Been kinda quiet

Been working through the Unity tutorials for the past little while. It's actually not that bad once you get to the scripting, although I'm still not exactly sold on using C#. It's easy enough to use though, which is nice.

Although considering that Epic just made UE4 free, I don't see much of a point to go back to Unity right now. Except for the part where the engine makes my laptop cry. Trying to run that Elemental demo? Dips all the way to the low teens. Going to keep at it though. There are tutorials to go through, forum posts to be read, and source code to understand! ...And maybe waiting on DX12 and Vulkan support as well. GDC is on, so time to check out their presentations! Interesting that Unity 5 has a "Personal Edition"... More stuff to check out.

Interestingly, Autodesk is showing off their game engine. Stingray.

ETA: No noise concerning Autodesk... Wonder what's up. In other news... HOLY HELL SOURCE 2.
