September 29th Update – More experiments with Unity3D

Following Mirandas release, I’ve returned to my experiments with Unity3D.

For those who missed my posts earlier in the year, I’ve been doing a series of tests with Unity in the hopes of one day making a ‘3-D’ dating game. Progress has gone well. I’ve almost finished building all of the levels, with the next stage being working out the best way to do dialog.

Want to help and get a little preview of what’s to come? Well, that’s the main reason I’m posting today.

Here’s a link to a demo level (windows) : LINK

EDIT : Here’s a link to what should be the mac version. Hopefully. It is completely untested by me as I don’t have a mac, but I’d love to hear if it works for anyone : LINK

There’s no gameplay, it’s just an empty level to explore, but I’m interested in getting some reactions to how it looks. Specifically, does it run OK on your computer? If it doesn’t, try running it at a lower graphics setting (change ‘fantastic’ to ‘simple’ at launch), and changing the resolution to something lower. Is it OK now?

In the bottom left of the screen you should be able to see the framerate. Ideally, it should be hitting at least 30 on average.

If you really want to help, please post up what framerate you’re getting with the basic specifications of your computer (RAM, processor and graphics card if any).

Have fun and please leave feedback if you can.

September 18th Update – Miranda Walkthrough

To help those that are still stuck on Miranda, or just for those wondering how all the the points add up, this week I thought I’d add my own walkthrough for Miranda to the blog (rather than the members section, just in case you’ve cancelled your membership since getting the game).

As with all walkthroughs for these games, there will be more than one route. Feel free to play around and experiment to see if you can do this a little differently.

Miranda – Walkthrough

To reach the ending, you will need a minimum of 80/100 ‘likes’ and 80/100 ‘lust’.

You also need to unlock four interests which are :
– Hiking (in conversation during intro, volleyball and lunch)
– Philosophy (in conversation during intro, or volleyball)
– 80’s music (in conversation during volleyball, or by selecting corret music at jukebox)
– Nudist (during conversation with Faye at hotel, by correctly playing guessing game)

To get the ‘adventurous sex’ ending, you need to max out Mirandas lust meter using everything listed about, but skip some of the opportunities for ‘likes’.
