I’d recommend using Godot
- Free Open Source Game Engine under the MIT License
It doesn’t have the meta SDK for VR :(
We’ve all moved on to Godot.
Thank the gods for Godot, because without it, everyone would have been screwed.
The “problem” is that Godot is very much geared more toward 2d and lighter 3d games. Whereas Unity was in a great middle area where you could do A and even AA games that held their own.
With Unity basically dead we have seen an increasing shift toward Unreal for anything where visual fidelity “matters” and Godot for the rest. Which is awesome but it also has led to an increasing amount of “Just learn Unreal”
Also: Fuck the gods. Thank the people who actually are working their asses off on Godot and have been for years https://fund.godotengine.org/
Kronos’s openXR is looking great on Godot. They’re making good choices and it’s advancing rapidly on the fronts I care about.
Nah there’s loads out there or we’d just go back to the good ol C++ days
Make everything a half life mod again ❤️
Ive seen some genuinely impressive GoldSource mods pop up in recent years.
I should check those out! I really miss those days. Playing the Vampire slayer mod. The Specialists, Sven co-op, Brain bread, even the silly minigames in counter strike 1.6.
I LOVED the minigames where it was knife only and there were these janky-ass vehicles. I found a screenshot of the map actually:
I miss these times so much. I know there is minigames in csgo, but its mostly just the jail and zombie escape ones.
In counterstrike source there were zombie survival maps where you had unlimited ammo and could shoot props such as couches infront of doorways to kind of block yourself in. I would hide in the vents and shoot a couch into it. Then go in it myself and they would only be able to attack from the front because the couch would block my back.
Absolutely lovely times ❤️
There’s definitely something special about that era of games. The community would really shine and make creative stuff with relatively limited tech.

This is the mod that’s blown me away the most. They somehow made the limitations of the Goldsource engine look stylish, all the while having some incredible animations and model design. Unfortunately development is temporarily paused but hopefully they pick it up again soon.
Exactly this!!
A little too late… We all went to Godot
You could just not use Unity
“Hikes Subscriptions” - A bit sensationalist.
A ~7% increase from $2040 to $2200 for a single yearly seat isn’t exactly a price hike, its barely a price walk. Even the Enterprise level, which increases by 25% (but is negotiable) isn’t that big of a jump when you put it into perspective.
Unity Pro yearly seats only need to be purchased if your game makes more than $200k in revenue (was previously $100k). If you made that much, you can most likely afford the $2200 per seat.
Unity Enterprise requires $25 MILLION in revenue. If you’re making that much money you can absolutely afford a 25% price increase on your Unity license.
Yeah, the price hike is fair, I don’t think any developer has any problem with that.
The problem is that they broke the trust of developers, and I don’t think that they’ll ever recoup from that.
This is like the 4th major time they’ve broken the trust of developers. They’re still a titan, and will continue to be for some reason.
“It’s all I know” 🎉 Just inertia.
If I were to lose 25% of my profits to a price hike, our business would suffer. As would all of us in the business. The stress would be real.
To those businesses that can absorb a 25% increase, and the staff are not hurt, and be OK that’s great.
This wouldn’t be 25% of your profit, it’s just increasing one of your expenses by 25%.
It looks like it’s going up to $3000.Edit: Enterprise price is negotiated with each company, so there’s not a set subscription price. But it’s still just the price of one expense, not a portion of total profits.
You aren’t losing 25% profit. The cost of your Unity Enterprise license that you pay once each year would increase by 25%. For ease of understanding, if your license previously cost you $100, now it would cost you $125. However, Unity has stated that this is negotiable and does not have a fixed price. It is possible that this price is calculated with many variable including number of employees that use Unity (seats), yearly revenue and expenses, and potentially other factors as well.
And again, for Unity Enterprise you would need to make a Unity game that makes more than $25 million per year.
And I sincerely hope most of their consumers see it as a ‘Too little, too late’ act.
I mean, it only took a year…
oof. what the hell man. meanwhile I moved onto Godot and it’s pretty nifty.
Same here, Godot has been such an improvement for me
It’s too late. The trust is gone. They had a good thing and it’s over.
Unity has unified all its previous clientele.
