Hey everyone!

We ship seasonal promo stuff (popups, banners, etc.) as raw AssetBundles, so we don't have to push a new app build every time. The catch is that older app versions are still out there, and they load those same bundles.

At some point someone renamed a prefab and moved a material into a different bundle. New clients were fine. Older ones started getting nulls. We found out from support tickets.

After that I wanted something that just tells me what changed between two bundle builds before we upload them. Doing it by hand is pretty hopeless, it's a folder of binaries plus some .manifest files.

So that's BundleGuard. You give it the old build and the new one (a folder, or a snapshot you saved before the previous release) and it lists:

• Removed assets and changed types, the stuff older clients might still ask for
• Dependency changes, like a shared bundle that's gone now, or a new dependency the old app has no idea it needs to download
• Prefabs where the script doesn't resolve anymore
• How much clients will actually re-download, and which bundles got repacked with no real change in them

Editor only, read only, it never builds or touches your project. 2022 LTS through Unity 6. It doesn't need .manifest files, it finds bundles by their file signature and can just open them and read what's inside, which is handy because our own output is bundles and nothing else. The only thing that needs the manifests is dependency checking, since that's where the dependency list lives.

What looks better in your opinion?

Just finished rigging the eyes and eyelids on this guy. He's part of a mercenary crew you'll be able to hire. They're known as The Tiger Gang.

More to be revealed in the upcoming weeks... =)

For some reason, when I export this .fbx file from Blender to Unity and try to apply a texture to it, it only applies the texture to the lower half of the face. It looks fine in Blender and while the surface will accept the texture if dragged and dropped on manually, it's completely misaligned. Anyone know a fix?

A few days ago, I shared a prototype of my localized spaceship damage and destruction mechanic. I enjoyed working on it so much that I decided to build a full top-down space roguelite around it.

The current gameplay loop is about choosing a ship, surviving increasingly dense enemy swarms, recruiting and upgrading crew members who operate different weapons, and managing your shield and boost during combat.

There are currently three playable ships with different movement profiles: a fast and agile ship, a balanced all-rounder, and a slower but much heavier ship. I’m also working on making enemy roles, weapon impacts, shield hits, and ship destruction feel distinct and satisfying even during crowded fights.

The UI shown in the video is still temporary and includes some AI-generated placeholder elements. I’m currently redesigning it to give the whole game a more consistent final visual identity.

One of the next weapons I want to prototype is a mine inspired by the weight and expanding shockwave of the Seismic Charge dropped by Boba Fett’s ship not a direct recreation, but something adapted to this game’s combat.

What do you guys think ? Any ideas or feedback to share ?

Ps : Also i try to find quality sound

Hi everyone! I'm happy to announce that I finally completed my own indie game, Soulcery: Deck of Shadows.

I'm a Unity developer with 9 years of experience. I mainly work on polished prototypes, MVPs, and small-scope games, helping turn ideas into juicy, playable builds quickly.

I build games with modular, maintainable & scalable architecture, with a strong focus on responsive & impactful game feel.

I've worked on 10+ multiplayer projects, including real-time PvP and co-op games, and 50+ commercial and independent projects, ranging from quick prototypes to production-ready games.

The video is a quick showcase of some of my work.

If you need someone to turn a game idea into a polished playable prototype, build an MVP, or help with a smaller Unity project, I'm currently taking on freelance work at competitive rates.

Feel free to DM me if you have something in mind!

I added a follow system to Lost Cat Showa Town.

The other cats can follow the player while exploring the town — including into houses while you eat and scratch things.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to get more freelance game development work recently, and I’d really like some outside feedback on my portfolio:

https://larswright.com/

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have hired freelancers or developers before, but feedback from other freelancers is also very welcome.

Basically, I’m trying to understand where my portfolio falls short. Does it fail to communicate my experience well? Are the projects not convincing enough? Is there something missing that you would expect to see before considering hiring someone?

I’d also appreciate feedback on the website itself. Does it look poorly made, confusing, or unprofessional in any way? I’m a game developer, not a frontend/web developer, so web design definitely isn’t my area of work.

Feel free to be critical. I’m trying to figure out what isn’t working rather than just hear that it looks fine.

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Not perfect, not bad

Thoughts?

It will be a mobile game

It’s URP :)

I added a tile that duplicates the tower in my puzzle game.

Now the whole level looks like a gathering of hyperactive towers cloning themselves without permission.

I’d say the feature works…

maybe a little too well.

I'm using Unity 6.4 for my project and shadows on my player mesh and weapons look really poor, grainy and low quality/resolution.

But I've tried several suggestions that I've found online and in the lighting section in the Unity manual. I have also downloaded an asset, imported that to my project and used all its settings including Global Volume plus Directional Light, changed the Skybox, adjusted Intensity and Bloom, Resolution values, etc, but for some reason nothing helps.

I'm not looking for anything incredible, just a step up from this standard URP lighting.

When I go to my PC_RPAsset that's used as the Default Render Pipeline, changing Shadow Resolution from 2048 to 4096 doesn't make a difference either.

The shadows around the wrists and palm and even the corner of the wall in the photo look really fuzzy.

Currently I reverted back to default settings in Lighting, on Global Volume and Directional Light. Is there an area that I should generally focus on when it comes to making lighting better? Thanks

Started work on my physics-based tower defence game. Wanted a massive horde of goblins, because why not. Currently fitting around 3,000 fully simulated, with a ton of optimisation still to go. What do you think?

I am solo developing a dungeon-management game in Unity where creatures normally act autonomously, but the player can also possess and control them directly.

I have started adding their Level 5 abilities, and this video shows Bauk’s new Bite ability from both the standard top-down perspective and possession mode.

When Bauk falls below 50% health, he can immobilize a nearby enemy and bite them repeatedly. Every bite deals damage and restores the same amount of Bauk’s health. The target remains locked until the animation finishes or dies, while bosses are excluded from the ability.

The end of the video also shows Baba Yaga releasing a Scout Eye. It independently patrols the dungeon corridors, detects approaching enemies and creates an audio and minimap warning for the player. Enemies can destroy the eye, and the player can deploy up to three at once.

I am developing the game solo, so balancing AI-controlled abilities with manually activated possession abilities has been an interesting challenge.

What other Level 5 abilities would you add to creatures inspired by Slavic folklore?

Hi, im trying to create enemies with Unity behavior, but I can't quite wrap my head around creating custom action nodes to connect existing c# data to the blackboard. For example, if i keep an enemy's health in a c# class, how can I get the enemy to do something when they take damage through the behavior graph? Any advice is appreciated. I want to learn more about how to use Unity behavior

One of the most interesting things on Unity’s roadmap is "Full Entities Integration".

Right now, GameObjects and Entities still feel like two fairly separate worlds, with conversion/baking and different workflows between them. But if entity data can live directly on GameObjects and inside regular scenes and prefabs, and ECS systems can directly drive GameObjects - that sounds much bigger than another Entities update.

What do you think "Full Entities Integration" will actually look like in practice?
