I’ve been so overjoyed that I haven’t had the time to post or really process all the love and positivity around our Early Access release. Couldn’t be more proud of our team, and excited to continue building what comes next. Thank you all for the support that has led to this moment! 🫶
Over 1 million Subnauts have already dived into Subnautica 2 🤯 We can't thank you enough for your support!

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Four years ago I wrote about OpenUSD, and looked into what it would take for it to succeed, because I'd like to see it succeed: rystorm.com/blog/i-would... The problem is that not much has changed in the meantime. I can still link this exact same article whenever anyone asks why USD isn't used more

The Unity Shaders Bible will be updated again this month. The book will reach around 180/400 pages. If you want me to include specific topics, leave them in the comments. By the way, its price might increase a bit 🔗 jettelly.com/store/the-un... #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity
They didn't even give the team a chance to respond to player feedback. This industry is in a really bad place. My heart goes out to all of the affected developers :(
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post "Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today. This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."

This feels like the texturing version of spinning around my model. Playing with carve groups in @marmoset3d.bsky.social to get grey metalness values through intermediate oxidation.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.
