Effective debugging saves hours of development time. Use Debug.Log strategically with meaningful messages and consider using Debug.LogWarning and Debug.LogError for different severity levels. Learn to use Unity’s Console filters and implement custom debug visualizations using Gizmos. The Unity Profiler is…
Mobile optimization requires special attention to performance and battery usage. Reduce texture sizes and use texture atlasing to minimize draw calls. Implement level-of-detail (LOD) systems for 3D models and use Unity’s built-in occlusion culling. Consider the wide variety of mobile…
Audio can make or break your game’s immersion. Use Unity’s Audio Mixer for dynamic audio control and implement audio zones for seamless transitions. Always compress your audio files appropriately – use OGG Vorbis for most sounds and WAV only when…
A good save system is essential for player retention. Use JSON for complex data structures and PlayerPrefs for simple settings. Always encrypt sensitive save data and implement versioning for your save files to handle game updates gracefully. Consider using ScriptableObjects…
Unity’s animation system is powerful when used correctly. Use the Animator Controller to manage state transitions smoothly. Always use root motion for character movement when possible, and blend animations using blend trees for natural-looking transitions. Remember to set up proper…
Performance optimization is crucial for creating smooth gaming experiences. Start by profiling your game using Unity’s built-in profiler to identify bottlenecks. Common issues include excessive draw calls, large texture sizes, and inefficient scripts running in Update(). Use object pooling for…
