We built a palette system for our UI and have some fun ideas for how we can use it. But now we need to decided what colours to use by default.

Finally:
If you ever see even a single error in your Editor Console that looks like `rigidbody.force assign attempt for 'Object' is not valid. Input force is { Infinity, Infinity, Infinity }.` for the love of god listen to it

6/6

I wrote this up for reddit, but maybe people here will find it interesting or helpful. We added a ramming maneuver to our deckbuilder. But it came with a nasty bug that was particularly difficult to track down due to some Unity quirks. A thread.
1/6

Takeaways:
- Bad floating point values in a Transform or RigidBody can lead to hard crashes in Unity
- Unity prevents these values from being assigned when running in Editor, but not in builds
- Always watch out for divide by zero edge cases

@GreyAlien @cmddeck 20,000 wishlists is a huge milestone. You might have a bit of hit on your hands! :-) And I'm digging the dos aesthetic.

[Erik E Johnson @erikejohnson]

@GreyAlien @cmddeck Hey Jake, nice to see you hosting this!

We got included in a Canadian Games sale, so that branding is on our page right now. Nice to get a bit of extra visibility.

Sounds like things are going really well with Forbidden Solitaire, congrats on that!

[Erik E Johnson @erikejohnson]

@Paranoyd_J0 Hopefully that gives you a starting point. Good luck with your project!

[Erik E Johnson @erikejohnson]

@Paranoyd_J0 Instead, you need to look at all the other releases in the genre from recent years. Can you find moderately successful releases? Can you find well-made games with very few reviews? These are the games you need to study to get an idea of how difficult it is to succeed in a genre.

@larsiusprime I am so very sorry Lars. Thank you for writing this.

[Erik E Johnson @erikejohnson]

@Kyle_Itzy I'm sorry to hear that Kyle. It's hard to say goodbye to a pet. I bet she had a great 19 years.

[Erik E Johnson @erikejohnson]

@retroscifiart It does have strong DiFate vibes. But the spherical ship modules and tiny astronauts make me think Ellis is probably correct.
