A screenshot of CIPHER ZERO's opening area, Lake, done in a minimalist design and colors. A grey and lonely lake, vague shapes of mountains in the distance, multiple phases of the moon is seen in the grey sky.. Rocks of hard edges jut out of the water's surface, as sunbeams cast themselves over one of the rocks. A green train races across the surface and continues on off screen. A telescope sits in the foreground, aimed out towards the open lake.
Come join our artist Annie and senior engineer Ian on how animations and the details of each of them brought the unique worlds of CIPHER ZERO to life!

A screenshot from CIPHER ZERO of the Road section, done in minimalist colors and designs. A road crosses the screen from left to right, open dumpsters in the foreground along a chain link fence. An elevated train platform can be seen behind the road, as well as an elevated highway, lined with street lights.

A screenshot from CIPHER ZERO, done in black and white with shades of grey. A 2x3 square grid puzzle is shown, a filled in diamond in the upper left square, while an empty diamond is in the lower right. A single mark sits above the upper right square. In the background, the upside image of a lake is shown, squared off rocks jutting out of the water.
We're going to be sharing stories and techniques over the next coming weeks to give you a peek into the development of CIPHER ZERO!
First up: an interview with our designers! How DO you design over 300+ puzzles?

After spending a bunch of time testing on device, upgrading to Unity 6, 6.1 and back to 2022.3…. I figured out the issue! Total Time (VFX) nodes feeding into a Turbulence node breaks in iOS builds. I'll submit a bug report with sample project. #unity3d #vfx
One would assume so.
Does anyone know if the #unity VFX Graph renders fewer particles on iOS? I’m not sure what’s happening, perhaps it’s a settings issue or some kind of limitation, but when building to an M4 iPad Pro, most of the particles in a complex system don’t seem to render.
