I need to look at UE a lot more seriously, sounds like.
Kai got the *exact same emails*.https://twitter.com/KaiClavier/status/1019003728265924608 …
Note: I did reply, but would like to send this to a manager of some kind. The Unity website’s contact page has no avenue for for this kind of thing. Can anyone DM me an email address I can send this to?
To clarify: I’m a freelance game artist. I (barely) make games as a hobby. I started my 1st game 4 years ago & it’s still not finished. It’s on Itch, for free. I don’t make *any* money from games.
Update: 2 formal apology emails from 2 different sales managers at @unity3d, so that’s a start.
For transparency, here's the email exchange with Calvin from Unity, including my response (posted with permission). I didn't include the other initial email I got from the GM, as it was pretty boilerplate.pic.twitter.com/d8ckv9DYZo
Make of it what you will. Apparently this whole fiasco "caused a lot of discussion" within Unity. The proof will be in the pudding, as they say; if anything actually changes.
For myself I'm still going to be pursuing UE4, as the entire thing still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Go with UE. The last enterprise call I had with them, they were literally so chill and accommodating in general. Up to their GMs they make time to chat with you.
I definitely need to look into it. I'm so small-scale, and have hardly any time for gamedev, it's tough for me to learn a whole new engine... but this is nonsense. Probably worthwhile to switch.
@weheartgames Go with @UnrealEngine you will not regret it at all. The community is awesome and super chill as well. Also Join the @unrealslackers discord :)
I started to look at it a while ago but didn’t give it enough of a chance. Will have t try again.
@weheartgames and If you need any help with learning UE4. Let me or anyone in @unrealslackers know, They can help out :)
What would be a good project-based tutorial to get started with?
@weheartgames Are you a programmer or are you an artist? Because there are two very different answers that I would give depending on your skill set.
I'm an artist that has started to sort of learn programming (just by doing Unity tutorials). So yeah, artist by trade, who'd like to learn more coding.
..wanted to apologise for the experience you've been having and promise we'll look into it today. As you'll note from the email those sending are US based, so it may take a few hours, but we'll get back to you ASAP.
Thanks, Will! I’d be very curious to know how my account could have gotten flagged. I make no money from games. Also the whole “found you on LinkedIn” thing makes *everything* after it so disingenuous. Not a great way to treat hobbyist customers.
It would have taken someone 10 minutes of looking at my online presence to know I’m not making money from games. There should be some kind of policy on doing actual research before firing off an email like that. :(
Yes I agree, real talk it's not a part of our company i'm too familiar with but I'll be finding out how we approach this, hopefully it's not automated poorly, we will see. In the meantime, those minifigs are ace. That's what I found in my 10 seconds of looking ;)
Ah haha well thanks! Just a fun side project. I sure like making them. :)
