Agents Navigation is an alternative to A Star navigation and unity’s default movement system with it becoming deterministic ( soon I hope) will make it better for network play. It also has local avoidance built in to it which Unity’s movement system doesn’t, Agents Navigation has been mentioned a few times in the channel, and… Continue reading Agents Navigation Module

Netcode for gameobjects
alternative options for multiplayer, especially ones that handle nat better
Ability to set UnitMovement speed

Game and player statistics module
Hmm, I am unaware of the technical details of the engine, but just as I played the demo game, I felt like there is a need for statistics module or a feature. I am guessing this would be tightly related to the replay module. I guess knowing how many units of certain type were built… Continue reading Game and player statistics module
