Why using an engine ?Only one reason: focus on ideas/creativity and
less on coding
but…
Why a 3D Engine ?
Why Unity3D ?
Component basedthe behaviour pattern
The Mecanim systemanimation clips and the Animator
all is curves !
root motion available
Optimizations from the 3D world
batching (for tilemaps) occlusion culling on sprites ! auto atlasing (with tagging)
Porting all over the placeLinux, Mac and windows
XboxONE (no need to pay!) Mobile (Android and iOS)
Working on the new AppleTV
Customizing the editorautomating tasks
ad-hoc tools
TricksTextures compression
Particle collisions (fixed in 5.3 !) multiple cameras for parallax
Optimizations without metrics are no-optimizations
the profiler
Good friendsTiled
Audacity
Is it all beautiful ?too much regressions :(
totally sub-optimal input system (XInput is a good solution on windows)
a bit immature networking system (things are changing)
still too much work on custom shaders
no navigation system for 2d (unless you work in 3d-style)
personal note: they need better integration with git
Looking at…Skeletal-based animations Free Form deformations
Invest more on the new networking api Testing framework (pretty new)
The audio mixer
Special mentionThe Asset Store
ThanksQuestions ?
