About Unity

Unity is an application development software designed to help businesses create and run 2D and 3D games. The platform enables administrators to collaborate with colleagues and gain real-time insights into player behavior.

Managers can visualize product concepts to create and publish augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications using computer-aided design (CAD) assemblies and other 3D data. Additionally, Unity allows teams to prototype, test and visualize applications using WYSIWYG editor.

Unity lets businesses integrate the system with several third-party applications including Slack, Discord and Jira. ?Pricing is based on monthly and annual subscriptions and support is extended via FAQs, knowledge base, forum and an online contact form

Pros:

Games built on Unity can be exported for Windows, Linux, OSx, iOS, Android, Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and popular AR and VR devices. Comes with a real-time 3D rendering capability and supports programing on C#. There is a free version for individuals and students making it more accessible to the starters.

Cons:

Features like render textures and stencil buffer support are expensive. Difficult to optimize large games for performance. The longer learning curve with an old-fashioned user interface.

Reasons for choosing Unity

We choose Unity over its alternative for its export capabilities, cheaper pricing, and availability of free personal licenses.

Reasons for switching to Unity

Because with Unity we are able to export the game for all major platforms and devices.

Pros:

Good integration, between drag and drop and manual coding is really useful and make implementing stuff much easy and fast. Learning curve also not too bad, an hour of basic feature tutorial and you can start using it.

Cons:

For coding process, we need to use external IDE, which is a bit heavy for low end pc, I hope they able to make their own in Unity IDE so editing code process is much faster and using less memory.

Unity's for you!

I love it and use it daily to work on my own game. I have been with Unity for 4 years now and it's an amazing engine and getting better by the day. It's so easy a lot of people flip game/apps with how easy to use. I don't endorse that but it gives you an idea of how easy anyone can pick it up and build something.

Pros:

Unity is one of the most easiest engines to use if you're starting with game development. Also if you previously have a C# background, it will be a breeze. The UI is simple but that can also be one it's downfalls. It's a lot inspector/tabs based but it's full-fledged. It's light and it's not as complex to work with like other engines. You can easily follow tutorials online to build games for it, and also Unity it's one of the best engines to build mobiles games if that's one of your desires. Compared to other engines like Unreal Engine, it's easy with Unity to find online support or groups of people that work with the engine and have tutorials. You can look for people on Youtube like Brackeys that can help you get started on your journey of game dev. Unity is free and has some paid tiers that offer a bit more flexibilities in some features, so look at them and take what you need.

Cons:

I wish the paid tiers were a little cheaper and the subscription model could be month-to-month and can be canceled any time. One of the main reasons why I haven't got Unity Pro/Plus it's because my life cna be abrupt a lot of the times and I might need to cancel or pause the subscription, but they don't allow you to do that. Becuase if you're an indy dev, you have to do a lot of expenses and keep track of things. I really wish they did that. Also for full 3D games and really complex ones, Unreal engine is more powerful due to it's C++ nature.

Reasons for choosing Unity

C# coding, price tiers and community support.

Reasons for switching to Unity

Scope for my project and simplicity of what I was going to do. Also knowing C#.

Pros:

The collaboration tool offered by unity is the best thing about it we can easily collaborate with other developers on the same project with the pro version of it. The Unity asset store is another amazing thing about unity we and get the free and paid assets from there both 2D & 3D. It supports various types of tracing for AR and a Web AR and AR experience could be built using unity.

Cons:

The errors are difficult to handle some times specifically regarding he memory issue. The issues regarding the os are more complex to understand wen working on a XR experience. The Assets panel is the most difficult thing to understand for a beginner.

Reasons for switching to Unity

The capability were the issue with unity and that was the biggest reason behind the shift.

Easy game development

It is really easy to learn and has a great assetstore where you can buy extentions to make the software even more powerful. You get several types of compiling in the main package so you would not have to pay extra just to compile a android app. So the open structure of the software makes it easy to get in and run the learning material and get going. I have been stuck to Unity since i tried it and love the asset system.

Pros:

It is easy to work with, easy to learn and has a free entrypoint from where you can get into the software and learn. You only need a pro licence if you realease and earn.

Cons:

The way they have split the versions in render pipelines. Sometimes i need to buy several asset types if i need to compile in several render pipelines.

Reasons for switching to Unity

Unity seemed more professional with more developers supporting it. Better price.

Great game development engine for 3d Projects

Overall it's a good engine for creating 3D and 2D games. But it'd be better if they simplified the functions and added more options so that a no-coder can easily work on it.

Pros:

The best thing about Unity is its asset store, Standard asset packs that are free and a great starting point for creating prototypes.

Cons:

There are too many functions, a bit challenging to use, different rendering pipelines that make some assets not work correctly, and some bugs that can make anybody super frustrated.

Reasons for switching to Unity

Because some of them are expensive and require a subscription fee, some don't allow mobile exports.

Pros:

Very quick and easy to learn. There is tons of documentation and basically every error message you encounter can be searched up and fixed. It uses C# which is a strong language thats easy to learn and is also quite performant. The physics are decent, but there are so many features that allow you to make cool things with limited programming.

Cons:

The physics are simple at times, mainly for aerodynamics, and the lighting is a little tricky to understand.
