I was today years old when I learned to use Sub-Emitters did this with a Rigidbody for 15 years 🤦🏻‍♂️ The term "Birth" confused me, I thought it did ONE particle for each of the parent's particles (useless) But it's an EMITTER that FOLLOWS the parent particle, exactly what u want

GARBAGE COUNTRY has a publisher! Making a game is.. intense.. (a big game even more so.) For years you just work and the doubts and anxieties can really creep up on you.. it's so great to have someone in your corner 🥰

thing #124 I learned while making a car game for a "nitro" effect, literally all you need is speed lines + reduced FOV you don't even need to make the car faster

gamedev friends! please help! I am trying to export from blender (->fbx) A mesh that is PARENTED to an animated bone (not skinned!) I CAN'T find a combination of export settings that will. correctly position the object in Unity (the yellow container in the image)

Unity has a weird bug where if you change Physics-related things, it causes WheelColliders to drop through the ground 😂 tho: always kind of cool when a game gets to a point where all the fx apply to bugs too (screen shake, particles)

my day 1 advice for a new project: STOP USING STRING (for player facing text) Unity's LocalizedString is a drop in replacement! Unfortunately the UI is not quite "drop in", so I fixed that! It now looks JUST LIKE a string! (until you fold it out)

in games you often want sounds to emit from an area a quick hack: move 🔊 to the *closest point* inside assets exist for this, but I didn't like their usability/performance, so I built one it's a really nice tool even for non-audio stuff is anybody interested in the source?

being able to pop into a level at an exact location is so important and so common, you NEED a button for it.

always tricky to find like.. a gameplay purpose for this kind of fun stuff but maybe we just let it be fun? without making the player 'solve' something?

i always had struggles "dissolving" mesh particles, especially since in this game I try to have no alpha transparency progressive dithering doesn't always look good but i have a new trick and it's great! i just painted a super quick dissolve map in blender 😍 was so easy!

realized my "simple" AudioZone implementation needs HOLES the hardest thing was updating the Inspector/Scene drawing, and *drawing* those holes.. (so, NOT drawing them..) but with some stencil buffer magic: voila.

thinking about letting the player 'turntable' the car from the inventory reminds me of the 'garage' menu in racing games is it bad that it lets the player do instant U-turns, too? what do you think?

i'm extracting the #CloudGardens plant sim as an Editor tool for use in level design (removing all the game mechanics) would this be useful as a (free) Unity package? I know there are better vegetation growing tools out there... RT if you'd be interested

kind of amazing how just a little bit of springiness on the Y-scale makes it look so close to a 'real' cable (thanks to Adrian K. for the tip!) (+ added button to reel in the winch)

It's just scaling and LookAt()-ing a single object! no sines, splines or multiple segments! (added some extra geometry here to show the bounds of that object)

gamedev is being doomed to reinvent the wheel over and over.. except the wheel is fences so here's my fence building system swapping out configs 👌 should I release this?

so many little things go into making a game feel good.. these inventory items snap into slots, but they are still partly bound to the cursor positions so you don't lose 'connection' with them while dragging them around
