I was really impressed with @UnrealEngine's demo video yesterday. So I decided to import some assets and build it in @unity3d #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev #realtime #unity #unreal #unrealengine #cgart

It's giving game of the year... ...I introduce the first in a mini series of Pigeon games I plan to release this year Time for some public accountability and time to get a couple games out on Steam under my studio name @94Interactive #crazypigeon #madewithunity #94interactive

A lifelike “Pigeon” controller #madewithunity

The time has finally come, only 30 days left in my Maya LT license RIP affordable Maya for Game Devs that isn't token or subscription based Onto @Blender! #indiegamedev #autodesk #mayaLT #blender

So happy to have made my first official book, first proof copies came in this morning. Hoping to publish it very soon! #Portugal #StreetArt

Putting the global in global game jam this year, it’s my 10th year participating and this time remotely from Portugal Signing off for the night with a gif of our quirky game #globalgamejam @bitbridgeindies @PIGDA #indiedev

Hey @GameDevLisbon I'm going to be in town next week from the 24th to the 3rd. Are there any events or meetups going on?

We had a wonderful time collaborating with Yo! Crash on their virtual Rage Room project! Here is a quick sizzle reel used to show off the experience at a recent Shark Tank regional expo #indiegamedev #vr #metaquest

If you can use some translucent(blurred) backgrounds on Unity Canvas elements This asset has worked wonders for me and is simple to use. It’s 50% off atm #releases" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools… #unity #unityassets #gamedev

@CiroContns @the_f_key I don’t have a full time role but, certainly have the need for a contract gig or two if their open to it. Would be happy to have a call and explore their interest.

Anyone looking for a great Game Designer? I know 2 that are looking for a job right now. Preferably small/mid-sized indie teams. Hire or contract. They are among the two best designers I know, seriously. Different strengths, ofc. If you message me, I can intro. (reshare -> 🙇🏻)

ARKit Facial Mocap is amazing! Awesome to work with inside Unity's Facial Capture feature Here is the new Female character for HollerBaller rigged and in engine for the first time! #madewithunity #indiegamedev #gamedev #facialmocap #hollerballer @94Interactive

Turns out I’m not the only one keeping track of trash night around here #trashpanda #holycrapyinearlyshitmyself

@emanatee So happy someone snagged it, was going to be so disappointed if they didn’t 😂

@ChrisMHatch It appears this is a known issue with Forward+. Fix is being worked on now.

Tried updating to #unity6 today, ran into a major problem with rendering. Seemed to be shadows at first but, even when disabled the artifacts still occur. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixes? #unity #unitysupport #unity6

Yeah I made a really simple itch game chrishatch.itch.io/patience with a preview of 6 a few months back and it went great! No hiccups, solid performance and amazing water/lighting performance. Though that was HDRP and Directional lights, so I wouldn’t have hit this URP + SpotLight use case

@TheRealEricHu @ChrisMHatch it depends on the scale, goals, and target platform(s) of the project. we've been using unity 6 for projects since it was in preview but our scope is relatively limited and usually only targeting one platform at a time. (compared to a medium to large cross-platform project).

@TheRealEricHu @LooperVFX Yeah, there are a lot of positives to upgrading but, not worth the downsides visually atm. Adaptive probes were very cool to play with, Resident Drawer, and the upscaler as you mentioned.

@ChrisMHatch @LooperVFX Yup it’s really too early to upgrade to unity6 for an existing project atm. Since the stability is still not there yet. Though in the mid term it might be worth considering upgrading it since the stp upscaler can potentially free lots of performance for mobile projects.

@TheRealEricHu @LooperVFX Just tried in my test project, enabled or disabled I get the same result. However, I did discover something around the SpotLights. When their influence cone influencing the artifact prevalence #unity6

@TheRealEricHu @LooperVFX I've reverted the project since my tests but, is the resident drawer on by default in Unity 6? Might be worth another test without the drawer enabled...but, if reflection probes are broken that is pretty fundamental too, so still a no go for upgrading

Looks like realtime spotlights just don't work in the engine right now when in URP

Just tried using #unity6 in the default URP sample. Massive rendering artifacts present. Same as witnessed in my game's project. -macOS 14.7 - MacBook Pro M1Max - Unity 6000.0.23f1 Scene - Two Spotlights overlapping - No Directional Light - Everything else is default to URP sample #unitysupport
