“We have moved towards a production-focused environment, so that we can better understand how our tools and workflows operate together for a wider variety of use cases.”Īnd whether you’re creating a 2D indie title, a triple-A console game, or working on something totally different, improvements in how well the tool works are equally appreciated. “They provide invaluable feedback early on and throughout development to ensure we come up with the best solutions,” says Bibby.

We strive to provide professional yet accessible tools.” “Every second spent waiting for a download, an update, or a progress bar to complete, is another second not spent on creating.”Ī key part of helping produce those tools are Unity’s internal teams, which create the incredible demos, and the proof of concept sandpits, which all help move the platform forward. “We also deeply consider where we can trim the fat, so that again, workflows are operating together in a logical, efficient way. We want to make sure that the updates we’re delivering are not going to put them in a situation where they are taking two steps forward, and then three steps back.
“With every change we make to the engine, we are factoring in the stage the user is in with their work. You can read their stories on these pages.Īnd the company claims to be considering all these varied users with every such change of pace and with every release: What really struck us was how much their use of the tool varied, in terms of the version, features used, and how much they added to the core technology provided. We also ensure that LTS to LTS upgrades are as painless as possible, giving developers the best of both worlds: tech releases with the leading edge technology you need to innovate and LTS releases which give you the reach and stability you need in the long term.”Īsking about new features and Unity versions, we reached out to a handful of developers who have recently made incredible games with Unity. That will have a knock-on effect on its Long Term Support (LTS) releases: “It ensures that the foundation of our Long Term Support releases are rock solid, and ready for your productions that are shipping right now. This enables us to deliver a stable, slower changing core along with quicker fixes, and faster delivery of features and enhancements to Unity, needed by the next-generation of productions.” A key enabler of this is our Package Manager, which allows us to decouple many features, APIs and updates from our Tech Stream releases.
“We’re rebuilding Unity to be lighter and more flexible. As Brett Bibby, VP of engineering, explains to us: The most obvious change is that the company has changed its release schedule for the first time in years, adjusting the cadence of its Tech Stream releases from three to two a year.
