This post is about code you already have: Java code you want to reuse, and, as an experiment, Unity games. What is Codename One? Codename One is an open-source framework for building native iOS, Android, desktop, and web apps from…
Unity is a game engine, which means it handles the hard, shared parts of making a game: drawing 3D and 2D graphics, playing sound, detecting collisions, and running physics, so developers can focus on the game itself. It is used for mobile…
This guide is for engineering leads and technical founders making the call, and for non-technical stakeholders who need to review it. Both engines are supported ways to build for Quest. Meta has said that, from its v74 SDK, the built-in OpenXR…
Mushroom Wars 2 is a real-time strategy game with thousands of units on screen. It has been live for about ten years, on Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, iOS and Android, and at various points all of those platforms played against each…
Unity issues roughly one draw call per material per object. A scene with 200 props on 200 materials costs ~200 draw calls, even if every prop is a 12-triangle box. Mesh combining merges geometry, but combined meshes still referencing 15 different materials still cost…
Unity were already moving forwards with Unity AI that we covered back in May, and now that make game button becomes closer to reality with Unity Spark. While using generative AI to have a "make game" button was somewhat a…
When you start making a game in Unity, the obvious questions tend to come first: How should the character move? Which shader should you use? The decisions that cause expensive rework later are often less visible. The game works in…
I thought learning Unity would be easy after spending months in Unreal Engine. Instead, even simple tasks felt surprisingly difficult. That's when I realized I wasn't learning a new engine—I was trying to use Unreal Engine habits inside Unity.

Based on the makers’ specs and my own testing where I say so. A vertical slice is one small part of your game built to final quality. How it differs from a prototype and demo, and how I scope one.
Unity workflows, packages, perf tuning, and platform build/export guidance.
