DALL-E generates an image that includes kermit the frog in the background. I ask it to remove kermit the frog. I says it cannot because it violates the content policy 😦

Jason Weimann asked to interview me about Proxima Inspector, the debugging tool I created for Unity developers! I'm so happy our tools are helping real game developers build and debug their games!

#GDC2025 takeway: AI has penetrated game production pipelines.

Studios that integrate AI carefully with domain experts will make new games that were impossible before. Not just more content, but more personalized content with better representation and customized to meet player needs.

I decided my grid layout Unity should be a free package because it's useful enough by itself for many scenarios from a main menu, to a chessboard, to a grid based tactics game.

Add a debug log, make a build, add another log, make another build... better idea: Unity inspector, connected to a live game, in a web browser. Now we can properly debug mobile, VR, and WebGL builds.

We're using Proxima Inspector for Unity to debug our VR app. It lets us get logs from players who hit issues and debug gameObjects live in the headset. Some problems only appear show up when running on device.

(This video isn't the app -- it's still under wraps)
