Historically, AR developers have had to build their content and then export it to an AR headset, setting developers back in time and energy. Unity appears not to have cut out a middle-man (developers will still have to determine what and how they monetize), but to have given developers less to fixate on when it comes time to focus on business over artistic interests.Īlong the same lines, developers showed off new updates to Unity’s augmented reality software, called AR Foundation Framework. At GDC and beyond, a lot of oxygen has been devoted to helping indie and mid-tier developers successfully monetize their games, or at least make the more monetized parts of it more appealing. It’s a small, yet powerful decision, which could likely save indie developers time that could be better used refining other aspects of their game.

Called “Game Foundation,” the service essentially provides mobile developers with pre-made templates for things like virtual storefronts, inventory systems, in-game currency management, and player save data. Keeping in line with small, but meaningful developments, Unity also announced that a new set of tools for mobile developers looking to more easily monetize in-app transactions and other automated processes is on the way. Built in the Unity engine, the game is the result of a partnership between Activision and Tencent Cloud.

Unity also announced that Call of Duty: Mobile is coming to previously unannounced regions, including North America, South America, Europe. Unity CEO John Riccitiello said the service will become available in late 2019. Unity announced that Tencent Cloud will serve as the default cloud provider in China, and that Unity licensees will be able to use the Tencent Cloud later this year.Ĭhina has historically been a difficult market to break into, thanks in part to restrictions placed upon the industry by China’s government that only recently were changed, and some of which are still in place.

Touting the overseas success of Chinese juggernauts Arena of Valor and King of Avalon, Unity made it clear that they’re interested in helping studios expand into the Chinese market via the new partnership. Unity announces partnership with Tencent Cloud for Chinese Publishing, suite of additions aimed at smoothing back-end work for developers.Īt their annual keynote event, Unity Technologies announced a slate of new business developments, including a partnership with Tencent Cloud, plus several initiatives that expand the company’s technological offerings for Unity licensees.
