¡Anunciamos que se han sindicalizado les trabajadores de Unity España! Por unas condiciones de trabajo justas y pactadas con les trabajadores.

Unity es un reconocido motor de videojuegos respaldado por una comunidad fuerte y creativa, cuyos proyectos no solo han aportado un gran valor cultural, sino una mejora social con simulaciones médicas y herramientas para la accesibilidad. Nosotres, trabajadores de Unity, buscamos ofrecer el mejor motor posible para esa comunidad.
Sin embargo, la salida a bolsa de la empresa ha significado constantes despidos en masa, política exigente bajo presión continua y creatividad silenciada. Cuando les empleades sufren, el motor también.
Les trabajadores de Unity España, en colaboración con CGT, Coordinadora de Informática y CSVI (Coordinadora Sindical del Videojuego), hemos constituido una sección sindical para defender y luchar por el bienestar de les trabajadores sin comprometer la calidad del motor.
A pesar del miedo a despidos masivos, a pesar del uso sin sentido de la IA, a pesar de la cultura de alto rendimiento,
¡Por unas condiciones laborales justas y pactadas con les trabajadores, ÚNETE!

Today, we announce that Unity Spain has unionized. For fair working conditions, negotiated with its workers!

Unity is one of the biggest videogame engines on the market supported by a strong community. We, employees of Unity, want to offer the best possible engine to unlock your creativity: not only building videogames or entertainment, but also medical simulation, tools to improve accessibility and any other work useful for our society.
However, since Unity's IPO, the dream was cut short: massive layoffs on a regular basis, high performance policy in a high pressure environment, and a silenced creativity. When the employees suffer, the engine suffers too.
We - workers from Unity Spain, thanks to the support of CGT, Coordinadora de Informática and CSVI (Coordinadora Sindical del Videojuego), have unionized so we can defend the workers' wellbeing as well as fight for a better engine without compromising on quality.
For preventing other massive layoffs, for stopping the unreasonable push towards AI, for ending the high performance culture,
For fair working conditions negociated with its workers, JOIN US!

Testing the new collision's features in VFX Graph, I made this cheap Katamary sample. Meshes are GPU particles, that stick and orient to the sphere. The Collider radius is driven by the sticky particle count stored in a tiny buffer. Thanks @shadi3st.bsky.social for the help on particle's orient.😁

We have advection! But not projection, so it just slides off with no interaction with the nearby voxels.
