Holy hell, got Volo Airsport ancient and broken codebase working in Unity 6! It needs further love, but it's looking really good. This will fly again.

snes, ps1, gamecube, dreamcast, ps2 are all defunct consoles. they no longer require any kind of licensing to make games for them Id love to see a blossoming of GOOD unity/godot tools and exporters for those consoles, so that homebrew can evolve beyond random curiosities into more full games

as an indie dev, i think it is becoming clear that your minimum hardware spec should be a potato from ten years ago if you want to find a player base

I'm taking Unity's Behaviour package for a spin. Question: I have particles that should play when a behaviour branch becomes active, and stop when that branch is interrupted. Thing is, I can't find a way to cleanly do that with the default action and sequence nodes? #unity3d

An example behaviour tree in Unity, with two branches. Left is high priority, right is low priority. A custom action is used to play and stop particle effects.

a bizarre thing happening over and over is less sex in general media and less catering to womens libidos meaning a loss of profit for the old dudes in boardrooms simply bc they hold the opinion that its distasteful, ‘uncool’ to other men and a waste of resources to encourage/proliferate womens joy

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source. It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4V2... Companion blog post: blog.runevision.com/2026/03/fast... #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

I'm almost there it's so pretty!! 😭 this is the first time I've made extensive use of complex numbers in shader code, which has been fun! it's an analytic 2D lighting system through piecewise conformal maps representing angular light/"sky" exposure, which means you get fully analytic penumbras!

Giving our desktop buddies an environment to live in. 🟥🌳✨ No underwater world yet. The assets are not ready. So forest it is! Integrating all of this tightly with the Windows desktop experience is taking a lot of engineering time, but the result is so satisfying.

Die neue Folge von Random Encounters ist online! Wir haben uns eines sehr komplexen Themas angenommen, zahlreiche Interviews geführt, Studien gewälzt, und intensiv über unsere eigenen Moralvorstellungen nachgedacht. insertmoin.de/random-encou... CW: Sexismus, sexualisierte Gewalt, Mord, Inzest

Ein Screenshot aus dem Spiel Seed of the Dead. Darauf zu sehen ist eine junge Frau mit großen Brüsten und eng anliegendem, bauchfreien Oberteil, die an einen Holzpfahl gefesselt wurde. Sie blickt auf eine riesige Kreissäge, die sich scheinbar direkt auf sie zubewegt.

"Squeeze holes" are a great example of something that served a purpose, became a common feature of AAA games, and now persist despite no longer serving that purpose. Now you have games and demos that include them issue a disclaimer about how they *aren't* loading! (substack.com/@jmargaris/p...)

Paragraph of text describing how the Unreal Engine 5 demo and God of War: Ragnarok include squeeze holes but not to mask loading
