Unity Engine - Tumblr Posts
SS: I was unsure whether post here or what but, damn, Twitter is a burning hell and I just want to make funny videogames with my friends.
This is Birthright, a "small" project that was supposed to just take a couple of months but OH WELL, in four month will be a year, hell. This videogame is, clearly, based on The Binding of Isaac and intended to be a roguelite hack and slash. But since it is made in unity, this whole project has been a real ordeal, like, for some reason shaders didn't work and I had to delete the whole URP STUFF AND RE DO LIKE EVERYTHING?!?!?!?
In response to Unity’s pricing changes i see a lot of people jumping ship, while I’m not mad at the people moving to Unreal, as it’s a good engine, I do want more people to try Godot. It’s done 2d really well for years now, ans with 4.0 it’s 3d is much much better, so please give it a go, you might be surprised.
Edit: and try out all those little engines on GitHub, or make your own!

Unless you only play tRIpLE A titles this will most likely affect a game you like. Hell, it can even affect really big games like Pokemon Go.
For a long time, starting years and years back, a lot of people have been talking about the preservation of games and being against moving to digital only games for reasons like this, and how the greed of various big companies in the game industry will negatively impact access to games and their preservation. It's happening. This will impact games that are already out. This will impact games being made. This will impact games made in the future. So if you care even a teensy tiny bit about a single game made in unity, or you care about the future of game development period, I suggest you pay very close attention.
A good article from an indie developer detailing the changes and exactly how it screws devs over:
Huh. That's a lot of games.
