⚙️ Game Dev Hack: Fake high-res sprites by importing at 2–4× size, then lowering “Max Size” + enabling “Generate Mip Maps”. Lets Unity downscale cleanly, reduces aliasing, and keeps memory in check on mobile 📱 #gamedev #unitytips #indiedev #pixelart

💡 Tip of the Day: Fake contact shadows cheap in Unity URP by adding a simple blob decal under characters (projected quad with soft circular texture, Multiply blend). No extra lights, no shadow maps, looks grounded. Perfect for mobile. #gamedev #unitytips #indiedev

💡 Tip of the Day: Use a simple gradient texture to fake fog instead of full-screen fog in Unity. Sample it in a shader using world Y or depth, and you get stylized “atmosphere” for almost free on mobile. 🌫️🎮 #gamedev #unity3d #indiedev #techart
