It's official! My first solo project since quitting my job is launching later this year. I designed Fruit Ninja & Jetpack Joyride, but solo dev is new to me. Feed the Deep is a lovecraftian deep sea roguelike. Feed the eldritch horrors that dwell below, before they feed on you.

I've seen some confusion over the new Unity Runtime Fee pricing. The tiers that reduce the fee-per-install are calculated on a monthly basis, NOT lifetime. So unless you're getting over 100,000 installs *per month*, each one will be at the most expensive tier. It's bad.

It's hard to emphasize just how much this new pricing change will destroy whatever brand loyalty or goodwill Unity had left. How can you trust a company that is willing to completely change the revenue model for *existing* games that were built with prior versions of the engine?

Unity's new Runtime Fee is a complete joke. Even their example calculation shows a game with $2 million in revenue having to pay Unity $282k per year, or 14% of revenue. And that's on top of the $2000/seat/year Unity Pro license cost.

During Ludum Dare #52 we went to my summer house with @freeek323 @LokimanSK and @hrincarp and worked on a platformer game. Unfortunately we couldn't finish it to the state I would be happy about. So I spent few more evenings on it and here it is. split82.itch.io/last-harvest

RIP Overwatch 1, it was a good six years! I’m looking forward to OW2, but I’ve gotta admit I’m pretty annoyed with the new SMS requirement. It means my kids won’t be able to play Overwatch at all despite them each buying it only a few months ago.
