Got a bit of time to add a bit of post-processing to my little car battle game. Is it too much?

Hi Folks, Good progress on my Unity Race Timing Asset this week. New sample UIs (6/6): Different gap modes for the timing tower:

- Gap on Track → Who is in front?
- Gap to Leader → Race Positions
- Gap to Fastest Lap → Qualifying

Some progress on my Unity race timing asset. I've added tracking of best laps and sectors and enhanced the demo to show toast notifications when a new PB or Race PB is broken. If you have any requirements let me know! #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #buildinpublic

I'm making my Unity race timing asset as plug-and-play as possible. Quick Start Wizard → working lap times & leaderboard in under 3 mins. What features would make this useful for your project? #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

If you are developing a racing game, timing can be a bit of a pain. I'm hoping to make a Unity Asset to help with that. Here it is lap timing 3 cars. I aim to make it as easy as possible to add to your game. Let me know what you would need! #gamedev #indiedev

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.
