That thread is locked.
I was looking forward to some nugget of something exciting that would enhance my current project, to get me excited for Unity again, but this just isn’t it.
Anyway, tired of beating a dead horse, tired of whining and complaining and talking crap. I hope you guys at Unity find your creative spark and turn this ship around. You guys gotta get excited about this engine, think of things that are truly awesome that expand the core.
Anyway, best of luck.
Edit: Just saw David Helgason at the end. It was very candid and honest and it was good to hear some acknowledgement that things haven’t been going so great but that they’re going to at least try to get back to making good stuff.
Not sure if you guys have the guts to get back on track, but I guess we’ll see. It’s all good though, the engine as is is fantastic, still going to use it to try to make a great game and a lot of the fears about the TOS seem to be a bit stifled at least for now.
Here’s the recap of the keynote:
I have watched it live.
Seems like all Keynote content is highly focuses on mobiles and consoles.
One of talks even mentioned, certain features are already available for desktop.
So if you are targeting desktop, looks like there is little to expect from.
I suppose improved DOTS related debugging, whatever it may be.
I hoped Graph Tools Foundation will finally surface along with UVS reboot, but I guess it’s another two year wait. We’re still on them 5+ year timelines for anything Unity I guess.
Also, locking Behaviour tree functionality behind AI paywall is weird. Main competitor has them for free and I doubt the generative AI will add enough value in NPC AI context. It’s like some out of touch higherup saw LLMs called “AI” and looked at behavior trees - “this is AI too! Ship 'em together!”
There were two talks of weight here, the new CEO who said very little, only general talks of how he was happy to see passion, but nothing that ties him to what was shown today, in fact the only thing he really touched on was his relationship with the developers who use the engine. We also saw the cofounder in a somber mood, reminiscing about a better past.
This was the inevitable keynote. It would have been disastrous and just flat out mean to make massive changes directly before the big event.
Unity goes 2 ways from here. This is either the calm before a great change in culture or we lumber forward a slow death awaiting the next Engine.
This MF’r needs to come back:

nothing to tempt me back, both for personal and professional projects
