PROFILE
Håkan Sidenvall
Hakan Sidenvall contributed to the Unity-Technologies/InputSystem repository by building and refining core input features, editor tooling, and cross-platform compatibility for Unity projects. He delivered platform-aware input polling, enhanced rebinding UI samples, and introduced real-time synchronization between editor components and runtime settings. Using C#, Unity Editor scripting, and conditional compilation, Hakan addressed complex integration issues, stabilized CI pipelines, and improved test coverage. His work included targeted bug fixes for XR input, keyboard handling, and Addressables compatibility, as well as internal refactoring to centralize runtime state checks. These efforts resulted in more reliable input workflows and maintainable code across Unity versions.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for Unity-Technologies/InputSystem. Focused on reliability and discoverability of action names in the Input System. Delivered a targeted bug fix to FindAction to support actions whose names contain slashes, addressing developer and user reports and preventing hidden breakages in action lookup. Added comprehensive tests to validate slash-containing action names and guard against regressions. Resulted in a more robust InputActionAsset and improved developer confidence for action-based workflows.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Key reliability improvement in Unity Input System. Implemented real-time synchronization between the Parameter Editor and Input Settings, ensuring the editor reflects changes to Input Settings automatically and refreshes values via new callbacks. This reduces manual refresh needs and prevents misalignment between editor state and runtime configuration.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 — Unity-Technologies/InputSystem: Delivered a critical compatibility patch to ensure Input System works smoothly with Addressables across Unity editor versions and platforms. The fix resolves a compilation error caused by an undefined IInputAnalytic.TryGatherData when Addressables and Input System are used together by gating the code with conditional compilation. This change prevents build failures, stabilizes cross-package integration, and reduces downstream troubleshooting for developers.
