No longer private... Unity challenger character gives you an idea of the style and feel of my new character.

Nice! Character looks amazing :D

[deirre]

Heres what it looks like on WebGL....less optimization

Looks so much like my game :D

thats the problem with unity, so many people use the same assets , all the game are looking the same :( every time i see a demo they all look like that.

The actual problem is that those people don't put enough effort into their game to correctly use assets. There aren't many assets you can just plug-in and be done. You need to customize them, polish it into your game. 

And it doesn't matter in the end because those games probably won't do well anyways and won't affect the sales of the ones that put a lot of effort into polishing their's.

Isn't that part of the greatness of Unity? It gives people that do not have 10's of thousands of Dollars to pay for custom (1 off) 3d models a chance to build something awesome. Besides the games will not look the same even if you have the same assets, it is all about how you use the assets to create your own world. If you are flat out using entire demos then sure it will be the same, that is not what the assets are for, or intended to be used as. And if it wasn't for the awesome artist that put there work on the asset store for sale, I bet half of the people wouldn't be very far along at making a game, take myself for example, I am a coder not a 3d modeler.

WebGL
After seeing the shooter, its inspired me to push myself a bit more before I start on the scifi portion of this arc. Ok, I removed the chamber and replaced the Challenger 3d model with my actual game character. I will be optimizing/populating the first level and polishing my main character for the next week. After that, I plan on adding features and environment/NPC interactions to the player.

Keep up the good work deirre!

Yeah, your doing amazing :D

[deirre]

Thanks...  Its things like this and work others do that keep me going.

I was going to wait until I polished dev. WebGL sites but a member seemed to question whether or not I was doing the work.  Here's what I'm currently working on.

Sci-Fi Arc (Waiting on shooter, building levels)

Medieval Arc (Early dev)

Modern Arc (Broken, will have up soon)

Someone did a first person script in the Invector forum, I'm exploring whether to use it in this arc as a FPS shooter or FPS/TPS combo.

Hi deirre,
I tested your game, fps too low, character couldn't jump height!

Hey guys, Jorge wrote a few methods to make it easier to find items or equipmentPoints using the item manager

Just add this methods on the vItemManager


       #region Check Item in List
       /// <summary>
       /// Check if Item List contains a  Item
       /// </summary>
       /// <param name="id">Item id</param>
       /// <returns></returns>
       public bool ContainItem(int id)
       {
           return items.Exists(i => i.id == id);
       }

       /// <summary>
       /// Check if the list contains a item with certain amount, or more
       /// </summary>
       /// <param name="id">Item id</param>

       public bool ContainItem(int id,int amount)
       {
           var item = items.Find(i => i.id == id && i.amount >= amount);
           return item != null;
       }

       /// <summary>
       /// Check if the list contains a certain count of items, or more

       /// <returns></returns>
       public bool ContainItems(int id,int count)
       {
           var _items = items.FindAll(i => i.id == id);
           return _items != null && _items.Count>=count;
       }

       #endregion

       #region Get Item in List
       /// <summary>
       /// Get a single Item with same id

       public vItem GetItem(int id)
       {
           return items.Find(i => i.id == id);
       }

       /// <summary>
       /// Get All Items with same id

       public List<vItem> GetItems(int id)
       {
           var _items = items.FindAll(i => i.id == id);
           return _items;
       }

   public bool IsItemEquipped(int id)
{
return equipPoints.Exists(ep =>ep.equipmentReference!=null && ep.equipmentReference.item!=null && ep.equipmentReference.item.id.Equals(id));
}
   
   /// <summary>
   /// Get a specific Item on a specific EquipmentPoint
   /// </summary>

   public bool IsItemEquippedOnSpecificEquipPoint(string equipPointName,int id)
    {
    return equipPoints.Exists(ep =>ep.equiPointName.Equals(equipPointName) && ep.equipmentReference!=null && ep.equipmentReference.item!=null && ep.equipmentReference.item.id.Equals(id));
    }
   
       #endregion

Also, here is a example to detect and remove itens by script

Took today off = back on track

Just created a new YouTube Channel called ES Gaming

Recap, the other levels I was working didn't look or feel right so I am refocused with a action plan.  Please ignore the character, I was focused on the level and its ambience. On the next update, I will have the flaws with the character corrected (crap I have to work with Maya). Next I will have to reduce the overall size in order for browsers to process it. One way is to incorporate the Pooling System and combine, that should provide better optimization and an open world experience with no loading screens. Lastly, begin configuring the controller.
