Hello, this is my first post on these forums but I just finished my first little text based game in C# for Unity. Just wonder if I could maybe get some feedback and possibly some pointers. I'm learning through a Udemy course and they provided a hosting service so you can test the game out in the web player here. In their example they used a finite state machine. Which I realize I could have done, but since I paused the video early and went off on my own I took a different approach, using integers to detect whether a player had obtained an object or not and if they obtained the object then call this state. (I think I'm describing that right? If not let me know.)
Anyway thanks for taking the time.
