With Unity recently announcing Unity 6 and the release of ECS 1.0, there's been a surge of discussion about DOTS, the readiness of ECS for production, and whether any of it is right for your project. If you find all the technical chatter overwhelming, you're not alone. In this article, I aim to demystify these technologies. By the end, you should have a clear understanding of DOTS and ECS to help answer your key questions. What are your thoughts on DOTS and ECS?

Meta just unveiled what might be the holy grail of mixed reality hardware - Orion. It's the near-culmination of years of R&D, and is incredible piece of technology. While its not a production device yet, it's as close as we've gotten to the ultimate AR/VR form factor. It's remarkable to see that it can not only be controlled by voice and hand tracking, but neural inputs as well - thanks to a wristband (as a result of their acquisition of CTRL-Labs). I am so excited for when they start shipping dev kits for this (which wasnt announced). This feels like the platform of the future, and I can't wait to build for it - this will be the platform my children use in their every day lives, after all. What are some interesting use cases you can see Orion being used for? #mixedreality #metaconnect2024 #spatialcomputing #arvr #virtualreality #augementedreality Meta

Steve Lejeune of Evil Empire uses a Stream Deck for game capture to quickly and efficiently punch in debug options literally with the press of a button! He showed me how in this video collab which will make you want to talk to your programmers and get a Stream Deck (or similar competing device) #gamecapture #gametrailers #gametrailer #gamemarketing

Jon Jordan with a good read on how value accrues on TON vs Ronin. On both so far, game app tokens are down since launch while the chain's own tokens have benefitted. Interestingly on Ronin, SLP (the Axie token) continues to perform much better than RON (the chain token). I think there's a STRONG argument that game tokens are launching too soon, or in the wrong way, and that both chains and games might be better off to drive their own ecosystem tokens vs launching their own. Of course, this undercuts a lot of the rationale for founders in doing web3 in the first place - they want token exits. But right now its value extractive for game token investors, and they are figuring that out, hence the better performance for ecosystem tokens.

Atlast All those files got Copied last year 😀😃. Over the past two decades, technology has advanced remarkably, transforming how we store and transfer data. Twenty years ago, copying files often involved lengthy processes, such as using floppy disks, CDs, magnetic disks, or early hard disk drives (HDDs), which operated at much slower speeds. Older operating systems like Windows 95 or early Linux distributions, for instance, had limited file systems ( FAT16 or FAT32), which further constrained data copying speeds, making it a lengthy process. File transfers on these systems could take several minutes or hours, depending on file size. As technology evolved, so did operating systems. Modern operating systems like Windows 10, macOS, and Linux now utilize advanced file systems (NTFS, APFS, and ext4), which optimize data transfer speeds. Combined with faster hardware, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and high-speed USB or Thunderbolt interfaces, data copying is often near-instant. Today, copying large files on SSDs and through cloud services happens in seconds, a far cry from the slow copying times of the past. This rapid evolution highlights the patience and adaptability of the older generation, who navigated these slower, more cumbersome technologies with resilience. Their experiences shaped a deep appreciation for the convenience we often take for granted today. As technology continues to evolve, it’s important to acknowledge the foundational efforts of those who adapted to earlier methods of data storage and transfer, paving the way for the seamless systems and high-speed copying we enjoy now.

I did another one of the deeper articles for PocketGamer.biz about all of the Supercell Action RPGs, (3 of those 😅) for those that like a little bit more detailed read. Its really fascinating seeing all of the iteration, especially with R.I.S.E. which is a rogue-lite with extraction elements. On the other hand, notice how Supercell is not really going for the "easy" path of making Clash of Clans 2 or Hay Day 2, which it could already, but rather trying to expand the Clash IP over different genres and sub-genres. I think we have seen a lot of diminishing returns of that "more of the same" strategy, especially with Zenless Zone Zero these days, having a rough time not only competing with its portfolio bigger brothers, but also many big Anime RPGs released this summer 😅. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gamedesign #gameindustry #mobilegames #mobilemarketing #mobileadvertising #userexperiencedesign #userexperience #gamedeveloper #games #gameart #midcore #RPG

It’s one thing to develop advanced capabilities like screen visualization understanding. It’s another thing to create actual business applications from them. The fact that it’s already at scale at the production level - with a decent and above performance - that’s groundbreaking speed for innovation-to-consumer usage shift. Forget classic data. Forget database logs. There’s another dimension of information waiting to be accessed and leveraged - visual sequence data. The pace of AI adoption is as fast as ever. This is innovation at a level we haven’t seen before https://lnkd.in/dB4-cn4j #gaming #ai

I've recently had the pleasure of working with Maximiliano on an immersive XR project, and this quote couldn’t be more fitting. XR isn't just about entertainment it's about creating immersive experiences that enhance learning, problem-solving, and skill development. We’re pushing boundaries, transforming how industries like rail and beyond approach training, safety, and operational efficiency. We should harnessing the power of XR to make learning more engaging and impactful. It’s been incredible to see how these immersive tools can be used to significantly deliver more effective training solutions. #XR #VR #FutureOfWork #Rail #RailSafety #Railways #FutureOfWork

Best practice for fighting games. Some amount of input delay added is unavoidable. Current best in class SF6 has 4-5 frames of input delay @ 60HZ. File this one under "you can't client side predict your way out of everything". https://lnkd.in/dbZsRvYK
