Introducing Unity’s newest game sample, Gigaya
summary
A high‑production sample game called Gigiya demonstrates a physical character controller, four blended animation cycles, a custom water shader with Gerstner waves and buoyant rigidbodies, vegetation driven by Shader Graph, VFX Graph particles, LookDev previews, and AI Navigation/NavMesh per‑object baking so flying enemies move with cranes. The team grows from ~8 to ~16–17 people, targets Unity 2021 LTS and URP, mixes C# with Visual Scripting, and plans a free Steam release summer 2022 to let devs open the project and inspect the systems.
