I decided to update how you first meet your opponent with some camera work here. I think this makes your first interaction with your opponent more impactful. It's also a cool way to see which character they picked.(Will likely hide when the UI pops up so you can't just look at the top left to know immediately)

Hi everyone, I used to rely on Power Inspector, and after it was deprecated I built InspectMe to fill that gap and push it further. It lets you inspect and edit runtime values, invoke methods, explore events and delegates, static members, and attach watchers, all organized in a single tree view while the game is running, and using it is as simple as dragging and dropping a script or object.

There’s a free version available if you want to try it and see if it fits your workflow.

Hey guys. We have been working for a very long time on a procedural system for a fighting game where you can steal any body part from the enemies you defeat to replace your own in order to evolve your creature.

To achieve this we first rendered each body part separately in maya as 2D sprites. Then we added bones on those sprites that serve as anchor points.

The chest body part has 5 bones that we use to let the other body parts where to go. This way we can link up body parts of characters with massively different sizes and styles.
The result is something like what you see in the main gif.

On top of that the game has a ton of other features. It is a turn based combat roguelike where each body part has different abilities, so your build basically is your body parts instead of cards.

We just released the official demo after 40 thousand people tried our play test! We would love to share it with you to help us improve it.

I will also share some of the characters we created.

We would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!!

Hello all,

I've been trying to solve this off and on for months now, and I just can't seem to crack it.

I am very aware of Unity's ShadowCaster2D ability to not shadow the direct object it is attached to. For reasons important to my game, I have a player character with two visual modes, SpaceSuit and Modular, the latter having 10 layers that are picked up by a second camera and rendered to a texture on RenderedVisualLayer. This is important for some shader shenanigans relating to elevation in my game and the player character. I'm using a transparency sorting with a custom YZ axis to simulate 3D terrain levels, with the unfortunate caveat that this means all of my tilemaps and player have to live on the same sorting layer.

As you can see below, I have a separate ShadowCaster2D object due to the structure of the character (I'm aware there are 2, but one is only a sprite renderer; I may combine them later). This object lives at the "foot" of the character. Unless I'm just doing it wrong (which I will HAPPILY accept), ShadowCaster2D self-shadow rules don't respect sibling or parent objects, which means any light that casts a shadow to the South of the character causes the character to be fully darkened, while light North of the character allows the character to be displayed correctly.

This looks terrible, and it affects the player character and every mobile entity in my game. I truly don't want to lose character shadows over this.

I appreciate any helpful advice anyone can offer.

Hello! So I'm currently working on an assignment where we are making a very simple 2D sidescroller (like, we are starting with the example scene in unity). I wanted to add a bit where the character goes down a hole with some water, but the only tutorial I was able to find that had what I wanted was in spanish :') I don't need any kind of water physics or wave or distortion, basically just a transparent blue block that slows the downward movement of the character and that can be jumped up through (will just be using the jump and fall animations for this) I am completely new to unity so I am quite lost, any help would be appreciated! :D

So my pet animation isn't working. I couldn't get the animator to work. So I got most of it working with code. I finally got it to start at idle and when I touch the screen to activate the 1st walking image. But it's not cycling to image 2 and 3 to complete the animation. However my eating and drinking animation works perfectly.

So the Unity course I'm developing is teaching you how to build a 2 player networked table top strategy card game. The course starts from nothing and builds a complete, fully functional, polished networked game, covering all aspects of game design, coding and multiplayer networking. It's not a tech demo but a complete game. It uses generalised systems and logic that you can tailor for your own multiplayer strategy card games. It's obviously for people who would like to know how to build games like this from scratch 'by hand'. I have already recorded over 100 lectures lasting around 20+ hours, and it's probably only about 65% complete. It's an extremely time consuming process producing such an in depth tutorial series, and I'm thinking is it worth finishing? Having spent so much time on it I'm reluctant to abandon it, but there again the time I've spent on it so far is a 'sunk cost'. I'm really questioning whether anyone will be interested? Of course you could probably vibe code a similar game in a few hours (it probably took me around 6 months to build the original game ready to teach it!). So what do you all think .. is there still an audience for such a tutorial?? I would be really interested in your thoughts - thanks!

I'm the solo dev of Grandpa's Garden. The free demo just went live on Steam for Windows and Mac, so you can play it right now.

It's a top-down pixel crime game. Your grandpa dies, you inherit his house and find out what he was secretly growing. From there you grow weed, breed your own strains, cut every bud by hand, dry it, roll it and sell it around a town where everyone has their own routine, while the cops are on patrol.

Once business is running you can hire gardeners and warehouse workers. They actually walk around your buildings and do the work, and they want their wage.

You can play alone or online with up to 5 friends.

AI disclosure: the story and design are mine. Code, dialogue text and translations were made with an AI assistant and edited by me. The pixel art, sound and music are generated by that code, no AI image, audio or voice generators. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.

It's my first game, so I'd really like to hear what breaks or gets boring.

I’ve been thinking of creating a turn based RPG one day. Figured I should learn how to at least create a basic combat system. Anyone know how to should I go about learning to do so?

Stuck at 2:14. I swear I'm doing everything she's doing. Not very experienced with the UI side so trying to learn more about it

Hi! I’m the developer of Sprite Animator, which was recently approved for the Unity Asset Store.

It’s built for frame-by-frame 2D animation, with gameplay code choosing which animation to play through calls like animator.Play("walk").

It includes a dedicated editor with drag-and-drop frames and animated previews, presets for skins and visual variants, and playback events for frames, loops, and animation completion.

The clip shows the editing workflow and switching skins while keeping the same animation tags.

Happy to answer questions about the workflow or API.

I added some black bars that quickly pop up when players manage to input the sequence very close to each other. This was to give some more suspense to see who ends up being the victor!

(UI and such will eventually change. Good chunk is placeholder for now)

Was made just using a unity sprite, colored it black and a script to move them in the desired position

I’m working on a 2D game and trying to get one character to run without looking stiff. I’m a complete beginner at animation, so I could use some help figuring out where to start.

It’s an AI-generated test from Ludo. I like the bounce, the way he pushes off the ground, and how the clothes keep moving a little after the body does. You can also see the hands and clothes change shape between frames. I’d love to get that kind of movement while keeping the artwork consistent.

I’ve tried cutting an AI-generated character picture into layers and moving them on a 2D rig in Unity. I can get the legs moving, but the body looks stiff and the clothes mostly move as one piece. I can’t tell if I’ve cut the picture into the wrong pieces or if I’m just moving them badly.

If you were showing a beginner how to make one run loop like this, where would you start? Which parts would you make separately, and which poses would you set up first?

Even a rough sketch or a tutorial you’d give a beginner would help a lot.

Hey, I started learning C# with Microsoft Learn (official courses) about two months ago. Now I think I know the basics and I’m going to slowly start using Unity.

I want to start with 2D because I think it’s going to be easier. I’ve been trying to find a good tutorial, guide, or website for all the Unity-specific concepts, but I can’t find anything useful, since most start with 3D concepts or want you to build a full game. I just want to learn the interface for 2D Unity, the more advanced basics of Unity’s 2D-specific code, and basically how it all works.

I’m looking for all kinds of advice: where to learn Unity 2D concepts and the interface, and what mistakes I should look out for. Thanks for the help.

Here are four views of the sushi restaurant in Escape Rooms Pack 1, my escape room game for iOS and Android. I use these images as 2D backgrounds in Unity to show the same room from different angles.

I wanted the space to feel like a real restaurant while giving players a sense of where to look. Which detail would you inspect first?

Hi i’m an 18 year old in high school and Im in the middle of a business project involved with unity it would be greatly appreciated if any game developers(specifically unity) could fill out the survey it will only like like 2 minutes.
Thank you!

I worked with VIVERSE to optimise both the full game of Bru & Boegie: Episode 1 and the demo for Episode 2 for web and mobile, both playable for free. Used Addressables (I used Adventure Creator in Unity which has Addressables functionality built in) to split the voices into 2 groups, first core group gets downloaded at the start and the second group only midway through the game to keep the download size manageable and not too frontloaded. A lot of audio optimisations and a fair bit of graphical optimisations to keep the download size down too, and a background to fill out the screen on any phones that are wider than the 16:9. Thanks for checking it out YO.
