@LuisMasuelli I have not been able to find good shader tutorials, but if you want a node editor ShaderLab for Unity is supposed to be pretty good

I've always used the Quaternion.Euler approach without issues

Haven't heard of it

But localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(a, b, c) also works

Transform.localEulerAngles apparently

You can do something like rotation.eulerAngles with the word local in there somewhere

This writeup of EVE's current "Northern War" is incredible: rockpapershotgun.com/2016/04/21/…

LD game finally released! lokkij.itch.io/bonsai-tower

Secretly we also rotate the world around the player but the player isn't supposed to notice :P

Ohh okay

Kinda looks like it might be similar though

I'm not sure, I haven't played Fez :)

Basically, a puzzle-platformer

You collect bonsai on this huge tower and you rotate parts of the tower to open up new routes and get to all of the bonsai.

(well, hopefully :P)

Thanks! I'll link the actual game here within 30 minutes.

(the red cube is the player)

^ Screenshot from our LD submission

I will!

@Pip Pretty well! We're preparing our submission now (builds, screenshots, etc.)

So our goal is to finish it today

Yeah, but tomorrow both of us have school and other real-life things

It's totally playable right now

Oh yeah I meant complete

Almost done with our Ludum Dare game! It just needs a victory screen and some more testing and then it's totally playable.

So we have a pretty decent Ludum Dare concept where you're on the outside of a tower and you can rotate parts of it to get to your goal, but it turns out it's really hard to design good levels for it >.<

Thanks!

(note: I haven't actually played Fez)

Currently going for a Fez-inspired platformer on a large tower where some levels of the towers rotate ("shapeshift" :P)

I'm trying it for the first time with a friend

Anyone doing Ludum Dare?

:P

Oops, fixed typo

The current approach allows the user to accidentally pass in an invalid identifier (like 'me' or a typo'd 'you') and allows bugs like this one to creep in

Still not completely safe in theory, but good enough in practice

Yeah that approach sounds good

Still, do we actually need custom specifiers?

Hmm. I don't think it's possible to associate values with enums in Groovy? Then it could be You | Opponent | Custom(String).

Is there a reason player indicators (like 'you' 'opponent') are strings instead of enums?

Ah yes, it's far less intimidating than I remember.

Right, I'll see if I can find an easy Groovy issue. I need to immerse myself in that massive system again.

So if I wanted to start working on something again, what would be the most helpful and/or easy? (keep in mind I'm completely rubbish at webdev, so I'd prefer something gameplay/mechanics-related)

I hope the new framework (react?) will work out better!

Aw, that's too bad, with all the work you put into it. :(

Ah, you're rewriting the HTML client? Angular not working out?

So what's going on here? Any huge changes/improvements? What are we working on?

Pretty good! I must admit I completely forgot about this project until I got an email about #402 a few hours ago.

How's everyone doing?
