2020 Update: Back to Unity and C#

August 25, 2020 by Gabriel Maldonado

Has been a crazy 2020 so far, am I right? Things are more stable now on my end, so is the time to go back to Unity, and C#. My last post was around a year ago , this also is ( more or less) the time when I’ve stopped coding so I can say I’m pretty rusty at the moment. I spent this last year trying new hobbies away from coding/programming, as was feeling a bit burnout at the […]

Roguelike C# in Unity (3/13): Generating a dungeon

July 8, 2019 by Gabriel Maldonado

Welcome to the 3rd part of the tutorial! The original Python tutorial can be found here. Previous posts for C# in Unity: 1- RogueLike C# in Unity (1/13): Drawing the ‘@’ symbol and moving it around 2- RogueLike C# in Unity (2/13): The generic Entity, the render functions, and the map This is starting to get complex, in this tutorial we’ll keep working in our GridGenerator class, but move away entirely from the FloorSetup() and WallSetup() methods set previously to […]

RogueLike C# in Unity (2/13): The generic Entity, the render functions, and the map

June 23, 2019 by Gabriel Maldonado

Part 2 is here. This week we’ll create a generic Entity from where we’ll create all our entities, we’ll skip the original render functions from the original Python version, as won’t be used here, and finally we’ll create a basic map where we’ll be moving around. Don’t forget to check out the previous parts of the tutorial: Part 1: RogueLike C# in Unity (1/13): Drawing the ‘@’ symbol and moving it around The RogueLike camera Before anything, one of the […]

Prototype for the character selection screen

Learning Game Dev #3: Fixing bugs, development mode, UI, Lists vs Arrays, and renaming GameObject instances

June 7, 2019 by Gabriel Maldonado

At the beginning of the week I ended fixing multiple bugs just by changing one little thing, when I check if the menus/UI is enabled/disabled I set the game Time.timeScale to 0 , this was causing a wide variety of issues: The time counter was starting before expected, for example: The time left to complete a level was running through the GameOver screen even if the UI was not updated, so when you started a new game, some time went […]

Learning Game Dev #2: Apple ID, Unity Ads, Ghost scripts, Awake vs Start, level switcher, and scope.

May 29, 2019 by Gabriel Maldonado

Apple publishing process, and getting an app ID This process was a bit convoluted, but overall took around an hour to be completed. In order to share my app with other users for testing via TestFlight, or put it in the Apple store (even if is for free) I need an app ID, and this only comes once your part of Apple Developer Program. As a member of the Apple Developer Program, you’ll get access to App Store Connect , […]

Panda Hell update #10: The wonders and miseries of not having enough time

August 8, 2018 by Gabriel Maldonado

This last week I couldn’t invest much time in Panda Hell (~7h total) however I could move forward a bit in the A* pathfinding implementation , so enemies act smarter. At the moment the script analyzes the terrain that has been generated and sets a layer mask on top which differentiates the terrain in either walkable or non-walkable. You can see here the layer mask and how it differentiates between walkable terrain (grey) and non-walkable terrain (red). While the current […]

Panda Hell update #9: More art and enemy AI using the A* Search algorithm

July 29, 2018 by Gabriel Maldonado

Is Artificial Intelligence week! If I though the complexity of the procedural level generation was quite something, digging deeper into the basic AI development for the enemies has been also quite the endeavor. At the moment all enemies share an EnemyBrain script which follows few simple rules to interact with the user, in a nutshell is based on a “Wander, follow, retreat” behavior where the enemy wanders until the Player is in range, at that point the enemy follows the […]

Panda Hell Update #8: Minimum Lovable Product

July 22, 2018 by Gabriel Maldonado

The problem I see with games versus other types of software is that in games having a Minimum Viable Product does not mean much. While in other type of software you may have a working solution to a problem that’s normally enough to get a prototype rolling, and iterate on customer feedback, with gaming has never been enough, as this will not generate enough traction. With games doesn’t feel like that, feels like what you need is a Minimum Lovable […]
