2D Sprite Outlines! // Unity Game Devlog #5

[@CodeGaff]

The outlines make such a huge difference to the intuitiveness of the editing process for sure. It was very clever to sample the intersection points of objects with the terrain like that to calculate the connection points. Great devlog as always Sam!

[@SamHogan]

I appreciate it! Building/editing still has some issues, but I think it's getting there

[@CodeGaff]

@@SamHogan Definitely is!

[@JonasBroman]

Adding outlines was a great idea! And your method for connecting objects to the ground was impressive :)

[@SamHogan]

Thanks! Yeah, the ground connection thing took way longer to figure out than I was expecting

[@therealgboi3895]

Yea same buddy

[@williamsokol0]

why wait unity is free!

[@therealgboi3895]

@@williamsokol0 ikr. Im just to dumb to understand it yet!

[@islandgames5206]

Awesome video, I feel like this game is going to be really satisfying to play with all that polish :D

[@SamHogan]

Thanks! And I hope that turns out to be the case!

[@MichoSchmidt]

Looks great! And the combined with objects was great.

[@ZeroTris]

The outline is looks pretty good :D Also the way to calculate the connection point with the terrain - that's a smart way! :)

[@SamHogan]

Thanks! The outline's pretty simple but I think it adds some clarity

[@yeetus9191]

Just starting in unity, so watching people like you really helps to teach me the basics :) Oh, and very smart way of making objects connect to the ground, would have never thought of that

[@elchupacabra4936]

Hello Sam! Very nice video and the game looks very interesting! Could you please provide me with a script or some info on how you achieved the outline? Thank you in advance!

[@rose95524]

Great video as always

[@SamHogan]

And thank you as always!

[@blobenz2321]

Really nice video! Really want to play the game dude!

[@SamHogan]

Thanks! Demo coming soon...

[@blobenz2321]

@@SamHogan Yay ^^

[@felipecss3295]

Where is code?

[@YannickGames]

Wow this game looks pretty neat! :) Do you use Unitys phisiks or have you implemented your own?

[@SamHogan]

Thanks! I'm just using good ol' Box2D (unity's default for 2D)

[@TuxedoDogss]

wait how does this only have 127 likes and 29 comments c'mon people he made a game with infinte levels

[@lora6938]

Hi! What needs to be added or changed in the script so that it works under OnMouseDown and on OnMouseUp line disappeared? Can you help me? 1:03

[@sufianahmad7337]

very well done

[@riskybicky8335]

Is there an efficient way to render an outline over sprites that have animations?? Tried doing it in an update method and it's really respurce intensive

[@CodingKricket]

So cool!

[@hadjidejan9541]

Que Genial!

[@hadjidejan9541]

obviously i'll subscribe.

[@SamHogan]

Really appreciate it!

[@jasonario4781]

Hey, Sam! Would kill for that outline script!

[@SamHogan]

Here's the inspiration: www.h3xed.com/programming/create-2d-mesh-outline-in-unity-silhouette and it doesn't work on regular sprites, only vector graphic sprites. My script is kind of a mess, but if you're still interested I can give more info

[@BRINK2011THEGAME]

Sam Hogan you should put that outline script on sale on unity asset store 👍🏽

[@SamHogan]

@@BRINK2011THEGAME Not a bad idea. I would need to get it working with normal bitmap sprites first, which I think would be a slight challenge

[@shadowfox87]

What if instead of an outline, I want edge glow?

[@SamHogan]

I know you can add different materials to the line renderers, so something like that could work.

[@howardty2733]

Why haven't this video grown so much?

[@arcanaz6583]

Cause he sucks at providing the code.

[@Finley-g9z]
