Building things @ Unity; cooking other things at home.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

I’m finally trying out Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Initial thoughts: First thought: The prologue is a very interesting demonstration of “show don’t tell,” and very effective at setting up the motivation for the story.

Unity has updated their DOTS Samples repository with two new documents: "Misconceptions about DOTS and Entities" and a performance checklist. They are a great read and a first step towards undoing the misunderstandings DOTS caused. Find them linked in the ReadMe here: github.com/Unity-Techno...

There are times when "we don't need Office subscriptions, we have Google Workspace" sounds reasonable, and then there are times when you try to do something in GWorkspace and you realize just how far behind Office it actually is. (Today's challenge: a mail merge).

I keep trying to give it a fair chance, but I remain convinced that MSBuild is an absolutely awful piece of technology. It is a damn shame that the .NET ecosystem has built so much around it because as a result I don't see it improving any time soon.

I'm begging you, small game developers, do not silo all feedback, info, workarounds, etc into discord. The fraction of folks who know where to look, or even want to join are so small. Joining a discord for every game I'm playing just to see if a patch is coming is driving me up the wall.
