Issue with the old input system
I am developing a mobile game and running the device simulator in the unity editor.
I implemented some touch events that work fine on mobile, but for quick testing, i want to be able to do them in the editor using keyboard and mouse.
For example I am trying to maps moue scrolling to zoom in/out, but these events are not registering in the simulator window (not even in the game window).
Debug.Log("Trying scroll & keyboard"); // works fine
if (Input.mouseScrollDelta.y != 0) {
Debug.Log("Scroll"); // doesn't work when scrolling
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)) {
Debug.Log("W"); // doesn't work when typing W
}
Any workaround to be able to do this in the editor? Thanks

Is my 2D character too tall for my game?
Hi! I'm currently developing a 2D horror action game and I've finally settled on an art style I like.
My problem is, my main characyer's sprite is 77 pixels tall and 21 pixels wide.
For context, this is going to be a 3/4 top down game in the style of the old Zelda games or Undertale. And those games typically have pretty short characters, which is why I'm a little concerned.
Id rather know now so I could redesign the character than create a full sprite sheet which I might have to redo from the ground up.
So would the current character work anyway, or will it cause issues down the line?
Thanks!

Why is my game so pixelated?
Hi I'm very new using unity. When I use the assets that I have which are in a resolution of 1024x1024 they look very pixelated in the game display and I don't know why. Also when I move some assets they usualy change a little bit which can be annoying.

Unity + Dolphinbar (wiimote) motion controls
Hi all, I am making a game with wiimote inputs using a dolphinbar to connect the controller to my computer. Using mode 3, I can use 'listen' in the inputs action editor to get all my inputs working. All aside from motion controls. I cant even tell if motion controls are part of mode 3. When playing games in dolphin emulator (using mode 4 - wiimote emulator mode), motion controls work fine but when trying to use it in unity, I cant find anyway to recieve any input from it. I am aware of all the libraries that exist but they are outdated to the version of unity that I am working in (6000.1.11f1) as well as I am a bit clueless on how to use any of them. Any help is appriciated.

What if the Mayan underworld was the setting for a game?
I would like to develop an idea called "Xibalbá", a video game inspired by the Mayan culture.
The story begins with an explorer who, while defending a "cenote", ends up accidentally entering the "xibalba" because he was curious to explore a ruined temple.
There he will have no choice but to cross the four paths and the six houses and finally face the lords of "Xibalbá", ("Hun-Camé" and "Vucub-Camé").
The goal would be to leave the underworld and return to the land of the living.
How was it? 🌟

2D animation on canvas
I need help. I'm making a scene using IEnumerators and buttons in a canvas and I want a short animation to play after a scripted sequence, but it just doesn't work. I'm not an expert in unity, but I know how basic "single-image" animations work (in a canvas), but I want to basically loop 2 images very quick for like 3 seconds and then go back to the rest of the scripted scene.
public GameObject bathtubAnimation;
IEnumerator BathtubEvent()
{
MusicManager.instance.GetComponent<AudioSource>().Pause();
bathtubAnimation.SetActive(true);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(3);
bathtubAnimation.SetActive(false);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
etc etc...
}
Something like that for example, where I can set the object with the animation to true, wait, and then set it to false.
I've tried finding a tutorial for what Im specifically looking for, but I can't find anything. Please help : (

Need Help Understanding SRP Batcher Behavior in 2D URP (Parallax + UI Optimization on iOS)
Hey everyone!!
I’m new to 2D iOS game development and have been slowly optimizing my game step-by-step. My first goal is making sure the parallax background and player UI are fully optimized before I move on.
I’ve been stuck on this all day and figured I’d ask the experts here 😅
Basically, I’ve been analyzing the Frame Debugger and noticed how the SRP Batcher is grouping my draw calls. I’m using the 2D Renderer (URP), and the screenshots show the batching events for one frame.
Here’s what I’m seeing:
\#1: My game’s background
\#2: Water layer (makes sense because separate material/layer?)
\#3: Parallax layers 3–9
\#4: Parallax layer 2 only
\#5: Parallax layers 1 and 10
There’s no dynamic lighting in the game so it’s just a colorful arcade-style 2D project which means I plan to switch to the Sprite-Unlit shader later(I would like to know the science behind what is going on). But right now, only one SRP batch seems to be using it (shown in screenshot #2).
My questions are:
* Why is the SRP Batcher grouping the elements this way?
* Could this be caused by different materials/shaders or large vertex counts?
* Does it matter that I’m running in Development Build with Deep Profiler enabled?
* And most importantly, does this batching pattern mean I’m doing something wrong, or is it normal behavior?
* Is there any guide to tackling a lag spike that you guys can help me figure out since it says the spike is coming from scripts and vsync?
When I play the game on my iPhone, it runs smoothly — no visible lag — but in the Profiler, I still see noticeable spikes, and I’d love to understand whether they’re related to improper batching or just debug overhead.
If anyone here is experienced with Unity 2D URP optimization and would be open to helping me understand or even mentoring me through some of this, I’d be more than happy to compensate you for your time (commission or consulting-style).
I’m really ambitious about this project and want to learn how to debug and optimize it properly. Any advice, resources, or insights would mean the world 🙏
Thanks so much in advance!

How do you approach a melee combat system?
I'm stumped on how to implement a melee combat system. I'm trying to make it an advanced one, where users can edit their movesets.
It's not quite like a fighting game. If anything, it'd be somewhat similar to the Nioh 2 skill tree, but in 2D, of course.
How do you guys approach this? I tried the following but there are some things I can't quite get right.
* **Finite State Machines:** This gets pretty wonky. I tried two ways: A state for each attack, which is obviously really unsustainable in the long term if I want to have an advanced skill tree, and it just seemed silly adding a state for every single attack. And the other way is just 3 states of "Light", "Medium" and "Heavy" attacks. This seems to be the way to go *on paper* but I'm not sure how to actually handle this codewise? How do I attach animations to each state this way?
Can I use Scriptable Objects to store attack data? In that case, how do I handle the hitboxes? Are they in the code, or in the animation itself as key events? How do I even handle hitboxes if each attack is unique? Do I include start-up frames, active frames and recovery frames in the SO itself or is it a part of the animation events?
How do I do all of this with the *minimum* number of 'systems' possible so it's good design that's easy to expand upon? (This is more of an engineering question ig)
It's very complex for someone like me who's just trying to figure things out. I'm fine doing very simple things like regular attacks, a single keybound ability (ala Hollow Knight-type of combat) but once I want to add variety and customization it just gets REALLY complicated.
