Vaulting, Taking Cover and More! - Unity Indie Game Devlog #19

[@DanielLochner]

Just thought I’d mention here that I’ve since changed the way I handle vaulting. I speak about how I use Unity’s built-in Match Targeting system in my latest devlog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lanVgHZqf8uBpas :)

[@lemueledward5350]

As soon as I heard corona virus I had to like.was not expecting that🤣

[@isto_inc]

Just discovered the channel. Some real progress you’ve made with this game. Can’t wait to see how far it goes

[@DanielLochner]

Really appreciate the support! Great work on your game's development as well! Subscribed! :)

[@phobos6280]

Glad to see a fellow South African that's also into game development. Really good content and very inspiring for someone like myself that's only just starting out and learning the ropes. Subbed!

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks man! Really appreciate the kind words! Best of luck with your game dev journey! :)

[@packlimo]

Game is coming along nicely. I'm really impressed to how much you've achieved. Dam!

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words! 😊

[@laughinggolem9459]

Best of luck with the development journey, your polish level on the video is superb!

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! 😁

[@ezpz4646]

Bro the movement and everything looks so much better 😂🤣👌🏼 excellent work.

[@DanielLochner]

Great!

[@SamHogan]

Woah, nice work, those animations are seamless with the environment! I especially like that aiming/taking cover mechanic, you always think of the small things that I think will really set your game apart

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks Sam! Means a lot to me! 😊

[@DualWielded]

Vaulting around in that destroyed city looked super clean! Very well done! Along with the covering, the mini map, the crossairs... It's always so cool to see how many thing you manage to add with each devlog. The game keeps looking better and better!

[@RobLang]

I'm astounded at the complexity of vaulting; you explained it brilliantly. Is it me or is this the first time we've seen an environment that looks very different from your standard tent-in-a-field test one! It looks great. I love how many settings you've added to your game - even the opacity of locked buttons, that's great. It's something that I want to do when Clomper eventually gets some kind of a menu! Brilliant video once again, Daniel. Great work!

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks Rob! I really appreciate the feedback! 😊 And yes, I needed some environment with props to interact with! 😋

[@indieprogress7170]

That vaulting system is awesome. The decision tree along with the combined logic, explained very well too. Nice work!!

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! I really appreciate it! :)

[@kevinnguuyen]

Your devlogs Are so chill to watch man! Goodjob

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks Kewin! I’m glad you like them! 😊

[@awandergamedeveloper7683]

Best intro I have seen in a while haha and the vaulting looks superb!

[@DanielLochner]

Haha thanks! Appreciate it! 😄

[@necracuio9813]

Wow,you making good progress with the game,btw good intro xd

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! I really appreciate it! :)

[@_danny_idk]

Very nice, as always!!!

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks Danny! I appreciate your support! 😊

[@sclexz]

After singleplayer you should try to implement singleplayer!

[@ksk_2606]

Did I missed a joke?

[@DanielLochner]

If you meant multiplayer, then yes! I’ll be implementing an online co-op mode soon! 😄

[@GameMakerRob]

@@DanielLochner lol I thought he was joking around >

[@Skikopl]

[@JacksBestGaming]

@@DanielLochner I was gonna ask about that but he already did lol. also YAY!

[@TonsOfHunStudios]

That intro xD I'm liking the minimap! And the vaulting system is really smart and turned out awesome!!! I agree, the vaulting and cover definitely make you feel more a part of the environment. The new input management is very useful as well. Great work Daniel!

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks Garrett! I think the vaulting and taking cover systems worked out well and definitely add a whole new dimension to the gameplay! Appreciate the support! 😊

[@nalamthembu6505]

Finally a South African developer on yt!

[@DanielLochner]

🇿🇦🥳

[@ReeceGeofroy]

That intro hit deep...LMAO

[@DanielLochner]

😅😅

[@ThePoinball]

Best Intro Ever :D And Keep it up ! You motivate me to work hard on my game :)

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! 😂 And I’m really glad to hear that! 😊

[@frinky]

fantastic work!

[@DanielLochner]

Thank you! :)

[@VinnyGameDev]

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! I’m glad you like them! 😄

[@branidev]

what a nice Intro! :)

[@itgaming136]

Looking very good

[@DanielLochner]

Thank you! 😁

[@fbiofusa3986]

This game accurately describes the current state of Joburg!

[@bip_studios]

As always, Daniel, great video! I wonder, which Unity render pipeline are you using?

[@DanielLochner]

I’m currently using the default render pipeline, however I’m looking to upgrade to URP soon! Hopefully before the next devlog! Thanks for the support! 😁

[@sahilgondhalekar2234]

Will you add skins to weapons? Probably in the new update.

[@DanielLochner]

Sounds like a nice idea! However definitely only in a future update! Thanks for all the suggestions! 😁

[@dirt_bike.1014]

Keep up the good work man Hi

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! I really appreciate the support! 😄

[@trident_interactive]

Yeah I think he should see a doctor

[@DanielLochner]

Haha, definitely! 😂

[@KcMove2Smoove]

corona time

[@ezpz4646]

Implementing PVP multiplayer to this and perhaps battle royale would be an excellent idea. Any plans for those in the future?

[@DanielLochner]

I’ll be implementing an online co-op mode soon! Will speak about it in an upcoming devlog! :)

[@aliffirdi2880]

Player mechanic using statemachine?

[@aliffirdi2880]

Is like enum cover,normal movement,action

[@AnirudhIsOnline]

Cool game 👍

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! :)

[@sahilgondhalekar2234]

Will you include a secret collectable item which can be found on different maps and on secret locations. And then we can use them to buy powerful weapons and equipment. That would be cool.what do you think.

[@DanielLochner]

That sounds like a great idea! I’ll definitely place secret chests around the map which contain gold and gems! You can then use gems to unlock specific weapons from the weapon rack, or use gold to open supply crates and unlock weapons randomly! Thanks for the suggestion! 😄

[@bowler28]

That was all episodes ;( I am waiting for more :D

[@DanielLochner]

Next one is now out! :D

[@bowler28]

@@DanielLochner I saw that on your Discord :D

[@ksk_2606]

Will the game support Controllers? 🎮

[@DanielLochner]

Currently, I’m designing the game specifically for mobile devices, however if enough people request it, I’ll make console/PC ports which will support controllers! 😁

[@ksk_2606]

@@DanielLochner But you could support Controller on mobile, couldn't you?

[@sakiomam3421]

I contacted you on Instagram but you didn't respond to me I really want to give you ideas for your game so it would be cool if you respond to me

[@TonsOfHunStudios]

I'd encourage you to join his discord! There is a channel for feedback in there! discord.gg/sJysbdu

[@DanielLochner]

Ah, I’m sorry about that Momo! I rarely use my personal Instagram! Thanks for linking the discord Garrett! 😁 Looking forward to reading all your suggestions there!

[@JonasBroman]

Haha the vaulting looks so cool! You mentioned being able to interact with the world. Will you make it possible for the player to break stuf by shooting it, or add buttons/switches in the world to interact with?

[@DanielLochner]

Yeah! I'm planning on adding explosive barrels and other fun interactable objects! Thanks for the feedback! :)

[@aarongandhi1375]

decent looking game considering its on mobile 👍

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks! 😄

[@paulfromwalmart148]

Vid!

[@sahilgondhalekar2234]

Where were ya daniel.

[@DanielLochner]

I’d recommend joining the discord server! I’m always active on there, and I post announcements if anything comes up! Thanks for the support! 😊

[@semsimmyg2423]

Nice game man, I have a question are you south African i can hear that accent

[@DanielLochner]

Yeah I am! 🥳🇿🇦

[@GameMakerRob]

I really need to get into 3D, half of my game ideas fail with a 2D perspective

[@DanielLochner]

Definitely! I'd recommend starting to learn Unity for 3D games though! I began with GameMaker Studio as well, and eventually moved onto Unity once I had published my first platformer game! :)

[@Electric_Dragon]

In your case making video games

[@LuBRiHeRo]

You really have something here I'm just shock you decide to focus the game to be played on Mobile, I don't understand. Would of been perfect to be played with joysticks alone, no hundreds of icons on screen.

[@DanielLochner]

Thanks Andrew! The game will also be available for the Switch, so no need for the on-screen joystick! There is also an option to remove the joystick entirely and use the built-in accelerometer! 😄
