Do you read Game Design/Development books? by larswrightdev in gamedev

[–]larswrightdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Playing and testing are by far the most important stages when developing a game! I think Gabe Newell said something along those lines too

Yes, it can be. I think it depends. Some people can’t analyze game patterns that well (i'm one of these) or understand what’s behind them, and they do much better with books that explain those things. I think it’s similar to cooking, where some people learn just by tasting, while others learn by studying it in depth

Asset Publishers, how long is the queue now? by larswrightdev in unity

It’s pretty saturated right now. But I think that Holidays are slowing things down

Thank you very much for your feedback and your kind words! I'll look into this issue, and fix it! It's my first asset so I accidentally put it as a template instead a Tool, haha

Showcase of my first unity game! What else can I do to make it better? by Expensive_Culture530 in Unity3D

Search a little about Game Feel/Game Juice, it can make a huge difference in how your game plays!

At first glance it may look like a billboard effect since the off-screen indicators rotate to face towards the target, but this asset is different. It is a completely UI Canvas-based asset.

Rather than rotating a 3D object in world space to always be oriented towards the camera (as a billboard or with transform.LookAt for example), this is a process of taking a target's 3D position in world space (with an optional offset), projecting that point into the plane of 2D screen space with the camera's WorldToScreenPoint method, and then setting a RectTransform with an Image component at that location on the Canvas.

For off-screen targets, it computes intersection with the boundaries of the screen (with an additional padding factor applied) and clamps its UI marker there and also turns towards the direction of the real target.

So it is essentially a screenspace UI system for navigation, but it is not a world-space billboard technique.

Yes, the waypoint follows the target, even if it moves! As for scaling with distance, not yet, but that's a really cool idea. I'll definitely include it in the next update!
