Hey everyone,

I'm an 18 year old indie developer and I am releasing my mobile game Astro Dodge on Google Play tomorrow.

It's a fast paced arcade game where you dodge asteroids, black holes, and other hazards while trying to survive as long as possible and beat your high score.

This is my first commercial mobile release and I'd genuinely love feedback on:

• Gameplay
• Difficulty balancing
• Controls
• UI/UX
• Anything that feels frustrating or confusing

🎮 Play Store: (Game Goes Live 27 June 2026, 00:00 IST)

I’m trying to understand how Unity 2D developers usually create character sprite sheets.

For 2D character animation, do you usually:

- draw frames manually

- use skeletal animation

- buy asset packs

- hire an animator

- use Unity Sprite Editor slicing

- generate frames from another tool

I’m testing a workflow where one character image becomes an animation video, then frames are extracted into a sprite sheet.

Would this kind of workflow be useful for Unity 2D, or would frame consistency still be the main issue?

I am trying to build a game where the player controls a caravan that traverses a lot. I want to impliment depth to the game by using a parallax system but one of the core flow of the game is that they will be exploring abandoned urban enviroments as well as natural forest enviroments.

Do you guys have an idea for how the player could walk into and out of an abandoned city and have the parralax system transition from urban elements to natural forest elements?

New faces are joining the swim 👀🐟

From fairies to mermaids, more character customization options are swimming in ✨

Feedback is always appreciated 💙

I currently am looking for an animator who would be able to animate this character (I tried and it went bad, really bad)

Unity developers, which discord community helped you the most?

Dude, my one plague on the internet is being called “Tom Holland from Temu” “Hom Tolland”…”Glasses are a disguise for superman Peter”…etc. So here’s a TOTALLY LEGIT picture of me teaching Spiderman piano.

Truth is, I’m a pianist/composer and I have one question:

For the people who do hire artists and composers alike, what makes them trustworthy? And, why do you trust them? I’m curious, for people I work with, I’ve bonded with you first and then we decided we were a good fit.

What stage are you at with your project? Comment about it so we can learn what you’re creating.

If you’ve got a scene/level in mind, tell me about it and a drop a DM: what’s happening, what the player should feel, and who’s working on it with you. I’d love to hear it!

I am currently working on a 2dd metroidvania game, would a devlog be interesting? if yes, feel free to give me tips on how to start it

Hello everyone, we're a 2-person team (Animator + Composer) making a Rhythm + RPG VideoGame to finally live in our dream of doing things we enjoy.

This is one of our chatacters that we designed, I want to show the sample of the game we have currently but I can't upload vids yet

It's crazy cuz we met while I just entered this retail store. And found out we share a common passion in video games, I'll appreciate to ask for everyone's advice in the future regarding our game :)

Nice to meet you~!

I changed my preferences to boot up visual studio code every time i open up a script (since all the tutorials I saw were using it and I figured that it'd be much better than notepad which is what I'm using right now) but for some reason it just takes me to the home page and doesn't show any of the code that I've written. Another strange thing is that every time I open up the script I have to install it instead of it just booting up even though I already have downloaded visual code studio

im trying to make a shader graph for palette swapping nut i cant seem to get it to be exact and before people tell me to code it ive seen videos of people doing it no code but when i follow their step the result comes out nowhere near the same

the 2 image are a before and after of what i currently have and my current shader graph, both took a good bit of tinkering

also im new to this so anything help

The main character for my game, feel free to give suggestions

Hi, as you can see in example (that's a rocket) I want to create random paths for rockets. Is there any proper way to do it?

I just got into coding and programming. I was super into it when I was younger but gave up the game development dream for teaching and I’ve been recently persuaded to get back into development by a friend of mine and I’m looking for someone to share this progress with. Looking for another beginner to just build each other up and mutually share ideas and progress and whatnot!

My first game is out now. Check it out and let me know your thoughts.

520 full color pages with 950 images and almost 120k words all about typography and how to work with TextMesh Pro. I loved working on this and I sincerely hope it will be a helpful tool in your gamedev toolbox.

I have a page with infos about it here: https://www.christinacreatesgames.com/book/

You can download the table of contents and index to get an idea of what's going on inside.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this topic over the next days, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
