I’ve used #Unity3D for years but never fully understood what diffuse and specular meant, or what settings I should use to represent different physical materials. Well I dove down the rabbit hole and put together an infographic that hopefully helps some of you #GameDev folk out

I have this “blank slate” problem where I find it difficult to figure out how to start on a task, but once I’m rolling I can get shit done. ChatGPT might be a great productivity boon for me, because it can often give me a rickety skeleton for a task that I can build on. 🤔

Taito Corp. released Space Invaders: World Defense. Its a 2023 adaption of the old arcade classic: Space Invaders - but this time for AR.

This is a nice example for Google’s Geospatial platform. It can be used to turn the real world into a digital playground.

Today we check out Atlas Terrain for the #Unity3d game engine.

It's currently part of the 30 for $30 Mega Bundle (which ends very soon). It gives you the ability to treat height maps like prefabs to rapidly create terrain.

Five months ago, at work, I brought up an issue that would be a decent optimization and would take less than half a day to implement. Just got a notification today that someone commented on the issue trying to pass it to someone else to fix. #CorporateMolasses
