Unity

Do you have an idea? Do you recognize a good idea when you see one? We want to hear from you!

Unity needs:

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

    1. Platforms: Linux Player / Web player Support

      Create Official Linux Support. So the ability to make games for linux that run naturally on linux. Standalones and Webplayers. This would push Unity Waaay over all those other engines (make it for indie linux). And ability to run unity3d on linux.

        • Terrain: Voxel-based terrains

          Voxel-based terrains would allow designers to create tunnels, caves, and overhangs without using tricks like portals. CryEngine 2 uses voxel terrains. Unity should too.

          • Platforms: 64-bit Unity Editor

            Unity needs a 64-bit Editor version.
            64 bit standalone players are possible since Unity 3.4, and unofficial 64 bit Windows Web Player is there: http://blogs.unity3d.com/2011/07/28/unity-3-4-web-player-for-64-bit-windows/

                • Editor/Graphics: Fully-featured 2D system

                  There are many games using Unity that are 2D. However, there is no real built-in support for 2D games so people tend to 'roll-their-own' systems. A fully featured 2D system for efficient layered sprite rendering, parallax backgrounds, 2D component-characters driven by fbx animation etc.

                  • Editor: Nested Prefabs

                    When nesting prefabs inside prefabs, connections to the nested prefabs are lost, and new unique prefabs are created. As a result, you can't change the old prefabs and make the changes carry over to the nested prefabs. This is a pain in the butt, and seems counterintuitive -- nesting prefabs inside prefabs is logical and intuitive but does not work. Help implement this feature! Thanks!

                        • Graphics: built-in Morph Target support

                          There's no built-in support for Morph Targets (a.k.a. Blend Shapes or Vertex Level Animation).

                          Of course it's possible to do some of that manually (e.g. MeshMorpher script), but having native support for both importing and runtime functionality would be great.

                              I am not a professional Game Developer, so I can't spend 1000$ on a tool like Unity Pro, but I am a professional Programmer, not being able to do version control on my projects or even work on one project with a friend makes Unity very inconvenient to use.

                                • Terrain: Road/River splines

                                  We need road and river splines, like in CryEngine and Torque.

                                  That would allow us to modify a simple spline, which would modify the terrain to form around the road.

                                  Or for water, we need to be able to have water physics, and flow, like in Torque. That would be really good for making more realistic terrains.

                                  • Platforms/Networking: Headless Server on Linux

                                    Unity needs a Linux headless server build to open very wide possibilities for the indie multiplayer games.
                                    The task seem to be not complex at the first glance (I'm a developer myself):
                                    1) Introduce a NULL rendering device (in other words, Unity3D will not render anything, this could be a trivial task, but depends on how tight OpenGL is integrated into Unity code, first version may use a dummy OpenGL driver to ignore the OpenGL commands, the more robust approach will be to not calling render scene methods, just update the world/physics, no sound driver either)
                                    2) Compile code on… more

                                    • FBXImporter: Correct orientation, and without GameObject hacks.

                                      FBX imported meshes are rotated 270 on X, yet are still incorrect. We need FBX imported mesh to be correctly oriented, and without requiring hacks like GameObject rotation. Many formats actually use an FBX conversion during the import process (max, blend).
                                      An alternate solution would be to allow us to configure the defaults for this aspect of the importer however we want, for scale and orientation. I realize we can change these values per-object, but what we really need is the ability to change the default values so that we don't have to manually modify the import setings for each… more

                                        • Editor: Visual Logic Editor

                                          I saw a post about visual GUI editor and shader editor. They are all nice but missing one important visual editor, it's visual logic editor.
                                          Right now there is no easy way to create cut-scenes without scripting, moreover, easy way to visualize what's going on in the scene setup. Scripts are all hidden from the scene and it's hard to navigate through the scripts to find connections between it.

                                          Comparatively speaking, I think shaders are better designed by programmer but creating simple game logics or cut-scenes are better desigend by artists. But once we have game logic editor, similar interface… more

                                          • Scripting: Expose Input Manager settings

                                            This has many benefits: for one, if you could read the input settings, in-game tutorials would be far better. Right now you have to use awkwardness like "press whatever key you have set to the fire button", or else go through the pain of making your own input manager just for this purpose.

                                            Or in those cases where you don't have the built-in input manager and have to write your own anyway (web players, widgets), having access to input settings would allow the continued use of GetAxis and GetButton while being able to allow players to set keys, instead of… more
