Folks Talking About Game Devs Dropping Unity Or How It Won't Hurt Small Indie Devs With Under 200,000.

Folks talking about Game Devs dropping Unity or how it won't hurt small indie devs with under 200,000. Are missing the point.

Some of these Unity games can't change to another engine because they have years of code piled on top of each other at this point. aka POKEMON GO. They'd basically have to rebuild the game from scratch.

Not to mention Unity is mostly used by phone app games or Indie's that are lucky enough to get picked up by console. Indie games on Mobile easily pass 200,000 downloads. Temple Run 1 and 2 are in Unity, Crossy Road, Angry birds 1 and 2, and Hearthstone. All of these past 200,000 downloads years ago but aren't bringing in money now except hearthstone.

The Developers will do what happened to the first Angry birds app. They'll take it down, build it in a new engine for "HD", and add a shit ton of micro transactions. We are about to lose countless original versions of the OG pre lootbox mobile games.

We are also about to lose some of the biggest Indie games of the last decade. Among Us, Plague Inc., 7 Days to die, the original Slenderman game and it's sequel, I am Bread, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dream Daddy, Overcooked 1 & 2, Pathfinder online, Cup Head, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Oxygen Not Included, Bloons Tower Defense 6, Beat Saber, Subnautica, The Stanley Parable, Untitled Goose Game, Power Washing Simulator, Fall Guys, Inscryption, Phasmophobia

And the big one FUCKING HOLLOW KNIGHT. Silk song has already been pushed back out of this year specifically because it's being made by a team of like 3 people. It is so close to being finished and now they are being told they have to start over from scratch basically. Hollow Knight got over 200,000 downloads from being on playstation and was eventually put on Playstations subscription service. Every cent they made from hollow knight has gone back into making silk song. Which might now be delayed by multiple years and oh they are going to have to use some of that funds to pay unity now. Or find a way to get out of a contract with playstation. Because folks will keep downloading Hollow Knight for free and Unity will send the Hollow Knight team the bill.

oh and there's one more teeny tiny game made in Unity that you guys might not want to suddenly disappear. One with almost 3 years of monthly code updates, one with 139 million downloads to date, and 4.8 million monthly users.

Genshin. Guys Genshin Impact is made completely in Unity and that's not a game that can have it's code just copy and pasted to another engine.

Can we have other bug behaviors? Like Hornet or Quirrel?

Oh what a fun one! I'll just do Hornet for now. Hornet, being a mix of a Spider and a Wyrm-Dragon, has some weirdness going on. Neither side meshes well with each other, and some behaviors are uniquely her own. I'll put it under the cut like before.

She's a little nearsighted, and slightly colorblind (Protanomaly). She hasn't admitted this to anyone, however. Her other senses are much stronger to compensate, and she's really good at picking up vibrations in the ground and air.

She's considered a Hyper-Carnivore, because at least 70% of her diet is meat or animal products. Hornet's also a bit of a picky eater, and she doesn't like vegetables or fruits. She will eat them if she's starving, though. (She won't like it).

Thanks to her Wyrm genes, she is a slight hoarder. It's certainly not 'piles of gold' level, but she has a terrible habit of picking up shiny things and tucking it away into her cloak. She will also do this with food.

EXTREME PREY DRIVE. If you move a bit too fast or if you're a bit too skittish or jumpy Hornet will be weird about it. If anything moves near her quickly she'll immediately turn her head to track it. Luckily she's sort of trained herself to not pounce on other bugs...unless you're Ghost. Cain instinct.

While not nearly as meticulous about it as Tiso, she will clean and groom herself. She mostly cleans her mask (around the eyes and mouth mostly) with her hands or her cloak.

She's a little fuzzy!!! Hornet has a bit of fur on her back and neck, and a little on her chest. She thinks it looks silly.

Hornet's venom is much, much weaker compared to Herrah. Herrah's venom could literally dissolve other bugs, Hornet's venom can only paralyze for a few hours, and is only fatal if she bites near organs. So far since the end of the infection, she's bitten Ghost (Several times), Quirrel (Several times), Cloth, Tiso (several times), Ogrim, Cornifer, and Willoh.
