Devlog entry #3 - The first drawback


In the first two posts, I've shared with you my expectations about the project. Now, it's time to share the first problem I've faced during the creation of the Untitled Terror Game (project name).

A lot of folks told me there are better tools to create a text adventure than Unity. But I choose it because that project is not just about this game, but it's about learning a game engine and C# as well.

Everyone told me that I should look at Unity Learn for tutorials, and so I did. Because when we talk about game dev, I'm just like John Snow, and I know nothing (yet), so I need very detailed guidance.

The course I've found (https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/recorded-video-session-text-adventure-game-part-1) have a lot of detailed instructions. The only problem is they don't work. So I need to find out why that's happening. Why do the "official channel for learning Unity" has a course that doesn't work?

I've opened DuckDuckGo, searching for an answer and discovered: When you call the "GameEngine.UI", when using the Unity 2019.2, the script won't work. And nobody seems to have the slightest idea on how to solve this problem, other than using a previous version of Unity. Even on the newest version (2019.3), the problem persists for some.

Well, I have to start from scratch, since the actual project doesn't open on older versions of Unity. But it is in this moment where we found the drawback: The Unity Learn has erased the base project from its servers, so I don't have the files a beginner needs to start the course. And now I have to find a way to work around this problem.

Luckily I can count on the help of many people. And I'm already working on a solution to solve this problem.

Thank you for being here with me.

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)

Strange Umbrella

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.
