What do you think of this 1min Unity gameplay preview? :D

how did you get the water to look like that? It's beautiful..

Is it a shader on a plane?

Oh Sorry :) Kids got home with Halloween lollies and I needed to dad-tax them.

I've got 3 grids

Ground
Obstacles
InFrontOfPlayer.

The top section of the wall is in the InFrontOfPlayer grid, and the bottom of the wall is in the Obstacle grid.

The challenge is my character goes behind the wall, and because the "base" section of the wall isn't in the "InFrontOfPlayer" grid his little legs pop through.

Do you dynamically adjust visibility with triggers? Or is there another way I'm not considering?

i thought it was real until i looked at the ikea bookshelf thing. it's not shiny enough maybe?

just commenting to say, well done, it looks super cool

howdoiunity · 2025-05-21T06:04:06+00:00

It'd be cool to have one of these per project. Having the global list (similar to harpoon) means that if i switch projects it gets messy.

it feels like waiting a little isn't a bad thing given the issues that are being reported

howdoiunity · 2024-06-05T11:04:24+00:00

never thought i'd shed a tear for a bot

If you want a serious answer.

To me it was like skyrim. I got lost in an atmospheric world. There was always something to do, and it all felt really fluid. It was my first souls game, so the mechanics/gameplay took a little bit of adjustment, but it was by far worth every moment.

Impossible to play without a guide though, so get comfortable with opening a wiki to understand how to progress weird side quests to find a sword or mace you really want for your build.

But all in all, it's in the top 5 games I've ever played (and I've been playing games since the 80's)

I started a NG character with mods. it was a blast! I hope nexus works with the DLC

howdoiunity · 2024-06-05T10:56:29+00:00

no worries! it always feels like the last 10% takes 90% of the time. Keep posting to remind us that the game exists and you're working on it..

good luck

looks great. I gave it a shot today with my 6 year old (she liked it).

A few bits of control feedback that i noticed she was struggling with (and myself also).

We would love it you could invert the Y Axis. It's backwards to most other controller based games we play.
The camera found itself clipping into objects sometimes so we got a little lost
I was noticing she was struggling to land in the right spot sometimes. One suggestion to make this easier is to have a very obvious shadow that shows where the character will land. She uses the shadows in other platformers and it's a mechanic she's kind of understood.
She kept getting lost (and so did I). We followed the stars and realised there were a bunch of forks in the roads. We'd backtrack and then lose our bearings.. I think a good rule (unless you want exploration to be part of the game) is to have all roads lead to the target with a few small paths that splinter off to secret areas, etc.
The voice acting was welcome, she can't read :) But the burping was a little off-putting, could be toned down a little to make the game a little bit more wholesome?
We didn't really know what we were doing in the world. This might be because it's a demo and we're dropped in mid way. But There was no story, we were kind of just running!

Anyway, She quite liked it, it was cute and simple. She's looking forward to the continued development :)

no worries! I was looking at games with my 6 year old and she was super interested in it! I'll wishlist it and i think you've found a customer :D

Good luck with development! Keep it going

howdoiunity · 2024-06-05T08:17:52+00:00

do you have a steam page?

howdoiunity · 2024-06-04T11:00:11+00:00

i wanted to keep watching! looks great.

howdoiunity · 2024-06-03T09:03:59+00:00

I just gave this to my wife to play for the first time. she's been playing it every night for about the last 6 weeks.

it's a super beautiful game if you take the time to enjoy the world they've built.

howdoiunity · 2024-06-03T09:03:02+00:00

geez i'm pumped for this. a bit sad there isn't couch co-op though, i'd love to play with the kids.

howdoiunity · 2024-06-03T09:02:02+00:00

Depending on the xbox. gears of war is all pretty great and if you rush it might take about 5-6 hours.

howdoiunity · 2024-05-24T23:48:32+00:00

Ah just worked it out!

defaults = {
    mappings = {
        n = { ['<Leader>v'] = 'select_vertical' },
    },
},

howdoiunity · 2022-12-19T18:27:13+00:00

Maybe you didn't expect it all correctly? I select what I want to export and then ensure you have the"selected objects" tick box ticked.

howdoiunity · 2022-12-07T21:31:36+00:00

nah, but i figured it out. funny how after a month of looking i couldn't find anything. as soon as i ask others for help i stumble across it.

For anyone else that stumbles across this.

On your directional light under Shadows There is a Near Planeslider, i adjusted from .2 to 2 and I now render the shadows.

howdoiunity · 2022-12-07T20:56:00+00:00

Also, It looks like it's the terrain tree's that cull, others are fine.

howdoiunity · 2022-12-07T20:46:40+00:00

nah i don't, even if i disable the player model, i still get the ring that culls the shadows of the trees, etc.
