  • It depends on how fancy of a website you are trying to make. But check out something like Hugo or Jekyll. I haven’t used Jekyll personally but have used Hugo. There are plenty of templates to get you started depending the type of content you are planning on putting up.

    And the best part is you can host the site for free on GitHub or Gitlab, so the domain name is the only cost.

    From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes a genre-defying experience, now expanded in this definitive DIRECTOR’S CUT.

    In the future, a mysterious event known as the Death Stranding has opened a doorway between the living and the dead, leading to grotesque creatures from the afterlife roaming the fallen world marred by a desolate society.

    As Sam Bridges, your mission is to deliver hope to humanity by connecting the last survivors of a decimated America.

    Can you reunite the shattered world, one step at a time?

    The iOS version of “DEATHSTRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT” is cross-platform compatible, allowing the same user to share save data and play between iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

    Hello everyone!

    It’s been a while. I hope you are all well.

    Unity has recently taken some actions to change their pricing policy that I - like most of the community - do not condone in any way.

    I have been using Unity for more than 10 years and the product has been very important to me. However, Unity is a public company. Unfortunately that means that it has to serve shareholder interests. Sometimes those interests align with what is best for the developers and sometimes they do not. While this has been the case for a while, these recent developments have made it increasingly clear.

    Unity has pulled back on the first version of their new pricing policy and made some changes to make it less harmful to small studios, but it is important to remember that the realities of a public company are not going to change.

    Luckily, there are other ways of structuring the development of software. Instead of a company owning and controlling software with a private code base, software can be open source (with a public code base that anyone can contribute to) and publicly owned. Blender - a stable 3D modelling software in the game dev community - is free and open source. In fact some of the largest and most advanced software in the world is built on top of open source technology like Linux.

    The purpose of this post is not to denounce Unity because of a misstep, to criticise any of its employees or to tell anyone to “jump ship”. Instead I want to highlight the systematic issue of organizing large software projects under a public company and to let you know that there are alternatives.

    I believe that the way to a stronger and more healthy game dev community is through software created by the community for the community. Software that is open source, democratically owned and community funded.

    Many of you have been asking for us to produce new tutorial series on alternative engines such as Godot, which is currently the most advanced open source and community funded game engine. I don’t know yet if this is something that we can realise and when.

    I can only say that I have started learning Godot.

    Best of luck to all of you with your games, no matter what engine they might be built on!

    Sincerely,

    Asbjern Thirslund - Brackeys
