    Is pursuing 3D Design and animation worth it?

    IDEA 
    I disagree with that. It can't handle nuance and will never be able to since it's not real. If I said a funny joke it can be only programmed to laugh at the joke and not fully understand the joke, especially if its a joke between people who have only experienced "a thing". Yet another human...

    Is pursuing 3D Design and animation worth it?

    IDEA 
    It solves problems. Fastlane isn't just about creating something like a cure for cancer that changes lives. If everyone only bought what they needed, movies wouldn't make a billion dollars nor would large corporations such as Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo post insane profits. Like a poster...

    He's gone ya'll. "Unity, the company behind the game development engine of the same name, has just announced that its president, CEO, and chairman John Riccitiello “will retire” effective immediately." https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/9/23910441/unity-ceo-president-john-riccitiello-out-retire

    If I were you I'd use LinkedIn or Indeed and get a stable job first, especially if you are broke. Look for opportunities on here after.

    Game development - is it good path to become rich?

    IDEA MINDSET 
    I work in the game industry for my day job. It's a meat grinder even if you have millions in the coffers. I am a witness to the fast depletion of funds and resources. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Provide something people want to play, skew value, etc. A lot of what Fastlane and...

    So very true. The 2.8 update is when they changed perception. It was a big deal that actually lived up to the hype. Incredible tool and I use it for my 3D game assets. It's definitely used in professional settings now.

    It does not and it appears that most are still upset. This just took a little of the sting out of it. The runtime fee is still there if you update your Unity version in 2024 (so in essence they still double down) and could flip-flop in 2030 or something, and put your business in jeopardy...

    I actually enjoy writing code and creating art assets. Matter in fact a guy at my old job saw what I was able to do and said I'm actually more of a Technical Artist. A person who is proficient in both realms and it's fairly rare. I'm almost done with placing a sprite character I created in...

    I looked into MonoGame and it's a framework and not a engine. There's a bunch work that you need to do get stuff working. I'm no John Carmack. I'm an intermediate C# programmer who knows some C++ and Python. I need something quick since I literally do everything myself. (as seen in this...

    I haven't tried Godot yet. I'm diving in tomorrow morning to try and get something running. I have assets I've already made. (I do my own art and animation along with coding.) With that said, supposedly the 2D support is apparently on par or better than Unity. It has some work to do on the...

    Dramatic for sure, but my day job is a company that uses Unity, even though my intention is to start my own studio next year. It's real for me right now. We have millions of installs. Also, for Indie devs, they don't make a game for it not to sell. If you happened to make a viral F2P game...
