One Year of Unity Game Development!

- One year and three months ago, I started developing a medieval physics puzzle game with Unity. Here is my game development progress.

I've been making games for over 5 years, and have had fun the whole way. I started with a game engine called Corona SDK, that would let you build 2D games for mobile devices. Wanting to upgrade to 3D, I started learning Unity. So I began work on a procedural space exploration game, which turned out to be fairly large in scope, and I quit after 9 months of development. After that, I took a small break from game dev, but eventually picked it back up and made a few smaller unity games.
This brings us to last March, when I was ready to start a larger game. I wanted it to involve trebuchets, and I love sandbox games, so I eventually settled on a 2D physics sandbox game where you build siege engines to complete various tasks. Early development focused on making the building system easy and intuitive to use.
As development progressed I ran into problems: the building system is more complicated than expected, the objectives are too complex or not expandable enough, graphics are holding the game back. I try to solve these problems, some of which I'm still working on.
Today the gameplay is centered around transporting a ragdoll foot soldier to the flag. You must build siege engines, machines, vehicles, etc. to successfully get him to his goal. I'm getting so close to a playable version of the game that can be released as a demo. It still needs some things, like sound effects, menu screens, and bug fixes, so I'm really working hard to get this into the hands of players. This would be the best way to gain feedback and improve the game.

That Corona SDK did not age well
lol
it turned into a virus
YES! I found the joke i was looking for :D
Ivan The evil: *CHILL BOY! CHILL!*
@@vesijohtovesi lol same
so corona was programmed
This whole pandemic was scripted
Hahahahhaa
Hahaha
Proof we are all in a simulation
well, it is a *virus*
5:13 everybody gangsta till siege weapons start doing stunts
True
It's prophetic. Corona can only be defeated by Unity.
Underrated comment
time to make a vaccine in unity
We must unite to defeat the virus
XD
Yes we need to youse Unity
I imagine the Corona engine isn’t very popular right now.
lol your right. Also they're actually shutting down soon
@@SamHogan how did you learn to use unity, I've only learned how to use construct 2, an engine similar to sketch but more powerful and usable for more than a prototype. PS:sorry for bad English
just because of a name..... **sigh** humanity.....
@@hoodie_playsyt2827 lol i think they have bigger reasons to shut down than a name, probably lack of sales
@@paolobaldini735 Learn the basics of C# (Propertys, Methods, Functions, Events, Variable Types etc. ) and how to properly work with Visual Studio. Then start with unity.

that is so me

Yep
Same
I love how in the coding world, there are people that like coding, and then people that say: hey, dont do coding, or dont use unity
@@KU-sx4um I just think it’s boring ahahah
Ok well theres pros and cons for everything and some people like one way more than the other just because
Coding is actually kinda fun in my opinion because it really adds a lot to the games
i literally code in text based scratch :laughing_emoji:
coding is really the only way to get the game the way you want it,you have absolute control over it.
Lol, love the ambition of going from the 2d tricycle on a platform to coding the entire universe. Thanks for the vid, helpful as I work on my own game dev journey!
“But it’s not really a game yet because there’s still no objective.”
That doesn’t stop viral mobile game creators.
Exactly !

Hey someone know what happened to the game?
“Corona.sdk”
me: ok ima make a coronavi-

FINALY A COMMENT THAT ISN'T ABOUT THAT
That is the Funniest thing I heard all day
Soup
Stops using corona
Corona: *Attack the entire world!!!*
Can’t wait to see this turned into a full fledged purchasable game :D also the corona engine probably isn’t very popular as of late.
Everyone going to the comments section to make a joke about the Corona SDK
yup lol
Yes
Jea boiiiiiii
Even though coronavirus was founded at 1960 ;P
@@darknesscovered8196 it was?
As soon as I heard him say Corona I knew the comments were gonna be filled with coronavirus jokes
Ikr, it's just a name.
Lol saaaaaaaaame
Same and that's why I am here
Yeah they all suck
Well that is what happened
**sees Corona**
oh no-
wait everyones already typed that-
Oh no-
I know I’m late, I’m excited to watch any more updates you put out about your game. Could I suggest for dragging objects that clicking it once will move only the singular piece but double clicking will move everything it’s attached to
Sam: *stops using corona
Corona: I will be the end of humanity
Corona is Sam Hogan's ex who attacks others to try to get his attention

OMG WHATTT ??? YOU MADE SUPER UNICYCLE ??? OMG
All my familly was playing this game a lot, we were all tryharding, i even got 1st place on the game center leaderboard!! This is one of the best game i've ever seen!!! I subbed to you 2 hours ago and now I see you made this game I've been playing for years.
I'm so shocked, I love this game so much, with all my family and friends we played a lot on it, you created a game that accompanied me during my childhood, I'm so gratefull!
You really made Super Unicycle, I can't believe this... 😍😍😍
I really played super unicycle thousands of hours when i was younger, i'm 18 now, you are clearly the best, ily so much for making this
Thanks so much for playing it!
Sam Hogan It must be strange to think that a game that you developed at your beginnings has been played by my whole family for years, we love it so much! Good luck, you do a really good job and make me want to work hard in the creation of video games 😁😁 (sorry for my bad english I’m french)
That is really amazing to hear! Good luck!
Very cool. Nice to see such long term passion! I'll check out unity at some point too :D.
I think when you move any connected object, everything connected to it should move too. Maybe objects that are embedded within each-other should act as though they are connected? Then you can just apply 2D-physics interactions to unconnected things. Maybe I'd have to play the demo first to see if that makes certain things impossible.
I guess you could allow players to select pairs of blocks, to set them to interact physically or not, and make this relation symmetric and transitive, so it doesn't break the laws of physics too badly.
thx for always making your games playable to us
Corona: I have the perfect name for this company
2020: think again
This is underrated than the other Corona jokes
Sad Corona Beer noises
@@zappyzebra3637 aw thanks :D
Sam: "Is not really a game yet beacuse there's still no objective"
Minecraft: *heavy breathing*
the end
Minecraft have objective + free play (borderless)
And it have too many theories
@@borisvolski pretty sure you're talking about the non-existent version of Minecraft.
@@doak_ ?
@@mammutbrot9230 "Minecraft have objective + free play (borderless)

that is not how minecraft works
Here’s an idea to add more: make a few set levels, and after the player finsishes those they can create their own level or maybe get a randomly generated one? Something that could make it more interesting is a limited number of objects.
At first, when I saw your project, I thought that it looked like sh*t, but then I saw what fun you did and constructed in the game. So now you earned a subscriber.
me: sees *’Corona’*
also me: *zoom to the comment section then back up because it got moved on mobile*
lol XD

What about on tablets XD
well i don’t have a tablet so idk
@@LocalUltrakillEnjoyer there is a right panel with vids and you can scroll down there
So you created No Man's Sky in 7 months. Impressive! Way faster than the original studio.
I think you are using internet explorer sir...
yeah sir...
@@user-ez1qt7qz9h What do you mean? That the original video is old?
@@redyau_ have you seen where no man sky is today.... Looks nothing like that
@@redyau_ yeah it actually delivered on its promises. took some time but a lot of people in the game community hand it to them since if it was Unisoft or EA they'd have abandoned the project and refused every refund lol
I offer my respect
i love your videos when you make games you learning me how to make games so i can make games in the futur
Everyone making jokes about coronavirus, but did anyone notice the presence of the powerful, and unbeatable black knight at 3:52 ?
'Tis but a scratch!
Good one XD
Yes I did
yes
Of course we did, I’m surprised you even pointed it out. No one can ignore the Unbeatable Black Knight
I see many people making corona jokes but will nobody mention that this is literally just medieval angry birds with the same focus as Bad Piggies?
hmm yes because in angry birds you build the slingshot
Joshua Walker go to hell
Sorry, but I think you should probably say that it’s an opinion
Joshua Walker yo calm down bro
because everyone is obessed with sharing their super incredible high iq rick and morty jokes that only true keanu epic baby yoda redditors can understand
That legit looks good my man
For the issue with moving connected wood beams,I would recommend maybe a different button being held down to move both or one of them,this could be shown by a simple tooltip or obvious enough that it is easy to figure out
Everyone: talking about the corona
Me: you gonna talk about that kid getting launched out of a catapult at 1:46
Did you just compare trebuchets to catapults? You godless heathen
Doctor of Skillz did you spell skills with a z you godless heathen
@@Calcifer111 bruh who cares, we got a person who cant tell the difference between a catapult and a trebuchet
@@doctorofskillz2932 I still think the most imperative issue is the fact that we have a vault survivor hitting the kiddie pool using his power armour to do a "totally not practical" super hero landing. And yes, I just referenced Fallout and Deadpool in the same comment. Very epic

Thanks! And yeah, that game's awesome
First!
Great video Sam and you've certainly come a long way on your game over the past year!
It's very inspirational for me to see fellow devs stick it out for so long, I only hope I can do the same!
Keep it up mate!
I appreciate it! I honestly never thought I'd be working on it this long, but it's been a pretty good experience working on a "large" project.
And it's totally achievable, as long as you're having fun and keep a little determination!

Animationish this comment was made 2 months ago, it probably was different
@@lordspotato5032 No, no because there could have only been less comments 2 months ago. Meaning that it would have been a higher percentage. And I'm pretty sure that's how statistics work.
quite honestly, nobody cares
Birdboi uwu lol there was absolutely no reason for you to comment that. Idk about anyone else but when people go out of their way to be rude I just find that so annoying-
Ooooh. Corona sounds really good
Wow, AUG looks really cool despite you not finishing. Awesome Video! It was very well put together with the transitions and graphics. Your game has come a long way, and I can't wait to see it go even further!
Thanks! Glad you liked it, and maybe I'll revisit AUG at some point, who knows
What a fine journey, glad I've found your channel :)
"Just a flesh wound."

Good to see some love for vectors.

Really inspiring video! Sometimes the project doesn't work well as we expect. But it will still bring a lot of value for our next project. Enjoy your journey man. :)
Thanks man and absolutely! It's always a learning process, and none of my unity projects would exist without giving up on that first one
That video is awesome! Really good editing and also soo nice to see how much progress you made in this year! :)
Yes, to make graphics is always a hard and time consuming work :p
Thanks man! It's been a lot of fun. And, yeah, definitely time consuming, would be great to work with an artist someday
That looks like a lot of fun to me.
This looks Heller fun
Everyone: Notices Corona SDK. Comment section: Why did you do this to me!?
This editing is really amazing man, the soldier idea was really nice as well.
Thanks so much!
Small channels are always more creative!
Soon to be 2 years congrats
Great concept for a game.
Very interesting video, it's a lot of fun to see such video's from time to time!
Thanks for watching!
Sam Hogan wow you sayed the corono word
Everybody gangsta until Corona SDK changes their name to Ebola SDK to avoid association with the coronavirus
I'm an app developer (noob) but still love to watch your videos, don't understand everything you do but do understand exactly what you're doing/idea.
Cool content buddy.
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳❤️
Honestly, leaving in the "no objective sand box" is a cool idea, as like, a seperate game mode. I also thing different objects should "cost" a currency, using that as either a score system (less=better) or as an actual currency, being at the end of each level you get paid a certain amount, that adds to your bank, where you can spend it in future levels, replay old ones to get money if you perhaps run low.
“Carona”
Everyone: that’s gotta suck
Yeah it’s not even spelt right!
corona*
Me: is about to tell a Corona SDK joke
Other People: *Allow us to introduce ourselves*
XD
5:15 that catapult or whatever did a literal front flip!
This is very inspiring. Thank you!!!
Also, will this be available on android?
The Graphics are a challenge for programmer, we like fix all with Code. I like basketball too!🏀
Exactly! I spend so much time just redoing and tweaking graphics. I should take an art class or something
As an indie dev you gotta be a jack of all trades to say
Ikr
this was one year ago, and there is still a thing called "corona"
You really should make that space game, it would be really cool
That multiplayer trebuchet battle actually sounds really fun.
I think that the levels where you have to destroy other armies would be really cool
Idea: Custom Level Making for Players
That should be rly ez for him ngl
Happy wheels vibes
@@iruXshi why?
I like how he just made crush the castle but add a building mechanic to the trebuchet
