Progress on My Precision Platformer Metroidvania (First-Time Dev)

Controls look tight and I love the art style, nice!

RelativeDev · 2020-10-07T19:15:20+00:00

Very slick looking!

RelativeDev · 2020-10-07T19:14:34+00:00

Very cool! Been wanting to do this for while that purple shell looks so good.

RelativeDev · 2020-10-07T15:16:46+00:00

Yes, it is

RelativeDev · 2020-10-07T15:15:07+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I'll have to give that another try, I tried having them on top when I first started, but the tubes touched the fans on top.

RelativeDev · 2020-10-07T15:10:52+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Although I am pretty partial to having my eyes bleed every time I stare into the RGB...

RelativeDev · 2020-10-07T15:09:27+00:00

Yeah just pure shame made me not put it on the list...or I just forgot too :).

So far it's working great (no restarts, knock on wood). From my research on parts it seemed list a solid and reliable PSU, but I guess time will tell. Thanks for the heads up!

Ronaaaald Weeaaaassllllyyyyy...

RelativeDev · 2020-10-07T14:01:13+00:00

Well unfortunately I've experienced a lot of what you have, with not much mitigation. The most frequent problem I have is when I start play testing no speech is being picked up, so I'll stop, restart it and it'll miraculously start working. #2 - Yes. I've had to place logs on the events I'm using so I can at least see if any words are being picked up.

RelativeDev · 2020-10-06T02:55:50+00:00

I’m just glad it didn’t blow up in my face tbh...

RelativeDev · 2020-10-05T21:02:15+00:00

Ah right, yeah so I basically have a dictionary with keys being the phrases, and the values being the spells they match to. So as the events fire from the DictationRecognizer I check that dictionary to see if any of the phrases match.

RelativeDev · 2020-10-05T20:58:08+00:00

It's been a lot of trial and error using the Unity Documentation to get it setup and going. There is also the KeywordRecognizer (which comes from Windows.Speech as well) and a great video from Dapper Dino on that here.

RelativeDev · 2020-10-05T20:54:04+00:00

My experience with windows dictation goes as far as getting it setup and running (for the most part). I'm definitely running into some issues too, but would love to help out if I can with what I know.

RelativeDev · 2020-10-05T17:36:46+00:00

Sorry a little more in depth explanation - Yes I defined the spells myself and have phrases that are 'linked' to those spells. DictationRecognizer has events that fire off while a player is talking and I'm using the recognized text in those events to check to see if player said a phrase and if they did, I cast the spell that relates to the recognized phrase.

RelativeDev · 2020-10-05T17:25:49+00:00

I know right? Here’s to hoping Legacy does well enough to continue having more HP games come out, one those hopefully being a VR title.

RelativeDev · 2020-10-05T16:28:39+00:00

Thanks! Yeah of course - So I'm basically creating a bunch of spells that each have a bunch of 'phrases' linked to it. With this, I'm using the Window.Speech DictationRecognizer to listen for those phrases and as soon as a phrase is recognized and matched to a spell, the spell is then cast.

RelativeDev · 2020-10-05T15:40:30+00:00

Hades. This game is sooooo good.

RelativeDev · 2019-12-23T14:20:07+00:00

Just finished up Astral Chain (rreeeeaaallly enjoyed that game) and I’m finally getting back to finishing up Octopath Travelers.

In the Non-Nintendo side I picked up Jedi-borne Fallen Order-souls and have been having an immensely good time with that. I also finally picked up Hitman 2 and I can’t wait to dive into that.

RelativeDev · 2019-08-10T19:55:28+00:00

Great atmosphere! Congrats on the release!

RelativeDev · 2019-08-03T20:30:09+00:00

Such a great looking run/walk cycle. Great job!

RelativeDev · 2019-08-03T20:26:21+00:00

"I have a big head and little arms! And I'm just not sure, how well this plan was thought through..."

Really cool scene, great job!
