Hahaha
Never expected that someone will use my comment anywhere XD
@DomusLudus - nobody’s being harassed here :o
If he wants something for free - look the internet through for examples, codes, ready BP’s, whatever
Coming to a forum, placing the first thread ever and “gimme bp that makes rooms”, if he gets it the same day another post “gimme working character”, another day “gimme enemies and bosses” and so on…
There are plenty of places where you can find this useful stuff called information and googling stuff doesn’t harm you
Also sometimes buying some good stuff is a good idea to support creators
here some cheaper one which is also amazing!
@abugust - Remember that 3D technique will also apply to your 2D game as it also exists in a 3D space anyway
Regarding the post again:
In my eyes it’s just spam, you may see it other way but try asking random people on street for clothes, cars, houses, coffee beans, nivea shampoo or whatever’s not a cigarette or food if they will give it away to a stranger
If they know you - it’s easier, as a stranger - at least put some effort into it to convince people ;]
Even some nice posts are being skipped and not visited so much therefore if your post looks good - it makes the people happy and soft to at least point you in the right way. Well, later he updated the post and the comment looks AMAZING now! ( I kindly advice you to put that text as post description )
@AntiGravity #Point 1 - I totally agree with that!
We don’t mind to help people look for stuff, sometimes our Google does better :P, we also don’t mind advicing or sharing our stuff but like just said - it looks like he didn’t even put any effort into searching, maybe he did but the original post looks like waiting for others to do your stuff done and that’s it…
And I like that you @DomusLudus offer help as well, that’s always good, we do as well but we also wanna have the Forum organized in some ways, for us no effort from poster - no effort from our side (at least regarding requests, cuz we put much effort into writing the comments XD) and once again - Nobody’s being harrassed here!
And the update on his post looks so well that I even started googling! XD
He showed he knows already something about the Engine, knowing that I know now that I can advice him with this, this or this and this one even has an example project so you can play around! Oh, check this one out as it also contains a project!
I know, they all don’t look like in Spelunky
Check out this video - it explains exactly how such levels are generated and instead of Noise pictures - you can work with numbers to generate different things ;]
It’s not as difficult, you just need some strict rules, as an example - you know the map XY size, from that you can apply math to create some long floors that will never reach X max size to create a hole, add some blocks above and below to create differences and so on, it’s not something to explain in raw text but it’s a tip from my side that with math and some rules (booleans and math again) you’ll be able to create simple map, more complex just needs consideration of more rules
Also a lil teaser of my room generator based on some settings
