Build your Unity game to a real phone, play one scene with your eyes and hands, and write down what you notice before you open a single quality setting. This is a different slice from our earlier Unity mobile optimization post: that one walks through measuring with the Profiler and then fixing rendering, CPU, and…
Use a phone or any recorder you already own to capture one musical idea of a few bars, find its loop point by ear, and drop it into your game as placeholder music. This is a different slice from our earlier game audio posts: those cover generating sound with AI tools and building adaptive music…
Draft a single conversation by hand with three player replies, two that rejoin, one flag, and a read-aloud test, before any of it goes near your engine. This is a different slice from our earlier narrative design post: that one is an overview of five techniques, from a story spine to scoped branching, while this…
Your guard walks its route perfectly and ignores you even when you stand right in front of it, so here is how to find out which check is failing. This is a debugging-only follow-up to post 179, which builds the patrol, notice, chase, and give-up guard in Unity and Godot; here you leave that machine…
Your sculpt is done and already has a game mesh, so now you build a plain collision shape for it and get Unreal to treat that shape as collision instead of something players can see. This is a collision-only follow-up to the ZBrush sculpting posts 132 and 160: you will not sculpt, retopologize, bake, or…
You already have a built FMOD event in a bank, so now you get FMOD for Unity reading that bank and make one event play when something happens in your game. This is the Unity-only, one-event version of the FMOD handoff, not the Godot plugin walkthrough in post 173 and not the FMOD Studio design…
A blank form you print before a session and fill in with a pen while someone plays your game, so you leave with notes you can act on tonight. This article is the sheet itself, a different slice from post 187, which covers how to run a playtest; here you get only the blank one-page…
Pick one server script in a place that already runs, find the work it does every frame, and move that work to a slower cadence or to an event. This is a different slice from our earlier Roblox scripting posts: those set up script structure, ModuleScripts, and validated RemoteEvents, while this one assumes your place…
Take a Niagara burst that already sits in your level, expose its particle size as a single user parameter, and change it from the details panel and from Blueprint. This is a different slice from our earlier Niagara post: that one built a spark burst from an empty system and exposed its burst count, while…
Plan, shoot, and check every image on your Steam store page so each one shows your game clearly and follows Valve’s rules. This is a different slice from our earlier Steam publishing post: that one walked through store review, depots, and builds, while this one covers only the store-page art, meaning what each image has…
