@thomaspetersen @hybridherbst In the end, the fall out from Packages is one of the biggest reason I personally quit. I think Packages can be done in a way that doesn’t cause a crazy amount of pain, but Unity wanted to move too fast to setup the structure needed to do them well.

@hybridherbst Packages. I argued against them, but not forcefully enough. And I could probably have had success putting up more guardrails internally before it ran completely amok in experimental mayhem. We wasted unbelievable amounts of time and effort on that.

Rider is easily the best C# IDE there is! This is great news for people with hobby projects and trying to learn!

@willgoldstone Congrats to the team! This is a big one!

It's here. #Unity6

In 28 minutes I'll be live at Jetbrains Game Dev Days talking about C# embedding, eep! youtube.com/live/0YVD9Zuei…

Very proud of the work Guerrilla and Nixxes did on making Horizon Zero Dawn look so much better. Too many to mention graphical systems were upgraded to PS5 level, and countless assets and animations were upgraded. blog.playstation.com/2024/09/24/hor…

Ok so @ShawnWhite and I took a little peek at the @DianaInitiative group CTF and ended up absolutely enraptured (totally a word!) in it all day! I'm pretty sure there was a great conference somewhere around us, alas!

@SquaredApe End of an era!

Unity's closing it's forums. Perhaps it's right that they took away my moderator status without so much as a thank-you or even a heads up. It was due to die it seems and I've gone down with the ship. Hahaha!

@BeeMixsy @kylepulver I know right?!

You can be critical of the companies, totally. I know I am! But the products themselves are personal achievements for those who worked on them. And you’ll need those people on your side to get ahead.

After talking with folk this past week: If you want to grow your company in an industry where you need to hire talent that has worked on competing products, maybe don’t bash on those products. Why would someone want to work for you if you constantly belittle their past work?

@willgoldstone I truly hope that your optimism comes true! As you know, I’ve been disappointed in Unity’s direction for a while. All the time and energy that has been going into it by some of the most amazing people I know, just for the whole product to stagnate. I look forward to what’s next!

Look, I know I’m biased; but I’m optimistic about Unity. / let’s thread! 🧵

It’s almost time for @sh4na to give her talk about adding C# to any game engine! It’s been fun watching her build the talk over the past few months! So many insights into the history of C# and the game industry. West Hall room 2005 at 10:50 for all you at #GDC2024 !!

@citizenmatt See you there!

Come and see us at GDC next week! Lots of gamedev stuff to talk about - Unity, Unreal, Godot. It's going to be fun 😁
