Finally, Another Tutorial!

I got myself back on track and here's another tutorial for you guys. I've got a lot more stuff I've learned and I'm hoping I can teach most of it to you.
Here's an active crosshair tutorial for you guys.

Project DISCO Platformer RE-ENVISIONED

What's going on guys, There's  a new video of the new and improved project disco!
It's a sidescroller now!

Sidenote: We are in need of collaborators with the 3D and 2D art as well as Audio!
Here are some links that will help you out:

TEASER!

Here we go everyone it's project DISCO re-envisioned. I felt it would play better as a side scroller. So here's the story: you play as a robot set to explore alien ruins on distant planets armed with an material transfer beam that can deposit atoms into a platform, but it's power is limited, you can only spawn a few blocks. There will be different block types and I'm thinking of adding some enemies. It's very basic right now, but it will be working very soon! 

 Oh no, I can't place blocks there! It's out of range!

That's close enough though!

Well keep an eye out for future updates and be prepared to get some gameplay!

P.S. We are in need for some 3D artists that can texture and some people who can make some fitting game music! Let me know if you want to join the team!

Disco Update video #1

Just and update for project Disco! Tell me what you guys think!

Future Features!

This has been keeping me up all night, so just to get my thoughts down I'm going to write this out.
What I plan to add in the near future:

• Save System
• Point System, or Story line?
• More Puzzle types
• Rigid body movement?
• switches and what not

The thing that's been keeping me up has been the save system. I have a sort of Idea of how to tackle this, but here it goes. I'm going to use the playerprefs class to save an integer, this integer will be directly linked to the level completed. So by this method I will be saving only one variable, and in between maps. For instance;

Player clicks "Load Game"> Level Completed variable = 2 > load second level. 

or

Player clicks "Load Game">Level Completed variable = 0 or null > Display message "No Game Started"

My problem is that I don't want a million loading screens for every time in between levels, so I need a variable that won't change in between levels and every time a level is completed it will add one to the Level Completed variable which is saved by the playerprefs class, but I'm getting tired so now my brain is wandering to new problems that didn't exist before, and probably won't exist in the morning. So I say to everyone reading. Goodnight, and also, thanks. ;)

Video Demo!

Here's the video demo of our new project! Check it out!

Pre-demo Update

So before I showed a demo video I wanted to add more to the game. So here's just a brief overview of what I added:

• Footstep Sounds (Randomly played from array)
• Jump Sounds(Random)
• Rushing wind effect when falling at high speeds
• Title Menu
• Pause Menu
• Reset Level button
• Better power-up pick up physics
• Last but not least, an objective!

So those are just a few of the things I have added over the past couple of hours, hopefully sometime during the week I can get a little demo uploaded to my youtube, but for now keep an eye out for it on my youtube channel!

Thanks,

Here's the main menu script. Take a look, ask any questions in the comments.

//mainmenu.js by mactinite 
//Simple main menu
var areaHeight : float= 200;
var areaWidth : float= 200;
var layoutCenter : float = 100;
var firstLevel : String = "First";
var buttonSpacing : float = 25;
var customSkin : GUISkin;
var layoutStyle : GUIStyle;
var textureTop : Texture2D;
function OnGUI(){
GUI.skin = customSkin;
GUILayout.BeginArea(Rect(Screen.width/2-areaWidth/2,Screen.height/2-areaHeight/2,areaWidth,areaHeight),layoutStyle);
GUILayout.Space(25);
GUILayout.Label(textureTop);
GUILayout.Space(buttonSpacing);
 if(GUILayout.Button("Start Game")){
 Application.LoadLevel(firstLevel);
 }
GUILayout.Space(buttonSpacing);
 if(GUILayout.Button("Quit")){
 Application.Quit();
 }
GUILayout.EndArea();
}

The title screen  for my new project, it's a zombie from the unity asset store falling into a spot light....

The camera has a wavering animation ping-ponged and looped. It's all in Slow-Motion with Rain falling. In the background some ethereal piano is playing, along with the sound of rain falling....

Let me know what you guys think! Video soon!

Just a Quick Update

For anyone that's reading; I just want to say that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, despite its bugs, is the greatest culmination of video game genres ever put forth to this world. Just a little something I wanted to say before I went into this
I am in the very early development process of my game. I want to combine genres to make something unique. I'm a big fan of the survival horror genre, as well as puzzle solving and platforming. And based on the premise of "keep it simple, stupid" it's not going to be have in controls or mechanics besides natural ones. I also don't want to frustrate the player. I'm not going to confuse difficulty with near impossibility. So if anyone reads this, I would really appreciate your input on what I should do. So please comment and tell me what you think. Have a great night guys.
