Frequently Asked Questions

• ⚠️ PLEASE READ THIS ‧ I downloaded the asset and it's not the latest version / it's not working / I don't have all the files
  First, start by making sure you're running the latest current version of Unity. Then try downloading the asset again. Each version of the engine requires a specific Unity version, and if your version doesn't match, you'll get an old version. That's normal, that's how the Asset Store works. You can check what the requirements for each engine's version are on the Releases page.
• Is there a tutorial or something ?
  There's a complete documentation, you should read it!
  Furthermore, the asset includes a complete API documentation of all the classes of the Highroad Engine. Plus, the code is heavily commented, so understanding it shouldn't be too hard.
• When will you release the update X or feature Y ?
  When it's done.
• Can you develop that feature that I really need ?
  I don't take requests, paid or not. You can of course express your interest in a new feature, but in the end I'm the one who decides what I do with the Engine. My goal is to create a strong yet generic basis for a platformer game. If your request is very specific (like a grappling hook or a portal gun - although I reckon that'd be pretty fun), it probably won't make it.
• The asset is not working with my gamepad!
  Controls have been set up for keyboard and xbox pc gamepad. Obviously including support for every gamepad/configuration would be impossible, so I just went with the most common conf. Luckily for you, this has nothing to do with the Highroad Engine, and is really a general Unity matter. You should be able to find the right conf by googling it or on the Unity forums. Key binding is set up in the engine like in any other Unity project, via Edit > Project Settings > Input.
• The asset is crashing on my device!
  My guess is it's a performance issue.
  - does it work in the editor ? If it works in the editor, your device may not be powerful enough to run it.
  - does the MinimalLevel scene alone work on your phone/tablet/device ? If it works, your device may not be powerful enough to run larger levels.
  This is a general Unity performance problem, nothing really specific to the engine I'm afraid. If you absolutely want to run it on that device, aim for smaller assets, less enemies, stuff like that. Mesa1 level for example does include some very large assets (4096x4096 backgrounds for example), clearly not fit for slow devices.
• Where can I change the input settings ? I don't like the current key layout!
  Like in any good Unity project, the settings are defined in the Input Manager. You can access it via Edit > Project Settings > Input.
• What programming language is the asset written in ?
  C#
• Can I mix this with the Infinite Runner Engine, TopDown Engine or the Corgi Engine into just one project?
  All of these assets are what Unity considers "Complete Projects". That means that they come with their own dependencies, and their own project settings (input, most importantly, but also layers, tags, etc). All of these assets were designed to be foundations on their own, not to be used together. It's of course possible to do so, but you'll have to do some refactoring, and this is not officially supported (it'd be impossible to maintain compatibility across all assets at all times). If you decide to do so, I'd recommend unifying MMTools and input first, the rest should be pretty straightforward.
• Am I allowed to use the code in more than one project ? Can I modify the source code or the visual assets ?
  Once you've bought the asset you can do anything you want with the source code, you're just not allowed to redistribute it (offer it for free, sell it anywhere, etc). You can of course use that code to create commercial games and sell these, just don't redistribute the contents of the asset. And yes you can modify it, use it in more than one project. It's yours now!
• Can I just compile the asset and upload it without changing anything to Google Play, Steam Greenlight or the Apple Store ?
  Well no you can't. Although this sounds like a genius masterplan, I'm afraid it's not legal. Be imaginative, create your own game. Of course you can use the asset as a basis, that's what it's for.
• I really love the asset, is there any way I can help ?
  Of course, you could put a nice note or review on the asset on the Asset Store.
• Who are you? What is More Mountains?
  My name is Renaud Forestié, I'm a French game designer based in Montreal, Canada. I also do illustration work and I'm available as a freelance. I founded More Mountains, my creative studio, in 2015, after 15 years spent as a freelance art director and game designer.
• Got another question ?
  Are you sure it's not answered above ? Then you can join the discussion on the Unity Forum thread, or send me a message using the support email on the asset's page. Or you can use the form below. It's up to you :)
