Is the "Stop to Shoot" mechanic too stressful or just right?

The bad news: I lost the main character.
The good news: The zombies can't see him either.
Should I keep "The Invisible Man" as an unlockable skin?

One step forward, two slides back.
Highs and lows of the week: The explosions look great, but my character has apparently forgotten how spines work.
Wait for the end to see the physics give up.

I thought a x5 multiplier would be a fun challenge. I was wrongโฆ

Another massive day at Pocket Gamer Connects.
So many great conversations and inspiring talks today. My feet are tired, but my motivation is at an all-time high.
Here is a quick montage of Day 2!

Lighting completely changes the mood of a game. Iโm experimenting with a few different art styles for the open world.
Which one would you want to play in?
#unity3d #gamedev #indiegame #environmentart #visualstyle #gaming #spotlight
Using a tool called Prefab Painter, I can just brush details like cracks and debris directly onto the road mesh. It saves me hours of work and makes the streets look naturally chaotic.
What is one Unity tool you couldn't live without?

Project Miami: The progress so far
Itโs been a wild ride developing this solo, and we are just getting started.
Thank you to everyone who has been following the development. Stick around, 2026 is going to be huge!

Time to wrap up the year.
Iโm taking a short break from the studio to recharge my batteries. Thank you to everyone who has been following the development journey so far.
Enjoy the holidays!

sting the gameplay flow of running from the streets straight into a shop. No loading screens, just instant entry so you can loot and get out fast.
Does the transition into the building feel snappy enough to you?

Taking a run through the new South Beach zone.
Iโm still fleshing out the details, but Iโve got the essentials down.
I'm trying to nail that specific "Golden Hour" sunset vibe. How does the lighting feel to you?

No more manual UV unwrapping for every wall. I implemented a new planar shader that keeps textures world-aligned.
Itโs a huge time saver for iterating on interiors. Honestly though, should I keep the "Floor is Lava" mode as a secret setting?

I am working on a system that allows you to walk straight from the street into buildings with zero loading screens. It is still a work in progress, but I want the exploration to feel completely seamless.

Early look at night gameplay from the streets of Miami.
I wanted to share the direction I am heading. It still needs a lot of work, but I'm happy with how the atmosphere is coming together. How does the mood feel to you so far?

Dev Log Update: Just built the Flamingo Island Hoemebase!
It needs work... a lot of work!
What's the one thing you're building FIRST when you arrive on the island?

Did you know we have zombie randomization in the game?
They look a lot more menacing in action, I swear. ๐

Neon lights, Miami nights.
Just testing the mood, would you explore this at night?

A quiet morning on South Beachโฆ
but the city behind it is anything but peaceful.
Still shaping the world, how does it feel so far?

Testing a camera fly-through for my Miami zombie game.
Which vibe hits harder, the sunny calm or the purple haze chaos?
I kinda love the switchโฆ

Unity Black Friday sale has started, I found this coupon for additional extra 10%, I used it multiple times: YW86GYBU8S
Hope it helps!
Messing around with some lighting settings, still not fully satisfied. What do you think, feedback is welcome!

Working on the Miami city atmosphere for my zombie survival game.
The vibe feels rightโฆ the zombie at the end feels wrong. ๐
