I think the saddest part about Unity's godawful news is that a lot of games are going to just. disappear.

it's like Unity is trying to go the way of streaming where the hidden gems and cult classics don't make enough money, so, they're taken offline. except this time it's with games (mostly indie).

to put it in perspective, hollow knight, cuphead, and ori are made in unity. so are night in the woods, tunic, and countless more indie gems. hell, AMONG US is made in unity. if the devs of any of these games can't shell out the outrageous cost, then maybe the devs will take them offline. and we'll just. never be able to play them anymore

it's a sad possibility that I don't think any of us ever had to consider. but now we do.

indie games are safe!!

good news! unity has walked back a lot of the runtime fee!

they made a blog post outlining their new terms, the link is here. but if you want a sparknotes version, here's the highlights:

1. the runtime fee is not retroactive. previously released games are safe.

2. the fee only applies to the next major version of unity. developers can choose not to upgrade if they don't want do deal with it.

3. the fee is opt-in and number of installs is self-reported. if they'd prefer, developers can instead pay a 2.5% revenue share. (for reference, unreal is 4%.)

4. interestingly, the splash screen is being completely removed. this is probably a way to improve their reputation.

overall, this is a HUGE improvement! but, if I remember right, there was not any revenue share before, so, we are not at the same point we started. unity will still be taking a larger cut of developers' revenue if they choose to use newer features. but, it is nowhere near as drastic as we thought it would be.

overall, I think we're in a stable spot now, but I also think unity has lost most if not all of the trust it had. especially with indies. there has already been a mass exodus, and I kinda hope that will keep going.

programming languages are usually at least kind of legible, and then there's regular expressions, which look like arcane symbols used for summoning every demon in hell

this is technically human readable. someone wrote this.

I did a performance test for the pixel lighting plugin and oof it needs some improvements. I don't know how to improve it though without writing a custom renderer with a compute shader :'(

maybe I'll release an alpha version or something soon so people can play with it asap despite performance issues. learning how godot's render pipeline works and also learning C++ and GLSL will take a while...

been thinking of changing my username for a while bc I find it can be hard to say out loud, and if I get into streaming/youtube I need a name that's easy to say

but I don't want to commit to it yet bc I do like my current one, so in the meantime here's a poll about it!

should i keep or change my username?

keep!

change!
