A commodity trader that made his money on tariff free old empire commodities, before we joined the EU, which put tariffs on them....

Let that sink in.

He's more transparent than air.

I'm impressed they even got to the prototype stage, imagine, that's a real machine.

Relate.

For about a year it was plain and boring, I was burnt out on net code and decided I wanted to wrestle with IMGUI.

I use bunch of custom inspectors and context menus too. They are super helpful!

I have my own custom window base class all the other windows inherit to get the same style.

Always coffee. Always. 😉

So do I! We make our editor work for us 💪

Gonna start doing dev streams again soon.

I has spent all day setting up a new stream layout.

Theme, retro sci-fi cyberpunk mash up. OBS and StreamerBot is nuts these days.

I know, unashamedly edgy.

Unity Tip.

The search bar is pretty handy.

Did you know you can search by component type?

In the Hierarchy search bar, type t:Light or t:Rigidbody to quickly find all objects of that type.

This works even for your own components!

I think the word centrist has been hijacked.

Phew. 😅

Unity Tip.

If you're a dinosaur like me and use UGUI don't just have one canvas for everything.

Unity will dirty and redraw the whole canvas even elements that didn't change.

Performance cries.

Use multiple and parent them to your own UI controller logic.

It's hilarious, honestly.

"I don't like immigrants"

Becomes an immigrant.

Priceless.

Urgh how dare they hijack our Union Jack flag.

It's meant to symbolise a country of unification without prejudice, of multiculturalism and sharing the cause of acceptance and respecting each other's beliefs and opinions.

That's why I'm proud to be British, that's what being British is to me.

I'll fly the Jack because I'm proud of our countries acceptance and inclusion, which is more historic than people realise.

The United Kingdom is built on unification without prejudice where everyone has the chance to become part of the fabric of our nation.

That's why I'm proud to be British.

Unity Tip.

If you want some organization without cracking open a whole custom editor, use Header and Space attributes to organise how the inspector displays your fields.

[Header("Motion")]
public float Speed;

[Space(10)]

[Header("Combat")]
public int Damage;

Part of being a good developer is to know your limits, when you do you will know how to push them higher.

Monuments are built from the ground up.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

#indiedev 's I believe in you! 💪

I'm not saying anything...

#indiedev 's I'm looking at you.... And me.

I try, dammit.

Unity Tip.

Don't use GameObject.Find()

Ain't nobody got time for that...

Seriously, there's no reason for you to be using that unless your a masochist.

Sometimes it doesn't even get that far off the ground. 😅

Unity Tip.

Use [SerializeField] on private fields instead of making them public.

This exposes them in the inspector whilst still keeping them private.

I often use this to see what my cheeky private fields are up to while testing functionality.

Someone using AI might though 😉

100% agree, I mean we can look back in time and say, something has been capitalized on. Nearly everything we come to love, has been.

Films, music, games, art, the internet, abstraction and democratization of industry skill sets and tooling...

Pretty sure there is more to that, than just money 😉

It's a tool, it requires context, most dev's who use AI have instructions set up to help them with their work flow/pipeline, some times several sets for different jobs that includes source files for it to reference as well. AI still needs input, the quality of the output directly correlates to that.

Unity Tip.

Instead of constantly spawning/destroying bullets, particles, or enemies like a slightly unhinged demolition contractor.

create a reusable pool of objects at startup. Just activate/deactivate them as needed.
