For now, testing out features and showing they work, once it's complete,
i'll make actual full game scenes.​

Awesome! With which Systems/Lightguns is this compatible?

 

My system should work across all platforms, utilizing motion controllers those that have them, in place of lightguns if not present.

It would be nice if it could be compatible with most light guns but some of them use different setups/systems, so i'll need to do thorough testing before giving a specific list.

 

Good job!

 

How about Sinden Lightgun? https://www.sindenlightgun.com

 

Considering it

 

Let me know when this available on the asset store.

 

Hey guys! Dropping a little update ^_^

As the system is mostly complete i'm starting to make a game with it to show off it's capabilities, here's the main menu example for SECTOR 14!

Spoiler: Main Menu Example #1

 

In this video I go over the Decal Set extension for the Arcade Light Gun Shooter system, showing off how easy it is to get your game world setup and interactive!

Spoiler: Decal Set

 

In this video I go over the Decal Assign (previously "Decal Set") extension for the Arcade Light Gun Shooter system, showing off how easy it is to get your game world setup and interactive!

With the changes from Decal Set to Decal Assign comes a whole new UI and some other features

Spoiler: Decal Assign

 

Here are a few short time-lapse videos showing me setting up and working on various things for the first few areas for Sector 14 (Light Gun Shooter)

Working on:
- Level Design
- Lighting
- Decal Controllers (For decal and impact display)
- Reflection Probes
- Light Probes

Spoiler: Timelapse #1

Spoiler: Timelapse #2

Spoiler: Timelapse #3

 

You nailed the camera motion. Very cool. I'm too busy for this but I save it in favorites.

 

Glad you like!

 

Looks really cool!

 

May be for player you could also add cover feature, similar to time crisis, or option for cover to reload.

May be already implemented or can be done with existing features, but I think it would be worth testing a shoot while move. Like you advance trough a predefined path looking this or other way without stopping. Like not for whole game but for a section could be interesting.

For gamepad may be some easing may be needed.

I think is a good idea you make game first because with all the asset flippers out there gonna leave you without a chance

 

I'll consider it but those kind of additions probably won't come until a later release, as the initial design is made to replicate games like virtua cop and area 51

 

Looks really Awesome, brought back old memories

If you are looking to release your work as a template on the Unity Store, you should do it with bare graphics just showcasing the functionalities.Rest depends upon the skills of the developer how they make use of the kit

 

Glad you like!

Yea i'll of course include a few demo scenes in the asset pack that will be bare bones, however for demonstration and development purposes, i'm using a more complete setup/display to give a better impression of what you can actually do with the system.

 

In this video I go over the Ragdoll Creator extension for the Arcade Light Gun Shooter system, showing off how easy it is to setup your humanoid objects and make them interactive!

Spoiler: Ragdoll Creator

 

In this video I show off some of the newly added systems, enemies, trigger points and mini cutscenes that will show as you progress through the stage.

Hey @dizzymediainc bit of a question or two -

1. What versions of Unity will this work with?
2. How much will it cost?

 

The current lowest version will be Unity 2018.3.6 but once it's near complete i will test for lower versions.

The actual cost is not set as of yet as the system is not yet complete.

 

Understandable

 

Hey @dizzymediainc what ever happened to this?

 

Same, Very interested! @dizzymediainc i would love to play around with it

 

hello @dizzymediainc any chance of finishing this?

 

@HeadClot88 @wraithsnow1 @Nezmo It's on the back burner as i have a bunch of other assets i've been working on, i should have 6 new asset packs up on the store in the next month or two (due to the lengthy review time for the asset store), all are currently pending review.

I'll come back to it and finish it off in the future

 

very nice topic, i am as well interessted in the progress. greetings

 

Hoping to see you back soon! I'm excited to see the release of this!
I've tried building similar systems in the past but I'm an amateur and it's very difficult. I'd be excited to use your kit once complete!

 

Looking forward to this!
