For those who might be new to the project, TileMakerDOT is a completely FREE and OPEN SOURCE 2D map editor, and it is built specifically for the GODOT engine!

In this update, I focused entirely on a brand new quality of life feature that I’ve always felt was missing from other mapping tools: The Annotation Notes Tool!

When working on large or complex maps, it’s so easy to lose track of details, like remembering to finish a wall, place an NPC, or set up a script trigger. Instead of keeping a separate notepad, you can now drop visual note pins right onto your map to leave yourself reminders. They save directly into your project file so your TODO list is right where you need it!:)

What I am working on next:

The foundation is set, and I will be working on the next big workflow improvement: Native file launching. What is that? Well, soon you can double click any exported .tmdot project file directly from your Windows File Explorer, and the editor will boot up instantly and load your file automatically without the need to open the TileMaker DOT app first.

Every time I start a new Unity project, I usually import a few small packages just to make my life easier.

I like using custom folder icons/colors because Unity’s default project window feels a bit too plain. I’ve also seen people use things like Odin Inspector or hierarchy tools to keep the editor cleaner and faster to work with.

What are the best Unity packages or tools you’ve used?

beginner here, just wanna show my animator, it works pretty well but I'm not that familiar with animator structures. I saw quite a lot of different ones on here, is there an industry standard of how it should look like?

Last chance to get an awesome deal on tons of content. Check them out on my itch page. Happy designing everyone!

This is an editor screenshot. In-game it looks a bit better. But still looks weird. Idk if its because of the pixel sizes or some other problem. Tips would be appreciated!

Hey everyone! My group and I are looking for someone who can help us code our Unity visual novel for our undergraduate thesis. We're on a tight deadline, so we're willing to pay for your time and assistance.

While we're still learning Unity ourselves and genuinely want to understand the process, we could really use someone with experience to help us bring everything together before our deadline.

🎮 About the Project:

Stereotypical Sweethearts is a 2D interactive visual novel that explores how gender stereotypes and social media archetypes shape identity, self-perception, and relationships.

Grounded in research on gaze theory and Gen Z digital culture, the game follows a narrative-driven experience where players interact with characters navigating their own struggles with self-image and self-expression.

Through meaningful choices and character interactions, players are encouraged to look beyond first impressions, challenge socially constructed labels, and reflect on identity as something fluid, personal, and constantly evolving through both online and offline experiences.

📌 Short Lore:

The protagonist is gifted...or cursed, with a form of synesthesia tied to gender energy. They can see other people's auras and perceive the texture of their voices through sensations like taste and touch, yet they cannot perceive their own.

Gender energy isn't determined by biological sex or identity labels. Instead, it reflects how a person expresses, performs, suppresses, or understands themselves.

A person's aura shifts with emotions, stress, confidence, dysphoria, and social pressure, but its deeper patterns become clearer as the protagonist grows closer to them.Each character struggles with gender dysphoria, self-image, or identity in their own way. As the protagonist helps others understand themselves, they unknowingly begin confronting their own identity as well.

By the end of the game, the protagonist finally starts to perceive their own gender energy. The choices made throughout the story determine which aura resonates with them the most.

🙏 We're Looking For:

If you have experience with Unity, especially if you've worked on visual novels or narrative games, we'd love to talk! Please send me a DM if you're interested, and we can discuss the project, workload, timeline, and payment.

We've already completed a large portion of the pre-production work, including the narrative, assets, and even a draft flowchart outlining how we envision the game's logic and coding structure. The foundation is there, we just need an extra pair of hands to help us finish everything before our deadline.

Even if you can't help directly, an upvote, share, or comment would mean the world to us. Feedback and constructive criticism are also very welcome. We've poured months into both the thesis paper and the game's development, and we'd love to see this project come to life.

Thank you so much for reading! ❤️

Recently getting into Unity and coding in general and been following a tutorial series and everytime I come across something that involves input I run into the issue of Unity having changed the input system for no reason and genuinely can’t figure things out sometimes. Like here, this is supposed to be a button press to interact with an NPC but of course the code here doesn’t work in the new system. I simply don’t understand how to make this same general code work in the new system and hoping someone can help. Thanks!

Another funny enemy for my game.

A BowNana, shooting arrwos or throwing BananaBombs. Where do I know this from? 🤔🤔

Be kind and wishlist my game.

Have a good sunday 😊

(It's Terraria's original cthullu, I'm doing a fangame about him in Unity :D)

I wanted this drill to feel less like a normal drill bit and more like a concentrated plasma weapon. The visuals are built in Unity with code-driven layers: a glowing core, animated beam, contact flare, particles, pulsing light, and scripted motion instead of a pre-rendered animation.

It is still being tuned, but I’m pretty happy with the outcome so far.

Currently I'm working on an Arrow escape puzzle game and I want to make a level editor tool that generates levels from png images, just like this reference.I tried but can't figure out how I can make this.

If you have any ideas please help me.

The first enemy in my game. What do you think? 😊

Making a new sprite sheet for my character, Super Punkass. She has 8-direction movement, so I started with her head, making a head spin.
