- 17. Page What does it take to port a Unity game? • Define a “game” in this context? • Core gameplay – game logic, scenes, assets • Wrappers – monetization, social, plugins • Addons, process to update and patch • Assuming “to port” means • Core gameplay launches on a new platform/device • Unity takes care of what it can control • Texture compression, sounds, scripts, scene setup (physics, light probes, lightmaps, navigation, occlusion, etc) • Cross platform plugins, if applicable • Performance? 17
- 18. Page It can be easy, it can be hard… • Performance - depends on your project/experience • E.g. iOS to Web is easy • Android to iOS ir easier that iOS to Android • Standalone/web to mobiles – can be very hard • Expect 50-80% of code/assets to be persistent • Unity API is generic, designed multiplaform • May need to reimplement input • May need to wrap some code into IFDEFs • Reminder: all your binary and platform specific data is not multiplatform 18

Page Results – it works! • Total work - about 6-7 hours • Got familiar with the project • “Implemented” touch input • Profiled, went through assets, optimized here and there, rebaked lightmaps and light probes, occlusion culling, etc. • Next steps • Work with artist on LODs to reduce triangle count • Reduce the number of materials • See what happens with Androids… 30
