I have been working solo. I have done enough of my Proof of Concept to see the end of the Tunnel. I actually bought my domain, but no web presence yet.
Dancing mechs are so fun. Will players get to see anything like this? Celebration scene? Dance button?
Mech is still WIP but I thought this gif was funny
Hopefully eventually -- an emote or pre/post-match screen animation maybe :)
Can you show some of the issues you have regarding the DoF?
Back from my post-festival hiatus, and I'm getting back into the swing of things with something that I'm not entirely sure will actually ever be used for regular play (hopefully maybe by speedrunners?), but felt too fun to ignore: rebounding on your own projectiles! (this may or may not have been because of an overdose of Cappy jumping lately - though I swear it was in my notes before playing Odyssey :-D)

Hey! I made a fireball throwing spell today too. I love how yours looks!
Yes! :)

A fellow Paper2D dev! How're you getting on with it? We're making a side-on Metroidvania.
I'd be open to others' feedback on their experiences with these two platforms too please. I've recently created accounts on both, but have no prior experience with either.
I find it really easy and quick when you don't make UE4 work too hard. Right now everything is just unlit, with the camera set to ortho, and forward rendering off.
When I first started this project, however, I was trying to get some sort of fancy dynamic lighting effect to work; it was something to cover up my lack of art skills. So I tried to replicate something like this Sprite Lamp program, http://www.snakehillgames.com/spritelamp/. I though I could get with just some dynamic lighting, creating a pixelated height map, and a banded lighting post process filter. In the end I didn't have the experience with materials to get anything like that working, and there are some bugs in 4.18 that were driving me crazy. So I simplified my art pipe line and just have been working on game play for now with stand in asset.
I did watch the Getting started in Paper2D video you all put out, and your stuff looks great. How has your experience with Paper2D/UE4 been?
I will check if I have a video of it (or make one)
Oh, well thanks for giving it a watch, and for the compliments. I hope it helped you in some way. We plan to do some more Paper2D live stream tutorials in the future too.
Don't know if that makes much sense, but the idea is to do it like the light
Ah, I see. Thx for the explanation!
Alright, fair enough :) Be mysterious!
Thankfully I go full real time lights so far then hehe. Automated unwrapping, in Blender or something? I'm not familiar with graphical terms unfortunately. I only know ms paint but that seems like a terrible texture making tool xD
As a designer, I make my meshes inside Unity, with ProBuilder. It has its own unwrapper you can use, though I haven't tried yet. I'm curious if not bothering with fixing the mapping can have negative impacts on the game. I've noticed that with an actual texture, some of my walls look really bad and skewed, but with just a single color material, it's impossible to tell. Question is, do I need to care? xD I know I will to once our new project gets textures but my older project never will.
public static class ExtensionMethods {
public static void Reset(this AudioSource audi) {
audi.maxDistance = 100;
}
}Hi. Your code contains a typo ("audi"), that could be the culprit. I don't know exactly how to change the maxdistance with code but it is possible of course. You could run something similar to your code in awake or start on each object. If you're talking about changing a component's fundamental default values, that's either very difficult and/or impossible afaik. To me, as a non-programmer and not super advanced skill wise, that sounds like you're doing it wrong tbh. Standard praxis would more likely be to set all variables you want to change in start, or awake if possible/necessary.
[RequireComponent(typeof(AudioSource))]
public class myaudiosauce: MonoBehaviour
{
public AudioClip sfx;
[Range(0.0f, 100.0f)]
public float sfxRange = 100;
AudioSource source;
void Awake()
{
source = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
source.rolloffMode = AudioRolloffMode.Linear;
source.maxDistance = sfxRange;
source.minDistance = sfxRange - (sfxRange * 0.9f);
source.clip = sfx;
}
}Did you want to do it in game? or just the Editor?
Oh, okay, I can work with something like this. Thank you for the suggestion.
Yeah, I'm aware. I just didn't want to have to add another component after I've already added an audiosource (or other standard component) because that's basically the same amount of work as remembering to change the few settings I want to be different from their defaults. With Wily's script or one based on it I only have to add one thing to a gameobject, so that makes me happier :)
It took me something like 6 hours to come up with an idea I liked which is pretty ridiculous. I like to have an idea done 1 hour into a competition.
