Unity UI tip: with a 768x1024 reference and Match 0.5, your real width is only 768 on 4:3 screens.

On a 20:9 phone it's 595. Design fixed panels for 595 minus margins, or stretch them.

Learned that when a whole panel got clipped on real phones.

Dev note, a save-wipe bug that came back twice:

A cloud save manager (exec order -32000) loaded saves before the game database (-20000) woke up. Count = 0, arrays resized to 0, next autosave wiped everything.

Rule now: persisted arrays only ever grow.

Dev note: 15 languages x 9 store images = 135 files, so I scripted it.

One TSV holds every caption. Pillow broke Hindi and Thai without libraqm, so a tiny Swift tool renders text with CoreText. CJK line breaks were fixed by putting U+2060 word joiners inside words.

Dev note: TextMeshPro can't shape Hindi. Matras don't reorder, conjuncts never form, and mark positioning is skipped.

My fix without touching the package: shape offline with CoreText, bake each glyph variant into a Private Use Area font. ~520 variants, zero drift.

Hi Bluesky! I'm a dentist who codes and a solo game dev, building a dark fantasy ARPG in Unity where you command an undead legion, die and reincarnate.

I'll post dev notes here: shipping in 15 languages, keeping low-end Android smooth, and the mistakes along the way.
