Game

Through Oneself

Last week, we made a live stream about how to create the graphics for Hidden in Plain Sight. For those who missed it, the video is available as a Twitch.tv Highlight right now!

For those with extensive Unity knowledge might actually be surprised at how little programming is involved in the video. In truth, the effect was achieved using a simple combination of multiple cameras, layers, render textures, and UI Masks. We only had to create one new shader: a slightly modified default Sprite shader with only one line changed.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
