Has anyone hidden the discord notification sound into their game somewhere just to mess with people?
Or the usb inserted sound?

Just learned that unity cloud build changed their pricing from unlimited-with-teams-subscription to over $1 per build an of an empty project.

Way to kill a feature everyone actually liked.

I now realise theres a few bugs I need to fix in this version :/

Ay.
So I've been working on this prototype in my spare time.

It's pretty jank still but I'd love feedback, especially if folks could record video of their playthrough.

Going to keep on and refine it into a nice but still very small game

go fast, steal stuff, don't get seen

10 years ago that would have been a ridiculous thing to say. But here we are.

The engine is getting worse, not better. Alternative engines on the other hand are making great strides.

This is the zeitgeist. Do I risk using unity for my next game? Will it be viable by release?

In less technical terms:
Hi, I'm a veteran developer who's been using unity for most of her career.

I don't recommend it at all anymore. If you're starting out, my advice is to go learn godot and unreal (or any other of your choice).

I've reached the point where, my personal (but professional) opinion

New unity written code is a difficult to solve tech debt liability.

And because they aren't making games with their own tech it's been getting worse at an accelerating pace for some time now.

I can't fathom the logic with making all this stuff sealed/internal.

It's fine for abstracting this stuff to be 'unsupported'/'do at your own risk'.

If you're trying to make an actual game rather than than just internal tech demos, you -have- to be able to change stuff.

Rant 🧵

Me: I just gotta make a overridden timeline clip so I can reference our runtime cameras

Unity:

Righto #gcap23 talk submission is in.
Here's hoping they let me rant on stage again after apparently melting everyone's brains last year.
