The prototype we are working on calls for a mechanic that will use something similar to video scrubbing to find information. We thought using Timeline as a base for this would be a perfect fit and, after a little scripting, we were able to get a basic version going.

Like our last video, we are just putting together video tutorials for things we weren’t able to find easily on the Internet. Hopefully this helps out some people in the future! read more

We recently got back into prototyping thanks to a lull in contract work and we decieded to revist a prototype that uses the UFPS asset. We upgraded to the newest version and had to fix up a few things, so we decided to make a tutorial about it.

The tutorial is about opening hinged doors with raycasts using the UFPS 2.0 asset. Please check it out!

In March, Unity began offering three months of complimentary access to their Learn Premium program due to the changes surrounding COVID-19.

Yesterday, they announced that Premium will continue to be free for everyone (possibly indefinitely?). This is great news for anyone who wants to increase their Unity skills!

It really expanded my understanding of Scriptable Objects and gave me a deeper appreciation for how powerful they can be by making your project more data-driven. read more

A few weeks ago I was working on a first person prototype using a Unity asset called Ultimate FPS (UFPS) and I wasn’t able to find any results on Google/YouTube on how to get hinged doors to open and close…so I decided to create a step by step tutorial to get them working on my own and hopefully this can help someone else out there!

Ultimate FPS (version I used but now legacy):
