Архитектура диалоговой системы в Unity

Когда я начинал разработку своей игры, то не смог найти каких-то внятных гайдов с описанием архитектуры диалоговой системы. Зачастую авторы упоминали верстку да логику UI, но не отвечали на вопросы “как менять сюжетные стейджи”, “как работать с разными типами диалогов”, “как менять статус персонажам на сцене” и т.п. Мне не хватало найденной информации и я потратил какое-то время на написание диалоговой системы самостоятельно. Для опыта конечно же… но и, будем честными, денег я зажал на готовые плагины. Надеюсь, что эта статья поможет таким же новичкам в Unity как и я, кто решил учиться разработке через практику и прототипирование. Небольшая оговор очка: я занимаюсь автоматизацией тестирования и мой основной язык python. Так что заранее прошу извинить за не самые лучшие конструкции C#. Также хочу упомянуть, что статья эта не про код, а про архитектуру, так что первого в принципе будет не так уж и много. А что за игру я делаю? Сюжетное 2д приключение, где я решил брать не механиками, а историей. Часть 1. Планирование архитектуры Без четкого ТЗ результат ХЗ. Для начала планируем и фиксируем, что хочется вообще сделать. На моем примере: 1) Система линейная, диалоги без вариантов ответа; 2) Каждая сцена - это грубо говоря отдельная игра, которая не связана с другими сценами, их все можно запускать независимо. Сохранения реализованы в момент перехода между сценами; 3) На каждой сцене есть n стейджей. На каждом стейдже m диалогов. Заканчиваются стейджи - на этой сцене заканчивается сюжет, можно переходить на новую сцену;

That’s all, folks!
Here’s the title screen, some spoilery content & a sneak peek of what’s next.
🙏 Huge thanks to everyone who played & supported LOCKED!

Some objects are essential to progress in the game, others were designed purely for storytelling. Here’s a selection of key props 🔦

Game spaces shape the experience. My first draft of LOCKED’s level design was a bit different—the basement was originally an attic!
🗺️ While most of the structure remained, small tweaks changed the pacing and tension. Here’s a look at the evolution of the level layout

Last time we talked about Frantz, today it's Debbie’s turn!
She was designed to embody the classic "final girl" archetype, inspired by 70s survival movies 🎬.
One key aspect of her design was making sure her look reflected her health in real time, reducing the need for UI elements.

Meet Frantz, the antagonist🔨
He was the first character I designed—and the heart of the game

1 year ago, I released my first solo game, LOCKED. No idea where it would lead—but the response was amazing 🎉
To celebrate, here’s a look at unseen sketches & concept art!

I was able to get the flatpak of JetBrains Rider up and running with my Unity install on Linux. I found this gist that had a fancy script to point Unity to in order for it to recognize Rider.

https://gist.github.com/NorbiPeti/0700920e8afddcd4ebe30e73130cfe6e#rider-unity-integration

I installed some dependencies through flatpak for dotnet6 and mono6 and added environment variables using Flatseal so that Rider could find them.

`flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.dotnet6 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.mono6`

`FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT=dotnet6,mono6`

I wrote a more in-depth guide but haven't posted it yet. If I do, I'll add a link to a new fedi post.

That said, if anyone has alternative programs for code editing with Unity on Linux that has Intellisense or the like, and aren't Microsoft products, please let me know!

My artist delivered a new crystal cave with a new crystal shader adding this cool shimmer effect when you move around.

It looked cool so I spent 2 days pushing everything as far as possible!

Crystal Caves are SO SPARKLY NOW! ✨💎✨💎✨

#starlab #indiedev #shaders #gamedev #gameart #Unity2D

Caves and map transitions 🔥🔥

Its finally getting there - next major step:
⚔ Battle System ⚔

This is going to take a while to plan and make, but its going to be awesome, you'll see 😉

Pro Tip: Use Unity’s TextureAtlas to group textures into a single image, reducing draw calls in sprite-heavy 2D games. #unity2d #performance

Pro Tip: For smoother control in platformers, use Rigidbody2D.velocity instead of changing the object’s position directly. #unity2d #gamedev

Finished the implementation of chests and started to create a basic inventory system 💰

Right now, the whole map is not very structured - the next step is therefore to structure the code, make a template and a second map to try it out!
