@eric_seufert So if CPI increased due to idfa deprecation, why doesn’t it decrease now that they got their targeting back on track?

Meta Q3 2024 earnings: 19% revenue growth, price per ad mostly flat Meta noted repeatedly in the earnings call that much of its advertising revenue growth can be attributed to the investments it has made into the AI systems that rank content, automate campaign optimization, and target relevant users across Meta’s portfolio of ad placements. For this reason, I believe that investor skittishness to Meta’s planned capital expenditure increases within this arena (which excludes Reality Labs) is misguided. It’s clear that these investments are delivering real, immediate returns. And it should also be clear that these systems are table stakes for preventing the companies inhibited by “small platform syndrome” from growing into genuine competitors. I would argue that these investments are not only justified but imperative to maintain the company’s competitive position.

@thomasbrushdev I have 999+ warnings since Unity 2022

If you think this isn't normal I'm not sure you've made a game before in Unity:

today I bought a new rubber duck. made an app out of it which opens chatgpt as a menubar app. So now I actually can talk to my rubber duck and it helps me to develop my games

@Thomasbcn You are missing that 0.5 has to be paid either way, with or without using Apple’s store. Monthly. And if you don’t accept the new terms I guess you can’t publish at all anymore… as always. This actually becomes unsustainable for 99% of apps.

@tha_rami Are people still using wacoms nowadays? I would go straight with an iPad I think…

@EDROXinc @zellah Are you sure? I always thought whenever something is referenced within the scene it will get loaded into memory at app start. I didn’t know that materials/textures are the exception here. If so should we prewarm them before needed?

@zellah In unity textures referenced by a material are typically loaded into memory when the material is rendered by a MeshRenderer. Unity's rendering system is designed to optimize resource usage, and it employs a mechanism called "on-demand loading" for assets like textures

Hi folks, Unity question. If you have a script(MonoBehaviour) referencing a material. Are the textures that the material is referencing loaded into memory at startup, or are they loaded into memory when the Material is actually rendered by a MeshRenderer?

@AaroArts That was the idea though. I am actually surprised they did as much. But now they still are in a bad position and most probably everyone will keep using Unity 2023 for the next 2-3 years while in the meantime godot is getting the needed lift. Then make the switch.

@eric_seufert Only available to subscribers. Do you also charge a fee every time I reopen the site? 😉

My thoughts on the new runtime fee: mobiledevmemo.com/unity-introduc…

Unity to mobile game developers:

@buildbox Little bit late to regain that trust again. But who knew that after the bb fiasko someone else can f up even worse.

Have you heard about our new revenue share options? Get the full details here: bit.ly/3K92atU #indiegames #makemoney #gamedev #indiedev #ai

@dreamteckstudio wow, not sure if this is good or bad. Will you keep developing the plugins (dreamteck splines) or is this an early good bye?

We just made our Unity Assets free on the asset store. Now everyone can get Dreamteck Splines and Forever: Endless Runner Engine and use them commercially in their projects! #AssetStore #madewithunity #gamedev

Well deserved! Top notch tutorials.

Working on an update that you thought will take you couple of weeks but then you realize that it’s already 4 months. Wtf!

@McFunkypants Did you just describe me?

turning old in a couple weeks and I keep fantasizing about radically changing my whole life. it is so dumb. like somehow I will wake up that morning and start working out, eating healthy, sleeping longer, taking my biz to the next level, etc etc so sad

@neustarZura @BhushanVishwas @Lyncworld What screen is that. Setup looking nice

Sunday well spent in Buidling for #gamejam by @Lyncworld. Deadlines can result in great output! #BUIDLing #Web3gaming

@AaroArts I’m in for that too. Miss the days in community pushing each other’s inspiration. ❤️

So excited for #GameDev in 2023. I’m hoping to join a new #IndieDev community, so please share some if you know any. I really want to be surrounded with creative, supportive and passionate #IndieGame devs who just love making and sharing games and experience. Thanks 🙏🏼

@albertcox Still don’t get how you just can keep traveling and traveling. #jealous

@appventuretime Toronto this Month and then Portugal come Aug/Sept… and then NYC for some weeks. 😅kinda wish i found a place i liked enough to stay for a bit.

Love this - so many people have “opinions” (noise) but bring no clear solution or alternative.
