🤑 Find LOOT hidden in cupboards and drawers if you are brave enough to look!
But always, #BewareTheMimic!

Who's ever seen a #Welsh doubloon? 🪙🌟
You will in #BewareTheMimic I decided :D

#ScreenshotSaturday I've mostly been working on a lighting solution for procedurally generated dungeons as well as refactoring a whole bunch of the character controller code this week.

Finally added a HUD! Now you can see how quickly you're going to 💀💀💀. Progress! 😅 The portrait thumbnail is dynamic for the Mimic, so it updates to whatever they are transformed into.

💡The Hunters wield a magic lamp that banishes the mimic... but at a price. Every second it glows, their vision dims, leaving them blind to danger. Use it wisely, or risk everything. Step back, and their sight slowly returns. Will you dare use it?

Added health bars to the hunters that appear when they are within range and a nice damage overlay so the hunters know they are getting about to get gobbled.

Got The Mimic's basic attack done today. When the Mimic is standing still, they can "crouch" to stop their model rotating when they look around. This also summons a magic circle. If a hunter steps into the circle, the Mimic can attack!

Made a real nice character light. It uses a randomly animated cookie to give the light movement, and has a subtle, intermittent flicker. 💡
The line art shader is looking pret-ty cool too! 🖌️

Not sure if the effect is too much or too little haha oh well, early days.

Taking a break and experimenting with shaders today. I was thinking of making #BewareTheMimic toon shaded (I still might) but why not try something different?
#GameDesign #GameArt #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev
Got first/third person camera switching working with zoom and the mimic can lock the rotation of their character model so they can look around without moving 🎥👁️

Physics + Networking is hard.
Finally got physics based object handling working over the network. Any thing that isn't nailed down can be picked up (or transformed into if you are the mimic 😱)

Today on Networking Is Hard.
Started making a Game Manager for #BewareTheMimic. ATM it locks movement before all the player are loaded in, chooses a random player to be the mimic, and only enables the mimic ability on that player. It's rough but a start!
#GameDev #GameDesign #IndieDev #IndieGame
Now the Mimic can transform into any physics object and is fully controllable with great ground and wall checks :)
Also added a reticule, and objects that can be transformed into are highlighted when hovered over.

Working on the Mimic mechanic. The rooms are procedurally generated with physics objects that can be knocked around, and the Mimic can transform into them to disguise themselves. They can lock their rotation to hide better. Very similar to Prop Hunt.
#GameDesign #IndieGame #IndieDev #BewareTheMimic
Switched from #Fishnet to #Purrnet. Really needed to get physics working on the network with minimal lag and Purrnet + #Purrdiction is managing it :) The doors are physics objects and no noticeable lag between host and client ^_^
#GameDesign #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #BewareTheMimic #Unity3D
I'm making a Hide'n'Seek style asynchronous pvp game called #BewareTheMimic. Haven't done an online multiplayer game before! I'm using Fish-Net for the networking in Unity.
So far I've got a script to build a procedural "dungeon" that syncs between clients. #GameDesign #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame
