Have you ever spent way too much time on a little thing for your game only to then scrap it and forget about it? Just found and finished this chemical flask shader for our escape room game. Last time I worked on it was probably a year ago...

I needed to add splitters and mergers to my farm product automation game. And I thought, why just 3 in and out?! What do you guys think? I hope it will work well logistically (needs some tests)

Story looping back issue with Ink

Hi, I'm running into a bug when using Ink in my project, where at the first chance the player can select from choices, the dialogue panel closes. The console is printing Debug messages I wrote showing that for some reason, after the player makes their choice, the story is looping back to the main knot rather than proceeding.

I don't think it's an issue with my Ink noscript because it runs fine in Inky.

I think it's something in my dialogue manager? I built it from a tutorial and I've done my best to understand it, but since I'm a beginner it's definitely a challenge. Thank you for any help anyone can provide. I'll attach my DialogueManager noscript as well as my Ink noscript.

[Here is the console log.](https://imgur.com/a/0B5P0vU)

FYI: In this dialogue manager noscript I removed any mentions of the tags, just to try to debug. So this noscript isn't doing anything with the choices at this point. I'm just trying to proceed through the whole Ink story.

-> main

=== main ===
Welcome to the platform.
Now that you're here, would you like an extra ability?
* [Yes]
Excellent, what ability would you like?
* * [An extra-high jump!] -> high_jump

* * [More speed] -> speed_boost

* * [Make me bigger] -> make_bigger

* [No]
Come on, choose an ability -> main


=== high_jump ===
#ability: high_jump
You chose high jump
-> END

=== speed_boost ===
#ability: speed_boost
You chose speed_boost
-> END

=== make_bigger ===
#ability: make_bigger
-> END

Why is this happening? I splice my player and it makes it HUGE?

So to get the pivot point at the bottom of the feet I always do this. Change to multiple then auto splice at bottom.

It has always worked until now. The player has a 5 PNG attack. Well PNG's 1-3 work fine.

But the last 2 are doing this: https://imgur.com/a/xDCYEX8

I have never seen this before and don't know how to fix or make it go away. Basically the red part I marked out is the actual PNG. But it seems to have made invisible spaces before and after.

So when the animation plays there are frames where you can't see anything. Very odd.

Anyone have any ideas?
The only workaround I could do is to not splice this attack and have all the pivot points be in the default center.
I could do this but IDK if it will cause problems in the future or not.

Why do my pixels render like this? (Using Cinemachine)

https://youtu.be/5811VzGaY_o

Why does my pixel art randomly stretch the pixels in animations? When viewing the sprites individually on the same character, the pixels are not stretched. The only thing the animations do is change the sprite, it doesn't change the scale or anything. Why is this happening?

My cameras are pixel perfect as well

When I splice my PNG it turns into an animation?? wtf?

Hey, so I my spicing on 1 single PNG is messing up. Its the same size and the 5th png in a sprite sheet. Well they are all separate PNGs that I combine to make animations.

Anyway, for some reason it keeps making this 5th PNG a freaking animation when I try to drag it into the scene.

I have no idea why. Its the same size resoultion/etc as all the other PNGS. Something is going wrong when I splice it.

Any ideas?

It jumps very fast

I have a character that I’m making jump, but the jump happens way too fast and doesn’t look natural at all. How can I make the jump feel smoother and more realistic? (I have a video, but I couldn’t figure out how to upload it to Reddit yet! :)) Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Scene transition not working properly

I made a scene transition using this video. The starting transition works, when i run it, it fades from a black screen but when i interact with a door that executes the transition and scene change, scene changes but it only fades into black. Shouldnt the animator start from "Entry" once it is a new scene?

My transition code is the same except i added code to check if its fully loaded and i made my scene loader dontdestroyonload
