For the game's Ability system I wrote a base Ability class that simply acts as a collection of modules (using ScriptableObjects in Unity). There are various modules for triggering when the ability happens, finding ability targets, specifying costs required, and effects to perform once triggered. This custom editor script I made helps to create and draw each of these modules nicely on a single ability object for great ease of use, and also has some pretty cool multiedit functionality to boot. The server uses these modules to perform the ability calculations and also send error messages to clients if the conditions aren't met. Here is an example of the CheckTargets function in the SingleTargeter module.

The good thing about this system is that each module is decoupled from the rest so it is easier to add new effects and functionality while maintaining a pretty clean code structure. I still have many modules I want to add like targeted AOEs not centered on caster, different AOE shapes, stat modifiers, spawning more visual effects, etc.. But I am very happy with what I have so far!

This is a test scene for the sprite shader I wrote. I wanted to use this free sprite pack I found, but also wanted to make the game in 3D, so I went for this weird kind of style. I was able to get the shadows and lighting to look pretty good actually even though each sprite is just a billboarded quad. Eventually we will probably make/acquire some actual models but for now this looks pretty cool!
