@jeffdo @80Level There is an assumption trashing things and starting again is trivial to replicate and improve. That is not my perspective of the work completed. You'd be waiting another 10 years on top of your 10 years to really match anything like unity. There are dozens claiming it already.

That might not be an option. If Unity gets bought by Apple, it'll get fucked up. A new engine can literally just replicate the useful parts, and then advance it. Just like what Unity did to Unreal Engine. Unity isn't exactly end game tech, the same way Unreal Engine isn't end game tech. Unreal Engine is significantly better in MANY ways, and have done it for longer, than Unity, but somehow Unity is able to gain a ton of market share. Wait 10 years, there will be another player. Some proof is that godot is gaining popularity.

Apple might be considering buying Unity after its courtroom defeat to Epic Games, industry analyst Joost van Dreunen suggests. "Unity is currently relatively cheap": 80.lv/articles/analy…

@jeffdo @80Level Many big Apple fans will also argue it could help as much as hurt Unity and existing directions. And potentially even bring a new era of mainstream Apple gaming (possibly dragging Linux even more forward too). I'd venture a suggestion that seems reasonable regarding fees

@jeffdo @80Level OSS is always going to be chasing commercial tech keeping things competitive. It's a long way off being viable for most games and players Bit of a gloomer take. It definitely could be unfortunate. But there is a lot of pressure either way creators will also create pressure

@jeffdo @80Level Too much ground to repeat doing the same thing. The advantage is already massive. The next steps are small and easy to deliver massive evolution and continued improvement for players, if producers and execs can keep their heads on straight-ish. No need to invent wheels again.

@_MarkLab @80Level It is. It would be cool of something even better showed up.

@jeffdo @80Level It's the best game development tool around

@80Level Honestly, something needs to replace unity.

@COWCATGames @80Level Surely they hope their investments go somewhere... As though unity ai is something more than an MCP implementation that others aren't doing for free already If the investment were focused reasonably, game development potential would grow. And overall r&D would still be cheaper.

@80Level Unity has always been bleeding money. I wonder what their plans are. If it's charging devs more, that won't go well.

Marek Bakalarczuk shared some recent achievements with Quark Multiplayer, pushing Unity's capabilities to support up to 300,000 players, with the potential to reach 1 million. Learn more and sign up to try: 80.lv/articles/quark…

Despite smashing internal & publisher goals on #LostSkies (Top 15 on #SteamNextFest!), layoffs impacted our team. Proud of what we accomplished—especially the incredible demo results and upcoming release. I'll be wrapping up my contribution to Lost Skies soon and moving on!

@Pjbomb2 Oooo nice

more fog experiements

@thomaspetersen Only optional ones for rewards, not forced in the main flow.

@_MarkLab Don't they do ads?

Sat down with the girls to play a bit of mobile games. You lot should be ashamed of yourselves. A disaster of shit games showing non stop ads targeted to install the next shit game. Rinse and repeat. Find your soul.

@2AngryGamers Amazing. Can't wait to share more!

@_MarkLab Loved it! Even still has some of the little foibles leftover from Worlds Adrift (like trying to wrestle with the ship dock to magnetise your vessel 😅) So glad it’s returned to us in Lost Skies! Looking forward to the full version - and the stormwall ⛈️👀

Our new public demo (launched today) just hit the Top 10 on Steam! The team’s incredible work shines in Lost Skies. Try the free demo now. A positive review lifts the team and fuels our dream. store.steampowered.com/app/3361040/Lo… #madewithunity #indiegame #SteamDeck

@Pjbomb2 Shifting origin large world

Anything y’all wanna see next?

@sebify Nice

Deepseek is giving me addressables answers that make more sense than the chatgpt ones! How!

Instead, he believed it was a problem worth solving and approached it without frustration, ultimately succeeding. This story serves as a reminder: don't listen to those who tell you that you can't achieve something, as many young people today are surrounded by negativity and doubt. Some people intentionally plant seeds of failure and frustration. You have the power to achieve your goals, overcome obstacles, and fulfill your aspirations. Simply trust in God and keep trying.” ✍🏽 Steve Gatena

I remain rather perturbed that so many young programmers believe that their users and managers don't care about quality. I'm even more perturbed that so many believe that coding speed is inversely proportional to quality. The only way to go fast is to go well. Writing good clean code is the fastest way to write code -- at any timescale.
