Currently, there is a lot of discussion about Unity's Runtime Fee. What do you think about it?


On to my own opinion:

As a hobby game developer with only free games, I'm not impacted by these changes, but for other indie titles/studios this can be dangerous. It's a real shame for those who put in a lot of effort and now betray the engine. I understand that many people are upset by those changes and going to swap to alternatives.

I mean the engine is pretty great overall and I love to work with it and create games. It has clear ui, an intuitive game making process and a lot of possibilities.

However, one thing always bothered me about Unity: it's not open source and thus you don't have control over everything.


And this lead me to a decision:

I'm going to start with something new and focus on other stuff. I'm currently working with microcontrollers, learning guitar and drawing...


What this means to this account?

Well, I probably won't be active anymore. My games will still be available for you to play and maybe I'll take a look at this place once in a while, but that's it!

If I ever get back to game development, I will create my own engine or use Godot.


That's it!

Cheers, Donut Studio

Say no more!

I've finally added mobile controls. It took a ton of work to redo the input system, but now I can just export the game for android and everything should work

Working on the endings. You'll have to find them out yourself. The build (and mobile version) will be uploaded asap... show some patience xD

Damn,

if this ain't spectacular, I don't know what is. The game has six different languages to select.

Special thanks to @FriendlyFrenchyFoxOff for translating. Be sure to check out his account. He rocks!

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Are you working on a game?

Making some art?

Practicing a song?

Something else?

Working hard on the game, so you can play it (hopefully this month).

I think it might not be that scary, but good enough for my first #Horror game

Working on the hunting AI. I'm using the nodes in the apartment and chances to let #Hayamichan choose a new destination...

Useful c# script is in the article!

Yes, I'm still alive!

AND I've finally fixed major bugs in the game. The new release should be out soon!
