unfortunately it's been rebranded to proper discussion. we have nowhere to redirect the ai bros now

aside from /dev/null i guess

oh carp. thanks for letting me know

[lofty jackal]

hello

[storm patio]

hi, this is not a social space https://nohello.net
if you have a question, feel free to ask

[lofty jackal]

Is it possible to utilize a GUID to determine which asset pack something is from

[latent meadow]

so you mean, you have an assets from an asset pack that exists in your project, and you are trying to determine which local pack it is from, or you mean, in general, for some unknown asset pack that you have an asset from?

[lofty jackal]

in general for an unknown asset pack

there is music in a old android game, I was able to decompile the game and find a low quality version of the music

[storm patio]

you'd have to search the entire possible space, and if it's from some arbitrary asset pack, you'd have to search through every asset pack that's existed before

[copper gust]

we can't help you with that

[lofty jackal]

ok thx

[viscid lance]

Does anyone know how to use game modeling swapping?

[worldly cave]

Can you clarify?

Are you talking about modding existing games to swap models

[viscid lance]

Does anyone know how to swap a skin model in a Unity game?
Like replacing an existing character skin with a different one (for example, putting a Spider-Man model on top of another skin). I need help with the model swap process.

[worldly cave]

If this is for existing Unity games and not your own

We cant help you

Theres no modding talk allowed in this server

[viscid lance]

Oh ok:(

[viscid lance]

If I just want to swap the character model using Blender (keeping the original rig and animations), can you help me with that process?

[worldly cave]

It wouldnt be a unity problem then, so not really

[viscid lance]

Is there anyone I can talk to about this? I’m looking for someone who understands model swapping, rigging, and transferring weights in Blender.

[storm venture]

anyone have a game idea to make

[sacred sparrow]

you decide what you wanna make

[latent meadow]

maybe look into #🕹️┃game-jams

[near wigeon]

combine mechanics from games you like into one game

[storm venture]

um no i am asking players what game i should make now i want to fulfil their ideas not mine bro

[copper gust]

gamers dont know what they want

[near wigeon]

so then ask on a gamers discord not gamedev

[storm venture]

brother i am asking developers because they have better idea for whats possible

[worldly cave]

You just said you were asking "players"

Which is it

[latent meadow]

it's a bored rando. next he is probably a producer too

[worldly cave]

Heres an idea

[near wigeon]

also the fact you wanna cater to gamers and not your own passion / art is sad

[worldly cave]

Gorilla tag fan game

Never done before iirc

[latent meadow]

but seriously, the advice to ask on an appropriate server was valid and true

[worldly cave]

Youre better asking people who actually play games

I doubt most of the devs here even play a lot of games anymore, myself included

[tulip pilot]

Hi everyone,

I’d like to hear your thoughts on how profitable Unity assets are these days — what types of assets perform best and whether it’s still a good market to enter.

I run a small studio focused on web development (websites and apps) and also manage a team that produces paid scripts for Garry’s Mod. I’m looking to invest time and resources into something more scalable, such as Unity assets.

Open to collaboration and would really appreciate any insights from people with experience in the Asset Store.

[near wigeon]

If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it lol

[storm patio]

if you make something you don't want to make you'll just burnout before you get anything done

[tulip pilot]

I’m not saying it’s easy)

[storm venture]

why i want to make that the community want

[storm patio]

the "gaming" community wants everything, because it spans all genres

[latent meadow]

i do not think anyone here has access to the actual numbers, so it is all speculation. it can be profitable though, for sure.

[storm patio]

last time i looked this up, the most popular category had a share of <20%

[near wigeon]

" hey guys how do I become a successful millionaire "

[latent meadow]

dude, just make a million dollars + 1. pfft. 😄

[storm patio]

just make what you want to make, there'll be an audience if you do it well. and you need passion to do it well.

"i want to make what the people want" is not a realistically attainable goal. define it on your own terms.

[ocean pumice]

It rather depends on what asset you are going to make and what the target group WITHIN the unity dev audience is. If you make the next AVPro renderhead competitor, there will be an audience for sure for example. But it highly depends on what is currently trending in case of mechanics, visual styles and what not. Also tying yourself to one engine might already limit your income while other big asset publishers cover more engines and platforms.

[pearl oyster]

It's very difficult to jump into asset store publishing from the outside especially for scripts, because most obvious needs have been fulfilled already long ago by people who have actual gamedev experience and know what to make and what the actual need is. It's easier for multimedia assets where you can have infinite variations of the same theme that will always suit the style somebody's looking for. But publishing the 1000th FPS movement script doesn't really have an audience

[ocean pumice]

It also relates heavily on the human resources you got. You can start solo developing somethign and never catchup with the fast paced technical changes that happen while you are still figuring out the core. So there are many many values to consider before even starting one line of code or art creation

[deft rock]

The majority of people who buy assets are hobbyists.
There are probably 1% of publishers on the store who do it for a living, everyone else is doing it as a side hustle.

[crimson vigil]

i only have Inputer Manager selected

[worldly cave]

To be fair it does depend on the asset, like im sure a lot more than hobbyists are buying stuff like odin or a tween library, or A*

[tall hearth]

Interestingly enough i got odin through unity's education license but this ended months ago now and i still got odin from it for free with no information on if it'll ever end

[latent meadow]

make sure to read the odin license. it is not just a purchase and forget. they want a piece of your profits.

[worldly cave]

Depends on the license terms i suppose

Odin or the educational license might have a clause for that

But i guess for non-commercial stuff you might be in the clear

[tall hearth]

This assumes i make money

Then again im curious how often companies that buy these report their profits correctly let alone at all

[deft rock]

Odin does most of their business off store, selling direct to businesses.

What I stated is direct from conversations I've been part of and seen, as a publisher, in the publisher discord.

[worldly cave]

Til Odin sells directly off the store too, didnt know Unity allows that

[deft rock]

Enterprise licenses

Unity cannot stop you selling off store

They sort of (sometimes) might enforce price parity

[tall hearth]

Was gonna say i figured most people selling assets sold them on both itch and unity's store

[worldly cave]

This was what i was thinking off

[copper gust]

when you make good money no point keeping them in the cut if you dont have to

[worldly cave]

I assumed they wont let you sell it for a significantly reduced cost compared to the asset store, Steam used to do this too

They might still do

[deft rock]

It's a standard practice for most places

[worldly cave]

Just checked, steam still enforces it but only for steam keys

[copper gust]

theres overlap but its abit different cuz steam in this case is public and person by person where as a odin deal with a company is in bulk and more private

im assuming

[worldly cave]

Im comparing steam and unity here

[pearl oyster]

Yeah it's usually related to selling redeem codes for the store. For example you are allowed to sell for $1 on Itch and $100 on Steam, but you can't give out a Steam code with the Itch purchase. I assume it'd be the same for Asset Store

[deft rock]

The asset store doesn't have codes, you can get 100 vouchers per year and they're not for selling

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! What games are you developing right now in Unity for Steam? If yes how's the marketing so far?

[tall hearth]

What?

[boreal river]

Do you have any game that you develop for release on Steam?

[bitter panther]

no.

[bitter panther]

i am 13 year

[old thunder]

is there any simple way to change the background color of the inspector when you are looking at properties of a prefab vs a gameobject? it would be kind of handy to see at a glance, maybe its because im new to this but sometimes i mean to edit a prefab but i accidentally edit an individual game object instance of it

[boreal river]

I was just wondering how's the marketing, if you have any games for release, because in my game the marketing isn't fine yet. I got like 100 wishlists only and my game is in alpha stage of development no demo yet

[boreal river]

Does it matter?

I know kids like you are making their next dream game on steam XD

[bitter panther]

no

[boreal river]

Motivation and willingness

two things you really need without them you wont do anything

[copper gust]

motivation is a trap

discipline >>

[boreal river]

yes I know

I mean when I see cool games from other devs I am really getting the motivation

like a lot of motivation

Thats the reason why I cant play games

XD

[bitter panther]

I am a professional programmer and I have created artificial intelligence websites and games. I am from Egypt.

[boreal river]

I lost my interest on games when started working on games 3 almost 4 years ago

because I always think why not to bring my own ideas and games to life instead of playing other people games, I always have this in my mind and thinking of it

Thats why I got bored of games XD

[boreal river]

Thats the most important thing that keep me motivated

[stuck flower]

You said you are 13 no?

you have 13 years of experience and in the industry or what?

[boreal river]

[bitter panther]

no

[boreal river]

Visual Scripting for traditional coders will be a hard concept to learn btw thats from my personal experience especially in Unreal Engine XD

[rugged forge]

Where can I ask questions about what a certain mechanic is called or learn how to do it? (New here)

[boreal river]

AI

[charred fog]

Sure, here is fine.

[rugged forge]

I would rather ask someone who maybe knows..

[primal creek]

it depends on the mechanic itself. if it's animation related, go to #🏃┃animation , if it's code then #💻┃code-beginner etc.

[rugged forge]

Thanks ill try code beginner ty

[boreal river]

What exactly do you want?

How to implement a specific system in your game?

Its code-related question

so yes probably #💻┃code-beginner

[primal creek]

they already got an answer

[boreal river]

but dont forget there is AI as well that can give you some explanation like for the logic you can get

[copper gust]

please dont

[boreal river]

Just do not copy paste 🙂

[charred fog]

@boreal river Keep the channel on topic, please

[boreal river]

Yes I answer the questions.

[primal creek]

if they wanted to get AI help, they'd do it. they came here for a reason :P

[charred fog]

@boreal river And if you want to recommend people to use AI, do it somewhere else as well

[boreal river]

I remember we had this conversation one day

ty

[broken rover]

Sent this at 2AM, apologies for being vague

What I meant is: generally, what are common approaches to this problem, or can it be treated as simply not a problem at all?

[worldly cave]

Seems as simple as adding a cooldown to whatever slide mechanic you have.

Whetever it is a problem is entirely up to you to decide

[broken rover]

Fair enough, but unless the game is weighty, do most platformers like celeste or hollow night actually have a cooldown? Doesn't it rid of the "responsiveness"

[worldly cave]

Play them and see

[broken rover]

I recognize how vague I'm being and I apologize. This is largely just game design. I'm just looking for general opinions

[worldly cave]

If your game is very similliar to other games, you should play those games, to see what they do right and what they do wrong

[stuck flower]

Make a system that's easily editable from the inspector and just try stuff

[sacred sparrow]

i finally "fixed" my movement

i put the collider on the wrong child XD

[vivid cedar]

It can be treated as not a problem at all but that's entirely up to you as the game designer.

there's no right or wrong answer to that

And it depends entirely on your particular game and the game feel you're going for.

[eager pawn]

Hey all, I have a project on UVCS that I'm trying to share with someone in my organization. He's not able to download the repository directly from DevOps for whatever reason. We attempted to just make a blank project and connect it to Cloud, then link it to the repository in the editor to adopt the latest change set, but it won't log him in. Has anyone else faced a similar issue?

[eager quiver]

I opened my Unity project and I'm getting 700+ warnings like this:

Packages/com.unity.rendering.light-transport/Runtime/UnifiedRayTracing/Hardware/HardwareRayTracingAccelStruct.cs is a symbolic link. Using symlinks in Unity projects may cause your project to become corrupted if you create multiple references to the same asset, use recursive symlinks or use symlinks to share assets between projects used with different versions of Unity. Make sure you know what you are doing.

All from Unity Packages.

Any idea how to fix that?

[stuck flower]

Is your project located in a OneDrive directory?

[vestal sleet]

hi

[eager quiver]

No

[stuck flower]

Is it in some other form of "virtual" drive, like Google Drive or Dropbox?

Because something's turned your files into symlinks and probably shouldn't be.

[eager quiver]

Yeah its dropbox synced. How do I fix the errors?

[stuck flower]

Don't put it in a virtual folder. Put it somewhere you actually have all of the files

[eager quiver]

Its on my computer and i have all the files. Dropbox just syncs it

[pearl oyster]

Use a proper version control system for syncing instead of Dropbox

[eager quiver]

Maybe there is a mismatch. I let it sync and see what happens

[eager quiver]

I’m using git. The project is just in a folder which is synced to cloud also

[stuck flower]

Dropbox has the files. You have symlinks which look like files but aren't actually files

[pearl oyster]

At a minimum you have to have it set to always store copies offline

[eager quiver]

I have it that way

[copper gust]

then remove dropbox because its doing a shit job of respecting it

[pearl oyster]

But there's no guarantee that it'll ever work properly this way. Better would be to have the project outside Dropbox and for example a git hook that copies the asset directory to a Dropbox synced directory

You don't want to store the library in Dropbox anyway

[eager quiver]

Can I just move the project folder?

[pearl oyster]

To get rid of Dropbox, yes

[eager quiver]

Then just move the git project path and open it again in unity hub?

[pearl oyster]

The git data is stored inside the project folder so it moves along with it

[sacred sparrow]

Also, why git + dropbox

Git will create a lot of cache, removing storage space from dropbox for no reason

[eager quiver]

I just opened the project inside dropbox copied folder long ago

[hardy trout]

someone use unity 6.5 alpha?i can put game in playstore?

[eager quiver]

To all: I let dropbox sync and after sync was completed the warnings dissapeared. I should move the project outside of dropbox anyway.

[copper gust]

you should yes

[sacred sparrow]

Well, ofc

Just check if the game is stable before, like always

[sacred sparrow]

Yes

[broken rover]

Guys is input buffering and avoiding a "God script" good practice to do early now, or should I just get the base movement down right before cleaning up and expanding

I have a relatively robust movement script but it currently handles everything, such as inputs and state transitions so I'm obviously gonna split that into seperate scripts later on

Another issue is that state handling right now checs for conditions using if/else statements which I believe would be a NIGHTMARE to handle once I expand into more complex systems

But I'm not too sure how to handle that

Like a state machine + input buffering sounds like a clean way to do it

[storm patio]

input buffering
this is a QoL feature, not "good practice". add it if you feel like that improves the feel of gameplay

if you're new, focus on the basics first tbh

[worldly cave]

I think you are overthinking all of it right now

not really necessary

not if you have to integrate it with other 2d stuff lol

Brackeys my beloved

Personally I'm not huge on rb player controllers but they're solid and make it easy to interact with other objects affected by physics in the game

[sacred sparrow]

btw, now i DO get it too

on my project

but only when the inspector values change pretty fast

like looking at the rotation

so i can confirm it's inspector related

[storm patio]

inspector draws 🔥
-# (the pc is on fire)

[violet thunder]

Unity serializes and deserializes the inspected object every frame the inspector renders 🙃

Realized that accidentally when I put a log in OnBeforeSerialize/OnAfterSerialize which was getting spam called

[sacred sparrow]

oh, lol

[balmy palm]

Everything is just a while loop. If you think about it. 😅

[pale hazel]

is there a function to get the distance between two objects?

[plain dagger]

Vector3.Distance()
You can use transform.position from both objects

[pale hazel]

okay, how about drawing a line between two objects?

[vivid cedar]

Use a LineRenderer

[pale hazel]

let me break down what I want,

when the player gets close to an interactable object, a notification should pop up between the player and the object, as the player gets closer to the object the notification gets gradually larger before swapping to an interact button.

[plain dagger]

You can do this stuff in your UI easily. Scale something based on distance and swap if you go below a threshold.

[vivid cedar]

That's a complex interaction that you should break down into several smaller pieces and tackle one by one.

[plain dagger]

Inverse lerping may help with the scaling

That too

[feral pike]

hi

[stoic thistle]

Hello everyone

[feral pike]

is there a specific thread for asking questions or I can ask here aswell?

[stoic thistle]

Can any body explain to me how to use unity version control i have a project and i wanted to do it with m'y bro but we had serious problèmes to share the changement does anyone know how to use it please

[storm patio]

most channels here are for help. find one that suits your question, or if you aren't sure, ask here and you'll be redirected if necessary

[storm patio]

have you commited & pushed your changes, and has your friend pulled those changes?

might be different words, these are the git terms. i'm unfamiliar with UVC's specific wording.

[feral pike]

So I have a bug where the ball collides with both the court and the ground (court is slighty more up than "ground" but I want to fix that one too)

[stoic thistle]

Yes we had created a repository and gave him all the privilèges but hé cant host the problem is that i can host m'y project and he can download it but hé hé cant
Sorry for m'y english i'm french so....

[storm patio]

• are you sure that's what's happening? what indicates that?
• why does your ball have 2 colliders

[feral pike]

"are you sure that's what's happening? what indicates that?"
I'm using Debug.Log to check if the ball hits the ground. hence the message in the bottom of the photo

"why does your ball have 2 colliders"
I was thinking that the inside and outside of the court to be 2 different objects

[storm patio]

right, i don't see what causes that log though. are you sure the collision message is happening twice?

perhaps just show code, for all i know it could be logged from Start lol

[feral pike]

sure

[storm patio]

why does the ball have different colliders though. that's a separate thing entirely

Or check for existence of a Court component that has a variable for which side it belongs to

[storm patio]

i don't see any logs here for either the message as a whole, or logs from inside the other 2 ifs
how do you know that it's hitting the court as well and not just the ground

[feral pike]

it doesn't have any issue "hitting" the court

[feral pike]

if (collision.gameObject.name == "Ground")
{
Debug.Log("Ball hit the ground");
if (Blue_court_hits) Redwins();
else Bluewins();
}

also...

[storm patio]

not sure what you're trying to show me there

bugs happen because some assumption you made was wrong. stop making assumptions and properly debug them

put a debug log at the top level of the collision message, log what you hit

(and turn off collapse in your console, so you can get a better picture)

[feral pike]

ok

also is there a way to remove the hit cooldown? originally, I added it because the function was called multiple times during the same collision

[storm patio]

by figuring out why it's being called multiple times and removing that cause

probably because your ball has 2 colliders...

[fierce gorge]

you could try making and tagging the objects, then in the project setting build collision matrix disabling collision between items tagged as ground and ball.

[copper gust]

collision matrix does not use tags

[storm patio]

if you were referring to layers, that would do the opposite of what's desired

[fierce gorge]

I don't think I understood the goal then. Are you trying to prevent the ball from colliding with both the ground and the court? Could you post a video of the bug?

[flat breach]

hi, do you guys know a place where I can find safe playtesters?

[feral pike]

yea, im blind

thx though

[storm patio]

now, did you have an issue with colliding with both the ground & the court to begin with?

take this as a learning opportunity to validate & challenge your assumptions :)

[feral pike]

right

the multiple hits is still there though. It seems to call the function twice per bounce.

but I removed the useless collider

[storm patio]

are the collisions with the same object?

[feral pike]

nvm, fixed it

[fierce gorge]

Yay! How did you fix it?

Also could I share a problem with you guys?

[feral pike]

sure

[feral pike]

also what do you recommend for checking collisions, instead of collision.gameObject.name?

[stuck flower]

#💻┃unity-talk message

[fierce gorge]

basically I have an inventory system that uses slots. I want the player to have the option to destroy items within the slots when they want to, for now a button is activated when the player selects an item slot that has an item in it. The button is a child of the item slot that it belongs to, that way only that item slot is affected by the button being pressed. Here is a visual:

The only problem is that when I apply these changes to all the other slots the grid layout group has them all side by side and creates offsets from where the button is suppose to be in game when activated. Sandby for visuals.

[storm patio]

additionally to what digi said, properly configured layers to filter out collisions that shouldn't happen

[storm patio]

oh mb

[broken rover]

Most games are protected under copyright so it's illegal i believe unless its for personal use

Even if not taking stuff without permission aint great

[jaunty bronze]

Uh, so is the invalid signature thing supposed to be fixed in the latest unity editor versions? I'm using the 6.5 alpha after upgrading.

[vivid cedar]

Yes it's fixed in the latest versions

though IDK about alphas

[jaunty bronze]

shouldn't the alpha have those fixes aswell tho?

Stop using ai as a beginner

[cinder star]

Well how would I code without knowing to code

[jaunty bronze]

learn to code

[vivid cedar]

how do you think people did this 3 years ago?

[copper gust]

same way your speaking english now

[worldly cave]

Like everyone else has done for the past 40 years without ai

You learn

[versed citrus]

Im tryna do it to my own game

So like…

[jaunty bronze]

AI, regardless of its application. Is NOT going to help you learn HOW to do things. Plus if it makes a mistake, you aren't going to know how to fix it - if you even recognize the mistake.

[copper gust]

youll have to learn how to do that in a different server

[worldly cave]

You want to asset rip your own game?

Yeah sure 💀

[copper gust]

its not unheard of

[versed citrus]

Yeah?

[vivid cedar]

if it's your own game there would be no reason to rip anything.

[versed citrus]

Ight

[worldly cave]

Litterally what would be the point

[copper gust]

some people dont have access to the project anymore

[jaunty bronze]

To see what its like to rip assets i guess 😂

[copper gust]

not saying thats the case here but

i've seen very big games do this

[worldly cave]

Coincidentally they also might not have access to their project anymore

[broken rover]

... what? 😭

[cinder star]

Ya I know that, but my day is hella busy and I do programming on free time but I can't find any good programming tutorials for beginners

[broken rover]

If it's your own game don't you have access to your own assets

[copper gust]

then your not trying enough and/or do not have the time to program

[worldly cave]

Check pins in #💻┃code-beginner

[sacred sparrow]

i managed to make it somewhat less present btw, using some smoothing (even if it only happens with the inspector open)

[copper gust]

you can't cheat learning

[broken rover]

Just trying shit and looking at docs is a pretty good way to learn imo

My 2 cents anyways

[worldly cave]

Even 45 mins a day of learning is enough

[sacred sparrow]

and copy pasting code too, to then experiment and understand it

at least, that helped me

[broken rover]

Nah because there's a difference between understanding something and applying it

[cinder star]

How long does it took y'all to learn it from scratch?

[vivid cedar]

learning is a continuous process that never ends

[worldly cave]

You never stop learning

[copper gust]

most people get fairly comfortable within a year of proper, consistent engagement of learning

[cinder star]

Man that ain't a damn answer, how long does it took y'all to know how to code a full game by your own

[copper gust]

depends on the game depends on the person

[sacred sparrow]

yeah it's personal

[vivid cedar]

a week or two? But "full game" is prety vague. The quality of the game is going to be shit at first.

[sacred sparrow]

if you are fast learner, you can do it after a few months

[broken rover]

I made rock paper scissors on the terminal in python, is that a full game? If so, like 30 minutes lol

[storm patio]

i figured out how to make minesweeper in a day
ive been trying to make a bigger game for nearly a year now (though that's mostly due to other stuff taking up all my time)

[flat breach]

guys someone is saying my games are bad(horror games that aren't so bad from what I think, I can show it if you want) and will never work, he says I should delete them and start finding an original idea and write it in notepad and prepare, be ready for everything before starting, should I listen him or improve these 2 games a little and still post them?

[vivid cedar]

Expect months to a year for a basic, beginner game that isn't very good

[cinder star]

ik but I'm happy with every good results I get even when I'm not the one making it fr

[worldly cave]

You just said you never finished a game

What results

[fast lily]

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer complete this pathway in full and youll have solid fundamentals. its listed as a 12 week course but you can knock it out in ~3-4 weeks with steady daily progress

if you cant complete a full unity course then your chance of ever completing a game is near 0

[storm patio]

do you perhaps just want to watch people make games rather than making stuff yourself

i mean that's perfectly viable (just go watch youtube)

just, you aint fooling anyone by claiming that's "your" game lmao

[worldly cave]

Yeah if you have ideas people are willing to make them for you

Just be prepared to spend a lot of money

[broken rover]

Getting basic logic down is honestly easy and should take just afew months the real bottleneck is stuff like optimization or proper structuring

[cinder star]

Hell nah bro all in free

[storm patio]

good, cheap, easy, pick 2

[cinder star]

I prefer low poly on high graphics model

[worldly cave]

I dont think you understood the question

[stuck flower]

If you aren't contributing money or any actual ability then you are not going to be making a game

[storm patio]

that has literally no bearing on anything we discussed so far

[worldly cave]

Your a victim of your own mentality, you want to make games but you dont want to learn

[broken rover]

What?

[worldly cave]

Yet you complain you get stuck and cant complete what you have

Youre either going to have to accept that you will have to actually learn

Or find a different hobby

Man loads of message popping on I didn't saw sry

[flat breach]

what I want is people to play my games

[worldly cave]

Litterally Abdullah the end all answer is "do what you want"

[fast lily]

just finish teh games, kep their scope well contained and defined, and release them. your primary goal should jsut be finishing the games at this point, not whether people will play them or not

[vestal sleet]

i need help cuz my map is a cave and i see thru the roof and i can see the floor

[worldly cave]

If you want people to play your games, give them a reason to play them

You also have to make sure people know your game exists

[stuck flower]

who cares. Do whatever.

[broken rover]

If that's your primary goal then you wont finish your game from burnout I'd say

If you actually enjoy making the games, make the games

[storm patio]

and what do you think will achieve that

quality and marketing

you need to actually care about your game to be able to make it good and sell it well

[vestal sleet]

i need help cuz my map is a cave and i see thru the roof and i can see the floor can anyone help

[storm patio]

make what you actually want to as the product, not as the potential consumer

[worldly cave]

Most people who make games, especially hobbyists want people to play their games, this isnt some unique challenge

[broken rover]

Set the camera near to 0

[stuck flower]

You should probably post a screenshot of what you mean

[worldly cave]

The answer is marketing and quality

[storm patio]

-# hey you stole my answer :(

[flat breach]

I've already finished some games and not a lot of people played em

[vestal sleet]

how

[vestal sleet]

ok

[storm patio]

have you told people about them?

[worldly cave]

Bruh this channel turns into such a clusterfuck with multiple people its hard to even keep track of what was said

[fast lily]

finished as in published on itch or similar?

[flat breach]

well I enjoy making games but getting people to play them would make me happy and feel like I'm doing something yk

[broken rover]

I'm just guessing that's what's wrong here. Check if in the camera inspector the "near" slider is at its minimum (by default its 0.3)

[worldly cave]

You need to actually market your games

If you want people to play them

[storm patio]

-# i was joking, it's nice to see my thoughts validated by someone coming to the same conclusion lmao

[flat breach]

no, not really as I was a beginner during this time

[worldly cave]

Then what did you expect?

[storm patio]

chop chop

[flat breach]

yea

[worldly cave]

People to stumble upon your game randomly?

That doesnt happen

Even if it does it doesnt lead to consistent success

[vestal sleet]

see?

[storm patio]

not that you'd definitely get traffic from devlogs, but at least you'll have content to promote your work elsewhere

[broken rover]

What is the setup

[worldly cave]

The ceiling is not visible because youre viewing it from the outside where the normal is flipped

[broken rover]

What are we even looking at here

[vestal sleet]

idk what u mean

[stuck flower]

I don't know what I'm looking at in the second screenshot, but the top one looks like a mesh with its normals facing in which is what you would expect for a cave

[vestal sleet]

how do i fix it?

[fast lily]

are you prototyping to "find the fun" first? that might be a good place to start. i still thnk you should finish your current games as is since itll be valuable. but any future project should probably focus on "finding the fun", which heres a lotof youtube videos covering

[flat breach]

it's not this, Ma said I should just focus on finishing the game, but I'm not at this point anymore, I've already finished games, what I want now is people to play my games and as you guys said marketing plays a role, I plan to do it but idk about the quality, I feel like I can improve everything I want but I don't know what to improve and can't builld my own opinion on my game.$

[worldly cave]

I dont think you have to, unless the cave is visible from the outside

[stuck flower]

Is the vent a mesh with its normals facing inside, like the cave?

[worldly cave]

Well if you want feedback, step 1 is still getting people to play your game

So it all circles back to the same thing eventually

[vestal sleet]

yeah but i made it all in blender

[tall hearth]

that's fine, now are you certain the normals are facing the correct way

[stuck flower]

can you show a screenshot of that vent from the outside

[broken rover]

Release some version like a beta or alpha version and iterate on it

[worldly cave]

Its visible in the first pic

Looks like his normals are flipped for the vent

[vestal sleet]

idk. im new to this stuff

[stuck flower]

Yeah that looks like a basic "Normals facing out" model

[plain dagger]

Outside a tube with normals pointing inwards you will be able to see "in"

[stuck flower]

Which means it's got walls on the outside

not the inside

[vestal sleet]

how do i fix it

[flat breach]

do you know where I can find playtesters? I don't want my game to get stolen or anything and I asked some people I know irl and no one wants to play, I've not got friends

[stuck flower]

Model it with normals facing in

[stuck flower]

your game isn't worth stealing

[flat breach]

like a smaller game than the main version?

[stuck flower]

People have multi-billion dollar games to steal from

[worldly cave]

What do you mean stolen? If youre sending a game build theres nothing to steal

[remote needle]

you could ask literally anyone to playtest

[broken rover]

Sure

[worldly cave]

Unless youre sending people your games source code

[plain dagger]

If its meant to be a cave that you are inside of always then its not an issue.
Go learn about "backface culling"

[tall hearth]

go in blender go to viewport Overlays and enable "Face Orientation", then go select the faces that from the view of the player are red and hit ctrl + n and flip the normals

[broken rover]

Blender --> edit mode --> A --> alt + n ---> flip

[flat breach]

well, I understand your pov, but what's a game worth to be stolen? My game contains everything another horror game does, my game ain't worse than granny or such games

[worldly cave]

Not to be rude

[flat breach]

they can post the build? like on itch or steam

[worldly cave]

But who says your game isnt worse

Youre making an assumption about your own product

Without external feedback

[flat breach]

I've already tried to find people ongame dev league dc server and no one did say yes

[worldly cave]

Dangerous mentality

[stuck flower]

In about a week Resident Evil Requiem will be out and I give it a week and three hours before the entire decompiled build is available online

[flat breach]

what? I've never done this, digi said this

[broken rover]

I spent a long time trying to pick a license for a game I'm working on and I still know that realistically nobody would care enough to steal from me anyways lol

[worldly cave]

So, make an itch and steam page, protect your assets lol

[flat breach]

oh wait I misread

[broken rover]

It's kinda unrelated but just wanted to say that

[stuck flower]

Maybe just stop finding excuses to not post a video game

[worldly cave]

All your problems seem to have wildly simple solutions

[stuck flower]

and instead, post a video game

[worldly cave]

But its your own mentality thats holding you bacj

Youre afraid to share your game, but youre looking for playtesters

[flat breach]

how to protect assets?

[worldly cave]

When i says assets

[stuck flower]

you don't. Stop caring.

[copper gust]

protecting assets is non viable

[worldly cave]

I dont mean game assets

I mean your game as a literal asset you own

[flat breach]

yea you're right, I'm making this excuse for nothing, I just need playtesters

[worldly cave]

Simply litterally putting it out there first is enough

[broken rover]

If your game is OSS then it can be given you pick a license for your assets but that's assuming you have lawyers actually able to enforce that lol

[flat breach]

lol

[stuck flower]

You will not stop people from decompiling your game. Trillions of dollars have been spent to try, and all have failed. Statistically, no one will play the game at all, let alone try to steal anything from it.

[worldly cave]

And people dont really steal completed builds to pass them off as their own

[flat breach]

you think no one will play my game?

[stuck flower]

There are about a thousand games posted every day

Don't make games for validation

[worldly cave]

What makes you think they will

[stuck flower]

make games because you want to make games

[remote needle]

being realistic a first game likely wont get played much / at all

[stuck flower]

Most games suck, even good ones.

[flat breach]

nothing but nothing makes me think no one will play

[broken rover]

Not enough to go through the effort to take everything and repost it as their own

[worldly cave]

Ah but thats the thing, there is a reason not to play your game

[flat breach]

I'm not sure to understand tbh

[worldly cave]

Its called time

People wont waste time trying every game that comes their way

[flat breach]

so what should I do if I want people to play my game? this looks like an infinite issue

[broken rover]

Unless you're real good with your marketing probably not

[stuck flower]

You make a game

[worldly cave]

presentation and marketing

[stuck flower]

then you post the game

[broken rover]

Just... make the game

[stuck flower]

then maybe something happens

[broken rover]

THat's is

For the sake of making the game

[tall hearth]

can guarantee it'll be no more than a few dozen, first game i made i am quite proud of myself on it, it's been up for a little over a year now and it's only made 10 dollars.

[flat breach]

alright, I get it, who want to playtest my game?

[broken rover]

Holy shit you're rich

[worldly cave]

Make a thread in #1180170818983051344

If people want to test it they will.

[flat breach]

10 dollars is a great achievement bro, gj

[worldly cave]

Not much more you can do in this server regarding that

[flat breach]

alright

[tall hearth]

i wish itch stole half my profits

[broken rover]

Wait what why is that a thing lol

[copper gust]

life

[broken rover]

Itch has a tax lmao what

[copper gust]

just wait till you find out how much steam takes 😄

[worldly cave]

Do you think itchio is a charity

[broken rover]

Idk why I'm surprised this isn't unusual or anything

[broken rover]

Lmao no I honestly don't know what I expected

It makes sense

[worldly cave]

Steam takes 30%

A lot more than what itchio does

[broken rover]

Steam is more understandable to be fair lol

[worldly cave]

Not really

[stuck flower]

I thought it was 40%? 30% is only the major publishing studios that have negotiated smaller fees

[worldly cave]

Perhaps

Im not sure

[copper gust]

nah 30% afaik

[broken rover]

40 is ridiculous

[copper gust]

major gets less

[worldly cave]

40% would be criminal

[tall hearth]

it can be lol you can choose to give it 0% of your earnings though the 30% tax withhold is i think cause i never set up my tax information

[worldly cave]

30% is already criminal

[copper gust]

30% is a fuckton given how much valve makes, they could easily lower it if they wanted

[worldly cave]

Valve could lower it to 10% and still be the worlds most efficient company

Supposedly so

[broken rover]

I'm surprised it's 30 since we all know valve can't count in multiples of 3

[stuck flower]

Yes but why would they bother when every other platform charges even less but sucks so bad the developers get more money selling on steam for less profit

[worldly cave]

They are privately traded so that information is speculative

Yeah theres no good alternative to steam rn

[copper gust]

they are very good in a lot of ways and very fucked in others

its rough

i did just get a steam deck

[tall hearth]

they totally could but it's the rate every launcher goes for, apple, google, steam, itch suggests going 10% or 30% and epic games i hear is nice and only does 12%

[worldly cave]

Yeah steam is very much the lesser of all the evils

Compared to egs and gog

I hate that GOG is so pro AI

[tall hearth]

my only problem with epic games is it runs so shity and takes 15 minutes to boot

[broken rover]

Isnt ai code illegal anyway due to copyright

[worldly cave]

No

[remote needle]

you couldnt really prove it even if it was right

[worldly cave]

They also use AI artwork for official stuff

Which is the egregious part

[copper gust]

heavily depends on case by case basis

in short amounts probably not yes

[worldly cave]

Iirc the entire storefront is an Unreal Engine instance or some shit

But yeah its slow as fuck and its biggest sin

[broken rover]

I meant in general how is it that you can sell ai code as proprietary software

[remote needle]

wait thats why it runs like ass?

[broken rover]

Seems like that messes with certain cc laws

Idk how you would go abt proving it's ai tho

Seems like an impossible task

Im not against ai for small snippets but if it codes for you then its not even sustainable

Like vibe coding an actually good and functioning game is probably just not possible

[remote needle]

the whole idea of vibe coding just seems off to me

[broken rover]

Issue with most LLMs is that they're shit for vibe coding lol

[remote needle]

just kinda rips the enjoyment out of it no?

[broken rover]

Personally, hell yeah

I like the gruelling pain of debugging code at 2 AM

But others might just wanna do somrthing without needing to actually code

But if you're gonna get anywhere you gotta learn eventually

[remote needle]

like sure it will work but when it breaks is the ai really gonna help much

[broken rover]

Nah

[remote needle]

just seems like a waste of time imo

[broken rover]

Agreed

[broken rover]

Its not even good at making fully functional polished scripts

Forget debugging too

Small snippets is fine

I'm not saying as if I'm any less garbage at coding but at least it's my garbage

[remote needle]

personally i would only ever use it to like explain concepts and not generate code directly but even then rarely

[broken rover]

I do the same tbh

I think most of us do

I make it generate some code as well but I usually end up refactoring it anyway

[errant bane]

I need help removing Relay

I don't see it in my manifest.json, I can't remove it, do I have to upgrade first before removing it or something else

A what

[fallen dew]

A daggerfall unity discord.

[potent geyser]

Repeating yourself doesn't make it a clever reply. Be less vague?

[tender thicket]

are there any issues with updating unity 6.2 to 6.4

[potent geyser]

That's impossible to say. Typically going up is fine. But always back up with source control.

[subtle owl]

Is that a AI-navigation question, am I right?
#🤖┃ai-navigation message

[deft rock]

6.4 is a beta release.. don't be using it with any existing projects that aren't just learning/ R&D/ etc

[tender thicket]

thanks, gonna try with 6.3 then

[deft rock]

if you're updating an existing project - then make sure you have a backup on version control first

[versed citrus]

Who’s the owner of the server?

[proper rivet]

i love when unity starts hallucinating a connection to the host so i have to restart my pc

[bleak quartz]

should I reduce my fixed timestep than average default (0.02), I constantly having collision problems (in host too) It's networked fast paced party game

[proper rivet]

clipped

[hidden panther]

u da real hallucination

[bleak quartz]

if I make it 0.01 lets say, will it hurt performance a lot?

[proper rivet]

u da real host

[silent mica]

Are you doing something networking related? Make sure things are getting cleaned up

[proper rivet]

yep, and will do

[silent mica]

Probably netcode screwing with physics

[bleak quartz]

it happens in local host too, Im not talking about client side

so its 100% collision detection problem

my ball in continous dynamic, it happens why I create an overlapshere and push balls back

if ball is fast enough, it just ignores it

when its slow, it works perfectly

[silent mica]

Yea afaik there isn't any system to catch this with queries

[cunning basin]

no way our lord and savior uyarr is in this discord omg

[bleak quartz]

@cunning basin oof lmao

[bleak quartz]

what can I do then

its fast paced party game again and its honestly super annoying to die because it just missees

[silent mica]

I think you could create a better query with a collider + contact modification events

[bleak quartz]

[Server]
 private void ServerDoNovaBounce()
 {
     Vector3 center = transform.position;

     Collider[] hits = Physics.OverlapSphere(center, properties.novaRadius);

     foreach (var col in hits)
     {
         if (!col.CompareTag("Ball"))
             continue;

         Rigidbody rb = col.attachedRigidbody;
         if (rb == null)
             continue;

         LightningBall ball = rb.GetComponent<LightningBall>();
         if (ball == null)
             continue;

         // Flat outward direction from player to ball
         Vector3 dir = rb.position - center;
         dir.y = 0f;

         // Fallback if perfectly overlapping
         if (dir.sqrMagnitude < 0.0001f)
             dir = transform.forward;

         dir.Normalize();

         // LightningBall enforces constant speed every FixedUpdate.
         float speed = ball.currentSpeed;

         rb.linearVelocity = dir * speed;
     }
 }

In Ball.cs

 [ServerCallback]
    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        // enforce constant speed (server only)
        Vector3 v = rb.linearVelocity;
        v.y = 0f;

        if (v.sqrMagnitude < 0.0001f)
            v = transform.forward * currentSpeed;

        rb.linearVelocity = v.normalized * currentSpeed;
    }

[silent mica]

Since collider would be in the physics simulation as the object passes through it https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.ContactModifyEvent.html

[tired snow]

Hello, can someone tell me how do i fix this?

[balmy kettle]

Rigidbody is for 3d physics, Rigidbody2D is for 2d physics

[bleak quartz]

I didnt understand honestly

[tired snow]

ohhhh okayy thank you

[bleak quartz]

how it will help, since it doesnt catch the collision anyway

[cunning basin]

can someone help me with a noob unity question im learning and searched youtube and google for about an hour before i resorted to here, its just a simple scaling / mergeing question it would be easier if i can call you on disc for like 30 seconds and share my screen if possible, thank you.

[bleak quartz]

what is it about

[silent mica]

Do you have collision issues or is it just the query missing?

Queries are not the same as collisions

[bleak quartz]

right now, everything works fine except that nova

nova works too but if ball is fast, it doesnt

[worldly cave]

If it takes 30 seconds to explain through a call im sure you could take a minute to write the question

Theres no vc here for a reason

[fathom siren]

or just answer his question

[worldly cave]

He didnt ask a question...

So i fail to see your point

[shadow heron]

Not only did he not ask a question, but even if he did, simply throwing the answer at someone doesn't help them learn.

this code seems to not work, Im trying to make my object jump when i press space but when i try it in game it doesnt work

[balmy kettle]

are there any errors in the console

[dusky forum]

Is the script attached to an object with a rigidbody 2d component

[tired snow]

whats console?

[balmy kettle]

"unity console"

[dusky forum]

https://docs.unity3d.com/es/2018.4/Manual/Console.html

[tired snow]

yes its attached to a frog

[worldly cave]

Did you assign the frogs 2drigidbody to the field in the script?

[cunning basin]

with little expierence and not knowing unity terminology, i was asking if i could vc with somebody, but some kind person helped me out and was able to go from this in an hour and learned a welth of shortcuts and the basics, really appreciate the help from individuals in here

[dusky forum]

Best to show an image of the hierarchy and inspector of the object that needs to jump

hi, im following tutorial for adventure game and im kind of at a loss at this UI part
https://learn.unity.com/course/2D-adventure-robot-repair/unit/game-ui-and-game-loop/tutorial/create-a-health-display-with-ui-toolkit?version=6.3
i've been working with UI builder maximized and the UI looks like this

but then if i double click UI Builder tab to go back to regular view everything just shifts...

[earnest edge]

sorry to interrupt but anyone know how to fix this

[slow dirge]

I assume that you tried restarting the hub and it crashed again?

[broken rover]

Did this happen several times consistently?

[earnest edge]

no i updated unity hub and it crash

[broken rover]

If not just restart or quit and start

[earnest edge]

i tried that many times

[broken rover]

I would just reinstall it

[slow dirge]

If it keeps on happening look at the hub logs

No need to go to through the effort debugging the error here yk

Something up with how the Hub is setup, just uninstall and reinstall and it should sort itself out

[earnest edge]

i did that many times tho

[broken rover]

Uninstalled and reinstalled?

Not restart

I meant deleting the application entirely

And then installing it again

[earnest edge]

yeah i know i did that it says the same things

[broken rover]

How did you delete it?

Because my suspicion is that some file is corrupt but idk

[broken rover]

Either way if it persists then check the logs

I want to know how can I add a time limitation to instantiate next gameobject after the previous gameobject is fired.
like in this case I have a dog when I fire it or instantiate it, I want to add a limitation to spawn next dog after some timeperiod (2sec).

[somber spire]

Okay ill stay with vscode but with the vim extension instead of nvim

[old thunder]

maybe you could use a static variable (single variable shared by the whole class) that keeps track of when you last spawned a dog, when trying to spawn one check that enough time has elapsed?

or if the player script is the only place where you spawn one, doesn't really need to be static, you could just keep track there with a regular variable

Does anyone here know what's the state of Linux/Wayland and Unity? I know that when I launched Rider for the first time and ran like GARBAGE and the way I solved it was by turning on running through Wayland directly and not using the XWayland backend. Since Unity runs very poorly on my first launch on the Linux system I'm kinda assuming it's running through XWayland too, so I'm curious if I can fix that somehow.

[ocean pumice]

are you going the official way to install via Hub and stuff. What distro are you on?

[boreal river]

Hey, guys! I have a question. Why I cannot rotate and basically do anything related the transform of my model that I have imported externally??

Basically, I am trying to find a way and rotate the head of my model.

[sly lake]

Presumably it's controlled by the rig

Need to move the head bone instead

[warped cove]

In the hierarchy, find the head gameobject and roatate it

[boreal river]

Yes, that's what I understood as well

[boreal river]

It doesn't rotate I think its the problem @sly lake is saying

I have to find a way and rotate it, because I don't know yet. What do you think I have to control?

In order to fix it?

[sly lake]

It'll be under spine

Just click through until you find the head bone

[boreal river]

oh wait those are the bones in hips?

[sacred sparrow]

yes

[boreal river]

Because I was trying to move the head itself

not the bones

[sacred sparrow]

normally the hips is the starting point of the model

[gusty abyss]

What's your gpu?

[sacred sparrow]

the bone is the model here in unity

unless you separated it

[boreal river]

Wait why I have both bones and the other game objects?

Whats the difference

[sacred sparrow]

huuh, ok that's strange

[boreal river]

Hips are the bones but what about the priest child objects

[gusty abyss]

What's your gpu?

[sacred sparrow]

i think the head is in Body then

or Upper

[sacred sparrow]

why?

[gusty abyss]

What's your gpu?

[latent meadow]

Stop Spamming

[gusty abyss]

What do you mean?

[sacred sparrow]

you keep repeating the same question for no reason

[gusty abyss]

I'm not spammer

[sacred sparrow]

yes you are

[gusty abyss]

Even I'm not doing that shit

[latent meadow]

your question is irrelevant and you keep repeating it.

[gusty abyss]

Because i didn't get my answer

[boreal river]

yes I found the neck and right now instead of rotating the other object I am rotating this and it works but still very interesting what are the other game objects inside priest

[gusty abyss]

Huh?

[deft rock]

your first three msgs were the same question, giving no context and asking no one.

[sacred sparrow]

yeah those are strange

[gusty abyss]

Yeah you're right guys 👍

[sacred sparrow]

idk why it has a separat obj

[warped cove]

priest gameobject probably has only the meshes and visuals, unlike the spine and other parent objects, they are your model specific.

[gusty abyss]

Got it — didn’t mean to spam. My bad 👍

why can u help me

why cant u help me*

why

but its just this one thing

Nothing gets acomplished

[wheat mountain]

So where would I go if I wanted to ask a question primarily about math? I tried asking this question in Physics yesterday and was told not to. Do I just ask it here?

[sacred sparrow]

prob here

[wheat mountain]

Alright then

Say I have a camera that is tilted 30 degrees on the X axis and I want it to show two transforms: One at a viewport point of (0.5, 0.5) and the other at a viewport point of (0.5, 0.3). If I assume the two transforms are 5 meters from each other, how would I go about calculating the position I would need the camera to be at?

For simplicity the object I want at viewport point (0.5, 0.5) is at world point (0, 0, 0) and the object I want at viewport point (0.5, 0.3) is at world point (0, 0, -5). The camera also has a Field of View of 60 degrees

[worldly cave]

This sounds like a trig problem more than anything

[sacred sparrow]

yeah

and i'm def not good at that XD

[storm patio]

this sounds like a matrix thing

iirc, the camera would have an affine transform matrix that basically represents transforming worldspace to viewport space
just gotta invert that with those 2 constraints (of the 2 input transforms) + rotation constraints, i guess?

[worldly cave]

I feel as if the solution here is using a different approach to do this

I dont think this can even get you exact results

[sacred sparrow]

maybe using raycasts?

[storm patio]

oh hey, these exist
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Camera-worldToCameraMatrix.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Camera-cameraToWorldMatrix.html

[storm patio]

why wouldn't it

[worldly cave]

Its better to do it in camera space using rays and some projection math

Rather than world space using trig

[wheat mountain]

It is a trig problem. Or at least I thought so. The problem I have is that, whenever I implement a solution, the answer is close, but not close enough and I don't know why

[storm patio]

i think taking it as a trig problem is basically working with underlying math, when you have a more abstract representation of the camera to work with

[wheat mountain]

But then how are you going to find out where the camera is supposed to be in world space? Because that's ultimately the goal here

[worldly cave]

You could use the camera rays from the viewport coordinates, then solve for the camera transform that makes your desired world points fall on those rays.

[wheat mountain]

I don't know how I would do that, though

[storm patio]

...i definitely feel like matrices would be easier here tbh

well harder math but easier implementation once you model it correctly

[wheat mountain]

I don't know how to do that math, though. I know trig, but my attempt at using it to solve this is giving me answers with too much margin for error

[ocean pumice]

From the top of my head, you would just need the triangle of your middle position + the extended position on both sides added. So it becomes a triangle with equal side lengths. From there you know your angle because of your 60 camera and should be able to calculate the perpendicular length which would be your distance to the middle object of your camera.

[spark granite]

can i still ask there even though i'm using a not officially supported distro?

[ocean pumice]

or not even have to double the distance but just cut in half your fov angle I guess

[cinder star]

-# For more posting guidelines, go to #🌱┃start-here

[wheat mountain]

Something like this? Because part of the problem is that I don't know how to calculate a proper length for the green lengths or the red length. The only length I actually have is the black one.

[cinder star]

Nah I need help with something in my code if someone can help message me private

[ocean pumice]

Thats not how this server works

[cinder star]

So how can I get fast help

[wheat mountain]

You have to be able to identify what problem you're actually having

[ocean pumice]

I just told you with the ask command

[ocean pumice]

The distance can ignore the z value between the two. You just need the ray with the length for whatever is closer.

[wheat mountain]

That would only work if I knew what position the camera was supposed to be at already and I don't

The whole point is trying to figure that out

[stuck flower]

Usually by actually asking a question

[worldly cave]

Guys i need a solution

No i will not tell you the problem

[worldly cave]

Honestly we havent considered this possibly being an XY problem, what is it exactly you want to accomplish with this in general

What are you implementing in particular that requires this problem solve
