A bit of fun making a procedural fire shader

.@DarwinStreams showcased a pseudo-volumetric smoke effect created with Unity's Particle System, optimized to run smoothly on low-end mobile devices.

Also has screen depth fade for the intersections with the ground. Unlit. The lighting is just light dir ⋅ world normal and then lerp for the highlight and the shadow.
Made it for my mobile game, so performance wise that costs pretty much nothing in the context of my scene.

Particle system emitting spheres and a shader, that uses inverted Fresnel and scrolling texture to feather out the edges and give shape to the smoke. Surprisingly performant

@SKIPAHH Yes

@PMAJellies @unitygames Yeah but in a studio setting 200k revenue is nothing. Midrange mobile studios often operate on pretty thin 5-10% margins.
So you could be in a situation where you earned 200k rev but made only 10k profit and Unity is now “taxing” you 40k. Completely insane

I’ve been developing in Unity3D for over 12 years.
Every other system in unity has been remade better by users. Unity community have substituted the shitty documentation.
Everything that actually makes Unity a good and usable engine it owes to its users.

Fuck you @unitygames

Its funny that "He launched rockets into space" is somehow an argument for @elonmusk ability to manage people.

Soviet dictators were really good at launching rockets too 🚀 not exactly the best long term approach

@KarQGames Brig’s rally armour blocking more damage than regular armour. Which was in the game since her release and till 2 years ago

[Darwin @DarwinStreams]

@Liam_ODD Would ya look at that beard, very nice

[Darwin @DarwinStreams]

@andygmb1 yes

[Darwin @DarwinStreams]

Made a spreadsheet to compare concurrent players to concurrent players peaks and Twitch viewership for games on Steam.

Sim games have crazy loyal fanbase.
CP2077 is dead even by singleplayer standards.
Twitch viewership doesnt reflect game's playerbase

What if your abilities had an effect on the environment? Allow Sombra to give you a demonstration...

Our first big project is finally complete! Watch it on YouTube for better quality :)

@charles_grassi Looks pretty great, is this gonna be publicly available at any point?

[Darwin @DarwinStreams]

@bgolus I wonder if unity will introduce a nanite-like system, at its core it seems fairly straightforward. Or perhaps some assetstore genius will do that for them lol

@Stylosa @Jay3OW I think you forgot quotation marks for American “bread” (90% sugar not technically bread)
