Best way to design/handle projectiles without tanking your fps?

So I'm testing this game with ~800 enemies, and having a stable performance of roughly 110-130fps on a rtx2060 laptop. But its predictable take.

The problem is when I start shooting, either with my main tank or the 4 turrets use the same bullet type. Basically the same rectangle but for the mech in the center (not sure how visible), it fires 3 different sizes of the same bullet.

If all 4 turrets fire, fps easily drops 30-40%. add another 10% on top of that if the player start firing too.

How to handle projectiles that dont kill performance?

Is there anything I can do about it?

Thank you

Recently been exploring with Synty assets, why is this jittering happening? Is it unity thing or the assets?

Should I have two versions of my CV? One more focused on leadership/executive and other more technical. If so, how should I handle linkedin?

Hi,

I have 10+ years experience as Product Manager, I've had my own company for years and have also served in senior and executive leadership roles.

I fear that my leadership/executive cv would be overlooked by hiring managers for just senior roles.

Should I create a 2nd version of the CV that is more technical in the day to day duties as PM?

Please keep in mind that the first version of cv is heavy technical too when it comes on my engineering and background (I'm a software engineer by degree). But it also has bulletpoints like "raised mid-six figures funding via angel investor etc etc".

For 2nd version I am thinking to take off bulletpoints like that and make them sound more like on my daily activities.

What do you think?

Made some changes from the previous criticism. What do you guys think?

I'm begging to ignore it in the visual aspects, as right now im more focused on the text rather than the look of it, but I will work on it too.

Working on custom IK movement for my spider mech

hello,

About a month ago I posted the recoil movement I designed for my mech.

I didn't quite like the movement as it was buggy so I decided to completely change the function of it.

Left - current method using an IK package from assetstore.

Center - Custom IK configuration.

Right - Animation based.

As I'm using a packgage from assetstore for the mech until I can afford a 3D designer, I was blessed with the animations. though had to program them carefully to play on right time and not just snap immediately.

My custom IK config apparently is enjoying the legs up in the air haha.

just wanted to share it with you guys too as I found it a little funny.

Which movement do you like more?

Hi,

So, long story short, big dark angels fan, and the ceo of a gaming company. Spent ~$40,000 with the aim to acquire the license for a game, didn't happen.

We're here now, new project. Think of it as Pacific Rim meeting Titanfall 2. The initial name is Bastion Breaker, but I'm also I'm thinking of Ironwing Protocol.

Since is the ironwing of the Dark Angels is basically heavy tanks, armored vehicles and a loot of "boom", It matches perfectly to the game what I'm trying to build.

Would I get sued for using their name? would it be a problem?

I'm a total beginner with UI's so I'm wondering what would be the best way to create a menu like this. with these effects transitioning and everything.

I can make most of these in photoshop but in Unity and the transitions, I'm not quite sure how to make the same effects

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm starting an indie game project, lightly funded for now, and as I'm currently in the planning stage, so other than game features I'm also planning the feeling of the game and how the world would function.

Part of that is also voice acting. As the game is set on a different planet, instead of locals speaking Americanized English, I want to add it a bit of flavor and have them speak Doric and Gheg (Northern Albanian) dialect. So if 2 characters are speaking, 1 would speak in Doric, the other would reply in Albanian just to mix it.

But no matter where I've been searching, I cannot find any doric voice actor (fiver, upwork and other sites for only voice actors).

Any idea how I can find any voice actors?

EDIT: writing this made me realize I sound like I'm trying to find some unicorn lol
