Multiplayer and Explosions
The Aether Republic Unity 3D display can be seen here: WebTest
I did a lot of reading today and found some good stuff. Unity doesn’t support multiplayer on the iPhone yet, but there is a company AGON Online that offers free multiplayer support. They have taken the time to build code to let Unity developers add multiplayer very easily. I’m not sure if this what we need yet, but it is good to know there are options.
Unity supported the efforts of four developers last summer in a project called Summer of Code. The goal of these developers was to create packages for Unity developers. Two really spectacular packages came from it. One is Detonator and it creates parametric explosions in Unity. Quite impressive! The other is a Gem shader which makes it fairly easy to create realistic sparkling gems.
Today’s Features
- Ability to select the asteroid or ship by left clicking on them.
Code Gibberish
iPhone app probably won’t be below 14MB, even the trial version. This is due to the Unity framework size. If we were to get the Pro version eventually we could shrink it by taking out unneeded portions of the framework. If the game and graphics are decent enough, this won’t hurt us too much.
