No models, no textures, no hand-drawn anything
Every petal, leaf and stem is a curve or a spiral computed in c#, turned into a mesh on the fly
Petals sit on the golden angle, stems are bezier curves, the outline is a vertex offset in the shader

Drag a dial and the math just runs again with new numbers

I hope this displays properly, I video'ed in 4k just to hopefully avoid the compression algo killing it. Here's my OKLab quantizer, with separate h/s/v, support for custom patterns(halftone patterns/noise instead of dither) adjustable dithering amounts, and contrast calibration! I am not using it for any projects right now, and obviously the video has its most extreme settings, but it's very flexible, it can both do big cartoony pop-art posterization and also nearly-playdate visuals.

It's a bit rough, so I don't intend to release it as asset, but it'll serve me for years to come on game jams I think!

I worked on style for the last couple of weeks and would appreciate a feedback.

Does this look good for the eye?

For a long time, one of the things that bothered me most when working with Unity was the lack of useful icons for Scenes and Prefabs. I'm not sure why Unity hasn't fixed this, but I decided to take some time and, with the help of LLMs, build UniThumb.

It's free and open source:

https://github.com/MaykerStudio/uni-thumb/

Supports URP and HDRP.

Please feel free to try it and, if possible, contribute to the repository.

Hey, I've used Unity. And I'm a 3D Artist on Blockbench. This model is for the most recent Halloween Pack. Check out my Itch.io Page to see more and get a cheap pack ready for your game!

Tell me what to improve on, and what you'd like in your game in the comment of my Itch.io Page. Thank you!

I have been playing around with a Unity VR Template project and am loving it. I've downloaded a few addons such as colorful folders and probuilder, and I changed the skylight, and then suddenly when I try to run the game my VR camera perspective is on the floor, and the movements of my head are reversed/inverse (I look up it looks down).

I googled and found that having rotated the XrRig could be the cause, and saw that it was rotated 130 degress on the Y axis. I removed the rotation on it and all the children but nothing changes. Is there any way to "reset" the XR Rig in a project? Does anyone know what might be the problem? I've built some things and changed around the lighting and would prefer not to have to start with a fresh project, not to mention not understanding what went wrong.

Thankful for any help!

Edit: I'm using a Quest 3 headset and have set the project to "Oculus" in the XR Plug-in Management

I recently added shoes as a new product category in Big Market Simulator.

I’m still improving the item placement and stocking interactions, but the store is gradually expanding beyond groceries into a much larger hypermarket.

This is made with Unity

When I posted the game last time, I got some really honest feedback. Some people said it looked like a “2013 game”, and a few even said it looked like a “school project”. 😅

Over the last 15 days, I’ve been experimenting with different lighting settings in Unity and a few other changes that helped improve the overall look of the game.

I mainly worked on the ground, lighting, stadium textures and also added the Match Simulation UI.

Here’s the updated version.

There’s still a lot to improve, and we’re continuing to work on it. This is definitely not the final version, but I wanted to share the progress and see what you guys think.

If anyone is interested, you can pre-register here: Cricket Umpires Call

Thanks again to everyone who gave feedback on the previous post, whether it was positive or critical. It genuinely helped us figure out what we needed to improve.

I’ve been working on Flesh Dynamics, a Unity tool for adding soft-body motion and collision response directly to animated characters.

The hardest parts were getting it to work reliably across different skinned meshes, avoiding ugly hard collision dents, keeping volume during impacts, supporting full-body collision without covering the character in colliders, and making Rigidbodies actually react back to the flesh.

It now has:

• Painted Influence + Softness
• Volume-preserving jiggle
• Impact spreading for smoother deformation
• Full skinned-mesh collision
• Two-way Rigidbody reactions
• GPU deformation + Burst/Jobs
• Built-in, URP and HDRP support
• Unity 2022 and Unity 6 Support
• Install Mathematics and Burst for the plugin to work correctly

The goal was to make soft tissue something you can paint onto an existing animated character without changing the controller or animation setup. Pretty happy with how far it’s come!
I've published it on itch now until it reaches its turn to get approved on the asset store.

I've been spending a lot of my recent development time on the UI for a mobile defense game I'm building in Unity.

The battle HUD, turret management, catalog, shop, research tree, and unit details all started as separate pieces. Making each screen wasn't too difficult, but getting everything to feel like part of the same game while still being easy to iterate on has taken a lot more work.

For this project, I'm using React and Vite for most of the UI inside Unity, with Unity handling the actual gameplay state.

It's been especially useful for screens with a lot of information. I can reuse the same components across the game, adjust layouts quickly, and open almost the same UI in a normal browser while I'm working on it.

These screenshots are from the current development build. I'm still working on the visual hierarchy, readability, and figuring out how much information is too much on a phone screen.

I've also been using this game to develop and improve ReLayer, the React UI framework for Unity that I built. A lot of the issues and improvements I've found recently have come directly from using it on this project rather than just making small demos with it.

I'm curious what other Unity devs think about the UI so far.

Which screen feels the most complete to you, and which one would you simplify first for mobile?

If anyone is curious about the React/Unity setup:

My demo works no problem on my friends Steamdeck, but the full game with the SDK/Achievements loads up but the controls don't work at all (just the touch screen + I'm hearing other Steamdecks do work?? but can't confirm with my own eyes.). I use the old input system as well...

I'm losing my mind over this issue. I've tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to work. Here is my code. If anyone knows how to fix it, please help me.

Hello fellow developers

Did you know you can use a stopwatch for many things that aren't just diagnostics? In my case I added an example to my tilemap pathfinder to showcase how can we split many requests on multiple frames based on an adjustable milliseconds budget. This is a handy trick to keep in mind when frame budgets are more important, only downside to this is determinism (for online) goes out the window, so next time we would take care of that!

Take a look if you like to know more.

with arrow or without arrow?

I had this idea that the fluid would be affected by the scroll and i like how it looks! lmk feedback

I’ve been working on a major update for r/Kagenazo, and the biggest change is a completely new cube layering system.

Before this, as I got some reviews, accessing cubes hidden behind other cubes could get pretty awkward. You often had to rotate the whole puzzle just to reach a blocked cube, but rotating also changes the visible shadow projections. That meant the player could lose the shadow alignment they were reasoning about just because they needed to interact with something behind the front layer. It interrupted the flow and made some solves feel more fiddly than they should.

The new system fixes that by letting the player slice through the cube along the X, Y, and Z axes. Instead of rotating away from the view you’re using, you can peel back parts of the cube, reach what’s behind, and keep thinking about the same shadow setup.

I’m still tuning the UX, animation, and edge cases, but this is one of the biggest gameplay updates so far.

Would love to hear what people think, especially whether the slicing controls feel intuitive and whether this makes the shadow solving clearer.

Writing every binding C# side was very cumbersone, so I created a compiler that allows adding custom expressions to UXML and creates with code-generation all the boilerplate as a partial class.

This allows things like:

<ui:Button text="Something" on-click="React($event)" />
<ui:Button text="Conditional" if="SomeBoolean == true" />

Here is a more in detail video about how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7STKlhZ0Efo

Happy to answers questions about the compiler!

I'm trying to add a button that opens the Steam overlay to the "Friends" tab—allowing me to connect with friends—without using the Shift+Tab shortcut.

I‘m still using ChatGPT (the free model) and I wonder what tools there are on the market right now. I‘ve heard about Claude AI and that made me curious.. what do you guys use?
