Engine is an incredibly popular choice for beginner and advanced game
developers.
Unity Game Engine is a cross platform game engine created by
Unity Technologies for making mobile games, console games and pc games. Unlike
other dedicated game engines, Unity ships with support for 2D and 3D game
development and offers a wide array of platforms to export games to. Unity has
been used to develop several hit titles.

Works on Windows and macOS
allows developers to develop games on both a Windows machine and macOS
machine. This makes it incredibly easy to work in group settings with
different developers and makes it accessible no matter what operating system
you prefer. Another benefit that often goes overlooked is that because of the
standalone nature of this setup, Windows developers can complete the majority
of an iOS game on Windows and an iOS developer can develop the majority of a
Windows PC game on a Mac.
Supports 2D and 3D Game Development
mind. Having said that you will find tools designed for both styles of
game making. When it comes to 3D unity supports virtually every model
format available today including FBX, OBJ, DAE and more. This makes it
widely universal for developers getting 3D models from different sources.
Likewise, Unity also plays well with 2D image formats including PNG, JPG,
GIF and even Photoshop PSD files. Again this opens up the ability to work
with different online marketplaces that sell models and graphics as well
as freelancers around the world. One added benefit to this workflow is
that developers and creators can mix and match 2D and 3D game elements in
the same scene which allows for some very creative experiences.
Access to the Asset Store
One of the most revolutionary features of the Unity Game Engine is
actually outside of the software itself. The Unity Asset Store was one of
the first video game marketplaces ever created. This incredible online
store gives you access to every single game element you can imagine in a
video game. Need a 3D model for you latest third-person RPG? Theres a
massive section dedicated to 3D characters that work with Unity Animation
system. Need sound effects for your platformer game? Again Unity has a
dedicated section for music tracks and sound effects. This store has only
gotten better over time. As of today there are well over 10,000 assets
over a variety of categories including 3D models, 2D sprites, Music
tracks, Sound Effects, Particle Effects, GUI kits, API Helpers and more.
Best of all, all assets purchased through the store are instantly
available inside of Unity for use in your games.
Export to Tons of Platforms
front of as many customers as possible. What makes the Unity Game Engine
so awesome is the sheer number of platforms that you can build your game
for. As of today you can make games for iOS, macOS, Android, Windows 10,
Xbox, PS4, webGL and more. Literally at the click of a button you can
build your game for any of these platforms with little to no code
modifications on your end.
