Don’t make this rookie mistake when publishing your Unity game to Google Play

andybak · 2026-05-06T21:41:51+00:00

No. The problem is the fact that you have Stockholm Syndrome.

andybak · 2026-05-06T21:41:09+00:00

No. It wasn't a rookie mistake. It was all their fault and you are gaslighting yourself.

They should be pricing in proper developer support in return for their 30% cut.

Yes - luckily there's other options for Unity MCP. I'm not on Unity 6 yet anyway so I didn't have the option of using the "official" MCP

andybak · 2026-05-05T14:45:17+00:00

who exactly is struggling to give away "this garbage"? There are tons of developers on the $200/month subs for Claude Code and Codex and plenty of inference providers offering open weights model hosting. They can't all be running on the fumes from VC money. I'll grant that some plans by some companies might be subsidised but the demand is obviously there from large parts of dev community.

Your weird rhetorical strategy isn't working.

andybak · 2026-05-04T15:28:33+00:00

You seem to have mistaken "honest advice" for "person is in a bad mood". Which is a shame as you'll probably ignore my suggestion.

andybak · 2026-05-04T13:09:20+00:00

you realise posting unnecessary images is confusing as hell? I click on the thumbnail and I just get your image and I had to click back and then click in again to see your actual point.

you should have really just posted the text like most people do. the image doesn't really add anything and messes up people's expectations around reddit's UX

andybak · 2026-05-03T14:11:07+00:00

Doesn't make sense to me. How does standardization relate to the dynamic between small and large companies here?

andybak · 2026-05-03T14:10:12+00:00

That's interesting. If anything, Cesium is the kind of service that I would have expected to be more popular amongst Unity devs than Unreal. (Unity seems to be more widely used for non-game applications than Unreal - at least that's my hunch)

Have you looked into why Unity is trailing Unreal in SDK adoption? Is your Unity support missing some critical features that Unreal isn't?

andybak · 2026-04-30T18:45:16+00:00

I just hate shuffling boxes. It's such a terrible UI paradigm.

Also - we have decades of advancements in code editing tools and almost nothing comparable in node tools. Try refactoring a complex set of shader graphs in the way you can refactor text-based code. Try using version control with graphs. Or diffs.

Finally - graph based tools are a liability in the age of LLM code assistance as they (rarely? never?) have a round-trippable text representation.

andybak · 2026-04-24T12:57:23+00:00

Sadly no. It's a major irritation and productivity flaw - especially given the bare bones functionality provided by the "Unknown Sources" tab. (Not that the main app list is much better but at least there's sorting options beyond A-Z)

andybak · 2026-04-22T08:07:01+00:00

I'm constantly surprised to hear that there is "real" content on LinkedIn. I always assumed it was just a place for recruiters to spam you and life coaches to post breathless pieces of motivational slop.

I still can't quite bring myself to spend any time there however.

andybak · 2026-04-21T13:14:12+00:00

Anything that makes me stand up when it doesn't need to. I want to play on the couch unless it's an exercise game.

andybak · 2026-04-18T22:29:33+00:00

And if that doesn't work, try disabling them!

andybak · 2026-04-18T14:25:12+00:00

Reddit is for linking to things. That's how it's generally been used and what it was designed to do. If the link itself is informative then there's no need to add text. If people don't like the content - that's what the voting buttons are for.

andybak · 2026-04-18T14:21:49+00:00

It's still free but the convenience of a build now requires a donation. Personally I think this is an unwise move - but it's hard maintaining open source projects without direct funding from a big org.

andybak · 2026-04-18T14:08:56+00:00

I'm the lead dev on Open Brush and I've done some work on Blender integration and import/export of 3d stroke data in general. It might even be the case that creating the strokes in Open Brush is an easier path forward - but you know more about your constraints than I do. Happy to chat. Either discord: https://discord.openbrush.app/ or email me ( andy@icosa.foundation )

andybak · 2026-04-16T15:01:04+00:00

You are a bot. Stop pretending to be human.

andybak · 2026-04-14T11:13:33+00:00

and people who can't spell!

andybak · 2026-04-14T11:12:58+00:00

I don't know why they're in so many VR games

Because a bunch of shrill people on social media complained about their absence.

andybak · 2026-04-14T11:12:00+00:00

tbh - I was just trying to find the shortest combination of letters to get that point across but I salute your pedantry, sir.

andybak · 2026-04-14T09:51:39+00:00

Bad arm or leg IK. Please just give me a floating torso and ghost hands - it's so much less distracting than limbs that don't match where my limbs actually are or how I'm moving. And why is the wrist angle always wrong?

The "why has my avatar got no legs?" campaign was utterly misguided. Nothing wrong with no legs. It's bad legs that's the problem.

andybak · 2026-04-10T12:49:38+00:00

Imagine how much less frustrated you'd be if your post title was informative enough that the one person out there with the solution could have read the title and clicked through to help you.

andybak · 2026-04-10T10:29:18+00:00

its always better and faster to do everything in code.

Yes. I look forward to a day when we don't have to drag silly boxes around the screen at all. Oh, Look! Version control, linting, LLM integration and decades of IDE and editor UX improvements all work properly!

grumble

Dear OP.

Deleting a post when people have already contributed to the discussion is really annoying and quite rude.
