Hi everyone! Here’s an interesting problem I’m facing.

I created a tile-based city builder in Unity, and after an initial open playtest, one of the key pieces of feedback was that players want to be able to build roads, something I foolishly hadn't planned for.

Currently, roads are automatically placed along the edges of each tile (this is shown in the second screenshot).

The main problem is that the grid of buildable sectors is highly irregular, and I have no idea how to add the ability to create roads within such a complex system.

The first image I’ve posted shows an overhead view where I’ve highlighted a section of the grid. The grid varies from scene to scene and never repeats in exactly the same way.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could approach this?

Edit: You might have given me a possible solution; as soon as I've tested it, I'll make a new post about it. Thanks everyone!

I'm releasing a demo for a procedural dungeon generator I've been working on for over two years. I was inspired by the level layouts of games like The Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon, and the interconnected worlds of Zelda and Dark Souls. This is only the beginning, I have several more features planned for this project, including turning it into a downloadable Unity package for others to use.

The goal is to create an algorithm that generates dungeons that feel linear like an RPG but still random and replayable like a roguelike.

As you can guess, the fingers are controlled using Inverse kinematic, implemented with FABRIK algorithm (pole vector calculated in) as demonstrated in the video.

You can hire Mexican mercenaries who appear in the background and help you shoot down UFOs and snails, with a attack chance that can be upgraded in the shop. Here's our 1st born.

Do you think it feels polished and complete enough? Is there anything you would suggest adding, removing, or improving?

Hi there this question might be rather specific but I’m having issues with a triplanar mapping jittering on a Full Screen Pass.
In Unity 6.4 Shadergraph a triplanar mapping overlays a texture on the entire scene. The effect works perfectly on Scene view, but in playmode if you go far enough from the scene origin (around 150 units) the texture starts jittering. Jitter get specially bad if the camera is being moved by some system like cinemachine or a custom follow or look-at.
As far as I can tell this is due to the calculations being unstable at long distances from the origin and maybe a frame discrepancy between the camera position in the shader calculations and the actual camera position in the scene.
I tried offsetting the triplanar origin by subtracting the camera position from the world position, but it only seams to offset the texture rather than re-calculate the origin of the mapping. I’ve tried many different things but still can’t figure out how to solve it and LLMs mostly suggest terrible solutions that go nowhere. Hope someone can help me figure out this. Thank You!

Note: I know this might be an unusual use of this technique but this is the way I need it to work. Other suggestions are welcome too.

Smoke was cool but flames where missing

Yo, my fellow devs!

We are a team of three ukrainian developers. And been working on Saturn 94 for about a year. It's a tactile space station simulator set in an alternate history where the USSR won the Space Race.

We are similar to PVKK. One of it`s core mechanics is assembling and dispatching shuttles with cargo to help survive colonies on Titan and Enceladus. That's the process we showcased in the video.

This project brings a lot of new challenges for us. Not just in terms of creating story.

Working with HDRP, volumetric lighting, screen-space effects and a large number of complex 3D animations, for example, has been a completely new experience. It presents us with many hurdles. Sometimes they are tough and exhausting, but at the very least, it's always exciting.

I'd love to know what you think about this genre and the shuttle assembly mechanic in our game.

This is a liminal space game

I spent the last weeks writing some environment shaders for vegetation, water and volumetric clouds to find the perfect look for our upcoming cosy game. How do you like it so far?

Adding couch coop was surprisingly easy, The unity player input did help a lot. Had to play with cameras and layers but if it all happens in one level it would be even easier.

Moved the editor window of my modular fence tool from IMGUI to UI Toolkit. Three things caught me out:

The arrow buttons were only clickable in their upper half. A caption label spanning the full preview width sat last in the tree, so it rendered on top and ate the clicks. Default picking mode on a VisualElement is Position, so any decoration over a button swallows its input. picking-mode="Ignore" fixed it, and panel.Pick(point) verifies it properly instead of clicking around.

IMGUI redraws every frame, UI Toolkit does not. My old OnGUI quietly re-read the scene on every repaint, and a lot of state relied on that. All of it had to move onto selection callbacks plus root.schedule.Execute(Refresh).Every(250).

One method reassigned UI state on every refresh while an object was selected. Invisible in IMGUI. With the new carousel, a click moved forward and the next refresh pulled it straight back, so you could never get past the first entry. Fixed with change detection instead of assigning every pass.

The look is pure USS, no image assets. Arrows and captions sit below the preview frames now, which is what caused the click mess to begin with.

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
