News about the Unity engine and project showcases from Reddit. Made possible with @reddit2telegram (@r_channels).
What’s the best character or avatar SDK you’re actually using right now?
Trying to level up my character stuff for some Unity projects goin into 2026, but every dev I talk to, swears by some totally diff system. So I’m like alright, guess I’ll just ask the Unity crowd since yall usually have the most battle-tested takes lol.
What’s the best character or avatar SDK you’re actually using right now? I’ve messed with a few but none of them really clicked. Ready Player Me comes up a lot, Mixamo is ok for quick junk, and I’ve seen ppl mention UMA or CC4 but idk what’s actually good for real games anymore.
Lookin for something solid, customizable, not a total setup nightmare, and doesn’t tank perf. Bonus if it works across diff render pipelines without everything exploding.
So yeah… what’s my best option here? Open to try anything

New Unity Hub Update: ARM64 fixes, Linux stability, and improved project management.
**New Unity Hub update just dropped, and there are some massive Quality of Life improvements in here.**
https://preview.redd.it/pl8har22xa6g1.png?width=2752&format=png&auto=webp&s=23ddeb1756becaed77258902d3524e8ee1ead7fe
For anyone who juggles a day job and personal projects, the new **"Switch account"** feature is a lifesaver—it logs you out of Hub and Web simultaneously so you can swap organizations instantly.
**Other big wins:**
* **No more phantom projects:** If a project is missing, it now actually says "Project not found" (with an option to remove it) instead of lying that it’s "Already open in Editor."
* **Window Control:** Windows/Linux users can finally choose if hitting the "X" button minimizes to the tray or actually quits the app.
* **Template Search:** You can search templates by description now, not just the title.

Problem with WebGL and unity input system
So my game has a jump button and once it is released I run some code. That released feature is working in the editor, but isn't when published as a web game with webGL. I have tested this with new programs that are simpler and still this problem seems to come up.
I also did a test with onFootActions.Jump.isPressed() and the isPressed() does not turn off at the right moment like it does in the editor (I don't know if that is even relevant, but still)
This is the code in the InputManager (simplified to only the inputs that matter here):
using UnityEngine;
public class InputManager : MonoBehaviour
{
private PlayerInput playerInput;
private PlayerInput.OnFootActions onFootActions;
private PlayerMovement playerMovement;
private void Awake()
{
playerInput = new PlayerInput(); //(This is the input class)
onFootActions = playerInput.OnFoot;
playerMovement = GetComponent<PlayerMovement>();
onFootActions.Jump.started += context => playerMovement.JumpStarted(); //(this works)
onFootActions.Jump.canceled += context => playerMovement.JumpCanceled(); //(this doesn't work)
}
private void OnEnable()
{
onFootActions.Enable();
}
private void OnDisable()
{
onFootActions.Disable();
}
}
Here is the code of the player movement (again not how the real script looks (it is waaayy longer)):
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public void JumpStarted()
{
// This code runs fine in the web build
}
public void JumpCanceled()
{
// This code doesn't run in the web build
}
}
It works perfectly in the editor, but once it is ran in the browser it doesn't (only the canceled part, the started works just fine)
I checked if maybe it did get called and something in the function was broken, but it wasn't so I'm quite sure that it is a problem with the .canceled not being called.
I don't know why this is and how I can fix this, please help

What is the best way to create UI Popups for games?
I am implementing a Popup Manager in my economy based tool. The popups inform the user about purchases, trades (completed or failed).
Right now the pop ups are instantiated in a fixed position on the screen but they overlap each other when multiple appear (buying a item 5 times in a row). I want to remake popups to be more presentable and clear for the user.
I am thinking of using a scroll view and adding the popups as content of the view in order to display them in order. Popups will fade away and remove themselves from the view making room for the next popups that may appear.
What do you think of this approach? How have you handled Popups in your games and what is the best approach you would recommend?

Bug when running game after Build
So, game (2d platformer ofc im noob) works pretty ok in Simulator and otherwise in Editor so in order to amuse myself, I build it (did not touch any build settings whatsoever). Anyways, game does not work well as build. Character just falls through level eternally. Where i seen this bug? Yeh everywhere, so no shame.
Anyway, how do you debug a game after build? Any common reasons why 2d pixelboi falls through level in build but not in editor/simulator?

Well, as you will have understood if you have already taken a look at my previous post, my character has a diving system that only works when you press Shift as soon as you jump into the air (with the Z key), and while the character dives and reaches the ground, he remains frozen unless you press Z again. The problem is that I can only do this once after pressing “play” to start the game. Once I've dived once and pressed Z to stop being frozen, I can no longer dive with Shift when I jump, even though I want to be able to do it as many times as I want. So I followed the advice of some of you, but it didn't change anything!
So I ended up wondering if it wasn't a problem related to the inspector. So I'm sending you photos of the inspector for the two GameObjects concerned, as well as those of their “children”.

Building a 2D Game (Awesomenauts x Street Fighter x MOBA). Looking for feedback on systems + workflow.

Hey everyone,
I’m working with a small team on a 2D PvP multiplayer project in Unity, and I’d love some feedback from other devs who’ve tackled similar challenges.
* **Fast, responsive movement** (air control, dashes, cancels)
* **Character-based PvP** with unique kits
* **Objective / lane pressure** but simplified for shorter matches
* **Server-authoritative multiplayer**
* **A mix of hitbox / hurtbox combat** with cooldown-based abilities
We have a rough demo working, but it’s early and not polished — we’re mainly making sure the *core feel* and *combat systems* land before we move deeper.

There are torn banners hanging from the roof in this Celeste level that are fluttering in the wind: https://youtu.be/cX9NJPwseIQ?t=202
This is a single sprite that's being animated. Can this be done using a shader? A sprite skin perhaps? I've got a grass shader that's somewhat similar, but it doesn't have that clean-cut pixel appearance.

Importing from Aseprite
I have a ton of pixel art animation frames in Aseprite - I've made an export script that generates per-tile .aseprite files from a master tileset (each file is one animated tile).
When I import those .aseprite files, Unity auto-generates animation clips and an animator controller, and this is perfect for what i need, but both are read-only. They all work great, I just can't edit.
I tried duplicating the clip and controller and that works until i restart Unity - then back to default.
Is there a way around this without manually importing/slicing all my spritesheets?

Getting a 2D Light Mask Texture (ShapeLightTexture03 or something equivalent) in Full Screen Shader Graph
I’m trying to achieve a shader effect where the unlit, dark sections of my screen will have a noise texture offset by time to achieve kind of like a static effect.
Currently I have a full screen shader with just the noise part done but i cant figure out how to get a mask that masks out the lit and unlit parts (a light mask). I read online and found similar shader effects using _ShapeLightTexture0–3, but that seems to only work in Sprite Unlit Shader Graph.
Reference 1
Discussion Link
Is there any way to achieve this in a full screen shader or is there any workaround for this? Thanks.
