We were able to pay some of the team during production, but definitely some of us are pouring sweat equity into the project and have not been paid. For my part, that's meant holding down a traditional job during part of the game's

I appreciate that the article distinguishes between team sizes, and that it provides some real world examples. To add my experience, yes, I think it takes several person years to release a "serious commercial" game. Ballpark 4-8 y

"We won't go into a lot of detail" but they still expect to be paid based on the data they collect? What happens when a popular game or publisher claims they had X installs and Unity claims they had Y? Hard to imagine people

Genuine question, how is Unreal's support for: - Tilemaps generally - Tilemap with rule-based brushes - "Sprite shapes" basically free-form 2D polygon sprite created via a shape editor - 2D collision with polygon colliders (b

Didn't find this article especially helpful. Author admits to having no special knowledge so literally polls Twitter and shares the results. Doesn't really add much to the discussion. I'd really like to see how alternatives h

Then you would agree that two of the three pieces of legisliation were _not_ bipartisan, and that they should be attributed to the Democrats, correct? So your issue is just that they included the third piece of legislation in the account?
