There's been so many times I've played a board game with friends only to realize that we had completely misinterpreted a rule or missed it entirely.
Or when a new member plays the same game with us, they have a very different idea of the same rule.

it took me these many builds to get what I see on itch to be the same as what I see in Unity...

Wonder if this was partly the inspiration for Velgress!?

I’ve also been struggling with the Unity UI. I wanted to use screen space overlay (can’t use camera overlay due to pixel perfect camera)and I needed the UI to be within the camera viewport.
The UI kept going outside the viewport bounds. Ended up adding a custom script to move anchor to screen corner

Ah nice. I didn’t realize you could name them manually.
Just curious: how is it that you don’t have any “scratch” projects in your editor. I have a bunch where I just try out weird ideas.
Have you hidden it?

I really enjoyed your talk at GDC and on the Decision Space podcast!
It gave me a lot to think about and I tried seeing how things in my game can be more interconnected to add depth.
I liked the idea of modular rules and will try to make a game with a focus on that :)

Nice foreshortening. I’m trying to learn it rn but it’s hard.

What’s the best place to purchase your games?
I’d love to try ALS and Hot Streak

How do you know when the structure is fundamentally flawed?
There are soooo many little knobs to turn and little changes can make a game feel very different.

I just updated Unity Hub (again) today and it seems the behavior has reverted to showing the folder name instead of the project name

You might like: “Long Story Short” from the creator of Bojack Horseman.
It jumps between a window of 40 or so years and shows how the different characters change.

Also, developing the game with the audio muted is not the best idea. But it gets pretty annoying listening to the same thing a thousand times.
Idk what's a good workaround?
Maybe a unity plugin which will randomly mute/unmute the play mode window?

Admittedly, the lighting is all over the place. Need to be more deliberate with setting a light source.

For less popular accounts like mine, if I don’t put a hashtag it doesn’t reach any relevant audience. It’s as good as shouting into the void.
