PM

@Jon that rotation animation bothers me

@Jon make the pivot point in the center and make the pivot point not move

cause the center moves and it looks really strange

IDK what to think about tallowmere anymore. "Autoclicker Required" is kind of turning me off

6:41 PM

@AttackingHobo i think the difficulty could scale a bit slower, but its hardly "autoclicker required" from my view

hey

@Chris OMFGOMFGOMFG

TALLOWMERE ON THE THIRD

when did you say this and why was I not informed :P

@Pip you better buy two copies

y?

Multiplayer?

i was just saying represent GDSE and such

:)

6:45 PM

@Joe It's not very accessible. I don't literally want to be in pain while playing a game to the best of my abilities

Chris needs to step up his game

AAA title next, with only himself as the team

@AttackingHobo you were right

user image

gogogogo

@Jon 100000000000x better

ypu thanks

6:46 PM

nice and smooth

yeah, much better

But seriously tallowmere is broken because of the 60x per second attack rate

and I may be wrong, but if played on a 120hz game you could even attack faster

@Chris make note on opinion of the hobo above

@Pip we talked a ton last night. He was being stubborn about it not being a big deal at all

ah

6:47 PM

For me its game breaking

idk then

I just go around holding sheild, and the instanty I unshield I can attack at 60 times per second

@Jon now can you make that green HUD element more accurately represent the resting state of the new shape?

it is the resting location

or is the bottom longer because the element in front of it actually covers it up?

6:49 PM

@Jon make the green shape the same size as the real shape

what I need to do, is think of a better way to do it

@AttackingHobo I was thinking, could add a small input limit

i was thinking of having the same shape/color as the preview piece... and then fade out the original behind it

@Chris something at least. I can click ~12 times a second but it starts hurting my finger after a bit

throw a opacity on the GUI element also... will loook slick

6:50 PM

@Joe no it will look slice

@Jon your game looks so slice!

its so sharp is looks sliced

its so sliced cuz of how sharp i am

yahhhh

@AttackingHobo indeed. legit playing, you pace yourself, but in dire times I speed up when I think it's worth it lol

@Jon lol

@Chris I honestly just don't like playing games that physically damage my body.

I hurt my fingers pretty bad when I was playing too much crazy taxi

make you damage your body you mean

self control!

I know what you mean though

6:54 PM

I am competitive. I want to play as good as I can possibly play, and if the game doesn't have sane limits I avoid it

set left mouse hold to repeat attack at the designated fastest pace

see how horrible it feels

@Joe thats what I did

I used an autoclicker

It was fun for a bit then just annoying

im saying chris should try it as a test

worth an experiment

@Joe it's boring, unless maybe it was done in spurts

mmm

none of the charging enemies could touch me

and I could take down bosses way too fast

6:55 PM

this is an interesting limitation and couldbe a new mechanic

implement this... and you could introduce attack speed attributes easily

yeah

i think this should be fixed

I want to use skill to beat the game, not physical endurance

introduce a artificial input lag

No not lag. just a rate limiter

well yeah thats what I meant

max click speed basically

6:56 PM

@Jon MAYBE... I think its worth looking into though

If I wanted to play a game with physical endurance I would go outside

I want strategy and positioning to determin my skill, not how fast I can click

I honestly dont mind it

i think i might pick up smoking

but I think its a valid point

Plus it looks shitty. The ax rarely looks like moves. occasionally goes backwards. otherwise its just out forward

@Jon cigs?

6:59 PM

yep

11$ a pack now

i think

Fucking disgusting

looks awesome just figured i'd start doing it

user image

sounds like a well thought out plan lol

hard habit to shake, for me it was at least

I think it's a bad idea

but then again, it's your life to ruin @Jon :P

you should start on the easy stuff

user image

7:14 PM

i prefer these

user image

I had candy cigs as a kid

never smoked real ones though

i actually smoked for about 5 years

way back when i was a stupid kid

heh

my wife used to smoke

but only when others were

she'll still have one on occasion, like once every 6 months to a year

they don't have the affect of addiction in her for some reason

its a shitty addiction i been struggling with having quit for a while

I read about what nicotine does to you brain cells on wikipedia... sounds like a really really hard thing to break

7:20 PM

even this conversation is giving me second thoughts lol and ive been quit for years

oh no

don't do it man!

haha i wont unless today takes a horrible turn for the worse but its something that you are just stuck with

smoke it

it's all from the devil, thou

last thing I would do... is listen to @JesusChrist so ill be allright

lol

the power of Christ compels you

7:23 PM

which is basically turning water into wine

oh yeah, and walking on water

that could be an expensive talent depending on the quality of the wine

probably really shitty wine

0.5%

user image

So a guy with a gun just got inside the building of the main news show in The Netherlands and demanded time on air.

Luckily, he has been apprehended.

7:41 PM

Anyone hurt? Or was it just "a guy with a gun"?

crazy people

yep

No one seems to be hurt.

8:09 PM

alright, adding an attack rate limit of 80ms, about 12.5 attacks per second

cracked under the pressure

;)

this is what testing is for

quiet in here today

@Chris ETA of beta?

Make a game, and call it Beta

8:18 PM

lol

Alpha of Beta released

Now in Beta!

if you've bought it before there's keys available

on... uh... where was it

indiegamestand

?

maybe

I'll find out

cool, the "Request Steam Key" thing worked

now to try it on Steam

sweet

8:20 PM

i gotta redeem mine too

The Arch Linux Steam version is hella sketch

there's an OpenGL error but it still works :P

Error you suck!

lol

yeah I had some OpenGL error on Ubuntu to when launching Steam?

god damnit it has to update too :/

8:21 PM

I was reading up on a fix, you have to delete some Steam files or something?

@Chris yeah, it's because Steam ships with it's own libs

yeah.... eh.

it overrides the system ones

I got it fixed and it played smoother

but then Steam updated and it reverted the changes I made lol

I've never heard about that on Ubuntu before, huh

8:22 PM

yeah I dunno, was new to me

yeah, it does that. There's an issue on Github

whereas say on SteamOS, everything was super smooth, the install, the drivers

was quite impressed

noice

really is made for a living room console box

cool. How does it compare to other consoles?

8:25 PM

I mean if the games you want to play are on Steam and have controller support, could be a serious option to consider

also, what are the min specs for Tallowmere on Linux? This laptop has some pretty bad specs

cool

@Pip like, ideally maybe 2 GHz for decent play? My old 1 GHz laptop runs it, kinda poorly but it's still playable

as one customer said, "this runs on my crapbox yay"

cool

The processer is like... 1.6 GZ I THINK

should be okay

apparently it's 1.2 GZ

but we'll see

how did you make the assets so tiny?

8:29 PM

low res pixel art

eh, that's true

liar

Also, my RAM is DDR2 D:<

again.... this laptop is from 2010 or something, so...

It was crappy then too (kinda)

sprites are like 12 MB
sounds/music are 100 MB lol

my laptop is from 2007

wow, only 12MB

8:33 PM

2007 in computer years is pretty significant

if it runs on a 2007 pc, it probably runs on pretty much anything now

1 GHz, 1 GB RAM

loads slowly and input delay is kind of arse, but it goes

@Chris can I run it from command line? It crashes immediately

i have an older dell laptop

@Pip it's probably that OpenGL crap

lemme try and find the log file location

kk

config works, window opens, then crash

8:37 PM

blame it on the rain

~/.config/unity3d/Chris McFarland/Tallowmere/Player.log

does that exist?

hmmm

I can't find the game root

/home/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common ?

but I think the log goes elsewhere as above

huh

I'll find out

Alright, found Tallowmere

found the log

can you paste it?

8:41 PM

yeah

says GPU not supported

pastebin.com/ViuaM9sQ

"PlayerInitEngineGraphics: GPU not supported; OpenGL GLSL support is required."
ah damn

yeah that's cuz of that OpenGL error on steam startup

graphics drivers are being dumb

yeah

Hm, some initiative to fix that :D

unfortunately the fix is up to the user >_<
arrgh hmm

and it's cuz of that steam malarky

yeah

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/steam#Steam_runtime_issues

steamcommunity.com/app/204240/discussions/0/619568192919796654/…

8:45 PM

yeah, following instructions

@Pip always working so hard to get linux to prove itself.

it does it automatically

@Chris

[user@BEN-PC-ARCH Tallowmere]$ find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete
/home/user/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
/home/user/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
/home/user/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.18
/home/user/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1.1.0

so if you restart steam

no OpenGL error?

I'll have to try this again myself and make a thread in my forum

works well now

very well, actually

that's the command to remote all libs on a linux system btw

pretty sure that isn't arch specific

yep cool
glad it's sorted, thanks for testing

I will write this up soon

8:52 PM

no probs

I'll ttyl, gotta head home

byee
