Author here, thanks for your comment. I am glad to hear that things are progressing! Can you share how large is the team responsible for .NET Modernization? > migrating legacy nati…

Re serialization: We have custom binary serialization that essentially dumps the game state into a binary stream. No allocations, no copies, no conversions. Our saves can be big, >…

Sure, we could use Burst to speed up some strategic parts, but that would not help with the core of the game. To give some context, things are very complex in our game, we have ful…

> Going to completely disagree that Burst and HPC# are unnecessary and messy. Making a managed code burst-compatible comes with real constraints that go beyond "write performant C#…

> You can also install new DLLs and force the player to restart if you want downloadable mod support. I am not aware of an easy way to load (managed) mods as DLLs to IL2CPP-compile…

Author here, thanks for your perspective. Here some thoughts: > approach of separating the simulation and presentation layers isn't all that uncommon I agree that some level of sep…

From my experience, performance gains seen in Debug builds in Unity/C#/Mono nearly always translate in gains in Release mode. I know that this is not always true, but in this conte…

Official support for animations, yes! This feels so nostalgic to me, I have written an L-system generator with support for exporting animated PNGs 11 years ago! They were working o…

Three years ago I posted here about Captain of Industry, a simulation game that me and co-founder are making and there was quite a bit of interest so I wanted to post a short updat…

I see, integrating image inputs can be very challenging in this case as the models work with text input. I was not even thinking about the full isometric image, but just some simpl…

This is awesome! I like the idea of abstracting the factory building with a code-like structure. I wonder if supplemental 2D image (mini-map style) as an input to the policy would …

Why did this post disappear from the front page? I understand that this is now a heated topic, but I think it is good for people to know about things like this.

This is not about "unwilling to pay for quality tools", but completely changing the way they charge for the tools, which gets applied to all legacy software that ever used their to…

The first comment of this FAQ thread is also talking about this. https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-plan-pricing-and-packa... The FAQ is worth reading on its own (and very hard …

Or Captain of Industry (disclaimer: I am one of the devs)

Here is a recent podcast episode about this incident that I enjoyed, incl. interview with the man: https://thisiscriminal.com/episode-206-novak-v-city-of-parma...

Exactly! The message was like 3x longer, I wonder what is the limit?

I do the same as KMnO4 and I think I have never received an email to a random address that I haven't shared before. Currently the biggest volume of spam is coming to adobe@ and git…

Game dev here. The reason is simple - performance. Unlike Java, C# has zero-overhead structs (custom primitive types if you will), so say a Vector3f is just 3 floats in memory, 12 …
