  Yarn Spinner is a tool for building interactive dialogue in games!

  

Project mention: Dialogue system with scriptable objects | /r/Unity3D | 2023-05-30

Another option if you don't want to implement it yourself though is to use an already built library. I've been playing with YarnSpinner a little bit recently and I'm liking it so far. I can't give much more details than that, but it's maybe worth a look. At least for some reference.

• com.unity.multiplayer.samples.coop

  27 1,503 7.1 C#

Project mention: So How do I set up Multiplayer in my 2D game? | /r/unity | 2023-07-08

Have a look at https://www.photonengine.com/# Or the "new" built in thing from unity itself https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/ (on the last link you find an example project "boss room" that shows how to implement multiplayer. When playing over the internet, you must "just" specify the correct host)

• SadConsole

Project mention: How can I get a 1:1 sized font? | /r/roguelikedev | 2023-05-04

Since you're already working in C#, there's a library called SadConsole that does this. It relies on either MonoGame or SFML to actually render to the screen, though. If you're not using either of those, the source may give you some ideas on how to implement such a grid of tiles yourself. There are of course other libraries that do this, but SadConsole is the first that I could remember in C#.

I used this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnETyJUiCiM which uses this state machines https://github.com/Inspiaaa/UnityHFSM/. It is very informative and i like how in the video you use colliders to trigger different states.

• Arch

  A high-performance C# based Archetype & Chunks Entity Component System (ECS) with optional multithreading.

Project mention: Does it still make sense to roll your own ECS? | /r/gameenginedevs | 2023-07-31

For C#, I've found Arch, which looks pretty much like what I need. I would use it with MonoGame.
