In case you missed it in the #Unity earnings call, they are trying to get their ad malware on phones at the carrier level and bypass app stores.
"... it drives installs of game
and nongame applications on Android devices around the world based on carrier relationships. That essentially puts us in the ads
business payment."
yes-no circled, these are the sounds that unity has detected as virtual and they may not be played, as seen from the profiler, the sounds that are detected as NO are 7 km from the listener, and the sound that is 40 meters away has become virtual
#unity has decided that a sound played somewhere 7000 meters away has a better chance than one that is 40 meters away
Wow, it's been a while! In less than an hour at 5pm ET / 2pm PT, I'll be chatting with gamedevs Abhi of Venba, Marina Ayano Kittaka of Sephonie, Natalie Tin Yin Gan & @remysiu of 1000xResist!
We'll have a profound talk on how our respective games and characters explore cultural memory, hope, and trauma.
You can watch the panel here, as part of Fellow Traveller's #LudoNarraCon !
Demo of the sound management system in Erra: Exordium and Unity Audio Profiler module
Depending on the type of sound, the system searches for a free audio source in stacks and stops it after playing. If necessary, the stacks can be expanded
It's been a good couple of years since I tried to use #Unity for anything time-sensitive. But my experience with the #LDJam this weekend really brought home how slow the more recent versions are. It was absolutely infuriating and wasted a lot of time.
So! I'm not abandoning Unity but I think it's time to branch out and start learning other tools.
The obvious direction seems to be #Godot, but are there other engines I should be looking into?
For reference I like to make both 2d and 3d games, usually more management-style things than combat or action heavy. Not a massive fan of C# so if you'd recommend something that uses another language (I know that's the case with Godot) that's totally fine 😅
As #GB politics becomes more like #NI politics. (thanks to #Brexit)
You have seen the abundance of flags due to insecurity, the introduction of #voterid which we have had for quite sometime on this side of the #IrishSeaBorder & the introduction of the concept of 'themuns' Now you finally get to the stage of #TacticalVoting
Many of us in #NI have been voting this way for years - not who we want but who will get the other lot out!
Have a UN lodged peace agreement that states that NI is entitled to a vote on our future if and when the people of NI so wish.
Plus it is really isn't a generation away. Brexit seen to that!
Honestly, pay more attention to what is happening on island of Ireland in relation to #unity
Instead of using the tired old lines that are used by the English media about Scottish Independence. They really don't apply to the debate on Irish Unity.
Starting the long process of moving a prototype from #pico8 to #Unity😤
A sane person might begin by porting all the mechanics as soon as possible.
Me? I'm more concerned with making it fun to click the board😅
I might be the only person who works on strategy games as if they were platformers - by figuring out the "movement" first.
It's very important for me to get that right. I find it hard to assess a game if that kinetic feel of playing is completely missing.
I’ve got this one code library that I’ve had since I’ve had Unity, I have no clue how it works, it’s only half functional, and I would absolutely protect it with my life, it’s a precious baby to me. #indiedev#gamedev#unity#videogames#gaming

hope that one day #GB gets to the stage, where they are ready to debate #rejoining. I hope the younger generations get their opportunity to work & travel freely in the EU again. Businesses have their markets restored to them.
I just don't want #NI to be part of it anymore. Thanks to #Brexit - I have went from a contented #unionist to hopeful supporter of a United Ireland. #unity
this is about the right to self determine your future. Not to be dictated to by an Englishman or woman. It is an emotive issue for many like #Brexit was for so may #English people. When it actually comes to Scotland, Wales and NI, they actually did lose something.
Look at #Irelandsfuture the Civic organisation which has started the conversation on #unity. You will understand what is starting happen. Look on YouTube for their
