Ever heard that Wing Commander story where the memory extender error message was changed to "Thank you for playing Wing Commander" to conceal a crash? Well, that doesn't actually happen in any version of the game. This article gets to the bottom of the myth:

had a mini-dream last night where. you know those very high-res, high-framerate rotating rotoscoped gifs of food? i dreamt there was a "Disease" that made the food in the pictures rot and become moldy. it was a matter of international concern but also world leaders were kinda afraid to acknowledge it. it wasn't an "apocalypse" kinda mood tho, it was like. the entire world stopping wars and other stuff and just. slowly. sadly. watching the gifs, one by one, decay and rot, until there is only a stained plate rotating in place on the gif.

it was like a weird, worldwide funeral. we don't hauve them anymbore

Today I didn't have much time, but still I implemented a simple death animation for the boss 🔥 👍

Hope someone likes it! Still learning 👐

Things just got (more!) serious... @kenney has renounced their support for #Unity and will no longer endorse it. Kenney has had a profound effect on the indie community by giving many aspiring devs assets and tools to get them started, so this is pretty major IMHO. The next gen of gamedevs will be wanting access to those assets so they can just MAKE something, and Unity will no longer get that traffic. This must have been a tough decision, but I for one support it 100%.
