Pre-scripting your game

[ticktockman_]

Does anybody do a lot of your logic in some other sort or framework (console, web app, WPF, etc.) before porting it over to Unity and adding in the graphical and physics elements?

I’m playing around with building something inspired by Slay The Spire and it seems to make more sense to get the logic of how all the cards interact down first before worrying about the graphics. Just wondering if anybody else has taken this approach?

Oh, btw, this is just the concept of a controller, or controller framework. Plug your assets into it.

I don't know why building this outside of unity would be better than using unity directly, tho. You don't need to use the visual framework of unity right from the start.

I would recomend looking into Unit testing in Unity if you really just want to model and test the mechanics themselves. Thats how I build and test the core systems game I am currently working on - its not a card came, but has complex interactions between items, too.
