If you aren't smart enough to do the math for how inconsequential this fee is, then you shouldn't be making video games and I'm glad you're abandoning your shitty projects
>BUT WHAT IF 1M+ $0.02 INSTALLS?!
even F2P games are exempt because they have to make at least $200k before any of the new fees kick in. modern game devs, as exemplified by their recent work, are fucking shitters that should die off or go mine coal.
There's absolutely nothing about this game's presentation that makes it look interesting or stand out. Looks like those mobile games you see in-game ads for. Also those level designs look like a mess.
LMFAO >we made some mistakes a blew $300k
reminds me of that garden gnomestarter that ultimately admitted they used the funds for hookers wanna blow instead of making the game.
>even F2P games are exempt because they have to make at least $200k
even older releases/long tail games are exempt since it's $200k in the last 12 months.
This really only affects the fatcats and even then it's a small (less than 5%) royalty
The real issue is altering the terms of a contract that's already signed, that's it.
>The real issue is altering the terms of a contract that's already signed, that's it.
that's a pretty big it, and even bigger when it comes from a company that's pulled the shit its pulled in the past few years
The fact that it is possible to owe Unity more than your total revenue shows how ridiculous this fee is, regardless of many games being below the threshold.
Unreal is literally free unity marketer, they only bother to charge you if you make over a million sales, most small games will never make that threshold even over time, Unlike unity's threshold

Unity is still the best indie game engine. Developers with 10+ years in the ecosystem are not going to jump ship to a FOSS prototype like Godot, no matter how many youtuber nodevs virtue signal on twitter.
Overgrowth is one of the most prolific "hand made" 3D indie games that actually finished. It took over 9 years to release with experienced developers and is not even especially complex by modern standards. You are asking for every game to require a decade+ of dev time (with barebones graphics and feature sets) just so you can sniff your own ass about le real coders from the le good old days.
Godot is better suited for specific cases. You should go for unreal if you seek performance, if anything, you were retarded for even trying unity to begin with.

I think im going to find a round about way to sell my game so i dont get garden gnomeed, but im sticking with Unity only because the amount of documentation it has for making games.

I too enjoy the "just trust me bro" style of accounting.

Everyone's a temporarily embarrassed millionaire in the gamedev world.
The reality looks more like...
Which game?
looks like slop
That's a 2007 flash game with better graphics. How did they waste 300k?
diversity hires probably
You're so fucking stupid it's unreal.
t. DooDoo Sudios
This looks like shit that I won't even bother pirating.
Holy shit that hook is awful.

I work in software, which makes me more than qualified to know how delusional the average indie dev is
Yep, and my dad works at Nintendo.

Is this the damage control thread or the contrarian thread, cant tell anymore.
contarian
it's the controllian thread
Hate those fuckers.
>this is what counts for counter-memery
lol
lmao
bait or not have a nice day
Enjoy going broke then when I pirate your game and spoof installs
Based. Unreal Engine would charge you an average of 15x times of what Unity would ever charge you.

Hi Epic shill, 5¢ has been credited to your Epic Games Store® account.
>Accuses ME of being a marketer
lel, enjoy your falling engine. Nobody besides the biggest cucks and companies will use your shit engine now
post game
Not a game dev unity pajeet, enjoy being out of work when no studio wants to use unity anymore
sir please take your meds sir
Good morning sir
Based. I'm going to install your game (few times).

jooish

Ganker is one of the last few free websites and it's been confirmed multiple times it bleeds money.
passes don't cut it. At some point some kind of monetization like that will come around
>Ganker is one of the last few free websites

>Jumping from a shit engine to another shit
Your mistake is using pre made engines in first place.
Overgrowth is one of the most prolific "hand made" 3D indie games that actually finished. It took over 9 years to release with experienced developers and is not even especially complex by modern standards. You are asking for every game to require a decade+ of dev time (with barebones graphics and feature sets) just so you can sniff your own ass about le real coders from the le good old days.
Not your own engine = not your game
Simple as that. Or you can back to east garden gnomenity's shit.
Damn guess I have to start hating Deus Ex because it's an Unreal game now...
>Not your own engine = not your game
LOL
just take the game assets and reassemble them elsewhere, bro.
the biggest retard in the whole thread
I will still use unity for now
but I hope this whole situation has pissed off enough devs to focus on making a proper unity replacement
godot is shit and should never be recommended, I need something that gives me access to my computer's power
Godot is better suited for specific cases. You should go for unreal if you seek performance, if anything, you were retarded for even trying unity to begin with.
urp performs best and gives decent image quality, I will stick with that
even hdrp isn't far off from unreal
stop defending these garden gnomes
I havent raised my eyebrows like this since that one time in 2001
>if you're from china then you are good cuz of Unity China regional branch is a separate entity from Unity Technologies (CEO former EA)
>if you're outside china then you're fucked
just raise your game's price by 0.20
an install?
Considering that there are steam cuts, it will need to be a bit higher.
You're ignoring the core problem which is insane telemetry built into Unity you can't disable.
>wanting people to boycott your game not on merits of your game but only because of the engine you chose to use
hilarious OP
absolutely hilarious

keep thinking that stupid game dev
it's only your livelihood hanging in the balance

See two signatures from Godot, is that the connection?

Cope.

Don't forget guys, all you need to do to solve the problem is do this.
>DONT CARE STILL OBEYING MY gnomish MASTERS
good goy
damn unity shills on the board too
Don't care already uninstalled Genshin (pay pig player btw) and sent a message of protest to customer support.
Poor Owlcat.
I know the Pathfinder games are Unity, is the upcoming Rogue Trader also Unity?
yes
it's fucking over 40kbros
Shalom
This but unironically. Unity is the ONLY real choice for indie devs.
I will now install your game (100,000 times)
I think im going to find a round about way to sell my game so i dont get garden gnomeed, but im sticking with Unity only because the amount of documentation it has for making games.
Come home.
https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.2/en-US/unreal-engine-for-unity-developers/
Thanks. Ill be making moves to jump ship, but im keeping an old build of unity i have running since it can make games for my psvita.
I want to use unreal engine but you have to use epic store to launch the damn thing and it's so damn buggy on my computer.
OP here. Just wanted to add that I'm trans, btw.
>re-re-re-re-re-installs your game
nothing personel
Write your own engine.
>don't care still eating dicks
write your own code white man
Which of Unity's three conflicting UI solutions did you use to conjure up that image?
Just installed, pay up OP
Sure, if you enjoy being a cuck and flaunting it it really is that simple.
Post your game, so I can install it as many times as I want...
