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

Ideal for rapid prototyping

I approached Unity aware of it's biggest faults, and have had an overall easy time getting acclimated to it. It has become my go to tool for rapid prototyping, and each major update has only made it faster and easier to use.

PROS

It's hard to best unity for rapid complex prototyping of non-standard ideas. Engines like Unreal can be good if you want a game that fits it's molds, but if you want to break out of the box Unity offers a lot more options.

CONS

The outdated user interface, and massive backlog of training material can make it difficult to learn Unity at times. It is much better to find a recent course for an LTE version than it is to simply hit up youtube because quite a lot has changed for the better overtime.

Reasons for switching to Unity

I needed something that offered faster universal prototyping.

No other app that can help you develop games like Unity can

Great platform with an abundance of features available but the learning curve is very steep. Knowing unity is a real hard skill.

PROS

Insane amount of features of you to choose from. I used it primarily to create a VR environment and the degree of freedom you have is astonishing.

CONS

Personally, the learning curve is steep. You can personalise things very nitty gritty, but that comes at the cost that you will have no clue how to start. Had to follow extensively some youtube video on how to create things but it is manageable. Would have been happy to have a bit of guidance.

Good 3D Engine for Low-Tier Devices

Unity is a good engine for lower-tier devices (laptop/mobile). It looks clean and professional so everything is easy to find. I would continue to use it for 3D games as long as I am focusing on smaller projects, otherwise I would look for something else with better graphics that are easier to set up.

PROS

Nav-mesh pathfinding is a breeze to use. With some knowledge of how it works (1-2 tutorials) its possible to have objects navigating around the map within ten minutes. The Unity documentation is very good.Physics engine is very fast on low-tier devices (laptops/mobile)

CONS

I really dislike the animation system as it is. I have only ever been able to animate one thing, after nearly a dozen different attempts. I have also had multiple issues with shaders and collaboration tools breaking all of my in-game textures. I was forced to re-texture every single object (100+) by hand. If you are using both, DEFINITELY check if there are any critical shader issues before choosing a version for your project. Doesn't look great without a lot of work in writing your own custom shaders. The asset packs and templates are pricy.

Reason for choosing Unity

Unity is a little less heavyweight than the Unreal Engine, so it runs better on lower-tier computers. I was also more familiar with C#/javascript, so it was easier for me to get started.

Perfect Game Engine

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.
