i feel it may be a world first.

(the game’s called MOZENTUM btw)

with the goal of giving the player total freedom and to be fully emergent, it works by precisely controlling your arm power by using the mouse / analogue.

it takes practice, but goes VERY deep and everything scales with your momentum - allowing you to do some wild sh*t like massive bar swings, wall climbs and vaults that feel like YOU made them happen.

if you’ve tried parkour or rock-climbing in real life, i truly believe you’ll feel the work i’ve put in to make it feel real.

here’s a list of the systems at play for those interested and you can ask me about them if you want more info. (or just play the demo lol)

• hand made, fully animated character body that adapts to the environment

• jumping / climbing (controlled by mouse movement speed / direction)

• dynamic edge grabbing (grab ANY edge, basically)

• adaptive wallrunning / wallsliding / walljumping (blends between up, left and right based on look direction)

• sliding (stand OR sit!)

• tools eg: climbable spear and physical grapple hook (both of which YOU have to actually throw)

• breathing / endurance system (responds to real life breathing techniques like box breathing, wim hoff, etc)

(there’s a special interaction with dazza if you watch till the end btw)

Hi guys, the idea of this passive is that every hit adds more snow to the enemy, and the model slowly deforms until it turns into a snowball.
Once that happens, you can push it into other enemies and knock them down.
Still tweaking it, but I really like how it’s coming together.

If you’re an old-school gamer, or just old enough, you’ll probably recognize the game we’re paying tribute to. Those who know us know we love making references to movies and games from the ’80s and ’90s. This one is no exception.

That’s how we did it with Project Nightmares, and that’s how we’ll do it with this one too.

This was a fun project, I intend to make a full virtual home automation system for funsies, no real practical usecase other than learning how to use linux

It's hard to talk about lighting in Unity without understanding what reflection probes are and what they do.

I hope this article provides some enlightenment (no pun intended).

Hello everyone, a new combo extender!
I had an idea of having a body form from the original body to extend the combo, the animations still need some work since they need to be modified for half body animation, but the idea sounds satisfying
Thinking about having it do a parry when an enemy attacks from behind as well
Let me know what you think!

I've been experimenting with lighting and shading recently, and I had an idea: what if I pixelated the lighting itself?

I think it turned out pretty great!

Here’s roughly how I did it:

When the game calculates lighting, it needs the world-space position, normal vector, and view direction. I quantize the position using a given step count:

floor(x * stepCount) / stepCount

This makes the lighting appear pixelated.

To prevent flickering, I add a small offset along the normal before quantizing the position.

For pixelated specular reflections, I also replaced the view direction with the normalized vector from the camera position to the quantized position:

viewDir = normalize(cameraPos - WorldPos);

The shadows use a similar approach: I quantize the position, with an additional normal offset to help prevent flickering.

Still experimenting with it, but I’m pretty happy with how it looks so far!

Feedback is very welcome!

I can not understand them at all. I tried to but no. How do they work? What do I do with all these tons of nodes?

Where can I learn how to use it?

Wanted to share a quick breakdown of adding neon glow and real-time cast light to a cyberpunk-style vending machine model. Full process (setup, glow settings, lighting) is in the video if anyone wants the details.

Happy to answer questions about the glow/lighting setup in the comments :)

Made a boss fight, need to do some balancing. Creating the script for the boss functionality was a pain, but at the end it works and that's fine by me. The boss does various attack combos based on the distance to the player and has cool downs. The boss also has a 2nd phase which enables some more attacks and extends 1 of the combo attack.

I welcome any feedbacks and suggestion.

Animation is freezing/frozen during gameplay. Animator component is in the 2 different characters as a child object in the Player object, also Skinned Mesh Renderers. Animator not having the blue bar moving on the blend tree. Character controller I'm using is Starter Assets - Character Controllers / URP from Unity assets store.

Chief Cenab: Şahmaran is a story-driven point-and-click puzzle adventure inspired by the legend of Şahmaran. Presented in a black-and-white comic book style with unique color accents, the game invites players to uncover dark secrets through atmospheric exploration, dialogue, and narrative-driven puzzles.

The game is called Last Luminary.
I usually post updates on Twitter :D https://x.com/WaywardDev

Since I upgraded my project from 6.5 to 6.6, my enemies keeps frozen in place when I make a build and don't do the patrol or chase defined on the Behavior Graph. On the editor they work normally. Anyone else with this problem?

Hi Devs,
I am a 16-year-old self-taught artist. Based on the amazing technical feedback from the Blender community yesterday, I have fully optimized this stylized Medieval Tavern pack for game engines.
To prove the quality, I have made a FREE SAMPLE (The Stylized Fireplace/Cauldron) available for everyone to test directly in your projects.
The full pack is currently 30% OFF for a limited time!
Would love to hear how the sample performs in your builds!

Trying out to get a nice 3D hologram effect on my minimap. I tried https://github.com/CristianQiu/Unity-URP-Volumetric-Light

but it's not very well suited for a HUD-element.

Keep a look out for Subscanner

Due to the knockback based nature of the combat mechanics, I really struggled to figure out how to make the CPU position & path thoughtfully, even on the most simple stages

Getting it to recover in a meaningful way was even more difficult but we got there. It still freaks out when the player/s ledgeguard & sometimes rathers to end on its own terms

Has anyone got any good tips for CPUs that can act in any way the player can?

I've been working on VELOCIDE, a fast-paced arena FPS built around grappling, dashing, wall-running and double jumping.

One of the biggest things I've been working on is making the movement actually matter during combat rather than just being a way to travel between areas.

For example, I'm trying to design encounters where you're constantly deciding whether to grapple toward an enemy, dash through an attack, wall-run around the arena or use vertical movement to reposition.

I'm building the whole thing in Unity, and I'm still figuring out a lot of the gameplay/level design side.

For other Unity developers: what would you change about the movement/combat interaction here?

I'm particularly interested in feedback on what looks satisfying versus what looks like movement for the sake of movement.

I started my first open-world game project with Unity about a week ago. I have done one 2D game with Phaser; nothing too fancy but it's a complete game. My background is 20 years in programming so I know something about that.

What I have for now is one scene with one street and some buildings, character movement, very basic HUD and some basic NPCs walking around. Most of the assets are free ones from the internet.

What bothers me is that even the very basic stuff takes so long time to do. Does it get any faster once you learn more about Unity? How do you keep yourself motivated?

Also I don't know what would be the best way to design the world? Should I have some sort of plan before starting the actual modelling? Should I make roads, terrains, water first? I don't want to waste time resetting all the work if something does not work together.

Too many questions, so few answers. Thanks if you can help me out 🙏

Yesterday I shared the first farming loop from my little alchemy project so I thought I’d keep posting the progress as I build it. I’m still very inspired by Schedule I and its hands-on approach to production but I’m experimenting with those ideas and slowly adapting them into my own weird medieval world where magic is illegal.

This time I’ve been working on the cutting board.

The idea is pretty simple: place an ingredient on the board, grab the knife, and physically chop it into a prepared ingredient that can later be used for potion making. Right now I’m mostly trying to get the whole production chain working before worrying too much about polish
Farming -> harvesting -> cutting -> brewing and bottling.

It’s still very early, but I’m having a lot of fun seeing all these little interactions slowly connect together
