"Dynamic Elements" RPG effect pack

I can't be sure because i didn't checked it personally, but one reviewer on the assetstore stated that the effects work on iPhone.

There is also a demo effect here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6602349/DE_Demo/NightmareVomit.unitypackage

If this works on iPhone, probably every one works.

Please be careful that the fillrate is rather slow on these devices, so particles that are close to the camera make the whole game a lot slower than particles that are far from the camera, even if the same number of particles is present.

 

Sounds like you knew what you were getting into. What are you talking about with that second sentence? If you paid for unique ones, why would they be sold too? The fact is, from the sound of it, Kalamona made it very clear that for $250 he would make you an effects package with no exclusivity.

How does that make them unusable, anyway? I've played tons of professional games where I noticed the assets. Hell, Batman Arkham Asylum is practically an advertisement for CGTextures.com. And don't even talk to me about sound effects. The fact of the matter is: 95% of people who buy this pack won't finish a game, and 99% of the audience would never notice that they were in multiple games anyway.

A healing effect is a healing effect, and a blood splatter is a blood splatter. Only other artists and game devs are going to point inane crap like that out.

If it's any consolation, I paid 3DRT $600 to make the peasants and warriors, and now other people can buy them for $150. But I knew that going into it, and I don't regret it.

 

The effects are fantastic, I really like your art style and approach.
How would you feel about creating more projectile stuff, like a fireball, magic missile...that sort of thing?

 

Agreed .... more projectiles would be great.

 

theres a $2 asset on the asset store that has some projectiles including a fireball. i think its called 7 simple magic effects.

 

I think I already have that one. I'm doing a mage-focussed rpg so the more spell effects I can get the better.

 

Hi Kalamona,

I was wondering if it was possible to scale these effects since the default scale may not be for everyone.

Thanks,

El Diablo

 

Hey,
The default scale is what i consider "realistic" (as realistic magic can be ), the character in the demo is 2m tall.

About your question:
Sadly Unity does not scale particle systems well. There might be a scaling on them, but it does not affect the particles themselves. So there is no quick way to do it.

A longer way:
I made a script (comes with the pack) called ParticleScaling or something similar, you can attach that script to a particle system, and add a scale number to it. 1.00 is no change, 0.5 is 50%, 2.00 is 200%. However it has to be added to each particle system individually. An effect usually consists 3-10 particle systems. This script is very primitive, basically changes the particle's parameters when running.

Now this script scales the particle systems only, but not the effect itself. What is the difference? For example if there is an acid rain effect, it will scale down the particles, the acid rain will look smaller, but it will be still above the ground by the exact amount it was above it previously, which is probably not what you wanted. So you might need to tinker more with the effects.

So using the script and a bit more manual help it is doable, but not very easy.

 

Hey Kalamona!

I just used some of the effects from your asset package in my first Android app release "Ab Attack FREE (Gyro Enhanced)"
I posted the info in this thread.

Thanks!!!

 

I am glad you liked it!

Also you probably meant this forum:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/137008-Ab-Attack-FREE-(Gyro-Enhanced)?highlight=Attack+FREE

(the one you linked is a wish forum for a rigidbody center, or something similar)

 

Kalamona - do you have another effect pack in the works? Love you stuff, would like to see more of it.

 

I did an exclusive effect pack to a company not long ago, using Shuriken, under very short deadlines. So right now I am a bit burned out of particles, and I do models and animations instead.

I am thinking about a new "magical projectiles" style effect pack, you know - fireball, acid missile, icy missile and so on. I am greatly inspired by Diablo III, the effects there are really great. Blizz artists know something . But that might come a bit later.

I was thinking about a sci-fi effects collection pack too (thrusters, lasers, plasma, energy shields, etc), but fantasy seems to sell so much better.

 

I would love to see a fantasy projectile pack ... would defenitely buy it.

 

I'd love to see both - Sci Fi and Fantasy projectiles.

 

I began working on a new effect pack, this time using Shuriken. If you want to influence me during effect creation, here is the topic.

 

This is a fantastic pack, but I'm getting errors in the 4.0 beta:

Assets/09 Asset Store packages/DynamicElements_Effects/scripts/ParticleWindow.js(33,64): BCE0019: 'transform' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Object'.

Assets/09 Asset Store packages/DynamicElements_Effects/scripts/ParticleWindow.js(51,41): BCE0019: 'transform' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Object'.

Is there a fix available?

 

Hey,
Sorry about that, I have no idea (I don't have unity4 yet). The sript is responsible for the scaling of the effects, so if you don't want to scale it, it probably won't be a problem.

I will test it out soon.
cheers
Kalamona

 

This was without any scaling (without any prefabs in the hierarchy, in fact---the mere presence of the scripts in the project caused the compiler errors.

But I purchased your Shuriken Magic and am using it now--gorgeous effects, and works great on 4.0.

 

I'm getting this error as well in Unity 4. Can I just delete this script?

 

Yes, it is just a tool to being able to resize the particles, but there are far better solutions to that in the asset store. The script is also removed from the latest assetstore version of the effect pack.

 

helly kalamona , i am working on a game and would love to buy your effect pack but the problem is that you links to the unity store are not working. Also can you like me to your pacakages ? Thanks
