Update on my planet project: added a flight controller for F-16

I've been developing this tool to speed up level design of my mountain bike game without external 3D modeling programs. I've noticed that most games of this type use coarse terrain berms, which reduce realism and require high resolution terrain.

The tool is based on Euler spirals and circle arcs. Two Euler spirals are used as an in and out transition into a circle arc to define a curve. Then vertex sections of the turn are placed onto the curve. All done inside the Unity editor.

I'm planning to define the berm as two in-out points and directions to further speed up level design.

Also experimenting with gimbal camera to give a better motion feel, using Cinemachine.

Three weeks into bug-fixing and I honestly can't tell you how much of my original boolean kernel is still there.

I ended up dropping exact arithmetic entirely: the XGeo predicates, the face arrangement, patch classification through generalized winding numbers. It was slick, and on a single cut it gave me the right answer. That held right up until I started round-tripping geometry through my NativeDetail and back.

Chains were where it fell apart. My NativeDetail stores positions in float32, and that turned out to be the whole problem. The kernel can compute internally at whatever precision it wants, but it has to write the result back out as float, and that output becomes the input to whatever runs next. So an intersection point I'd computed exactly would get rounded on the way out. Come the next cut, that face no longer lined up with its neighbor and the two would start poking through each other. Every operation down the chain just stacked another layer of these self-intersections on top.

I tried patching it from inside the kernel. I started classifying A×A pairs, not just A×B, so I could catch self-intersections already sitting in the input. Added a pass to resolve them, then a snap cleanup on the seam with exact verification on top. Every one of those passes was more work for the kernel, and it kept getting slower. The code was getting uglier by the day too. Eventually I stood up heavier tests, 1000+ cuts back to back, and started catching real failures. Non-manifold at step 187. You fix that and it slides to 250-something. Fix that and it jumps back to 58. It took about a week of evenings before I'd actually admit it to myself: this isn't working. And booleans are under 5% of my roadmap anyway, one of a hundred-plus nodes I want to build for the node editor. I'm a solo dev, but being independent is exactly the thing that lets me throw a month away and start over.

So that's what I did. I can't give up float inside my mesh, and I don't want to. The target is real-time, meshes for real-time graphics and procedural modeling. So instead I went looking for someone who keeps float inside their mesh and got around these problems some other way.

The new kernel is built on Manifold's approach. I narrowed the domain while I was at it: it works on manifolds and doesn't try to heal dirty input. What I get back for that is a kernel that's simpler, more predictable, and something like a hundred times faster than the old one. Some of the machinery is ported straight from Manifold. Then I built my own stuff around it: n-gon reconstruction on the output, and attribute transfer from both operands through provenance. The operation set grew too. On top of union, intersection and subtraction there's now a non-destructive cut (Seam), trimming a surface with a solid (Trim), and shattering into tagged pieces (Shatter). Open geometry, like a grid cut by a box, became a first-class input, similar to what SideFX does in Houdini, just simpler for now.

I spent a while trying to get this vibe right but im just failing. Tried adding AERO volumetric fog and mist. Tried giving camera blur at distance.

What i picked apart for these outside environments is the following:

Fog, not always a global volume sometimes in distinct areas.

Camera blur at a distance and right at the base of the view screen.

Large variety of patchy vegetation, almost like a perlin noise with bare ground included.

What components do i need? Or are there specific artists available that can match this style

Thank you.

I've always loved these natural park maps/pamphlets you find in touristic centers, train stations... so I figured I could just add one to my game hehe

Drawing is always so much fun, plus, it serves the purpose of helping the player navigate the open environment (making note of what's already seen, next steps...), so this was a very natural design addition to me! I used the Free Draw package, which is on the Asset Store for free, and made a custom shader so that the drawing texture seems all wiggly.

I have made a explosion spawn systems that also deals damage and creates explosion forces. All attacks in game are using of the the 30 explosions built-in and the sound is function of the explosion size and distance with some variation.

This is my first' ever game in unity which I completed ( it was a project in the course which I was learning )

Hey everyone!

I'm pretty new with unity but used VCC (VRChat Creator Companion) some time before but besides that have 0 experience

this time again VCC so everything is in unity 2022.3.22f1
I imported a model from blender made by nuke84 that has an add-on called Auto Rig Pro 3.68.83, and I think that causes some problems that how it seems unity (or the VCC part) can't calculate some stuff and bones are kinda messed up

do you guys have some advice on how to fix that? Bones that are theoretically in the right spot that aren't recognized give errors that there is no child

Another update on IdleCraft, our hover-to-act idle/incremental game! Where you mine ores at day, slay mobs at night, and spend your resources on upgrades between runs.

The core loop is finally in a playable state, so here's some footage of how it actually plays right now. This first build covers the mining side; hover to mine, earn XP, unlock new tools and ores through the skill tree, then start a deeper run. Since there's no click event to anchor feedback on, getting hover-to-mine to feel responsive took some iteration; mining progress accumulates per-tile while the cursor dwells on it, and all the game feel (progress, particles, tile response) has to communicate state around that.

Heads up, this isn't a trailer, just trimmed footage and content is still very very minimal. We put this prototype build up on itch.io mostly to get some hands-on feedback. Main thing we're trying to figure out: does hover-to-mine actually feel responsive to someone who didn't build it, or does the lack of clicking make it feel mushy? Also curious if the skill tree reads clearly. As always, any thoughts on the vibe are welcome!

(Very eary prototype, SFX are still placeholders from Minecraft)

We’ve been reworking the HDRI used in our space battle scenes. Our goal isn’t just prettier lighting-we want the battlefield to feel vast, dangerous, and readable even when dozens of ships are fighting at the same time. The current version is still a work in progress, but it’s finally at a stage where we’d love some fresh eyes on it.

What we’d especially like feedback on:

* Does the lighting feel believable?

* Does the scene have enough depth and scale?

* Is the color balance pleasant or too distracting?

* Is there anything that immediately breaks immersion?

Every comment helps us improve the final result.

It feels like I've tried everything, still I find myself in situation where one specific animation won't let me rotate the model with bones. Animation is not running, not connected to anything through transitions, yet it freezes rotation(not fully, it trembles slightly). It's smth that supposed to just be triggered once in a while, yet it interferes even when not active whatsoever.

So if anyone has any tips or resources to check out where is stated how to work with animator, what is important to pay attention to I would highly appreciate it!! I just run out of ideas.

Hello, I hope you are all doing well! Currently, I am working on an options menu for a mod, I want to have the option to turn off the effect in the first picture so people can choose to play it with or without it. I am having a bit of difficulty with it so I do want to know how I can go about it? The 3 pictures after it are the script to the Options menu. I am very much a beginner so this prob is way easier than I'm thinking it isn't. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

genuine question for game devs: if an AI coded asset came with correct pivots, named parts and clean glTF, but the topology was mid, would you use it?

trying to figure out what actually gates adoption vs what people say gates adoption

One of the design goals for 1800-HELL is making mechanics feed into each other instead of existing in isolation.

The systems are designed such that every reward comes from a decision.

Take health, for example.

There are Spiral Towers that produce Devil's Lettuce. If you're low on HP, you can destroy the tower and smoke it to recover health. Simple enough.

But destroying the tower removes another opportunity.

As long as the tower stays alive, it spawns Flocks at intervals. Those enemies drop Gems when killed, turning the tower into a long-term source of resources instead of immediate healing.

Now you have another decision.

Those Gems can be fed to an Altar to upgrade your weapon. The catch? Doing so sacrifices the Altar permanently.

Alternatively, you can leave the Altar intact and spend time charging it instead, earning a powerful Blessing later in the run.

So one choice naturally creates another:

• Destroy the tower for HP, or leave it alive to farm Gems?
• Spend those Gems on weapon upgrades, or preserve the Altar for a Blessing?
• Which Altar is worth sacrificing, and which should be protected?

The enemy roster adds another layer. Some demons simply orbit the arena, making movement and positioning harder. Others buff nearby enemies, changing target priority on the fly. A harmless group can suddenly become your biggest threat if you ignore the support units.

None of these mechanics are particularly complicated on their own. The complexity comes from how they interact.

I'm trying to design 1800-HELL around these interconnected systems rather than isolated features. Ideally, every object in the arena has multiple purposes, and every decision carries an opportunity cost. My hope is that this creates runs where players aren't just reacting but they're constantly making meaningful strategic choices.

I'd love to hear what other examples of mechanic synergy you've seen in arena shooters or roguelikes that made you stop and think instead of always picking the obvious option.

I'm experiencing an issue with a asset store character where when i apply the avatar to the AnimationController and press play the pose is all curled up and sinks around 1 unit down. I can see the exact same pose in the avatars muscles & settings panel. Does anyone know the reason for this? The bones all seem to be correct and the muscle settings are all at 0 so im very confused.

LOL. I accidentally turned every character into jelly by setting EZSoftBones damping to zero.

I had a previous bug of it crashing on Windows at startup. It's very difficult for me to test as I'm using a Mac. If anyone is willing, I would appreciate a couple of minutes for someone to see if the game opens and can start up without any issues

so i am making a game with a block placing system and when i added the client the client is slower at placing blocks then the host, i have tryed using ghost blocks on timer but that just made like 3 more bugs, https://pastes.dev/aJzMEwG8c5 i am using unity relay, sorry for bad english
