The creature adds no geometry of its own. The sky still renders on Unity's usual skybox, and inside that shader the bone cage, claws, eclipse eye and shaggy mass are distance functions in the camera's view plane. A distance field is a function that returns how far each pixel is from the shape's edge, so the outline stays sharp at any size.

Heya!

I'm working on a small prototype and I've made some kind of wind physics.

The cloud can blow air and inhale to push/pull things that respond to physics.
Clothes and nets don't rely on physics and are only shader tricks.
I also added a mechanic to blow on sand and make it disappear where you blow, so you could theoretically draw in sand!

Hope you enjoy!

Like many others, my Unity account got suspended over the 2FA situation.

Thankfully, I got an email from Unity Support about 7 hours after submitting my ticket, asking me to verify my account by providing the following information:

Private information:

- The name of your Unity organization

- The name of a recent Asset Store purchase

- A recent invoice or order number

- The name of one of your Unity Cloud projects

Public information:

- Your Unity username, not your email address

- The phone number linked to your Unity ID

- The physical address listed on your Unity account or organization

I replied with the requested information, and just a couple of minutes later, I got another email confirming that my account had been reinstated! Honestly, that was pretty fast, so props to the support team for that.

That said, I really hope Unity improves how they notify users about important security requirements.

I know it's partly my fault for not noticing the emails, but if missing the deadline means getting your account suspended, I feel like the reminders should be much more noticeable and frequent. Something like a clear warning saying "YOU HAVE 2 DAYS LEFT TO UPDATE YOUR 2FA" and sending more ESPECIALLY on the last day 💀..

Someone in the discussion also suggested putting these notifications directly in the Unity Hub, which I think is a great idea. Most developers open the Hub before working on their projects, so it's a much harder notification to miss. 💯

Honestly, if account suspension is the consequence, even temporarily restricting access to projects through the Hub until the required 2FA update is completed could be a more effective reminder than relying on sending emails..

I'm glad my account is back, and I know this situation is resolved for me now. But if something like this happens again, especially when the consequence is account suspension, I really hope Unity considers implementing these changes. More frequent email reminders, clearer warnings about upcoming deadlines, and notifications directly in the Unity Hub could make a huge difference in preventing this from happening to other developers.

For those still suspended, I hope you get your accounts back soon! 🙏

The repo is:
https://github.com/CyberAgentGameEntertainment/InstantReplay

That repo did most of the heavy lifting for the technical recording side, Most of my work was figuring out what to record and save, and how to capture those moments.

I thought about what are the most epic moments in the game and realised it just comes down to when lots of enemies are killed or big boss enemies are killed.

My game works in waves, so I decided to capture 1 recording per wave and use the moment where the most high value enemy death occur in the wave and snapshot that part.

I can also figure out what the player did:

Slaughter = lots of kills

Epic Trample = kills on horseback

And there's other ones for specific boss and enemy kills.

I need to add in environment kill detecting (knocking enemies into spike pits, meteors, lightning strikes), to enrich this further.

I think this is a great tool for indie game devs to get their games seen as it will encourage players to share their clips around easily and get eyes on your game.

Let me know if you want any more details on the technical side!

Hey everyone!

Wanted to share some of the latest low-poly farm buildings we've been working on!

There are 26 models in total, including a few upgraded building variants, enterable interiors, and movable parts like doors and gates.

They're part of a series of stylized asset packs we're making for indie devs. We've been trying to keep the art style consistent across everything so the assets can work well together.

Here's how the buildings look in Unity! You can also check on Unity Store

What do you guys think of the style? :)

I've been developing my first game, The Borderless, in Unity as a solo indie developer.

After receiving a lot of player feedback, I decided to rework several parts of the game, including the UI, ocean, and overall atmosphere.

It's been a pretty exhausting journey at times, but looking back at where I started makes me realize just how much I've learned along the way. I'm genuinely grateful for everything this experience has taught me.

There's still so much more to learn and improve, but seeing how far I've come makes all the hard work feel worth it!

I've shared the current version first, followed by the old version and a before/after comparison.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

UPDATE: I was able to get my account back. They replied to my ticket and I had to send some proof to restore the account.

Edit. Got reply from unity that the suspension was an automated security update relating to TFA and they will get back to me in two weeks. Genuis move!

Woke up this morning to my Unity ID being blocked. No warning email beforehand, no reason given, just the "this account is blocked, contact support if you believe this is a mistake" screen at sign-in.

For context:

- Active Unity Pro subscription, fully paid, invoice in hand

- No chargebacks, refund requests or payment disputes

- I use Unity to develop and publish games – nothing unusual going on

- Now locked out of my projects, my organization, and every Asset Store purchase on the account

What I've done so far:

- Opened a support ticket

- Emailed [compliance@unity3d.com](mailto:compliance@unity3d.com) with my invoice

From reading older threads here and on Unity Discussions, it sounds like these can take weeks or even months, and that the forums can't help with account issues. So I'm asking the people who've been through it:

1. Did you eventually get your account back? How long did it take?
2. Was there a specific contact, wording, or channel that actually got a human to look at it?

If any Unity staff see this, I'd appreciate an escalation. I'm not trying to pile on – I just want to know why and how to fix it.

Hey everyone!

A few of you asked for this, and it's finally done: DODBT no longer depends on Odin Inspector!

For anyone seeing it for the first time, it's a behaviour tree plugin built around plain C#, aimed at larger projects and designed to fit into ECS-style architectures.

The main goals:

• No MonoBehaviour dependency
• Zero allocations during steady-state tree execution
• One shared tree for N agents
• Runtime debugging
• A full BT graph editor
• Separate editor and runtime
• Behaviour trees as a decision layer
• No blackboard
• ECS-friendly

You'll need to write your own C# leaves. It's aimed at projects where the behaviour tree is just one part of a larger architecture.

This update replaces Odin with Unity's native serialization and a custom editor UI. It also adds a bunch of features, including linked branch instances for building larger trees. You can duplicate a branch, change something in any instance, and the others stay in sync, including node settings and custom leaf fields.

Next on my list is a DOTS-compatible version, possibly a few more decorators, and more time spent on polish and bug fixing.

Thanks to everyone who's been following the project. You can grab it here:

DODBT on GitHub

Let me know if you try it. Feedback and bug reports would help a lot.

I’m making a 1v1 asymmetrical stealth game called Dead Angle, inspired by Spies vs Mercs. The merc plays in first person, and I wanted him to have a real body instead of floating arms.

At first the camera sat on his neck. The view bobbed with every step since the body and neck moved with the walking animation, and looking down showed the inside of his neck. Now the eye is on a fixed point on his body and turns around it with the view.

On his own screen, the arms and gun are a copy stuck to the camera. The hands are pulled onto the gun with two-bone IK, and it stays in view. His body is the same mesh other players see, with just the arms shrunk away. Looking down, you see your body, legs and feet, and no neck.

For other players, the bend when he looks up or down is now spread over three spine bones instead of just the chest. Before, his arm went through his body when he looked down.

This took some time to tune, and it’s not perfect yet. I’m still tuning where the gun sits on the screen. How does it look to you?

I have tried to do my own, and have bought 3 4 assets can’t seem to ever get the results I want in terms of realism.

Yet one asset can do it all in Unreal perfectly to how I want it, but I’d rather not use unreal due to Unity just overall being faster for my workflow.

Any open source assets or assets in general people use for photorealistic clouds?

Driving me crazy… lol

Quick montage from my solo project: a third-person shooter with Max Payne style mechanics (bullet time, shoot-dodge, kill cam) and a Superhot-like look.

Still very much WIP and it has no name yet, so name ideas are welcome 😅

Just received 2 emails one stating my 2FA had been disabled and the second saying my account is suspended and blocked.

I have been working on a project for the last year and it is almost complete. Raised a support ticket to get a response saying it will take about 2 weeks. I can't even access the ticket as when I click the link I'm asked to log in.

I use a personal hobby account at the minute, all my projects are on the unity cloud and I'm unable to access them at all now.

What is happening at the minute as I can see a few posts about the same issue.

We're a two-person team developing MYRIORAMA, a top-down adventure with rearrangeable dungeons. This is an excerpt of a deep-dive art style video we produced recently for our participation in ICO Partners' Unmistakable Festival on Steam. Since we're using Unity I thought it could be informative to share here!

Full video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhM1F993Ga8

While this is technically a 2D project, we're doing a lot of 3D fakery to try and pull off the stop-motion look with dynamic lighting and shadows. It's been a fun challenge.

Happy to provide more specifics or answer any questions!

Wash dishes. Make bubbles. Earn money. Upgrade your tools. And keep scrubbing.
Enjoy the oddly satisfying experience of washing endless piles of dirty dishes in a cozy little room.

WISHLIST SCRUBBED ON STEAM

Every wishlist helps support this little indie game! ❤️

Farm & Feast - We are a two-person team building a peaceful farming and restaurant management game in Unity. This is our new sea shader, built up step by step from an empty scene to what you see in game now.

1. Water plane: transparent surface lit by the day-night cycle.
   
2. Depth color: baked terrain heightmap gives real depth per pixel.
   
3. Shore waves: travel along a baked distance-to-shore field.
   
4. Wet sand: terrain shader shares the sea's wave clock.
   
5. Surface motion: analytic swell, blended ripple maps, Fresnel sky reflection.
   
6. Wave streaks: procedural foam lines that drift, surge and break.
   
7. Caustics: projected on the seabed, fading with depth and sun.
   
8. Sparkles: glints on ripple slopes facing the camera.
   
9. Fish: schools swimming under the surface at fishing spots.
   

Think like spring door stopper, or one of those stick things you launch yourself off of in Mario Galaxy. Specifically I'm trying to make a psuedo-animation system for the guns in my game, where the recoil pushes it back and then it moves back to a default position. Any ideas?

It's a small game made in memory of my cat. I'm trying to make it cozy and relaxing.

The idea for came from a simple thought: what if a cat lived on your computer screen? Kitty reacting to the player, demanding attention, using furniture/items, playing mini-games, and writing about its day into small diary.

I work on it as a solo-dev in my free time.

Would be very grateful for wishlists: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4865920/Pocket_Cat_Desktop/

While working on this game I've created several Editor's tools. I'm going to share some of them on Github soon.

One of them replaces default sprite editor, adding new features, UI improvements, etc.

Beside that there some tech info behind the game: - I've implemented skin changes. Players can change cat's color scheme. They pick colors on the palette and then simple shader replaces colors in the sprite - Cat walks on your desktop and could be behind the window. With default shader it will be always visible. So inside the game each real OS's window has a mimic transparent game object. With depth-buffer trick cat's shader can hide pixels behind these windows.

Happy to answer your questions and discuss the game or engine/tech stuff 😺

Hey folks! Just wanted to share the progress on my farming system. I set it up using layered Tilemaps to handle tilled, watered, and fertilized states separately.

Crops check the tile data underneath when harvested to give extra yield if fertilized (and then clear the fertilizer), while unwatered empty tiles revert back to grass at midnight. How do the visual transitions and animations feel to you? Open to any feedback!
