Creating a Metroidvania (like Hollow Knight) in Unity
This post will be free until the video is released.
In Part 15 of our tutorial series, we will be working on implementing a new and improved save system that supports multiple slots for our game. This new save system will be more robust and less buggy than our old implementation, which used the deprecated (and less flexible) BinaryWriter class in C#, and had a multitude of problems as a result.
In this blog post, we’ll go through how to create this blood splatter effect that progressively stains your level with each blood splatter.

Now that we've set up a coin collection system from the previous part, we're now ready to improve upon the very simple treasure chest that we've implemented in Part 12 to faciliate weapon evolution. In this part, we’ll enhance the treasure chest system to more closely mirror the mechanics seen in Vampire Survivors.
Our upgrades will include the ability for chests to level up existing weapons and passives, grant entirely new ones, and reward players with multiple items at once—ranging from 1, 3, or even 5 rewards per chest.

In Part 14, we are going to be improving upon the pickup system, and the UI overlay that pops up when you pick up an item. We are also going to be using the hit stop system that we made in Part 11 for the UI interlude that happens whenever we pick up an item.

In the next part of our tutorial series, we will be implementing a save functionality for our coins and coin pickups. We'll be introducing a coin system that persists across play sessions, allowing players to track their progression. Alongside this, we'll add new pickups that reward players with coins during gameplay.
Currently, there are no persistent rewards tied to completing levels. By introducing collectible and usable coins, we create a more engaging experience where players feel rewarded for their efforts and have meaningful goals to work toward.

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.

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.
