Let's Build an RPG in Game Builder Garage - Episode 1 (Custom character & Sprint Tutorial)

Loving the character design! 😆

[@Oribloop]

Hey Dave lol I watch your videos, they're super handy. Also yes lol very basic, but also charming in some way :)

Yeah

[@RichtersShadow]

This should be useful! I've been struggling to implement turn taking, so can't wait for that part!

[@Oribloop]

Hopefully it is! Well not to give your hopes and dreams up of this tutorial series but after looking at how to do a turn taking mechanic, it wasn't possible for this project since the way the stupid cameras work. I will be making a separate tutorial on how to do it though. It will just be very difficult to connect it to an existing project since the way the cameras work in this game. For this game though you will have just basically normal lame attacks but hopefully you will find something useful for this series. Sorry for possibly disappointing you :( Edit: Also that turn based mechanic should be coming soon, I've been working with it for a while now.

[@RichtersShadow]

Well that's good to hear :) Thanks!

[@lol-mw7zh]

@@Oribloop I'd be really interested to see it! I was trying to think of the cheapest way to do a tactical turn based game, and I think a grid is too expensive. so maybe instead you do something like press a button to move in one direction a fixed distance (one cell), and that reduces a "movement" counter by 1, so units that can move farther just have a higher movement counter total. and similar for attacks, they expend an action counter. you could have enemies using the same counters, so when all your character counters reach zero it changes the enemy counters back to their maximum amounts, and the AI just moves as if it were a realtime game except it stops when it has no more counters and then it's your turn again.... something like that??

[@Oribloop]

@@lol-mw7zh hmmm this would possibly work. Yeah it just needs to be something that isn't expensive what so ever. I've done a little planning with this combat, but all have used so many nodons and the major issue is the camera. I could try definitely doing something what you mentioned but I think it will just take time to really play around with. Thank you for giving me some ideas, I'm gonna start researching lol! :D

[@borrelsupremacy]

This is really cool! I can't wait for part two!

[@Oribloop]

Thank you very much, and yes part two coming soon!

[@werd_yo]

@@Oribloop Looking forward!!!

[@Oribloop]

Please note, there will not be a turned based mechanic in this series. I've tried working with it and tried getting it to work with the player and because the cameras work very weird in this game, I was sadly unable to get it to work. I will be posting a separate tutorial on the turn based mechanic, but it will be nearly impossible to add to an existing project. Edit: But the combat that I will be using is a button will be mapped to swing your sword, and if you hit an enemy with your sword you will kill it.

[@Toffee521]

Couldn’t you try making a separate project for the battle mechanic, and use the Swap Game Nodon to swap to that project?

[@Oribloop]

@@Toffee521 Thank you so much for mentioning this! Yes you can definitely do this. Actually I was going to make a tutorial on this exact topic in the future!

[@MrVariant]

Damn, sorry to hear. I was thinking a battle with a metal slime from dragon quest would be fun to do. Nintendo should've made easier genres and ideas let alone upload forum on system.

[@alexgamer1287]

@@MemoryBucketzi think you could ad another cylinder and color it for your hair (making the hair more short than the head)

[@JoelTheParrot]

While we're waiting on the next part, I'd like to share a tip that might have not been planned for it given Ori stated that the next part is going over some RPG elements instead. If anyone is having trouble with their character bouncing after a jump, make the connection type for the part connected to the body springy.

"Game Builder Garage is not good at RPGs" Oribloop: Seriously though, you are breaking new grounds with this project. I can't wait to see where this series goes next! =D

@@Oribloop 👍

[@korysturgess6623]

Couldn't you save two nodons by using the same Left stick nodons for regular movement and sprint?

[@Oribloop]

Totally! You can do that I just did it this way to clearly show people who are following along. But if you're aiming for a large project I would conserve as much as possible. Thank you for mentioning!

[@lol-mw7zh]

@@Oribloop to piggy back this comment I think it would be better to show the correct/optimal way of setting it up. this is looking like a really great tutorial series that I want to follow along, but not if what I'm learning is actually a bad way of doing things, if that makes sense maybe the best of both worlds would be to first do it how you did here so it's very clear, but then say "and if you want to reduce the nodon count, you can set it up like this" and then show the more efficient version

[@QuantumVoyager56]

This looks way better than a person nodon!

[@Oribloop]

Yes, I think so too! I felt the person nodon was overused.

[@PulltuxXD]

Alright so this really helps creating an RPG as I am working on a RPG names Gameboy kid

[@ashtondrye9375]

For box characters, use a moving box instead!

[@computer__eyez]

Beautifully articulated video. Subscribed will be watching your series. I’m waiting on OLED Switch, I needed a way to prototype some ideas in my mind. This is perfect. Can we write our own code in case a node does not exist? Say for example there is not a node that will allow my character to grapple hook. What code language is required?

[@Oribloop]

Ah yes the OLED Switch, I'm glad I'm able to help you get an idea of how the program works within this game! Sadly there is no way to write your own code, this game is in its own game engine (the same one Nintendo Labo used). Everything in the game can be programmed with the nodons alone, you just need an idea of the setup. Edit: thinking about it this game would be very helpful to just write out some quick Java or Python, but sadly you just gotta work with nodons.

[@therunawaykid6523]

I’m trying to make a banjo from banjo kazooie custom character to use in my banjo kazooie game, I think it will be quite difficult, I have his head and body but am struggling with attaching his ears shorts and muzzle to his head and body. I really wish there was a 3D sculptor for creating your own characters like there is in dreams, it will probably be much easier to make a 2d banjo type game and use a drawn banjo sprite instead

[@Oribloop]

Yeah no 3D sculptor here sadly. Making a banjo would be very difficult but not impossible, I would try making a 3D banjo with texture nodons for maybe the neck of the banjo, and attach that to a square object and texture the square object for the hole and bridge, and stuff. :)

@@Oribloop oh, I meant a banjo kazooie game not the musical instrument 😂😂

[@SamGzzzz]

I loved this video! I can't wait till part two but I wanted to know how (if you are) using a mouse

Oh I'm glad you like it, and yes I'm using a mouse! This game has full mouse support just plug a mouse directly in your dock.

[@SamGzzzz]

@@Oribloop Oh dang they added mouse support? That really adds to the experience, it would be cool if you could use a keyboard too, but having a mouse is still fun. Thanks for the info and I'll watch part 2 right when it comes out

[@Galeboy]

I tried to make a survival game once. i gave up when i realized its basically impossible to make a good inventory

[@Oribloop]

Yeahhh inventory is gonna be very difficult. I mean I bet it could be done, but not like your normal looking inventory. It would have to be like text that comes on the bottom of the screen and when you switch an item it displays what specific item. Actually while writing this I thought of a few ways to do this lol. If I work with it and test it out I could possibly make a tutorial.

[@Galeboy]

@@Oribloop Yeah

[@zeldan64fan50]

@@Galeboy It’s not too bad if you implement it into the UI and just have it support mouse/gyro/pointer controls. Really depends on the kind of inventory you want though.
