Graphics and rendering tips from Survival Kids - This summer, Unity released the first game developed end-to-end in-house, an update on the co-op family game Survival Kids, in partnership with KONAMI. The game was built by a small internal team of about 20 people at its max, so the team had to find innovative ways to stay within the scope of the project and release timeline with limited resources, just like any indie studio. In this post, we dig into how we created the game’s visual frame and rendering.

Elevate Your Game with World Space UI in Unity - World-Space UI: wire a world-space Canvas, hook up a dropdown (then populate it at runtime), and add smart facing modes—Player, Camera, and a Hybrid that locks pitch while keeping yaw responsive. We’ll integrate Cinemachine Target Groups with smooth weight easing so the camera frames your UI naturally, then layer in a CanvasGroup fade for a polished appear/disappear. Along the way you’ll see clean, symmetric lifecycle code, input lock on the FreeLook, and tips for trigger-based proximity—everything you need to elevate your game’s diegetic UI from basic to satisfying and professional.
