1 core, 2 cores, 4 cores, 8 cores, 16 cores! Who's got more? The more cores, the better. The Unity Job System will squeeze them all, right? Yeah, probably. But what if Unity was over-milking your CPU? Would that be a problem?

You can add text animations in your Unity games using my plugin called Text Animator. It works based on the package TextMeshPro and it shows text dynamically ( typewriter -like), includes multiple built-in text effects and lets you easily create your own text animations and text effects. Get it from the Unity Asset Store or from Itch.io. Get it on the Unity Asset Store.

Announcing Legends of Runeterra A few weeks ago, Riot Games, creators of the megahit League of Legends, announced their new card game, Legends of Runeterra as a part of their 10-year anniversary announcement (read: Riot's 7 new games are a declaration of war against Blizzard ). Riot combined a full-blown media blitz with a Twitch integration that awarded beta keys to people viewing Runeterra streams to secure approximately a zillion eyeballs on their new game for a few days.

Hello Godotters, as part of my September work (sponsored, as always, by Mozilla ) I've been working on better documentation for the Crypto class, further improving WebSocket support, and an HTTP server integrated in the editor for testing out HTML5 export builds. SSL for WebSocketServer. Thanks to the improvements to the WebSocket module over the previous months, SSL support has been added to the WebSocketServer class.

Drag Camera 2D Pro – v1.2 is now live. The newest version of DragCamera 2D pro is now live and has a completely new Camera Dolly system. The original system was simply a set of waypoints which the camera would traverse over based on the position of a tracked object(the player). This would limit the camera to straight lines between waypoints and didn’t give people enough control to create good creative output.

So a dozen years ago I wrote “hey, 4 kilobyte intros are starting to get interesting” Fast forward to 2019, and we made an attempt to make a 4KB demo with my team at work. None of us have any previous size-limited demo experience? ✅ We have no idea what the demo would be about? ✅ Does it have a high chance of being totally “not good”?

You've optimized all of the low-hanging fruits of your game. Except that you didn't. You missed a sneaky, non-so-obvious spot: optimizing your Unity Scene Hierarchy.

Update: It turns out that the update to Mono 6.x did not go as smoothly as we hoped. The Mono binaries in this beta appear not to work properly on Windows and macOS, so unless you're running Linux, it is recommended to stay with 3.2 beta 1 or compile from the master branch if you use C#. If you don't use C#, the classical build still works as usual.

It's been over 6 months since Godot 3.1.1-stable, so the upcoming 3.1.2 release is both long overdue and accordingly packed with important bug fixes and enhancements. We intended to have 3.1.x releases more regularly (every other month or so), but our release manager for the stable branches, Hein-Pieter, has been quite busy the past few months and thus less available for Godot contributions.

After three well-tested and quite stable alpha builds, we're now ready to enter the beta stage for the upcoming Godot 3.2 release.

Another month, another Vulkan progress report! October was a busy month, as most of it was split between working on the new Global Illumination system and Godotcon/GIC in Poland. Despite this, strong progress was made and the new GI system seems pretty much complete. See other articles in this Godot 4.0 Vulkan series: Vulkan progress report #1. Vulkan progress report #2.

There's been some interesting progress going on with C# over the last few months since the first progress report as part of my work sponsored by Microsoft. In this progress report I'll briefly introduce the most important improvements and additions that were made, which are support for exporting C# games to WebAssembly, an IDE extension for Visual Studio for Mac and MonoDevelop, and preliminary support for AOT compilation.
