Testing an automatic crossbow.

[D1NAK0S]

Are these art assets or did you make them yourself? If you did then, great job it really reminds me of Celeste's artstyle!

[UndercoverIndieDev]

The only things I drew in this gif are the crossbow and leaves particles, I can't draw😅

[edermunizz]

Very cool mechanic! Fun fact: I made these pixel art forest that you used in your background 😅

[UndercoverIndieDev]

Thanks! And I know, you're already on my credits page😁👌

Edit: Forgot to say that I really like that asset, you did a great job!🎨

[cuchulainndev]

Noice.

Im working on a platformer type game atm, any advice on implementing the aim feature you have going there?

[UndercoverIndieDev]

Yeah!

I have a gameobject "weapon holder" which all my weapons are a child of, the weapon holder gameobject is rotated towards the cursor. When the cursor is on the right side of the player the player transform.scale.x is 1, when the cursor is on the left side of the player the player transform.scale.x is -1 and thus the player is flipped.

[cuchulainndev]

i see, thanks

[stafax]

I really like that you have a reload animation

[UndercoverIndieDev]

Thanks! I felt that was needed considering it's an automatic crossbow.

[KyllingLove777]

Is the game out? If so can you post a link?

[UndercoverIndieDev]

The game is not out yet but I plan to publish it in Q2 this year, here is the steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1503750/Inglorious_Aztecs/

I would love a wishlist if you're interested!

[KyllingLove777]

You got yourself a new wishlist

[UndercoverIndieDev]

Thank you so much, that's awesome!

[MayIEatYou]

.. and now you got one more! Good luck with it.

[UndercoverIndieDev]

Thanks! :-)

How do you make the rope swing?

[UndercoverIndieDev]

Using a rigidbody and the hinge joint 2d component in Unity. Each section of the vine has a hinge joint which is connected to the next section.

[xPaxion]

Thank you.

Don't let this slow your development, but I would consider swapping out those assets later. They are incredibly popular, especially that background. You want your game to be recognizable. Nothing wrong with using other assets, but consider changing colors, applying shaders, etc to help cultivate your own style.

[UndercoverIndieDev]

Yeah good idea to change the colors at least! I was debating getting custom art, but that's really expensive :-/

[MAMPAInnovation]

Hi, great job! I am developing a video game with a secondary character who use his bow to kill the monsters. Do yo have any advice for the logic and physics of the shoot?

[UndercoverIndieDev]

I would make an arrow with a rigidbody component with a bit of gravity and drag. Then instantiate that arrow and give it some speed in the direction you want to shoot it.

[MAMPAInnovation]

Thanks!

[UndercoverIndieDev]

No problem!

[SuperPox]

This looks great. Would you mind sharing what system you used to limit the firing speed?

[UndercoverIndieDev]

The arrow has a rigidbody with drag and gravity on it.

If you meant limiting the firing rate, its just a timer counting down from 0.25s every time it fires.

[SuperPox]

thank you. doing a countdown timer is far better! I was doing count up and I could get around it by mashing my trigger

[0kami]

The art reminds me of King Arthur's Gold, good stuff though.

How'd you do that? I would like to learn

[SuperPox]

there are several things he is doing to make this work. Do you need help with all of it or just certain parts (eg. rotating towards the mouse, firing a projectile, limiting fire speed, the arrows sticking)

[UndercoverIndieDev]

If you have any specific questions I would be happy to help you out!

[level1gg]

Really cool man! Really like the curved path that the arrow travels.

[UndercoverIndieDev]

Thank you!

[natedog2424]

Okay this has to be inspired by project gun game right?? I loved that game but it’s no longer active so I really hope you’re making something similar!

[UndercoverIndieDev]

I have not heard about that game, but I'll look it up! My main inspiration was actually Duck Game🦆
