I have BAD NEWS. PS Vita Homebrew development is finished.

At least we got one final banger.

Not your fault bro. It def sucks though. Is there no crack or workaround online?

That really sucks. But it is what it is. At least you got most of the games finished for PS Vita.

DOG

Aw that sucks. Hope someone comes up with a solution

You're right, the fault lies with no one. So don't feel the need to blame yourself my dude.

Sorry for the bad news. Thanks for the vids.

The vita was way better than the switch even without it being able to be casted to a tv, it just plain has more features and more ambition, just was ruined by sonys greed on sd cards, the overall console and its on-board software shows alot of care and work put into it to make you feel something with its personality, im just not one to like modern minimalsitic, seems lazy, seems greedy, seems limiting artists, GAY MAKER? G aY mAkEr? WE ARE MAKING GAYS NOW LETS GOOOOOOO NO MORE GAMES

Man, Unity or PlayStation should have released a Blog post or email to devs saying that they are discontinuing licenses. Well, there are alternatives 3D engines you can get homebrew going.

Say it with me

FUCK UNITY

You need to bring Survive to the Switch, keep it alive if possible

i played your silverfalls games for the switch man you opimized this game very well nice work man!

interesting - i did not know that there is an expiration date for certain platforms

Mabe you could talk to modern vintage gamer. He has the carbon engine.

Hey man you win some you lose some. This is beyond your control and all you can do is move on. In the Army we say " Suck it up and move on"

Try godot or some other engine?

I can't believe this's even a thing

Licence expiration sucks, but I agree that it's no one's fault. Thank you for the update on things

Godot have a psVita if you want to try it out. Good luck

Unity being scummy is how I found your channel, I think.

That sucks, man. Hope hackers find a way around the requirement.

presumably you could buy a license still? or a cracked version of that editor. what version is it? youll be able to dev for the new psp soon enough :) personally id give up on vita but if u want to do it, sure find a way, gamemaker seems a bit poor compared to unity.

it is amazing how you decide not to give up, keep it up!

Yeah same ... Need new key or a hack

Damn it expired on my bday im sorry gang 😢

Dont you love white supremacy. The issue you face is deeply rooted in white supremacy and their barriers they place on software and hardware.

It's almost as bad as having an online game pulled from a store or its servers shut down like Deus Ex Go.

I am part of a discord group for ps vita homebrew devs. You could join and ask questions there

This hit me at exactly the same time! I'm ashamed to say that I resorted to a less-accepted method of getting my development ability back!

I'm sure there will be some sort of cracked version you will be able to download to continue your efforts for the PS Vita. This is rough in the meantime though... it means all homebrew is pretty much finished for PS Vita though. Dang dude, this really sucks. :(

Thank God there are tons of games in the official AND homebrew library to enjoy already. I guess it's the natural progression of things. The fact that people like yourself kept the PS Vita alive for 10+ years after Sony gave up on it only a handful of years after it's release is a feat in itself and I'd say the PS Vita had a heck of a good run.

Just keep posted on things. I'm sure the PS Vita community is going to find a work around. You could always hit up Rinnegatamante, PatnosD, and work together with those guys... they are PS Vita game creator experts and y'all can probs help each other by keeping y'all informed of the latest news and whatnot. Heck, you guys are programmers and whatnot, y'all could honestly probably create your own crack for the particular Unity version lol!

Good luck, friend! For all of us, I pray this changes someday soon because PS Vita homebrew is soooo fire. I'm pumped every time a new title, port, or emulator releases.

PS. Just a random bit of info, personally... but I honestly would've been really stoked if someone could have gotten around to porting the Android version of Resident Evil 4: Mobile, before things shut down... As far as I could tell using Rinne's Android port compatibility list, it was 100% compatible. At one point, there was even a $2000 bounty to create it. It might still be active as a bounty, and heck, I'd throw some money in the pot too if someone offered to make it. I'd say for a mobile adaptation, I played it on my buddy Matt Valencia's iPad a handful of times and it was almost as a good as Dead Space: Mobile, being a similar type of game. The latest versions of that game had the actual story-mode gameplay (with accurate gameplay and level design in comparison to the console versions, great graphics, and slideshows + subtitles in place of the cutscenes), including a "shoot the blue coins" challenge mode, AND I heard it was updated to include a fully working Mercenaries mode with a huge selection of levels and whatnot... Omg, I would trip if it was ported over. Anyways, just "putting it out there" in the world AKA "manifesting" it or whatever, lol!

Anyways, will keep my fingers crossed for a solution to all of this! God bless you brotha! :)

Also, just a bit of joking around here, but I'd bet you Sony probably called Unity and said "Yo, listen to me bro, I want you to cut support for the PS Vita RIGHT NOW! The fans of the stupid mistake of a console we created have been working hard continuing support for it AND porting over games we never imagined would've been possible on that useless brick of a device, and it's starting to make us look bad! Remember, Vita means life."

I guess crushing fan's dreams will somehow make them look better in the long-run. Yes, I know it makes no sense, but we live in "clown-world" or whatever, so it ultimately makes complete sense. Lol!

Simple answer Pirate unity

@sungrandstudios there is "UniHacker" which enables you to use it. Look it up and look up!

i know im probably late but, since i was interested in some point of expanding my usage on other engines, Clickteam Fusion 2.5, Gamemaker, Godot, umm, and now im getting a little interested into unity, and as i've heard that you can port games into the PSVITA, i was overjoyed to hear it, but seeing this now, i did kinda get worried, are there any updates about this perhaps?

dang this sucks, I was looking forward to maybe working on something on old Unity for the Vita, or maybe trying to port an Android game
I think you should definitely checkout Godot-Vita (its on 3.5), Ill try it myself as well (unless ur games are 3D im sorry im new here lol)
Ive been developing on both Unity since 2017 (besides indie indie gamedev for work right now) and Godot since 4.0

Just to clarify, despite using homebrew solutions to make my PSVita games available for free, I was a legimately registered developer for the PSVita using Unity. If anyone knows of a solution or can help make this issue known to hackers and homebrew developers who can help, that would be great for the homebrew community.
