I've been working on a 3d platformer game (in unity) pt 2: the purge

Now tracking this topic lol

I went back to Unity for a bit again last week and I want to work on it more again this week too. I need to make this a consistent thing. >_>

I'm currently not finding a home between godot, unity, or unreal.

TC, just a suggestion, you can pitch your game to Humble Games and if they like it they will fund you in advance. Obviously there is no guarantee they will accept, but you might want to look into it

Im pretty satisfied with unity, but Im also not using any third party tools or add-ons. Both to not spend any money on it at this stage and also to learn how to do things myself

its also what I picked to learn a couple years ago and now Im just familiar with it

Is this something they still do? I found a link but its dead

For sure. How are you approaching the modeling? Using Blender?

wow, it's looking great! it's come so far!

i remember when you started this thing.

I think so, this link works for me:

I'm doing the Unity tutorial and I'm on one of the parts where we're making our own game, but I think my idea was way too complicated and ambitious lol

I decided to make a 3d platformer kind of thing where you play as a little ball that can jump around in a little downtown city area, and you collect powerups, and the more you collect, the faster you can go, and then you end up flying around. That's the endgoal anyway.

Rn, my ball is way too fast and I can't even get a proper jump working, and whenever I collide with a wall, my camera starts weirdly rotating to the left for some reason.

This is way more complicated than I thought it'd be lol.

I did not but it does look pretty relevant! I'll check it out tomorrow, thanks

Also I just realized I have to apply Rigidbodies to my other inanimate objects and code their physics too, which is why my camera keeps spinning.

For some reason my jump just refuses to work after I tried using some booleans to check whether I was in the air.

Why the fuck isn't this working!?!

RAUUGHHGH

My sphere refuses to move even when I input the correct keys.

It'll work for this though:

You know, I was thinking that but the tutorial was confusing me a little bit. >_>

And it works how it's intended to. Jesus I'm stupid lol

Have you been following any particular blender tutorials? Those sculpts look quite good for just mucking about. Nicely done.

is it separate meshes for the round part, or are all of the objects on one big mesh + UV map? blender to unity can mess up depending on how your UV is scaled within blender, or if the mesh has multiple UVs for some reason.

a good way to quickly check whether everything is okay without having to import into unity is to use a program like "FBX Review" (free program made by AutoDesk Maya)

if its separate meshes, a few things you can try are:
-select the fbx in unity, select the model tab, and at the bottom make sure "swap UVs" is enabled
-if that doesn't work, find the texture file in unity, and see whether the wrap mode is set to "repeat" in the inspector
-on the object/prefab, select the material then mess w/ the tiling and offset settings for the albedo (idr if that's an option on the default Standard or URP lit/unlit, I don't use unity shaders so its been a while since I looked)

those steps may or may not work, it really depends on what happened.
i'd check the model in a separate program like fbx review to see if it looks okay in that. that way you can see whether it's a problem with how blender exported, or if it's a problem with how unity imported. if it looks correct in fbx review, then you can at least narrow it down and know unity is messing up somewhere.

hopefully those tips help. at the very least they could be something to keep in mind for the future

Ooh, I remember your other topic. Youve made a lot of progress. Will you be adding sounds/music to it?
