Thank goodness for tutorials like gamedev-resources.com/create-an-in-g…. One well-written tutorial can save another person hours of headache and confusion. Inventory system is starting to take shape!

Just realized the Unity "UI Toolkit" is more than just the UI Builder. The code samples are pretty helpful, although I wish there were more samples.

I can't help but imagine a future where AI begins generating its own code and eventually becomes too complex for humans to understand. At that point the AI domination is inevitable.

Possible future: Person-specific content generation. Imagine a book that's not just "How to make a million dollars", but "How Bob can make a million dollars in X, Illinois" and is perfectly customized to Bob's life. AI is unlocking a whole new set of possibilities.

Is it just me or are the Unity docs pretty terrible? Like the description for methods is this. No examples, no context, just a one-sentence description as if that's all you need to use it.

I never realized Unity had so many no/low-code features. If you're nervous to start game/AR/VR dev, it's probably not as bad as you think.

Ok no idea why there's a scroll bar, why the buttons are so small, and why everything looks so weird. But it's progress...I guess 😜

The only way to make remote work stick is better VR tech. * Spend less time getting ready (clothes, hair, lunch) * No commute * Still able to whiteboard things 'in person' * Still able to have 'hallway' conversations Employers and employees all win.

The trifecta of future communication: 1. Holograms - will replace a lot of the AR use cases today. 2. AR - where holograms aren't feasible (a message meant for one person, google maps) 3. VR - totally immersive experiences. Games, concerts, sports, work, travel, etc.

I haven't gotten into all the AI hype lately but reading through some of the recent Bing AI stuff gives me chills. I mean, this is creepy, right? simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bi…

Fun is underrated when it comes to building a business. When you're busy with work, kids, school, etc. - sometimes fun is the only thing pushing you to put in the extra half hour of effort.

You don't need to build an AR/VR product to take advantage of the industry growth over the next decade. Here are some industry-adjacent ideas: * App hosting * AR/VR dev training * AR/VR job board * Business consulting Industry growth == Opportunities.

Interested in learning AR? I condensed my first week of learning Unity and the AR equivalent of "Hello World!" into a roadmap you could do in a day! Happy to answer any questions! themetacheck.substack.com/p/unity-roadma…
