Unity API

[Archive] What's next?


Beside that annoying “Some objects were not cleaned up when closing the scene” error, I believe the Unity API is in good shape. However it does not mean we can’t make them better. I would like to share my ideas and know what you think about them but also ear your ideas and what really made it painful while using the current API.

How I see the future of the API:

  • JS ready, i.e. no need to move folders and scripts around for JS users.

  • Easier configuration, i.e. no init step via code but a ‘setup’ window in the editor.

  • Unification of the API and the Helper, e.g. there would be no need to call unlock trophy and then show notification, it will be the same call (of course, it will be possible to turn notifications off).

  • Use of actions instead of delegates. It is easier to deal with in JS (JS does not handle C# delegates really well) and you do not need to remember to deregister your delegate.

  • Demo scenes!

  • Sync of cloud and local state of achievements, i.e. retrieving achievements stats (achieved or not achieved) and images.

  • Automatic session ping.

  • Unit Testing! This should be transparent on your side but would help me to verify that I didn’t break anything before pushing a new version live.

I probably forgot a lot of things but I want everybody to start to talk about it so it does not really matter.

So

i may or may not make an full art of some person or i may just leave this like that-

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist

brung back my old oc plus a new one

...they don`t have names yet tho

blender animation experimentation, getting the hang of things fast. arms, rig, & gun models by me ofc

Animation test. Not an actaul conclusion to who wins sonic vs Mario. Just a test animation combo.

It's now possible to destroy some of the obstacles and gain access to new locations or create shortcuts. #gamedev #indiegame #rpg

I remade my main character, what do you think? :)

Added an exit portal to the maze SRP project. It has a simple effect using scrolling UV's and particles.
