This tutorial will focus on explaining how 2D physics joints work in Unity and how to use them to achieve great effects (without sacrificing the game...

Unity is a well known, well documented, and very recognised game engine. It's a multi-platform solution, and it also allows you to create games or...

In the second part of this series we extend and improve the time-rewinding-system, make it more stable, and add a nice blurring effect to make the rewinding...

The art of optimizing your game can be done with a simple trick: using a Texture Atlas in order to reduce the draw calls. This will result in an optimization...

We'll take a look at how to build a game that features time-rewinding like it was used in Prince of Persia - Sands of Time, and the other surprising ways...

In this post, I'll share what I've learned about the best (and worst!) ways to let players enter text via gesture alone, and show you how to set up the Intel...

In this part of our series, we'll introduce a new mechanic to the character: ledge grabbing. We'll also make appropriate changes to both the pathfinding...

In this tutorial, we'll use the platformer pathfinding algorithm we've been building to power a bot that can follow the path by itself; just click on a...

In this tutorial, we'll extend our grid-based platformer pathfinder so that it can cope with characters that take up more than one cell of the grid.

In this short tutorial, we'll extend our platformer pathfinder so that it can deal with one-way platforms: blocks that the character can jump through and...

Now that we have a good idea of how to modify an A* pathfinding algorithm to work for platformers, it's time to actually code it. Rather than build it from...

There are plenty of uses for lightning effects in games, from background ambiance during a storm to the devastating lightning attacks of a sorcerer. In this...
