Test Driven Development is an important skill to have in software and #gamesdevelopment. I've attempted to break down the subject in to small articles and later breakdown #TDD in #Unity.
This is a great skill for placements and graduates.

@ThePrimeagen Legit.

Struggling to focus on side projects. Developing a little 2D engine and resolved a ticket - add circle on circle collision. If you too have a project you want to work on - try picking up a small task! One ticket at a time! #gamedev

Bought a label maker.
The first label has to be this.

I've been helping @nexilegames with this update for the past few months and I'm so excited to be able to share it with everyone! 🎉
I feel very thankful to be able to have gone from making a silly bird mod for their game to helping them with official mod support!

Yoshi's Safari has an anti-piracy measure where it tricks the system into doing something the cartridge should not be able to do, and locks up if the action succeeds. The below image uses anthropomorphized versions of the game and system to explain the trick.

As both a software developer and a #gamedeveloper I feel very seen by this quote. Players don't play our #code they play our #games.

Wow @opera's setup is fire.
Should totally pitch this page for all my game tools.

This is a good way to pause in Unity, right?

Nothing can go wrong

The 2 following video clips are nearly 5 years apart.

Many supprises from #SuperScale, most #mobilegames don't last beyond 3 years and more casual game last longer.
What supprised me more was the split of studios US to UK, just given the population... It's pretty even.

To get into the industry, you do not need, prior skills - you can learn how!
There is no perfect engine, tool or art program, it is all horses for courses!
Possibly the best advice there is. Make games. Get Good.

But it's a bigger number than 5... So people (I don't know who) think, Unreal Engine 5 < Unity 6
Only reason I can think of... Marketing 😑

[Freya Holmér @FreyaHolmer]

6 is a significantly smaller number than 2023 how could they do this

There's something settling about installing an application that also gives you a nostalgia hit.

[Scott Garry Foster @RuthlessRanger]

I've been an #Obsidian user for over a year now.
It's the best documentation and note taking application I've used for side projects.
If you've never heard of it, this video does a great job of explaining why:
