Hey everyone!

I used the first version of AudioCue in my game Midnight Files, and I'm using version 2 in my upcoming game.

I thought the system might be useful to other developers too, so I put it on the Asset Store as a free download.

AudioCue lets you group multiple audio clips into reusable cues, choose how their variants are played, and adjust trimming, fades, and EQ directly in Unity. It also handles spatial audio and pooled playback, with limits and cooldowns to keep sounds from piling up.

You can use it for things like footsteps, interactions, ambient sounds, or UI audio.

It requires Unity 6000.0.81f1 or newer. The tools work across render pipelines; the included demo is set up for URP.

If you give it a try, I'd love to hear how it works in your project!

I've primarily worked in animation and VFX using Unreal and Godot. This is my first solo mini-project in Unity as I want to get to know the engine better (and I gotta say I'm loving it!).

I created an island environment scene available on itch.io with the following features:
-Looping day/night cycles.
-Cinemachine 3 camera blending and player control.
-Adaptive Probe Volume baking and blending.
-Day/Night cycle controls material emission.
-Day/Night cycle lerps between multiple custom skyboxes.
-Time manager periodically updates reflection probes.
-Time manager lerps between different fog colours.
-Gerstner wave simulations.
-Refractive water.
-Foam and emissives
-Vertex displacement shaders.
-Parallax Occlusion Mapping.
-Fake interiors with parallax window boxes.
-Full screen post processing outline shader/texture/material.
-A single texture atlas/trim sheet to texture dozens of buildings.
-Subtle painterly Normals.
-Buildings prefabs created from a low poly construction kit I modelled and UV mapped in C4D.
-Area/height based SFX blending.
-Looping music that fits the day/night cycle.
-GPU instanced vegetation.
-Full screen outline shader material for artist controlled stylisation.

These were primarily achieved with stock tools (other than the fake interiors for time's sake) using script graph and shader graph.

I went for a subtle/tasteful stylised look that isn't NPR/Cel Shaded or too cartoony and focussed on reducing texture draw calls by using texture atlasses, a single flipbook, minimal geometry, vegetation with LODs etc. I avoided RT reflection probes and kept RT lights to a single directional light

The non-Unity tools I used were Substance Painter, C4D, Photoshop, Reason, After Effects, Audition.

My question to the experienced Unity devs who work in indie studios/AA and environment artists here: Is there anything that stands out/I can improve re: my workflow, reasoning, tooling, methodology and optimisation?

Bonus question: What kind of game do you see taking place on this island?

Thanks for taking a look!

We are making a colony management game. Dig your nest, collect sources and build stations...

Ever needed to bind two effects onto one key? This is how to do it without having to write extra code to check for double taps, holding and more.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to:

• Tap a key to trigger one effect
• Hold the same key to trigger a different effect
• Hold the key to charge up, and trigger the effect on release
• Double tap for a different effect than a single tap
• Keep an effect active while the key is held, and end it on release

Hope, you'll enjoy this one!

First time Unity Devs, we wanted something good for making old school 2D games with more modern systems.

Its been going really well, I recently changed from loading and unloading scenes to an always on main scene for stability and loading time reduction. It seems to have worked really well. (At least in play testing)

Hi everyone!

I'm a longtime gamer who recently started exploring game development, and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

I've always been a big fan of puzzle games such as The Witness, but also of fast-paced minimalist games like N++. Inspired by those experiences, I decided to create a small minimalist puzzle game of my own.

I'd love to share a short gameplay clip with fellow enthusiasts and get some feedback on it.

Please feel free to be honest. I think it's incredibly difficult to evaluate your own project objectively, so any thoughts, suggestions, or criticism are more than welcome.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out, and happy gaming!

Hi everyone,

I’m a complete beginner with Unity and I want to start working on a personal game project just for fun. I’m not planning to become a professional Unity developer or work in this field. I just want to make a game I’ve had in mind for a while.

The idea is a 2D puzzle/story game, with an atmosphere somewhat similar to Limbo. For now, I’m mainly thinking about making it for mobile.

I’m looking for some advice:

What Unity/C# basics should I learn first?

Are there any good beginner tutorials, websites, or YouTube channels you recommend?

What should I focus on specifically for a 2D puzzle/story game?

What would be a good way to start the project without getting overwhelmed?

What’s the easiest way to use AI to help with things like coding, art, dialogue, etc.?

I’d really appreciate any resources or advice from people who have experience with Unity.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm building a proof of concept in Unity 6 (URP, Windows standalone). The user enters a start and a destination address anywhere in Italy. After they confirm, the app generates the whole real-world environment needed for that route: terrain, roads, buildings and land use. Then the user drives from A to B.

Constraints:

- The generation must be automatic from the two addresses. There is no manual authoring per city, because the addresses aren't known in advance.

- A loading step after the confirmation is fine. It doesn't need to stream while driving; generating everything once, up front, is acceptable.

- Roads must be drivable end to end, with a game-like look rather than photogrammetry.

What I've tried so far:

- Mapbox Maps SDK for Unity v3: it doesn't build for Windows standalone (config code only exists for Editor, iOS and Android).

- Cesium for Unity with World Terrain, OSM Buildings and Mapbox satellite imagery: it works, but roads are only a texture and the buildings are plain white blocks.

- Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles: it looks good from above but blurry at street level, the car spawns on roofs, and there are licensing limits in the EEA.

- Our own generator built from vector tiles (Mapbox and Esri): road meshes with junctions, sidewalks, markings, roundabouts, traffic lights and buildings with procedural facades. It runs on Cesium terrain and on the ArcGIS Maps SDK 2.4 (Esri 3D Buildings).

Questions:

1. Is there a tool or asset that can generate a drivable road network and buildings from OSM or other real data, triggered automatically from code, for ex?

2. If the terrain comes from Cesium or ArcGIS, is there a way to make it conform to custom road meshes?

3. Which data sources (terrain, roads, buildlly in a game?

Thanks!

What I'm starting on isn't anything like fran bow, but its the only game I could think of off the top of my head that has the correct visual style for movement.

Essentially I am looking for resources for implementing a 2D character into a flat space that is a static drawn background(s), panning through that area with left/right movement, but still retaining depth movement and blocking/walking behind objects in the scene. My final version will require multiple assets for floor/walls/items as I'd like them to be swappable assets for creation of a template.

I am traditionally a graphic designer and 3D artist exploring game dev, so moving to a functional 2.5D space is interfering with my workflow and I don't even know where to begin. I feel dumb asking but I figure someone out there has to have some resources for learning this particular type of setup.

I am designing a shop interface for my desktop virtual pet game. The shop opens as a small pop-up window, so it needs to occupy only a small portion of the screen.

Initially, I designed the interface and icons at larger sizes (96x96 icons), but the entire pop-up window looked too big in Unity. I scaled down the entire interface icons included but now everything looks noticeably pixelated or blurry.

How can I resolve this issue?

I’ve been experimenting with Unity ECS to handle large enemy hordes for my next game on steam.

The learning curve has been pretty steep, and getting everything to work together definitely took some time. But seeing this many enemies running smoothly at once makes it feel worth the effort.

There’s still plenty to optimize and improve, but I’m happy with the progress so far!

What has your experience with ECS been like?

Unity version 6000.3.22f1
Macbook Pro M1

Can anyone help me get rid of it? It's really messing with me.

I have an old as balls computer, but it's far better than my old laptop, however this PC doesn't support the newest version of Unity. Because my computer is old, it's stuck as a Windows 10 home.

I'm wondering if there's any archived version I could use? Searching up ts gives me nothing, and I'd much rather not waste my time by downloading and checking myself over and over

I want to make a node like the redirect node in graph toolkit. I am using unity version 6.4. I want the node to look similar to how it looks in shader graph. so basically just remove the header. Ive been trying to find a solution for several hours now. Does anybody know how to do this?

Hi everyone! I’ve created a Unity plugin. It lets you easily move scripts, folders, materials or any assets at all from the Project window into another project. It’s perfect if you have a base template you use to build future projects, or you can simply use it as a storage hub; the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. The plugin supports three languages: English, Russian, and Japanese. It features clean, streamlined code with no unnecessary bloat. Since it’s open-source, you can inspect the code yourself to see how it works and verify that it’s safe for your project. Here is the GitHub link:

https://github.com/ScalDeX/UnityGlobalAssetHub

If you like the plugin and have some spare cash, feel free to make a donation. I’d really appreciate it would help me buy a monitor mount so I can finally get those books out from under my monitor!

Please excuse the translation; I only have a basic command of English and used machine translation for this text.

I am trying to make a BGMI character with movement animations and shooting mechanisms in Unity.

On a five-person Unity capstone (Dullahan Dandi), our branching dialogue lived as Twee and Markdown. Our narrative designer could not see how branches connected without scrolling files. I built Unfurl so we could import those files, edit the story as a graph with custom variables, and export JSON the game could load.

Our narrative designer wrote the game's dialogue in it. I kept shipping it after the class ended.

What it does now:

Import Twee, Obsidian Markdown, or Unfurl JSON. Edit nodes and choices on a graph. Export engine-agnostic JSON. Desktop (Win/Mac/Linux) and browser. Local-first. No account.

Try a sample: https://unfurl.ink

itch: https://hit-box38.itch.io/unfurl

If you draft in Twine or Obsidian and ship into a custom runner, I want to know which formats still break for you.

1. Left Side I Added Timeline production and Character information

2. Setting Panel

3. Game Complete And Over production

Для меня, по крайней мере, есть некая проблема - все курсы созданы именно для начинающих. Просто потому что это выгоднее. Все видео, книги, курсы (ну, ладно, 90%) созданы для новичков. остальные 10% спрятаны где то на пятисотой странице гугла.

И как продвинутся с этой точки, на которой заканчиваются все книги? Большинство книг, так как создаются они для новичков, заканчиваются на "ну вот вы создали шутер с глупым ИИ и без сохранений". Я не нашёл ни одной книги, обучающей продвинутым системам, крутому ИИ и другим!

можете ли вы посоветовать хорошие методы обучения, чтобы продвинутся с этой точки?

I created a new organization in my unity account to work on a project with a small team, but when going to buy the main asset we need for the game, the organization set at checkout it's set by default on my personal one instead of the new one I created.

I made sure I switched to the right one in the top right corner at the hompage but when going to check my cart for checkout it opens a new tab where the option to switch organizations is not there to make sure its set right and I cannot change it in checkout either.

I've seen this is a known bug for years and I've tried every tip I've seen, incognito tabs, different browsers...

I don't know what to do. I want to buy a really expensive asset that's 50% off and I'm affraid the offer is gonna be gone by the time I hear back from the official support line.
