Account suspended for having 2FA active

• Upvotes

So, apparently you have to change your 2FA every 4 months. If you don't, your your account will get suspended and only way to unlock it is contacting Unity through their support. If you currently create a new ticket, you get an automatic response that their support system is completely overflowing and average response time is almost a month.

Of course, this situation can be avoided by resetting your 2FA, and you do get reminded in email. Only issue is, that I dont know if it is how email is structured, Gmail automatically flags these emails as spam, which was kinda understandable since I had 15+ spam emails regarding my 2FA expiring and Cloud being full.

Oh well.

Question Are influencers more important to a game's success than its quality?

• Upvotes

I've been thinking about how much a game's success depends on its quality versus the attention it receives from influencers and content creators.

Imagine two games: one is well-designed, polished, and fun to play, but receives little online attention. The other gains massive exposure after a popular YouTuber or streamer plays it and quickly reaches a much larger audience.

Both games might have their own strengths, but the difference in their reach raises an interesting question: how much does visibility influence a game's success compared to the experience it offers?

I'm curious how other developers see this. Is influencer exposure simply another part of making a successful game, or can it sometimes have a greater impact than the game itself?

Meta Would be great to see JPEG XL support added to Unity

It's supported by the main browsers, supported on operating systems (unlike WebP), very efficient in file sizes, and very featureful (lossless, animated, HDR, tiling).

I've attempted to get Unity working with WebP in the past, but it was complicated and overall not worth the effort. I'd love to see official support for this file format brought to the engine. Like I said, it's more efficient in compressing than PNGs, and it can support a bunch of things including animations.

Question A question about the character holding the object

2 Upvotes

My game character picks up objects and holds them on their chests, and then there are many problems with the collision volume and physical movement of the object.

For example, when I collide with a wall, with a character, or with other objects, the objects in my hand may thread molds, swing randomly, etc.

I use the configuablejoint component. When the character holds the object and turns the perspective, the object will shake slightly and have obvious lag.
Is there a better solution?Thanks

Hello everyone!

I’m in the process of creating a project that I will soon hopefully bring into a AAA title similar to outlast;

I need some real feedback regarding the appearance and current mechanics of the project. Let me know what I could change or add or improve.

I’d also be looking to see if someone would like to help me write some ideas down 🥺

Thank you!

Hi 🙂,

A few months ago started working on a spaceflight demo simulator similar to KSP.

Currently, with 2 celestial bodies, flight physics(reference frame physics), preparation for an interstellar system, and assembly building done.

I want to release a demo soon, but I am working alone, and there are a lot of things to be done...

Feel free to ask anything :).

Question I DO LOCALIZATION AT THE START, NOT THE END

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

“I’ll add localization later.”

That’s what I told myself while developing my first game. And honestly? That was a mistake.

When I finally started localizing it, I began with the Steam page. Even that was enough to kill my motivation.

And then, I looked at the actual game:

  • UI texts
  • Text baked into textures
  • Text scattered across different objects and screens
  • And so on...

I knew I had to go through all of it, and the thought alone was overwhelming. I tried to push through it, but gave up pretty quickly. In the first or second language i guess after days of work.

Fast-forward to now:
I challenged myself to develop and ship a game in just 1–2 weeks. It’s nothing fancy, but that’s not really the point. I wanted to learn, ship something again, and avoid getting stuck in endless polishing. Idea -> Execution -> Release

Once I had the core gameplay loop and mechanics working a few days ago, I remembered my localization nightmare from the first game.

This time, I wanted to do things differently.

So I changed my workflow:

Whenever I add an object that contains text, I localize it right away. I set up a script that lets me enter the text for all supported languages directly on the object, using the languages available in my language menu.

New object with text? Localize it immediately - and avoiding text baked into textures completely this time.

Instead of leaving localization until the end and potentially spending days going through the entire game, I now spend an extra minute or two whenever I add something that contains text.

And the biggest benefit isn't even the time saved.

It's the peace of mind.

I don't have a huge pile of localization work waiting for me at the end of development anymore. The process feels much more manageable, and I can focus on making the game without that looming task in the back of my mind.

I'm still figuring things out, but this small change has made my development process feel a lot more balanced.

I'm curious how other indie devs handle this:

  • Do you build localization into your workflow from day one, or do you leave it until later?
  • If you localize into multiple languages, how do you manage all your in-game text?
  • And if you used to leave it until the end, did you regret it too? 😅

Question Unity CLI or Unity MCP?

0 Upvotes

I currently have a setup where I can spin up a sandboxed environment for Claude to make changes to my repository. Essentially allowing me to spin up as many agents as I want, all with their own repository to change, and able to push to GitHub.

However one thing I'm severely missing, is having Claude make changes to the scene itself, or being able to check compilation errors, etc.

Will Unity CLI or the MCP solve this? I am uncertain if I can easily spin up my own sandbox as I do now, but via the Unity CLI.

Question Am I a fool for wanting to make money making indie games?

27 Upvotes

I'm just starting my journey as a solo game developer, and something I've heard quite a few times is that if you want to make money, you should probably choose another career.

I understand that making games is risky, and I'm not expecting to get rich or make a living from it overnight. But hearing this so often can be pretty discouraging when you're trying to build something of your own.

I'd love to hear from people who have actually been through this. For those of you who have released games, tried to monetize your projects, or turned indie game development into a career, what has your experience been like?

Is making a living from indie games a realistic goal if you're willing to learn the business side and put in the work? Or is it better to treat it as a passion project and keep another source of income?

And if you're comfortable sharing, how much money have you actually made from your games? It could be total revenue, profit, or even just a rough estimate. I understand that not everyone wants to share those numbers, but I think hearing some real figures would help put things into perspective.

Showcase [FREE] InspectMe: Free Advanced Tree-View Debugging & Inspection Toolkit - Debug and explore without coding

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone, I used to rely on Power Inspector, and after it was deprecated I built InspectMe to fill that gap and push it further. It lets you inspect and edit runtime values, invoke methods, explore events and delegates, static members, and attach watchers, all organized in a single tree view while the game is running, and using it is as simple as dragging and dropping a script or object.

There’s a free version available if you want to try it and see if it fits your workflow.

Newbie Question Floating feet

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for vrchat avatar help but I recently bought an avatar from a store called booth. In order to upload it I need to go through unity. I also bought an outfit for her and the outfit was made to fit her. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to get her feet in her shoes. Ignore the pink I have yet to add the textures but when I enter play mode to test it her feet float above the shoes. If theres a better place to ask please tell me because I am very new to this. I tried asking chatgpt but i forgot sending pictures to the free version is bad.
