Nice set of features. Seems that Unity Engine 4 could very well rival any modern-day engine

SWEET!!! ...... how do I use it?

r214184d ago

Sooooo this is free to use right? Cause if it is, I may have something to make during months long holiday :D

ChickeyCantor4184d ago (Edited 4184d ago )

It will be free to an extend ( some features are disabled ).

Not sure how many components come right out of the box. But if you really want to build something substantial, you do need some javascript, boo or C# knowledge.

I love the fact that components are directly compiled to properties for designers to play with just by dragging and dropping it onto their objects.

Their new Animation tool looks damn delicious.

Cool, thanks for the info :D

Definitely learn Javascript for Unity development; Of the 3, it has the best balance of ease and versatility.

ChickeyCantor4184d ago (Edited 4184d ago )

@Silent,

I find C# cleaner and more typesafe. JavaScript is easy to use, but in my experience the people using it make an " easy " mess out of it.

But to each his own.

@sidar

Just so you know, I didn't disagree. Programming is very preferential. Obviously C# is a more specific language, being so related to C++ (I know C++, but I haven't really used C# in anything).

SilentNegotiator4183d ago

I'm more on the art and design end of things, so I'd rather use an easy language any day.

Unity Technologies' Field Engineer explains the performance issues of Unity 4-powered games

DSOGaming writes: "As you may already know, a lot – if not all – of games that were powered by Unity Engine 4 were plagued by performance issues, even on the PC. That something that really troubled us and according to Unity Technologies’ Field Engineer, Mathieu Muller, this was mainly because Unity Engine 4 was a single-threaded engine."

As a Unity developer working on a title right now, I truly believe that the best course of action for performance issues is to upgrade to Unity 5. Unity 4 was great for the time, but 5 really strives to put it up to par with the modern specs. In Tactics Quest Arena, the game I am working on, we have gotten it to run beautifully on mobile with no problem on almost all devices.
