Unity Options

[Rukiri]

I'm now just getting back to work on things, will be absent for most of the week do to changing computer cases and because removing the power supply from my GPU is a pain in the **** I'll be taking it slow and plan where to route all the cables.

Now because my time is limited but not that limited I decided to use unity for my 2D RPG, I find RPG Maker utterly limited and because I know what I want I decided to write it myself in Unity.
Unity was made for 3D games but can be used for 2D games pretty easily, there are tools for making tile-maps, there's sprite manager 2, 2d toolkit, mapping editors like tidy and unitile and toolkits like uni2d which is what I'll be using for the most part and it seems a lot more versatile than using a tile map editor.

I'll be releasing a small demo, basically Mario Level 1-1 using Uni2D and updated graphics as mario from nes needs it but won't go overboard.

I would recommend Unity for those who still want a editor/toolkit but don't have the time for strict C++.

I wouldn't say unity has a steep learning curve but a wee bit larger than rpg maker, Unity is well documented heck rpg maker is lacking in documentation by comparison plus the community is better well that's subjective I guess.

If you want 2D just get 2D toolkit and call it a day plus if you want 2.5D it's easily done.

anyways I completely spaced out today, slept in til like 2Pm..

If anyone wants the mario sprites I made here ya go, just did a quick edit of the original nes sprites.
