Is Unity the best software for developing games for Android: Brill Mindz Technology

Introduction

The game development industry is a rapidly growing sector and it is expanding as people get more interested in playing games. The market is huge and there are many applications developed every day. So, it is important to know the development tools that offer maximum benefits for every platform.

A game development is a rapidly growing industry and there are many games developed daily. Games are developed for various platforms such as Android and iOS. Unity 3D is the best software for developing games and it allows you to create your own version of any game you want.

You should know that Unity is one of the best development tools available in the market today. It offers you the ability to develop games using its cross-platform system and publish them on various platforms, including Android.

The two most popular platforms for game development are Android and iOS. Android has a larger market share, but iOS is more popular with gamers.

Android is considered to be the best platform for mobile games because it's easier to develop for than other mobile operating systems like Windows Phone or Blackberry 10, which have a smaller user base than Android does. However, if you want your game to be played on consoles such as Xbox One and PlayStation 4 then you'll need either Unity Pro or MonoDevelop (which comes free with Unity).

For PC games, there are still some issues with performance on certain computers but this isn't too bad compared to console ports where performance can be affected by factors such as graphics card limitations etc., so bear that in mind when deciding whether or not it's worth investing time into porting your project overto another operating system. If you're not sure whether or not your game will perform well, then it's best to get this checked by beta testers first.

While there is a market for both platforms, Android has a significantly larger market share. It's estimated that around 80% of all smartphones in use today run on Android. This means that if you are going to create your game primarily for mobile devices and not PCs or consoles, then choosing Unity over Cocos2D would be more advantageous to you since it supports both platforms equally well.

The reasons may be due to the number of users who use Android-based smartphones or the operating system itself that allows developers to create games:

Android has a larger market share than iOS.

Android has more users than iOS.

Android is a more open operating system than iOS, which means it allows developers to create games without much difficulty.

If a developer wants to develop an application for multiple platforms, he will need a development tool that supports the same. Unity 3D is one of the best software for developing games, as it supports the development of games on multiple platforms. For example, if you want to create a game for Android platform and iOS platform then Unity can be used by developers because it has cross-platform capabilities.

Unity 3D is a cross-platform game engine that supports the development of games for Android, iOS and other platforms. It's also a good tool for developers who want to create games for multiple platforms at once. The main advantage of using Unity 3D is its ability to develop your game without having to learn anything about creating it from scratch, since you can use the same code base on all three platforms (iOS, Android and PC).

This means that if you already have an idea in mind but don't know how exactly how it should work out - then Unity 3D can help you solve this problem!

Unity3D is a cross-platform game engine. This means that you can use this software for creating games for Windows, Mac OS and Linux computers.

Unity3D is used by many developers in the world because of its powerful features and ease of use. It also has a lot of tutorials which help you learn how to use it on your computer or mobile device easily without any difficulty at all.

Unity 3D is one of the best tools available in the market today when it comes to developing cross-platform games. It supports all major platforms, including mobile devices and tablets.

Unity has been used to develop many different types of games including 2D and 3D titles for consoles, PC or even mobile devices such as Android phones or tablets.

About Unity these past few days

A lot of people have asked me about Unity and their strange new per-install charges policy that they rolled out on September 12th, 2023. I wanted to give them at least 24 hours before I posted my take on it - let the dust settle a bit so I could get a chance to read the new policy properly and all that. First, however, I think we need to take a step back and get a wider perspective. Unity Software Inc. is in some serious financial trouble. Here are their operating numbers from 2019 to 2023.

The blue line here is how much money they take in and the red line is the amount of money they are spending each year. You may notice that they are spending significantly more money year over year than they earn. In fact, over the past 12 months alone (August 2022 to August 2023), Unity Software Inc. has lost almost $1 billion.

In 2022, Unity spent four times as much money as they did in 2019. If they had managed to keep costs at double their spending in 2019, they still would have earned $243 million in profit. Instead, they lost $882 million in 2022.

Where does all of this cost come from? In any software company like Unity, the vast vast majority of costs comes from employee salaries. And we can directly see it in Unity's number of employees:

Unity Software Inc. more than tripled its headcount from 2019 to 2022, and it did all of this hiring during the pandemic while competing with many many other developers all trying to hire from the same pool. I don't work for Unity, but I was in the market and I had lots of recruiters trying to recruit me during that time.

In short, Unity is suffering from the same miscalculation that Embracer Group did, that EA did, that Activision-Blizzard did, that Square-Enix did, and just about everybody else in the tech industry - they misjudged the good times at the beginning of the pandemic, overspent hiring people thinking the good times would last, and are now scrambling to figure out how to survive. The difference is that Unity was getting all of their operating money from Venture Capitalists (VCs) hoping that they would eventually become profitable, but VC money has all but dried up because it's become much more expensive to borrow money over the past two years.

As a result, the Unity executives are likely grasping at straws in hopes of saving a sinking ship. This wild and decidedly senseless pricing plan is their (seemingly-desperate) attempt to juice their revenues. It really makes very little sense from the developer perspective, which is what makes the whole thing reek of desperation. That isn't greed talking, it's survival. My guess is that Unity is currently desperately looking for a buyer to save them and doing whatever they can to buy themselves some more runway. They already announced layoffs back in May, but I suspect they'll probably have to announce some really big layoffs (e.g. 40-50%) soon. Unity Software Inc. is living on borrowed time and they know it.

Mukesh Ambani eyeing Thrive Capital stake

A group of global billionaires worth at least $123 billion are buying a stake in Thrive Capital, the venture-capital firm founded by Josh Kushner.

India’s Mukesh Ambani, Brazil’s Jorge Paulo Lemann and France’s Xavier Niel will join KKR & Co. co-founder Henry Kravis and Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Officer Robert Iger in investing $175 million to purchase a 3.3% stake in Thrive.

“These extraordinary operators have built storied institutions, achieved geographic preeminence, ushered beloved brands to even greater heights, and pioneered entirely new industries,” Thrive said in a statement on Tuesday posted on Medium.

The deal values Thrive at $5.3 billion, up from $3.6 billion in 2021, when it sold a stake to a unit of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., according to a spokeswoman for New York-based Thrive. Its total assets under management reached $15 billion last year.

Thrive has repurchased the stake sold to Goldman Sachs and the stake held by the new syndicate is the same, Thrive said on Medium. The Wall Street Journal first reported details of the stake sale.

The investment represents a collection of some of the richest people from across the globe.

Ambani is the world’s 12th richest person, with a $84.7 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Lemann, with a net worth of $21.1 billion, is Brazil’s wealthiest individual. Kravis is worth $9.5 billion and Niel has an $8.1 billion personal fortune, according to the index.

“A lot of these folks have been involved in my life for quite a bit of time,” Kushner, 37, said in an interview with the Journal. “Now they actually have a vested stake in the firm’s success.”

Thrive was founded in 2009 by Kushner, the younger brother of Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump who served as a senior White House adviser under his administration.

It has invested in firms including Oscar Health Inc., Compass Inc., Affirm Holdings Inc., Opendoor Technologies Inc., Unity Software Inc., Hims & Hers Health Inc. and SKIMS, an underwear company created by Kim Kardashian.

Exploring the Metaverse: A Developer's Perspective on Virtual Worlds

In 1992, the term metaverse was devised by Neal Stephenson in his science fiction novel, Snow Crash. The book weaves Sumerian myth, virtual reality, and just about everything in between to bring an excellent thriller of the information age.

Facebook, Inc. was renamed Meta Platforms, Inc. on October 28, 2021. Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook keep their names, but the company that maintains and produces them has since been called Meta, a professional metaverse company. 

What does Metaverse mean for developers? 

Queries about the Metaverse app developer and its influence on software development abound. The major concern is whether it will be a controlled space or an open digital space. 

Developing a metaverse app involves creating a gamified digital experience for platforms such as Oculus Quest, HTC Vive, and other VR systems. It also means constructing emerging digital worlds, such as Roblox or Fortnite. Metaverse game development services provide immersive virtual experiences. 

In terms of developer tools, some of the prominent ones are Unity, Blender, Amazon Sumerian, Unreal Engine from Epic, and Autodesk's Maya. 

In terms of influence, the advantage for creators is that the metaverse is widespread. No tech giant has control yet. After Facebook became Meta, it goes without saying that the digital platform would love to become a leading metaverse company.

The ecosystem will likely do so in the following years and has to mature. Presently, different initiatives are being implemented, such as Facebook's metaverse product group, Nvidia's Omniverse, and the metaverse stack of Microsoft.  1) Microsoft's Metaverse Stack

In 2023, Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, talked about creating a new organizational stack amid the merger between the digital and the physical. He stated a metaverse stack that will help software creators build ample virtual models of anything physical or logical. 

The remarkable part about the vision is that it mimics the actual world. Microsoft's, a metaverse company universe, will be based on the virtual twin concept, enabling the company to map and monitor real-world environments digitally. 

In terms of tech stacks used, creators should expect cutting-edge machine learning technologies using Microsoft's Power Policy. 2) Nvidia's Omniverse 

Nvidia, a renowned metaverse company launched in 2019, announced in 2021 its intentions to develop its Omniverse platform. 

Also known as an open collaboration platform that streamlines workflows, Omniverse simplifies teamwork between engineers, allowing them to build better physical products by collaborating on virtual representations first. 

Based on USD (Universal Scene Description), an open-source technology, USD has been labeled the HTML of 3D. 

In simple terms, its goal for the future is to evolve to make the virtual world feel real and connect the open metaverse. Creators can influence the Omniverse Developer Resource Center to learn more about developing Omniverse extensions and microservices. 

Various guidelines and a detailed kit are readily available to get started with emerging 3D scenes. Nvidia also emerged as a leading metaverse game development company that pioneers advanced technology for immersive gaming experiences.  For more information about Metaverse , contact us : https://www.acadereality.com/contact-us/ 3) Facebook's Metaverse 

As opposed to Microsoft and Nvidia, Facebook's metaverse is unclear. So far, the metaverse company has promoted two core products: Portal- a video-call device and 

Oculus – which can teleport individuals into a different room, irrespective of distance. 

A major concern is related to connection tissue, a language that is similar to Facebook's social graph. In December 2021, the company launched Horizon Worlds, a VR-based world of avatars, at the same time stating that they will spend $10 billion by the end of 2022 to continue to expand and improve its metaverse and develop the tech stacks. 

Software designers interested in learning more about metaverse development can now test tech stacks from Microsoft or Nvidia. There are other open-source stages they can try out, such as Open Metaverse OS or Mozilla Hubs. 

Irrespective of their choice, there's no doubt that the prospect of web development is a 3D form of the internet. 

Understanding the metaverse by studying developers  

Organizations selling, creating and entering in the metaverse will profit enormously from how the challenges impacting developers will ultimately have repercussions and understanding their perspective. 

Presently, three particular issues stand out: 

I. The demand to prioritize time with the metaverse developer community over concentrating on algorithms;

Ii. The rising anti-Zuckerberg sentiment felt by entertainers that will affect the development of the metaverse; and

Iii. The constant calls for superior accountability as keeping track of the blockchain changes — as do the movements of wallet watchers.

Business can learn how to build up their relationship with metaverse creators, produce better metaverse content and experiences, and overcome hurdles that would otherwise negotiate long-term ROI. 

Wrapping up

For businesses pursuing growth into the metaverse, creators should not be thought of as digital world freelance labor or construction workers. 

Organizations should view metaverse designers as companions in a revenue-focused venture. By doing so, those creators will add even better returns if their concerns are talked about. 

Whether it be providing additional team members or tools to oversee changes that make a substantial difference, considering the preferences regarding larger players in the space, or prioritizing time, acknowledging the problems preventing a developer's success will confirm the building process is in line with cost-revenue expectations, efficient, faster, and eventually resulting in a greater experience for users.

The metaverse remains an infinite source of business potential and possibility. Like most facets of a business, installing accurate individuals and removing their issues will be vital in getting the most out of a company's metaverse examination.

As our devices grow increasingly networked, this synergy becomes even more pivotal. The alliance between software developers and hardware experts, a collaboration epitomized by individuals like Nav Sooch, forms the robust foundation of secure digital ecosystems. This dynamic blend, referred to as Code Craft, serves as the fortress that ensures the data contained within these interconnected devices remains impervious to the ever-advancing array of cyber threats. This protective approach, rooted in hardware-software collaboration, is an absolute necessity in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The impact of this collaboration extends beyond the consumer sphere into various industries. In the realm of autonomous vehicles, for instance, the fusion of software and silicon is essential for real-time processing capabilities. The algorithms embedded in silicon chips guide self-driving cars, promising safer and more efficient transportation. Similarly, in the healthcare sector, this collaboration contributes to the development of personalized medicine and advanced diagnostic tools, ultimately leading to more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans.

Indeed, the progressive advancement of this synergistic initiative introduces its unique assortment of hurdles. The escalating intricacy of contemporary apparatuses necessitates a finely tuned equilibrium between pioneering developments and uniformity. Devising software that takes full advantage of silicon's capabilities, whilst simultaneously remaining flexible to the ceaseless progression of hardware configurations, is a persistent quandary faced by software developers and engineers.

This constant balancing act between pushing the boundaries of what is technically feasible and ensuring that the resulting code is still applicable and efficient, regardless of the rate of hardware evolution, underpins the complexities of this field. This situation presents a panorama where innovation is not just about invention and originality, but also about adaptability and the capacity to foresee and keep pace with a future that is always in flux.

It’s enshittification all the way down

If you don’t know about Cory Doctorow’s “Enshittification of the Internet” hypothesis… please go read

In this follow up mini essay, I’m going to talk quickly about the non-news that a major TTRPG brand is working ever closer to enshittification of TTRPGs.

The Dragon Wants to Enshittify Itself (there was no Chik-fil-A)

For a long time That Dragon Game has been showing ways it will present enshittification as helpfulness for a while.

You can see enshittification as the culmination of this demotivational from Despair Inc.

If you're not part of the solution, good money can be made [renting an approximation of a solution]

This is how I see the enshittification of lots of things happening. Companies don't want to SOLVE your problem, they want to rent you an approximation of that solution. The posterchildren of this method is the Adobe Suite and Microsoft 365 (note: other corporate software has done this for aaaaaaaages but these two are big obvious examples you've likely brushed up against, and also Hello Unity! How you doin with your Enshittification???)

How do I make this claim? The long arc of That Dragon Game trying to enshittify iteslf.

Back in the dim recesses of the 90s, That Dragon Game made a version of itself so wildly needlessly complicated that they decided to make it easier by including software on a CD to do the job for you. You could make up to Level 3 characters with it, and yeah it had some issues but they didn't try make their game easier to handle just potentially sell you a tool to manage it.

Not part of the solution, prolonging the problem for profit... eTools for 3.5EDragon Game was prolonging a design problem for profit.

Then after the Dragon had crapped all over its loot pile with 2 trillion splat books in the early 00s, the Dragon decided that it needed a new cave to put a loot horde and started on 4E.

Enter the murder of Melissa Batten. Wizards had hired Joseph Batten to head up Gleemax: a project to basically create a TTRPG Social Media site. (which boy oh boy sounds like another great place for enshittification... please see Cory's analysis of TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, etc...) A lot of this project came to a screeching halt when Joseph Batten lost the plot, decided to murder Melissa (who worked a Microsoft and was clearly better than him at a lot of stuff)... but at the same time those resources were put into Insider.

What is this Insider you speak of?

Hasbro told every department "Make at least this many boats of cash or fuck off to the wilderness" in slightly more 'investor speak'. So Wizards had to think of a way to suddenly make more cash. The solution? Insider.

Insider was going to be: - a source of new material - a VTT - a marketplace - a 'place to organise games with strangers' - etc... and you would pay a subscription for it.

Is any of this ringing any bells?

This was during the 4E incarnation of The Dragon Game. In the dim heady days of the mid 00s. A whole marriage ago for this Halfling (my marriage can nearly drive in some jurisdictions! Woot! I am old...)

As far back as 2008 Wizards have been looking for ways to make subscription versions of its stuff. The Enshittification has been happening on a loooooong arc.

But Halfling, that isn't what is happening now...

How does Beyond work?

You pay a subscription to have it, you then pay for additional content on it, you can't get your stuff off it, you have to use the thing... wait, isn't this exactly what Melon Husk is trying to do with X?

Beyond enshittified TTRPG. DMGuild is another aspect of that enshittification.

But why are you talking about this now Halfling? Why this topic now?

Well, it's making the rounds of many game design spaces that Wizbros have ended their distribution and publishing deal with Penguin Random House... sure, Wizbros likely have all sorts of options for printing/publishing/distribution. But on top of this it seems set up to make it hard for small retailers: the stores where a lot of people buy their TTRPG products. Why cut off their major advocates by doing this? To wall up the garden tighter and make it easier to enshittify the scenery more.

I don't see this as 'Wizbros scouring for a better distribution publishing deal' but a deliberate move to try enshittify things more.

#wizbros are enshittifying the bed #ttrpg enshittification has been happening for ages #cory doctorow #enshittification #ttrpg #ttrpg design

Unity overhauls controversial price hike after game developers revolt

video-game tool maker Unity Software Inc. said Monday it’s backtracking on major aspects of a controversial new price hike, telling staff in an all-hands meeting that it’s now considering changes including a cap on potential fees.

Unity, which operates and licenses a suite of video-game development tools called the Unity Engine, set off a firestorm last week when it announced plans to charge customers for every new installation of their game after a certain threshold. The decision triggered widespread protests, leading several video-game makers to say they would boycott Unity until the policy is changed.

Under the tentative new plan, Unity will limit fees to 4 per cent of a game’s revenue for customers making over US$1 million and said that installations counted toward reaching the threshold won’t be retroactive, according to recording of the meeting reviewed by Bloomberg. Last week, Chief Executive Officer John Riccitiello delayed an all-hands meeting on the pricing changes and closed two offices after the company received what it said was a credible death threat.

The company apologized to customers on Sunday and said it would be making changes to the pricing policy.

Marc Whitten, a Unity executive, said the company hasn’t yet announced the latest changes because executives are still running them by partners and don’t want to repeat last week’s communications debacle, which led to several clarifications. 

One of the most controversial elements of the policy concerned how Unity would track installations of its software. Although the company first said it would use proprietary tools, Whitten said Monday management will rely on users to self-report the data.

In the meeting, Riccitiello emphasized that the new policy is designed to generate more revenue from the company's biggest customers and that more than 90 per cent of Unity users won’t be affected. Several employees asked during the meeting how Unity would bounce back from what appeared to be a breach of trust. Executives said the company will have to “show, not tell” and handle future communications more carefully.

“I don’t think there’s any version of this that would have gone down a whole lot differently than what happened,” Riccitiello said. “It is a massively transformational change to our business model.”

But, he acknowledged, “I think we could have done a lot of things a lot better.”
