Why does the new Unity Hub think that we want it to install some random Unity version we don't need? 🤔

Heading to GDC 2026 as an @Xsolla Scholarship recipient! Can't wait to represent @DynamicboxS and our game "Madness Afloat" in SF.

We've decided to brand our Steam news thumbnails. Which one do you prefer and why?

[WIP] The Port, your central hub in Madness Afloat, is slowly coming to life. Most of the core functionality is already there, the ambiance will get better over upcoming weeks.

We've been silent for too long. Will try to share stuff from our game. It's a #lovecraftian naval action game, where events are taking place in #Polynesia.

Attached is a character from the game (WIP), along with concept art for him.

Is the logic behind renaming Twitter to X simply to get back at Google for its parent company ABC (Alphabet)? So Twitter is going for XYZ?

Every time I create a build target in Unity DevOps (previously Cloud Build) and start a build, I get a feeling that it will get stuck and will keep running for hours. Perhaps it isn't a common thing, just happened a few times to me, so 1st build is painful.

What is your position about a DLC being nominated for the "Game of the Year"?

Follow PlayFab documentation:

Just instead of:
request.DeviceToken = System.BitConverter.ToString(token).Replace("-", "").ToLower();

Do (aka use the token you retrieved in advance):
request.DeviceToken = pushToken;

Had to fix iOS Push Notifications issue in Unity 6 project that relies on PlayFab today. Notifications were landing fine on Android, but not being fired on iOS. Needless to say PlayFab documentation requires an update.

Decided to share the steps to get it running 🧵

[Sahin Aliyev @mechaniqe]

Register for Push Notifications, a sample script is provided here:

You'll be able to use "pushToken" retrieved here in the next step.
