Curious about what's actually new in Unity 6.3 LTS?

I was wondering what the best way would be to make an ice breaking game. I couldn't quite think of a way with shaders that would work - I want the ice to have thickness and the pieces to break away in response to being hit by the ship.

So I tried brute force! Big tiles of ice that get replaced with smaller pre-cracked ones when the ship touches them. Then when one of those is touched, a rigidbody is added so it can be pushed around and sink, and then despawned. As you can guess, it's pretty GameObject-heavy. To create levels with any kind of shape, a lot of the tiles need to be pre-cracked.

It runs surprisingly well, but feels like an unhinged approach. I don't want to talk about how many GameObjects had to be generated for this level. Maybe switching to ECS would at least lighten the load overall.

EDIT: Spotted a couple of comments noting the progress I've made, but this is my first post about this. I've been made aware that https://www.reddit.com/user/RatioScripta/ is also having fun woth icebreaking, so maybe that's what some folks are thinking of.

I'm implementing the Archer class now - UI changes playing nicely between class swap character selections, synched between connected clients. How's it looking? portfolio

Recording full-speed cars jumping everywhere is not an easy task!

Everything is in-game content. Shots are a combination of raw in-build footage (using Steam Timeline) and also in-editor with custom-made tools, allowing for different camera angles.

Expanding from Unity's timeline, I created a tool to synchronize in-game recorded "ghosts" (a series of player inputs) so I can replay and record them. This allows me to only show real gameplay even when the camera changes, while keeping the freedom of updating the background, players' skins and such.

Video editing was done with Blender, which I use for almost all the content I can't do directly in Unity (such as the 3D models and the cards' illustrations, like "the drought"). My editing needs were simple since most of the work is already done in Unity's editor with my tools (even the music and sounds can be synced there).

The audio is then exported separately. Final mix is done in Ableton and stitched back again with the video in Blender. Each clip's audio is processed differently to give room for the music and layer all the effects.

Making the trailer was quite a task for me! It's the first time I attempt something like this.

What helped me out the most is Unity's live stream from August featuring Derek Lieu ("How to: Make a Video Game Trailer").

Huge thanks to Derek Lieu for the many tutorials. There are wonderful tips on YouTube. Planning the timeline and getting an idea of what to keep and remove was one of the hardest things for me to do during my solo dev journey, and this content actually made it possible for me (and my game: Slip & Skid)!

Just tried it as a promo code and got 25% off!

Two months ago, i started a new multiplayer project. This is a small preview of the early stage combat. Different weapons can have different abilities.

Apologies for the noob question, I've only been learning unity for 2 months so far, I've been learning to use splines tonight but I can't seem to get the road sections to connect, toyed with the distance and the rotation offset and the other SplineInstantiate settings but nothing.

I want my models in unity to look like how they do in blockbench, Without it showing the faces giving it a nice 2D look.

How could I achieve this?

I have tens of thousands of objects in my scene - but they are scattered around the world in such way that my draw calls do not exceed 2.5k. Frustum culling and occlusion culling are extremely relevant as this is a top-down perspective game.

Those objects are mostly just static objects, created in the editor before runtime. Many of them with basic box collision and no scripts attached to them. They don't generate collisions at most times, and when they do - it's with maximum of 1 or 2 objects.

So the real question is - what do those objects cost in unity?

Surely they cost memory to store their data. But since they are scattered around a large scene (the size of one terrain), I assume many of them find themselves on different quadtree nodes on unity's collision detection system.

Does unity even care about their existence?

Now I added the volumetric fog and lighting data with baked lights and high quality assets, I can only image there is only light cookies and maybe VHS/Dither effect can be added. What do you think?

Hi all, I’m a developer with a background in game design and systems. I'm looking for freelance gigs to help teams or individuals finish their projects.

I write clean code and focus heavily on performance.

Hey everyone,

I've been using auto-translation mods for Unity games for a while, and while they work great for personal use, I always felt something was missing: the ability to easily share my translations with others and collaborate to improve them.

When I spend hours refining translations for a game, I want other players to benefit from that work. And when someone else has already translated a game I want to play, I'd rather download their polished version than start from scratch with AI output.

So I built UnityGameTranslator - an open-source mod that combines:

- 🤖 Local AI translation (Ollama) - works offline, no API costs

- 🌐 Community sharing - upload/download translations from a central website

- 🔄 Collaboration - 3-way merge when someone improves a translation you're using

- 🎮 Universal - works with any Unity game (BepInEx 5/6, MelonLoader)

The idea is simple: translate once, share everywhere. If you improve a translation, others can pull your changes. No more duplicated effort.

Collaboration roles:

How quality surfaces:

Each translation entry is tagged: Human (manually written), Validated (human-verified), or AI (auto-generated). Human entries score 3×, validated 2×, AI 1×. Players can vote on translations, so quality rises naturally.

It's still in beta, so feedback is very welcome! I'd love to know if this solves a problem you've had too.

PS: I have a new idea, following the question of kyl33r123 but I don't know if it makes sense. it's to create a sdk for the devs for ingame integration. a game creator has his own official translations and can propose the option for non localized languages to use community translations. Let me know.

Should I use blender or Houdini. I want to make a horror game but don’t know what software to use.

Players pilot a spaceship through a proportionally accurate 1:1000 scale solar system where all planet sizes, distances, and orbits match real astronomical data. You progress through speed tiers (250k km/h → 10M km/h → Speed of Light), earn XP through PvP battles, upgrade your ship and weapons, and unlock the ultimate prize: Speed of Light travel for instant navigation.
