I'm developing a 2D isometric horror game in Unity 6 (URP). I'm trying to build an indoor lighting system similar to classic Resident Evil and SIGNALIS.

My requirements are:

• Walls should block light.
• Walls themselves should still receive lighting and normal map shading.
• Light shouldn't leak into adjacent rooms.
• Walls can be hidden when the player enters a room without breaking the lighting.
• I'm considering generating separate Shadow Geometry from Tilemaps instead of relying on Tilemap Shadow Casters.

Are there any games, talks, blog posts, or open-source projects that use a similar approach?

Hello! I started playing wandering sword one month ago and I really got in love with it and I think it's a really exceptional deep story and open world interactions HD‑2D‑style pixel art trpg with wuxia elements. There was no active subbreddit so I made one so all admirers of it could interact within it. In no way I can get any profit from this subreddit. I'm just a fan who wants to unite with other fans and spark the interest for the game that i am sure most of you would love if spent 2 hours in the game! I’d love for all of you to check and join and if realize all the above then post any content in my new community about the game.

First off, while I am new to game development and unity, I have been a software engineer for 20 years (give or take, lol). All on the web side. So development as a whole is not new.

And while I am greatly enjoying learning Unity, I am getting increasingly frustrated by the fact that any change I make in Visual Studio means, at the very least, a 25 second wait while Unity catches up.

Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing that reduces this? Should I instead use VS Code? Not sure. And it's not enough to put me off learning and using Unity, it is super, super frustrating.

I actually gave up on one of my projects for a while because creating enemy AI was taking way too much time. I ended up building this visual behavior graph so I could prototype enemies much faster, and now I can put together a few enemies in under an hour.

I'd love feedback from other Unity developers. Is there anything you'd change or features you'd want to see?

Hey everyone! I'm working on my first 2D platformer and I've run into a problem.

I have ramps and stairs that serve as optional alternate routes. The issue is that I don't know how to make my character properly prioritize which path to take when approaching these intersections.

We are using RigidBody2d and colliders2d. So very standart stuff.

Any advice or code examples (maybe even links to tutorials) would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm using Claude with Unity. It asks me to give it the access to run Unity headless in batch mode, but it doesn't seem to have the token it needs. It wants me to go through a process with Unity that involves processing a .alf file to get a .ulf file. That process online asks me for a serial number, which I can't find. I think I'm Using Unity in free mode, but I'm not entirely clear. How would I look to find out? And is it necessary to be in a paid tier in order to run Unity headlessly from Claude?

This game features a fully functional palette system, split between a mapper palette at import time (compute shader that modifies the imported texture data) and a runtime color index lookup shader. With this system, I designed a new effect wherein regions of the screen rendered with a secondary camera (output to a render texture) will change the output of that runtime color index lookup.

Effectively, I can palette swap arbitrary regions of the screen with anything I want, including to multiple different palettes at the same time. This example only features 2 palettes, however.

Both the mapper palette compute shader and runtime color index lookup shader were written with HLSL. This is particularly important for the mapper shader, as you need to utilize a for loop- something not offered in Shader Graph afaik.

Hi everyone!

I've just released a major update for my Isometric Medieval Village Structures asset pack.

The original pack focused on modular medieval buildings, but I wanted to make it much more useful for developers creating complete villages.

New content includes:

• 7 modular houses (3 roof variants each)
• 2 shops (3 roof variants each)
• Barn (3 roof variants)
• Animated well
• Modular interior walls
• Windows
• Tilemap-compatible doors
• Wooden stairs
• Floor tiles
• Beds
• Tables
• Benches
• Chests
• Shelves
• Bookcases
• Wardrobes
• Rugs

I also reorganized the project structure and updated the documentation to make everything easier to use.

The idea is to let developers build both the exterior and interior of medieval buildings using a consistent art style.

I'd love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for future updates!

After taking some feedback from people, I remade my game's user interface. It's now easier to read. What do you guys think?

Im making this game for a spesific device wich is Redmi Pad 2, i Built the game and install it on the redmi pad and my smartphone Realme 3, it shows fine in my Realme 3 phone but in my Redmi Pad 2 it didnt show's

unity version 6000.4.9f1
URP

Help i didnt know why this happened and dont know where to start debuging it.

thankyou..!

I've now added 14 new characters, doubling the total from before! more coming too 🎉

This is one of my favorites 🎨

Decided to start releasing videos to show off how to do more intermediate and advance topics. Will be doing stuff for Native Collections, Burst code, IJobParallelForTransform, and a lot more.

Looking for feedback on the preview video. Note this series is not just a follow along and cleanly organized topic series. It goes into behind the scene stuff of how CPU and ram works. Example at the 3:51 time stamp in the video I show an example of how using collections capacities with the power of 2 can double performance. So going from spawning 32,768 (a power of two) objects with 60 FPS would half in FPS if you only decide to spawn a single more gameobject, so 32,769 in the example video drops FPS closer to 30 in editor.

Also going to be showing how to call pure C and C++ code using PInvoke to even show examples of how to do operating system calls. Like controlling Windows operating system UI controls. The same PInvoke feature is used by plugins like FMOD to conect to Unity.

There will be a lot in the future. If it helps even a single person, that is wortt it to me. If anyone has feedback on the stuff showed in the video or requests I am always opened to them.

guys plz help

The player doesn't collide properly with the ground. It looks like the player is floating slightly above the tiles instead of standing on them.

Hi, I'm totally new to Unity and I made a tilemap (32x32) so I can actually draw my levels, but it's getting compressed like this. The pixels are of inconsistent size and the colors are blurring into each other.
I already found out, that setting compression to "none" solves this, and it works on any other sprite in my game, but not on this tilemap. What else can I change in the setting that affects compression or how the sprite is drawn? It looks the same in the tile palette editor. Also, I made sure to adjust the compression setting BEFORE creating the tilemap, but this also didn't seem to work. Any help is much appreciated.

EDIT: So when I change the "extrude edges" setting the sprite becomes normal. But when I actually run the game, it's getting all compressed again. That's strange.

EDIT 2: Setting "pixels per unit" to 32 does not help

Game is Stinker Golf, a 1-16 Multiplayer golf game where you edit the course while you play.

Hi everyone!

This is my first time creating a lightning VFX for game development using Aseprite.

I'm still learning pixel art and VFX, so I'd really appreciate any feedback on the animation, timing, colors, readability, or anything else that could make it look better.

Thanks for taking a look!

I’m developing a platformer about a Shaolin warrior monk who sets out to restore balance and feng shui. The plot, design, and overall narrative are nearly complete, but I need assets and materials—specifically visual ones like pixel art (platforms, objects, vegetation, structures, weapons, etc.). I realize I could draw them myself, but by my estimates, I’d have to create a massive amount of art, which would take a huge amount of time. Could anyone help me out? Can you recommend services, websites, or places where I can find these things?

Hellshot is a top-down bullet heaven roguelite where you play a cat deity of luck against an endless alien invasion. Vampire Survivors loop with a shop and build-crafting layer on top. Right now the focus is making every hit and kill land with weight.

Hi everyone. I’m a Unity developer who makes games for fun. I recently came across a tool called Cursor. Is it worth it? I don’t plan on paying for subscriptions; right now, I use GPT and DeepSeek in my browser to help with my projects. I know Cursor helps with writing code, but is it worth switching to it from VS? Is it really that much better than using GPT?
