A different way to do stylized eyes in Unity. I made a fully procedural eye setup with a shader that has parallax and custom specular.

How do you explain being an indie game developer to non-tech family/relatives?
Hey everyone,
I’m a full-time indie game developer, and I’ve run into a surprisingly annoying problem 😅
Whenever relatives or family friends ask me “What are you doing these days?”, I say “I’m an indie game developer.”
And almost immediately they respond with:
👉 “Oh nice, which company?”
And that’s where things get awkward…
Trying to explain that I don’t work for a company, I make my own games, sometimes earn from them, sometimes not, etc. just seems to confuse them even more. Most of them don’t really understand the idea of being “independent” in this field.
So I’m curious:
How do you explain this in a simple way that non-tech people actually understand?
Do you just say something else like “I make games” or “I work in software”?
Any funny or relatable experiences with this? 😄
Would love to hear how you all handle this situation!

I heard many times that Unity's terrain system is bad - what should I use instead?
I'm starting work on a game where terrain will be really important, and so I don't want to start with the default system if I'm only gonna replace it later. What's generally recommended as a better alternative to it?
I'd still like to be able to modify the terrain from the editor, and not rely on exports from external programs, at least for the prototyping phase.

How to calculate a perfect card hand arc in Unity UI (that doesn't break when you change screen resolutions)
Man, Unity's Canvas scaling can be so frustrating sometimes.
I’ve been working on a card UI and quickly realized the standard HorizontalLayoutGroup doesn't do fans/arcs. So I wrote a quick script using Mathf.Cos and Sin to place the cards along a circle. It looked great in the editor... until I resized the game window and the whole radius completely broke because of the Canvas Scaler.
After way too much trial and error, I realized the trick is to do all the trigonometry in local space, and then let transform.TransformPoint() do the heavy lifting to convert it to world space. This forces the coordinates to perfectly respect the canvas scale, whether it's on a 4K monitor or mobile.
Here is the core logic in case anyone is dealing with the same headache:
float angleStep = totalArcAngle / (cardCount > 1 ? cardCount - 1 : 1);
float currentAngle = -totalArcAngle / 2;
for (int i = 0; i < cardCount; i++)
{
// 1. Trig on a local 2D plane
float radians = (currentAngle + 90) Mathf.Deg2Rad;
Vector3 localPos = new Vector3(
Mathf.Cos(radians) arcRadius,
Mathf.Sin(radians) arcRadius,
0
) + pivotOffset;
// 2. The fix: Convert to World Space respecting the Canvas Scale
Vector3 worldPos = transform.TransformPoint(localPos);
card.position = worldPos;
card.rotation = transform.rotation Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, currentAngle);
currentAngle += angleStep;
}
Hope this saves someone a few hours of debugging UI math!
