Wondering if anyone had any questions about the lore of my games (Kami's Quest: Highborn and Blue's Journey: Whitecrystal) as I make my next game. They do have interconnected lore, so that's why I put these in the same post.

It's called crazy hacks and it is a game where you press different buttons to test out hacks such as sky platforms, super jump, freeze time, zero gravity, wall climb and repel objects

Question/Request Need Ideas. I’m out of everything

3 Upvotes

I need ideas for games to make. Hopefully multiplayer game ideas you have here? I need something that I know is possible and my knowledge of the game is 2+ Years. Need some sort of games to make for the family or just party games. Something fun and not short. Any suggestions?

Question/Request Golf Game. Based on force of swing of club (Joy-Con)

2 Upvotes

Hello Reddit! I’m coming to ask to see if there is any way I can make a golf game that makes it so I can select players, then show with the golf game itself that has a reliable player swap mechanism for each player’s turn but for the actual game I need the golf ball to move naturally to try and hit parts of the map based on the swing of the joy-cons which for me are in accessories. Really need help with this so it would be appreciated!

Question/Request Hey, I don't have any ideas.

5 Upvotes

I have NO ideas for what to make that I could actually make. Of course I have a lot of ideas, but those are way too tough for me to make. I could barely make a bullet hell. So I came here to look for ideas. Which proceeded to be WAY too hard to make for me as well. So I'm asking y'all for some easy (but not too easy) game ideas, something along the difficulty of the last lesson (but without the handholding)

i may not be super active and this project might not ever be finished, but i thought i’d try something more simple that the engine could more easily handle. I’m moving onto bigger projects outside of gbg but i will try my best to keep in touch with this project for the fun of it!

Coming soon to GBG from CrAnbERrYs games, as a sequel to Blue's Journey: Whitecrystal. It will have better ariel movement and an entertaining parkour system (Though the wall jump does take some getting used to). You can play it right now if you visit my creator profile, you just need to download everything that says 'KQ:HB', and the title itself.

How To! Bouncing on Fall

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to make a 2d Rayman game and my person nodon has to many boxes attached to it for all of his animations so he bounces whenever he hits the ground. I’ve tried to fix it with resetting his movement speed with teleport nodons but that isn’t fluid and makes you lose all horizontal movement for a split second. Is there any other way to stop the character from bouncing while keeping the horizontal speed?

Question/Request How do I make a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or World Style Drifting?

11 Upvotes

I've been trying to make my own Mario Kart game, I've used DaveNodon's tutorial and when I test the drifting in the tutorial, it straight up slingshots the car far when pressed and on a Hill/Curve turn, i don't know if it's the Speed, Acceleration, or what. I configured it lower still did the same thing, If anyone knows how i can make a drifting close to either one of those without it being sent flying far off the map it would be very appreciated!

Question/Request Counter menu that skips disabled items?

2 Upvotes

I have a counter-based a menu of items but I have a collection of flags to keep track of which items have been unlocked. I'd like to change it so instead of having logic preventing you from confirming on an item that hasn't been unlocked yet the cursor skips over it completely. Any ideas? I'm even willing to strip out the counter if that will help.

Question/Request Objects Not Launching?

I’m using my old Nintendo labo fishing rod to make a Gatling gun game in gbg. I put an and Nodon with the rotation of the joycon connected to one port and a constant on the other the output of that is connected to the launch port of the launch nodon. (YES THE ROTATION OF THE JOYCON IS ON DIGITAL SO ITS EITHER 0 OR 1) The lower connector port of the launch nodon is connected to the upper connector port of my Gatling gun (simple object) even in the code screen the launch object input says one when I start rotation the fishing rod handle but when I do that in game nothing launches the video link might explain better

So, if you remember, around a week ago I made a post on this sub promoting the demo for the game I was making and now that game is finished! The GBG.shop page is https://gbgshop.squirclesapps.com/dl/v/m/9e695f/r/jGpLRouITWOVFYQVjRh5gQ

and if you aren’t signed up or are simply too lazy to do that (no offense I honestly am the same) the codes are right here

G 007 XTY 3YJ - 1-3

G 008 0RH M06 - 4

G 007 RXR 1X8 - Boss 1

G 007 VWB JXX - Boss 2

Also this game is not perfect and it’s not supposed to be, I’m sure there’s a sensor that’s still visible and I know for sure that I accidentally left something in that isn’t used but I hope you like it anyway and lmk what you think

Question/Request How do I stop moving objects from rotating?

2 Upvotes

In my game, a moving object moves in a specific direction based off of what button you press. However, the moving object will always drift and rotate instead of one clean motion. I've tried to set it to zero gravity, but that just makes it so it keeps going in that direction until I make it go in the opposite direction.

Garage Creation I made memory platforms!

So, when you stay inside the ring, you can see the platforms, but when you exit, you can't!
However you can still stay on the platforms!
I dont know how i can add an image/video of it to this reddit post tho.

I spent around 2 and a half hours on it and wanted to share it. Lower arrows do nothing for now because there isn't really a way to make the person crouch, and I was too lazy to implement another system that would teleport a smaller person and stuff
