Unity is my game

Once upon a time I was teaching high schoolers Unity/C#. Noisy boy asked me if it was possible to create a robot in C#.

I told him to take printer, take it apart and turn it upside down in the way that printing drum would touch the ground, and then to put a laptop with his C# program on top of it.

When the program will launch, printer will try to print and the whole thing will roll slowly. Isn’t that a robot? You just need to think wider and define what robot is at first.

He was lost in thoughts and completely silent to the end of the lecture.

After one year of procrastination I finally made the game with unity

Ladies and gentleman, spherical voronoi minesweeper

Yes, I made the game before with in c++ which looks quite shitty, but finally, unity

interviewer: What can you tell us about the Unity 3D engine?

me: well, i can tell you that there is no such thing. the engine is called Unity. Unity3d.com is just the website. it's a good way of telling if someone doesn't know what they are talking about.

interviewer:😐....

Unity crashed, and then the crash reporter crashed. Well done Unity!

I love making little scenes.

Good job Unity

*starts Unity 2D project*
*puts sprite right in the middle of the camera*
*nothing shows up*
*deletes Unity 2D project*
fml

A game being built in Godot engine..

So much better than unity 3d

I only subscribed to unity pro...

...for Night mode...

Making those Unity cubes more attractive

My first markerless ar in development!
Built from scratch, with unity webcam apis!

So unity got hacked…

GOD DAMNIT UNITY
I Run my project once, it works
I run it again with no changes it doesn't work
THE FUCK
I HAVE A INVESTOR MEETING IN 2 DAYS, I NEED YOU TO EITHER WORK OR GO SUCK ON 3D RENDERER COCK IF IT DECIDES TO ACTUALLY RENDER
FUCK. YOU.

A guy wanted me to convert his Unity project from Android to ios.

He was offering less than 50$....

It dosent end here....

He sent me the files in a zip on Google Drive.....

Also the project size was around 3 gb......

😢😢

!rant

I'll start my new job as a Unity dev tomorrow! 🎉
Wish me luck ;)

Loneliness is when you implement a compute shader in Unity to render real, user-defined fisheye in RT, and you have no one to share your excitement with.

3 people for developing the prototype including me.

One person knows unity. He started modeling the terrain in that.

Another person knows 3D modelling. He started designing the bots.

I don't know unity or C#. I started implementing the logic :/

It was the worst experience but learned shitloads from it in 2 days.

Been using Ubuntu for only like two months now but yesterday I discovered GNOME. So much better than Unity.

My reaction when I installed it:

Ubuntu's default desktop environment will be Gnome from version 18.04. They will finally abandon bloated unity.

Wtf Unity...

Woohoo! I fixed a huge memory leak in our app! ... In one class.

Time for noise cancelling head phones, 80s hacker music, tons of caffeine, and more leak hunting. :)

My first Udemy course!
Excited!

Thank you Unity, very cool

I met my old school friends today. One of them was apparently showing off his programming skills too much(let's call him X). So much that he(friend X) was comparing Linus Torvalds with himself. And he was telling us that Linux is best because there are so many DEs and customisations and blah blah.

So one of my other friend Y(who's not into computers much) asked him to install Ubuntu on his laptop while we were sitting in cafe.(Y wants to play with command line mainly this semester according to him) So he started complaining that he does not have ISO with him and trying to avoid it.

I said I have kubuntu iso he can flash it right away. Then he(X) said "Kubuntu is too complex for him(Y)".(me in mind : " yeah, just because its a. DE, it becomes complex") So I searched in my phone (faked the search, basically renamed kubuntu iso to Ubuntu iso lol) and gave him " Ubuntu " iso

And this "pro developer" installed that on his laptop and after installation was completed he said that "OMG DUUUDE UNITY IS DEAD, EVEN UBUNTU SWITCHED TO KDE AS DEFAULT DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT, ITS COOL".

FFS

Cracking open Unity for the first time, tonight after the daughter goes to bed, for an augmented reality project.

Cheers! 🍺

The DE life cycle of every Linux hobbyist:

1. Let's work with Unity.... it's so blah
2. Let's check out XFCE.... it does its job, but it needs more zing
3. Let's check out KDE...aah, my poor battery.
4. Let's check out LXDE.... Can you be any more boring?
5. Let's check out Pantheon.... This is perfect, but I'm tired of using a tweak tool to even enable minimize and maximize
6. Let's go to Gnome 3...Ah never mind
7. Let's go to Cinnamon... Blurgh, It reminds me of Windows
8. Let's go to MATE....Hmm, Mutiny layout?!! It reminds me of Unity. Wonder if Unity 8 has made any progress!
9. Go back to Step 1.

So I've taken the first steps into mobile development this past week, I attached two joysticks to a basic unity app to check if touch input was working and I guess I never got around to uninstalling it. so I go to school and finish some class work early and decide, why not check and see what it would take to get my current main Alpha project working. I open my unity folder and see Joystick_Test and someone walking by asks "what's that?" To which I reply tapping on the app "it's a touch screen test, to see if the phone can detect me touching the screen and dragging my fingers. I hand him the phone and he asks why nothing is happening which I respond with "it's just an input test, it's not ment to be anything fancy I just need to program the joysticks and the scripts are still in development" and he hands the phone back and says "your lazy as shit. I can make the controls work in under a minute" and he walks away. It's lunch now and I manage to catch him in the library. I open Unity, and Mono-develop and call him over. I get out of my seat and say "program the left joystick to move around. I'll give you a hint, vector3". He sits in the chair and stares at the screen for a solid minute until I see him type
Console.writeline("hello world");
And he said it would work and just walked away.

Getting the Unity editor to crash less than 15 times a day.

Focus: C#
Why: Because Unity makes me use C#

Unity3D Game Dev Interview

Interviewer: What is reflection and why would you use it?

Me: Gives overview of system and how I've used it in games before.

Interviewer: Sorry that was a trick question, Reflection is really dangerous and slow. You need to go back and learn the basics.

Me: ???...

A huge portion of Unity is built upon Reflection based systems, the entire Monobehaviour base relies on it. Their events system uses it, animation and timeline. I guess their team needs to go back to the drawing board.

How is this person a senior dev?

OK< been a long time user of Unity.

Tried the latest update as I and others were enthusiastic about creating a joint project of gamers and developers.

As I was building up a started website and we were getting things with Unity ready...BOOM,. They Fuck up the installs.

Not just a minor thing here or there but not finding its own Fucking file locations where it installs shit. You try and say, Hey Unity you fucking twat, install here in this folder.

Boom again, it installs part of it there, and then continues installing shit everywhere else it wants to. Then the assholes at Unity give this Bullshit claim "the bug has been fixed."

Just reinstall.

Fuck you, its never that simple, You have to delete all sorts of fucking files to make sure conflicts from a previous corruption isn't just loaded on top of so it does not fuck up later.

So we did all that from programs, program data, program(x86), AppData Local, Local Low, and Roaming.

For added measure we manually removed all the crap from the registry folders (that was a pain but necessary), and then ran a cleaner to make sure all the left over shit was gone.

Thinking, OK you shit tech MoFo's we are clean and here we go.

HOLY SHIT BALLS, Its fucking worse with the LTS version it recommends and Slow as Fuck with their most recent version which is like 2020 itself, and insane piece of fucking bloated garbage and slower than a brick hard shit without fruit.

So we were going to all go post on the forums, and complain the fix section isn't fixed for shit.

Fuck us running backwards naked through a field of razor grass. Its so overloaded with complaints that they shut down further posts.

What makes this shit worse is we cannot even get the previous fucking versions of the editor before all this to work where our only option is without using the fucking Hub demand is just install 2018.

great if we started coding and testing in that. We cannot get shit where we were at back on track because you cannot fucking backward load an exported saved asset file.

Unity's suggestion? Start over.

Our Suggestion? Stop fucking smoking or using whatever fucking drug you assholes are on, you fucking disabled the gear options so we can resolve shit ourselves, and admit you did that shit and other sneaky piece of shit back stabby, security vulnerable data leak bullshit things to your end users.

Listen to your fucking experienced and long time users and get rid of the Fucking backward stepped hub piece of shit everyone with more brains than whatever piss ant pieces of shit praised that the rest of us have hated from day fucking one!

And while fixing this shit like it should be fucking fixed if you shit head bastards want to continue to exist as a fucking company, overhaul the fucking website or get the fuck out of business with now completely worthless SHIT.

Phew:
Suffice it to say....

We are now considering dealing with the learning curve and post pone our project going with unreal just because of these all around complete fuck ups that herald back to shit games of versions 3.0 and earlier.

Downloaded Unity today, let the journey begin🌝

Git: "so what'd you want to commit?"
Unity: "just fuck me up"
Git: "got you covered"

One of the amazing things you can do with Unity.
Seems legit.

While working in Unity i caught this "action" shot of a ragdoll chicken.. Then i couldn't resist...

I'm learning Unity! I don't have a lot of experience with C# or game development but it's fairly simple and super interesting so far so I'm excited!
!Rant, just excited :)

Unity continues to hold dark theme hostage for paid license.

You monsters!!!

Switched from unity to mint and feeling more motivated somehow?? Either way 😍😍

Me: Return data from Firebase into unity project

Firebase: Returns data as object

*Type casting fails for 6hrs*

Finally find the reason Data return type is int64 and I was saving as int32

Now I sit and question my life while listening to epic music

Upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04. GNOME is so much better than Unity!

I fucking HATE when people tell me:
"Oh you are using Unity? What kind of dumb shit uses Unity! Isnt its only purpose to make shovelware and shit?!"
THIS MAKES ME FURIOS AT MOST POINTS! AND I WANT TO PUNCH THOSE DIPWIT COCKS WHO ALWAYS THINK ANYTHING OTHER THAN UNITY IS GOOD, IN THE FUCKING FACE! TWICE!
unity isnt just for SHOVELWARE and CHEAP SHITGAMES, it has some really good potential when in the RIGHT FUCKING HANDS!! FOR FUCK SAKE!
(If you want an example look up dronethegame.com currently in crowdfunding) FUCK THESE PEOPLE...

FUCK

Unity: Fam you have errors.
VisualStudio: Nah fam you're all good.
U: You can't build until you fix your errors.
V: What errors lol
Me:

Unity is trying to communicate with aliens

Hey, Unity!

I love you and how your bug system works, but can you polish your errors?
I don't have any experience in programming and I am only a level designer.
I have no idea what this error meant so I begged to my boss crying that this FATAL error popped up.
Then my boss comforted me with pizza and coke.
I just realized that my boss is better than Unity.

I'm sorry, Unity. I was just about to buy the Unity license, but I changed my mind to just use the [personal edition and hack the dark theme by hex edit.

Best regards,
cozyplanes

(* This is a real e-mail sent to Unity Help Center *)

Was looking for some documentation, Unity needs to chill out.

What? ...

AHH! There's so many cool things to program and so many ideas! not enough time to learn. Right now I'm trying to create my first mobile game in Unity using C# and a note taking app for Android with Java, it's melting my head!

I've been learning c# over the last week or so for a unity project and I LOVE IT.
Its so nice :)

Just when I finally get in mood to actually do something productive.
Y u do this unity :(

NEVER take a shot of vodka every time Unity (on Mac) crashes...
You'll end up way beyond drunk before 12am

!multirant

1. MonoDevelop

Installed Unity for a game I'm working on. Realized I didn't reinstall VS when my SSD got corrupted. Didn't install VS plugin w/ Unity.

So now I have MonoDevelop. It's not a bad editor, but PLEASE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT A FUNCTION WITH RED BECAUSE IT DOESNT EXIST IN THE CLASS, THEN TELL ME, WHAT THE FUCK EXISTS IN THE CLASS!

2. UnityJS

Unity's JS implementation is terrible.

First, let's throw basic syntax shit out on the window. string.toUpperCase? Nah, let's make it string.ToUpperCase to annoy the shit out of devs.

AND SOME OF THE STANDARD FUNCTIONS ARENT EVEN FUCKING WORKING!

Need to use parseInt(string, 2)? WELL GO FUCK YOURSELF, BECAUSE WE DIDNT IMPLEMENT THAT SHIT.

...or use C# I guess...

FUCK UNITY.
🖕🖕🖕

Me searching on the internet how to fix my error. After a long time of searching with no results...I searched for:
"unity draw a fucking line in UI"
Google: How about this website? (second search result was devrant com)
And that's the story of how I got here.

I'm making an educational game for a school project.

What I thought I had to do:
Write complex code
Learn to animate
Make all resources by myself

What i do:
Drag and drop stuff into unity.
Moving arrows around.
Watch tutorials.

Im 3 weeks ahead of my planing... After 6 days.

No wonder there are so many 3rd class unity games

Was searching for an ass...et. Didn't expect that 😂. (from unity assets store on mobile)

Really? Is this the Ubuntu Unity logo? Tech journalists honestly, if you want to write about new tech things write properly with proper information and relevant images. No dev will read that article if you do this kind of blunder.

Is it only me or does Unity really force people to write ugly code?
Sometimes I think to my self : " just go and write your god damn own fuckin engine"

But then I sit back and realize that I'd never finish a game that way.

Love & Hate Unity !

Unity or Unreal Engine... I am a noob to game dev. Please help

Finally, I'm going to learn Unity 😘🙂🙂🙂🤗🤗

Unity can make any trash atleast look and smell good

Did not want to open photoshop, wrote pixelart editor in unity.

I'd love to learn unity or UE4 properly and write a little 3D indie game. Written a few in 2 dimensions but the step up to 3 is daunting. Plus I don't know blender or Maya...yet

Been drinking like a litre of beer yesterday after a long day of work, came home like at 2.35 AM.

Today's gonna be a long day and I only slept 6h40m and I'm still feeling drunk.

What an awesome way to start working!

Also, making an AR project in unity, doing stuff I dunno how to do

I've been creating a game in Unity and I made sure to tell all my friends, but now every other day when I see them they ask me if they can play it. It gets a bit old, I try to explain this is a very long-term project and there's nothing to play until it's almost complete. Only a few of them get the memo.

Unity.

Programming opened my mind to logical thinking and honestly made me a less impulsive and more analytical person in almost every regard.

I just wanted to quickly install a little Ubuntu on my notebook for some testing.
And here I am hours later installing unity themes.
I think I could get used to this.

I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY I FUCKING HATE UNITY

Ok, I messed up with Unity again.
I am done.

Reinstalling....

How to slack during work like a pro? (if you are a unity developer)

1- make a full screen youtube player inside Unity.
2- fill most of the screen with panels (debug, file browser... etc)
3- watch a video about overwatch or something.

enjoy!!

My first unity try :D

Not really a rant, but:

Me, programming in unity using C#: well if I add that library, My life will get a little bit easier, but the final APK will be 2MB heavier because of it.
WebDev who never used compiled programming languages: can't you just minify it?
Me:

Thank you unity, for not having an undo feature for files or something lice a recycle bin. You nailed it. You made this days work go wasted

Today, i finally started to develop in Unity. Now i know, i know nothing about math

I quite like Unity.
It's a good engine, BUT....

I despise doing UI in it, it's just so tedious to make everything work and show up.
In the past I didn't mind but then I learned about XAML in WPF, UWP and Xamarin. XAML works very nice with the MVVM pattern (even if you do that lazily) with the data binding.

So now I'm working on my own data binding, which is both fun and saddening (because it's not in there already)

Hold on... Forever 😮 Unity guys will understand!

I'm suffering with Unity. It's definitely the real pain.

Boss: look we have only VR projects this year. You need to learn Unity.

ME: NO fucking way..... FUCK You unthankful PRICK. I'm not going to learn your fucking unity bullshit after all those backends, mobile apps, code I've wrote for you? I FUCKING HATE UNITY. Time for a new job I guess.

Big win today. Set up a custom motion capture pipeline for Unity using my Vive/controllers today. Quote a bit of scripting but I went from nothing to complete animation reel for our character model in a single day.

Successful day for once. I can sleep well tonight.

I love, love, LOVE Unity Engine!!!
Great tutorials, good documentation, helpful community, easy to understand interface...
It's all just... so beautiful.
I swear to god that I'm not shilling for them, I'm just so happy that, as a generally lazy SOB, I've been working for about 10+ hours now in one sitting, and I'm still not bored or frustrated that I don't get something.
God bless you Unity, I might actually make something outta myself...maybe...someday.

The response to Unity Tiny seems to be mostly "wow such small". I guess it shows just how bloated software is these days...

My lessons both come from my current side project (I will share it with you in a week or two, the website isn't finished yet):
1. Every project comes to the point where it hurts to continue. Keep pushing, the result is worth it.
2. You aren't as good as you thought you were when you started, but you'll be better than you ever were when you finish.
3. Sometimes, there's more points to a list than you'd expect.
4. One hour per day is easier than five hours a week.

How?
Well. I started out my project knowing some C#, but Jack shit about unity. I know most of what I might build will end up being shit I'm gonna regret, refactor and recycle later. But I don't give a fuck. Doing it is better than planning it.

It sometimes hurts to get rid of a carefully planned algorithm that took hours to build because it fails in practice. But it's the right thing to do.

Never plan too much. If I'd have planned this project out, I wouldn't even have started with what I'm good at: write code, break shit and experiment.

It's easier to progress slowly but steady. Look at some awesome games that have been worked on for ages while the public had their say (RimWorld, Project Zomboid, Dwarf Fortress...) as opposed to those that are developed behind closed doors and rushed to the market before Christmas or some other major event (Mafia 3, Fallout 76, Fallout 4 VR...). Progress slowly, deploy early, push often. And the one hour per day approach is a good way to do this.

FUCK YOU, UNITY.

The fucking UI lag causes mouse events in the editor to aggregate and act fucking weird when it's randomly reloading scripts and shit.

I just needed to move some assets into another folder. I control clicked a few scripts at the same time Unity decided to recompile them. It ended up thinking I was making a box selection and then, weirdly, some mouse combo that duplicates scripts (didn't even know that existed).

Okay, whatever, nbd. I just control clicked the other scripts (all with `1` postfixes) to delete them. No problemo, right click, delete.

FUCKING UNITY LAGGED, THOUGHT I BOX-SELECTED AGAIN, AND DELETED EVERYTHING IN THE GOD DAMNED FUCKING FOLDER. HOURS OF WORK. JUST GONE.

FUCK YOU UNITY. YOU'VE CRASHED THREE TIMES THIS WEEK AND NOW THIS. FUCK YOU.

Learn Python, Kotlin and C# for unity

My first experience with any kind of development was in a web mastering class in high school. I got super into it and started going really far ahead in the course materials.

During the second semester most students in the class were not interested at all so I decided to start a business of selling custom tailored assignments to about half the class. It didn't make me rich of course, but it felt good being the HTML / CSS god in the class.

The best part honestly was getting caught. The principal was so impressed at the amount of extra work I'd been doing that he just gave me a detention. Thanks Mr. Murray, for being so cool and not putting me down for doing what I love.

I'm installing Unity. Choosing the "sign in with Google" option, this leads to a screen asking for my Google account and password - *inside the installer*. No external browser.
What made them think it's legitimate? Why can't they just open my web browser for this? Why should I trust them with my email password?

Any unity devs out here???

Upgrading Unity with petrifying dread, contemplating the shit loads of work I have to do in order to fix my project as it used depricated APIs.

Anybody else hyped for Unity 2018? NO MORE FUCKING HLSL!!!!

Inatalling i3 window manager.
F*** you unity.

We use Unity in university to display the workings of algorithms.
Cus you know.. a little cross-platform 2d webgl is not enough.. we need this whole friggin engine with an IDE and its 1000 buttons and switches and need for an account and C#...

been a couple of years since I was last active here.

Source Engine still has its claws on me today - but Nii broke free and properly got into other engines and made some cool projects! We both study different stuff now.

I tried to get into Unity a couple of times now, even made a small VR grappling hook prototype once (def not nauseating). But it's hell. It's kinda sad that modern engines don't understand the needs of level designers as well as Source's Hammer. Even though Source is outdated af.

Thing is, I am more and more starting to doubt that this is what I wanna do in life. Game industry sucks. Ad industry sucks even more. I might just become a tree and produce oxygen.

Any Unreal Engine devs here?
What do you think about the engine and how does it compare to Unity?

Rainbow Folders, personal Unity plugin recommendation

So me and my friend started doing a video game project. To be honest I was expecting it to be nothing but pain and suffer.
But it turned out to be really fun experience for both of us (plus I’m learning Unity) 😁

I'm kinda happy that i'm not a unity developer rn.

Tha fuck is going on, unity is introducing a 'runtime installation fee'?
Seriously?

Really makes godot very attractive out of all sudden...

What game engine would you recommend to an indie developer? The type who can't afford a fucking server to run the bloated and buggy unity editor but is actually a developer so isn't afraid of typing.
I've had enough of the improper sandboxing (will crash bc of game scripts), tempfile-based crash-unaware instance tracking (won't restart afterwards) and lack of UI scaling (seriously, that's like accessibility/retina support basics) that is the unity editor. If they had command line tools I'd use them happily.

Android studio
Unity
Atom
FileZilla
Winrar :)

Woo!

Thanks @dfox and @trogus !

I feel Unity is also part of the mass surv-something program.

a little preview of my current Unity project in GIF form. it's a little rough, sorry.

When you are developing your game and you realise that there exist a game on the same platform which can do this. 😂

I had a team lead once that would come into my office multiple times a day to sit and talk. Not about work. Not even about development. Just to talk.

Ahh, Unity’s “Wheel Joint.” Who knew it had “polarity.” I spent good several f*<king hours debugging this $h!+ just to find out I just placed them backwards on a 2-D car. Instead of the joint turning the wheels, they were trying to “turn the chassis.”
This meant the chassis received an impossible force which would rip it in half in real life. Of course, this was a unity game, so what happened instead was the physics engine flipping out which sent the car into the air!
I guess it was good for some lulz, but it took way too long to debug. I guess it’s time to take a little time off of that project.

Finally upgrading to Unity 2018 on my laptop

An example of bad documentation? Unity. It has a list of poorly described methods of deprecated classes. The only reasonable documentation is the community. Docommunitation.

Fuck Unity.
Today the version that those monsters call stable, decided to not render UI text (canvas) in a project I had to upgrade from an older version.

But it performs this practical joke (that stable software must do) only in the fucking editor.

How am I making sure that the text aligns? Ah, just moving the anchor positions, changing the font size, binary fucking searching for the right position for alignment by moving n pixels at a time, and exporting a webgl build and running it to make sure it's aligned

We're shifting to Unreal next year. I'll make sure of it

Has anyone used Unity for Linux? I was thrilled when I found out about it today, and everything seems to work really well. There's is one thing that's bothering me though. I can't seem to resize undocked panels, and docked panels cause a crap ton of lag when resized. Running Ubuntu 18.04.

Also, what editor do you use for Unity? VS Code is officially supported by Unity and is something I use on a daily basis.

Do not trust Unity Collab.

Been using unity collab as a VCS for months on a project, regularly saving the files, working well.
Today i decided to refactor some code but lost track of some things, so i reverted to a version i checked in 2h before.

Unity replaced my files with the stable build back then, except... half of the files were missing. of course no undo functionality.
months of work were simply not saved in collab. no version had these files, i did modify them regularly and they never caused collab issues.

how can a company not make the vcs they add for their main product work to its minimal requirements?!

Im not sure how i could motivate myself to fix this mess. fuck this trash company, cant have a single project without major issues.

When you need to install windows to run unity but linux is love. ❤️

Dear sweet Unity please work with me

Really hate pen drives, lost all my 2D game on Unity 😭😭

Unity WHY!

Unity is the best UI ever! It rocks the UX world.
Windows 10 with unity interface would be purrfect.

>building the same app once again because of a bug
>look in the unity editor settings for android
>find "proguard"
>google it, find it might be useful to minify, obfuscate code and other stuff
>try to minify the shit of the app
>original app was 25.1MB
>minified app is 24.6MB
>minified app using "Gradle (Experimental)" is 24.5MB

Never trust unity video tutorials made by 5yo...

:/ @ unity

I want to get into game dev, but don't know which engine to choose, Unreal or Unity. Both would be free, because Unreal is free for students. I already know C++, but I think it depends more on the API than the language itself. Maybe I would like to create games for Android too.
Which one would you recommend? Any experience?

I'm at DreamHack Dallas, and I just saw a guy at his booth open Unity, fix a bug, and rebuild the game.
No judgment from me brah, I get it,
but it is nice not to be my broken demo for a change.

So we started a new Unity video game project for mobile in June 2021. Hooray!

Being a mobile project, one of the earliest things we think about is scaling the interface across all sorts of device screen resolutions and aspect ratios, right? Well, to preemptively solve this problem early on, I decided to letterbox the game view - just choose one aspect ratio for the game and pad black bars to the sides of the screen. Simple, solves the game's world space problem without trying too hard, and it automatically adapts to Android's split-screen mode.

I showed the early builds to management as well as game design team and they gave me some general nods. Sounds like green light ahead. I spent the next few months building the game logic and scale the UI around a consistent letterboxed game view. If you had experience scaling Unity UI to a letterboxed area, you should already knew that it takes a whole paradigm of its own that's kinda hard to break out of, but the fact that it stays consistent across all screen aspect ratios is so worth it. Regardless, the biggeer benefit of letterboxing is simpler world space setup. You don't worry about whether this particular area will be overflowed horizontally or vertically in a particular device or not. You have a 9:16 window to view the world through, nothing needs to move at runtime and that's about it.

Fast-forward to early September 2021 and 40+ builds later, the GD started having concern that the playing area is not filling up his phone screen and that the letterboxes are bothering him. He wants to get rid of the letterboxes and wants the game world as well as UI to fill up his screen.

Yes. After 40+ builds, for all of which the letterbox was present, nobody in the project raised a concern about the letterbox. It's only NOW that they all of the sudden side with the GD and demand the removal of the letterbox. I feel like almost half of my effort on this game has been wasted. These clueless guys didn't spend one second looking at the early builds thinking of the possibility that the black bars at the top and bottom of their phone screens (which I repeat: has been around since the very first build) is gonna bother them? Somebody must be playing a cruel joke at this company. They had all the chances to bring this up as a potential issue and TODAY is the first time I hear of it.

See, designers. You waste our time and your time by doing this kind of thing. Please raise your issues early. Complain to us ASAP. If you wait for so long before raising an issue that has been in-your-face the whole time, I can't fault any developer for assuming you're trying to play a long prank. I can tell designers right now: it's not funny.

Am I the only one who likes Ubuntu with Unity but not Gnome?

Why does everyone hate Unity (the game engine)? I've used it and it's honestly not that bad.

Switched from Git repo hosted on BitBucket to Unity Collab Beta. Hope it will work fine.

Unity for Linux actually works 🤟🤟🤟

Last time I checked it didn’t go well at all. Has been years ago though..

Now lets start building some 3D stuff.

0 bytes of heap allocated per cycle! Figuring out the Unity profiler actually helped me improve my C# optimization. <3

I'm learning JavaScript and C# which is best when using unity? Does it matter?

!rant

Just spent the last few days learning about unity's custom editor stuff.

Gotta say it's really fun making tools that help setup stuff a lot easier

The thing I made has a bunch of actions and you randomize the action thats picked. You give each action a % chance and even have a % decrease when the action is used.

I ended up adding in a simulator in the inspector so you can test without even running the game :D pretty happy with the result!

Recently i learned about pipes in C#. I made 2 simple console apps(client and server) in visual studio. They work flawlessly. After that i made plugin for unity that uses those pipes. (because i want to crunch numbers in .net 4.7 app and display results in unity). Every function in my plugin is wrapped in try-catch block. Unity frezzes/crashes everytime i try to use my plugin 😥

Holiday Reading: A Book Of Lenses

Status: Reenergised, pumped to program once again

Unity's "quirk" messed me up again. This time, I wanted the time when the key was pressed as precisely as possible, independent of the framerate.
So I put the input reading routine into the thread pool, which causes the first few readings to throw null reference exceptions. No biggie; the system needs a few moments to warm up. So, I try-catch that part.

But when I build the game, as soon as I reach the part where the game tries to read the input value, it hard-crashes before try-catch can act 🤦

this is how unity launcher position bottom looks and it sucks! 😂

Is anyone here game developer too? Especially unity and c#?

Build one minigame each month. To get better with unity.

Ok, so, serious question.
How the frick do you time a music game properly?
IN C#?

...Ok, maybe in C# it's just impossible, isn't it? Because I've done a metronome, it kinda works, but it's... wobbly... Because the thread stops every time the music effect is being played.
And also how do you make the notes...? ...I should design an entire editor for charts/maps, I guess, but how do I make that in C#?

So maybe I should try in Unity?
What do you think? I want to make a music game so bad ;–;

Spent 2 hours wondering why Unity Engine sees my 2 joysticks as Joystick 1 and Joystick 5 (or 6 depending on a UBS port).
Turns out, for some reason, Unity remembers ALL the ports that were ever used (even with the usb extender). That's documented...exactly nowhere. Ok, at least I figured that out, but what am I gonna do about it? Nothing, there's no way to change the order.
So after a quick nervous breakdown, and a cigarette break, I decided to build and run the game, just to see how it looks, and...what's this?
Everything's working! Unity removes all the joysticks from it's array and puts only active ones in the right order and that too is documented...NOWHERE!
Ugh... Unity I still love you, but god damn, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!
Needless to say, this day is an emotional roller coaster.

It's 1:20 AM and after about 5 hours of pushing and tugging I managed to finally get Unity Hybrid ECS working. Every guide on the internet is filled with outdated crap, and one of the last results (which is not mentioned in the official docs) is Unity's in-house samples, which are up-to-date. And it's actually really fucking simple.

I'm experiencing an emotion that's right somewhere in the middle of euphoria and bloodrage. But at least I can now make steps towards integrating ECS into my game.

edit: On a related note; is there still a difference between hybrid and pure ECS? The only way I can see people actually doing this is by converting their GameObjects to entities with a script in the Entities package, and then squishing pure IComponentData's in ComponentSystems.

What if, hear me out
What
If
Web application front end
But on unity webgl
And we kill JavaScript

Unity wants me to download whole editor again for a minor update. Damn.

Eclipse with ADT. Never again. I'm so glad Google and JetBrains have put together a really great environment for Android development.

Me and a friend starting to program a game in Unity, he's worried and I think we will ace it! How f***ed are we? (5 years of website development experience each)

Heyo, it's me. That fool who always says shit about unity.(:

So.. i just got my first real hands-on down, and phew, i gotta say.. I overestimated that heap of bullshit.

It's not like there are basic concepts of gamedev, framebased ticking and stuff like that since before the fucking gameboy - nope - let's do shit different. More ... Shit. First, we invent something new. Lets call it "prefab". None of these fuckers is going to know what that shit is.
What next.. oh the new-keyword. That's bullshit, all languages use it. Lets make Instanciate(). That's the stuff.

On we go, scenes. Most shit is statically created beforehand and used by scripts glued to stuff. Hell that so neat actually. Creating materials beforehand and then we can just load em!(:

NOPE. yo bro your Material where u used one of those loading-methods is null. We ain't telling you whats wrong, cus you know.. Load() returning null is like completely normal, why throwing an exception?
Oh and btw, it needs to be in ./Resources/, but it wont make any difference.

So now you want to google your problem, eh? Forget it. The Forums only answer on stuff like "how to add 2 numbers in unity" and the guide shows you how you did it, but they say it works that way.

Dude holy shit, of course this is a buhuuu i don't know how to do shit rant because i feel like good 8-10 years of dev experience collected while not doing homework for school were for fucking nothing.:b

And i have to use it.

Subjective Opinion: Unity was made by crackheads.

Maybe I'll finish those unity tutorials after all

So I upgraded my project to a new version of unity.

And my character stopped jumping.

And then it started jumping.
And stopped.
And started.

After 2 hours of debugging I found out that the RigidBody2D editor fucks up physics.
WTH

I had to switch machines in class. To continue working on my project, I needed to install 17 gb worth of Unity 2019 bullshit. Guess what? They removed the progress bar in the move to Unity Hub. Now I just get "Installing..." This seems minor, until I don't know if I'll be working in two minutes or two fucking days. What the fuck, Unity? Why would you remove a fucking progress bar?

Unity has a nice feature where if you search for an item in your hierarchy, it fades to white as if it just crashed.

Thanks for the heart attack, Unity! Maybe this serves as a reminder to save frequently because it *does* crash a lot.

Achieving decent 2D collision detection using ray casting in unity is kinda hard. I have immense respect for gameplay programmers.

I'm almost there though...

fuck, took me a whole hour to debug an issue in my game that causes the start menu to switch right to the game itself, only after an hour i realized that i named the start game method as a default start ( a default method that executes at the very start of the scene). feeling so dumb now.

Making a VR app.
It must work with:
- pico VR
- oculus go
- oculus gear
- Android (standard mobile
- iOS

Now, except for iOS they all work with android, which make things way easier.

Now guess where most of the troubles are?

FUCKING IOS, I just fucking believe iOS even inverts the whole fucking textures while using Unity+GVR

WHY THE FUCK DOES IT EVEN HAPPEN?

I have 4 different projects to build 5 different Apps

Fuck my work

c# is very good language as far as i experienced in past 2 months

Regarding my previous rant where I shit talked about ubuntu 17.10

So instead of downgrading I tried a last chance (why not, system was fucked already) by installing unity, yes the same shit that ubuntu team removed from ubuntu 17.10 as major upgrade.

Well, it turns out gnome shell was taking more than half of my cpu in idle state and this unity barely reaches above 10%

Life lesson learnt: not every upgrade is better

Same goes for android studio, let's save it for another rant

My family literally knows nothing about development, programming, computer science. It's bad. The closest anyone in my family has come to understanding is a distant cousin, who is an IT lead in Healthcare. His mother told him to call me because some fucking piece of shit at his job purposefully mucked up an internal ASP.net app on his way out. Sure, I had nothing better to do than to phone debug your shitty app with zero context. Great.

My wife is the one who comes closest to understanding in my immediate family* but even she admits when I come home ranting that she has absolutely zero idea what I'm saying.

It great though because I get to use her as a living rubber duck that just stares at me with a blank expression. Then at the end of describing a complex problem I'm trying to sort out she just replies with some encouraging thing like, "I'm certain you'll figure it out."

Fuck this is a long rant. Sorry. I better get back to work.

Well, I guess even googles listing of solutions on the fly from external websites doesnt always work perfectly..

So I was messing around in unity, as you do. And I made an explosion mechanic platformer. The scripts were all working well. I saved it for the day.
The next day I booted unity and my scripts were gone, and the scene switcher won't work.
So I mean, partly my fault. Partly google drive's fault and partly unity's fault.

Lovely unity.

I kept building apps for android for the WHOLE day, then I just change the app version and what do I get?

No android SDK version is installed anymore, apparently.

Now I'll just have to wait like 3-4h to download everything back again.

Developing an app in Unity, gotta add some icons, my boss tells me unironically:
- "hey, use font-awesome!"

Yeah, right, like I can use HTML tags into unity or go check the specific code for the specific symbol, are you out of your mind?

Earlier today I spend 3 hours that included a nap and cleaning the house to try to clear my head and figure out why my Unity multiplayer code wasn't translating properly to local. Turns out a certain function has no problem existing in update in multiplayer but wants to be in fixedupdate in local... Productive day.

I actually prefer Ubuntu Unity over Gnome...but I'm afraid of the Linux inquisition.

Hey, unity devs out here!

Any Udemy unity courses suggestions?

To use Unity with VS you have to get Unity Build Tools as a plugin.

Alright, I'll download that.

Oh but now there's an error with connecting to unity, I need to get a newer VS and switch to the 2018 version of the engine.

Ok fine that's annoying but I guess I might as well upgrade.

Oh now there's no Intellisense? I guess I need to reload my project.

Oh what's this? Some major build error due to a missing component from Vs 2015?

This is getting stupid, fine let me install it.

Oh but to install the component you need to rerun the installer for VS, fine I'll redownload that.

Oh but apparently the installer _I JUST DOWNLOADED A FEW SECONDS AGO_ is outdated and needs to be upgraded. I can't _not_ update the installer and still install the components because that would be stupid, why would we let the developer decide what versions to use obviously they don't know what they're doing I mean it's not like they know how to use computers?

To get simple code completion, let's force developers to download an installer that then needs to be updated to install a component for this giant IDE that also requires the 2015 version of the IDE to be installed alongside a special plugin and patch designed for a specific game engine.

All this. For fucking code completion. I can't even get Intellisense to work in VSCode without fixing the issue since the C# extension in VSCode just binds to Visual Studio tools and runs the same shit with a different GUI.

lol started using unity a couple of days ago and with the tutorials and everything it was all going merry and well. I followed the roll a ball tutorial word by word and letter by letter. the game worked perfectly, well....
at least in unity.
Thing is, I build the game and boom.
I have a working game with no collision detection(basically not working). didn't touch unity for 4 days now. Fuck I hate when this happens.

Unity > Unreal.
Let's go

Want to end a game in unity - need to focus only on one or two projects at the same time

Waiting for Unity to recompile code after some small change is excruciating...

Between android studio and Unity, which one si better to make a adventure text game? Why? (i'm learning, dont kill me please)

Coding an Augmented Reality with custom implementation.

Coding a 2d UFO game with Unity.

I'm between those two as "most fun coding"

Quick tip:
An office laptop cant keep unity, atom, github desktop, >100 firefox tabs and ms word open at the same time.

I started learning Unity through their online learning pathways and I can't help it but Unity feelsmkind of gimicky. Like it's a lot of clicking your stuff together and using predefined components (at least at the early learning step I am right now) and very little coding.
I expected more of a Framework.

a few years back in uni, programming my first game in Unity. I spend days and nights on it, for both playing and programming it.

The new Unity 2018. God damn i wanted so long to rewrite that fucking renderpipeline

So I'm writing a function in Unity3D that walks a rectangular grid. At one place in the code, I got the x+y coordinates backwards, which caused the function to infinitely loop between two coordinates.

Not seeing a way to kill the loop, I looked it up on Google. The suggestions I get are. . .

1. You need to kill the Unity3D task and lose your edits because the environment and the player run on the same thread.
2. You can pay ten bucks for an extension that lets you break out of infinite loops.
3. You should really avoid writing infinite loops. That's just bad form.

SERIOUSLY?

Unity
Photoshop
Devrant
Visual code & studio

What desktop do you like for Linux? Looking at budgie and kde. I used gnome and unity way back but didn't care much for either.

What game engine would you recommend? I heard about Unity is a pretty good start?

Just reinstalled my work machine and decided to customize Unity a bit....
Aaaand I'm reinstalling again..

Ended up not being able to login with three screens, two worked fine though..

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Last night I was up until 3am because the fucking unity and the fucking Android SDK can't put together an structure without mi intervention.

It appears that since SDK 23 Google decided to move some libraries from tools to build-tools, but unity keeps trying to find that library in tools, obviously this error doesn't have any specific documentation and i spend around 5 hours downloading SDKs and trying to figure out what happen, till I found one tiny post in unity forum with only one answer.

I mean, on one side, this has changed since android 23 and the folks in unity can't change his fucking compiler yet, and on the other side, why the fuck Google change libraries from one place to another

Also, as a note to Google, your new system for SDK-only download its super shitty and full of problems, I don't know why you change it.

Is it a good idea to develop non game app in Unity? Asking because I got an idea for a app and I know Unity very well. Way better than Xamarin for instance.

Making a simple 2d game in unity for a friend:

Never used unity or C#, but this looks easy. Gravity is already there, background is drag and drop, etc. That shit is fucking easy.

I think the hardest thing is going to be the textures, and inkscape got my back on that!

Anyway, I really need to sleep but I’m just reading the tutorial!

LET ME SLEEP FUCKING DEV BRAIN!

I feel hopeless after Unity fails to start/run under your primary user but works fine using guest user and other user in the system. And i did my research to fix it, but none seems to work. :(

The last thing i did to my laptop that might cause the error is executed the commands below:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Working on a game in Unity for a school project, spent several hours trying to implement a feature... successfully implemented it... only to realize that the feature does something very different than I thought it did.

I thought LoadSceneMode.Additive loaded scenes into memory in the background so I could just switch to them for faster load times... nope, it loads the scenes and just stacks them on top of each other or something like that... Unless I'm still misunderstanding...

Why the fICKITY FUCK CANT UNITY DO WHAT ITS DING DANG JOB YO I'M JUST TRYING TO SIMULATE AUTONOMOUS AGENTS NOT AGENTS FROM HELL YOU FEEL ME

So I got my stress with unity settled a bit..
But what the fuck are these default coordinates on like every new object in the scene, using 2D?
Shit like (-0.4876651, -0.02003769, 0.0546875) dafuq.:D

MonoDevelop.
IDK why, i....just prefer VS when working with Unity

Godot Engine - great open source alternative to Unity, powerful with basically anything you need for game dev and with great community,
VS Community and VS Code for more serious things, because they're pretty pretty powerful and extendable.
Oh and Krita is kinda cool, but I'm not much of an art guy
