Working on a cozy idle swimming game - collect fish, unlock locations, customize your character and more!
Hey everyone!
I’m making an idle game called Idle Swimmers, where you swim from left to right on your screen.
It’s a mix of relaxing gameplay and idle mechanics, so you can progress even while not actively playing.
You can :
• Collecting 180+ fish
• Unlock 10 locations
• Finding & unlocking pets
• Customize your character however you like
• And catch fish in minigames or while they swim past you
Would love to know what people think of it!
Or if you have ideas for features I should add, I’m all ears!

Weird sprite flipping code issue in my snake game. Please help
https://preview.redd.it/llf3z9de113g1.png?width=113&format=png&auto=webp&s=0620a8c6c7dd2268e26d24bd5fe505253b0bd3d9
I have a top down movement script for the snake, it was made by ChatGPT bc i dont know how to code yet, and theres this weird issue when the snake is turning, and GPT wont give me a fix. When the snake turns left or right, the tail sprite faces upwards, when it turns up or down, the tail sprite turns sideways. The default tail sprite is facing upward, (to my knowledge thats useful info).
Heres the script: using UnityEngine;
public class SnakeMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
[Header("Movement Settings")\]
public float moveSpeed = 5f; // Tiles per second
public float gridSize = 1f; // Distance per move (usually matches cellSize in GameArea)
private Vector2 _direction = Vector2.right;
private Vector2 _nextPosition;
private float _moveTimer;
private float _moveDelay;
private Vector2 _queuedDirection = Vector2.right;
[Header("UI & Game Over")\]
public GameOverManager gameOverManager;
[Header("Body Settings")\]
public Transform bodyPrefab; // Prefab for the snake’s body segments
public List<Transform> bodyParts = new List<Transform>();
[Header("Game Area & Food")\]
public GameArea gameArea; // Reference to your grid area
public GameObject foodPrefab; // Food prefab (tagged "Food")
[Header("Score System")\]
public HighScoreManager highScoreManager; // Handles saving/loading highscore
public RollingScoreDisplay_Manual scoreDisplay; // Displays current score
[Header("Audio Settings")\]
[Tooltip("List of food pickup sound effects to choose randomly from")\]
public List<AudioClip> foodPickupSFX = new List<AudioClip>();
[Tooltip("Audio source used to play SFX")\]
public AudioSource audioSource;
[Header("Timer Reference")\]
public GameTimer gameTimer; // Reference to the timer script
private int currentScore = 0;
private bool isDead = false;
private List<Vector3> previousPositions = new List<Vector3>();
void Start()
{
_moveDelay = gridSize / moveSpeed;
_nextPosition = transform.position;
previousPositions.Add(transform.position); // head
foreach (Transform part in bodyParts)
previousPositions.Add(part.position);
if (scoreDisplay != null)
scoreDisplay.SetScoreImmediate(0);
if (gameTimer != null && gameTimer.startOnAwake)
gameTimer.StartTimer();
}
void Update()
{
if (isDead) return;
HandleInput();
_moveTimer += Time.deltaTime;
if (_moveTimer >= _moveDelay)
{
_moveTimer = 0f;
Move();
}
}
void HandleInput()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) && _direction != Vector2.down)
_queuedDirection = Vector2.up;
else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S) && _direction != Vector2.up)
_queuedDirection = Vector2.down;
else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A) && _direction != Vector2.right)
_queuedDirection = Vector2.left;
else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D) && _direction != Vector2.left)

}
void Move()
{
// Store the previous position of the head
previousPositions[0\] = transform.position;
// Move head
_direction = _queuedDirection;
_nextPosition += _direction * gridSize;
transform.position = _nextPosition;
// Rotate the head
RotateSegment(transform, _direction);
// Move body segments
// Move body segments
for (int i = 0; i < bodyParts.Count; i++)
{
// The segment’s CURRENT real position (frame n)
Vector3 currentPos = bodyParts[i\].position;
// The segment’s NEXT position (frame n+1)
Vector3 nextPos = previousPositions[i\];
// Compute direction BEFORE changing any positions
Vector2 dir = (nextPos - currentPos).normalized;
// Apply rotation immediately (correct frame)
RotateSegment(bodyParts[i\], dir);
// Now update previousPositions
previousPositions[i + 1\] = currentPos;
// Move the actual segment
bodyParts[i\].position = nextPos;
}

The Unity Asset Store hosts an asset made from a Cult Organization and Slave Labor
I just saw this video by CodeMonkeyUnity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC6IGLB4ySg supporting the 'Hot Reload' unity asset and decided to do some digging into the creators of it
Apparently, the creators of the Hot Reload unity asset is called "The Naughty Cult" which, if you google, you'll find this google play store page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gamingforgood.clashofstreamers
And here I accidentally opened a gigantic can of worms. After googling what this "Athene AI" game is about I managed to find several hour long documentaries about an ongoing cult organization in Germany where people work for free under this Naughty Cult company. Where they apparently make IT projects such as this Unity asset, scam projects, AI projects and any other scam under the sun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGErMDEqHig&t=3s
There is also this two hour documentary by PeopleMakeGames talking about this exact same organization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgNXJQ88lfk&t=0s . The video goes over several accounts of sexual assault, harassment and other issues with the organization and their model of people working there for free without ANY payments at all. If you google, the legal organization The Naughty Cult has zero employees. The only employee is Dries Albert Leysen, which is apparently the CEO and also mentioned in the videos above
I also managed to find this reddit thread posted about a month ago by a whistleblower from this organization speaking out against it: https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1oatp5s/whistleblower\_at\_the\_athene\_compound\_finally/
And for those who want to see the unity asset, it's here: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/hot-reload-edit-code-without-compiling-254358?aid=1101l96nj&pubref=hotreloadassetreview
Now, what I'm wondering is why this asset is being allowed on the Unity Asset Store to begin with when it's an illegal entity that utilize slave labor to make their unity assets and why the hell does CodeMonkeyUnity of all youtubers make a sponsored segment about it, without doing 30 seconds of google research looking into who this company is?

Of course I will work on small details, but I'm happy that after 1+ months my map/world is alive. Once I finish the skill tree/upgrade system I can finally work on world events, extraction points, boss fights etc. :)

Help me learn to learn
I think i am at a stage where i can make simple smaller projects and i felt ready for a bigger game that would take me around 5 6 months. Currently i am working on a minigame and i got stuck pretty badly. I cannot figure out what to search i know that i should be searching broader an simpler things than my actual problem but even then i cannot find anything that is usefull to me. I think that this happens because i dont know the language enough so i dont know that a function like that exist.
TLDR how do you guys search when you are stuck and how did you get out of that "i know many thing but i know nothing" phase.

The Unity Engine roadmap
Hello, Devs! Your friendly neighborhood community manager Trey here.
Just dropped the full Unity Engine Roadmap session from Unite 2025. This one builds on the GDC keynote and gives a proper look at what’s ahead for Unity 6 and beyond. It covers editor upgrades, performance improvements, expanded platform support, and some pretty slick tooling coming down the line.
If you're curious about where things are heading or just want to catch up on what the team has been working on, the full session’s up now:
