I have been following Oblivion remaster rumors for years and this is the first time I actually believe them.

It's gonna come soon, you'll see!

They are doing such an amazing service for the German #gamesindustry as they give everybody an amazing negotiation lever.
At the same time this is really good #marketing for them as their salaries tend to be higher than at other german games companies.

I finally played Thomas Was Alone. Took me just a bit over a decade, but I finally caught up.

Damn what a masterpiece in #narrativedesign. The levels were absolutely awesome as well, but the #writing is simply an amazing case study.

I just finished Minami Lane and it is the perfect game to take a short break from the world falling apart around us.

Minami Lane is a short and cute "city builder" in which you build up small street and try to fulfil its residents needs. Really cute, fantastic art style and really well executed.

I have nothing but utmost admiration for the restraint Zelenskyy showed during whatever the hell that was.

I often wonder how the games industry will look like in 5-10 years when these people will be missing from a recovering industry. Where do game studios think they will find experienced people when they have turned to other fields?

I am incredibly sorry for everyone of WB affected by the layoffs. I cannot stop thinking about how this will affect the industry long-term. We are losing some great talent indefinitely as some people will switch to different industries.

Just playing devil's advocat here. I wished more products would implement more forgiving systems.

I bet companies like Duolingo have data on this that suggests, that the streak system we see everywhere is more effective.

I completely agree with you, I am just assuming that losing some people entirely when their streak is broken, is a price worth paying for how many people stay hooked in return.

What are some good resources to learn more about script structures for Unity?

I feel like over time my projects always become a bit messy because of how much every script has to call methods or get components from other scripts.

I'll play around with acceleration curves and general juice later. First of all I wanna get the logic going. πŸ™‚
But yeah I think this game needs all the juice it can get

I recently played through Nodebuster and I can wholeheartedly recommend it!
Great progression, fantastic soundtrack, fun visuals.
It is the embodiment of juice.

Really shows you how much you can polish a simple mechanic.

What do you think about this movement tutorial?
Also how minimalistic can a game be?

I also pointed out that Elon and Trump basically had the same personality around 2014 and I got so much shit for that

Does this reference a situation I missed? Not defending the usage or anything of course. Just wondering if someone used the word on a big stage or something.

Thank you! ❀️
I assume it is pretty similar, but possible even better here because of how feeds work and how organized the game dev community seems to be. πŸ™‚
