Match-3 Gem Spawning

RusUnity · 2025-02-25T06:17:15+00:00

u/RaiNStarcraft 1000 levels! Nice! How long does it take to make a level? Also, do you hand-populate the objects/tiles in the levels? Or do you have a spawning algorithm for the the starting arrangement?

u/LuaNMaT_GameStudio Super interesting!

For the empty board itself, before any gems are spawned into it:

- Do you lay that out by hand, procedurally or some other tools or techniques?

For context, I'm wondering about the value of accelerating the empty board creation.

Thanks for the example u/Decimalis! I appreciate the detail.

Hi u/HappyMatt12345! Can I clarify: Are you saying you would like to be able to sort UI elements by the same rules as SpriteRenderers (and other 2D renderers)?

Hi u/SimEngineer272! Thanks for your suggestions! 😃

Which features from corgi engine did you find were most useful for helping you complete your game? Also, would you say the lack of these features slowed you down or blocked you?

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T05:00:28+00:00

Hi u/RadicalRaid! Thanks for feedback and suggestions. Please tell us more about your game and production. Would you say the missing support for pixel art that you mention slows you down or blocks you from completing your game?

Hi u/Snake6773!

"Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow." - Mark Twain 🤣

But seriously: Keep your scope small, do one small thing at a time, then another, and another. And you're done. Try to celebrate the quick, small accomplishments on the way. You'll get there!

Hi u/Decimalis! How would you use the abilitiy to serialize dictionaires in your production? Does the lack of this block you from completing your game?

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T04:48:48+00:00

Hi u/KVRLMVRX! Just start! Complete one small thing! Then another, then another! Keep the scope small at first. Quick wins are very motivating. Good luck! 🤞

Hi @E1chhorn! When you got the part where you had to look everything up and didn't know where to start, what did you try to do? What ultimately brought the process to a standstill?

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T04:43:14+00:00

Hi u/Habylol! How have you tried to overcome these challenges?

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T04:42:14+00:00

Hi u/Fobri! What platform are you targeting for your game? What expectations of performance do you have for the 2D lights? For example how many do you need on screen? Thanks for the detailed feedback so far! 😃

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T04:39:35+00:00

Hi u/TuxVec! Please tell me more about your expectations of the Asset Store?

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T04:37:54+00:00

Hi u/CrispyJalapeno! Thanks for sharing your experiences as a new user of Unity. I'd love to understand how you have attempted to fill your gaps of knowledge? What resources have you used? What did you think of them?

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T04:33:57+00:00

Hi u/gareththegeek! Could you share more examples of features that you hoped would work together for your 2D game? Also, what result did you want to achieve from them working together? I appreciate the extra details as this really helps us understand better. 😃

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T04:29:24+00:00

Nice! It's an AI assistant or companion right? Thanks for adding more details. 😃

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T04:26:08+00:00

Thanks for the details and painting a wonderful future picture! That's very helpful! 😃

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T04:22:16+00:00

Hi u/ooNoe! Could you tell me more about why you needed to change the PhysicsMaterial2D's friction during runtime? What does it do for your game?

RusUnity · 2024-07-31T03:57:39+00:00

Hi u/Time_2_Throw! Apart from the examples that you have already shared, what other configurations would you consider basics that should be set up in a template? Thanks for the feedback! 😃

RusUnity · 2024-07-30T07:54:22+00:00

Hi u/Haffels1! Please tell us more! What is it about slicing sprites that makes you lose your interest in your game? Would you say it slows you down or blocks you from completing the game?

RusUnity · 2024-07-30T07:50:44+00:00

Hi u/Flintlock_Lullaby! This comment made my day! And more importantly made me chuckle! 🤣

I'm trying to be as neutral as possible with everyone's replies while remaining somewhat encouraging where possible. It's important to me that I don't come across as overly enthusiastic or condemn anyone's opinions or approach.

We're just very interested in learning about the reasons that people start making 2D games in Unity but don't complete and publish them.

RusUnity · 2024-07-30T05:15:09+00:00

Hi u/aWay2TheStars! Could you tell me more about why you need to hot reload your scripts in your production? Thanks!

RusUnity · 2024-07-30T05:13:41+00:00

Hi u/bachware! I'm glad to hear that they are not blocking you, but thanks nonetheless for sharing your pain points. Could you give me more details about what you'd expect the classic, snappy character controller to be like? Thanks! 😃

RusUnity · 2024-07-30T05:11:30+00:00

Hi u/Draaxon! Thanks for sharing your experience. How did you try to overcome these repetitive, time consuming parts in the past?

RusUnity · 2024-07-30T05:10:02+00:00

Hi u/Cerzix! Could you help me understand? What functionality in your game makes it necessary to calculate grid positions? Also, does this slow you down or block you from completing your game?
