Unity Events: Why Most Devs Still Get Them Wrong

Most Unity devs get C# events wrong in the same handful of ways: they reach for UnityEvent when Action is cleaner, forget the event keyword, wipe out subscribers with = instead of +=, and skip u...

MonoBehaviour vs C# Class vs Struct: Memory and Performance

I measured the memory cost of a MonoBehaviour, a plain C# class, and a struct using the same Actor data. A single MonoBehaviour eats more RAM than a Nintendo NES once Unity attaches its engine baggage...

Unity Code Architecture and Dependency Injection

I use dependency injection in Unity when tracing who calls what starts hurting, not by default. In Floorcraft Blasters, RootInstaller binds interfaces to services, constructors ask for dependencies, a...

What is Unity DOTS in 2026? Do You Actually Need It?

Unity DOTS is a framework built on three pillars, ECS, the C# Job System, and the Burst Compiler, that shifts your game from object-oriented code to data-oriented design. In 2026 it is production-read...
