I also tried this camera script I found online, which didn't seem to help with the crosshair jitter:

Sprite jitter when using pixel perfect camera and camera movement
[The video looks a bit weird because of gif conversion](https://i.redd.it/zbnq5cx87yke1.gif)
Hi, I am trying to make a pixel art game and I really like the look of the pixel perfect camera where everything is on the pixel grid. However, I am having this issue where moving sprites will jitter as long as the camera is moving. I am using Cinemachine right now, but I have tried a custom camera script, and while it helps with the player's jittering, other sprites still jitter.
I have tried a lot of solutions, including snapping both the camera and the sprite to the pixel grid, but nothing seems to get rid of it. Also have tried disabling dampening, etc. but it seems to happen with basically any camera movement. Would really appreciate any advice or solutions. I am thinking I might have to use something other than the pixel perfect camera as it does not appear to be working well in Unity.
Here is the relevant code:
Input manager:
public class InputManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public static Vector2 Movement;
public static Vector2 Look;
private PlayerInput playerInput;
private InputAction moveAction;
private InputAction lookAction;
private GameObject aimTarget;
private Vector2 lastLookOffset;
[SerializeField] private float aimDistance = 2f;
[SerializeField] private float aimSmoothing = 10f;
[SerializeField] private float gamepadDeadzone = 0.5f;
void Awake()
{
playerInput = GetComponent<PlayerInput>();
moveAction = playerInput.actions["Move"];
lookAction = playerInput.actions["Look"];
aimTarget = GameObject.Find("AimTarget");
if (aimTarget == null)
{
aimTarget = new GameObject("AimTarget");
aimTarget.transform.position = Vector3.zero; // Default position
}
}
void Update()
{
Movement = moveAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();
Look = ProcessLookInput();
//aimTarget.transform.position = new Vector3(Mathf.Round(Look.x * 16) / 16, Mathf.Round(Look.y * 16) / 16, aimTarget.transform.position.z);
aimTarget.transform.position = new Vector3(Look.x, Look.y, aimTarget.transform.position.z);
}
private Vector2 ProcessLookInput()
{
Vector2 lookInput = lookAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();
string controlScheme = playerInput.currentControlScheme;
Vector2 playerPosition = transform.position;
float distanceToPlayer = Vector2.Distance(playerPosition, Look);
if (controlScheme == "KeyboardMouse")
{
//Vector3 mousePosition = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();
return Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(lookInput);
}
else if (controlScheme == "Gamepad" && lookInput.magnitude > gamepadDeadzone)
{
Vector2 aimOffset = new Vector2(lookInput.x, lookInput.y) * aimDistance;
Vector2 targetLook = playerPosition + aimOffset;
lastLookOffset = lookInput.normalized;
return Vector2.Lerp(Look, targetLook, Time.deltaTime * aimSmoothing);
}
else if (controlScheme == "Gamepad")
{
if (lastLookOffset == Vector2.zero)
{
lastLookOffset = new Vector2(1, 0);
}
return Vector2.Lerp(Look, (playerPosition + (lastLookOffset * aimDistance * 0.5f)), Time.deltaTime * aimSmoothing);
}
return Look;
}
}
Player controller:
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
[Header("Movement")]
[SerializeField] private float moveSpeed = 5f;
[SerializeField] private float smoothTime = 0.1f;
[Header("References")]

Unity just laid off the entire staff for their Behavior package...
Source (forums): https://discussions.unity.com/t/an-update-on-behavior/1598451
For those that don't know, Behavior package is a recent package announced months back as a visual tool for authoring behaviors used to control non-player characters (NPCs) or objects. Essentially a behavior tree (but it goes beyond that). You might think of Muse AI but they are completely separate packages.
Anyone find this news incredibly disappointing? The package was for once actually very good and it had a use case for a lot of games. The team involved in this has also been very transparent in communications over the updates and has been very active in the forums to answer questions, even adding features that were requested.
What are the executives even thinking here? Killing off a package and its team before it could fully take off. We finally had something good here...

Unity feels more intuitive compared to Unreal?
Hey eveyone, just a dilemma here!
Why does Unity feel more faster and intuitive compared to Unreal it comes to mechanics and concepts, given that like coding especially in unreal c++ and Unity c#. For example, in Unity you would just do one mechanic and add that script to the gameobject to perform that mechanic, whereas in unreal you need to do 2/3 more steps to have that mechanic.
Now from a technical standpoint both have their plus and minus especially for a solo dev with a full time job in a completely different sphere.
Having said that, i may end up moving to Unity for solo game dev while having a full time job.
But have you encountered the same scenario as well?

Dynamic Shadows Isometric 2D
I was trying to add some dynamic shadows and light to my 2D. I did find a solution but it's not really good and it's hard adjust the position of the shadows on account of the differents pivot of the sprites. Also, this method doesn't seem to work for sprites that are more than 1 tile. The system is basically just the instatiated GO of the tile that rotates according to the light position in the scene. Does anyone have a better idea on how I could do this?

Hopefully easy noob question re. Unity's 2d Roguelike tutorial Add Food Resource challenge
New to Unity and going through the 2d Roguelike tutorial. No issues until the first challenges section (part 6) in the "Add A Food Resource" section (link below). Is there anywhere with a useful repository, video, anything to refer to with better guidance:
EASY: Instead of always generating five food prefabs, have your game generate a random number of food based on a range we can customize in the inspector.
I can do this in the code with no issue but can’t figure out how to get it added to the inspector so it is customizable there. I am not even sure if it should be going in the SmallFood prefab Inspector area or the BoardManager.
I am sure these things are very obvious to everyone else experienced here but I am stumped and frustrated after googling and testing for way too long. I am sure I am overcomplicating it but could use help, please. Thanks

Need ressources to solidify my knowledge on Unity programming
Hello,
I have been learning code as a self-taught developer since high school, and now, I'm in my second year of college, but I am not studying computer science.
I have been creating a game with a friend for 1 month, and I have been programming and learning on Unity for 6 months. But even though I have learnt the basics of C# and Unity, I have really had difficulties understanding more complex programming concepts, like having a smooth feel for the player movement. I feel like it's a separate world between me and people that are a bit "professional" in videogame development.
But, when I try to find some tutorials for more advanced people in programming, I don't find anything, and I can't learn more complex programming at school.
So, I wanted to know if you have some resources, written or video-based, to solidify my knowledge of videogame development and programming. It can be long articles, detailed videos, or even some paid resources.
I really want to be very good at programming because, if I can, I want to work in this industry, even if it's not the best period for video games right now.
Sorry if my English is not very good, it's not my mother tongue \^\^'
Thanks!
