Fair point. We have tentacles in the title/name, so thought we could get away with the mysterious overall tone in v3.

And apart from the Lovecraftian feel, which one do you like more?
We're experimenting with Steam capsule for our Lovecraftian naval horror action game. Would love to hear your thoughts. Which one do you prefer and why?

For sure, we have kept that point in mind from the get go. Thanks for the tip though! 🙌
Ow, it’s great to get that from you! Being a master story-teller yourself, what is your gut feeling on intersection of Lovecraft with Polynesia?
[WIP] The Port, player's central hub in Madness Afloat, is slowly coming to life. Most of the core functionality is already there, the ambiance will get better over upcoming weeks.

This is beautiful! Wasn't aware of this gem. 😍
Messenger? Haven’t heard of that game 🤔
Looks damn cool. What was the initial intention? Just experimenting?
Yeah, that's where "Mu" (the mythical lost continent) is believed to be located, the source of the lost/dangerous knowledge. 🧐
I've been silent for quite a while. Will try to start sharing stuff from the game we're working on. It's a #lovecraftian naval action game, where events are taking place in #Polynesia.

Attached is a character from the game (WIP), along with concept art for him.

Fair point, but still seemingly it's going from bad to worse, I tried to play it today and it's way worse than it was a couple days ago:
- Players (including myself) falling through the ground
- All the players becoming invisible
- Players being stuck in a state

These don't seem to be load related.
They've done a couple betas before the release and were aware of potential player-base (considering the hype, the wishlists, etc.) I believe. But still 🤷‍♂️

What happens next in such games? They fix the issues and the trend reverses its way back up?
So what's going on with Rematch? I played the Beta and loved it. Have tried it through Game Pass, matchmaking and networking issues were a bit too much to enjoy it, so I decided to patiently wait for it to stabilize.

Is this trend a common thing for game-as-a-service?
Can anyone direct me to a producer at @annapurna.com and @doubledaggerstudio.bsky.social ? We have an upcoming animation festival themed around cats and we'd love to display cat themed games there.

Any other cat themed game developers are welcome too, btw.
Has anyone used "Unity Professional Training"? How good is it? Who is the target audience? Is it meant mainly to onboard amateurs or skill-up professionals (to new features/systems/applications)?

#unity #unityprofessionaltraining
Been there, done that. I've been working 100 hour weeks (myself, not the team) for 3-4 years, without a single day of vacation now. It's been a huge damn boost professionally, but on relationship front it's beyond terrible. I mainly want to spend a lot more time with my spouse.
It seems like even @unity.com can't decide whether to use uGUI or UI Elements, when you look into new packages, samples are a combination of the 2.

Terminators (in the movie) are just like AIs in Age of Empires 2, once they set on a target, they disregard all other characters on the way to it.
Looks gorgeous! Will give it a try.
