So a friend pointed out a thing and a fix about the dev video I just posted, and I had so much fun goofing around with it that it became a whole Patreon post heh. https://www.patreon.com/posts/112454596
(it'll kick over to being free in a few weeks, just pop back then if you're not a backer)

So it's the 3 year anniversary of SkateBIRD!
No, it's not on sale, no new DLC or anything. I just think it's neat that it's we did the thing and, now it's out there, living its best life. 🥹

HAH. Gods, #Unity3D is shameless.
So removing the Runtime Fee, great, right?
Except they're using that press as cover for an 8% increase on Unity Pro costs, and a fuckin 25% increase on Unity Enterprise.
(and remember, they forced most folks onto Pro tier, few #GameDev types can operate on Free tier)

Fuck it, might as well post next-game concept art.

It's kinda eh, EDF'y / Dynasty Warriors'y by way of DMC.

there's also HammUEr, which I think carries over more stuff. I wanna say it'll let you place lights, possibly even actors? via Trenchbroom, and have that all just populate correctly on Unreal side.
Results may not be useful, depending on how much you're doing literal graybox VS level design, but— it's really cool!
EDIT: oh right! Also materials and decals.
EDIT2: I think the other cool thing is it keeps your meshes separate, so you don't have to work with one HUGE chunk. Like you can make yourself a bench over in Trenchbroom and place it in the level, pull into Unreal via HammUEr, and then you've got a separate bench mesh too you can instance around as you like.

not GAME store page. I mean Developer page.
It's what comes up when someone clicks your name in the developer or publisher field.
If you haven't defined one, best case, it just pulls up a list of all games associated with that name. But notably won't let you follow that dev.
Worst case, it pulls up the PUBLISHER'S page when someone hits your studio name, and nobody even realizes you're a separate entity.

If you're a gamedev releasing on Steam: PLEASE MAKE A DEVELOPER PAGE
You are literally leaving community on the floor when you launch a game without one, players can't follow you on Steam without that page being defined
I'm even seeing PUBLISHERS forget to make one
Please, just do the needful 😭

Y'all
Tactical Breach Wizards is
REALLY
good.
Even the writing! Wasn't expecting a really great story with fun characters.
Also they threaded the "make a game about cops even though ACAB also applies" needle surprisingly well. #Gaming #GamingNews
