Introducing Makinom - now available in Asset Store - Page 2

Mostly starting ORK events in Makinom schematics and Makinom schematics in ORK events.
Also cross saving - i.e. saving ORK save game data with Makinom save game date (and the other way round) and stuff like that :)

On the long run, ORK's event system will also be updated with some of the shiny new stuff found in Makinom's node editor. At least what's possible without breaking compatibility to older projects.

Makinom is pretty powerful in regards of variables and nodes - there's local variable sharing, variable lists (will be handled in the upcoming 2D Roguelike tutorial series), local variables in formulas (will also come in ORK at some point), node layers, etc.

So one would need to continue to use ORK for items, class, combatant etc. creation and storage? Not that I want to discontinue using ORK, just trying to get a mental image of where Makinom plays in the process of game creation. Granted, I will be checking out the tutorials and such, so please forgive my noob-like questions :)

Also, do we need to register for the forums on the Makinom site? Or can we post here for both? Just finding out what you would like us to do :)

Cool :) Thanks! Will definitely be getting Makinom. It sounds like another asset that has been discussed here but much better :)

I think the key for us as users will be finding out when and where to use which tool for various situations.

You mentioned controls. Could Makinom replace ORK custom controls? Or at this point it may not no Makinom exists :)

Makinom is an overall game development tool for all kinds of genres - controls, mechanics, logic, AI and other things can all be created with it.

So, with the risk of sounding a little controversial,
Makinom = ORK + Plygame + Playmaker?
or Makinom = Plygame?
or Makinom = ?

I love ORK, but already have both Plygame and Playmaker.
Will Makinom enhance ORK in ways that Plygame+Playmaker cannot? :)

Hope see schematics example about
Background alternating movement.
game view size setting, this let player on the region, Or just on terrain or map.
Rondom instance game object from a prefab array,
Or a example for "RPG Map Editor " https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/cn/#!/content/25657

@Squeaker
Yes, Makinom could replace custom controls - will be adding options to the upcoming plugin for that :)

@Kirb @Kaemalux
No, decided to only go for Asset Store this time, majority of sales goes through there anyway and reduces my work on releases significantly if I don't have to maintain my own shop/send out the update as well :)
I could start selling it instantly on my site and probably get some nice sales, but it'd force me to have 2 separate release chains for the upcoming years.

@Gregorik
Yes, Makinom is something similar to playmaker and plygame - just doing it it's own way :)
Since both ORK and Makinom are from the same source, the upcoming plugin will allow a more neatly integration of them in regards to e.g. playmaker.

@ZhaoYu
That's already possible - every Vector3 field allows generating random vectors (using random sphere/rotation types), you can randomly get values from variable lists and spawn a random prefab from a list.

You can add resources (e.g. prefabs, audio clips, sprites) to a schematic, each resource can consist of multiple prefabs, audio clips, etc. - using them can be in sequence or randomly.
Also, you can override those resources in the machines using the schematic. You can see examples in the game tutorial series.

Seems pretty cool! Will definitely buy when it's up in the store. :D

so buyign this when it comes out along with the add on


any chance for a simple multiplayer demo to look at? just to see the work flow
