Recreating A Link Between Worlds' Wall Merge | Mix and Jam

One of the main mechanics of this game is that Link can turn into a painting to move on the walls. I wanted to test out and see if I could achieve something similar using Unity!

Ayeee my man is back, this is such an awesome mechanic!

[@zhengyang001]

you know you are awesome as well

[@gmatheus10]

new video when? or u cant do that

[@jamesalbus7991]

DANI?!

[@Cheesecannon25]

Drink Milk

[@jamesalbus7991]

take a break. (or u can't do that)

[@TitoOliveiraDesign]

Wow, that was more complicated than i thought it would be

[@mixandjam]

I know right? Thankfully I managed after a lot of thinking and amazing support from Freya!!

[@TitoOliveiraDesign]

@@mixandjam She's great

[@sparkybleu1737]

@@mixandjam Super cool of you to give her the credit she deserves :)

[@ludologian]

well game development isn't always hard nor easy, it just needs motivation and time

[@ludologian]

@@mixandjam but I couldn't understand why you wouldn't adjust the model colliders and meshes 2:05 instead of creating a system like what you did .I haven't played the game, but wouldn't be easier if I do that?

[@RamblePrism]

wOAH, I had no idea it would be this complex. Well done

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

What an epic mechanic! Very similar to Super Mario Odyssey 8-bit mode, love it! Great approach.

[@mehzurilo]

jammo's painting sprite it's so f-ing beautiful and cute

[@MrJ3Tom]

The level of polish in the projects you jump into and the editing is so high in your videos, it brings more than regular information you would get from a tutorial. It brings inspiration for developers! Been thinking about it since the last few videos, but it feels like this kind of endeavour diserves support!

[@Sorwah]

Dang, thanks man. This gives me some ideas as I've been stuck for weeks trying to get something similar with wall riding indefinitely on a wall. Specifically, trying to recreate Lucio's wall riding where it stays on the mesh regardless of mesh wall direction. I appreciate your hard work and keep it up!

[@ibra.h]

Closest Corner to the Character Controller is my new favorite alliteration now ;)

[@MetalGearMk3]

Unity should official support this channel with money, this stuff is super practical and useful. Nothing abstract.

[@AmanKumar-tu2og]

Loved it man!! Specially the transition, it was sickk!

[@tebucedric]

Looks like a *wall* bunch of fun !

[@fionat.6411]

Amazin work. The tweaks in the end helped it to be even more amazing.

[@MinhocaMortifera]

Fantastic, the mechanic is fully functional, the effects and the stylized paint turned it fabolous! Amazing!

[@hasaiah]

Brilliant work and expertly explained! Love how turned out.

[@fahdasq507]

when you click on a mix and jam video and click like before the intro even ends because you know right away it's going to be some quality content :)

[@whatschoen]

This was amazing. Your videos are very helpful and inspiring. I like how you always try to split a complex problem into simple steps! Keep up the good work!

[@TheeKennyMcB]

I loved this addition to the Zelda Fanchise! This mechanic was so much fun! Amazing job recreating it and explaining your process. Very inspiring! Thank you!

[@SuperWiiBros08]

I hope you make a game that mixes all the game mechanics you've recreated into one big game

[@BlueBird02760]

If more games had this "Wall Merge" power. Heck, I'd even go for a Minecraft mod. Awesome reproduction. :)

[@sayuriiida]

Wow! Your content is getting better and better! I never found out how to implement this mechanics, it's so complicated! I'll definitely check out Freya's content as well. Loved this video

[@fugoogle_was_already_taken]

I appreciate your work deeply! It teaches us to break the complex mechanic to more simple ones

[@sabrango]

This effect was made 7 year ago! Gamedev is not Easy! Great job MIx and Jam!

[@ramiroguerrero3463]

Your content is always top notch, André! You always trigger in me the desire of making a game, no matter what project i'm working on 😄

[@marving.8868]

I understand close to nothing but enjoy the videos so much! Great work!

[@NyxDiscordia33]

One thing that I really love about your videos is that they help me think. That probably sounds strange, but there's a lot of times where I see a mechanic in a game or one pops in my head and I'm just like "I have no idea how to even begin thinking about how that works..." then I pop into your video and the moment you start explaining the steps to recreate it my brain just goes "Oh, I get it now!" It's a combination of inspiration and self-affirmation

[@galathorus3256]

Sick! Nice job man! I started following Freya a few weeks back actually. I'm really bad at math but it's very interesting :) keep it up!

[@crimsonbinome22]

6:00 normal map upside down? Shadows are on top of the bricks instead of the bottom. This is an awesome video otherwise, nice work!

[@gazereaper]

yeah the other bricks as well. Either the entire normal map is inverted or just the green channel.

[@guys-in9vd]

the mortar i sticking out :p

[@Lanman106]

Amazing as always! Great work!

[@muthu5665]

Seriously love seeing the videos. Hoping for more videos

[@Salmontres]

You nailed the mechanic! Good work

[@PuppyGamerYT]

I follow Freya's shader, math, and tool series, absolute legend!

[@MythicLegionDev]

That was really cool! Nice job!

[@JelleVermandere]

Amazing work as always!

[@amnesiacsandwich66]

Great video as always. Keep up the good work, guys!

[@haythamprg7343]

Amazing content! I love your work❤️

[@nextProgram]

Amazing work, nice job

[@enesduru2658]

Finally, dude... I've been waiting for your talent to get inspiration.

[@lukav200]

I will never understand how you only have 145k subs. This is absolutely amazing!

[@kev_G]

Whaaa this is so cool! Awesome work on the camera logic.

[@BitGamey]

Nicely done, as always.

[@gryffo2354]

Not only is your work amazing, you might just have the best English I've ever heard from a Brazilian. You're an inspiration in more ways than one!

[@sebastianvanderstroom288]

This was awesome, and looks incredible!

[@457Deniz457]

Dude thats again such a masterpiece ! Thanks for this math project :D

[@ChrisLerouxDesign]

These videos are always absolutely incredible, but can I say how gorgeous your thumbnails are? They're consistently of excellent quality. Just had to shout that out.

[@Chengi]

I loved that intersection pivot solution, that was really clever.

[@cihanemreozen3152]

Man every time i see your videos i'll be like "Yaaayyy ! ! ! another video from Mix And Jam." I wish you could put videos more often but i understand its not easy and you are so busy. Its better then not seeing any videos from you though :). I see that you get better every time and thats awesome.Such High quality work should surpass 100k subs and you are so close! ! :) Love you and your work dude.

[@Cyranek]

closing in on 100k subs :0

[@cocasurfboards]

Amazing work!! Love to see your videos. This one was pretty complicated, huh!? ❤🎮💡

[@baconchaney]

Really nice job man!

[@mazander_entertainment]

Fantastic work

[@liznt]

Amazing work!

[@johne.7568]

Just saw this this on Twitter, what are the odds. Great job on this by the way, super snappy!

[@fulongfromthegrave]

Excellent stuff!

[@rcookie5128]

Definitely a feat I underestimated at first... Cool looking result!

[@swarth8632]

This is incredible!

[@Nif3]

Fantastic work.

[@faisalsurya9311]

i really love all of your project :)

[@amaradev]

I wouldn't expected that much of work for this mechanic... :O

[@lpnp9477]

I'm impressed by the complex math and that level of polish! I kinda want to try to recreate this in UE4 just for fun!

[@Sackboy612]

Amazing! Great insight

[@MaxIronsThird]

To sell the transition even better and make the wall movement more engaging, i would set the camera diagonally to the wall in both X and Y, giving the player the feel that it's still a 3D game.

[@renatusdev]

I think I'm in love with your game dev.

[@dj_justanotheruser_yt]

imagine this combined with the flowmotion combat, you could make a really cool game.

[@RamblePrism]

2D Jammo is adorable

[@EnekonGaming]

You guys are incredible and geniuses!

[@unofficialSummer]

Wow, that definitely wasn't what I was looking for when I spotted your video, that's super nice, take this like and sub

[@PanutatRatchatasuwan]

That was amazing thank you.

[@Doodle1678]

This is my favorite Zelda game and this mechanic is genius

[@LukeKondor]

Wow this is incredible.

[@AaditDoshi]

Amazing! Good tutorial.

[@rondevz]

As a developer I appreciate a lot your content. That's a nice mechanic!! 🔥

[@josephgarfield3363]

I've been waiting for this

[@real_linkw0w]

Nice man such an informative Video

[@WhelmedCupCake]

thats insane! you are amazing

[@bdd740]

This is insane thanks a lot

[@fabianalfonsoflores1952]

It is always amazing to see the creativity and cleverness you have to implement the effects that surelly took months and dozens of people to make the same in the original game. I'm fasscinated with your channel! Go on!

[@joaoguilhermevieiramelo769]

Just perfect!!

[@MsPoiko]

Your videos are pure Gold, a suggestion would be Ori powers, that one that slow time, it's pretty interesting

[@hy3cinth]

I love Zelda, I love your content, this was amazing!

[@CirbyWeh]

Amazing, really good job! Would love to see some 2D Shadergraph stuff in the future, made by you. I am sure you can come up with some cool effects~

[@thepresidentgaming404]

you've got a new subscriber .keep it up .make a series from beginner to advance throw making games

[@kazeplays]

this is pretty cool

[@BlueberryMauro]

WOW, after all this time you upload a video, the video is awesome, keep it up!!! 😅

[@DarkDax]

Incredible

[@danielmendoza3894]

You are amazing dude!

[@heyitzmae]

A Link Between Worlds is one of my favorite Zelda games, mostly due to the wall merge! I never realized it was such a complicated process :0

[@jamesalbus7991]

woah dude, thats amazing!!!

[@daniiiielw2002]

This channel is underrated

[@claramiranda6853]

incrível como sempre, deco :)

[@mattsharp6708]

This is wild considering I struggled for a long time to just get a Projector to put a circle on the ground correctly.

[@gabrielnascimento4394]

Ok now, that was amazing

[@MadamLava094]

Very impressive! I love ALBW to death, and would honestly love to know how they managed it on the 3DS.

[@kevihale7406]

every video i watch I'm left wondering afterwards: me: "what will his next project be? next project comes out me: "yeah that makes perfect sense he covered that, its an awesome mechanic!" btw: you've done lots of gameplay mechanics, why not try to re-create a boss (or mini-boss)fight?

[@OceanShark384]

Awesome!

[@anayaferreira8400]

Mano para de ser tão foda!!! (mentira, para não, continua q é sempre muito dahora ver vídeo novo seu

[@Rambolink94]

Wow! This was freaking awesome! Next you should emulate the spinner walk climb mechanic in Twilight Princess. Or, the basic Zelda 3rd person fighting mechanics in Ocarina of time, Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild, etc.

[@link-kun5974]

I don't even know how to code basix program. But I love this series.

[@Crazybark]

I didn't get notified for it but nothin can keep me from cool stuff like this

[@Leonardorth.]

Quality content as always. How long did it take to make this ?

[@Zhinoi]

this is why I subscribed to this. Guess I should get back to making my truck demolish crates so I can be like this
