Building iPhone Games
with Unity3D
@tadej

Mobile games
• Java, Symbian
• Flash Lite
• Android
• OpenGL ES
• iPhone + AppStore $

Half of them are 3D.

Half of them are 3D.
Most of them suck.

The engine alone is
a lot of work
• Object loaders (Maya, Max, C4D, ...)
• Space Transform Wrappers
• Animation (keyframers, morphing, ...)
• (Inverse) kinematics
• Shaders, Particles, Lighting
• Physics engine (rigid bodies,
colliders, ragdolls, etc.)
• Input, scripting, A.I.
• Sound, Networking

Focus on gameplay, Indie.

Why Unity is cool
• A pretty powerful 3D engine
• Easy to handle
• Physics, animation
• Networking
• Asset handling
• Royalty-free assets
• Scripting (JS, C#)
• Community + scripts
• Mac, Win, iPhone, Wii

But it’s not a silver bullet.
• Some data format exchange issues
• Script editor not so hot
• (Microsoft Visual Studio support coming soon :P)
• 2D support is limited
• Torque 3D is cheaper ;)

Thanks.
