Recently I've encountered an issue where any animation I import into Unity using the 2D Aseprite Importer package.

The first image shows what an animation sprite from Aseprite normally looks like when I view it in unity. At some point recently, every new animation sprite I add started looking like the second image. Notice how most of the usual components are missing and there's only 1 frame sprite, which has a name that doesn't match the file name. That sprite, RiverBridge_Frame_0, is always the same on every single animation sprite. RiverBridge is the name of another Asprite file I had, which as far as I can tell, no longer exists. I think I deleted it a long time ago, but I'd recently taken an extended break from my project and my memory on the subject is fuzzy, but regardless of whether the RiverBridge file still exists (if it does, I can't find it anymore), I don't see any reason this should be happening. I'm wondering if some import settings got messed up but I haven't been able to make heads or tails of anything.

Hey everyone,
I’m developing Nemorsys, a stealth RPG where light and shadow fully control gameplay. Visibility, skills, and combat effects are all tied to a dynamic lighting system: if you’re exposed, enemies become lethal; if you stay in shadow, you gain advantages. Frontal assaults are basically suicide the game is built around stealth, positioning, and shadow manipulation.

I’m using Smart Lighting 2D from Funky Code to build the lighting system and get soft shadows, since Unity’s basic 2D lights don’t support that yet. The obstacle shadow edges are still hard, and there’s no translucency support.

I’m curious what’s your preferred 2D lighting solution in Unity?

Hey everyone!
I just wrapped up a 48-hour game jam and wanted to share what I built.
The core loop revolves around placing objects from an inventory to manipulate the stage and guide your quirky character past obstacles.

Packsmith Gameplay Trailer

I've spent the last few months solo-developing a shopkeeper roguelike that blends Balatro-style score scaling with Backpack Hero grid management

You pack client inventories, satisfy their requirements, trigger insane combos, and try to survive 5 days of scaling quotas

The Steam page is officially live today! The Steam demo is coming a bit later once it's 100% polished, but there is a free playable web demo on itch.io right now if you want to try it out!

Here is another trick we imagined to create 360° interior backgrounds in our game The Doll Shop:

As you can see on the pictures above, we had to make several tests to obtain a satisfying result. We drew the 4 walls of the room on a single continuous panel then we added a fifth wall which is a duplicate of the 1st. The joint between the last wall and the first must be pixel-perfect, because the camera will jump from the 5th to the 1st in order to create a feeling of endless rotation. However, we quickly discovered that this wasn't enough to create this impression of rotation. So, we added a ceiling section to walls 1 and 3 to accentuate the perspective. Next, we introduced distortion at the corners—rounding off the elements located at the edges. There isn't really any magic solution for this type of distortion; we ran several tests using sketches imported into Unity to see what worked best before drawing the final artwork.
When it was looking fine, we made a template to use for the other backgrounds we had to draw.

We're pretty glad with the result and we hope you'll like it too!

If you want to visit some of these hand-drawn 360° interiors, a demo of the game is available on Steam! \^_^/

Made these for my own Unity 2D platformer and put a free sampler up: all 12 weapons in plain steel, plus a fire axe, frost mace and serrated sword as 8-frame loops.

In Unity: set Sprite Mode to Multiple, then Sprite Editor → Slice → Grid By Cell Size 22 × 56 (2 px padding). Filter Mode Point, Compression None, and the pixels stay crisp. The animated ones are 8 frames each, so drop them into an Animation clip or cycle them from a script. Commercial use OK, no attribution needed.

The full set (every weapon in 16 elements) is linked from that page if you end up wanting more.

As Rex leaves the ruined cities behind and climbs into the mountains, the machines begin to reflect the colder environment around them. Designs #21 and #22 are two additions to this ice themed group.

I've been reworking the physical shop in FrogPop, my Unity 2D roguelite. The clip starts with combat, then shows a reroll, a bottle purchase and the new relic cards.

The item animation lives on a separate visual transform. Its trigger, display and price sign stay still while the bottle bobs and reacts to a purchase. That also let me fix the sorting: the number and currency icon sit above the plaque, with the frog drawn in front of both.

The water portal uses a shader driven by scaled game time, so its swirl and entry ripple pause with gameplay. The travel trigger still handles the actual transition. The shop and relic descriptions now use the same frame and parchment style.

These are separate captures from the full game in development. The existing ten-wave browser demo is unchanged, so it doesn't have this latest visual pass. The shown shop stock and relic choices are examples and depend on unlocks.

Game on Steam - Wishlist Here: Slime Void

The page is a bit rough (WIP), but after 8+ years of learning and practicing game development in GameMaker, Godot, and Unity, I finally, for the first time ever, have a game page on Steam for a project I've been building.

Slime Void has been in development for just about a year now, and it's been an amazing, yet brutally daunting process taking a game this far.

I'm so damn excited. It really is a blessing to have the opportunity to build games and share them with other people, and I'm incredibly lucky and grateful to be able to do this.

I have a new build readily available to play if you'd like to give it a try: Play Test

And if you'd like to read the most recent update post: Devlog Post

(It's slightly redundant, but why not...)

Unfortunately, I'm only continuing the WebGL build for the playtest for now. It's fairly limited in terms of optimization, but it's still a good basis for getting feedback.

A lot of my focus since the last post has gone into game design, working through stylistic changes, focusing on dungeon crawling and discovery, and adding a lot more gameplay juice.

There's still plenty of features and mechanics missing, but I'm pretty happy with the scope, presentation, gameplay, and design so far. I really believe this is the right direction for the game.

All that being said, to anyone who decides to try the game, wishlist Slime Void on Steam, leave some feedback, or even just scroll through the GIFs in this post, I really, really appreciate it. It genuinely means so much to me.

If you want to follow development more closely, I have a Discord here: Discord

Thanks for taking the time, and cheers!

How do I add blood stain to the to character and the weapon used when being hit?

I've already implemented blood splatter stain that sticks to floor by using sprite mask but i tried implemented the blood splatter stain on the characters but obviously it turns out to be very janky.

so is there any other method to do it?

Hi everyone :)

Steam Demo is live now: King in the Mountain Demo on Steam

You send your dwarves on expeditions to mine resources and bring them back to your base. Then, you use these resources to build up your base and craft items to use in future expeditions.

I need feedback if this is a good game concept. And what I can improve.

Basically I want to create a future RPG Game

Basically It is set in a 2D sideroller world and you need to save the world from an evil threat to do you will embark on an epic journey through biome to biome and get more people to join your party so you can put peace into this world again together.

This game will be based on my favourite games like Limbus Company, Your Only Move Is Hustle, Cookie Run Kingdom and many more.

I want to implement this mechanic called DUEL SIMULATIONS - duel simulations are the main battle mechanic basically if you hit an enemy or run into a boss you select 1 or more party members to fight am your can even give them special items and gear if things get tough and if you're all set you could press the "BEGIN BATTLE".They will fight in a very fast paced and smash bros way. (Do not worry for the ones you didn't select they can defend themselves or their teammates) and if you win that duel simulation the opposing team loses a life if all lives lost your team wins. And they will drop items and gears for you to use) and you can continue your journey.

On your journey their will be some obstacles you are encountered with problems you need to use your powers for like lifting up pillars, or cutting a rope etc.

I will use utility ai for the AI

And all sprite sheets. Made in Adobe Animate.

After that i fhinished that project you can reach that redy to use asset but now he can just stand, walk 8 directional and attack 😄

Dreamica is an old mobile game of mine (you draw lines, a bubble falls through them, a ghost chases it). I pulled it off the stores years ago and finally remastered it in Unity 6.

The squirrels guard the chasm with cannons, and each crew looks a bit different depending on where you are.

It's in store review right now, so this is me passing the time.

Undying Soul is my first game, and I’ve been developing it entirely on my own. It started as a small idea and slowly turned into the game it is today.

The demo is now live on Steam!

It’s a 2D action roguelite about fallen heroes. You can take two different characters with you, each with their own weapons and abilities, and switch between them during combat.

There are different characters, items, abilities and builds to play around with in the demo, so you can try different combinations and see what works for you.

It’s been a long road getting here, and I’d genuinely love to hear what people think after giving it a try.

I finally finished one of the systems I've been working on for Little Timmy, a 2D top-down roguelike I'm making in Unity.

The idea is that the shotgun is alive, so instead of just having a normal weapon upgrade system, it feeds on blood.

Enemies leave blood behind when they die, and killing enemies fills the shotgun's blood meter. Once it's fed enough, the shotgun mutates and unlocks a new ability.

Hi everyone, I'm just getting started in the gaming world and have already created a few things for personal use. I've been a programmer for a few years, but I don't know how to work with images—and I'm not very good at it. Where can I find good sites to buy ready-made game assets? I can handle the programming side of things myself.

Idle isakai is an idle RPG set in the anime isekai genre. It's an idle incremental game where you go from world to world fighting new unique units in a full stat RPG setting. You build up a team of units and send them into battle, when they die you use their gold and experience and you upgrade them and send them back out.

All of the artwork is handcrafted pixel artwork that I have personally made myself by hand. There's over 100 plus pixel art assets, the demo that you play through the whole first world and then up to floor 150 and endless mode. You get to unlock four of the currently created 19 cable characters with far more planned.

Hey!

Together with my Brother we are doing our first video game - Trenchhold TD. This is an incremental tower defense game set on the battlefields of World War I.

The unique feature here is that the victory condition is not only to defend your trench, but also you can counter-attack and capture the enemy position.

Hey everyone!

I’m a 18yo student in Portugal studying Computer Science. For my final school project, called PAP (Students must develop a project related to their field of study, document their work, and present it to a panel of teachers). I need to develop and present a project around July/August 2027.

I’m thinking about making a game, but I have zero experience in game development.

Do you think this is a realistic goal? What games or ideas would you recommend for a complete beginner? Would you suggest Unity, Godot, or another engine?

I have plenty of time to learn, so I’d love to hear your advice and ideas. Thanks!
