How to create a Replay System like in Super Meat Boy using Unity

In this video, I show how to create a replay system similar to the one in Super Meat Boy using Unity. We'll start with replaying a single playthrough and then expand the system to handle replaying each attempt at the level. The example in the video is done using a platformer-styled game; however, the concepts and logic in this tutorial will apply to most other types of games as well. Thank you for watching and I hope the video was helpful! 🙂 ► TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:41 Input vs State Based Replay 2:32 How it's going to work 6:42 Project Overview 8:30 Recording the data 11:31 Creating the Replay Object 12:35 Replaying the player 19:56 Switching the Camera Target 20:39 Replaying more state data 25:11 Replaying multiple objects 28:55 Replaying like Super Meat Boy 31:29 Optimizing for memory usage 34:22 Outro ► RESOURCES This is an excellent resource which goes over some more complicated topics like Memory Streams in a Replay System.
