Classy Moment of Unity

Spent the last hour wondering why my enemy AI wouldn’t move—turns out I had the NavMeshAgent on a completely different GameObject. Classic Unity moment.

No matter how long you’ve been doing this, it’s the small oversights that keep you humble. But hey, once it works… chef’s kiss.

First Pixel Art Of A Monster On Asperite! Any thoughts?!

Ey Guys! This is my first pixel art I’m posting out here from Asperite I’ve done. Got the preview mode on the bottom right.

What do you think of this monster?

Been developing a 2D top-down game in Unity 2022.3. After migrating to Unity 6, I can't get rid of this weird sprite sorting.

Been working on custom UI and HUDs for Unity/2D games lately

Health Bars, XP Bars, HUD, Pause and Settings menu. Its been really fun focusing on these subjects of game design. Here’s a mockup I did. Happy to help others—also offering $5 starter HUD designs on Fiverr if anyone’s working on a project.

Sharpening up a bit but having lots of fun with this! the blur background is a really nice touch

I need a free pixel art bird

So I have a class project using unity and it's basically a 2D platformer with a bird that chases you throughout the game. However after checking the unity asset store I can't seem to find a simple pixel bird that flaps it's wings. Is anyone able to help me out here? it would be really appreciated!

TIL. In Unity, if you use the default path `Application.persistentDataPath` or PlayerPrefs and then upload to itch, then whatever you save will remain present only till you upload the new build. Afterwards that all is gone because the persistent data path changes with each build upload.

To fix that you have got to create your own, truly persistent path. A very nice post on the topic: [https://ddmeow.net/en/game-dev/save-persistent-itch-io/](https://ddmeow.net/en/game-dev/save-persistent-itch-io/) . Long story short, you have to make your own path to save the file in indexed database

public static class PersistanceStorage {
private static string mPersistentDataPath;
static PersistanceStorage()
{
#if UNITY_WEBGL
mPersistentDataPath = "idbfs/Mathemando-Little-Cool-Puzzle-randomhash-423";
Debug.Log($"[PrefsStorage] Using WebGL persistent path: {mPersistentDataPath}");
#else
mPersistentDataPath = Application.persistentDataPath;
#endif
if (!Directory.Exists(mPersistentDataPath))
{
Debug.Log($"[PrefsStorage] Directory does not exist. Creating directory: {mPersistentDataPath}");
Directory.CreateDirectory(mPersistentDataPath);
}
else
{
Debug.Log($"[PrefsStorage] Directory already exists: {mPersistentDataPath}");
}
}
// ... your persistence logic

As using PlayerPrefs had the same issue, I stopped using them completely. It's a shame because that is really convenient.

And that's not it yet. I also noticed that storing data did not happen immediately. Sometimes my data got updated and sometimes even after some minutes of play it got reset to the previous state upon browser reload. So I have to save the changes to the file system after modifying the files. Got the answer how to properly do it here [https://discussions.unity.com/t/system-io-file-doesnt-work-properly-on-webgl-platform/905164/3](https://discussions.unity.com/t/system-io-file-doesnt-work-properly-on-webgl-platform/905164/3)

#if UNITY_WEBGL
Application.ExternalEval("_JS_FileSystem_Sync();");
#endif

And finally it works. At least on my machine :D

A learning from that: if you have persistence, have a second "shadow" project and test your releases there first before touching the main release. Because if you have a lot of players they will have.. a lot of disappointment! Not my case though :D at least, I hope I did not discourage those couple of people who visit my game by that. And I decided to share it here as I'd be glad to read about it before my first release lol


Perhaps, I have just missed some point though. I know that it's often the user who's guilty of the bug :D
