Unity was one of the first applications that made me take a good look at FOSS in general because my experience with it was:
“Hey let’s make a game for our final project”
“Okay, let’s try Unity”
Flashbanged in light mode
Dark Mode is only available for real cash money subscription license
“Yeah okay nvm let’s try something open source lol”
I’m building something heavily reliant on the physics engine. Unity you need to be an enterprise member for the ability to override methods related to physics. Easy choice
Is that why so many unity games have the same feel? I’ve started looking into the game engine that’s used and avoiding unity games.
I can’t say thats why, regardless of engine you’re trying to solve basically the same problems, more likely which example project is used as a starter, which I’m sure very much the same can happen regardless of game engine.
With the FOSS spirit however Im sure more contributors will make plenty of viable starter asset packs for inexperienced users and diversify the “feel”
But I can say being able to actually interact with the phys engine is practically what’s enabling my project, so I would imagine that also has a part in the feel of games
They really paywalled dark mode? That move alone is incredibly dumb. Surefire way to alienate potential new users before they’ve even tested anything serious.
Used to. It took a single registry tweak to enable it which was easily found, but still a pain.
I don’t really understand, Unity started as garbage. Sure it got better. Now what’s this about it blowing up?
The company isn’t in great shape and their lack of focus made them neglect important parts of their main breadwinner, which is the engine itself. And corporate greed made their core product unattractive. I know a couple of big studios that said they will not make any new game in Unity because of the licensing fiasco.
It serves my purposes well enough, and I enjoy using it.
No amount of precedent will get me to stop pronouncing it G’doh.
This isn’t a Qt situation where the people who named it are objectively wrong about how those letters should get said. I just do not like any of the other options.
