Nihilist Me

Project Overview

Nihilist Me is a Unity project built with Unity 6000.2.6f2. Its project-owned code combines explorable gameplay, interactable objects, an in-game computer/desktop interface, debate gameplay, and smaller console-based activities.

Contributor	Contributions

Features

• Main menu, main gameplay, and Rezzit scenes.
• Player movement and interaction with objects such as computers and doors.
• An in-game desktop with file-oriented UI and draggable windows.
• Debate flow with topics, conversation history, opponent turns, judging, fallacy tracking, performance metrics, win/loss counts, and optional logging.
• Local Ollama integration through a JSON HTTP request. The configured defaults are http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/generate and the mistral model.

Loading

Important Systems / Architecture

• GameManager is a persistent singleton that handles pause input, references scene objects, and coordinates the pause state.
• SceneChangeManager loads the main menu or main scene and can reopen the desktop after a scene change.
• GlobalManagerGroup and DebateDataManager persist selected manager state across scene loads with DontDestroyOnLoad.
• SaveSystem serializes game data and settings to save.dat and settings.dat under Unity's Application.persistentDataPath.
• The debate subsystem separates state/data management, transport (DebateNetwork), parsing, scoring, visual management, and file logging.
• UI and layout components use Nova types such as UIBlock2D, TextBlock, and gesture-related components.

Development Notes

• Open the project with Unity 6000.2.6f2.
• The enabled build scenes are Main Menu Scene, Main Scene, and Rezzit Scene. Menu Scene is present in build settings but disabled.
• To use the debate's AI responses, run an Ollama service locally and make the configured model available, or change DebateDataManager's URL/model settings.
• Package dependencies are declared in Packages/manifest.json, including URP 17.2.0, Input System 1.14.2, and Cinemachine 2.10.5
