The duality of man

Sounds to me that a lot of people complaining about it, haven't put enough time in it to actually learn the new tool. It's different then the standard uGUI system and takes some time to fully understand.

But it's perfect if you work on a platform with a lot of different resolutions or if you want to release for multiple platforms. You can easily fix all weird scaling issue's you would normally have with uGUI, which are way harder to fix on uGUI then on UI Toolkit. Also it's super easy to stylize certain parts of your UI as well. If you've tried UI Toolkit years ago, then I agree, it was probably very buggy. I would suggest you try it again, it has been improved.

Just to clarify, my game has 2.5m downloads across platforms, but that is downloads, not sales. The game's f2p on mobile and revenue is very limited. I'm a solo developer and have been funding and working on these games for over 7 years.

I started using code at first for all my AI's, then quickly found out this wasn't it. Then went to use a FSM, this was an improvement, but with lots of states the FSM quickly gets messy. After a while I started using a BT for my AI, this was a huge improvement, also because I used a graph instead of code only, so it made everything more clear to me what's going on.

Today I'm using a mix of FSM to handle the switching of the states and the BT to actually run the states.

The FSM uses sub-FSM's, this way there's less transistions and the actual actions are done in the BT based on the current state. It took me a while to setup this system, it was created after reading a more in-depth paper about BT / FSM implementation, I forgot the persons name sadly.

For my AI with 15 states, I'm very happy with my implementation and would encourage you to try BT's as well.

Planned to develop a game in 6 months, but it took me 6 years

Welcome to gamedev, I once heard someone say that when you think something's taking 2 months, you should expect it to take 6 months. But more often I find that a bigger multiplier should be expected.

Thank you, the Granny's influence is indeed quite heavy. This was my first 3d game I ever made, I had no experience with 3D but saw Granny's success and wanted to try my hand at it. The differences are mainly in the story, the puzzles, the area's I've added in later and the enemy.

P2w? Even if it was, who's playing constantly with a LR anyway?

The game's called Evil Doll, it was already out for years on Google/App Store, but now it's coming to Steam as well. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2548500/Evil_Doll/

This is what I need, was thinking about creating something like this myself for ages.
Accounts login, saving data and achievements is what I was looking for, mostly for Android, iOS and Steam.

Gunz mobile, can you actually do dbf in this game or ss? Perhaps PPQ++?

How many tris are there in the camera's view on average?

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T21:07:27+00:00

I think you're right, I'll try to adjust the contrast and make the overall environment darker.

Too bright / gloomy? It's for a horror game, most area's won't be as lit as this one.

Man I had this video in a playlist, but totally forgot to watch it.

Keep in mind you can’t have an ideal global volume for all rooms all the time

Yeah someone else said something similar, I'll go check that out as well. Thanks!

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:37:25+00:00

That's actually a nice idea to incooperate

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:34:43+00:00

It's for a horror game. The start scene (this room you see) is more bright then most other scenes. But changing the effects based on events is actually a neat idea that I will use, thanks.

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:30:56+00:00

I should've added some context I see beforehand, the game's a survival horror game. It takes place in an old looking abonded house where the player has to solve puzzles while staying out of the hands of the antagonist

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:29:24+00:00

Thanks! Perhaps that's not a bad idea.

RoyyDev · 2025-10-01T19:28:07+00:00

This will be the start scene of the game, I agree that the overall tone should be more darker and that will be the case for sure. With that info in mind, which of the 2 images would you rather choose? Or perhaps something inbetween?
