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

Testing the waters with something a little different: a sci-fi decal/vector pack. Not sure if there's interest in this sort of thing, but they're fun to make. Got ideas for other packs and more pay what you want stuff in the pipeline.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

My even more unpopular opinion is unless you have personally experienced the thing, you should probably refrain from having an opinion on it.
We need to return to shaming people for parroting YouTube/TikTok with stuff like "When I want your opinion, I'll just find the YouTuber who gave it to you."

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
