open-project-1 VS Aetheria-Economy

I wish they'd go the way of Epic and make an actual game with their engine. They've tried a few times and given up each time. It's pretty embarrassing when they've done things like released a fully featured multiplayer FPS demo that doesn't actually work out of the box and has a custom editor tool manager, custom scene loader, and custom networking layer that were never merged into mainline unity. Meanwhile they still have no official stable networking module. The old functional one was sunset and the new ones are still in beta.

> This project is based on Unity 2018.3

> NOTE: Due to a bug in Unity 2018.3, you have to take the following step right after the initial import: 1 Search for Firstperson_Projection in the Project search field. Select the 4 shaders, right click and reimport them. 2 If you have script compile errors related to entities, you need to remove and re-install the entities package.

> One day soon we will remove this note and there will be cake.

> Once the editor is ready, open the Project Tools Window by navigating to FPS Sample > Windows > Project tools.

> Keep this window docked as you will use it a lot. From here you can open the levels, build assetbundles and build standalone players.

> Note: As of December 2021, Open Projects and Chop Chop are not in development anymore.

Unity has some official open source games https://github.com/UnityTechnologies Chop Chop is one of the best. https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/open-project-1

Additive scenes are great but a bit more advanced. Moving your player to the right location after changing scenes is something you will need to solve regardless of using a single scene or additive scene structure. That said for the "transfer" you can have your player in its own player scene (another additive scene) or the base scene and just move the position. Instead of trying to have a reference to everything you should be using events, it is more performant, and there is no need to have a reference there for you do not need to drag and drop between scenes. Here is a project where you can reference a scriptable object event system that has no issues working across scenes: https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/open-project-1/tree/main/UOP1_Project/Assets/Scripts/Events

The fantastic UOP1 project has great examples of this using scriptable objects as event channels to communicate between a persistent managers scene and the current gameplay scene.

For starters, it might be worth checking out the Scriptable Object demo project and the videos on youtube that deal with it. https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/open-project-1

And for anyone else looking for real-world examples: this repo is interesting: https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/open-project-1

I didn't use any particular tutorial for my save system but Unity actually developed a community based Open Project a year or so ago. Their save system is probably a good reference to get something started. They have a few other systems implemented in that project as well that you might find useful, although personally I didn't love how much they used scriptableobjects for their event system.

Hi, so apparently some people (including me) after downloading zip containing unity open project 1 from it's github page had problems with unpacking it. The (one of the possible) solution(s) was downloading it using github desktop - which is quite unpractical since if you lost internet connection during the process you have to re - download the entire project. So if you want to download it, you can use this google drive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1o5Db5fI9HHD3T8wv2C7PlDV1pu8unma1?usp=sharing

When you download the Unity Hub, it will have a learn tab. Selecting that you can download sample games that will show how Unity works. Besides that Unity has an Opensource project this was canceled after the community dried up around it.

What might work well for you is taking apart one of the example projects, add new features or just mess with existing systems. For Unity there's https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/open-project-1 for example.

The required driver script will be helpful in figuring out what it's doing. Happy spelunking!

We had a bit of a hiatus after it became clear that we'd never get a publisher deal since the game is open source, and we're now pivoting into a narrative-focused vertical slice "demo", which we're hoping we can use to grow an audience and crowdfund.

The license you purchase on the asset store to use those assets does not permit you to redistribute them. This means that you need to approach the creators individually and acquire special permission to include their asset in your repo, even if you're not relicensing it. Very few asset store devs will agree to this, I can tell you from experience.

Here's ours.

The game is open source, so if you're up to it you can check out the code for it in the meanwhile here. It's not exactly plug and play, though!

I'm using dual serialization for the heavily polymorphic data structures in my game - MessagePack with integer keys and union polymorphism for the wire format and local storage, and Json.NET with string keys and JsonKnownTypes polymorphism for debug output and long term persistence in RethinkDB. Here's what one of my simpler polymorphic data structures looks like. Lots of attributes but that's the price you pay I guess.

Our project could certainly use some more code hands on deck! There's 8 of us so far, and we're building a rogue-lite third person space shooter with a story centered around a time loop. Here's a trailer. Here's our Github (it's open source!). Here's our Discord. I'm PixelBro#3202 btw.

If you're using Unity I'd like to recommend my open source game as a potential study candidate. Here's the repo, trailer of the game and a pitch deck if you wanna know more.

By the way, Aetheria: Terminus is an open source project! You can find the code for the galaxy generation right here.

Meanwhile my whole studio is developing our (unique and amazing) game completely open source, and I'm still not worried in the slightest about IP theft. Anyone with the ability to comprehend our codebase has much better things to do than "steal" our ideas, and mechanics aren't copyrightable anyway.
