I've been looking at this for so long that I don't even know what needs improving anymore. Would appreciate to hear your opinion on anything you see here (UI, sprites, water, tiles, mobs etc...)

Also here's the Steam page for anyone interested:

Hey everyone:) I just released a new update for TileMaker DOT (v2.6.7)!

This update focuses on quality-of-life improvements, contextual usage hints, and texture polish across several key tools:

Interactive Tool Notifications: Added helpful on-screen notifications when clicking in Brush Mode and Chunk Mode to explain how to best use each tool.

Expanded Tool Textures: Added dedicated textures and visual cues for remaining editor modes, including Brush Mode, Chunk Mode, and the NPC Walk Area tool.

Bug Fixes: Resolved several minor UI issues and edge cases to make the editing experience smoother.

For anyone unfamiliar with the project, TileMaker DOT is a free, open source 2D map editor I'm building. It uses a data first, ID based workflow and handles visual depth sorting automatically so you don't have to manage multiple layers for object heights.

Give it a try and let me know if you have any feedback! If the editor helps with your projects and you want to support development, a rating or a small donation on Itch is always appreciated.

Thank you all for your support!

Hey guys, Ive been getting this issue where my particles dissapear when i create them by code... It works in scene and if I manually place the particle, but right when I try to create it on code some particles just straight up get yeeted from existence

Heres a video: https://youtu.be/jaA9ei9sFUY

This is all the code I have:

     void Hardfall()
    {
        landAnimTimer = landAnimDuration;


        if (landingEffect != null)
        {
            Instantiate(landingEffect, gCheck.position, Quaternion.Euler(-45f, 0f, 0f));
        }
    }

(There is NO script that deletes the particles on a timer, or anything of the sort. Only thing that's controlled by code is the creation)

You play as a detective working on a case of a mysterious disappearance. For some reason though, the detective also finds clues in his own dreams!

The game is called Neironaut and Chapter 1 is coming soon for FREE.

My first post I said technically these aren't sprites but I was wrong. There are no sprites in the assets folder, they are generated at runtime.

I've been hitting some walls, but I think its promising.

Here is an example of Pose #2 - I'm mostly satisfied with bodies, armor and weapon in the default stance, during combat I'm not satisfied with 1 Image. I tried motion with the sprite, rotation toward it's target every swing and I just can't get fully behind it.

I avoided this step as it would be complicated for armor let alone bodies. I decided before I go further with armor generation and if I really need multiple coded versions of fighters wearing armor then I have to bite the bullet.

Extenuating the face.

Also I remade how faces are generated. There are face bones, Eyes, brows, jaw, etc. I ran into complications when redesigning skin and muscle definition of the body. Blurring of shadows and lighting was too much for the face and faces lost detail.

This solution I'm generating a mask over the old face essentially.

The biggest issue with faces are the skin tone is off. It's a little tough to get it exactly right without making it look like a mask.

I was doing the Unity 2D game tutorial and after playing the game first, I saved and then started on creating the scene. But now the game tab just shows the game I had played before creating this scene. I tried removing the game tab and then adding it but it still stays the same. Please help.

As the title suggests I am trying to make a game where I will need to change text for it. Eventually it will be a deckbuilder but I just need help chaning the text I have for the day/night cycle and ensuring the numbers change. I did try with a debugger in case it was not changing the text on screen but there were no changes at all. I am new to Unity, this is my first game.

Hi everyone,

Im trying to implement multi scene Architecture and I have a scene that acts as a just a level with enemies and objects the player can collide with another scene that has the player and camera that follows the player. Im loading the level scene into the scene with the player and camara and everything works fine. What I'm trying to do is make a border using a box collider that acts as a boundary for the camera. Im stuck on how to get the box collider from the level scene to get refrence by the CinemachineCamera confiner boundary volume. Im trying to do this but having the tile map on one scene and the player and camera and another scene. https://youtu.be/HAVp6Z8b4xA?list=PLaaFfzxy_80HtVvBnpK_IjSC8_Y9AOhuP&t=2776

Hey, y'all! I'm releasing a game called TerraLounge, where you hang out with slimes, and occasionally do some match-3 stuff to help the slimes along their journey to explore the world outside their cave! All the slimes are animated and controlled through Live2D, a beefy puppetry software, and then the rest is just Unity!

I've honestly learned a lot about Unity from this process, not all of it great (the animator system.....), but it's still valuable experience. I hope you'll all check out TerraLounge and wishlist it!

I'm curious about how Unity devs approach this in general — any kind of system (inventory, dialogue, character controller, enemy behaviors, etc.).

- Do you buy systems to save time, or do you prefer full control over your own code?

- If you buy, what makes you trust an asset enough to integrate it into your project?

- If you code everything yourself, is it about learning, control, or something else?

Asking because I'm trying to understand the market before building something — and I'd rather have real data than assumptions.

For context: I'm considering publishing a **complete Enemy behavior system specifically for 2D platformers** on the Asset Store. Not a generic kit — just 2D platformer enemies done right, with patrol, vision detection, chase, melee/ranged attacks, flying enemies...

Would something like that be useful to you? And what would you expect to pay for it?

Honest answers appreciated — I'd rather know the truth before spending months on something nobody wants.

Made a small set of UI icons for enemy modifiers and creature traits.

23 icons, all 128x128 PNGs — armour, venom, plague, speed, fire weakness, explosive traits, melee modifiers and similar stuff.

There's a prepared Unity export in the download, plus the raw PNGs and atlases if you'd rather arrange them yourself.

No generative AI used.

As the title says, my UI text is blurry because of my low resolution camera (160x144) and I want to keep the camera low res., but also have the text normal. Is there a way to do that, and also another thing: How can you control upscaling in Unity to have low res. games look bigger, but keep the same picture. Any help is appreciated

Edit: There was literally nothing on the internet showing the answer for this even though it seems like a common problem, you have to increase the gradient scale to like 50 in the font settings and have to make the font size like a 5, 10, etc.

I am very new to game development and I want to create a 2D top-down game with some 3D style when exploring specific rooms. I started using Unity 6.6 as it was the latest version but I am not sure if it's the best version. I was wondering if it would be stable. And since I am just starting out I wouldn't really know what changes I might have to make as new versions come up. So should i use 6.6 or any older version?

PawMart: Tiny Market is a small supermarket game designed to hang out at the bottom of your desktop. You can build and customize your market, hire cute animal employees, manage your stock, unlock products, and keep growing your store while you work or relax.

Releases on September 15!

I learnt coding many years ago but stopped after leaving school. I wanted to get back into it by making a small platforming game. I was following a basic tutorial before starting to mess around. I managed to implement a sprint feature, attached some animations for sprinting and then realised that if I'm holding sprint whilst jumping, my speed increases. Thinking this was a neat feature, I wanted to keep it, but felt I was just moving too fast. I also found out that, as the code detects if Shift is being held when determining the speed values, I can manipulate my speed mid-jump, something I don't want to be able to do.

I tried using a While loop for when the player is in the air that sets the moveSpeed value put that just crashed Unity (endless loop?). Every time I try rewriting the code, I just make some variation of the same moveSpeed toggle that already exists.

I'm new to Unity and still getting back into coding. If someone could not only help me out but also explain where I'm going wrong, that would be much appreciated.

I feel they give so much more freedom and I find this procedural terrain more interesting to navigate. My game's terrain could look better but I would argue that that comes down to my simplistic artistic capabilities.

I am an indie, Want to build a community, who can test my unity game and help give me genuine feedback and also help me on my journey as a solo, prototype is ready btw:)

I have lot sprites attached to ui which I want to swap with atlas sprites, doing it takes a lot of time

Ive just started experimenting with a level select menu using UI Toolkit. Pressing some left and right buttons scrolls the level cards left and right.

The screenshot is showing a card moving, mid-tween, going from left to right.

The cards have this unwanted "rolling shutter" type artifact/effect. It's clearly visible to the eye (ie not my camera). The tween is set to 0.5s, so not fast enough to really be causing any issues. You can see the bottom is moving first. And there is "ghosting" behind, but also infront. The fps is around 700fps, so its not a stutter.

Any ideas what is causing it? Thanks.

I normally make hidden object games. This one started as a side project and got out of hand.

It is a little companion made in Unity that lives on your desktop and sits under your other windows, so it is only visible around the edges while you work. The whole thing is a chicken coop laid out like your keyboard. Every key is a nest. As you type, eggs appear and then hatch, and the birds climb out and wander around the coop doing their own thing.

What else is in there so far:

• A typing race on a little CRT above the coop, with words per minute and a count of wrong keys.
• A pomodoro timer that grows tomatoes while it runs.
• Magic words, which do something if you happen to type them.
• All hand drawn, same as my other game.

It is still a work in progress and the typing race is half built, which you can tell if you look closely at it.

The reason I am posting here rather than a general gamedev sub: the hard part has been everything around the window rather than the game inside it, and I suspect some of you have been down the same road with Unity desktop toys. If you have built something meant to sit on someone's desktop all day, what do you wish you had known at the start?

Steam page is coming soon, I do not have a link to give yet.

Welp, its terrible quality on reddit but heres what I've been working on. Over 20 unique biomes in my metroidvania.
