Original screenshot in Q2, compared to running the map in Unity (in full color and "software mode" without colored lights). Light mapping needs work and I know how I want to improve it, but very satisfied with the results at this stage

I absolutely have to get off this "do it right" mindset and just jump back in

And yes, paid courses are fine!

Michelle Sleeper @msleeper.bsky.social · 1d

Can anyone recommend any Unity tutorials / classes that AREN'T basic / beginner / "my first whatever" type of stuff? Assume I've done all of my prototyping and proof of concept work, and I'm ready to begin building full scale systems that will work beyond a single Scene #unity #gamedev #solodev

Brutal stuff: www.gamesradar.com/games/over-5...

Over 5,000 games released on Steam this year didn't make enough money to recover the $100 fee to put a game on Valve's store, research estimates

And over 8,000 games are estimated to have earned under $1,000

Where would it aggregate it from? This seems easy enough to do or at least experiment with, but I wouldn't even know where to begin to find respectable "gaming news" sources to roundup from

Looking forward to this one. I think there's some really interesting ideas in Q4 that got kind of smothered by mid-00s gaming trends. The stroggification narrative could have been supported with more interesting or radical gameplay elements / changes

All worth it for THAT scene, though

since it's the last day of pride month I figured I'd at least make one thing for it...

i now unveil to you my greatest invention:
color bars pride flag

An LGBTQ+ pride flag formatted in the layout of the SMPTE "color bars" test pattern used for broadcast television. The first set of columns use the colors of the gay pride flag, with the addition of the original SMPTE color on the final column. The second set of columns contains two pride flags - the pansexual flag horizontally, and the asexual flag flipped and horizontal. The final set of columns contains the three colors of the transgender flag and the two POC-inclusive colors, followed by the original bar gradient from the SMPTE ECR-1-1978 pattern.

This is 100% accurate, every time:

David Graeber Institute @davidgraeberinst.bsky.social · Jun 8

David Graeber said this in 2012 about protests in New York City.

Though this is increasingly what is happening this week in Los Angeles.

davidgraeber.org/articles/con...

“If the police decide to attack a group of protesters,
they will claim to have been provoked, and the
media will repeat whatever the police say, no matter
how implausible, as the basic initial facts of what
happened. This will happen whether or not anyone
at the protest does anything that can be remotely
described as violence. Many police claims will be
obviously ridiculous but no matter how many times
the police lie about such matters, the national media
will still report their claims as true, and it will be up
to protesters to provide evidence to the contrary. “
.

A LOT of people criticize or dismiss games because they aren't something they never said they were trying to be or were trying to be, but people just... thought they were going to be that. And then they weren't, and they get mad at the game for it and call it "bad"
