wait imagine if there was a survival platformer that used a real life day/night cycle and this. For example: Foggy: makes it impossible to see faraway things Rain: Makes it slippery Cloudy and Clear: N/A Snowy: Makes it slightly harder to move Thunder: Rainy but more deadly (Thunder kills you instantly unless more max health is added)

[@ZooperPlayz]

Hey! This is really nice. Maybe add a few details to the character itself like if it’s rainy, he would open an umbrella. It it was sunny, probably sun bathing ;) or if it’s snowy make it so he’s wearing a sweater or a hoodie. That’s it! Nice vid as always!

[@fleeb-f9u]

Escape from Tarkov actually uses this concept. its also a unity game, and it uses the weather in Moscow to decide what the in game weather will be when players join a game. They also use it to change the price of in game bitcoins to give or take match the real world price aswell.

[@damid4557]

how are you a small youtuber??? this is great!

[@ToaderTheToad]

Fun fact: Animal Crossing City Folk was originally going to use a similar system, pulling data from the Forecast Channel, but they decided against it after they realized some players would get very samey weather, whether that be constant sunniness, constant snow, or even constant rain...honestly I'm surprised they didn't just go "Welp they can go visit their friends if they want different weather lol" but honestly I think an option for it would've been cool

[@aneesh1283]

Amazing "this idea can be used many games"

[@mudokin]

Thinking of futureproofing this, you could cut down on the requests by hosting your on server that buffers the requests, this obviously makes most sence if your game or app gets very big though ;). Also if your weather- or ipservice ever closes down you can easily switch to a different service.

[@Cabalex]

Yup, because the Dark Sky API is going to be shut down by the end of 2021 :/

i wish animal crossing used real world weather. kinda sucks when it’s a super nice day out but in my game it’s all dark and dreary, or the other way around- but i do see how in some places that would suck because they would never get rain

[@Kiralmao]

they could do something like have a setting to turn it on and off to combat that

[@QualifiedUmbrella]

Pause on 1:36... Cloudy: snowy. Snow: clear-day. Sunny: cloudy. I figure you just mislabeled but thought it was funny

[@BojanVasilev]

it says "replace this with your API key" how can i replace it?

[@MasterGeorge090]

Just register on the darksky website. After you sign up, it will give you the api key. Copy the api key and then go to Unity and paste the API key on the API key box on Unity.

[@MasterGeorge090]

[@haachamachama7]

I really like the format and pacing of this video, but it's missing something that I've been looking everywhere for... I don't know why, but the API i'm using has a lot of the apis containing a "data" object, which holds a lot of the information... This wasn't so big of a deal with most data objects i made, I made a special class that handled ALL data classes with the help of someone called ApiResponse and it contains a generic object for "Data". Buut for some reason one API has a DATA inside the DATA... It goes like, Odds {Data{ Id, name, Market{data{odds{data" This is incredibly confusing lol, how am i supposed to handle all these datas?! I tried making separate classes, but it doesn't seem to be populating them...
