@npub14w8…lm6n it is 100% a plagiarism device.
It actually got me thinking that if they actually trained this on a commercial game that wasn't open source, it would be a clear cut copyright violation.

Mono is Dead. Long live.... Wine?
Microsoft have shut down the Mono project (think .NET on everything not Windows) & transferred ownership to WineHQ.

You can now easily move assets from the Unity game engine to Unigine (@Unigine) in just seconds thanks to the new Unity Importer.
In many ways Unigine is the most Unity-like engine out there.

What game engine should I start with?
A good question since... you don't know what you don't know.
Obvious answers are #unity3d, #unrealengine or #GodotEngine.
IMHO there are better choices for beginners.

Thankfully there exists a simple add-on that makes realistic lighting in Godot a one click process.

The fallout from the Unity run-time fee disaster continues, as Unity CREATE head Marc Whitten has resigned.
Is everyone responsible for the run-time fee now gone or leaving at this point?
