🤔 Peut-être avez-vous vu passer hier les hashtags #unity ou #unity3d auprès de pas mal de comptes de développeurs et studios indépendants.

Mais que se passe t-il réellement ?
Quelques explications.

This is fucked up. No other words for it. A REINSTALL is charged to game devs.

“The only people who complain now will be those that don't use the engine, want to troll, or are very unreasonable people.” 🤨🤨

Unity cancels town hall over reported death threats (www.theverge.com)

The Unity pricing debacle has taken an unfortunate, dangerous turn. In a new report from Bloomberg, the company has reportedly canceled a town hall meeting due to what the publication called credible death threats. According to Bloomberg, Unity CEO John Riccitiello was set to address employees Thursday morning, but the...

So, the betrayal with Unity is canceled... I can congratulate all the panickers and those who have already started studying other engines. Compromise seems to be the norm, and the logo made with unity can be off even with free use of the license.

What else do you need?

Capitalization in C# / Unity is an infuriating minefield.

Microsoft and Unity offer slightly different standards and then don't consistently follow them.

There is no entry for "capitalization" in the index for the 1000-page C# 10 in a Nutshell. There is some advice under "identifiers", but it differs from what is given by the previous two sources.

Many sources want to capitalize private and public fields differently. Why would you do that?!

Unity adds spaces and changes the capitalization when displaying class and field names.

If you refactor a name, Unity bloats your code with a FormerlySerializedAs attribute.

GameDev problem: the music in our WebGL game on itch.io won't start until the user clicks in the window. Unity claims this is a browser limitation (no autoplay):

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/webgl-audio.html

... but the user has already clicked to load and launch the game, so it seems there should be no reason to require another click. I know I've seen WebGL games on itch that don't have this problem.

Does anyone know a workaround?

Unity>Unreal devs: How did you find learning Unreal after a very long time using Unity (version 2!)
How did you find it?

I keep almost making the leap, but stop. Not quite sure why, I've been a dev since 1997 and have done all manner of things.. #Unity #Unreal #Gamedev

Okay since this worked really well last time, I have another request for advice. I currently focus on and try to get as good as it in as many areas as possible in the time I have. The reason for that is that I got a job where I could learn it and get paid for it. Now when looking at job offerings I find larger companies seem to prefer . Do I assume correctly that I need to chose one and will then kinda be stuck with it? I don't have time to learn two engines.

It's a common practice in Unity to start the name of a scene, prefab, etc. with an underscore so it will be listed first in the project window.

This is because things are sorted lexicographically and underscores come before letters in ASCII, right?

Well, no.

https://www.asciitable.com/

So what the heck is Unity using to sort things? Did they ... did they really add the underscore as a special case?

I have learned two things from the recent scandal.

  1. Publicly traded companies know no limits for greed, bumbling, and sheer dumb-fuckery in the pursuit of appealing to investors who are not invested in either the company's products or their customers.

  2. A surprising number of game developers do not know how to calculate basic percentages.

#Unity is gonna add a pricing tier for developers making them pay per download for their games :nkoFacepalm2:

This feels like the Reddit API fiasco all over again

Am I happy I chose Unreal Engine over Unity a while ago.. They have also a pricing tier but one that makes sense at least. Only from a certain downloads you're gonna pay just a few % to Epic

So, #unity is essentially going to start charging developers for even pirated copies of their games?

They did not think this through at all. Officially going to start recommending to my clients that they abandon Unity with due haste.

Hello Unity Developers from 🐸

Unity: I got issue with the engine. Mentioned about it in the forums and I got comment that my issue will be looked at.

Monogame: There was a bug in the framework. I wrote a hacky work around to fix the issue myself.
