The water effect using the ring is super clever. I love seeing how little tricks to make a certain visual happen work.

[@philzan3627]

If you develop games, you will notice stuff like garbage collectors crippling your game if you play for extended periods. So the best way to handle it is by not having it appear/disappear or destroyed. Even worse is generations, as in some vfx, if too much, it will cripple performance. So looping animations, position shifting or scaling 0 to 1 are some sneaky practices that save performance and headaches. In my game cinematic, I get a guy shot by an arrow. The arrow is always on his back and scaled 0 but when called for, scales back to 1. ;)

[@stonefreesia6930]

I remember that effect also being used in Deus Ex, but it's really obvious its a ring because you can see the water slide back down below the water the fountain rather than just teleporting

When you drop an object in the well, it comes out of a pipe in the canal, I was kinda hoping to see the process the games goes through to do that, especially after seeing that the pipe isn't actually connected to the well

[@jackhomsher2281]

You can actually sort of see what happens by using a glitch. If you put a draggable object in the well while you're still holding it, the game will try to teleport the object directly to the well while you're still attached

Somehow I got the boy’s toy plane stuck in the well (I assume, it didn’t come out of the pipe)

Noticed something regarding the outro in one of my playthroughs: I had locked the groundskeeper out of his garden while returning the bell and put his keys, hat and his radio outside the gates, in his sight, thus assserting my dominance. Normally, he'd just go out through the back and take the long route around the garden to retreive his items. However, the back door is always locked in the final section of the game as you're stealing the bell. So he couldn't get out. After dumping the bell in your home pit, credits roll over and everyone in town is doing their normal daily stuff. That time, the groundskeeper was walking in the back path, with the radio in his hand, meaning he did indeed go out after the doors were unlocked and it wasn't a complete reset of the game environment.

How games work are always interesting to see.

That intro was godly (also the bell doesn't help me personally, it doesn't notify me of everything, even when it's on "all")

[@stevethepocket]

It's always interesting seeing the different limitations different engines have. For example, I know from experience that Source allows props and even NPCs to be spawned out of nowhere, as well as intact props being swapped out for piles of gibs, while Unity clearly requires them to be stored inside the level somewhere for later use. And of course most engines allow for true 2D asset rendering on top of the game-and modern ones can even use vector graphics-but clearly Unity can't. And lest this sound like I'm just shitting on Unity in particular, another case I found out on my own is that Unreal lets you hide anything behind a skybox wall and it'll act just like a bluescreen, but Source will always render the skybox on the bottom layer, making the trick only work in special cases like TF2's Well.

[@anzeru]

With Unity you can instantiate objects, basically spawning them in from the assets that are apart of the game. The reason why the dev made them always in the scene is because it is easier to save locations of items that have always existed in the world rather than newly created objects. From what I’ve done in Unity I can assume that it would be the easiest way to go about it.
