In my past lives I was a physicist, science comm., digital divide fighter, and self defense teacher.
Now I'm a Unity dev w a Game Designer heart

The # of games I’ve worked on that matched the GDD by the time it was released: 0

GDDs are great for communicating to a larger team, or even for some people to help organize their thoughts.

But eventually you have to make the game, and there will be things that change.

Here's an actually decent chromatic aberration UE4 Material for objects in the scene.

One of those very important, but little and under appreciated game tech art / vfx things is pickup highlighting / shine. It’s a something I’ve taken stabs at dozens of times over my career and never really been 100% happy with what I’ve done.

[Alan Zucconi @AlanZucconi]

It is great that Unity is finally building some large-ish games! 👏

This has the potential to be one of the more exciting (and positive!) news for the gamedev folks working with the engine!

Want to make Gamers™ think you're using Unreal Engine while you're secretly using Unity? Add this prefab to your game and it'll show the iconic Unreal 'lighting needs to be rebuilt' message. It'll fool anyone!

My new C++ guide is getting large enough that I am contemplating splitting (some of) it into multiple posts or whether one mega-post is still the way to go.
