Fuck Unity (The game engine, not the concept)
Tumblr media
They want up to TWENTY CENTS per game install, once you reach a certain number of installs.
TWENTY CENTS
Just imagine, 100 people install your game and you suddenly owe Unity 20 fucking dollars. Chances are, you haven't even made that much in profits from 100 sales.
Tumblr media
It's time for unity to fucking die. How fucking dare they demand royalties from game devs for an engine THAT ISN'T EVEN FREE?
In case you don't know, here's a list of a few bigger games that use the Unity engine:
Hollow Knight
Rimworld
Subnautica
Pokemon Go
Cities: Skylines
Rust
Hearthstone
Pillars Of Eternity
Cuphead

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.

'let them say fuck' this 'let them swear' that
let them cry
let them sob in the shower
let them soak their friend's sleeve with tears
let them wake up with red eyes
let them laugh cry with their friends over a forgotten inside joke
let them cry while kissing their partner, finally finished with whatever hell they were going through

I love Rick Riordan. Do you have a disability? There’s probably a character for that. Are you a minority and/or lgbtq? There’s definitely a character for that. Sure, maybe it’s not all 100% accurate, but he’s TRYING and that means so, so much.

Getting back into the Magnus Chase books means that I get to remember the absolute beauty of Blitz and Hearth. Two lovely men who are rejected by their families for being different.
Blitzen is a brilliant artist who cannot survive in the sunlight, whereas Hearthstone is a talented rune mage who can’t survive in darkness. And yet, they are inseparable.
Hearth is known for not showing a significant amount of emotion, yet any time Blitz shows up after being separated from him, Hearth practically launches himself at the dwarf.
Blitz is unendingly protective over Hearth; always there to catch him when he feints, never missing a chance to defend the elf’s abilities.
They’re casually and non sexually intimate all the time. Whether they are queer platonic, romantic, or a secret third thing, they’re absolutely devoted to one another.
And I think that’s beautiful.

The first card I ever painted for Hearthstone is finally going to be released in the latest patch. :) It was originally intended for the music festival theme, hence the singing, but things get yoinked for balance.
I spent way too much time on it but hey, I was excited.

There’s just something about how Rick Riordan explores each of his characters’ past in the Magnus Chase books and how each character learns to deal with it. Magnus coming to terms with his mother’s death and honoring her with the love he feels for his friends. Biltzen’s honoring of his father by winning the crafting duel while following his passion. Mallory confronting the mother she felt abandoned by and how she feels about Frigg’s attempts to be a part of her life. Alex’s relationship with his grandfather and his craft that rejects everything his father stands for. Sam’s faith allowing her to find the strength to resist Loki. Hearthstone’s relationship with his brother and his brother’s love for him as the final rejection of his father’s abuse. Halfborn coming to terms with the home he never returned to. The history of slavery that continues to weigh on TJ, but that he triumphs by his pure existence whereas the confederates literally fade away.

Random scene that just popped up in my head,
Annabeth and the Argo 2 crew lost Percy in a crowd.
Piper: what are we going to do?
Annabeth: don't worry I got this.
Annabeth, screams at the top of her voice: BLUE IS THE UGLIEST COLOUR!!
Everyone: waits for Percy to show up.
Random person, screams back: HEL YEAH TELL THEM!!
Annabeth: Magnus?
Magnus: Annabeth? what are you doing here?
Annabeth: we were—
Percy: screaming from the distance, cutting her off, just screaming btw no context at all.
Percy, finally standing next to them: who the Hades just insulted blue?
Annabeth: it was me, I was trying to—
Magnus: I did it, are you implying that you are defending the ugliest colour in existence?
Percy, eyes narrowed: who's this gremlin?
Magnus: I'm nearly as tall as you, who are you calling gremlin you dimwit?
Percy: you better watch you mouth, pretty boy.
Annabeth: Percy, stop.
Magnus, also narrowing his eyes: or what, what would you do?
Percy: oh, you won't like the answer, sweetheart.
Magnus, taking a step closer to Annabeth: why are you calling me pet names? You alright, bro?
Percy, winks: oh honey, I'm perfectly fine.
Magnus: ok I'm scared, Annabeth tell your friend to stop.
Annabeth: Percy, stop flirting with my cousin!
Percy: I'm not flirting!
Magnus, speaking just before Annabeth: you know what, nice seeing you again Annabeth, I kinda have to go back to my group, hearth starts to worry when I'm late, see you around, I guess.
Poor boy just disappeares into the crowd again, traumatized probably.
Annabeth: sighs.
Percy: now before you say anything! I'll explain!!
Annabeth: Take your time. Explain.
Percy: so, yeah... umm....
Annabeth:
Percy:
Annabeth:
Percy:
Hazel, whispers in the background: what did I just witness...?
Leo, whispers back: I don't know, but the dude was cute though.
