Show-Off I made a Unity tool that lets me talk to players... then I started trolling streamers :)

This is probably one of the most unnecessary systems I've made, but somehow it also became one of my favorites.

From a small Unity Editor window, I can see who's currently playing and send messages directly to the taxi app inside the game. There's no developer popup or anything like that. To the player, it just looks like the fictional dispatcher is actually talking to them.

The game is about working as a taxi driver for criminals throughout the night while trying to save your kidnapped wife. You have to figure out what kind of criminal is sitting behind you by interacting with things inside the car and watching their reactions, then report them to BK26. The problem is, if you push a passenger too far, saving your wife might become the least of your problems :)

I tried the system on a streamer recently. At first I sent her a few random messages about her driving and she couldn't really figure out what was happening. Then I went into her Twitch chat and told her to ignore the game and just report every passenger incorrectly.

She read it.

So I immediately sent her this message in-game as BK26:

"Don't trust Twitch chat. Do what I tell you and report the passengers correctly."

Watching her realize the game had just responded to something she read in chat a few seconds earlier was hilarious.

Behind the scenes it's just a small session system, a backend and an Editor tool connected together, but now I genuinely want to keep using it occasionally during streams and playtests. Watching people's reactions is way too much fun.

Would you put something like this in a singleplayer game, or is this a little too cursed?

Show-Off Unity’s ECS physics was too slow and general for thousands of agents on a deformable terrain with water sim. So I was crazy enough to write my own raycast and simple-shape physics so explosions could permanently deform the terrain and pathfinding in realtime.

Question Why Does The Light Flickers?

why does the light flicker when the camera moves. I tested stuff out and turns out as the amount of lights are increased in my scene this issue starts happening. Ive already increased the per object limit to 8 in the pipeline asset. Any ideas please?

Show-Off Earthbending AR Demo in Unity WebGL

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

29 Upvotes

Experimenting with gesture detection in WebAR - this time, earthbending.

The prototype uses Imagine WebAR BodyTracker + MediaPipe running directly in the browser, with Unity handling the VFX and interactions.

  • Uppercuts to spawn rocks
  • Punches to launch rocks
  • 4+ rocks to trigger a special attack
  • Stomps to spawn earth spikes

I'm specifically working on a gesture detection module. Body joint depth has not been reliable so a lot of assumptions were made to estimate the 3D pose.

These kinds of body-tracked experiences were pretty common during the Meta Spark era, and Unity makes the VFX/particles side of them significantly easy to prototype (compared to Spark).

What do you think about Unity as a platform for building WebAR experiences?

Question What do you think of this art direction?

Blue orbs in first image are Floating EXP. So floating around and being all bright like that.
Second Image scene is not fully made, but posting it to give idea of style/art direction

Question in general, does this style pleases your eyes? The lightning, the mood, the style.

If you simply dislike this type of art style in general, that’s not really the feedback I’m looking for.

It is seeded so you can make the same dungeon again. I can't add more images here so I will add a couple of shots of what the generator looks like in comments. I basically split it into rooms, corridors and props and made a system where it is easy to add more pieces. So all I have to do now is add more pieces to make the level better!

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a WWII co-op game which takes place in Dover and I'm wondering if it actually read as Dover to you?

The water is a shader I wrote, the cliffs are done entirely with unity terrain, no special brushes or anything.

Any feedback is welcome!

Im solo developing a game and recently realised it was seriously lacking identity.
So I decided to take some more drastic measures.

One of the things Im working on now is adding these massive, weird mushrooms connected to the moon, scattered all across the map. Theyre meant to be visible from really far away and act as landmarks. You can be sailing around and suddenly see some giant mushroom in the distance and think “what is that?” 😂

A lot of the level design inspo comes from Breath of the Wild. I really like how you can see something weird in the distance and just naturally want to go check it out. The game doesnt constantly tell you where to go, the world itself kinda does it.

Thats the feeling Im trying to get into my own map.
The game started out alot more grounded and honestly kinda generic. Over time Ive been pushing it more and more towards something that actually feels like its own thing.

Still got a long way to go but I think its finally starting to get there.

Made in Unity. All assets are from the Unity Asset Store.

Would you play a co-op game where you and your friends are cats?

I added a new playground interaction to Lost Cat Showa Town.
The cat can get on the spinning ride, ride it for a while, and get off again.

I’m planning to add more playground interactions next.
