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

How many octaves do you need? Want any other knobs, faders or pads? How about the feel of the keys: light plastic or weighted more like piano keys?

I don't really like making games i like making simulations.

Hmm, should be posting this on the forums, innit

But am I already fighting the core of the package's design philosophy here?

There is an action for Play() on particle systems, but there is no associated Stop(). I made a custom Action that calls Play() when it starts, returns Running in update, and calls Stop() when it ends (on interruption). This works, and I could use this same pattern for setting Animator state on/off

Mar @marzand.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

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

God yeah, I'm rewatching it now. Beyond acting and the cooking I'll highlight the music and sound design, like the drowsy space-time-smearing ambient that comes in when Hannibal works his charm on people.

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!

I didn't dare go OLED for my PC because I also use it for work, and the whole burn-in thing. But DS2 has me wishing I made a different choice. God, they're really rocking that Decima engine.

Our slimes are evolving ✨

Main goal: as a resident, see how you are affected by various placement proposals. And beyond that, our best predictions at how they would affect wildlife.

It's not done yet, but with an extra evening or two of work it should have all the core parts in it, and play like a little optimization game. I started making it when I was sent a pamphet making all sorts of wild claims about placing turbines in back yards, and other scaremongering.

Huge fan of this. I once spent a whole day making an edit of a mission impossible film to remove all the spoken dialogue. Love the change of focus that it brings, how you get meaning from the screen this way.

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.

If games are most similar to theater, then the desktop background is a very interesting place to perform some. All the rules are different.

Oooh, underwater is where we should be. 🫧 I really adore the design space of interactive desktop backgrounds. So many fun ideas opening up! Looks like that is February's jam locked-in.
