The Path of the Game Dev — Day 24

Saving progress… — — Punched through this course today! I fixed the dancing guards problem from yesterday by changing the settings for auto-braking and stopping distance. It seems like it’s not an uncommon problem when working with NavMeshAgents — in fact, it may be required so multiple objects don’t obstruct…

The Path of the Game Dev — Day 23

Saving progress… — — Oh man is this all getting more and more exciting! The next section focused on building the enemy AI for the guards of the stealth game level. Similar to the player, the guards also use the NavMesh to move around the environment. The key difference here…

The Path of the Game Dev — Day 22

Saving progress… — — Keeping on with the cinematography and stealth game, I finished up the intro cutscene and started getting into the scripting portion of the course. Now it’s all starting to look a lot more like a game! To wrap up the intro cutscene, I had to finish…

The Path of the Game Dev — Day 21

Saving progress… — — Big day today! Started off the day continuing to punch through the Cinematography course. To be honest, it’s really really cool to see how cutscenes are made in Unity. It took a while to work with Cinemachine and get my bearings within the 3D space but…

The Path of the Game Dev — Day 20

Saving progress… — — Since I was little, my mom always joked that I’d grow up to be a director because of how bossy I was. Well guess who gets to make the shots now? In truth, I didn’t think much about using Unity for things other than games. Sure…

The Path of the Game Dev — Day 19

Saving progress… — — So, uh. I forgot to save some of the changes I made to my spawning script so I had to work back through it. Spent over an hour correcting the spawn manager from doing everything from yesterday (like infinitely spawning it from game start) and from…

The Path of the Game Dev — Day 18

Saving progress… — — Just another day slogging through this boss, but I think I’ve gotten through the worst. I worked primarily on getting the boss to actually cycle through its attacks. Yet another thing I thought to be simple but actually computer breaking if you get it wrong. I…

The Path of the Game Dev — Day 17

Saving progress… — — Anyone else see a giant health bar on a boss in a game and think to themselves: “Man, I’m gonna need more potions”? That’s kind of how I felt working through this boss today. Because I had the UI for the thruster charge I thought it…

The Path of the Game Dev — Day 16

Saving progress… — — Friday marks the start of the end with the big boy: the final boss of the 2D Space Shooter. I’m using a sprite from the Asset store that I found earlier this week for the boss that spawns on the 10th wave of enemies. …
