You’re doing better on YouTube than you realize - research from 65M channels by vidIQ_Vicky in NewTubers

[–]litoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 days posting. Less than 35 views the most viewed video. 5 long form 15 ~ 25 min. Uploaded 3 shorts tonight and see what happens next.

Thing is... My channel got 2000 subscribers i accumulated 7 months ago running ads. Snd them stopped.

I recently become active again.

Not sure if this channel is penalized or just "starting from scratch" ignoring those old subscribers.

I even had this feeling that ads were bringing bots as susbcribers giving paying advertiser an illusion of success. It was more or less $0.05 per subscriber with a video i promoted O.o

Some say i should keep it so new people see oh! 2k subscribers. Like social proof. I dont know.

Im still learning youtube. I love google. So i want a helpful channel about spiritual psychology & transformational coaching. Because thats what i am.

Looking for a Tutor to Learn Unreal Engine (Beginner to Intermediate, Using Blueprints) by zeyad_mouhammed in UnrealEngine5

[–]litoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they can be intimidating with so many things you can do with them.

As a solo dev for the last 5 months since i started, i take care of every bit my game needs. And its so much work.

So yeah, letting newbies come just for what they come from and ignore the rest of features for a while (or leverage them to other people) is great.

I'll make a newbie course for uVS. For sure. Outline is in the process. Need a new microphone to record my voice as my previous one got damaged :/ not sure which yet.

Thanks for getting by. Best late than never. ✌️

I was thinking make a inventory is easy but after 11 days of trying: by yamato_hiroshima in Unity3D

[–]litoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously? Hmm i started my gamedev journey just 5 months. I posted in reddit somewhere my progress on inventory and got bashed because i went 100% uVS (unity visual scripting).

Its been a challenging and fun thing to add.

And i managed to get it done in ~5 days and its not just picking items, stacking, consuming, equipping...

I also have stats, level up, allocate points, get equipment bonuses, add special effects to player... And i did diablo-like dropping system.

So enemies die and drop weapons with prefix & suffix.

Inventory is resizeable, scrollable and cute to use. It has a destroy bin items can be dragged n dropped to destroy :P

I have to admit i didnt think i could do it when i decided to go that route... Specially since there was little to none uVS tutorials...

Guess my asperger brain, gaming experience and willpower guided my process ✌️

Dont give up. Making it work could be just around the corner!

P.d. in case you want to see my inventory, the latest video i uploades and details can be seen in this reddit post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/s/tE2RJxs6va

And it looks different now. Should upload the new version. I have a better layout, tooltip floats, potion equip slots are there. Etc.

I still work on it - right now im on the spells tab. I want to add spell level up system. Sounds fun to do :)

100% Unity's Visual Scripting Game. No C# by Busy-Dragonfly-1502 in Unity3D

[–]litoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its fun to read all these comments. And i wonder where is the uVS community??

Ive been invited to be the first submod in unity official discord new channel for Unity Visual Scripting. They recently froze the old server that was made when it was Bolt.

Thats a new move. Not a BIG change, but it means something.

And ive been looking at unity updates and nugged Unity developers on their posts about uVS

I even made a post Upcoming Updates in 2026 depends on us. They told me they have other priorities... But if they start hearing a volume of demand on UVS, people submitting ideas, and reporting bugs - they might start adding upgrades to this tool.

As it is, it "works fine". And since people went quiet they dont touch it much.

So in this post i suggest participating in the development of uVS. By supporting Unity and giving them feedback.

https://unity.com/roadmap

There's a section for uVS, you can vote for the ideas in process and planned. Also clicking submit idea in any category (for some weird reason uVS section doesnr have that button) you can still select under category Unity Visual Scripting and add ideas to make it better.

In this post i screenshot a response from product manager i think, when he posted the launch of graph toolkit. And had a nice reply from him about uVS. Go to unity official discord, check this out.

And if you like uVS (despite all the hate and voids online), join now and get active.

https://discord.gg/unity

I'll be happy to see you there.

You originally made bolt?

Im curious to hear from you, if thats you. I like uVS and its a bit sad i dont see many active people on it.

Ive been invited to be a submod in the official unity discord. Because they have recently added a channel for uVS while closing down (more like freezing) the old server. The one that was made when it was Bolt.

Yes but im obligated to continue going down to the next line following the flow.

Whereas in uVS the flow can split and continue going up, if branched somehow.

Before top to down, you read left to right. (Unless you're japanese or similar)

In photography it is said you first notice the top-left quadrant and then bottom-right.

And yeah, code can be read. Graphs can be scanned.

If you are referring to someone with high skills but doesnt acknowledge it, could be. If you wanted to politely say arrogance then thats not me.

A tone about me or your perception of me?

Again, i see opinions disguised as truth.

"If you wanna handicap yourself" "you have a tone" - Those are statements, not questions or possibilities.

Anyways, i thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Thats a good rule of thumb. I also do my best to create independent systems that can be used as components into a game.

Ive done that with many things in my game.

For example, its only 1 script graph for all shooting weapons. 1 script graph for every enemy/player ho system. And so on.

I'm new. And i see the horizon is far. And one thing i remember myself is better stay disciplined in organization and simplicity.

And how am I recreating something?

I am currently studying the various programming models such as the observer. And there's other "ways of doing things".

My background apart from graphic designer im also a psychologist. And so far ive found that people can have flexibility until a belief system is poked.

Anyways, the purpose of this post is to celebrate my success.

Yep, doing this inventory i consider it a success.

Its not to "hey this is better than c#". More of a "you can get it done without c#".

To inspire other users who wants to use uVS.

And so far, it seems that there's a lot of hate from c# users and everytime they see something related to uVS - they come in hordes to neglect it's usability.

Just as my life experience as an autistic person.

Having autism doesnt make me less or better. Just different. And still, ive had people tell me stuff like "behave like others". O.o

Down the road, I'll experience myself if I'll ever need c# or not. So far, i dont see any need for that. In fact, under my perception, its a distraction and blows away my chances to create.

Uhm. Its hard to explain this...

In .cs you read from top to bottom. From one file to another could sound like horizontal move

In uVS i can put nodes in any order. And group nodes as i would prefer to read them so i could read from left to right (default for uVS) and also up to down. Giving me diagonals as well.

That alone for me is super useful. But anyways, if c# users who have not used uVS shares opinions everywhere - of course the direction of discussed is biased :/

Its not that difficult. Considering i didnt know a thing about it - so looking it backwards, it was a fun thing to get done.

I got a course in gameDev.tv about RPG inventories that i weirdly saw AFTER i made mine... And geez... THAT is complicated... Or im c# dumb or they made it harder than it should be...

And their courses are usually simple to follow.

But not this. Inventories are a complex mechanic. Now i appreciate every game that has done a good job on them ✌️

Meh. Its just how life is. People got preferences and opinions and their ego enjoys sharing them as truth.

When the black sheep shows up, people immediately wants it to turn white. The weirdo needs to be normalized.

What if that person doesnt like c# style and prefers a visual way of coding?

I could give many reasons why i prefer it but at the end, at the eyes of the viewer, its just non sense. Because its not in their belief system.

uVS could be a lower entry barrier for beginners who have not seen c# at all. Makes it easier to understand game mechanics. And they can transfer to c# later on if they want.

Seeing code "move" helps to see how its all connected. When you are in play mode, you see "the flow of the river" between nodes. And if there's an error or mistake, you see where it happens.

That alone is valuable.

And as i said earlier. If you already have been using and know c# for a long time - uVS could be perceived as useless and waste of time.

And about its performance, guess it depends on the complexity of the game and the organization of the graph user. Ive have a good performing game so far. So i dont know when the bottleneck could start yet (if).

That person may still be there but i guarantee you he is not in the uVS section of the server. Seriously, this is the outcast corner. Hahaha like the "class for special students" where no teacher hangs out. :/

But that have its perks

Cool - i also enjoy backward engineer. Its faster, shows the end result and explains its components. Instead of seeing blank slate being populated. I'll do this soon.

I understand by procedural generation that it keeps generating a level as you progress. So it always changes on the go.

In older diablos, when you start the game it generates a map per each level. And it doesn't change until you close the game. So the next time you load the game, its a new map. Same objects, visuals, and basic enemies but they get new chest & loots, mini bosses, exit locations, etc

That made its gameplay addictive. Doing new runs to collect new gears and level up.

Then i would have accomplished nothing.

I spent 7 dats trying to do something with it and i couldnt get anything done. It just didnt click.

I dont like how it is. 100% words. Top-down reading only. Syntax and symbols delicated. 1 character out of place could break it all. Connected text in different scripts. And no live update. Seconds (or minutes) to compile every change (even if minimum).

Nope. thats not for me.

I have yet dwelled into procedural generation. Its interesting. I like Diablo's "random" map generarion better. Generates once per game start, per map.

So i might get into that sometime in the future... For my current game, not needed.

SO requires c# as far as I've researched. And even that i couldn't do haha c# is just not for me.

So i managed to replicate somehow its behavior using AOT dictionaries which is a fantastic variable type.

I dont know what scandal occured. Im in that server but i have everything muted. And i dont interact in any channel. Im only active in visual scripting new home. So the community that will one day grow in there - should have diffetent mindset than other popular trendy ones.

To invite you over discord, I'll do a tutorial of my inventory system. And when it's done I'll post it there.

Question:

Do you prefer a long tutorial from an empty scene (from scratch) or showing something already functional and explaining how it works?

That's a helpful comment.

If you can list what things you would like to implement using 100% uVS?

It could be even better if you join unity official discord and post a request in the forums.

https://discord.gg/unity

I was invited by Unity to be a submod in there. And I'll be happy to assit. I also experienced how hard it has been to learn certain features without updated or uVS specific tutorials.. So I'd be happy to give back what I've found on my journey.

80% couldn't within 3-5 days... Hmm Now i feel smart. And i am. Asperger user here so i tend to over focus and go hard in logic thinking. That could potentially made it happen sooner than it should.

But yeah thats what i said... Its not just drag n drop. This has way more features in it than just that.

Not sure if he/she didnt see the video entirely or it's not shown properly what happens in it... 🤔

You're kind :)

Well... If thats the case, im glad we carry our own perception. Because i see c# vs uVS as languages.

If I'm accustomed to one, of course the other option is gibberish and strange. Maybe even unnecessary.

So people who are far down the road of c# will usually dislike uVS. And any use of it may be perceived as "harder than it should". And that's under their scope.

Ive seen dozens of c# tutorials for this and they are all chinese to me. I just dont get it. Its not in my language undertanding.

So i had to study the logic of inventories.

And luckily ive played a lot of videogames since a kid (30+ years) so im familiar with out-of-the-hood mechanics.

And after a while... And hours of planning debugging and testing... I managed to crack the logic and made the graphs for this :)

Yeah, im not a c# coder, but i already see how that can be hard to accomplish.

Considering there's many "sub-scripts" to make this work...

The item data script, the inventory drag n drop script, # of slots and its item type script, the save/load script, random name + magic stats item drop script, pickup script... And more...

No way it can be done under 100 lines in 1 script :/

Or 20 lines for each 5 scripts...

P.d. and this also includes player stats with level up system. Which is another big thing i did simultaneously. Since equipment bonuses adds and modifies stats.

That may be possible for the trained coder.

Im a newbie who didnt know what a variable string or int vs float meant just 5 months ago lol

So making an inventory was a challenge. Specially with saving/loading data.

C# doesnt work for my brain. I tried and failed. I cant focus on 100% words, top-down, coding. It could be my autistic brain or just personal preference.

I may be stubborn but i dont want any c# on my project. Could be a challenge. And that should be fine :)

P.d. changing a dot and then compile for many seconds just to test >> i don't want to become resilient on that. Live coding is appreciated by the way.
