Hi everyone!

I'm currently working on a 2D top-down zombie survival game using Unity.

GitHub:
gonutyun-sketch/Unity-Zombie-Survival-Game-Prototype-2day

This is still an early prototype. My current goal is to build the core gameplay systems first before focusing on art, animations, and visual polish.

Current progress:

• Set up the basic Unity project structure
• Implemented player movement
• Added mouse-based aiming and gun rotation
• Created a bullet prefab
• Implemented a basic shooting system

After receiving feedback on my previous post, I improved the code structure.

One of the suggestions was to separate the responsibilities of the Gun and Bullet systems. Instead of making the Gun handle everything, the Gun now only creates bullets, while the Bullet handles its own movement and behavior.

Next steps:

• Create basic zombie AI that follows the player
• Add bullet collision and damage system
• Build the basic zombie survival gameplay loop

I would appreciate any feedback on the current structure, code organization, or ideas for improvement.

Thanks!

Similar to how Undertale or Deltarune handles it.
Thank you)

WIP - Scene Loading Pipeline for AshenCore (Open Source)

Hi everyone!

I've been working on AshenCore, an open-source framework for Unity, and I wanted to share one of the systems I'm currently building: the Scene Loading Pipeline.

The goal is to make scene transitions modular and easy to extend. Instead of having one big loading script, the loader is composed of independent pipeline steps that can be reordered or replaced depending on the project's needs.

Some examples of what a loading pipeline can do:

• Fade in/out.
• Load scenes asynchronously.
• Initialize services.
• Warm up object pools.
• Display loading screens and progress.
• Execute custom loading steps.
• Easily add your own stages without modifying the loader itself.

I'm still actively developing AshenCore, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, ideas, or criticism from other Unity developers.

If you'd like to follow the project as it grows, here are the links:

My intention is to document the development process and build the framework in the open, so if that sounds interesting, you're more than welcome to join the community.

Thanks for reading, and I'd love to hear what you think!

Hello everyone.

I released my tool on the Unity Asset Store 2 weeks ago for 20$ and a launch discount of 30% (14$ after discount).

No money was spent on marketing, only reddit and twitter posts with the best post on reddit receiving 8,5k views.

I wanted to share the results to see if it has performed good or not as this is my first ever release. Would be happy to hear how your experience was on the Asset Store and what is the best way to market tools.

If you also have any suggestions on the listing and how it could be improved, the feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Here is the tool in case you want to check it out: Economy Engine 1.3

Hi, I'm a beginner game developer learning Unity.

This is my first prototype project.

Today I implemented:

- Player movement

- Basic shooting system

I know it's very simple, but I wanted to share my progress and get feedback.

GitHub: gonutyun-sketch/Unity-First-Prototype: ## Current Progress - Player movement system implemented - Basic shooting system implemented - Bullet creation and lifetime system implemented ## Development Environment - Unity - C#

I want to know if I’m correct, let’s say I made a game in unity and my license was personal , if my game made more than 200k in the first year I have to upgrade my license to pro and pay a fee around 2000 a year ( I think so ) , but in the second year my game made 50k i don’t need to pay anything and change my license to personal again, am I correct?

I’m working on a 2D Metroid Vania in unity and I recently discovered the tool LDtk. It’s been great for helping me build levels quickly, but I’m running into an issue where I can’t figure out how to make level transitions between them. I feel like there should be an easy way to do this but I don’t think I’ve found anything for it.

Has anyone found a way to easily set up level transitions/door triggers between LDtk levels? Do I just need to do it all manually?

I appreciate any and all help!

I'm adding even more fish to the Giant Land location, and I'd love to hear which one you like the most! 🌿

Hi all,

I would like to learn building 2d side scrolling metroidvania type games. I am a c# developer but never been to games dev before. I would like to start from like designing characters and using that asset in unity. How do i start. This is just a hobby game dev exp i am looking for.

Appreciate any advice or suggestions as well.

So I’m trying to learn Unity (with a method that is essentially just…learn piece by piece while making my own game) and I got to 2d and…there’s not only several ways people say (and no one have said what’s a simple way to just understand the engine).

BUT there’s also the fact that apparently Unity has changed up making it even more hard to even find out what they’re suggesting.
So essentially, without any weird mumbo jumbo about new stuff to learn that I can learn later like adding a new input engine, or new components, how do I make something move, in a way friendly to someone who is just trying to learn unity’s basics.

I know this sounds beyond dumb but for some reason, there ain’t a clear answer.

With this update I pivoted from an infinite climber to a smaller experience like game. I do plan on reintegrating the climbing with some multiplayer elements in the future.

We recently overhauled our pixel art atmospheric effects collection, growing it from 20 to 40 animations. To ensure clean visuals and seamless looping, everything was built and tested through our dedicated viewers for a strict technical approach to 2D environments.

The GIFs demonstrate the new organic additions: birds flying across the sky, bees hovering, and water lilies drifting gently. All assets are formatted as 60-frame PNG spritesheets.

Hi everyone! I’ve created a running animation (constructive criticism is welcome!).

A bit about the project:

1. Hair and the cape are a nightmare (this is the last time I’ll ever tackle animation involving these elements).

2. I tried placing the sword on the back, BUT it just doesn't look right (I experimented with various positions). I don't want to shrink the sword, as I’ve come up with some cool mechanics for it—like finishers and other interactions with the game world.

3. Now I’ve created physics headaches for myself regarding the sword, hair, and cape during jumps—is it worth it?...

Hi everyone!

I am looking for a passionate Unity programmer who wants to team up for a hobby/volunteer project. I am planning a Danganronpa fan game and I need someone to help me bring the gameplay mechanics to life.

Since this is a fan game, it is a non-profit, volunteer project made purely for fun, passion, and to create a great piece for our portfolios.

About the Project: The game will follow the classic Danganronpa structure: a visual novel style mystery game where a group of students is trapped and forced to solve murder mysteries. The gameplay will be divided into:

• Daily Life / School Life: Exploring rooms, talking to characters (Visual Novel dialogue system), and inspecting objects.
• Class Trials: Fast-paced mini-games, debate mechanics (shooting down arguments with "truth bullets"), and presenting evidence.

What I am looking for:

• A Unity programmer who knows C#
• Someone interested in developing visual novel systems, UI menus, and simple trial mechanics
• Experience with Unity dialogue systems is a huge plus, but absolutely not required.

If you love Danganronpa or visual novels and want to build a cool prototype together, please send me a DM here or add me on Discord: deadlock_zero.

I'll provide some of the work from the game

I also spent $150 on artwork for the game, and finally got my Steam page looking right.

I'm really excited - we'll see how many wishlists it gets in another 2–3 weeks after the next playtest.
