I’ve made my fair share of mistakes while building this business. I don’t sweep them under the rug. In fact, I even pulled apart the broken bits of my failed Kickstarter campaign for my understanding and published them online for public benefit. Being able to analyze and move forward after failure is critical to your success and a big part of getting your game from Start to Finish.

At long last, Godot 3.2 is nearing completion and we are happy to publish this second Release Candidate , to encourage a broad testing of what should become Godot 3.2-stable in coming days. The first RC build last Friday appeared to be problematic for some users with the GLES3 backend, as calculations for the irradiance map were taking too much time for some drivers (leading to a GPU hang).

What is the most attractive thing in games? Perfect gameplay? Maybe an incredibly interesting story? Hyper-casual games do not have a story, they have little content, and yet it is one of the most addictive genres in the history of gaming. How is it even possible? . Voodoo, Ketchapp, Lion Studios, King. Have you ever seen their splash screens? Do you know Flappy Bird, Subway Surfers or Jetpack Joyride?

Harvest Island OST Inspired by Violet Evergarden. Harvest Island Music. A Peaceful Place in The Nightly Woods. The piece is called “A Peaceful Place In The Nightly Woods” and it took me nearly 3 days to write. This is a piece that I love so much. It has a playful charm to it. Most video games now when you explore during the night, the music becomes creepy, or ominous, and the speed of the music slows down.

Intro. Unity Engine introduces an awesome tools to empower your game development process. And even before an era of SRPs (Scriptable Render Pipelines), there was a good amount of solid features like today’s topic: Render textures. In this post I’m going to explain to you how to use render textures in your game. Project Setup. I have created a new project in Unity 2018.4 using legacy rendering, but the features I used work in SRPs too.

This is the last of four articles in the Failure Recovery series on Start to Finish. My own recent failure to launch a board game in 2018 , Highways & Byways , is what inspired this detour from the originally planned articles. I think that a frank discussion of failure – what it looks like, the consequences, and moving forward – is really important for new creators to learn.

Lifetime Va… What Exactly is it? LTV. Lifetime Value. We should be able to easily determine what it is and know what it can be used for. However, this is not as easy as it sounds. LTV is one of the most important metrics, often called the king of metrics. This is one of the pillars for creating and developing mobile games. Without it, the game would probably not be so well thought out, which could badly affect the return on investment (ROI).

Except it’s from the monsters’ point of view! The Tasty Humans Kickstarter went on to raise $20,536 and then several thousand more on BackerKit for a total of $28,000 and counting.

Hello everyone, Ready for a Unity Asset Competition? want to win a copy of the Drag Camera 2D Pro asset? The unity asset store is a great place for both asset developers and game developers. Game devs get cool assets that can quickly speed up the development of games and aset devs get paid for their work. It’s a win-win situation. One of the issues we found is the low amount of feedback we get from people who use our assets.
