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

I'd love to see your lets plays too, so definitely give it a try and share it with me!

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

Yeah, I've built myself a controller and it's so awesome! Just add a few buttons, two joysticks, a microchip and of course some rgb leds. That makes the build complete!

Check out the link to build yourself one too!

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

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!

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

The animations are working!

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

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Yes, I'm still alive!

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