These days I'm really not on Twitter anymore, I even removed the app from my phone. You'll find me camping on Bluesky or Mastodon.

@TimSweeneyEpic I would argue that most of the games we wanted do in fact exist 🙂 The notion that gamers want bigger, more realistic and complex games is harmful, in my opinion, and is an artificial device to justify the use of AI.

@rocco_tanica @BrunoTolve Infatti, ascolta bene anche tu, mi sembra che tu ti sia fermato ad un ascolto molto superficiale del video.

[Ciro Continisio @CiroContns]

@pbhogan Thanks for the details! I can see that would be a cool thing to have – though I'm not aware of a motion matching system in development, so we might have to rely on traditional state machines 🙇🏻

@Jakob_Wahlberg (you can also message me on Discord, if you want to do more long form!) 🙏

[Ciro Continisio @CiroContns]

@Jakob_Wahlberg Hey Jakob. I know a team at Unity is about to start some work on character controllers. What would a "flexible character controller" require, for you? I'm particularly interested in hearing about the flexibility (across genres? etc.) Thanks!

[Ciro Continisio @CiroContns]

Anyway, if you have one of my tools and you're appreciating it, it would be nice if you could leave a review! They help a lot with visibility! 🙏🏻

[Ciro Continisio @CiroContns]

Woke up to this very disheartening review on my tool. As far as I can tell, this user never reached out to mention what issues they might have been having 😐

[Ciro Continisio @CiroContns]

(in fact if you're the one who wrote it, hop on my Discord and let me help!! 🙂)

@necrolipe For your curiosity, Splatoon was born as a prototype involving tofu characters! :)

It's now the last day with the launch discount!
Find it here: https://t.co/OI8FpVZPYl

[Ciro Continisio @CiroContns]

It's on launch discount for another 4 days by the way, so act fast if you are thinking of getting it!

Quite happy with the reception for BlackBox 2 so far. It's currently sitting at position 21 in the Utilities category when ordered by Popularity (out of 3800 assets!). So not too bad.

(and I just noticed, it's #7 when ordered by Relevance – how did that even work??)

[Ciro Continisio @CiroContns]

@ChaineDeQualite But I think I understand now. The update from BB 1.x to BB 2.x right now is set to be $19.99, so that is why you're seeing it as 71% off. That's funny :)

In any case, that price is also a sort of launch offer, it will last another week and then it's going to be $29.99.

[Ciro Continisio @CiroContns]

I finally managed to release the 2.0 version of BlackBox!
I'm very proud of how it turned out, and the feedback I got from users was fundamental in shaping this v2 (including a big indie studio in Canada, you know who you are <3).

@ChaineDeQualite -71% 😱 You mean BlackBox 2? It should be at -50%, and it's going to be for another week.

[Ciro Continisio @CiroContns]

@ChaineDeQualite Depends! When did you get version 1.x? Upgrading is free if you got within 90 days of the launch of 2.0.
You can also reach out to me at - buoybase at gmail dot com - and we can figure out the case.

While the tool fundamentally serves the same purpose, there are a lot of workflow improvements, new features, UI tweaks, and bug fixes. The changelog is quite long: https://t.co/CV3fTHs1S1

@KenneyNL As you know I answered on Bluesky, but for anyone reading the post:
As of 1.9.0, BlackBox's minimum supported version is 2022.3 LTS.
