This week, I worked on Kojou’s energy system – a fuse box that is hidden somewhere in the castle. Upon finding the fusebox, you’ll find it is in some way broken, but can be fixed by finding and applying various items. After it has been fixed, it can be turned on, which results in various…

This week was very productive in terms of feature expansion, although I only worked on it for the past few days. After quickly finishing network synchronisation of the current items I have, I decided to take a break and read up on some other game designer’s thoughts. It’s not a good idea to never let…

I did have a lobby function before, albeit less elaborate, it was very straightforward to create and took little…

Every player is just a shilouette with a color now – instead of a happy circle. 😐 I’m actually very happy about the results. It instantly made everything more ominous and creepy. Also, the first animation is already more…

I took a break from network to make some adjustments to the lighting. Previously, I assumed that what I was getting was the darkest possible using Unity2D as there were no lights in the scene that I could adjust. But alas, I am new to Unity and (of course) it is possible to decrease the…
