A bit of fun making a procedural fire shader

.@DarwinStreams showcased a pseudo-volumetric smoke effect created with Unity's Particle System, optimized to run smoothly on low-end mobile devices. Learn more: 80.lv/articles/unity…

Also has screen depth fade for the intersections with the ground. Unlit. The lighting is just light dir ⋅ world normal and then lerp for the highlight and the shadow. Made it for my mobile game, so performance wise that costs pretty much nothing in the context of my scene.

Particle system emitting spheres and a shader, that uses inverted Fresnel and scrolling texture to feather out the edges and give shape to the smoke. Surprisingly performant

@SKIPAHH Yes

I'm HULKING OUT. Overwatch killer game I like hulking out. clips.twitch.tv/DifferentBovin…

@PMAJellies @unitygames Yeah but in a studio setting 200k revenue is nothing. Midrange mobile studios often operate on pretty thin 5-10% margins. So you could be in a situation where you earned 200k rev but made only 10k profit and Unity is now “taxing” you 40k. Completely insane

@DarwinStreams @unitygames Am I reading this wrong? Says the fee only applies to those that made over $200k and have 200k installs...

I’ve been developing in Unity3D for over 12 years. Every other system in unity has been remade better by users. Unity community have substituted the shitty documentation. Everything that actually makes Unity a good and usable engine it owes to its users. Fuck you @unitygames

Its funny that "He launched rockets into space" is somehow an argument for @elonmusk ability to manage people. Soviet dictators were really good at launching rockets too 🚀 not exactly the best long term approach

we picked up every player whose boat we killed, into our sloop @SeaOfThieves

@mushu_la Im sorry but you have some things to work on, fillipino vtuber asmr scene is competitive af

@DarwinStreams Only 9? ☹️

I-

@KarQGames Brig’s rally armour blocking more damage than regular armour. Which was in the game since her release and till 2 years ago

Remember some of the most game changing bugs that were in the live game for way too long? Brig bash + whipshot boost Genji Ledge dash Avoiding Junkertown by breaking the motorcycle Hook 1.0 Ball 2x damage piledrive Mercy dmg boosting hanzo dragon Anythin else?

@Liam_ODD Would ya look at that beard, very nice

8 am Pint can* only mean one thing 👀✈️

@andygmb1 yes

A tough pillow to swallow

Made a spreadsheet to compare concurrent players to concurrent players peaks and Twitch viewership for games on Steam. Sim games have crazy loyal fanbase. CP2077 is dead even by singleplayer standards. Twitch viewership doesnt reflect game's playerbase bit.ly/3EGMqKF

What if your abilities had an effect on the environment? Allow Sombra to give you a demonstration... Our first big project is finally complete! Watch it on YouTube for better quality :) #Overwatch #Animation #Sombra #UE4

@charles_grassi Looks pretty great, is this gonna be publicly available at any point?

🍃Experimenting with fluffy grass shader🍃 10 million quads at 60 fps in a single draw call using Graphics.DrawProcedural, the quad mesh is then constructed in the vertex shader #indiedev #unity3d #madewithunity #gamedev #indiegame #cartoon #shader

@bgolus I wonder if unity will introduce a nanite-like system, at its core it seems fairly straightforward. Or perhaps some assetstore genius will do that for them lol

When the first trailers for Black Myth came out about a year ago, I commented that the geometry detail they were pushing seemed optimistic, and noted occasional framerate issues. Fast forward a year and ... whelp, Unreal Engine 5 seems to have fixed that problem for them.

@AlanZucconi Heroes of Might and Magic III

So. Is there an old game that you still play every now and then? 🙈 I'll start. "Star Trek: Armada II". But the highly modded "Fleet Operations" version.

@Stylosa @Jay3OW I think you forgot quotation marks for American “bread” (90% sugar not technically bread)

@Jay3OW What you should do is get some none shite American bread, and also some none shite American butter. Then get back to me sunshine.

Butter on bread is disgusting. Just going to put that out there
