Official Furioos purchase change announcement

This looks like an interesting option to have to showcase 3D environments and options. I've tested a couple of demos from that website. using keyboard arrows for navigation instead of WASD was a standard in the 90s. people under 30 don't know that this is an option. I bet people just open the demo move the mouse around and then close the demo. Minor annoyance just to top the keyboard controls, why invert the mouse look axis?

 

Could be the industrial aim of this. At work (car industry) we have a 3D data visualization software where controls are inverted and there's no direct movement with keyboard at all (some keys only influence how mouse movement is interpreted.). WASD is "gamer thing".

 

no, there is movement in the demos, just try using the arrows, is not a VR image, yes it is a poor attempt on recreating first person movement.

For unity to leave the implementation of a paid product demos to someone that have no idea of unity base functionality is amazing.

The person that created the demos could had just took the controller from the HDRP template and be done for it. the one with the green leaves in the glass and wood floor. if he wanted the arrows movement also just add them as input together with the wasd

 

you know this is a textbook example of why unity lost three quarters of their share values and is now on brink of bankruptcy. how can someone from a company that makes a game engine for games where WASD is one of the standards (on PC), can come up and say that is not a standard is amazing.

just look at some basic unity tutorial made by unity itself, is not something I've invented myself right now:

you use the input package to define sets of controls depending of the platform the content is viewed on. This works on mobile? great, you have the mobile inputs. user opened this on PC? you add WASD and arrows and if you really want you add the numpads. even better you can also include controller support, why not after all, that is the point of the input system, to detach the game functionality, the movement from the various input types. there are other PC games standards? Ok, maybe there are in China or somwhere that I'm not familiar with, you add those also to the input system.

That is because you want to showcase the power of unity to work remotely similar with how google stadia works. And you want user to pay with money for this service.

You know what happens with your demo for a percentage of your potential customers? They rotate the camera around, think is some sort of VR setup, wonder why they need to pay for this when they could use youtube or something and move on. It happened to me, and I was puzzled and then, because I have nothing else better to do, I've tried to figure out what that was all about, found the arrows movement, ah wait this is like stadia, interesting.

 

Stop making things up, dude.

 

last time I've checked the unity market share price is abysmal, they have fired a good chunk of their work force and they don't have enough revenue to please shareholders and keep the remaining workforce for too long.

IF they go bankrupt or not remains to be seen, but that they are on the brink of bankruptcy that is a fact.

 

5% of workforce. That may be a chunk, but an act of desperation would certainly be something different...
