BUILD! Improved conveyance, added challenges


Updates updates updates!

  • Matter now supports Linux and MacOS with M1 chips!: I had several issues trying to compile to Linux, this was on Unity 2019.2, I'm not sure why I couldn't ever fix this issue, but updating Unity worked, and this update also brought some other good stuff that helped me
  • UPDATED TO UNITY 2020.2: With this update, it carries updated Unity packages and faster build times, this also gives back a feature that was gone with the 2d rendered: Camera Stacking! Now I can use cameras for different purposes rather than only rendering the scene, which made me easy to fix the following issue:
  • Fixed the hexagonal grid for matter: Now the matter hexagonal grid can be displayed in the whole screen without being blocked or occluded by any element in the game
  • Improved hex grid assets: Taking into advantage that I fixed the hex grid issue, I took the time to make some adjustments to the PNG files that show the hex grid, so now this UI element is more noticeable and it helps better to the player to shoot matter correctly
  • Added challenges: To get clear: I still didn't add the improvements I was speaking in the last devlog about refactoring level 3, however I made it to begin easier to try to smooth a bit more the transition to harder challenges, also I made the last challenge more achievable for a demo level. Also level 2 is a bit more easier and it makes more sense to explore and go upstairs, let's see if this idea makes sense or if I have go guide the players with camera movements
  • Minor bugfixes: Fixed some minor depth issues with elements and lights on level 2

Now there is a bug that is bothering me too much and its new from this upgrade to 2020.2: The lights that have fog (volume lighting) are not being rendered correctly, sometimes they disappear and appear again without anything noticeable that could give me a clue about why that started happening. Fixing this would take longer and only happens in level 2 (it might be happening in level 4 as well)

I invite you to play! Give Matter a try, if you are a hardcore platformer player, I know you'll enjoy this game.
