Hi i have a question about marketing your indie game. It s a 2d medieval strategy builder, defender type of game build with unity
So right now i am thinking about sending game to streamers, youtubers. What is better strategy for first game and idie dev (currently i have 1k wishlists).

A (Better?) Parallax Effect in Unity 6+
I decided to revisit a 2D side-scrolling game to take a break from my 2D top-down game, and I vaguely remembered how to do a parallax effect using quads or planes - I couldn't QUITE remember. And, in fact, I still don't remember the exact implementation, because it wasn't this! One of my woes is that a lot of the parallax effects I'm seeing out there touted in tutorials requires using multiple instances of your background image and moving them around or moving the 3x-as-wide image as you walk. Well, through a combination of my sprites "snapping" to the center of the latter, and not wanting to juggle the former, I wanted to go back to the original way I learned using a 3D quad that you put the texture on, and scrolling through the offset of an image set to repeat. (Naturally this method expects the image to loop).
This is the way that I did it, but you can do otherwise for your workflow and what works best for you of course.
1. Find your camera, and right-click -> 3D Object -> Quad.
2. Find your background image you want to have "parallax", click on it wherever it is in your Assets.
3. Change the texture type to "Default", make sure Alpha Source is "Input Texture Alpha", check the "Alpha is Transparency" box if it is not already.
4. Set the Wrap Mode to repeat, Filter Mode to "Point (no filter)", and the Compression to none.
5. Next, you will drag that image onto the Quad GameObject in the scene list. This will create a materials folder with the material on that Quad GameObject.
6. Resize the GameObject to fill your camera view appropriately.
7. I had to change the Z value position of these quads, rather than being able to use sorting layers, so take from that what you will.
8. Next, copy the below script into a new script and add that to the background element.
9. Assign the values in the inspector as you wish. You may want to keep the values between 1 and 10 or so depending on how quickly you want the image to scroll.
You can use this and incorporate it in your workflow however you want, this is just a basic implementation and there may be more optimal ways of doing this.
using UnityEngine;
public class ParallaxBackground : MonoBehaviour
{
Range(1, 100)
SerializeField private float parallaxHorizontalEffectMultiplier = 5f;
SerializeField private float parallaxVerticalEffectMultiplier = 5f;
private Material material;
private Vector3 lastPosition;
private void Start()
{
material = GetComponent<Renderer>().material;
lastPosition = transform.position;
}
private void LateUpdate()
{
Vector3 delta = transform.position - lastPosition;
float offsetX = delta.x (parallaxHorizontalEffectMultiplier / 1000f);
float offsetY = delta.y (parallaxVerticalEffectMultiplier / 1000f);
material.mainTextureOffset += new Vector2(offsetX, offsetY);
lastPosition = transform.position;
}
}

I Spent Months Creating This – Now I’m Giving It Away FREE!
Hello everyone, I’ve put months of work into creating this 16x16 pixel art bundle, and I want to share it with the game dev community. To give something back, I’m making it free for the first 5 people until Friday!
In return, all I ask is for your honest feedback on the bundle. And if you think it deserves it, a positive rating would really help more people discover it.
PS: To reserve your spot, just send me a quick DM to show your interest, and I’ll get back to you!
For More information check out my **Itch.io page**!

For the first time in my 6 year career, there isn't a single Unity Job Posting in my country.
I'm wondering if others have noticed a change in Unity Job Postings. I've enjoyed a 2.5 year Unity Developer contract that is expiring in a month.
2 years ago I had 4 unity job opportunities to choose from. I've been looking at the market for the last 3 months and there's been zero postings. This is nation wide (Australia).
I'm hoping it's just an anomaly, but at this stage I might have to give up on a game dev career. It's disappointing to have nothing to aspire to in the market.

i am making my first 3d game and i am trying pixel art but when i bulild the game everything is blurry. i am using 320x180 for my games reselution and i am trying to play it on my 1920x1080 screen. is should be fine since 1080p is 6 times larger but idk where the smoothing is coming from. it is crisp inside the unity editor in the game window so idk what is happening

Should I make sprites for 3840×2160 pixels if I am making a non pixel art game ? What other settings should I change to 3840×2160 in the Engine ?
No pixel art. Think it will be line art or vector art.
If I make the assets in 1920*1080 and then import to Unity then unity will have to upscale them for 2560×1440 and 3840×2160 monitors right ? And that will cause blurriness or something ?
So I have to make everything for 3840×2160 and set the Game Scene resolution and my UI canvases Reference Resolution to 3840×2160 right ? What other settings should I change ?
But the other way around is no problem ? I mean If I make it for 3840×2160 then it won't cause any issues for 1920*1080 monitors and It will look all good and crisp ?
Sorry for asking all of this. I only have a 1920*1080 monitor so I can't try these things myself.

TextTween - a library that uses Burst+Jobs to animate your texts
https://reddit.com/link/1jia5nw/video/4cc3dmp98iqe1/player
TextTween is a lightweight library I've made that uses Job system and Burst to animate TMP text letters as you wish.
There are 3 premade modifiers(WarpModifier, ColorModifier, TransformModifier) although this can be increased by extending the Modifier class.
Take a look and let me know what you think ❤️: https://github.com/AlicanHasirci/TextTween

IntelliJ Idea x Unity Problem
Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my intelliJ Idea and Unity setup. I use intelliJ Idea instead of Visual Studio. But when I have an error in my code, either Syntax or Logic. It doesn't underline it red, I only see the error when it finishes compiling in unity in the console error box pause. And it gets very annoying having to go back and fix tiny mistakes constantly because I didnt see it the first time. If anyone knows a solution, or could hop on a call, that would be appreciated.

Hey I have a bit of a question. Does anyone know How to art from Scratch/turbowarp to Unity?
I've tried a bunch of different art software, but nothing really clicks for me. Drawing with a mouse is super tough, and I’m not a fan of it. I find it way easier to create stuff using blocks and shapes since they’re simpler to work with. Plus, I really want to get into Unity.
And I'm sorry if my reply sounds like a robot made it but I'm using Grammarly because I suck at spelling and I use a mic to write stuff down for my computer.
