Good service for arcade style leaderboard
I’m making a simple arcade style game and I want an online leaderboard for it, similar to arcade leaderboards where it’ll show the top 5 scores and you put your initials in, but my biggest problem with unity’s built in service is that you can’t have repeat scores from players, and you have to sign in, is there a good service for this where you don’t have to sign in and you can have multiple leaderboard entries per player?

We just hit a major milestone and finally put our Steam page live 🎉
Hey everyone 👋
We’ve been working on a singler player social deduction game for a while and we just hit a big milestone for it. The Steam page is finally live.
It’s the first time we’re putting it out there publicly so this is honestly a pretty exciting moment for us.
We’re planning to start playtesting on Steam in the next week or two so this is where things start getting real in terms of how people actually play and react.
If you’re into games about figuring out who doesn’t belong in a group with a bit of tension and misdirection we’d really love for you to check it out and tell us what you think.
Steam page:

And if it looks like something you’d enjoy wishlisting it would genuinely help us a lot 🙏

I made a simple 2D destruction effect for Unity
Hey everyone,
I was working on a small prototype and kept feeling like destroying objects just felt flat.
So I built a lightweight system to make 2D sprite destruction a bit more satisfying.
It’s nothing crazy, just trying to make those small moments feel better.
Curious what you think — does this kind of feedback actually make a difference in your games?

I have a question about UI-related scripts.
Would it generally be better to create and manage UI scripts for the inventory, settings, minimap, etc., individually rather than integrating them?

Some hurdles I got over when integrating Skillz SDK with my Unity for prize tournaments
Been building a mobile arcade game (Combat Corridor) and integrated the Skillz SDK for real-money skill tournaments. Took way longer than expected to get right.
Main issues I ran into:
* Apple Pay sandbox testing didn't work the way the Skillz docs described
* Tournament flow needed significant customization to feel native
* Push notification setup had some gotchas not covered in the docs
Happy to share what I learned if anyone is going down this path. Drop a comment if you want specifics on any of it.

An INCREDIBLY frustrating issue with Unity itself, is there any fix?
I've been learning to make code for games in unity for a few months now, and don't get me wrong, I love it. Being able to make your own little world is great.
Except for one, singular issue:
It is SLOW
Every time you tab back in, every time you make a file, every time you hit play or start, it gives that 'hold on' message for a full minute.
Hell sometimes it just seems to do it for fun. I'll have looked something up on my phone to see what might be going wrong, and I turn back and it's doing it again.
I really want to keep using it, but it's so frustrating when I'm waiting for Unity to get its shit together for more time than I'm making anything.
Is there any kind of remedy or fix for this? I've looked everywhere I can think of, and can't find anything that works for me. Is it just my device? I can't really tell.

Why I stopped using Trello for game dev notes and attached them directly to my GameObjects instead
I still use Trello for high level planning and roadmaps. But for anything that lives inside the project, it never really worked.
I'd write things like "fix the broken trigger on the door - Mansion scene, second floor, office door" and then spend way too much time figuring out which door I meant, in which scene, with which script attached. The Trello note existed, but without context.
It made me think of Word. Imagine if Word didn't let you add comments to text - you'd write "there's a typo in paragraph 3, line 4" in a separate document. That's essentially what we do in game development - describing locations instead of marking the objects directly.
The other thing that bothered me. There was no good place to put documentation for game objects or assets. Documentation often gets placed in separate documents if at all. If I wanted to learn more about a game object or asset, I would need to search through scattered files in the hope of finding some information. Often times figuring a system out again takes less time than finding documentation. But now I can just attach a warning note saying "Do NOT enable gravity on this Rigidbody - controlled by the movement script" this gets displayed directly on the object itself. Allowing me to warn and inform anyone who wants to touch something in the future. It is knowledge that lives on that component permanently - visible to anyone who touches it, including myself six months later.
For that reason I built a tool that attaches notes directly to GameObjects, components, prefabs, and assets inside Unity. Colour-coded icons appear in the Hierarchy so you can see at a glance what has bugs, warnings, or documentation. When I find something during playtesting I can't fix immediately, I attach a note to the exact object and keep going. A Notes Feed window shows everything that still needs attention. There's also a Pinboard where I can pin the scripts, scenes and assets for a specific task - one click to jump between them, delete the page when done.
Trello still handles the roadmap. This handles everything inside the project.
The tool has come a long way. Curious how other (solo) devs keep context alive across long projects - what's your current workflow for documentation and keeping everything in mind?

Imagine: a fragile girl with rare abilities can travel between worlds, fight monsters, and collect glowing particles from them. These particles open a portal to the next world—deeper and more dangerous.
And at the very end, an epic boss awaits you—a beautiful girl with a mass of writhing tentacles...
The game is called The Rift Between—short, atmospheric, and quite unusual.
