has anyone made a drop in, performant CPU particle system replacement for Unity? I just see people using Shuriken or VFX Graph. Considering just rolling my own for our next project but figured I'd see if there's anything Good out there

Playing around more with the Donut County vibes - but this time you have both a portable hole and a portable mound. And the hole grows bigger when it consumes cubes, because that's what holes do (obviously).

have we cured cancer yet

The reason we need better software isn’t just to "shave milliseconds". When a simple build takes minutes, the cost of iteration rewires your brain. You stop exploring ideas and start avoiding them. And that’s fatal, because iteration is the essence of invention. Slow tools

The fact that this post can even be engagement bait, lol The post-AI programmer brain atrophy is so real

every video game needs a photo mode

Ok sure but it's disingenuous to give people outwardly caveat-free tools like nanite or lumen or tbh blueprints and then act surprised when the resulting software runs poorly Optimization is primarily the job of the engine devs as it starts with them

how many cigarettes is biking 5 miles in 180 AQI equivalent to?

it's really funny to me that people are complaining about how annoying the traffic is in our cycling game lol

i feel like learning rust must feel a lot like learning magic the gathering

hey y'all, I've been less active on social media for some time now but the game I've been pouring my soul into for the past four years is out today. It would mean so much for me for you to play it

I can't believe Wheel World is out tomorrow. 4 years. Afraid/excited for everyone to play it and afraid/excited for the next chapter of my career

less than a week left until you can save Wheel World from collapse https://t.co/iYd9RGJOqN
