What am I even doing anymore

ye fuk it

Attempting to add some shake with the movements. Using Unity’s Animation Events in conjunction with Road Turtle Games’ Ez Camera Shake scripts. Pretty awesome scripts that are totally free!

I ended up spending waaay more time on trying to get layered circles working than I ever should have... here’s a damn useful formula I should’ve remembered from ages ago: T(n) = n(n-1)/2

(1) unit addition without collision

(2) unit addition with collision (and a lot of lag)

I’m working on another game that involves formations and swarming behaviour. It’s still in really early stages, but what I’m trying to get done is a dynamic swarm of units that will adapt formation shapes depending on their count.

Core formations are: offense (triangle), defence (circle) & standard (rectangle)

The aim is for each unit to move optimally between formations, each travelling the shortest distance and with fewest collisions possible. The main problem stems from the desire to make these swarms dynamic in number.

(1) shows the initial setup - each unit has a number (1-9), and each formation has preset transform positions (1-9). Each unit moves to their designated position in a straight line with no collisions.

(2) shows problems when colliders are involved, and formation presets aren’t set properly.

(3) shows the setup, but the transform positions for each formation have been individually set.

When there are a fixed amount of units, this isn’t a difficult problem; I could probably just set transform positions for every unit in each formation.. but I want to make these shapes adapt and adjust dynamically.

Spending more time on the dino game again. There has been a big shift in the art style, going for more of a retro 80s, sillier vibe (very reminiscent of Blood Dragon here) instead of the hyper realism previously.

Figured out how to do really basic hit detection which conforms better to the model using primitive spheres/capsules. 

Doing this instead of using a Mesh Collider (because that doesn't seem to work) and I imagine that would be pretty computationally expensive too.

Getting back into developing our Dinosaur arena game, I’ll try to post things I end up working on here - goals, problems, solutions etc. 

The current state of the game is very bare, dinosaurs have working camera, movement, animations and attacks (melee & ranged), and my priority at the moment is to implement networking as opposed to the only existing split-screen.
