Title: Game testing during development[SOLVED]
Post by: harribionic on July 01, 2013, 12:53:18 PM

Hi all,


noob question

This may seem like a daft question, but is it possible to jump to particular parts of a game that i'm developing so that I wouldn't have to keep playing through from the beginning?

Is it dependent on how I code the game?

I know games should be thoroughly tested but say in an adventure style game, which has a storyline, some way I can start from a particular point to try it out?

Any pointers / help much appreciated

Stu

Just move the character where you want?

Yeah, wish it was that simple. The player goes through various tasks and scenarios which are dependent on various stuff happening. ie: get an object for a character that brings in another character that holds an object... etc

Hi,

 yes, this is something you will have to implement in your game logic. because your game state is unique to your implementation, it's difficult to do otherwise.

 now, you can also work with unity serializer maybe, and save your game this way and reload it. you will also likely modify your game implementation but that is for sure a good approach all around.
