open-project-1 VS FPSSample

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.

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.

This isn't really a good excuse for why core features have been rewritten 4x without a production release and with no legacy version available for the latest engine.

You left out MLAPI from your link and the FPS Multiplayer Sample NetCode

> Uhhhh? The package is literally right there.

I mean actually release it in a way that's stable for teams working on a game. Not "This package is available as a preview, so it is not ready for production use."

The current roadmap plan is for Netcode for ECS to reach production way after Netcode for GameObjects.

Bolt is not Unity Visual Scripting. It's extremely similar but that only makes it more confusing. Bolt is a separate asset which is still maintained, the last update was a month ago.

> develop a "vnext" tool while still supporting a "legacy" tool

Except their only production level multiplayer library, UNet is not supported anymore. There is no official way to make multiplayer Unity games right now that isn't a preview package or deprecated.
