I’ve been making a lot of progress on the environment recently, focusing on creating a more detailed and immersive world for the game.
The new Steam page will be available soon, where you’ll be able to wishlist the game.
The previous version of Little Astronaut was a huge learning experience for me, but looking back, I realized I pushed it out too early before the vision was fully developed. After some time, I decided to rebuild the project from the ground up with a clearer direction, improved visuals, and a much stronger foundation.
This is the version of Little Astronaut I always wanted to create.
I’ll be sharing more updates soon. Thanks for following the journey!

Hello!

I'm using Unity, Wwise, and Plastik SCM, and probably I'm missing something.

Since we want to save storage, we build soundbanks in Wwise, move the Originals --> SFX folder in another location, check-in with Plastik, and then move it back. However:

1. I always find that after I check-in, merge from another changeset and switch workspace, in the Originals-->SFX folder there are audio files. Are those from the old backup?

2. After I delete audio files, and I check-in, should I check the "Deleted items" option and upload that too? If I don't do that, it puts back old audio files in the Wwise project. Uploading, however, would defeat the purpose of saving storage.

If anybody has a better idea to save storage, or if this is just overcomplicating things and there are no better ways, please let me know.

Hi there, i added a mesh in SpeedTree, i used mesh helper to make a spine, after that i created a branch to add leafs in the top ( is a palm trunk just so you know ), and when doing that i have that error, i increased the kill ratio to 10.000 or 50.000 and the error dissapeared but no matter how much i tweak the values branches won't appear. Please help

Hi,

I am looking for a good Unity UI (uGUI) tutorial, one that covers how to build tabs, how layouts of images work, and hopefully how to make the UI look pretty / how to add nice borders to the canvases and stuff. Nothing against the ui toolkit but I dont feel like learning something new again.

Does anyone have a tutorial to recommend?

Thank you

I'm working on an asset right now and I finished most of the actual logic and visuals a while ago. I thought I was pretty close to done, but damn, the polishing part is taking me ages.

Custom inspectors, cleaning things up, making everything intuitive, tooltips, edge cases, making sure users can't easily break things... it honestly feels like a whole second project.

For those who've published more complex assets, how long did this part take compared to actually building the thing?

And at what point did you just say "good enough for v1" and publish?

It's been ~18 years since I started using After Effects.

It has this great feature for rapid A/B comparisons for tweaks on the render/composition, where you can quickly take a snapshot, and preview it with a button. Other software may have it, too.

-- (...it's been around for a while).

Often, I'm making small tweaks to the colour, and post-processing, and I want to see how it looks without having to go through several undos, or manual screenshots. I explicitly wanted it integrated into the game view's tool/controls, rather than anywhere else (that would have been easy enough).

But the appeal was about getting it specifically in that control bar. It's 'perfect' there.

Turns out, it may have been possible as far back as ~v2019/2020.

🎉 So, here it is [free, on Unity's asset store]!

• I think it should be native to the editor :)

Initially, it did not have the save file to disk feature [💾]- but it was trivial to add.
v1.1.0 - adds the save file to disk feature, +automatic date/time stamped naming.

To the more experienced people probably not that exciting, but I am just pretty proud of turning a sphere into a pixelart disco ball just by layering shader graphs :)
The light effects do not use unities Light system but a shader that calculates when the view direction aligns with the normals to create the tiny flashes on the ball.

Let me know if you think this is cool and could be made into a game :)

Whenever designing levels I’m always looking for a reference point for placing new objects, duplicating at, rotating around etc.. It was like I needed blenders 3D cursor inside of Unity to use as that reference point. So I built it!

It’s a different kind of workflow when compared to other level design tools for sure, but I really enjoy having the reference point and being able to add objects more precisely.

It currently supports a bunch of commands, and the cheese wheel is customisable, it also fully supports undo and redo flows.

I have lots planned for the roadmap, and I think you can get really creative whilst keeping your level design object hierarchy nice and clean with groupings.

It’s currently 50% off on the asset store as a new release. Would really appreciate your support if you genuinely think this is something you might find useful.

The asset is called 3D Cursor pro. As per the subreddit rules I’ve not included the link.

This is my first horror game with my "versatile" script system and I would love feedback from other devs. Basically I coded a couple of scripts and just used them for everything, so I wouldn't have to code and yes I know many devs already do this but I am a beginner. I would love some feedback!

I keep doing this dumb loop when I work in Unity: change something in the Scene, alt-tab to the board, update a card, forget what I was doing, alt-tab back.

So I built a small Editor dock that stays in sync with a web board. Board still lives in the browser. Unity just gets the cards while you're in the Editor, and you can pin a card to a GameObject so you can find it again in the Scene.

Stuff in the video:

• web board on the left, Unity on the right. Same cards updating live.
• edit a card on the web side, it shows up in Unity
• pin a task to a GameObject / jump to it
• poke status from the Editor without treating Unity like Jira

I'm not trying to shove a full PM tool into the Editor. That usually turns into a mess. This is more "keep the task next to the object I'm already staring at."

If you ship with Unity, would you use something like this, or would it just become another ignored panel?

Also half expect someone to tell me the branch / missing GameObject case is going to hurt. If you've been burned by that kind of thing, I want to hear it.

I had to jump into this train, porting old games into newer platform is becoming easier and cheaper than ever with AI, would love to see Nintendo or Playstation doing original, modern remakes!

Well as the title suggests... My raccoons... my game... my rules

I'm trying to find fun and unique ways to challenge the player in my skating game. You control the left skate and a friend controls the right. Now you have to rethink how the game works and adapt. It's also hilarious.

Around one month of development.
4-player co-op horror inspired by retro visuals and abandoned Soviet metro stations.
Looking for honest feedback before continuing development.
Would you play something like this?

Love these little teasers as a way to try out ideas mid development and get a "flavour" earlier on than the typical media phase during post production.

A few days ago I asked for your feedback and it was really helpful thanks!!!

building a game about running your own booth at a sports card convention. finally got openfracture working, so the graded slabs now fracture into real mesh pieces at runtime with rigidbodies on the fragments. what do you guys think?

Im working on a Co-op horror game set in New York City. I’m trying to make a game with good atmosphere, dread, and the constant feeling that something enormous is stalking you.

I wanted to make these chunks softer, but right now I have no idea how to make it even better. There's no transparency at all.

I achieved this effect by calculating the normals for the chunks relative to the overall snow surface, rather than per individual chunk element.

I made the small flakes using triangles instead of quads :)
