indie games are safe!!
good news! unity has walked back a lot of the runtime fee!
they made a blog post outlining their new terms, the link is here. but if you want a sparknotes version, here's the highlights:
1. the runtime fee is not retroactive. previously released games are safe.
2. the fee only applies to the next major version of unity. developers can choose not to upgrade if they don't want do deal with it.
3. the fee is opt-in and number of installs is self-reported. if they'd prefer, developers can instead pay a 2.5% revenue share. (for reference, unreal is 4%.)
4. interestingly, the splash screen is being completely removed. this is probably a way to improve their reputation.
overall, this is a HUGE improvement! but, if I remember right, there was not any revenue share before, so, we are not at the same point we started. unity will still be taking a larger cut of developers' revenue if they choose to use newer features. but, it is nowhere near as drastic as we thought it would be.
overall, I think we're in a stable spot now, but I also think unity has lost most if not all of the trust it had. especially with indies. there has already been a mass exodus, and I kinda hope that will keep going.

I’ve got you
And then you take me in, and everything in me begins to feel like I belong
Like everybody needs a home
And when I take your hand, like the world has never held a man
I know I cannot heal the hurt
But I will hold you here forever
If I can, if I can

In my opinion, all the best media makes you feel like you've been picked up and thrown against a wall.

“The stars are pointing my way
From quarter of the globe away
And yet, I feel so astray
How did I get so lost?”
Thank you SO MUCH to @monoshiki, you know I black out whenever “Ephemera” and “good song” are in the same sentence, so this was born because of you!!
also—here are lyrics within the image in case you can’t read my writing:
“I've always been taught to be brave and strong
To see the hope when all feels wrong
I've always been taught not be afraid
And look, the price, the price I paid
I'm barely afloat
My sails are set
I'm coming home”

Location: Golden Hour Lounge Bar
&&: @aurorabaystarter
Lia had just begun to walk out from her set, there was something about singing in a lounge bar that had just hit her in the right way. It was something she had enjoyed doing, and something people enjoyed hearing her do also. It was a far cry away from the family's business problems and it was a wonderful way to distract herself from anything to do with familial issues at the present moment in time. Perhaps a kinder person would have stuck around to be supportive, however, Lia wanted to get out of that bar and find her way home. Lia needed the comforts of home, and by far she needed to soothe her throat, long nights of singing took a toll on her throat.
She shivered lightly as she stepped out into the cool air, rummaging through her bag for her keys. "Where the... Oh, come on you have to be kidding me!" She exclaimed, her fingers slipping through a hole at the bottom of her bag. "Fuck!"
