Unless absolutely necessary to use Unity, I am/have switched to Godot.What a shame. After this game is of yours is done, do you have any thoughts of exploring Godot or Bevy? Those are free and open source game engines. I've heard soo many switched to Godot after the unity controversy.
A little explainer on "am/have" - I mess around with random small things in my spare time to keep sane. Nothing meant to be published, all just to give me something besides MGH to do all the time. So I've already cracked open Godot a handful of times and messed around with it.
