To celebrate leaving behind Unity, the Slay the Spire devs have released a free new deckbuilding autobattler.

Last month, Unity announced changes to how it collects fees from developers, which was met with widespread backlash. While some of those changes have been walked back, Unity's CEO John Riccitiello was forced to step down after so many developers pushed back against the change. In fact, many of those developers announced that they would be leaving Unity behind to move on to new engines. One of the developers who decided to move on was Mega Crit Games, the studio behind Slay the Spire.

— Mega Crit October 16, 2023 Like Slay the Spire, Dancing Duelists is a deckbuilder, but this one incorporates autobattler elements from games like Teamfight Tactics. Mega Crit decided to build something over the last few weeks as it tried to get used to working on its"new official engine of choice." The team decided to start using Godot, which has been around since 2001 but was made available as an open-source engine in 2014.

What is the Current Situation With Unity?After the initial statement, Unity relatively quickly walked back some of the changes and tried to note that most developers wouldn't be affected by the price increases. However, that was largely met with more outrage as developers felt the company wasn't telling the whole truth. On September 22, Unity rolled back even more of the announcements, though it was a bit of too little, too late for the company.
