Anyone getting glitchy issues / load scene issues with the latest Unity 6.2.6 building for Android? I'm seeing it across multiple projects now :/ after the 3rd or 4th launch, the glitches are gone. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

You're welcome. I just hope that when more treatments are available, they're accessible to all who need them and not deemed "too expensive" to be provided by the NHS. You can't and shouldn't put a price on someone's life.

I DID IT. It took four years, but I finally completed the Phoenix Wright Trilogy... (The 3rd game was really good!)

Spoiler-free highlights include this Final Fantasy reference and a reminder that AI is rubbish. Now I can finally play the ye-olde prequels!

Save screen for the Trilogy. First game was completed in 2021, second game completed in 2023 and the third game completed in 2025...

Chucked a few £ in the hat. A good friend of ours has bowel cancer for the second time. Had chemo the first time and it'd gone but then it was back at the first three-month check. 😞

She's survived it for five years now.
