[@Danidev]

yooo great job man! looveee this, Mario Part 2 is one of my favorite games

[@mixandjam]

Aw, thanks a lot Dani! Always good to hear from ya

[@UnitCodesChannel]

Dani where have you been!!!??? Let's collab.

I'm glad you're still making these kind of videos! I would love to sea Wind Waker's sailing mechanic recreated 👀

I remember trying to make a Mario Party-like game in Unity a while back, and it was a lot harder than I expected to create the board gameplay. I didn't use the splines package, as I wasn't aware of it. Instead, the way I went about building board navigation was simply giving each space object my board space script, which both determined which type of space it was (blue, red, happening, etc) and had a list of whichever space or spaces came next. Then, when the character was set to move, it would check the current space's list of following spaces, and, if the list only had a single entry, would move forward, and if it had multiple, would act as a junction. The movement would just linearly interpolate the character position from one space to the next and rotate the character to face the direction they were moving. The board gameplay, while simple from a player perspective, is a whole lot more complicated under the hood than most people think. My board spaces ended up having quite a few different properties to handle different situations, with each space type having both landing events and walkover events, a toggle for whether a space is a star space or not that's separate from the space type enum since star spaces can take the place of any other kind of space when the star isn't on them, and a space type for invisible spaces, which don't count towards the number spaces moved when a character walks over it, which I could use for creating smooth cuved paths and junctions. Ultimately, I never finished this project because I struggled with getting multiplayer working with Unity's "new" input system, and I'm much more of an artist than a programmer, so the complex and intricate systems I wrote became difficult for me to manage and understand as I got further along. I'm glad I tried it, though. It taught me a lot and gave me a lot more appreciation for the complexity of Mario Party's board gameplay.

I'm glad you're back. Your talent is impressive!!!

[@mixandjam]

Thank you so much!

[@gamingsincethe80z59]

Awesome job, as always. I hope this means you're back to giving us great tutorials on a regular basis like before. Keep up the great work.

[@DanielSantallaa]

Nice to see you back mate!

[@Pdexterness]

Welcome back! Great to see more from you!

[@AlecAndersonZx]

Glad to see a new upload! I didn't know Unity had a built in spline package. I'm gonna check that out!

[@soulgamesstudio]

After a long time, Happy New Year! 🥳

[@UnitCodesChannel]

Hey long time indeed.

[@grocco123]

Keeeep 'em coming! Missed your vids

[@datnastysalad5616]

We are SO BACK! I've always loved the hidden art behind "map movement" type mechanics, thanks for covering it!

[@djiomouche2619]

So Happy to see you're back!

[@rickham1527]

I have been trying to find something about split path in Mario party for a personal project. I'm so glad to have finally found something! Great job!

[@Paul-Jean]

A tremendously well-done craft! Love it.

[@therealgamewizerd]

oh dang he's alive, welcome back!

[@NadzW]

mario party was the first project i ever tried to recreate in Unity when i started getting into game dev. Although mine didn't look this good, im happy to see it was somewhat similar

[@matheusberger4114]

awesome video again, André!!

[@AlexStrook]

yayyy a new episode! I love these so much

[@medianartist5533]

Perfect as always, thank you for sharing this!

[@TackleProd]

Ive been wondering how to recreate mario party! This video is for me! Thanks!

[@GamesBySaul]

This was great! I loved it, really made me wanna play some Mario Party! Thanks for the excellent breakdown!

[@CiroContinisio]

Aha, nice to see a new Mix and Jam video!! What a nice surprise!

[@esqueletaoplays7671]

You saved me here bro! On december I made a board like this as a prototype for my game, but in the place of the spine I used the Ai navmesh + the navmesh links, and oh boy, it taked to mush time to create just one board that I give up on the idea 😅, with the spines it looks like really easy to create a board.

[@TheProtectedVoid]

Really nice!

[@light535]

My goodness this is really cool

[@PurpleDaemon_]

HE IS BACK!!!

[@bonifacio1275]

Eu fico impressionado com o talento que você tem em fazer isso, espero um dia fazer também

You are alive! Thanks great vid

[@pjforde1978]

Welcome back! You post so infrequently that your voice keeps changing.

[@roeyk7409]

God damn your videos and explanations of how you break down the mechanics are really awesome 👍 👍. You deserve much much more views 😔

[@playermat8574]

The confetti is real good!

[@seeranos]

There's a big downside to tying the space pads and movement directly to each knot on the splines. One alternative way would be to make the knots of one spline to determine a node structure for the spaces, and then one to determine the path the player travels between each knot. I guess your method would work if its possible to add knots that are essentially "null" knots.

[@owencoopersfx]

Excellent work! Very cool mechanics to clone.

[@WeiseGuy91]

Oh I'd love to make a Mario Party inspired game, great job!

Awesome video, but there is something inherently sad about seeing Jammo playing a party game like this alone
