NEW: Unity is automatically opting Asset Store creators into supporting its generative AI platform, Unity Spark, via a process called 'itemisation.' One dev told me the process should be "opt-in instead of opt-out" and said they are firmly against genAI. www.verticalslice.news/unity-opting...

I got bored of the classic orthographically-projected-normal-particles-on-water-surface approach and started looking into more "realistic" approaches 👀 This is just a test with gizmos, once I get that set up with shaders and render passes I promise I won't be neither chill nor normal about it

Are you a game dev who has an OPINION on Unity Spark/Google Playground, the new genAI tech that apparently lets you build a video game by simply "describing it through a few prompts." I would be keen to hear your thoughts if you want send them over via email (chris.kerr@verticalslice.news) or DM.

Finally had some time to finish a big desired feature. a wake system, had this figured out ever since #thefalconeer, but never got around to it. Basically a top down render, drawing out the ship's profile,. then using that 2000s ripple javascript effect basically to displace the ocean #gamedev

"Bad" writing has a special place in my heart. I get so much joy from figuring out how all the wonky pieces could fit, how the cracks could be patched. I love being able to pinpoint the place it all went wrong, where theme and story collide instead of elevating eachother...

4 June

I have been learning so much by observing what's missing. I've witnessed stories be starved of poetry by thesaurus-wielding writers. Lessons and tidbits get hammered into the audience by insecure authors, terrified of being misunderstood or misinterpreted...

4 June

... But of course, I keep some wonderful writing in my diet as well ! If stories are puzzles (which they are, at least to me,) then the joy in a great story lies in finding out what shape the pieces even are, because great authors manage to make the joints themselves disappear. (I love stories.)
