• Some good news - itch.io featured the game on their homepage, and it's got a bunch of plays, playthrough videos and comments. Very stoked. One of the playthroughs with commentary, from Gryz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_HPZGRZF8g

• Looks good, big congrats! Would be curious to hear from you how it’s gone for you and the game on Steam since, if you’re able to share?

• Hi Chris - sure, per message on 20 March, I trigger the timers in the beginning of the game like this: (Image) However, perhaps I did something odd by re-triggering the already-running timer in a later scene with an ActionList item I left in durin…

  in Displaying Speedrun Timer question Comment by mikdog March 22
• I will mention though I currently can't seem to recreate this error when starting a new game in Unity Editor - the timer seems to save and load correctly with new saved and load games. I'll try find out with further testing where it possibly broke, …

• Hi Chris, thanks. Yes, I'm displaying the timers as labels in two locations, once during character dialogue, and later during the credits in an empty NPC's dialogue: (Image) I linked the timer to a global variable and yes, when I load the saved…

• Hi Chris, thanks. It's AC 1.82.2 For some more clarity, the timers work fine when someone plays the game from start to finish in one go, but when loading a saved game, seems like the timer resets and plays from zero. Here's the timer info I found …

• Hi Chris, hope all well. I think I discovered something - when saving and loading a game, the timer I think (that was started in an earlier scene) I don't think continues running. May I ask if there's a way to keep timers running after loading a gam…

• Hi @Kinteros , hope all well. Thanks for sharing your workings. May I ask how you used the script, please? ie, was it attached to a blank gameobject within a scene, and if so, did you create new gameobjects with the script in each scene you wanted t…

• Thanks Chris, that does the job really nicely. I asked Claude to tweak it a bit for me so I could have different PreFab dust animations for both running and walking, and also added an offset to correctly place it: using UnityEngine;using AC;public …

• Hi Chris, super, thank you. May I ask please if there a way to make it so the dust puffs only trigger when the character's running? I don't have a unique running animation, the character just moves quicker.

• Thanks for the comment! It’s a good idea, I also sometimes use a blank png / blank animation to essentially get rid of something. My concern is more that the character walks around a scene for 30 seconds and spawns like, 1000 little dust animation p…

• Thanks Chris, will try the animator prefab method. Ignorant question - what’s a good way to spawn in that prefab, please? I’m thinking maybe I could add animation events for each step, and then somehow (maybe with custom scripting) spawn in a prefab…

• Having mixed results with AI making scripts. Is there a simple/performant way to do this, please? (Image) I'm kind of getting there with AI slowly but there always seems to be some caveat downside. Just want a short couple-frame animation to play …

• The Claude script is actually working pretty well for me. Tweaked it so I only get the particles (which is a basic sprite animation) playing when the player moves over a certain speed. I don't think what I ended up with needed to be particles, but a…

• I got Claude.ai to write me a script: https://pastebin.com/VXnBSveU which surprisingly does kind of work (I don't really understand it, but it works), made a separate Particle system then attached this script to the player and dragged the particle s…

• Thank you Chris. I decided to remove the click, was getting a bit much, but nice to know how to do it if I ever wanted to again.

  in Adding a default 'click on hotspot' sfx Comment by mikdog March 8
• Hi Chris - I'm trying to do this, along with the script you made. I can get the particles to turn on when the player starts walking (I have the particle system as well as the script on the sprite object of the player, as that has the animator on it)…

• Well done! Having never done it myself, I think even getting any project onto Steam is an accomplishment!

• Hi Chris, thank you, that would be fantastic. Will back up and update when ready, and/or start a new project and add the template to try and learn from and reconstruct it (have found deconstructing the demo projects very useful). As always, so very …
