I make games. Code lead on Crackdown, Crackdown 2. Made Ghost Dentist VR on Train Jam with friends. He/Him. @mikeenoch in the other place, it was taken here!
If you have a “between levels” or similar point where they should all be freed that’s a good place to dump the data. Initially to figure out these were the source of the leak I did just compare profiler snapshots - so it’s not exactly high tech!

In my projects it’s textures, materials, meshes, and render textures that I need to keep track of - but there may be other types I don’t use. My helper class keeps a list of each and I can tell it to dump a list of which are still in use

You can use the profiler to tell you in raw numbers if you are leaking meshes, materials, etc by comparing snapshots - but I don’t think you can drill down to find out which ones, thus my own class to track runtime assets. This is from years back though, it might have improved

That deals with materials, textures, meshes, etc. I suppose you could be “leaking” objects in C# if you have a life cycle problem (creating into a pool but not releasing for example) but that would be quite specific to your project

Actual leaks or just garbage collection? There’s a limited set of things that can leak (assets mostly), so I found that tracking runtime allocated objects was fairly straightforward, I just add them to a list on creation and based on what was leaking figured it out relatively quickly

Happy to give it a go

Time to start talking about my game!
Fight off an alien invasion, turn based strategy, rogue-lite. Similar to XCOM and Into The Breach.
Follow or ask for more details.

I should probably dig out some more details about it and repost them now we’re all off Twitter - thanks again for the prompt!

The fur shader worked particularly well in VR. I did a version that supports the Valve Index too, but I think if I went back to it now I’d probably need to overhaul quite a bit to get it working on a current version of Unity (or some other engine)

Aw, thanks for saying so Damian! I’d still like to make a version we could release at some point - we did some updates for A MAZE and Fantastic Arcade after the version you saw, there’s a video here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=oBBA...
