Creating a Rogue-like (like Vampire Survivors) - Part 15

Creating a Rogue-like (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity — Part 15: Weapon System Revamp

This article is a part of the series:
Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity

This part of Vampire Survivors has been 2 months in the making, and it contains enough content to be split into 3 or 4 parts. Nevertheless, I decided to release it as a single part because there was no natural place I could split this part into.

This part contains a lot of advanced coding concepts that can help you take your programming to the next level if you've been following our series, because it contains a lot of reorganising of code to make our game easier to manage. At higher levels, good coding is often a matter of organisation rather than knowledge, because organising your codebase well will allow you to very easily create new content; and a poorly-organised codebase will be hell to work with when you create a lot of content. Hence, this part will be very helpful to those of you looking to take your coding skills to the next level.

In Part 15 of the Vampire Survivors series, we will be covering the rework of the weapon system so that it will be more flexible and intuitive to use. In essence, we are making the weapon system more integrated, so that our weapon data files will not be spread across multiple prefabs and data files:

Weapon data spread across multiple files.
Our weapon data for different levels was spread across multiple files, making them hard to manage.

Instead, we want all our level data, as well as our weapon evolution data, to all be kept within a single data file:

New weapon data setup
We want all our data to be contained within a single file.

Creating a Rogue-like (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity — Implementing Mobile Compatibility: Part 1

This article is a part of the series:
Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity

Update 22 January 2024: There was a bug in our Virtual Joystick Pack that we’ve fixed. If you were having problems getting the joystick to work after exiting the game and restarting it, please redownload the pack and reimport it into your project.

Implementing Mobile Compatibility is a short series of articles that will complement our main Vampire Survivors series. As the name suggests, in this series of articles, we will be exploring how to bring mobile compatibility to the game that we have been building in our main series.

Specifically, in this article (and the accompanying video that will be released soon), I will be covering — in general — the things to consider when introducing mobile compatibility to a game, as well as how to port the movement controls (the only mode of control in the game) to a mobile interface.
