Currently remaking Tails, a VR Snake-like I made with a friend in 2016. Nobody asked for a remake, but we're doing it anyway and it'll be much better this time 🤷🏻♂️

Final feature before Saneject 1.0.0: a project wide batch injection window that injects all or selected scenes/prefabs in one click with full summary. Easily one of the most useful additions and a huge time saver once projects grow #Saneject #Unity3D #DependencyInjection

Haven't posted about Saneject in a while, but I've been busy improving APIs, UX, inspectors, workflows, and binding tools + testing it in Tails. It’s come a long way!
New v0.17.0 adds method injection ([Inject] on methods) and more.

Spent all day patching the recent Unity security vulnerability in Saneject, WordBaby, and a bunch of old itch.io games that no one plays. Thanks for the productive day, Unity!

🐉 Tails (VR Snake) Dev Log #5. Back with a big under-the-hood change: now powered by Saneject, my editor-time DI framework for Unity. No more GetComponent chaos or fragile drag and drop. Clean DI structure with inspector visibility.

🎨🧊 Smashy Cubes. Made a silly Unity prototype for a job test that didn’t work out. Fling cubes, watch them shatter into hundreds of fragments, then get guilt-tripped by a robot vacuum into cleaning. Play here 👉 alexanderlarsen.itch.io/smashy-cubes

Had enough of Unity’s half-serialized, half-GetComponent dependency spaghetti creeping into every class? 🍝🙅🏻♂️
Saneject injects dependencies at editor-time: clean API, declarative rules, full Inspector visibility. No runtime container, no second lifecycle.

Planning to get back to work on Tails soon 🐉
Got a bit sidetracked improving the architecture… and accidentally built a full open source DI system instead. Saneject actually started as a small thing for Tails, so now I get to really battletest it.
