What do you guys think I should do for the health system? Did any of my ideas sound good? Do you have anything to add that could be interesting?

1000 views already!...damn, I'm glad a lot of people are enjoying these devlogs, cause I certainly am :)...Goodluck on the future of your game and channel!

I personally would really like the "block power slowly decreases" idea. It could be used in really interesting ways!

Wow ur sword is really good looking ,😁😁

The grapple hook shot at the end of the video is pretty awesome looks fun to swing around!

Another amazing video! Loved it!

The sword looks awesome! I especially like the reflection on the blade, can't wait to try out some pvp :D keep up the good work!

That sword looks amazing! Good work as usual!

Love how this is looking. The melee attack will be sweet 👍❤

Cool another devlog!

always very interesting to watch ^^

Don't forget to help the youtube algorithm guys and gals.

that's gotta be the best pirate i've ever seen

Been waiting for this

Dang that sword looks good in the light! I'm ready to duel you. Just tell me when and where!

3:15 Wondering what your solution was for this! I've been struggling with it myself. That sword model looks awesome! In my opinion, having food instantly heal you is super important for fighting games, and makes the fights last longer and have more depth since you can choose to retreat and heal or try to kill your enemy while they're weak. Think splash potions of healing in minecraft, bananas in Sea of Thieves, and healing spells in League of Legends. However, this mechanic isn't unique, and wouldn't add any more depth to your gameplay than it does to those games. I think limiting which food the player is able to eat would make it really annoying to find and eat food, and turn it into a chore. Personally I'm not a big fan of the "food groups" mechanic because when I'm playing an intense pirate game I don't want to be worrying about my diet. On the other hand, since you are pirates, maybe some kind of simple scurvy mechanic could be interesting. Maybe fruit is more rare and requires you to land on islands to collect, but heals you more than meat or bread.

that is so cool

Maybe add material gathering(such as getting cloth), and let players craft bandages and such?

I think Mount and Blade has the best melee combat mechanics and you could copy some of its features. Some differences: - Instead of stamina to prevent infinite blocking there is 4-way directional blocking so the player must actively block from different directions, shields block all four sides but they have HP and once they reach zero they break. - There is a subtle riposte mechanic after successfully blocking an attack with a weapon, if the player launches an attack from the same direction as the enemy it will parry the attack and make the player's subsequent attack very quick. It's called chamber blocking and it requires quick reflexes to avoid it without chamber blocking the chamber block. - Power attacks are not really a thing but speed bonuses are given to attacks that carry momentum (there are goofy scenarios when spinning crazy fast and delivering an attack can instakill). - Weapons that are heavier than the blocking weapon can break through the block and knock over the enemy, or interrupt their actions by releasing the attack before its ready in exchange for doing less damage. For the sword: It's different and cool, reading some wiki pages it seems like the Romans adopted this sword from the Greeks but switched to the gladius because it was better at thrusting and slashing.

Nice progress, curious to see combat develop. On a different note, if it's not too much to ask could you do a tutorial on how you did the shader for the low poly water? Your tutorial about buoancy was great but unfortunately the water you did there runs on CPU.

Really Great Video! I'm pretty new to coding and game development overall and I'd like to ask, how did you create the rope or the line that is created after shooting the hook? Thanks and keep up the work!

Hey Tom, great work! I have 1 question, how would you go about creating game rooms on the Server and with restrictions for example (Room4, 10 players max, game mode SURVIVAL) ? would it be as simple as creating a Dictionary of roomID and Room instance and assigning players to a specific roomID and handling packets based on room/playerid ? asking this out of curiosity because the Server would practically accept all players, instead I would want to know how would you go about having separate active game rooms similar to CSGO or something. Thanks!

Nice devlog I like the melee combat! :) You should almost always make scripts so they are reusable, it saves me a great amount of time.

Nice

Curti heeeeim... topzera... o/

I don't know if this helps at all But in my own game I'm using animation events to call a change in the weapons tag Meaning I can controll when and if it registers hits I know you are trying to avoid collider use on the melee weapon but for now at least you may find registering hits and directions etc are easier to do with events It may be completely undoable I've not messed with your server tutorial as of yet That's for my next project Single player first aye I'm following you anyway Tom Thanks for sharing your progress Its inspiring Edit I wrote that halfway through as I was listening Ignore most of that then Good job finding your bug

Did you do something new with the water? It looks amazing.

This sword looks fantastic. I'd love to see your rendition of a cutlass (or cutlass combo) The idea of minecraft style health sounds awesome too. I will ask you don't implement the limping seen in sea of thieves because I hate when that happens.

Remember to stay true to your vision - It is possible to have too much feedback.

Cool

For the combat system, I don't really like the charging heavy attacks mecanism. I think it would be interesting to have a attack, a feinted attack, and a block. the block would activate for a certain amount of time, let's say 0.5 sec, and if you block an attack, you can counter attack it (advantage) but if you don't (the oponent didn't attacked or feinted), you have a cool down where you can't block nor attack, so spaming block is counterable. That way, combats will be about blocking the rights attacks, countering them, playing smartly around feints, not spaming attack or block all the time. Sorry for bad english, or bad explainations, I've tried to be as clear as possible ^^'

Great work! I don't quite understand though why would not just set several materials to the sword, and you can configure them one by one, however you like. Alternatively, you can create textures if you feel like several materials would make the performance worse.

Not really much I can suggest this time, the things you showed off were already pretty well designed. Loved the idea's you had for the combat system, and with health regen the "Environment" based version sounds pretty solid, maybe with some way to show your current hunger/saturation. Looks like the game is finally starting to move out of that "boring" core mechanic phase, and onto more gameplay content. Also who tf disliked this?

You can also add greek mythology creatures for bosses.

You could chamge waves so that they are smaller around the island

Tom can you add a breathing meter that when its full u can go underwater and if its not you take damage (like in Minecraft) ?

Hi tom, what software do you use to record videos and edit? thx :D

Call it "Pirates and Booty". Also, any plans when it gets available?

Hey Tom, how did you make grapling hook? Is it Unity Joint or you coded it yourself? I noticed it does not stick to the ship, when you shoot at it. Is something wrong with just parenting grapling point to the object you shot at? Also huuuge thanks for your networking tutorial and this devlog series, it motivates me to keep working on my own first mini multiplayer project :)

Now that you watched the video with your adblocker, make sure to disable it and reload the video.

Good work. If u remmember me i was they guy asking you about learning codeing last video and i toke that class u told me about on khan but i feel like i didnt learn much. So i think i should switch to c#. Where do u think i can lear it?

Ad a kopis, its a single edged Greek sword (Fulcata)

I think that wether you go with a instant health regen or a saturation/slow regen will depend on how much you want combat to be affected by this. Are we going to spend plenty of time exploring and combat will be ocasional? Then going with the slow health regen by eating food (and maybe using bandages for quick short healing with a cooldown) would be great, since players should try to find safe spots to rest and plan accordingly to what they could find in the seas. Are players going to be fighting constantly? Then having to wait a minute between fights to regen health might be a bit tedious and slow paced. In the end, it depends on your vision of the game

I am Greek and it's pronounced ksyphos the os at the end is pronounced the same way you pronounce tornadO

Wht not both? A chicken leg foodbar that only heals when over half way, and uncooked food like cocunuts, bananas, and mangos that only replenish food, and cooked food like chicken and porkchops replenish both health and foodbar

Sound is ok/good :) #Health : I bet u know Dark Souls (I hope so 😋) actually the flask which heal a lot on just one fast drink where/are annoying. So ppl fight and run away with low hp and fight again after a drink/heal. I would recommend ur Minecraft solution. So there is a healing but slowly and without something that heals a lot in a short time. Thats just unreal and takes away the feeling of being IN the game. But thats just my opinion. + I also like the sword a lot ! 😊👌

god man

9:27 bruh, it really do be crafted with two diamonds and a stick

gamer

I just watching your networking tutorials for multiplyer but i cant see anycode properly and found that later videos are good so can you upload atlest first 3 videos again so we can read and understood code properly.

When will you fix the water?

9:37 diamond sword

We watching the party when the sunlight hits the blade and Shine's it all over my face whoooooaaaaa I watch it for more than a min and BORING and I saw the gun and i was like who made that whoaaaa and I saw the ship and like again whoaaaa And again whoaaaa and then whoaaaa and done

new name idea! "STAB THAT SHIP"

The sword is looking great but maybe the blade is a bit too thick...

wow that sword looking kinda cute not gonna lie, just saying

I like the combat system, its complicated, but easy enough to understand, and its something you can get good at easily, like 1.8 MC pvp. *unban me* But seriously nice work

VR??!?!

more comment !!

Skip the take more fall damage when injured. It's a very unintuitive mechanic and would be quite frustrating.

Hey keep up the good work! I just started out doing devlogs myself if you want to check it out:)

i dont think im going to fool anyone but... Read more
