Game Development

Never forget, every Unity demo we've seen has a ton of custom tools. For example, in "The Book of the Dead" they had all these custom tools, even some obscure AO tech for trees that didn’t work when I downloaded it. I remember complaining about it on their forums. Unlike Unreal, Unity’s never really “what you see is what you get”. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the short film, but Unity has always been like that, kind of "faking" the real capabilities of the engine. From an investor’s point of view, though, I guess it's good marketing.

not until they've unionized ✊

I am not in the position to decide which tech we use at the studio, however, as a Senior my voice is certainly heard when it comes to tech decisions.

And for Unity I can only say: No tech is worth the risk of dealing with such a shady company.

No, the cutscene looks great but I want to make games, not movies with it.

I played with Unity a bit and have a pretty fleshed out game idea. I can do the dev side on my own with placeholder assets when I finally have the time to sit down and do it, but there's no way I'm doing Unity after the way they treated their customers. Same with Unreal because of my distaste for Epic.

@BrikoX Not me. Now that they have told the world that their terms of service only bind their customers and not Unity, how can they ever be trusted again? Every word that you agree to when licensing under Unity must be considered a lie; you're really just agreeing to whatever they say at any point in the future, forever.

Looks useful for movie studios!

Fuck unity. Why are we even giving them any publicity?

No, why?

Because at any second they can decide its not enough anymore and backcharge every single install.

Fuck that.

That's a nope for me. Even with the recent changes, what they offer is less attractive than the competition, especially since their previous move gutted their one true edge, the asset store.

Depend on where you ask.

Lemmy will say nobody is going to return to Unity, but theyre pretty FOSS biased.

Discord? Probably already downloading it.
