I recently had an issue with scene loading through scripts and found out that it was related to the usage of strings and plain text settings files:

Scene 'Scene_Game' couldn't be loaded because it has not been added to the build settings or the AssetBundle has not been loaded.
To add a scene to the build settings use the menu File->Build Settings...

As you can see from above, 'Scene_Game' is registered in the editor. So what was the deal? There is a plain text file located in [ProjectRoot]\ProjectSettings\ called 'EditorBuildSettings.asset' that may need to be updated with the modified scene file name.

This error occurred for me because I renamed the scene file within the assets browser in engine, and it failed to also update the file in the file system.

I tried to take a short cut and it quickly backfired.

What I should be doing is use a dynamic array so I can just do
TowerSectionComponent.GetSectionFromOffset(-1)
TowerSectionComponent.GetSectionFromOffset(-3)
TowerSectionComponent.GetSectionFromOffset(5)
and so on.

I recently ran into an issue with 3D mesh alignment through scaling where I needed the edges to match up at any scale. Here is the mesh:

It's a basic trapezoid, but with a ramp at the top. The goal is to have these side-by-side going up in a spiral, but here's the problem when they are scaled up in measured units:

The edges of the ramps do not align because the ramp itself was also getting scaled. The fix that I used for this is splitting the mesh into 2 parts: a uniform base, and the ramp itself that will never have its up-axis scaled, and will only sit on top of the base:

I have been busy travelling and helping a family business along the west coast. We went from Wonder Con to Sakura Con, and currently on our way back south to Silicon Valley.

During my travels I was able to get more inspiration and ideas of how to theme my game in a much more marketable manner from observing our guests.

This will probably be the last major change I will be doing to my game design because of a major opportunity I can use with the theming.
