Creating a Farming RPG (like Harvest Moon) in Unity

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.

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.

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.

Part 11 is going to be the first of a few parts in our Metroidvania series that will focus on redesigning some of the codes in this series to make them more robust, and culminate in us having a new, and more stable saving system. In this part, we are going to be recoding and centralising the features in our project that involve time stopping—namely, the time-stop that happens whenever we pause the game, as well as the hit-stop that happens when the player gets hit.
Currently, both features are managed independently, and this can cause unintentional behaviour in the game sometimes. For example, if you happen to pause when an enemy hits you, the game freezes up even after you unpause, and you will need to do another pause and unpause to resume the game, as shown in the video below.

To complete our new weapon system for this series, we will need to have a proper buff / debuff system, because there are weapons in Vampire Survivors that apply buffs and debuffs to enemies. Hence, we're going to be working on this in Part 23, so we can create cool stuff like this:
