Such a great overview that helped me see that making a 2D game is more attainable than I thought.

[@tomsupis8724]

This my Sir is gold! Thank you, Thomas! Not only this can be a template for some games, but there is so much good stuff to be learned and so many mysteries already solved. This doesn't save 4 weeks of making a new game, but also 4 months of learning to make a game. If not more. Once again Thanks mate.

[@Am3ricium]

Personally I would not call this kit a "blank canvas" because its obviously not blank, especially for newer developers the amount of stuff already in there is very impressive. I'd rather call it a framework ready for customization. Other than that, very nice and helpful.

Hi Thomas, congratulations man. Thank you very much for this contribution. I'm starting to study Unity3D and I'm going to dive into all the features of this template. It was really worth it, you make a difference!

[@In-N-Out333]

If you want to get really technical, his NewPlayer class isn't really a singleton, because it doesn't restrict itself to a single instance. Rather, it just provides a public static reference of itself for other classes to access. In order for it to be a true singleton, the getter would have to check if an instance of the class already exists, and if so, delete the current instance.

[@snapClipzs]

Could you please make a in depth tutorial on how the dialog system works? I need something like this and found the code a little confusing. Is there a tutorial you could point towards?

[@V.Z.69]

What you refer to as "Properties" is also known as CONST or Constants. The Constants, in proper software technique, is to use all caps when using a value that won't change. Such as: MAX_SPEED = 7; By the way, what really, I mean really, got my steamed is that NONE of the tutorials to demonstrate that Unity can actually use an SVG (Vector Graphic), but every time it would render blank and I'd have to use a PNG or JPG. And the memory doesn't seem to take care of it's own trash, which makes me think that I have to revert to old memory-management like in C writing.

Mr. Brush, Can you use alternatives for photoshop to get a workable layer-based luxury PSB-equivalent within Say, gimp or other open source art software? Does it NEED to be photoshop that has layer-individuality when animation?

[@Yagvor]

I'm also wondering that

[@stephenadonis3953]

If my reply is not too late, I haven't tried but if gimp can save a psb file then it will work. If gimp doesn't save photoshop big file, then you should go ahead and save the file as a png

[@LambVisionStudios]

You can make them in any software as long as the layers are replaced with the new sprites but you may have to add in each layer individually

I prefer unity over unreal BUT recently ive decided to shelf unity and c# and start learning python and pygame. why? because im a raw beginner and python is easier to learn with more transferable skills in the industry which im trying to beak into, BUT if ur already good at programming (any language i suppose) unity and c# is so gucci and i do love them alot. so it does depend on your personal preference and goals in the long run and plus im just typing this to help the algorithm because this man deserves more subs and views to be frank. stay cool Thomas.

[@leosalazar9213]

How clean does his code looks

[@Jeea84]

This is seriously awesomely magnificent 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you. But I have a question, I'll appreciate if you can confirm this. Ummm, so your script is solely for your own psb file?? I mean I have assets, I can not replace your Player object with mine? Not even the environment?? I MUST go in your psb files to edit them to be able to use your script?

[@V.Z.69]

Mind blown PSB file. That might have very well taken care of my dilemma. It's why I haven't gone back to Unity in over a year. Layers don't seem to work well in Unity -- very chaotic from my experience in Layers in other Builds such as Flash. But a PSB file might be exactly what I need. Here's what I mean: I have a 2D game (Keno game of tiles of rows) that changes colors when clicking on it. then the game chooses a random set of squares and changes its colors also. In a nutshell I couldn't get the right affect of the color schema on my tiles; using colors and shapes. So I decided to use a PNG (SVG not working in any build number!!!) for each affect. But I have an issue! Ever program script in Adobe Flash, written in AS3 (Action Script 3)? Its utilizes layers just like you showed in PSB files. You can "scrub" the "playhead" to use the layer you want to show to your gamer. I tried to use this technique in Unity and it just doesn't work. If you haven't programmed/script in AS3 for Flash, then it's difficult to explain. Scrubbing the playhead is also for animation but can be used as a show this layer, then this layer, then this layer --- which is animation of course. It makes it very easy to change appearances. What I ended up doing was put square here with new image over this image. Then when the color has to change, put the square here over this image. Revert the square-image back and so on. And after a while, the game just crashes (memory overload). I tried to destroy image, put new image, but it's not pretty. Is PSB the actual way you'd want to use layers? Because although layers exist, it doesn't seem that you can just say "blue-tile-X1-Y1 move to layer two, red-tile-y1-y1 move to layer one", which is what scrubbing the playhead does for a layered object (MovieClip or Movie Object in Flash; a layered object in Flash). Final thought in my question: If PSB is the answer to my problem, then is it as easy as say, PSB_Player(layer one visibility=false, layer 2 visibility=true)? Then I saw you talk about Layers. Layer folders? Anything in that "layer folder" is now on that layer? If that's true, then can I say "blueTile-x1y2 move to layer2; redTile-x1-y2 move to layer1" ?

[@cre8tivemediavault72]

I just joined the course and downloaded this game kit, but I`m actually having problems with setting up shooting & long-ranged weapons. I want to have a shooting system similar to the one that you used in Pinstripe. I notice that you do have a "flamethrower" in your script, as well as a function for animating the shooting, but do you have a tutorial on how to shoot the AI enemies in the kit? I`ve tried using shooting tutorials from Blackthornprod and Brackeys, but I`m having trouble hitting the AI enemies using both normal game object projectiles as well as RayCasting. Do you have a tutorial for shooting in this kit? I love the feel of shooting in Pinstripe! :) Amazing course and kit so far!

[@DavideMiccolis]

thanks!!!

[@JSGGamingChannel]

man, i wish i could afford your course.

[@grandmasterskitz748]

Why don't you utilize "any state" within your animator? You're basically accomplishing this the hard way. So from idle to walk or idle to jump, fine, good. But maybe you can jump from any state, however, you can't run if you're jumping; it wouldn't be part of the "any state" logic. If you've nene never tried it, I highly recommend you to do so. 😊

[@RamDragon32]

1:07 I've been trying to play with this for months but it looks like you skipped something. It may be a simple PEBCAK error on my end but I can't go from download to having the game open. I figured it was just a matter of opening the file... but there isn't a project file in the folder. I've even deleted and redownloaded several times thinking it might just be a matter of something not making it through. I'm no dummy and I'm familiar enough with unity to start, save, and open my own projects but I just can't open this to follow along. What, exactly, is the super obvious thing I'm too dense to see?

[@RamDragon32]

Found the blindingly obvious solution. The open method is not intuitive. Rather then navigating to and selecting a file to "OPEN" you select the folder itself and select "OPEN" which will use the assets inside to make a new project instead of opening the folder as one would expect. It was definately a PEBCAK error and a little bit of ID-10-t.
