News & General Discussion

Hi,
I am very new here. Working with flash to make 2d games. Just learnt about unity. I have few things in mind. Any one answer please.

I can not find any tutorial or resource to make 2D board games like Chess etc. Can we make 2D Chess game with unity for its all about 3D games?

Has any one developed any 2D multiplayer board game with unity?.

Is networking easy with unity to make 2D games like making lobby, Chat etc?

I really want to see any 2D multiplayer game in action. Any one know any game?

All I want to work 2D games. Any suggestions please.

Thanks

If you just want to work with 2D games you might want to check out Construct

I’ve made one of those peg jump games…though it’s in 3D, there’s no reason it couldn’t have been 2D. No reason you couldn’t do chess in unity.

I dont see a single example of any board games in 2D with multiplayer Chat and lobby. Strange no live example. All is in 3D :(.

thanks

Tumbledrop (tumbledrop.com) is 2d.
Zombieville USA is 2d.

It’s also only been about 12 hours since your original post. I’m sure there are 2d, multiplayer “live” games out there. But if all you’re asking is about the difficulty to create one, than it’s relatively easy.

The networking, especially for something like a turn-based board game, is very simple once you understand the fundamentals. The ease/difficulty of networking has no relation to the number of dimensions, though, so even if the game is 3d…that has no bearing on the networking.

I think I should give it a try.
Can someone reply my questions.

I have graphic assets for CHess game developed in Photoshop. Can I use that in 3DUnity?.

Can we make like lobby with 2D chairs and players on them and clicking on it will join the chess game etc?

Can I use skins like my designed scroll bar, UserList panels etc in 3DUnity for developing 2D envoirnment?

I am not asking about multiplayer feature. Just general questions about the envoirnment setup.

thanks

It is possible. I have worked on chess project created in pure Java so it wont be that difficult in unity at all
