Huge thanks to everyone who has made this kit such a success!

I would like to know if there is enough interest to make converting the entire legacy kit to the newer uGUI worthwhile. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Quick update guys. If you are using more than one scene in your word game, you are going to run into a serious game breaking issue. Upon loading a second puzzle scene, you'll notice the following error message in your console;

"MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'Transform' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.
Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object."

You'll then notice that all of your HOTweens are broken. It appears that HOTweens stay in memory when changing scenes, and this can cause all sorts of problems.

Luckily, there is an extremely simple fix for anyone who experiences this. Simply use a "Hotween Kill" action before each load level action.

IMPORTANT information regarding all 3D Sauce templates!

If anyone is running into FSM or build errors, there are a few simple steps to follow that will remedy these issues until I've had time to update the packages.

Simply open all affected scenes and re-save them individually. This should fix any issues you are experiencing after updating to the latest version of any 3D Sauce template and Playmaker.

Thanks for you patience. Please don't hesitate to report any additional issues that may arise.

The Unity 2018 / Playmaker 1.9.0 support update is available now on the Unity Asset Store! (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/28248?aid=1101lGst)

Installation issues have been resolved.

Unfortunately, due to recent changes in Playmaker and the deprecation of certain features in newer versions of Unity, Word Game Kit cannot immediately be updated for compatibility with Unity 2020.

Until we have a chance to rebuild the template from scratch, if you wish to use Word Game you will have to stick with Unity 2018.4.36 and Playmaker v1.9.0.p20. Word Game will remain available for those who wish to learn from it in the meantime, but please be aware of these limitations.
