Unity,
a San Francisco based company which has its expertise in building tools that
help the developers to make the apps and games which work on a huge range of
devices has now taken its step towards the coding.
As
per the company’s statement, today, more than half of the mobile game developers across the globe use Unity and in addition to that now the company
is growing outside the games and has extended its operations to the desktop
apps and the VR (Virtual Reality) goggles as well.
In
the past,Unity had developed a game with the help of a team of eight members,
which grabbed the attention of the app world all over. This was listed at a
price of $ 3.99 in its initial stage itself and that is where it succeeded and
became one of the top favorites in the stores rankings.
As
per the latest statement released by Unity's CEO, David Helgason, his team is
working on some of the aspects such as advertising and the video-replay technology
which helps the developers earn for their apps and also help the user to send
the game-play video clips to their friends. Unity also has its own app store
which helps the developers sell their art works to one another and also in
building game worlds. With this the company had saved almost $1.4 billion worth
of work.
Unity: Then and Now
In
the recent years, Unity has also been extending its hands for partnerships with
some of the major app and device makers. In today’s date unity has its collaborations
with Microsoft,Sony and Nintendo for the apps being developed for their devices
can be used for free.
The
basic challenges for the developers according to the framework of unity is,
creation of a great game and then to connect it with the users. Since the
initiation of the company it had its focus on helping the developers to create
great games but now the company is also addressing the issue of how to monetize
these games and to connect with the users.
The Unity way
There
is an experienced two-person studio known as Colorblind, which makes a game
named as Aztez. But the issue is that the two people are addressing the eight
platforms along with the consoles. The fact is that, to target eight platforms
and then the console it is not less than a task of twenty-person studio. And it
means that Colorblind are working as 20 or 30 people with only two-person
studio. They are surely experts and sharp as well, and they also use Unity.
With
the emergence of Virtual Reality the gaming world now has attended new heights,
quoted David in his recent statement. With the steps Oculus has taken to make
it much more than just better, and this is amazing addition to the VR sector.
The 3D experience of VR has brought it to a whole new level and this could be
the key for its future operations. With the usage of the 360 degree cameras and
the HD videos it is something like never before.
