Updated 2022 LTS Best Practice Guides for optimizing games | Unity Blog

Two new books featuring optimization tips and tricks for mobile, consoles, and PC have been released. I've skimmed through both materials; all the tips have already been published in various resources. However, it's great to have them compiled in one place with navigation via the contents page. I highly recommend bookmarking these books.

ParrelSync is a Unity editor extension that allows users to test multiplayer gameplay without building the project by opening another Unity editor window and mirroring changes from the original project.

Gonna come in handy especially given the new template release: small scale competitive multiplayer.

Soft Mask: a plugin that brings alpha-friendly masking to UI

It works almost like the standard Unity's mask, but supports alpha, which enables gradual and semi-transparent masks.

Everyday Unity Magic Tween Extremely fast tween library implemented in Unity ECS https://github.com/AnnulusGames/MagicTween #tween #ecs
PrimeTween

High-performance, allocation-free tween library for Unity. Create animations, delays, and sequences in one line of code. A lot faster than other tween libs according to author's benchmarks. It would be interesting to see comparison to Magic Tween too in the same benchmarks, because Magic Tween is claimed to be even faster than PrimeTween

UI Toolkit: New and updated demos for programmers and artists

I’ve seen some Entities samples by Unity Technologies that use UI toolkit for in-game UI and not just for editor tools. It was interesting to play around a bit, but I have no real experience working with it in production yet. If anyone has used UI toolkit for in-game UI in production, I would be happy to hear about your feedback in the comments.

Unity ECS Performance Testing

The second post in my series on automated testing with Unity.Entities, where I shared why I believe performance testing is valuable and worth adopting. I also provided examples in the post, along with a sample repo that you can use to skip setting it up yourself in your project.

A Primer on Unity Addressables and UGS Cloud Content Delivery

A very basic, step-by-step guide on how to set up Addressables and UGS for content delivery. Worth adding to bookmarks for when you would need to set up this pipeline, for example, for a prototype, since this setup will be free with the current pricing plans for small scale tests and prototypes.

New Shader Graph Node Reference Samples

An invaluable resource, especially for those diving into shader intricacies. It's fascinating how seasoned shader experts dissect complex visual effects into a sequence of small and simple steps. This library of samples acts as a comprehensive guide, providing insights into the inner workings of these individual steps and unveiling the diverse possibilities available from the outset.

How to template your Unity project

This article describes two ways to create a template via GitHub and Unity Hub. It sounds super convenient, especially if you create new projects often or have core tools and logic that you integrate into each of your projects.

Classes vs. Structs. How not to teach about performance!

I always love reading posts by Sergey Teplyakov. Even though they are sometimes overly technical and tough to go through (not a bad thing at all). This one is a great example of why you should always profile your code, especially critical parts on the hot path, and not believe tests on the web, as some authors try to mislead you for their reasons or just out of pure negligence or ignorance.

Why Cities: Skylines 2 performs poorly

An insightful article about performance issues in Cities: Skylines 2. It's mind-blowing that they created a game of this scale using DOTS, which was released relatively recently and is by no means production-ready even now. The author speculates on how DOTS has affected the game's performance, given the extensive rendering tasks the developers had to implement themselves, which may not perform optimally. However, I am more than amazed by developers, it's monumental work that only top-notch engineers can accomplish in such a short time

How can I modify built-in packages?

I have recently faced a bug in a Unity package, so this was the fastest way to fix it and continue the work. Yeah obviously you lose new updates but there is a way to create some sort of a patch tool, that would update the local package and apply your changes. Of course, this is unnecessary if the issue is fixed in an update. If you already know a tool that does it, would be great if you shared it in the comments.
