What is Unity?

At first I thought it was an Ubuntu UI... Then a C# app framework like PRISM... Now it seems to be some mobile game engine?

its the worst assassins creed game

Try cryengine, best ubuntu UI so far

I thought it was a ring in Diablo 3

"Unity is being together or at one with someone or something. It's the opposite of being divided." - according to the dictionary. 😉 It is also the name of a popular video game engine, the name of an Ubuntu desktop environment and the word is probably used for many more things.

@matsaki95 so... Back to the original question... When devs say they want to learn unity, which one are they referring to?

@billgates game engine, like me!

@CozyPlanes can it do anything other then make anime games? I haven't tried just realized this morning there was another meaning to Unity.

Before I was always going: why do ppl want to learn C# framework that even Microsoft don't seem to mention much...

@billgates
3d games / 2d games / VR / AR / Cinematic / AEC / Gambling / Literally everything

Damn i really want to make games again

@matsaki95 but can I develop rapidly OR need to draw n design all the characters n animations myself...

I suddenly had an idea of building an 3d anime virtual gf.... With AI/ML and stuff...

@billgates If you want to hop in the game industry, you really have to master flappy bird and retro games.
Then make 2d games like Ketchapp, and go on your way.
There is no possibility you will create anime something in a month. 😂😂

@CozyPlanes eh.... Pass then... I just need a gf substitute that can pass the Turing test

As you can see... I'm not very well liked by real girls... 😢

@billgates
I feel you are crying.
Well, if you are out of luck, you can start from scratch!
(the Orange cat scratch)😝😝

@billgates sorry....

Just download the UnityChan package, and you are 90% done with your virtual anime gf.

@wizzzard does it still sounds like a bot tho?

@CozyPlanes you get used to it... Now if only I have an android like the ones in Chobits....

@console true... You might learn more about c# if you don't use a full engine,
but if you look at the market, meaning if you want to work in gamedev, then unity is a good choice, as it is the most popular engine (outside of AAA development).

Um no, Ubuntu is a GUI for unity.

I thought it was 'the state of being united or joined as a whole'

@billgates dude go to unity’s YouTube channel and see the latest ADAM demo that they just launched a week ago. You will truly know what unity is capable of.

I am a unity dev myself. :)

@ajwadimran so do I need to start from scratch or can use free assets?

But does it support angular for frontend? Kids gonna cry

I prefer to develop games in my KDE Plasma web app for Windows 10 with a Gnome 3 NPC pack.

@billgates u can use all 3d models (obj) or buy some assets from the asset store

@billgates just like @cozyplanes said. You can use the assetstore for all your needs.

I have been making games since 2.5 years and except for a couple of times assetstore provided for me.

Good luck!

@ajwadimran @CozyPlanes now I need to decide... Virtual girlfriend (something I could talk to) or building a compiler (that might help me a better job).....

@billgates totally up to you
but, how do you MAKE a compiler?

@CozyPlanes with c++ I think... And a book about how to build a compiler

@billgates wow
Looks dangerously comprehensive 😂😂

@billgates how's it goin'

It's Rick Sanchez's ex girlfriend
Anybody WubbaLubbaDubDub?

@matsaki95 Sorry😥
