It's not flashy atm, but I've been slowly working on a KotoR inspired battle system. Supports adding/removing/setting actions, 3 second round based system, and supports controller / m+k.

Now to get multiple combatants on both sides working

[ #gamedev | #indiegame | #unity3d ]

Kind of fun re-learning stuff, but man adjusting to right hand coordinates is rough lol

But camera controls with MnK + GamePad, bepu physics for the character are working, so some progress is being made!

#StrideEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Now that I'm back home and messing with Stride some more, another thing I'm enjoying is that I don't have to use the editor all the time. I can just build and run the Solution directly to test things out, completely removing that overhead.

Seeing Purple Kiss in Columbus was bitter sweet. I’m glad I got to see them live but saddened it’s over next month.

Autopilot as the encore was a perfect ending though, it’s my favorite song by them.

Totally get it, that’s kind of what my most recent project ended up being too. I think that’s its greatest strength is you can leverage custom controls but still piggy back off systems (I really like the auto blending).

Your cams look great!

Are you using Cinemachine at all or manually scripting it?

Maybe one day they'll join, can dream haha

It does, flax too for what it’s worth, but the actual engine code of both of those are in C++, while Stride is *fully* C# (well outside the shader language)

At the moment it’s more just exploration while we finish up a Unity project to help avoid some burnout lol

The reason I picked it over say Godot , UE, or Flax is that the engine code is C# too, and I love using C# lol

It went by Paradox and Xenko years ago when Silicon Studios owned it too

Sound track for WotES is sooooo good

Another small thing I'm really liking about Stride is built in support for multiple tabs open on Prefabs and Scenes. Downside on the prefabs is you *have* to open it to see the property grid / components, but not minding it so far.

#stride3d #gamedev #indiedev

R/S/E and Golden Sun get the love they deserve, but I remember sinking the most hours into Monster Rancher Advance 2.

Impressed with Stride's composition take on shaders. Super cool that I don't need to convert my gray boxing shader from Unity, I can just apply basic functions to the standard material and get what I want.

An oil painting of the Pokemon SLOWBRO

Unrelated to game stuff but my commission for a painting of Slowbro came in today. I absolutely love this guy 😭

Artist is izcentric.art on IG!

FWIW this *should* be mostly engine agnostic in theory. I wanted to give Stride3D a shot, so plan is to port this to learn it.

Very much agree! I think it also helps make for a tighter design experience, and genres like JRPGs can have more non-combat without having to go full (or janky) platformer.

You can get it here as a Unity package if you want it:

Still have some more things planned for it, and we're using it in at least one in dev project so will be tweaked and fleshed out more.

Spent a bit of time on reworking the char controller. Made it more in-line with older Zelda (OoT, MM, TP), and am much happier with it.

Auto crouching, rolling and crashes, slopes, auto jumping, moving platforms, ladder / vine climbing, tied to physics.

#madewithunity #gamedev

More art experiments this weekend, tweaked the URP shader to support N64 filtering

It's hitting the nostalgia hard and texture work seems a little more forgiving so might make the swap lol

#madewithunity #indiedev

Made a few more small props and then combined them with a line renderer (rope). Not sure what/if I'll even end up using this in the game, but it was fun to learn at least and.

#madewithunity #lowpoly #indiedev

Spent today getting a workflow together and practiced modeling some props for the project. Still no clue what I'm doing, but it's been fun learning about stuff like texel density lol

#lowpoly #psx (ish)

First minor update, added support for underwater breathing / stamina system. Can toggle on/off, set custom tick duration, use a status value for stamina, pick whether this applies to diving only, or all swimming, and lastly a schematic slot for drowning state (fires every tick)

Finally got it in a state I'm mostly happy with as a package, here's my take on an MMO styled camera and character controller, with #ORKFramework in mind.

Heavily based on the controls of WoW, and not tied to any battle system.

#madewithunity

Rough first pass at a WoW inspired character controller for the project. Maybe it's a like a decade of play time, but their controller just feels so nice to me.

Has l/r mouse click camera 8 directional movement, swimming, double jump.

Next is some camera smoothing I think.

#madewithunity

Think I'm finding an aesthetic I like for this project. Unlit shader using vertex colors for 4 texture blending (RGB) with alpha used for painting shadows.

Also included Unity's Surface Bumpmap Package (URP) to get Hex Tiling to break texture repetition.

#madewithunity #lowpoly

Just realized I attached it as an image rather than a gif, oops. This is what it was supposed to look like :p

Gif of normal NavMesh, followed by generated Mesh on islands, and finally generated mesh hidden after a NavMesh rebake with NavMesh islands now gone.

Wanted to share a tool to get rid of NavMesh islands. Removes unexpected Destinations/Sampled Positions (and reduces size). Updated to support Unity 6 (should work lower fwiw)

s/o VisualWorks for original asset and permission to share!

#madewithunity #gamedev

More adjustments to WA5 system. Have floating text, updating HUD based on action + targets, and bullets rather than stamina/mp as a cost.

Actions with a bullet cost show a blinking preview in the player HUDs.

Slowly getting to the fun part

#madewithunity #screenshotsaturday

More WA5 prototype tweaks for the UI. Have Cell / Combatant examination up and running along with player info, so next is actually being able to attack and maybe doing the bullet system. Still undecided on that one but have a few ideas.

#madewithunity #screenshotsaturday

Warriors has such an insanely good soundtrack, love that game

Made a minor tweak to the battle start to pick random cells rather than just whatever is closest and free. Should give a little more variety to each battle rather than everyone going to their own. Think I need to speed them up a bit though.
