I got the #switch2 mostly for playing my old unfinished Switch 1 titles at a better resolution and 60fps framerate, especially Zelda #totk and it's doing well in that regard. #gaming 🧵 1/3

While I have successfully managed a #selfhosted GitLab with automatic CI/CD for #Unity game builds, I realized the whole signing/notarization process is only possible on a Mac, so the dream of the one CI/CD to rule them all is suddenly out of reach again.

Worst thing about part-time gamedev: forgetting what you've done last time and then having to figure out your own shit. #gamedev

So I tried a dual monitor setup for #gamedev with a big central horizontal monitor and a vertical one for code. At a 16:9 ratio, the vertical monitor was just too thin for me. I'm back at a dual same-size 16:9 setup, #Unity on the left, editor (#Rider) on the right.

If we boil down Gamedevelopment to the core, it's about getting players into a perpetual flow-state. Slowly rising challenge, always at the edge of the attainable. If it's too easy, players are bored. If it's too difficult, they get frustrated. #gamedev

So another #Unity #ScriptableObjects realization: If you clone a ScriptableObject for and later Destroy() it, it might still stick around before being garbage collected. Instead of cloning the object for runtime data, I ended up using a regular C# object.
