7pm @ Colab Workspace,17 E Pennington St The last Tuesday of the month is upon us! That means that its time for another awesome TGD meeting full of games, cookies and potential randomness. đ Topics up for the event: Jams! Jams! Jams! Ludum Dare 40 is this weekend! UEJam was earlier this month and we’ll probably play some of the submissions.

Got something to show? Bring it! Just want to lurk?...

Or…Â Execution Order in the Unity Networking HLAPI As of June 2017 and Unity 5.6.1, the documentation for Unity Networking (formerly, and still colloquially, “UNet”) is still thin on details that matter a great deal when building multiplayer games with its HLAPI (high level API). I use the HLAPI because my networking needs are not very esoteric, but even though it simplifies many aspects of multiplayer game dev, there are several design snags that I find myself having to work around in every new project using the system. Some of my scars might give users new to Unity Networking a leg...
Thanks to all who came out to May’s TGD meeting. We had quite a diverse group of topics presented. So many that its hard for me to get ’em all straight!

Escaaaaape! Genji showed up with a giant black suitcase, and guess what? It was a portable escape room game! If you are not familiar with escape rooms they are a series of puzzles...
