Folks talking about Game Devs dropping Unity or how it won't hurt small indie devs with under 200,000. Are missing the point.

Some of these Unity games can't change to another engine because they have years of code piled on top of each other at this point. aka POKEMON GO. They'd basically have to rebuild the game from scratch.

Not to mention Unity is mostly used by phone app games or Indie's that are lucky enough to get picked up by console. Indie games on Mobile easily pass 200,000 downloads. Temple Run 1 and 2 are in Unity, Crossy Road, Angry birds 1 and 2, and Hearthstone. All of these past 200,000 downloads years ago but aren't bringing in money now except hearthstone.

The Developers will do what happened to the first Angry birds app. They'll take it down, build it in a new engine for "HD", and add a shit ton of micro transactions. We are about to lose countless original versions of the OG pre lootbox mobile games.

We are also about to lose some of the biggest Indie games of the last decade. Among Us, Plague Inc., 7 Days to die, the original Slenderman game and it's sequel, I am Bread, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dream Daddy, Overcooked 1 & 2, Pathfinder online, Cup Head, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Oxygen Not Included, Bloons Tower Defense 6, Beat Saber, Subnautica, The Stanley Parable, Untitled Goose Game, Power Washing Simulator, Fall Guys, Inscryption, Phasmophobia

And the big one FUCKING HOLLOW KNIGHT. Silk song has already been pushed back out of this year specifically because it's being made by a team of like 3 people. It is so close to being finished and now they are being told they have to start over from scratch basically. Hollow Knight got over 200,000 downloads from being on playstation and was eventually put on Playstations subscription service. Every cent they made from hollow knight has gone back into making silk song. Which might now be delayed by multiple years and oh they are going to have to use some of that funds to pay unity now. Or find a way to get out of a contract with playstation. Because folks will keep downloading Hollow Knight for free and Unity will send the Hollow Knight team the bill.

oh and there's one more teeny tiny game made in Unity that you guys might not want to suddenly disappear. One with almost 3 years of monthly code updates, one with 139 million downloads to date, and 4.8 million monthly users.

Genshin. Guys Genshin Impact is made completely in Unity and that's not a game that can have it's code just copy and pasted to another engine.

I was in a warehouse and found a magic sewing machine that could make a piece of clothing instantly, you just had to give it pieces of fabric, but you couldn't choose what it would be and one of the sleeves/pant legs would always be wrong.

I'll never get enough of those plots where characters are trapped inside their own minds, whether it's their worst nightmare or an idyllic (ever so slightly off) fantasy, and the others have to figure out how to wake them up ❤️ It's always so fun to see how their subconscious works against them

Teaching Dream about the internet may have been a mistake

“I wanna kiss her. I want to touch her”

Maybe you already have.

getting into the sentient ai fandom and noticing a parallel in the slasher fandom: fans put a mix interacting together and its kinda funny ngl (on both accounts)

oh look they're at the same park

I don’t have a posted DNI for a few reasons but in this case I’ll be crystal clear:

I do not want people who use AI in their whump writing (generating scenarios, generating story text, etc.) to follow me or interact with my posts. I also do not consent to any of my writing, posts, or reblogs being used as inputs or data for AI.

Absolutely in love with how fucked up the concept of recovery centers are in BFDI.

Thinking about how in the 1st season, there were barely any recovery centers, but by TPOT, there’s a giant recovery center that will conveniently recover anyone & everyone in seconds.

Thinking about how in BFDI 2, Leafy is absolutely distraught about accidentally killing Ice Cube. Cut to TPOT 14, where the contestants are completely okay with killing, to the point that entire teams will die at a time.

Thinking about how since the normalization of recovery center, the characters are now basically immortal, & are completely numb to the concept of death. They kill off left & right because they KNOW that their friends are coming back.

Because now that the contestants have grown used to recovery centers, they’ve started to take them for granted. It’s only been about a decade, but the challenges have grown so dependent on the recovery centers, that it’s impossible to finish an episode without seeing at least 5 characters die in some way.

I went to a vending machine, put a quarter in and I got two tiny glass pigs the size of Tic Tacs. Also, Strong Bad said I should get tiny police caps for them.
