Bindables | Utilities Tools | Unity Asset Store Use the Bindables from Virtual Maker on your next project. Find this utility tool & more on the Unity Asset Store.

My reactive framework for Unity Bindables is on sale this week. I just pushed update 1.0.5, improving code generation times, adding bindings for InputActionReference, and a new method for binding the play/pause state of animations.

DALL-E generates an image that includes kermit the frog in the background. I ask it to remove kermit the frog. I says it cannot because it violates the content policy 😦

It works on my machine!
It works on my machine! YouTube video by Jason Weimann (GameDev)

Jason Weimann asked to interview me about Proxima Inspector, the debugging tool I created for Unity developers! I'm so happy our tools are helping real game developers build and debug their games!

#GDC2025 takeway: AI has penetrated game production pipelines.

Studios that integrate AI carefully with domain experts will make new games that were impossible before. Not just more content, but more personalized content with better representation and customized to meet player needs.

Proxima Remote Access makes your Unity app available to debug over the internet. This is perfect for QA scenarios -- anyone on the team hitting an issue can quickly ask a developer to log in and start debugging, or even log in themselves to download player logs and send them to the development team.

Proxima lets Unity developers connect to an app from a web browser to view gameObjects and logs, and to issue console commands. But up until now, you had to be on the same local network and find the game's IP address.

Virtual Maker Year In Review Happy New Year! As we look forward to another year of making, let's take a minute to reflect.

Last January, Virtual Maker hired its first two developers and we helped 6 clients develop and ship amazing new products. I wrote a bit about them:
www.virtualmaker.dev/blog/news-20...

In 2025, let's help more innovative Unity games, apps, and tools get to market.

I decided my grid layout Unity should be a free package because it's useful enough by itself for many scenarios from a main menu, to a chessboard, to a grid based tactics game.

Add a debug log, make a build, add another log, make another build... better idea: Unity inspector, connected to a live game, in a web browser. Now we can properly debug mobile, VR, and WebGL builds.

We're using Proxima Inspector for Unity to debug our VR app. It lets us get logs from players who hit issues and debug gameObjects live in the headset. Some problems only appear show up when running on device.

(This video isn't the app -- it's still under wraps)
