Advantages and disadvantages of developing game apps with Unity 3D




This is my first article about gaming apps, nor about Unity 3D. I have'nt published an extensive article on Unity game development, as well as a comparison of the tool with Cocos2D. I will show you the disadvantages of Unity 3D in concrete terms, which exist despite the great possibilities of the tool. Here we report how the best experts in the industry experience and evaluate the prominent program.

According to the  two experts developer for Androtiyas a company for web design and app development from Zaragoza. The two app programmers have worked together many times and developed Android games like Dragon Pet. We interviewed the two for you and asked about their assessment of Unity 3D.
As experts in the gaming industry, with great knowledge of this tool, they stated that the biggest beneficiary of Unity 3D is Android. Android is the market leader for mobile games and was able to further consolidate its position with the introduction of Unity 3D. Unity 3D fits well with the requirements of Google's OS.

Aitor Román: “We can say that Unity 3D took more time to implement the requirements of the Android OS. This approach is reflected in the performance ". That said, the power of Google is also evident in the development of games with Unity 3D.


Limits in developing game apps with Unity 3D

Like most tools, the performance of Unity 3D has its limits and there are some drawbacks to using the tool. Iván Garcia helps us list a few.

The most obvious difficulty is that the program leaves the development of a game to the user from scratch. “As a multi-purpose engine, there is nothing for you (Unity 3D, author's note). Some people expect game apps to be “drag and drop”, but it's not at all. In fact, I think that a good tool doesn't work that way, ”explains Iván Garcia. In Unity 3D, you have to create the basics of the game yourself. This is not easy, but on the other hand it provides enormous freedom for development.

As far as visual quality is concerned, Unity 3D is not quite as strong as UDK, for example. However, according to Iván Garcia, this is not necessarily a major disadvantage if the application is to become a less complex game for smartphones. For smaller projects, Unity 3D is a very good alternative.

At the game engine level, NVIDIA PhysX is used, which offers fewer functions than other tools such as UDK or CryEngine do. The Unity 5 PhysX3.3 update is expected to improve performance and provide additional features.

The expensive licenses can be a problem for freelance developers or small development teams. The most expensive version mainly offers graphical upgrades. But they are only worthwhile for medium-sized or large teams and for very ambitious projects. "It also depends on the developer himself whether he can use these resources," adds developer Aitor Román.

With regard to the development of game apps with Unity, especially for smartphones, we find the program very suitable. You don't even have to buy additional licenses. Unity allows you to publish games with the freeware, for example in Android and iOS, the most popular platforms.

Conclusion
In summary, Unity 3D is a valuable tool for beginners, but also for other users who don't have the resources to pay for game app development experts. The group of free developers and small teams who want to program simple but good games by hand benefit the most from Unity.

Coronavirus Begins To Disturb Chinese Technological Production

Coronavirus Begins To Disturb Chinese Technological Production The coronavirus outbreak in China is beginning to affect the global technology industry, with noticeable declines in shipments of devices such as graphics cards and mobile phones. Asus, Foxconn and Gigabyte  have said that first-quarter shipments of motherboards and graphics cards have fallen more than expected, British media outlet Computing has reported . This decline is explained by the fact that Chinese people avoid public places and shops, while courier delivery and other services have been affected. Meanwhile, the smartphone market is expected to be affected in two ways: first, with excess inventory in China caused by the sudden and unexpected decline in sales, and second, the halt of new models due to the pause. in supply chains, caused by factory closings, ordered by the Chinese government when the epidemic began. Huawei, in particular, is likely to be hit hard as it fell back on its home market due t...

Big Data

Data collection and interpretation are very important to the seed breeding program. Without data and its interpretation, progress is impossible. Technology will create the ability to collect new data, and the effective innovation of a successful company will result. In addition, as technology evolves, the cost of technology decreases. For example, the cost per gigabyte of storage in 1980 was $ 500,000. Today the price is less than $ 0.03. This is a huge expense for the amount of data collected. In pig breeds, there is a wave of data collection. Basic data collection includes weight, number of births, birth year, age group, wean to service time, door count, and more. These features do not require sophisticated technology. Ultrasonic balance, depth, and intramuscular oil are being collected because of advances in ultrasound technology. Improvements in body and food quality have emerged over the years, including tools to improve pH, maripling, color, and digestion. All of these factors ar...

Internet simply explained

Internet simply explained  The Internet is a worldwide network of several million computers. The computers that essentially provide services to other systems are referred to as servers. The servers are connected via Internet service providers (ISP), who manage (host) the information as Internet pages (websites, blogs, shops, email accounts etc.) and make them available to visitors (users). You can use the Internet to query information from all of these computers, send electronic messages to recipients around the world, shop around the clock, book trips, and much more. Internet history The Internet (from the English internetwork, composed of the prefix inter and network 'network' or 'net' for short) is a worldwide network of computers. It combines Internet services such as WWW, email, Telnet, Usenet and FTP. Any computer can connect to any other computer, provided you know its address. Colloquially, the Internet is also used instead of the Internet. The data exch...
