The tactical update part one for the Liha demo is out and about!
It's free explosions and gunfighting in a world that will make you question what "up" really means.
And you can go and play it right here, right now! :D

To also say something positive. I do enjoy quite a lot that I can write UI in code.
No visual editors required and all.
I get that many people like visual editors.
But I prefer working in text form and it's really enjoyable that I can.
The Data Binding stuff is excellent as well

Okay. I found a solution. And it's fine. But it's kinda funky. Feels a bit sneaky to do it.
But hey. I guess that's also kind of what the CSS heritage brings to the mix lol

Steam Machines and Frames are nice and all. But I'm so looking forward to that new Steam Controller.
I loved the first model. The new one looks like it'd be perfect for my sasquatch mittens.
I definitely will find out once I can get a hold of one of these

In fact.
I could probably use that to speed up module/module overlap tests (that operate on the SDFs). But it's already pretty fast so ... eh.

It appeats that this diversion path technique wasn't going to suffice. It would sometimes use transit elements where the exit connections would point to existing geometry.
So I now rasterize the modules SDFs into a coarse world space grid to allow cheap look-aheads when placing modules.

I did add a little diversion path in case the graph cannot be resolved spatially. Ie. there ain't no room to put a module.
This uses small transit elements to move the execution to a spot where there is space.
And it is wild (but plausible) 😂

The level isn't functional yet.
But the graph generates pretty things now. And it's very controllable.
Incidentally, this also fixes the issue of level segments being open so players could get out into the void.

I wasn't happy with the junk I produced on my own, after all, and seeked help on the interwebs.
Which means I watched youtube videos, hoping to find somebody that knows more about that topic than I do.
Found @theshaggydev.bsky.social s videos.
Highly recommended! Thanks for making them!

I have some world generation back, now.
Although everything else is broken.

Papers have been wroked through.
Honestly. I'm all kinds of exhausted from that. The amount of despair and anxiety is rough, let me tell ya.
Time for a bit of a short break for a day or two. Then more Space Mc Shooty game!

If YOU have a Unity game out there you should probably not sit this out. I guess it's not that urgent, all things considered.
But you bet that once the evil-doers reverse engineer what that vulnerability is, they go on a hunt for stragglers.
Don't be a straggler.

Really it's Tag der deutschen Einheit.
But either way.
It's funny that today of all days, Unity publishes patches for some security vulnerability that apparently needs somewhat immediate attention.
Because ... Unity? Get it?

Busy doing paperwork things.
I shall sprinkle you with more random gamedev stuff and funky gameplay again, when all the papers have been worked.

Kinda makes sense now that they went on ahead and tried to make new projects cloud projects by default the other time.
That in combination with default-enabled diagnostics services sure would bump the user numbers right up

I was today years old when I learned there is a FixedString API in Unity. With which one can do allocation free string manipulations.
Can combine that with an extention to TMP_Text to accept these. Nice, nice

So Unitys Autotile Tile generates default colliders for sprites that have no custom shape. Making it effectively useless when painting a tileset that has walls and floors at the same time.
Because the floors will become solid.
Sometimes I just can't with this engine 🥲
