Der Staat investiert Hunderte Millionen € in Games - mit wenigen Ausnahmen entstünden aber nur "Flops am Fließband", schrieb die @wirtschaftswoche.bsky.social im April. Der Beitrag löste im Bundestag kritische Nachfragen beim Wirtschaftsministerium aus - jetzt liegen die Antworten vor.
Games-Förderung: Bund investiert 178 Mio. € in fünf Jahren - GamesWirtschaft.de
Was, wie viel, an wen – und warum? Das Wirtschaftsministerium muss aktuelle Zahlen rund um die Games-Förderung offen legen.

Die Branche schiebt Frust - und für die CDU/CSU ist klar, wer Schuld daran hat: „Habeck wollte unbedingt das Games-Referat in seinem Haus haben, jetzt beerdigt er es." #kolumne

Die Abschaffung eines eigenständigen Games-Referats im Wirtschaftsministerium mag wie eine Petitesse wirken, ist aber ein Schlag ins Kontor.

So I just found out that apparently, a lemon is not naturally occurring, and is a hybrid by cross breeding a bitter orange, and a citron! Which means life never gave us lemons! We invented them all by ourselves!

You have heard about the formatting options of strings, but did you know these work for structs like Vector3?

Use them in your interpolated strings to get a nicer output! In our example the F2 formats the float components to two digits.

New week, new screenshot.

We've been asked a few times what a parking garage in #parkingworld could look like.

Something like this. What do you think? Is this a proper parking garage or what? 🥳

Wishlists are welcome. Thank you 🥰

Need to avoid real transparency? Try dithering! 😎

With just a handful of nodes you can create the effect to fake transparency or stylize the look of your project. Its also faster than real transparency. 🤯

Check the screenshot for an example setup!

Choo Choo, all aboard. The weekend is coming up.

In #ParkingWorld we also have a rail system, of course.

"But it's Parking World, how do I park a train?"

We're talking about park & ride here. Park outside the city and take the train into the city. 😊

Als Mitglied im @gameverband.bsky.social waren wir ebenfalls in Berlin beim #gameSommerfest dabei. Spannende Gespräche mit Vertretern aus der Gamingbranche sowie der Politik inklusive.

Für uns als kleines Studio ist das Sommerfest schon ein wichtiges Happening mit wertvollem Austausch.

Hey #WishlistWednesday!

Yes, we know that the game idea is a bit unusual. But someone had to realize it. 😇

Super short: In #parkingworld you can build and manage your own parking lots and parking garages.

It's so crazy, you have to #steamwishlist it

The weather is lousy, but #ParkingWorld is currently celebrating the Prune Festival. We're alone there at the moment. 😑

But we are preparing for another festival, but shhh! 😉
It's a secret.

Tune in next week for more details!

Vsync is part of the project quality settings.

If you want to give the player access to this setting you can store an int in the PlayerPrefs and set it on scene start.

Our example stores "Don*t sync" & "Every V Blank" for the use in a toggle field👇

A lot of time and energy went into this! I am proud of what we did there. Try it in the upcoming steam next festival!
The hashtag #developmenttuesday has not been used for a long time. So it's also a good start for us to show you what has happened in the last few months.

Left side August 2023, on the right side April 2024

And we're not done yet, there are still great features and eye candy to come 😊
