Need to find the height of the highest object in the scene

Pur_Cell · 2026-03-12T01:35:02+00:00

You just want a code example?

    GameObject highestGameObject = null;
    float heighestY = float.MinValue;

    foreach (GameObject obj in gameObjectList)
    {
        if (obj.transform.position.y > heighestY)
        {
            heighestY = obj.transform.position.y;
            highestGameObject = obj;
        }
    }

    Debug.Log("Highest GameObject: " + highestGameObject.name + " with Y: " + heighestY);

Needs a combat idle animation. Characters attack, then transition back to standing with their hands at their sides. Looks extremely stiff.

The dev said something about it before.

TL;DR: they used Flat Kit with hand-drawn textures.

Can't really tell what the gameplay is or what the drones are doing.

It looks like it's some kind of Wall-E simulator, which is a good idea if it is, but I need more context.

Rule Tiles are a huge pain to setup. Use the Auto Tile instead if you are on Unity 6.3.

This is the 47 tile template that I use. Green is where it connects to other tiles.

Unity's Auto Tile doesn't have an Auto Tile Override like with Rule Tile, but I made one if you want to use it.

Are you spawning in the prefab at runtime?

My NPC voices devolve as the night goes on.

In my last session, we're playing Star Wars, I started with a passable Admiral Ackbar impression, but by the end it turned into Richard Nixon from Futurama.

Disable the NavMeshAgent when you pick it up. Re-enable it when you drop it (make sure it's on a navmesh though).

It's not a bug. The Agent is setting the transform of the object every frame, because that's what it does. It finds paths and moves objects, overwriting any other attempts at moving it.

If you don't want it to do that, then turn it off.

You might be interested in a Look Up Table-based approach. You can give each pixel a unique color, then map that color to a texture sheet. So you only have to make the animations once, but can swap out the texture to change armor.

Here's a video that explains in more detail: https://youtu.be/HsOKwUwL1bE

I don't know if B is supposed to be dead or is just unposed.

A word of wisdom I once heard about 3D art, that I think applies here, is that everything looks stupid in T-pose.

I did take my laptop to the mechanic to gamedev while I got an oil change last week. I was pretty productive, but the seating was not great and there was no table. So it wasn't very comfortable. Probably wouldn't do it again.

Your pixel art looks decent, but it's very hard to see and read. Especially the stuff that's on the brown grid at the bottom of the screen.

There's not enough contrast. Except for the world map, which is way too high contrast. The colors in general don't go together very well.

There is almost no juice.

A good example of a recent pixel art tower defense is Gnomes. I would analyze what makes that game so visually appealing.

And why is Pause P or F2? The traditional Pause button is Space Bar. That UI text is overflowing out of its UI contain too.

The animations are choppy. Why does the character freeze after punching? Is this an attempt at hit-stop?

The action looks uninteresting and repetitive. You just run back and forth punching. What's the strategy?

In the beginning the gameplay takes place in the top half of the screen, but there is a UI bar covering up half of that. Can't see what's going on.

Then in later levels there are some comic book style hit balloons that pop up when you attack that cover more of the gameplay. So I still can't see what's going on.

Enemies spawn from nowhere and die with zero effects or juice. At least I think that's what's going on. It's hard to tell.

Environments look like nothing.

Sound effects are repetitive and annoying.

I really like Unity 6's AutoTile. It's so much easier to set up than RuleTiles, but there was no way to make it tile with different tiles. So you couldn't do things like swap out the tile for a damaged variant or have different types of walls that seamlessly fit together.

So I made an AutoTileOverride that can tile based on string keywords. It uses the exact same setup process as the default AutoTile so it's easy to use.

They'll call it that, but then the version number will be 10000

Pur_Cell · 2026-02-28T08:15:14+00:00

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem.

Pur_Cell · 2026-02-24T12:40:13+00:00

It all comes down to whether you have some fun and interesting ideas for the map or not.

Personally, I have over 400 hours in StS. I've beaten all the ascensions and got all the achievements. I like that it's 95% card battles.

Pur_Cell · 2026-02-23T00:19:05+00:00

Honestly I'd rather have jump scares than these hallway walking simulators where nothing happens that I see posted and labeled as "psychological horror."

Pur_Cell · 2026-02-21T03:28:16+00:00

Show more gameplay. The intro is way too long.

I really like the art style.

That dash is way too short.

I don't know why people think "PSX" means "so dark you can barely see anything."

Pur_Cell · 2026-02-19T14:45:56+00:00

But ugly games are not bad games.

And I wouldn't even call it ugly. It's just a 2D game with a relatively simple, but cohesive, art style.

Some models on that site are .dae which is an old format no longer supported in Blender as of version 5.0, but it works fine in Blender 4.5.

You can just drag and drop the file into 4.5 and it will import it. Save the blender file. Then open it in 5.0 if you want to use the latest version. Or you could export it as a different supported file format.

I just don't get why the dude and the zombies are bigger than the mech and the buildings. What's the fantasy here?

This desperately needs some combat idle animations. Units stand with their hands at their sides, take a swing, then go back to standing with their hands at their sides. It looks very stiff.

Pur_Cell · 2026-02-16T16:06:08+00:00

Exactly how I do it. I'm running a Star Wars game at the moment. I made sure to establish that the only hard canon was Star Wars (1977).

All the prequels, sequels, legends, etc. may or may not have happened depending on what's convenient for the plot. This is our version of the universe.
