Its with a heavy heart that I have to share that,
I'm leaving Unity.
I've been at Unity for 6 years, 3 years as a FTE and I'm grateful for the time I spent there despite the rough period we've had. I have the utmost respect and care for my Unity peeps and wish them well!

Monsters will be able to train up their stats with equipment you buy/upgrade in order to do tasks for the ranch.
It uses up their energy so don't overwork them to hard!

I know everyone is feeling a lot of things at the moment but people at Unity do care about game devs, creators, and everything in-between.
These amazing folks are creating and actively working on tech to improve core engine. I think we just need to work on really showing it.

Talk about your disabilities, don't hide it.
I fully embraced being open about my conditions.
Made me feel way better when speaking about it with co-workers when I'm unable to work effectively.
I've yet to have a bad interaction in my 2 years with Unity about my disabilities
I got the same advice about "don't talk about your disability struggles playing videogames, only talk about the positive"
It wasn't til I started sharing my experiences as a disabled person in the games industry that my career started taking off.
ALWAYS share your truth. Always

To be very clear.
This is not okay and completely disconnected from the many types of reasons people make games and the type of games they make.
Creators deserve nothing but respect and kindness and even in a joking matter this language and description isn't okay.

With the Gigaya and other layoffs situation and stuff like this, I don’t know man. No ammount of damage control can make me pass things like this one after another…
