It's an exciting and proud moment for me personally to see the latest TDTK (v2.2.2) went online. The big difference between this and all the previous update is that this update has emphasize more on addition of art asset. I've never keen to say this, but a nice graphic does make a big different. Now the demo feels more like a game than a simple prototype, in relatively term of course. It's still far from polished.
Now included in TDTK are three modular asset package I made, all which can be obtained from Unity AssetStore without TDTK. They are:
 |
| Modular Sci-fi Turret Set - link to AssetStore |
 |
| Modular Sci-fi Tank Set- link to AssetStore |
 |
| Modular Sci-fi Freight Set- Link to AssetStore |
All the example has been remade with the new asset. I hope even for user who are not big on using generic asset, they still provide a decent examples. With that said, the demo has been updated as well. Feel free to check it out! Some of the level are not that balance, they can be a bit too easy/challenging. But they are afterall feature demo for TDTK, not TDTK the game.
I do love to add make more of this modular asset to complete the set. Building and background props comes into mind when I think of it. But I've many ideas that I like to play with as well, score-board, additional game mode. Well, we shall see.
Following is the update log of v2.2.2:

Wow, love the three packages. Anyhow, there is a big question I want to ask. Will there be an update that adds controller-support? As the Android kit is now fully free, and there is a movement towards Android Consoles (Ouya, Gamestick) this would be a nice add-on One Id pay a few bucks for too.
ReplyDeleteI have no plan for that if I'm honest. I have ported the control for Ouya controller before for a specific contract work. But it's a different story to port the control to fit a specific design and to port the control so that it support all the features in TDTK. Considering the fact that unlike mouse, a controller has so many buttons. To fit in the current framework, it's only right that each button can be customize to do a certain function. And to enable that facility would be quite some task. Hence I'm not very keen. Sorry if that dissapoint you.
DeleteDoesn't dissapoint me that much. Just thought it would be a great add-on to the tdtk. But I get that the whole system is build around mouse control and that it would be a freaking lot of work makes sense. And with all the Models you added to the kit you don't really have to be sorry :)
DeleteIt was more or less a question about if there is something planned. And it's not, so everything is fine. :)
