Creating a Metroidvania (like Hollow Knight) in Unity
This article will be free until the accompanying video is released.
In the last part, we focused on building a new, modular and much simpler way of handling UI. We are following this up in Part 13 by upgrading and simplifying the code for our health and mana UI as well, as there are a couple of problems with it.

Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity
Continuing on from our Character Select Screen, lets do up a Level Select (or Stage Selection as Vampire Survivors calls it) for our player to both choose what map they'd like to play on, as well as view the level's info such as the time limit, bonuses and more. We'll also be introducing level buffs that can affect both players and enemies, adding variety to your level's mechanics and making each level more unique
Currently, our tutorial series only has one level, which is the Mad Forest, so with this new level select that we're gonna be implementing, it will enable us to create new levels much easier.

Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity
It's been a while since we've done anything new on our Character Select Screen and currently, you'll notice that it is extremely plain: A set of buttons describing the name and weapon of the character without any visuals or extra info. Hence in Part 24, we'll be adding proper character icons, a description box, and a stats section so players know the exact stats of the character they'll be selecting.

Using GitHub Desktop for Unity collaboration
In the second part of this series, we explore a very common problem that teams usually run into when collaborating on GitHub Desktop—merge conflicts. These can cause significant delay to your work, as you are forced to handle them when they occur before progressing; and it can take a fair bit of time and skill to solve them.
Resolving them incorrectly can also cause work progress to be lost.
Hence, in this article, we’ll be covering what they are, how you can avoid them, and how you can resolve them.

Creating a Metroidvania (like Hollow Knight) in Unity
Update 2 January 2024: We have fixed a few bugs in the scripts that were making some parts of the new code not work. Please re-copy and paste the codes if you were following this guide before.
One of the issues that our readers had a lot of bugs for, and a lot of questions on, in our forums, is regarding the scene fading functionality in SceneFader that we've made in Part 5. These issues, are in part, due to our Scene Fader GameObject needing to be manually set-up in each of our scenes for the fade-in and fade-out effect to work.
In Part 12, we are building a new, modular and much simpler way of handling UI, as well as of transitioning between the scenes, that will remove a lot of the problems and difficulties associated with managing all of these disparate UI elements.
