Leveraging Unity Cloud Build for testing large projects – Unity Blog

Read on to learn how we used to deal with large project testing and which awesome new possibilities are available now! Once upon a time During development of the massive Unity 5 release, and the extensive changes it entailed, we frequently ran into issues with importing and building projects. For Unity 5 we wanted a cleaner API, which in some cases meant we had to break backwards compatibility. Often, when importing an older project in Unity 5, we had to fix scripts manually. Our testers do a very good job at making sure that projects import, build and run properly in every new build on all our supported platforms, but since we are constrained by time we usually used small projects (like AngryBots or Nightmares) to run these tests.

This is how the testing process worked back then: This was usually done by one person and it could take a few days. 1. 2. 3. 4. 30 weeks of Outland Games Development in Motion.

You can open them for editing by double-clicking the file in Unity. After saving the file in Blender it will be automatically reimported when switching back to Unity.Place all the texture files in a subfolder named Textures in the same folder as the .blend file. A subfolder named Materials will be automatically created by Unity. When assigning textures in Blender ensure to select the files located in the Textures folder. Assign textures to objects Choose the object and switch to Edit Mode (TAB).Mesh tab: Select the UV Map to asign the texture to. The texture is assigned to the selected faces.

In Unity 3D a material is created for each texture that is assigned to the material. Texture management Materials. Archive.

Seven Principles of Game Design and Five Innovation Games that work

People spend tremendous amounts of time and money on games—and even pay to watch other people play games (and not just baseball…the competitive video game market is huge…and baffling!). But *gamification* is everywhere too—in education, in corporate culture, in the innovation industry. Why? One of our favorite books, Finite and Infinite games, talks about how games appear in time and space and make a goal and a winner clear at the end, based on rules. When compared with most parts of our lives, that seems like a pretty good bargain – at our jobs, when does the change stop? Getting the Facts on Game Based Learning (INFOGRAPHIC) We know how effective serious games and game-based learning are.

Getting the Facts on Game Based Learning (INFOGRAPHIC)

That’s why we’ve developed an entire game-based learning platform focused on making game-based learning easier to implement. But some people are still on the fence about using games for learning. Compliance training isn’t supposed to be entertaining, right? We know that if everyone had the information we have, they’d realize the true efficacy of game-based learning. If only they could see our successful case studies and hear what those learners had to say.

Want more information? We strive to educate the instructional design community on serious games and game-based learning in fun ways. Unity 5.0 Upgrade Guide. Start.
