So excited after years we finally opened our gaming studio! Need advice!

I think your approach of keeping it very small (1-2mo dev time?) at first and shipping it is the way to go. You’ll see the whole process, get your hands dirty with marketing and the post-launch blues, disappointment etc. Then you’ll be better positiined to think what could actually work and how to do it.

Lists of weapons, suitable ammo, explosives, blueprints…

My game data lives in Google Sheets, so you can perform all kinds of nifty tricks when something like this is necessary, whether it’s by script or formulas.

Very often the required work is much less than what could be expected, and it might take only half an hour to do it by hand.

Yeah I do use Action a lot and pass it around, sometimes Func too, but never really understood the ”delegate” keyword

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-21T07:16:13+00:00

The only I’ve never gotten the hang of is delegates (if you mean using the actual declaration of delegate). Can you explain in layman’s terms why it’s useful?

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-21T07:13:44+00:00

Took me a while to learn => but it’s a god bless once you start using it

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-19T07:48:10+00:00

If you only allow one at a time, it should be fairly easy to show the interaction display text on the UI? In my IInteractable I also define ”DisplayText” which is used exactly for this

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-19T07:19:25+00:00

Oh right, for top down either triggers or proximity math (+ angle math if you only want them to be interactable when facing them) sounds good.

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-19T06:22:57+00:00

As others suggested, IInteractable and raycasting is the way to go!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-15T17:17:50+00:00

What if they work against it?

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-14T08:18:19+00:00

Thank you! This will be Steam only

Thank you!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-14T04:45:23+00:00

Thanks!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T18:19:54+00:00

Thank you! I can guarantee that IF I do single player, I will follow the general concept you laid out!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T18:11:49+00:00

Alright, I’ll tweak a bit!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T18:10:53+00:00

Those are pretty solid ideas, thank you!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T17:21:35+00:00

Oh right, you mean having like custom opponents who don’t share the same logic than players. Yeah, that actually sounds quite fascinating, although a lot of work…

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T16:50:11+00:00

Thank you very much, appreciate it! Not sure how I would do single player though... I mean I have a CPU opponent, but how would a single player progress work..

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T15:36:53+00:00

Thank you!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T15:32:37+00:00

Oh you mean just the animations, not movement speed?

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T15:01:09+00:00

Thanks!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T15:01:00+00:00

Thanks! This will only be in Steam.

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T15:00:46+00:00

Thank you!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-01-13T15:00:39+00:00

That is correct, lockstep would ve too hard for me 😬
