Looks amazing! Bringing back memories of Arkanoid! :D
-
Cool!
-
Thanks for the kind words guys! I put so much polish into this particular project that it feels a shame to not release a full game using it :P
Today by request, I went ahead and added cross-platform leaderboards using Dreamlo! It seems to be working quite well, you can compete for the high score in any of the available demos posted above.
As soon as the template gets accepted on the Asset store, I'm going to release the leaderboard update.
-
Hi,
Yeah, your game deserved being published for real! Makes me want to own it, just for the graphics and indeed the good old memory.
Well done again!
Bye,
Jean
-
Hi,
on webgl, I have a button on the top left corner that is slightly off:
(http://i.imgur.com/f89Nn1D.png)
and leaderBoard seems to not kick in ( I finished the game... :) )
Bye,
Jean
-
Thanks Jean! I actually fixed most of the remaining leaderboard bugs last night and made the overall user flow more friendly. You can change your name now! :P I just uploaded the latest demos.
Unfortunately your score never made it out of the WebGL player and into the leaderboard. You were playing on the Dropbox demo which is behind a secure https website. Sadly WebGL doesn't seem to be able to communicate with anything external unless it's behind an unsecured address or you allow the unsecured connection from your address bar. I am moving the demo to my website to fix that issue.
I have had many other issues while working with WebGL. Sound quality is much lower, graphics are not on par with other platforms, performance is lacking, it even stutters on my very capable pc hardware. Playing full screen does alleviate this slightly, but I don't think WebGL is ready for prime time yet. WebGL is the only platform with this strange stutter, I get better performance on my old iPad2 or Moto G. I highly recommend playing the webplayer demo if you are able, that represents the intended gameplay experience more accurately.
-
Hi,
Excellent, Thanks for your effort.
Webgl requires some serious graphics optimization if it's intended for a proper game, so yes, it's not a direct hit... I am well aware of the quality reduction, but still that was a quick way to play and all, and it was not affecting my game play, what did affect the gameplay is the mouse not working when outside the game view, that does affect the game play a lot. So maybe look for an option to use arrow keys or mouse in this situation.
Too bad, I am sure I was on top of the leaderboard... not.... ;D
I think you should publish to Apple store, Google store, Windows Store, just as a way to drive people into understanding that your project is a serious project, make it free, no ads, no nothing, just to show it's possible, I am sure it will play a big role in developers committing into purchasing this.
Bye,
Jean
-
Thanks for your advice Jean. I'll likely be reactivating my ios developers license to showcase demos like this.
The arrow keys would be an easy solution since the logic is already there for L/R thumb play on mobile. Will add this as an option when I implement menus.
-
Hi,
Yes, this will not only help you promote your set of starter kits, but also promote you as a developer full stop. And having apps on stores is going to put you one step ahead when publishers or clients will consider hiring you.
Bye,
Jean
-
The kit is now officially available on the Unity Asset Store!
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/64261 (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/64261)
The Dreamlo cross platform leaderboard addition has also been submitted for review. Should be live shortly.
-
I have some really great news! I think I've finally figured out what was causing the WebGL performance issues. If you try the WebGL demo (http://3dsauce.com/demos/webgl/breakout/demo.html) again, please report on your experience performance-wise. I will be submitting this fix in the next update.
In other news, version 1.4 is now live on the Asset Store. You will find lighting and shadow performance on older devices has been improved dramatically! This update also includes Dreamlo leaderboard integration as well as a number bug fixes and improvements.
-
Version 1.5 just went live on the Unity Asset Store.
Performance has been massively improved in WebGL builds!
-
I went ahead and submitted an update that includes a couple of the most requested features.
v1.6
- Added level selection menu.
- Added pause and resume functionality.
- Added per level leaderboards.
- Added Home, Retry and Next Level buttons to "game over" and "level completion" screens.
- Updated documentation.
The update should be live on the Asset Store soon, in the meantime you can try out the updated demo (http://3dsauce.com/demos/webgl/breakoutlevelselect/demo.html).
I really like where this is going, let me know what you think.

cool one

Man the game looks great and I like the upgraded style of game-play from the original. Keep up the good work and I am glad to see Playmaker bringing fun games to the table.

Don't tempt me! ;D
-
Hi,
I concur, you should release this as a real game. It's worse it, many times more than so much junk I see passing by the various mobile stores... it's untrue! So yes, what you did is totally valid. I must say it's probably the only breakout I wanted to finish!!!
AND You should then make it features in "Made with Unity", to get even more exposure.
Bye,
Jean
-
That is a great idea Jean!
If nobody beats me to it, I probably will do something with this when I get some free time. ::)
-
Hi,
yes.. getting the time is the trick here, I know the feeling!

how is your canvas the same size as the playfield?
... trying to add some custom button functionality from easy touch isn't working because the easy touch canvas is different...

I don't have easy touch, so I can't say what's different. You can check the Canvas Scaler component on the canvas itself and compare.
Also, there is no harm in using a second canvas for the controls if need be.

Hi, just a quick question regarding breakout pro. Is it physics based, or is the physics scripted in playmaker?
Thanks for your time
-
Hi, just a quick question regarding breakout pro. Is it physics based, or is the physics scripted in playmaker?
Thanks for your time
Breakout Pro is entirely physics based, however it does force certain interactions in order to get the desired behavior. For example, the paddle will not reflect the ball according to the balls trajectory, but rather according to the zone it lands on within the paddle.

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.

Hi
I am interested in turning your word game into a spelling game with text to speech capability.
Do you know what text to speech asset would work best with your wordgame?
the spelling game would require to listen words and to find them within the gride.
Henry
P.S. I am new to playmaker coming over from Construct 2.

Hi Henry,
I don't have any direct experience with text to speech plugins, but I have heard good things about "RT-Voice." It includes Playmaker actions according to the description, so this is probably a great place to start.
Keep in mind, there is no word finding algorithm built into my word game template, so you will have to create your letter tile layouts by hand, rather than randomly generating them.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,
Graham

The Unity 2018 / Playmaker 1.9.0 support update is available now on the Unity Asset Store! (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/64261?aid=1101lGst)
Installation issues have been resolved.
-
A small build issue has been brought to my attention which seems to be affecting the most recent versions of Unity 2018. While in the editor, bricks should break as expected, however upon building the project you may notice that bricks will no longer break.
I have a solution and will be releasing an update as soon as possible. In the meantime, I have attached simple instructions that you can follow to resolve the issue yourself. These steps will have to be performed on each scene.
1. Place the Bricks Level prefab inside the Bricks gameobject in your scene.
2. Access the Level Manager Fsm component of the “Panel_LevelManager” gameobject.
3. Disable the “Create Object” action found in the “Load Bricks” state.
4. Add a “Set Game Object” action and set the Variable dropdown to “levelPrefab” and drag your Level Frefab from the scene into the Game Object field.

Hi Valex,
You need to manually right click within your project tab inside of Unity, and choose "Import Package / Custom Package;" then browse to your project location and open the “IMPORT THIS After Playmaker.unitypackage.”
That should do the trick!
