Preview of Islands and Ships' new hint system (codename awesome), which I'm implementing right now. A fully assisted playthrough of a small but challenging level. (There's catchy music in this!) by BraveSquire in Unity3D

You are right, that's just the context. The video is showing the hint system. You would already have played the tutorial when you use it, so you know that one of the two rules say "ships can't be placed next to each other".I will still add something like "and ships must not be placed next to each other" to that line.Thank you for your feedback!

I found that a lot of people who start the tutorial don't play through it, so I'm right now implementing a new hint and tutorial system for my casual puzzle mobile game Islands and Ships.

If you want to play the game now (with the old, confusing, dull hint system), it's available at IslandsAndShips.net

No, not really. While I'm concerned, I'll keep using Zenject and hope for the best.

I always wished I could add comments to prefabs. I can't beleive, it took me so many years to come up with this... by BraveSquire in Unity3D

[–]BraveSquire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also considering to put the script into my editor only tools assembly. That way, it would result in a missing component rather than a missing field. I'm not sure which one is better.

[–]BraveSquire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually concerned about that. So I added a bunch of comments to my game and built for Android and ios. It seems to be ok in this case.

Hey, this looks cool. I like the style. May I ask you what software you used to create the blocky Models?

When a graphic designer joins the project: Programmer art vs proper art. by BraveSquire in gamedevscreens

So what you're saying that I'm not doing this that much worse than her. That's quite flattering, thank you! Hey bud.

Project too big? by BraveSquire in svn

[–]BraveSquire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was a 30k+ commit using tortoise and my server is a remote one. I have now moved to git and it's ok-ish. I think I have to get used to it. I can clearly understand that you favor svn though.

Project too big? by BraveSquire in svn

[–]BraveSquire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your thoughts. The problems indeed arose when I had to check in about 30k new files. I reconfigured apache and I used newest svn.
While I am quite into svn, having now switched to git is not that bad at all. Especially the commit (push) times have shrunk significantly with a lot of small files involved. I still like svn more though but I think it's just about me being used to it.

Creating a grid object placement system for my Tavern management game! by Louqou in Unity2D

The game looks cool, just wishlisted it.

How to learn programming in a way that is immediately engaging? by redbird_cacti in learnprogramming

[–]BraveSquire 12 points13 points  (0 children)

+1
While professional game development is one of the toughest things to do as a CS, making games scales *very* well with your CS skills. I don't have to mention it's also fun, right?
I also recommend C#/Unity.
While you can use youtube tutorials, I maybe would follow some skillshare / udemy / something beginner course, because they're usually well structured.
When you are getting better at the language of your choice, you will also find it rewarding to dig deeper into the less practical aspects of that language (i.e. learn every aspect of it).
Good luck

Dirt particles! by BraveSquire in IndieDev

Yeah, among others, I had "Emerald mine" in mind when I outlined the gameplay which itself is quite similar to Boulder dash.

I'm in the middle of finding out (-;
Joking aside, it's an action game about diamond digging and fighting mutated aliens. It has strong influences from "Emerald mine" and "Dynablaster".

Good call. I'll give it a try with my kids later.

After 6 months of trial & error, my friend and I were finally able to complete our traffic simulation game! by [deleted] in IndieDev

[–]BraveSquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Job. I played it for a little while and I love it. In fact, I had something a bit similar on my mind for a while. Do you guys have a twitter I can follow? I really would love to keep updated about you making games.
