Unity Gossips

So, if you're new to game development, or if you haven't heard, Unity plans on increasing their pricing for running their games, and charging dev teams for those expenses. Read for yourself on their blog here:

So some notes of interest from what I read, and what a lot of people seem to not care about (yet) because the runtime fees are what most people are up in arms about right now.

I mean, rightly so, given the whole "retroactively" and "based on Install, Not Purchases" which is ridiculous given pirating is pretty prevalent in the games industry. (I mean, totally pirate the big-name games, Fuck EA).

Smaller studios are going to suffer from this. It's bad. Even though it's written from an "EFF THE RICH!" standpoint, from the Games Industry, you might want to tack on a couple of zeros onto the end of these numbers for it to only affect larger corps. Think of Toby Fox getting pwned by this for Undertale and Deltarune, and you'll begin to see why it's bad to do this retroactively.

Oof, billed monthly. Damn.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE Fuckery!

If you pay them to run their ad service on your games (depleting your revenue for Free to Play games), you can get a credited discount for the Runtime. Games similar to MergeDragons will get More Ads! Fun!

Last, but certainly not least, Unity has its own AI Suite!

How much do you want to bet "the ability to add AI functionality at runtime (Unity Sentis)" needs to be toggled OFF in order to not aggregate more data? Any takers to that bet? Does anyone in their right mind on this site think that it Won't be On all of the time?

There are likely many reasons for why they're so very willing to cover the additional cloud computational costs (read Alphabet, AWS or Azure Services, $$$$$) on the data you can give to their game-build assist AI program, and that does not bode well for any developer. Or any players, for that matter.

Not only that, but their asset management tools, and build minutes cost additional amounts unless you pay for premium tiers?

Yeah, not great. 10GB storage total. On 3D rendered art pieces/collections. Roll20 has the same amount of storage space as Unity Personal.

So that's it for Unity's blog post that I was able to spot, BUT the most amusing thing to me of all things is that Humble Bundle and Gamedev.tv took less than 24 hours to negotiate a new bundle for Godot.

Waiting

(extra comic after cut)

"There wasn't anyone waiting for me when I woke up"

mizurui, middle school, and a play about waiting

Prosecutors' honest reactions.

A lot of fans probably missed it because they don't know the 't' in Godot is silent. But Godot's alias is made up of the last syllables of his first and last name (Diego Armando)

has this been done yet

game dev is such an alluring thing to try to do bc its a kind of media that allows for such an active and direct way to interact with others like most things just dont

im still dreaming of trying it every now and again but, among my other problems, i run into the more unique problem of .. not knowing or not wanting to start bc i cant find tutorials that teach me about how i structure code, where do i begin, where does a script go, what makes sense to seperate into its own piece of code and what should stay together, what do i do first?? i have found ones that teach you about single things but never really how to structure it all, how it should look like as a whole, and idk what mental wall i run into but i need to know before i can even try!! its the not knowing where to start that keeps blocking me bc i dont want to make a mess, i am very chaotic and code is something hard to get right and hard to untangle so i dont want to just .. do stuff that wont work

Different.. colored pony doodles

Talking under the cut!!

Real talk though. I've been thinking about Klav and him being a unicorn like his brother and how would that fit overall, since initially i made him an earth pony.

Because it also made sense to me, since i did kinda made Gavins with Flim and Flam in mind, but with Klav specifically there was also Coloratura, because. Reasons. Wonder what you guys think fits him more?

Dahlia and Iris, i've been thinking that their cutiemarks should be something practically the same at first glance, like Pear Butter's cutie mark being preserved pear jam.

Ema is also a mystery to me, because initially i wanted her to be a unicorn, but that was at the same time i wanted to switch Klav to a unicorn. Which would mean in the court setting and investigation time - Trucy would be the only earth pony. Which is really funny.

I hate how most prosecutors are pegasus in my head.

And how Miles starts flying again after meeting Phoenix in court. You know that fidget Twilight once did? I imagine him doing it pretty often, especially if he's flustered.

Also idk if i should tag these sillies.

An Eevee card render for @poketcg-art’s redraw event, in which I was a bit more focused on the GPU definition of draw than actually redrawing the art. Render made in Godot, card artwork and graphics made in Photoshop.

The amount of time spent on redrawing the actual artwork was way less than writing the custom lighting shader and trying to figure out why/how the real card’s holographic foil actually reflects light the way it does. (after some research I understand the physics principle of holographic foil, but… the mirroring stripeyness of this card in particular? no idea.)

This is my digital redraw of the original artwork (not the star of the show here):

And this is the reference card, with artwork by Ken Sugimori (such a standard choice- but I’m a sucker for the classic art) in definitely-not-mint condition:

help wtf is this program im so confused what the fuck does any of this mean

Live Action Snow White

I hate how this could have been down WELL if Disney cared.

- Have actors with Dwarfism act as the Dwarves + consult experts and people w/ dwarfism on avoiding stereotypes and showing them as actual people.

- If you want a non-white Snow White, go for East Asia, specifically Japan, since there's some Japanese culture you could reference in regards to 'hair dark as night." Like the book In Praise of Shadows, you could have subtle nods to Japanese Aestheticism. (Although Rachel Z LITERALLY looks like a real life Disney Princess. If she's Snow White, they should have leaned into her Colombian + Polish background).

- Hell, if you want someone who isn't white or East Asian, you could get an actress with albinism or even vitiligo (would look a bit like snow?). That would be really cool, actually.

- You could make some interesting references to Japanese history and fashion. Like Kanzashi sticks as hair accessories AND weapons. They were sometimes used to fend off attacks & assassinate political rivals. Some Kanzashi has bells hanging from them that jingle in the wind. That would explain why the Prince would find her in the woods. I feel like we'd all be confused about hearing bells in the middle of nowhere lol.

- You could go with practical effects and actually make everything look magical. and REAL. NO CURSED POLAR EXPRESS CGI DWARVES PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!

I hate that Disney is doing cheap rage bait and are happy to throw her to the wolves. They KNEW what would happen. They're just trying to start shit at this point.

Also people saying that Gal Godot is prettier than Rachel Zegler so she has no reason to be jealous haven't watched the original Snow White film. Not to mention Gal Godot sure is RACIST enough to be jealous of biracial woman's looks.
