Have you seen those Misleading Mobile Game Ads?
They're quite popular, usually showcase some sort of Pin Puzzle game with Liquids and Gas.
However the reality is if you click on them you end up in a mobile game that has nothing to do with the what is shown in the ads, usually it's a Match-3 game.
Anyways the idea shown in the ads did seem interesting so I thought why don't I try to turn that into reality.
And with that the Misleading Ads Game was made!

[@seraphina985]

Seeing that you are distributing this on steam does make me wonder whether you have considered adding workshop integration. Though a proof of concept the engine is there would be great if it could load levels as assets from the steam workshop. There is a lot of variety that could be accomplished with just the handful of default particle types, though could go even further if the ability to load custom particle scripts was available so that new and interesting interactions could be introduced. Seems like there is so much scope in the basic mechanics there. Also seems like this aligns well with your goal of introducing people to unity game development as it provides opportunities for smaller starter projects that make for a gentler learning curve to produce fun results and still get the satisfaction and feedback from sharing their creations. Lots of indie game developers do start out making things like mods for existing games as they are a great way to learn the needed skills with smaller-scale projects that are less overwhelming in scope which can be less daunting and feel more achievable for beginners.

You're told that every developer gets stuck and makes mistakes but its easy to get lost in your head and start thinking that you have more problems than everyone else.

[@cortster12]

"Illegal due to being misleading." They should be illegal because they LIE, not misleading.

[@shinoataya]

But its sorta the same thing?? Misleading is quite literally leading the watcher to think that something shown is true (ex. Scam ads) when in reality it isnt... and lying is leading someone to think something false is true.

[@deffdefying4803]

Literally the same thing.

[@johnnye87]

"Lying" is just being deliberately misleading. If you make a rule that says "don't lie", people can defend themselves by saying "you need to prove it was a deliberate lie, otherwise I did nothing wrong". If you make a rule that says "don't be misleading", they can't pull that nonsense -- it doesn't matter if you did it on purpose or not; stop doing it.

[@AgentDRJ]

@person person A loophole is that some of them actually have pull the pin things as minigames now.

[@korytoombs886]

They are not lies. They are mini games that take a while to get to within the real game.

[@Solrex_the_Sun_King]

You would be legendary if you made a level editor for this.

[@theincrdghostman252]

Nice! That's exactly what I was waiting for

[@DarkNaifu]

I have this exact thought every time I watch a mobile ad. Its the zombie survival/city builders that I really want to make.

ah gordon cicero good to see you

[@donston5624]

ive not finished the vid yet but to make the conversion to stone more consistent couldnt you remove the collision between the water and the lava then make it so if a water particle is occupying the same space as a lava particle you could then convert both into one stone?

[@DiogeneDeSin0pe]

From what I read, the original ones were in some kind of idle heroes game, but only on rare occasion, when completing something, not the actual gameplay.

[@qusaiagha5852]

[@ToyKeeper]

Very interesting. I hadn't seen those ads at all, but the process was really interesting. I made a similar interactive particle system like 25 years ago for DOS... and it was really easy. So I'm surprised the task took so much effort in Unity. I guess I need to update my skills and learn a modern platform!

[@mattbranham1105]

I enjoy when pros show their work and mistakes. We all make them, and I always pay attention when a master anything makes a mistake. Masters adapt and overcome adversity they encounter far differently than amateurs or journeyman. Maybe I'm different than everyone else, I learn from others mistakes as well as my own.

[@Kreed1910]

Imagine thinking you can learn and utilize everything within the length of a video. Those people never touched a 0 or 1 of code.

[@SheepUndefined]

In my experience, they have programmed some, don't understand it, but aren't patient enough to understand that there's more than a few days of learning involved in what they wanna do.

[@Neronix17]

I can't remember ever actually seeing an ad that matches in-game for mobile.

[@shauryamittal5657]

Same!!

[@minecrafting_il]

I have actually found a lot of ads that match the game itself

[@pixeltochi4961]

The problem is that the actually very very good mobile games don't have ads and are deep in the "indie" section of google play.

[@malango255]

My god. I never even knew they weren't even games. Never clicked on one but got the ads a ton .

[@rayredondo8160]

I'm realizing after seeing some gameplay this kinda reminds me of "Where's My Water?" Anyways, great videos; you have earned a new subscriber!

[@olivierarguimbau6537]

Well done. By the way i never clicked on these ads. I thought it was real games..

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

It is a very strange strategy, get people interested in one type of game then show them another, very strange

[@axl2858]

​@@CodeMonkeyUnity if only 20-30 percent of those who installed the game by these ads and liked the real game mechanics and didn't uninstall the game it's gonna have a good profit for these games companies since usually it's gonna cost them more to acquire users by showing them the actual game mechanics (just my personal opinion)

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

​@@axl2858 Yeah the entire mobile industry has tons of numbers to keep track of with regards to cost of users and lifetime value, it's a completely different world from what I'm used to on Steam

[@a42games]

It is now, we made such game last year.

[@a42games]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity If you think about it - it's pretty clever. They (big companies like Playrix with their Homescapes/Gardenscapes) already eaten up all the audience they can reach with normal ads, so they experience very big challenge as the traffic becomes very expensive for them (cost per click for casual games). So now with these fake ads they can have tiny CPC and attract new users who didn't think they ever install homescapes/gardenscapes. And their games are catchy so as soon as a careless player installs them thinking of pin-puzzles - she gets lured into the core match3 gameplay and got hooked forever :)

[@junkiedev5728]

I agree 3:40. I code since 15 years and since 7 years with unity. I have also a channel I talk in german about technical things (or post in discords tips, screenshots etc). It's not a tutorial. Just to show how things can be solved, difficulties or as insperation to give people outside an idea. All done because I also love to watch other projects and learn from them. Like here.

[@patrick247two]

Thank you. Glad I never clicked on those misleading ads.

[@neostar1032]

i have been thinking about learning c# for a while now because i have been wanting to make some mods on a game called subnautica. im so happy i came across this.

[@sundarakrishnann8242]

I have never seen such an ad, concept seems really very interesting to create some great fun to play levels! This concept actually has a lot of potential! And you remade it very well!

[@tiacool7978]

Download any free app on mobile, use it long enough to see these particular ads. These type of ads are frequently shown, and it's so frustrating. Because they are nothing like the actual game they're advertising. Which is a shame, I like the puzzles they show in the ad.

[@a42games]

@@tiacool7978 Our game has exactly this gameplay. And it's challenging!

[@a42games]

If you're interested in such game - we made one for you ;) A while ago. If it'd be allowed here we'd post a link but alas..

[@BrokenPuzzle03]

I used to think you also went too fast on your videos, but after a long time of watching I am thankful for your time and effort put into your videos.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Yup it's all part of the natural learning process, in the beginning everything seems complex no matter the speed, but then as you become more experienced things start to make a lot more sense and much easier. Personally I watch most tutorials at 2x speed unless it's something extremely complex like the inner working or Machine Learning.

[@montymontanero3296]

In another game that uses this mechanics, the lava-water problem solves programming lava and water to become stone when they touch the other element OR a previously created stone

[@AstroRamiEmad]

8:30 actually rock floats on Lava. So the first version was physically correct and didn't need fixing.

[@evannibbe9375]

It would have made sense for him to make the same edit, but in the other direction with the rock falling down through the water.

[@fieds-]

I swear i just got a misleading ad watching this video

[@ScooterBond1970]

me too lol

[@yisus4681]

I always see these ads, and the zombie puzzle ads.

[@joelcathey]

“Pull Him Out” has this as one of its main game mechanics.

[@MrLucasw89]

When there is some behavior that two independent objects need to do, what is the cleanest way to solve that problem? For instance, both your stone and lava particle had collision methods with eachother right? In that case, which of the functions swaps their position so that stones got placed further down the bottom?

[@ZygerGFX]

great video! I love the interactions between the liquids its great ! and awesome to see those ads an actual reality

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Yeah those interactions between particles are pretty interesting and easy to do, makes me want to experiment with this system some more.

[@Xeexist]

Great intro. The way you deliver your tutorials make any concept looks so simple. But lots of hard work is done behind the scenes. And knowing that you have 20 years of experience gives me a sense of relief. Reminds me that I have a long way to go and i'm never too slow!

[@CarlonchoArt]

nice man! can you make the "single mothers in your area" ads real now?

[@faintspectator896]

Water should actually evaporate when touching lava, so only lava turned into stone

[@vic_710]

Finally someone did it, I came from recommended

[@Niko_3D]

Video where you do mistakes is most welcome tho. It's actually fun to watch when you do actual problem solving in real time. And it really helps others who are just getting into programming to see what kind of resources you use to solve particular problem.

[@M1ckeyD]

Make the water turn to steam instead of stone! The water boils away and the lava turns to stone. That would look pretty neat

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

Yes, I do know and hate these misleading ads. Because you asked. 😉 Great work! Thank you for an interesting 18 minutes. The particle mechanics are really well done.
