New item pack is now available for free on the @AssetStore!

It contains many items commonly used in classic horror games. Check out Retro Horror Template while you're at it😊

I've decided to make this pack of PSX healing items free on the @AssetStore and @itchio. Perfect to be used with my Retro Horror Template! Just saying...

RTs appreciated!

@JensRestemeier I'm very tempted to create my own animation editor tool ngl. This is just insufferable at this point.

Exporting curves & events from Blender to Unity sounds quite useful too🤔

[Josué Candela @JosCanPer]

The year is 2023. People still edit animation events and curves in #unity3d by using this tiny timeline that has never changed, never worked correctly, and pales in comparison with Unreal's since time immemorial... sigh

[Josué Candela @JosCanPer]

Cool new features on 1.9: Tool inventory slot (flashlight), object pushing mechanic & pressure plates.

My #unity #ResidentEvil template getting closer and closer to the original thing😊

@davidkanc Looks good. Although the laser beam should stop at the sphere and not reach the character imo😁

[Josué Candela @JosCanPer]

@Cactuar18 I think they used a similar technique for RE HD

Nice to see this working with a real scene. This was an interesting challenge, supporting shadows and all.

Retro Horror Template finally supports pre-rendered backgrounds (builtin RP only for now)

[Josué Candela @JosCanPer]

@Cactuar18 The meshes are in the level for rendering depth at runtime, which means shadow maps also get rendered on it and can be sampled. The idea is to use lighter geo for this.

It also supports providing custom textures rendered externally ofc, which is what I did for the color

[Josué Candela @JosCanPer]

How are maps created in games?

In Retro Horror Template, I've opted to shape rooms directly on the scene view. These shapes are then put together as a final level layout on a specific custom tool

New update coming soon!

It's that time again!

Take a look at my #unity3d template for creating #psx #ResidentEvil kind of games.

Tons of features and an amazing Discord community of like-minded creators.

Check out this trailer!

Literally having a blast developing this plugin and building a community around it.

Next update includes item inspection. Looking forward to seeing what the users request next.

Nothing like blowing brains out in your own videogame. Shotgun & Assault rifle made it into the template last week.

Make your own classic horror game with my template.
