Making a game is art. It’s like an extension of you. I really think it’s one of the most vulnerable things a person can do. You tear off a piece of yourself, hold it up to the world and say, “Here’s what I love, and I hope you love it too”.
Takes balls. Keep it up, indies! ❤️

We are excited to announce the experimental release of the UI Toolkit Connector for Figma (com.unity.ui.figma 0.1.0-exp.1) 🎨✨
Bridge the gap between Figma and the Unity Editor: turn Figma frames into real, editable UXML and sync the updates you choose back.

"Normcore is already the easiest multiplayer platform we've used, but with the new Offline Mode, quality of life has exploded. We can now iterate on new features faster than ever and minimize the code for initializing players across game modes." - @94Interactive

Unity CEO John Riccitiello was EA CEO when FIFA 09 launched with loot boxes. Last year he said devs making games without monetization in mind are “fucking idiots.” In an EA stockholder meeting he entertained the idea of charging $1 to reload an ammo clip in Battlefield.
NEW - I got a major update from Unity about their new fees
- Unity "regrouped" and now says ONLY the initial installation of a game triggers a fee
- Demos mostly won't trigger fees
- Devs not on the hook for Game Pass

What if I sell the project files instead of the runtime and players run the game in the editor

We only succeed when you succeed. Our 5% royalty model only kicks in after your first $1M in gross revenue, meaning that if you make $1,000,001 you owe us 5 cents. And this is per title!
Also, revenue generated from the Epic Games Store will be excluded from that 5% royalty.
