Check your cables
So I was having super slow project load times and was ranting about Unity.
After another 15 minutes of the editor loading, I finally opened Task Manager to see if there was a bottleneck.
CPU was at 5%, RAM at 10%, but my SSD was at 100% while reading only 10 MB/s???
I googled it, and one suggestion said it could be a loose cable.
So I opened my PC and reconnected the SSD, and boom! it went back to 500 MB/s and Unity became super fast again.
Turns out the cable probably got loose when I cleaned the PC a few weeks ago.
Lesson learned: before blaming Unity, open Task Manager and check if your hardware is actually working properly.
Thank you.

HOBBY / REVSHARE Barista to the Dead — Indie Game Collaboration Post (in need of developers!!)
Barista to the Dead — Indie Game Collaboration Post (in need of developers!!)
I’ve had an indie game concept for a long time that I finally want to make real, and I’m looking to collaborate with passionate developers and 2D artists who enjoy story-driven psychological horror.
# Game Idea:
Barista to the Dead is a 2D cozy psychological horror game set in a midnight café in a forgotten town. You serve visitors who share personal stories, regrets, and strange moments. Instead of taking normal orders, you craft drinks based on emotional subtext and clues, which shift each character’s story path, stability, and the direction of the mystery around the town.
# Who I’m looking for:
Game developers experienced in 2D game creation (engine flexible: Unity, Godot, or Unreal) + Also willing to help me learn and work on the project more comfortably.
Artists willing to help with:
Backgrounds/scenes
Character/customer art
Sprites / in-game assets
Collaborators who are excited about emotional storytelling, limbo-style mystery, and surreal psychological horror
# About Collaboration & Payment
This is a free passion project, not a funded job post.
There is no guaranteed pay until we assemble the team and confirm the scope
Payment or revenue splits would only be discussed after recruitment and after the game releases
Right now, we’re just seeing if this will become a lasting team project
If it does move forward, pay would only come post-launch through any revenue the game generates
Multiple collaborators are welcome, even if you can only do part of a role
\ If you’re a beginner or amateur but passionate, still apply! Your talent might be exactly what the project needs.
# Extra Info
This is my first game project (I handle writing and concepts myself)
I’m committed to learning the technical side with help from collaborators
I have character ideas, lore, and mood direction already written
I want to work with people who are excited to build something emotional, surreal, cozy, and haunting together
# If you're interested, please comment or DM with:
What role you want
Your portfolio or past work
The engine you prefer (if you're a dev)
Anything else you bring to the team!
NOTE:
This work has not been started yet. After I select collaborators, I will create a Discord server and we will begin early planning and asset preparation. The main thing I need from the developers joining is help understanding the technical reality of the concept—what’s feasible, how to scope it, and how to shape the game into something achievable.
I’m looking for people who can help me translate ideas into structure, especially when it comes to pacing, playtime, town/scene complexity, and overall development scale. Once the team is formed, we can start mapping things out together and dividing responsibilities.
If you're interested in joining, feel free to share your Discord usernames below or message me privately with your portfolio, relevant work, and what makes you a good fit for the project. Passion, curiosity, and creativity are all welcome—just show what you can do and what excites you about collaborating on a story-driven game.
If you think you’d be a good fit but are still learning or experimenting, you’re still welcome to reach out. This stage is about finding people who want to build, explore, and problem-solve together.

Sharing the scripts and code I use to create component based UI with the UI Toolkit in a code first/programmatic approach
Sharing it incase someone else who also prefers to do stuff through code might find it useful. And since I've seen a lot of people mention they dislike working with the UI Toolkit (and personally I find it easy to work with, so maybe someone else might also find it useful)
The scripts and code: https://github.com/TonWonton/UnityUIToolkit_ComponentBasedCodeFirst
They are licensed with the MIT-0 No Attribution license, which means you can do basically anything with/to it. Don't even have to give credit/attribution or include the license file if you use it in anything.
TLDR of what the scripts do and how it works is
- On the gameobject theres one "top level" UI script that you add whatever UI controllers you want on it
- The UI controllers are then initialized which causes them to create the elements related to them
- The "top level" UI script then handles the logic for the overall state and the UI controllers handle the functionality and logic for themselves and it's elements (it can be coded to do whatever you want ofc. but thats atleast what I use it for)
So basically composition where most parts should be modular and reusable (depending on how you use/code it), such as the elements themselves, UI controllers, and also the gameobject and "top level" UI if you make it into a prefab.
Its also almost fully automated. It will automatically create the elements and then remove the elements when the gameobject is destroyed or disabled, as well as register or unregister C# events at the same time by just filling out a few methods with a few lines of code.
With this workflow basically all of the work can be done with the IDE or text editors. I only have to use the UnityEditor to create a gameobject that holds the UIDocument and attach the scripts I want to use on it.
Its a code first approach so you have to write code for the stuff you create such as writing custom elements and the logic/functionality for them (also all the scripts are abstract classes so theres nothing you can use out of the box without coding sorry lol). I've written a lot about it and how I use it in the README on the github page, as well as included a lot of examples and other scripts I find useful. There might ofc. be better approaches to doing UI (tbh I'm not the most experienced in coding and Unity so not sure) but I hope atleast someone might find it useful. If you have any questions or would like to see more or specific examples feel free to ask.

Effectively Instantiate and Destroy gameobjects?
So, I am working on a 2d side scroller game like burrito bison. Currently I am having the ground prefab removed and created when player reaches a certain distance, but there is a huge spike in performance and I can see the jittering. Abit more details about it.. Its a pixel art game with resolution 640 x 360 and I have tried with upcapping the FPS, but that didn't worked either.
One solution I can think of is using object pooling technique (which I most likely would) but what I wanted to know is how some games handle destroying/creating new game objects or enemies? Like how is it done in vampire survivor or like platformer games?
If anyone can help me understand this it would be huge help. Thanks

Probuilder 6 Sucks
Every single update to probuilder it seems like they want to make it harder and harder for people to use! Why did they get rid of the window? It makes everything 10x slower and there are no upsides! I have to go through basically a maze of menus to get to the tool I want to use. It was so fast before just to click on the icon for the tool I wanted to use!
Are there any alternatives to Probuilder that I can use to make maps and environments fast?
EDIT: Found a fix!
After installing the new version of Probuilder, Go into your project folder, then packages, then manifest.json and change the version number of com.unity.probuilder to 5.0.7 and it works! (I have no idea if this introduces bugs but its working for me at the moment.)

Pokémon-style
So I have a game idea/name with multiple word documents with information including a skeleton/body, missions, map-layout. But i want to actually play it. Lol a brief background to give this game reasoning, I just graduated from Saint Louis University for Cannabis Science and Operations and have taken the deep dive into this industry. I do not want or intend to offend anyone, this is just a dream I have been have been having and I find its about time for it to become a reality.
Game Idea
Top-down, Pokémon-style progression game, where players become master growers by exploring distinct neighborhoods, completing missions, and cultivating unique seeds. You start from "The Block," the hub, and unlock North, South, East, and West districts, each with its own vibe and NPC contacts. By completing missions, you earn seeds, grow them in your Safehouse, and harvest flower for Street Cred. That Street Cred lets you upgrade your gear, unlock more missions, and climb toward Level 100. It’s all about the joy of planning, growing, and unlocking the top cultivars!
