#gamedev #indiedev #LastStance

Last Stance Logo Current TL;DR: Artwork for "Last Stance: A JuVentures Game," featuring a whimsical scene with a red-haired character in green, holding a sword and pulling the tongue of a surprised monster. The image is vibrant and cartoonish, presenting an illustrated scene. The top features the stylized title "Last Stance" in large, brush-stroked white and red letters, with "A JuVentures Game" in smaller white text underneath. In the main scene, a youthful character with wild red hair and a green outfit grapples with a bulbous, wide-eyed monster, pulling its long tongue. The character wields a sword in the other hand and has a potion bottle dangling from their belt. The background is a murky forest with shadowy figures and eyes peeking from the darkness, suggesting a playful yet adventurous setting.

So, when do I lose the imposter syndrome?

That's the neat part. You don't!

"The amateur believes he must first overcome his fear; then he can do his work. The professional knows that fear can never be overcome. He knows there is no such thing as a fearless warrior or a dread-free artist." —Steven Pressfield

Hey Developers: if you've got an upcoming game release or are releasing a demo, please, PLEASE check your music and make sure it's YouTube and Twitch safe!

Creators generally can't/won't cover games with copyrighted music, and its a pain for us to replace it.

"The Unity Runtime Fee will be charged to the entity that distributes the runtime."
That's not us, that's steam!

The ultimate conspiracy theory what's going on with Unity:

The executives who sold their shares before announcing the changes will get a huge bonus next year, cause they increased the revenue by 1000%+, because all the games out there can't just switch the engine and have to pay.
These people will leave shortly after they got their bonus.

• sell shares on a high
• get a short sighted bonus
• leave the company (they always do)

Unity right now.
We are not affected by the pricing model changes (so far), but Unity has set it self up as an unreliable "partner" you do not want to work with.

Who holds them back from doing in 2 years a retroactive "per game start" fee?

Darth Vader "altering the deal"

spielmannspiel, 9 months ago to unity

So Unity decided to "alter the deal" on their game engine.
Aggro Crab Games made a great post about it on Twitter.
Maybe they are doing a "Twitch" here, "going way too far, tuning down, looking as if they did something "good" and getting what they actually wanted without any backlash".
We will see.

Also the execs sold their shares on the company shortly before announcing this: https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/111054023440776533

hey mastodon admins, BRACE FOR IMPACT!
twitter did something dumb again.

looks like twitter has now disabled the ability for people without an account to view tweets.
test it with an inkognito tab.
this is bad for indiedev and artist.
This also breaks the preview on other platforms like discord or telegram.

@CNN on it
