me, last year: hm unity keeps shooting itself in the foot in increasingly dramatic ways. i think i'll get off this train by building my own game engine
me, earlier this year: hm actually building my own engine is hard, and unity seems to be calming down a bit. i think i'll get back on the unity train

lmao when you started posting about Monogame put the thought in my head, then like a couple months ago I figured well maybe it's time, idk
me, today:
They said I was crazy for building my own tech stack, but look who's laughing now!! (It's them.)
any idea how is this going to affect Snake Farm? suddenly the prospect of going viral seems like a bad thing
no idea! best case scenario, this is something that only applies to newer versions of unity. long as i never upgrade, i'm safe. worst case scenario, that's $0.20 shaved off every sale. taking into account payment processor fees, returns, and steam's 30% cut, that leaves me with... like a dollar per sale of a three-dollar game?
did you make a lot of progress moving goat game over to unity? Or is that still mostly in starlight engine right now?
yeah, i've kinda spent all my spare dev time since april porting it back to unity, and now part of my tech stack kinda requires it! i'm up shit creek here!
Wowzers just read the news, player install fees?! And they are monthly?! That's gonna be like 15k-40k a month even at lowest levels, well there goes the Unity indie market.
I suggest checking out Godot, not as many bells and whistles but since it's open source pretty much guaranteed this will never happen at least
