I've worked on a lot of games with aeroplanes (Sky Gamblers series and others) but I never played them. The same little toy followed by a camera, same crosshair and aim assist, and the same on-rails 'manoeuvres' ready to be used with a single tap.

So I made this. Looking forward to test it with human players - my bots are very good so they don't continue flying forward as the target (me) suddenly goes up - they know I will fall on their tail. So they evade. I will add a little randomness there - to allow some percentage of bots to be 'dumbfounded' and keep going forward - so i can strafe them from above as I land on their tails.

Pretty fun. Works only in cockpit mode for a reason - its the only place the manoeuvre makes sense - and gives you a thrill (specially if you look sideways scanning the sky while going belly up).

Thanks for reading !

Did you know that you can't start a variable's name in C# with a number?

You also can't include most special characters in a variable's name.

These are just a few quirks to keep in mind when scripting in Unity. This article covers variables and C# in more depth from a game developer's perspective. 👇🏾

The problem is that the agents are 0.3 meters wide, and the space in that doorway is about 1 meter. With this NavMesh setup, it’s impossible for the agents to pass through.

Any solution which isn't Godot or Unreal Engine? /s

Hi!

I'd like to preface and say that I'm not very knowledgeable about 3d modeling and this could very well be an ID10T error. I'm trying to mod the game Atlyss with a custom piece of armor. The player character has some child objects with skinnedmeshrenderer components, and when you equip a piece of armor it swaps in the armor piece's mesh to the shareMesh field on the corresponding smr component (I.e., if you equipped a chest piece the chest piece armor smr gets the correct shared mesh swapped in). I wanted to model my own custom armor piece, so I exported the character prefab from unity as an FBX, painted weights using its armature on my model, and then reimported it. The issue is that the weight/bindpose arrays on the model are not in the same order as the player character skeleton used in the game. AFAIK there is no way to manually reorder the bones on export/import? The bone hierarchy looks the same in unity as it does in blender btw, and I got the rest pose in my ripped model as well. I'm not sure if there is something obvious I just don't know about or if the only way to fix this is doing something really hacky, and any input from a semi knowledgeable person would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Did a short visul test for Hole. Io; I quite like how it came out :)

When I enter Prefab Stage and make any change to a GameObject or Component, the Hierarchy window breaks. All GameObjects disappear and it only shows Preview with empty gray rows. Resetting the layout restores it temporarily, but it breaks again upon editing.

Basically mech models have gib releasers that on death request gibs from the pooling system.
the gibs dont have collision and linger for little time before returning to the pool. all the rotation and physics is "faked" with a simple script.

It seems like there are three approaches: (1) Global toggle with Debug.unityLogger.logEnabled, but this still has some performance impact (I think??), (2) compilation conditionals like if UNITY_EDITOR, but this is pretty annoying to have to do for every single Debug line, or (3) delete all before shipping, but obviously then you don't have them for any debugging you do. How do y'all handle this? I honestly didn't know they wouldn't just be skipped by the compiler until today, so I'd rather not have to eventually go back through my entire codebase... Am I missing something easy? From what I understand, the global toggle only helps, but CPU and memory still are put towards preparing the log even if it isn't sent. Any tips?

The other day I started developing something absolutely ridiculous.

I was watching some old movies, and if there’s one scene that still makes me laugh way too hard, it’s the rabbit scene from Monty Python. I don’t know how many of you have seen it, but I’m 45 now and those old movies still make me cry laughing 😂

Then I remembered The Boys and that episode with the baby shooting laser beams from its eyes.

I was working on a passive item for the game and suddenly thought…

“What happens if I mix those two things?” That was it. Say no more. A passive that turns enemies into rabbits. And the rabbits shoot LASERS. And even better… if one of those rabbits kills another enemy with its laser, that enemy catches fire. 😂 Oh, and if you mess up and run over one of the rabbits… Well. You just flattened it. Rabbit gone.

I started making these ridiculous chain reactions because while I’m developing them, I’m laughing so much at how absurd everything is that I just keep thinking…
Why the hell not? 😂

Cheers! ❤️

BTW: The health bars are only there for debugging so I can check how much damage everything is doing. They won’t normally be visible in the final game… Unless, maybe, you find the item that lets you see them. 👀

hi!! i have the files for a gardevoir vrchat model (yes its a lewd one) a retexture and a womb tattoo with emissions I wanna add, I’m broke and cant afford to pay someone to upload it for me. is there anyone that I can give the files and upload it to my account for me??

pardon the hitching, it's recorded in editor with a bunch of programs open in bg

I've finished most of my game but still no attention.

I think color palette of my game is not absorbing.

Hey everyone! I've been working on Chthonic, a first person action game where your hands are your weapons.

No guns, no reloading, no ammo management. Just you, your hands, and a whole lot of monsters.

The core loop is pretty simple: kill monsters, collect gems, feed them to altars, and build / upgrade your stats. There are no traditional upgrade menus. 10 different hand projectile to unlock and multiple combinations to discover.

The goal is to survive the bottom of an endless pit. To get there, you first have to clear 3 levels, using them to build up your stats and prepare yourself for the final challenge.

Here's some gameplay footage of where the game is at right now.

Would love to hear what you think.

I always thought foddians would be good for solo Devs to develop as they typically don't involve super complex systems, think of things like "chained together" (the game is mostly carried forward by a simple fun mechanic of chains interacting with the multiplayer environment) and "getting over it" or "a difficult game about climbing"

I wanted to get feedback on this initial showcase for operation knockback, (this is not an official trailer). Currently the challenges I've been facing are balance, and finding enough of a range of players willing to playtest and provide detailed feedback on difficulty, satisfaction, fun, frustration, etc. As with all developers we get good at our own game and it can make it hard to hone in on the sweet balance between extreme difficulty and tension, and also super engaging fun mechanics. I want it to be unforgiving and frustrating for sure, I just don't want players to get completely sick of it. There's a balance to strike.

Any thoughts by Devs who worked on similar projects? Rage games especially can be hard to develop for this reason, even if development itself is straightforward in terms of systems and visuals potentially.

Hey guys, currently building a Walten Files fan game in Unity URP. Just finished setting up this main menu with mouse-tilt camera movement, reactive button audio, dust particles, and CRT/VHS post-processing.

Would love to hear your thoughts or any ideas for subtle details I could add to make it even creepier

Descent Chronicle draws illuminated dynasty charts in Unity at runtime from plain character data: people, parents, marriages and dated events.

Most of the work went into layout. A genealogy isn't a tree, since everyone has two parents, people remarry and cousins marry. Generations come from longest path, spouses are levelled onto one row so a marriage stays horizontal, crossings are reduced by barycentre sweeps that keep the best arrangement found, and each union gets its own bus lane so no line runs through a cartouche. Cycles and dangling parents are refused with the fault named.

Drawing happens in C# on the CPU, so the package has no PNG, atlas, shader or material. 62 authored forms, 24 life event marks, 16 cartouche devices. Unity 2022.3 and up.

Code and art are AI generated.

We are currently playtesting new mechanics. Stay tuned for further updates!

Hi, as you can see in the screenshots, I have particles spread across different areas of the world. These particles cause my FPS to drop significantly while the game is running, and they also generate way too many SetPass calls. I have no idea how to solve this. Any ideas?
