Rival developer? Please, I’m pretty sure the call is coming from within the house here - this is exactly the sort of thing 4chan would do because a game asked them pronouns or gave them a wetsuit skin instead of a bikini one

We need to make Godot the biggest engine for indie devs just like how blender is the go to 3d modeling software.

Godot is fantastic! I really want it to become the Blender of game engines.

Speaking of, it does have great integration with Blender. By default, you’ll want to import 3D stuff as .gltf, but if you have blender installed, Godot/Blender will automagically import .blend files as .gltf

Just to add, there was a post i saw where someone got Geometry Nodes working in godot through .blends. They’re static in Godot, but as soon as you save in Blender, it updates in godot without export

Shoutout to Renpy. I love me some VNs and I love that little engine. It’s so user friendly (as in for the player) and it’s open source.

Renpy is i believe already the most used tool for VNs. It uses python so it allow far more customization than just a classic branching VN. Granted, you need to learn python, but at least it’s the most used programming language in the world not some proprietary language that may die anytime.

A minute of silence to all actionscript 2/3 (the adobe flash programming language ) devs

The most used programming language in the world is Excel, not Python.

I know it’s one of those modeling software that cost the same as a car. There’s 3ds max also.

I never get tired of this.

Execs of a company that makes bajilions dollars a year want to buy a new yacht, so they make the most corrupt, greedy, and stupid decision imaginable. There is a mass exodus of consumers who pay these shitty execs in the first place, resulting in losses.

Being an exec is a job even the stupidest motherfucker can do and it shows

This isn’t even the part that’s supposed to make them money. This is investor bait. They announce this and idiot investors who have no idea how this will damage Unity’s userbase jump on their stocks thinking it’s about to earn a lot more money. The CEO of Unity just sold 2,000 shares. He fucked both his company, the industry and his investors for a quick buck.

The CEO of Unity is also the former CEO of EA. So that tracks

This is a symptom of the casino that is the stock market. No-one cares about revenue, as long as share prices increase and they can sell before prices drop again. The result is short-term decision-making, and everyone who “matters” likes it.

The call-home code can probably be disassembled, extracted and put on a loop, no need to actually install anything. Ddos the server with “install” messages.

You never know. Some people ABSOLUTELY believe that using (insert thing they don’t like here) makes people deserving of any and all abuse.
