"Moving the player with a controller isn't hard moving the player on a platform isn't hard," says Kyle Donnelly, a programmer at Land of Screens and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus studio and publisher Serenity Forge.
"This is sort of like a situation when two opposing forces come against each other, immovable object vs. "One of the bugs I had was when a walker was trying to get through the door at the same time that a player was trying to open it," said Bill Ferrer, Skydance senior AI gameplay engineer. Fortunately, they were able to turn a challenging collision problem into a fun new feature: The team at Skydance Interactive, behind The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, ran into a similar problem as the one Gardner describes, but again with doors, and in a VR game no less. "None of this is even getting into handling the doors and what happens when those open and close and trap the player or other objects in the doorway." Even then, the player is used to having things respond nearly instantly, so there's a good chance they'll get frustrated and call the thing broken. Suddenly you have to feed back that the elevator is busy. Now let's say you decide to get off on the second floor, then jump down and hit the call button again. "Then, if the elevator can take you to multiple floors, you have to feed back when an elevator is 'busy' or allow it to queue up floors to stop on. Well, how then do they avoid looking dumb as soon as you cross the threshold inside the elevator? They'll either stand there, or need some sort of custom behavior. "So let's say you try to solve the AI issue by excluding them from elevators. It's an invitation to make your enemies or companions look dumb, for physics objects to go flying, or for quest items to get stuck. By calling the elevator, you open the opportunity for the player, objects, or AI to wander underneath it and get squished or trapped. "First off, you have to summon via a button or whatever. Bill Gardner, creative director of The Deep End Games and lead level designer on BioShock and BioShock Infinite, explained the elevator problem as follows: Multiple developers told me about the frustrations of elevators, whether they're taking players up a single floor in a building or serving as pseudo-loading screens between two major game areas. Getting from place to placeĪs the original topic of game development headaches focused on doors, it made sense that many of the developers I spoke to had issues with other methods used to connect a person from one place to another.įor instance, elevators. So if you've ever wondered why the maker of your favorite game didn't simply fix one of the myriad issues developers mentioned below, here's why those seemingly simple problems are hardly simple at all.
Many noted that they’ve received angry player feedback about the topics they mentioned, with their audiences asking, "Why don't you just do X?" The answer is, almost always: because it's really, really hard. Those I spoke to described challenges in making games look and sound good, storytelling, movement and interaction with objects, menus, save systems, multiplayer, and all sorts of intricacies of design that are so rarely discussed outside of studios themselves. The png map file used by the particle or the built-in picture file in base64 format may have incorrect pre-multiplication information, causing the rendered particles to display the transparent area incorrectly.The pool of responses similarly included a number of varied problems, but also a number of similar issues popping up among many projects. In order to improve the efficiency of resource management, it is recommended that you import plist and png (if you have a map) file in a separate directory, do not mix with other resources. Note: the import of the sourcePosition property in the. Method 3: Add a ParticleSystem component to an existing node, and assign the particle assets from the Assets directly to the File property of the component. Method 2: Drag and drop particle assets from Assets directly into the Scene. Method 1: Drag and drop particle assets from Assets panel directly into the Node Tree panel. plist directly under the project resource directory.
