Recreating Luigi’s Mansion’s Ghost Capture | Mix and Jam

Capturing a ghost in Luigi’s Mansion is a very satisfying mechanic and the animations add a lot of personality to the game - so I thought it would be a good idea to try building a similar effect using Unity!

It's actually scary how well you recreate game machanics...

[@Tekkenandgaming]

Brndn ' but impressive

[@aquaarmour4924]

You should make splatoons shooting and painting terrain system

[@NEURALDELVER]

That certainly sounds like an interesting game mechanic to replicate! I would guess you'd do a lot of raycasting and using a decal rendering shader, the more complex part would be adding in the movement system.

[@Storm-te4sf]

I second this! Would be fascinating to see the process!

[@abhilashkatta]

This

[@epicredhot5675]

As far as I know, it uses a similar technique to how the goop in Super Mario Sunshine is first spawned in, where it pulls from a pre-made "goop map" image and applies it from a top-down perspective. The only differences would be allowing the image to update in real-time, and figuring out a way to map out the walls' ink.

[@myras1522]

The thing that floors me every single time I watch one of your videos is how you nailed the feel and gravity of the mechanics. People notice this impossible to describe "game feel" when playing a title the developers put their hearts into. And here you are breaking down step by step how to create what most people would just write off as video game magic. You make game development feel achievable to the everyday person. Please keep these videos coming, they're downright inspiring.

[@Danidev]

Really cool man, those IK animations are looking so damn juicy

[@mixandjam]

Thanks Dani! But I think your parkour stuff is even more juicy. Or should I say milky?

[@Danidev]

@@mixandjam ;D

[@stu-ool5155]

@@mixandjam is this flirting i see?

[@fallondo]

Juicy indeed

[@rogercruz1547]

Dani complimenting with something as "(orange) juicy" is an act of treason

[@elektra81516]

wow! I don't need to spend $80 on final IK or write my own IK script thanks to the Animation Rigging package! Never even knew it existed before now!

[@Leonardorth.]

It's crazy how simple you make it look. Great work as always !

[@AWA1L]

Any plans for making a full game of your own someday?

[@YuriNoirProductions]

if he needs a professional game designer i would be in :D

Outstanding, once again ! Great work, great explainations and great video ! Thank you for all your hard work dude you're amazing !

[@GameDevHQ]

Love watching these! Well done!!

[@tortilla_sqaures7597]

im a 3d artist who's favorite game so happens to be the original luigis mansion, thank you for this it made me really happy :)

[@joaoguilhermevieiramelo769]

Holy shit!!!!! The animations are perfect!

[@thorn_lekoh]

A bit more technical than usual but we can still clearly understand what you're doing on screen without having the knowledge ourselves, which is impressive !

[@MythicLegionDev]

That was awesome!

[@nextProgram]

The ghost’s animation looks amazing

[@VyvyanTheGreat]

This is incredible

[@AlienoidNovace]

Me, seeing this video in my sub box: Okay there's no WAY he's going to fit a ghost capture mechanic into 7 minutes. There's no WAY. Me, watching the video: Me, finishing the video: huh. well i'll be damned.

[@cihanemreozen3152]

yess another awesome video from mix and jam :) thank you for these amazing inspirational videos andre :) you are doing an amazing work to the community :)

[@felipe18383]

Wow, this new rigging package looks really promising

[@adrian2433]

These videos are just so good, I love them

[@super8bitable]

Mortal Kombat’s Fatality mechanic would be cool to see remade.

[@fahimfaysal1753]

How about recreating octopath's visual style next time? Would really help with one of my current projects.

[@artsyomni]

As an artist, I can say that’s a tall order =P

[@amaradev]

You're amazing mate !

[@heavenstone3503]

It was PERFECT Just... WHERE WENT THE "and, after a bit of adjustements, this is how it turned out" I loved that ! I hope you'll say that new time !

[@CaptainJeoy]

Beautiful!

[@deblasiocorporationd.b.c.7603]

Fantastic

[@TheEris94]

Well done

[@sprinby5845]

Next time do the ghost capture of the first game with the music

[@AlirezaTabasi7]

Since you joined Unity Technologies and rigging package is a fresh new thing, how much help do you always get from Unity stuff you make this stuff happen?

[@mazhartaylanarslan6372]

Is it possible to do the battle mechanics of the infinity blade?

[@sebastienkhai2031]

Your projects are really amazing, but how do you run the game with the new input system ? Need to correct the script ?

[@LamNguyen-sy2bv]

You are the best

[@adityachoubey935]

Mix and Jam I am a sort-of beginner in Unity and the only exposure to C# coding is from Unity. How did you learn animation and coding at this level?

[@dragon_evolution]

what do you think of recreating the portal gun of portal?

[@BGPbgp109]

You should make Okami’s celestial brush system!

[@Astul89]

Hello there, loved your channel since the first few videos you uploaded, keep up the good work. Now with that out of the way, would you consider doing the units movement and combat from a total war game in one of your videos? at least just 1 melee unit, im interested in knowing how you would approach the individual members of the unit movement and combat against another unit. I know you usually do stuff about more popular and "flashy" games but still it would be really interesting to see and in any case you could add some of the total war warhammer magic to it to make it more colorful and whatnot. Edit: spelling

[@VHShark]

Very nice, I love how you show unity packages and how we can use them :D

[@ACatWithACrown]

Awesome work, André! I love how you incorprated the new rigging package, it seems hella powerful!

[@knju1monsterhunt656]

Can you do some of Mass Effect's ability usage next? Like the Biotic's gravity manipulation through abilities like Pull and Singularity?

[@Dignelson]

Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@rahulnmahajan7224]

You are Amazing! Outstanding work! Super Super Cool. Thanks buddy..

[@samuelhayden6457]

Can you do super mario odyssey capture ability next

[@dikay_]

Please do the portals from Portal

[@OrnsteinTheLeon]

Do the for honor fighting system!!

[@honestywonesty]

I really hope a game like this *(the recreation you did)* will be added into Play Store so we all can download it and play it, like mobile Luigi's Mansion! OwO

[@LuckDorgado]

Bixo eu to ligado que tu é brasileiro :D canal foda meu sagrado

[@Tamdev9]

Wow, smooth bone is part i like on this video :D

[@Kyranyoutubevids]

Can you do a tutorial of how to make the switch between spells mechanic from Lego Harry Potter years 1-4 and years 5-7 in unity 3d?

[@obalfaqih]

One of the best channels👌🏻

[@kaplishk]

Can I use this script? I tried recreating it myself but no luck you did it perfectly on recreating it from Luigi Mansion.

[@ellenmesina8960]

Can you do the hammer ghost I'm just wondering

[@EnderTGaming]

Now this is one i'd wanna look at, Luigi's mansion is one of my fav games and you've just recreated this so well really nice man!

[@Rambolink94]

You should recreate the Dying Lights first person climbing mechanic. Either that or the ragdoll zombie mechanic from Dying Light.

[@mazhartaylanarslan6372]

Do you have detailed tutorial videos and how can I support you?

[@londonboy3501]

When will we be actually as good as u, man ur super good at recreating stuff🔥

[@walney2008]

Hello, a lot of your videos, how would you do how to make animations like in this video made? how to make an example of the game zilap.io? Thanks in advance, I'm also looking to learn games with ships and tanks, thanks

[@bassemzammeli1553]

I love your channel man , can you recreate some effects and fight combos from Devil may cry 5 it was GOTY 2019 ? the lack of tutorials for similar games like metal gear and final fantasy is unbelievable

[@EmperorKnightlock]

Would you ever consider recreating Infamous: Second Son's resource drain. Basically, you can absorb your element from anything in the environment and it looks like you're draining the resource particles into your hand.
