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

Can you guess what this could be?

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

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
