Hi, since you guys are preparing most of the art yourself, do you mind making a video about texture optimization?

[@sney2002]

Monodevelop was not created by unity, it is maintained by the mono project.

[@imraanakollo-arenz1449]

In terms of sound and if you're making music, I'd recommend getting a Digital Audio Workstation (or DAW) for short since you can use it to record audio/dialogue and make music at the same. Before I became a full on Studio One user, I used Reaper and I'd recommend it if you don't want to spend money. If you do, you can pay the license fee of 60 bucks but it's like WinRAR where you don't have to pay it.

[@skyecantmiss]

Reaper is good if you wanna spend time learning it, Ableton i would rather reccommend if you wanna spend less time learning and more creating (although it is like 3 times the price of Reaper)

[@imraanakollo-arenz1449]

@@skyecantmiss fair enough. Reaper does have a learning curve but once you got that out of the way it's sort of smooth sailing. I mainly recommended it since people might not have the biggest budgets but they can get something free and has a good amount of community support. Personally if you can throw some money away I'd go Studio One. I tried it and fell in love with it. When I get some decent cash, I'd love to get the full version of it

[@skyecantmiss]

@@imraanakollo-arenz1449 Ah, if Reaper has endless community support then thats way better! Ableton has forums but from what ive seen are pretty scarce in terms of details :)

[@Youngy365]

I’m a graphic designer for my day job so I’m in photoshop a lot and very familiar with it… but I hate using it for pixel art. I find Aesprite is so much nicer and quicker to use for that style

[@Pandiculate_]

Codecks is so clean and useful. Really helped manage dev ideas and progress!

[@SlimeShisho]

You can get Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro x and the other Apple apps in a $200 education bundle and you don't have to be a student

[@jumpkut]

Wow, codecks looks great. Will def have a look. Thanks dad!

[@sasquatchbgames]

you're welcome son

[@danny-expand]

Great vid! Hope guys you're doing well. Btw, how's your progress?

[@Dude_Slick]

Every time you say re-zource it goes right through me.

[@kenktheGD]

Ah I have the 2060 version of that nitro. Not a bad machine but mushy keyboard.

[@MansonMamaril]

I pronounce it as "who - yawn"... :)

[@masoudmousavi923]

How about ur keyboard?😁seems powerful !

[@RTSun-lx7ee]

I use Unreal Engine, Emacs and Linux...or MacOS. These allow me to utilize my C++ and open source toolchain exprience.
My project can be ported easily between Linux & MacOS without a hitch. And I wouldn't doubt it can be ported as easily when it's releasing for win32.

[@jamiefurey564]

Procreate is good for the Art

[@Volt-Eye.]

Wait Isn't Photoshop free ?
🤨🤨🤨🤨 🤔🤔🤔

[@skyecantmiss]

No

[@micaiahstevens8840]

They should come out with a Photoshop light version, get more customers

[@wh1tesnakesleague669]

First here

[@Coco-gg5vp]

[@mikhailhumphries]

Vscode looks much nicer
