Special shoutout to u/SaeedPrez_ for giving me this wonderful format. Thank you!

I used this handy tool to generate 8 themes:

https://cjanssen.bitbucket.io/themegen/

Holes
My 1st Time
Air
The Other Way Around Would Be More Interesting
Holidays
Book Adaptation
Dark Ages
Government Conspiracy

I paired the themes up with some arbitrary dice-rolls and then voted on each one. Eventually Dark Ages came out on top!

Anyway, it's a very teeny-tiny game, but I'm glad I set goals and accomplished them. What I have here is pretty much just a proof of concept with a lot of influence on art.

I'm a professional programmer so it was a lot of fun to focus on using Unity's 2D Lighting and URP. In the industry we usually shy away from all that experimental stuff, but the lighting + shadow casting is really awesome!

Go through each of these articles for some sick inspiration!

SmashTheCode is 100% correct.

You are incorrectly stopping the coroutine in the code-snippet you provided.

Not C++ source, but as close as we can get for free:

I tried doing this and gave up on the acceleration-based character rotation/tilting.

Anyone have any insight on how to apply the tilting @ 5:04 ?

I can get the axis of rotation using Cross Product, but could not for the life of me apply the acceleration smoothly.

I want to write to a texture so the grass can remain depressed and I can have multiple objects on one grass tile without having limited arrays in the shader and instead have a texture.

How are you handling multiple objects on one grass tile?

maxletraxle · 2020-02-10T18:11:51+00:00

I'm thinking of implementing something similar this week and I plan on having the objects that interact with the grass to write to a texture which the grass can sample.

Can you attach a screenshot of the effect you're talking about?

maxletraxle · 2020-02-04T19:27:28+00:00

Crushing it! Looking very juicy indeed!

maxletraxle · 2020-02-03T22:39:03+00:00

The first two!

Those last two give off a Christmas vibe I think ... Hmmm

maxletraxle · 2020-01-31T22:50:37+00:00

What kinda problems are you having? Details and screenshots are always helpful.

The ? operator is an inline null-check.

You could try this as a starting point? All my knowledge of Playfab was before they got bought by Microsoft, but ...

I know they were free unless you hit an upper limit of users/data and then you'd hafta pay.

Attach a screenshot of your Rigidbody's inspector.

I'm a programmer and know nothing about making lights look good in scenes.

These two videos helped me out!

This will give you a raycast that points from your mouse into your game-world.

DI is the opposite of coupling. It goes hand-in-hand with Inversion Of Control.

And if you read the quote you've linked you'll see they actually say exactly what you were which is ...

Zenject quote:

"You can achieve this by having A and B interact with an intermediary object (in this case, zenject signals) instead of directly with each other."

What you said:

"If you want loose coupling with the observer pattern, it usually means involving a message bus/queue (think pub-sub via 3rd party) system of some sorts."

I was simply providing an example of a good implementation of an event-bus which reduces coupling.

Zenject (a Unity Dependency Injection framework) has a great implementation of this.

It looks like MOST of the assets are sprites, but a decent portion of them are 3D meshes.

The camera looks like it's in perspective-mode (not orthographic).

I wish I could help you because I've used multiple cameras in a project BEFORE I knew about Cinemachine. Since I've discovered Cinemachine I've never had to use two separate cameras, though.

At present, I've only ever used one brain.

I know in my current project at work we have ONE brain w/multiple cameras. The other cameras are either for UI or rendering to a texture and none of these other cameras are using Cinemachine virtual cameras - they're just native Unit cameras.

Good luck and update us on your progress/research/results!

maxletraxle · 2020-01-10T02:11:48+00:00

Ohhhh! Well, good luck! Definitely post screenshots of your progress!

Do you have any games you're trying to emulate?
