"Silencing individual creative artists based on their nationality does not promote better understanding or advance the cause of peace." Like if you're going to enact one boycott and deny the other at least keep your story consistent.

Imagine any other industry having the gall to ask to exempt themselves from copyright laws. It's either create difficulties for speculative tech companies or kill the creative industries that reliably contribute 5% (£126 billion) of the UK economy.

Unity: There are serious issues in this project and I will not continue until they are addressed
Game Dev: *deletes Library folder*
Unity: You son of a bitch, I'm in (the meme from Rick & Morty)

Spent a little time playing around with a stylised fire effect from @simonschreibt.bsky.social talk after hearing the news about Tequila works.

Post your most popular art from Twitter. It was a #gamedev thread, so let's repost the thread here (shameless 👅)

This Unity pricing plan is so poorly thought through. Remember when unity produced these end of year reports for installs? create.unity.com/2021-game-repo… It looks like someone just saw the 5Bill installs a month statistic and thought well if we charge 20c then we can make 1Bill a month
