Best Game Development Platform for Cross Game Development

Picking the best platform can be the key to successfully build and deploy a game that becomes popular. It depends upon individual preference to choose Native Game Application Development where application needs to be developed individually on all platforms or cross platform which will allow you to write a programme, runs on all the platforms and will save extra cost to develop an app on each platform individually. Cross-platform game engines offer some real advantages and, there are quite diverse and plentiful options. We provide solution and expert consulting so that you can choose the best game development platform for cross game development. I have worked on comparison between the cross platform engines which will help you in identifying the best game development cross platform engine for your game.

Unity

Unity was first released in 2005 and the interface hasn’t changed much since. Unity 3D is a game creation system that comes with an integrated development environment for engineering 2D & 3D games with consistent graphics, amazing layout, intuitive design and engaging game play. It is widely used for developing video games for desktops, consoles, mobile devices and even websites. The Unity Free version comes for free whereas the Unity Pro can be bought for a fee.

Languages supported: Three development languages are officially supported: C#, UnityScript (basically JavaScript with type annotations) and Boo.

Re-Monetizing an Old Game- Porting Flash Games to HTML5

 

Using HTML5 as this particular game platform allows making the porting without huge investments.

Briefly about HTML5:

Firstly a few words, why I suggest using HTML5 for porting flash games: HTML5 is a widely known technology that has such syntactic features as, and elements, as well as the integration of scalable vector graphics (SVG) content (replacing generic tags), and MathML for mathematical formulas. These features allow to make it easy to include and handle multimedia and graphical content on the web without having to resort to proprietary plugins and APIs. Today’s HTML5 game developers always search new techniques to porting flash games to HTML5.

Below I would like to point out the main benefits and some shortcomings of using HTML5 for porting a flash game.

Pluses:

1. Cross-platform (the ability to launch a game on any platform)
2. The development of HTML5 apps takes relatively little time
3. Saves resources (writing of the universal code for all platforms is less costly in comparison with developing native apps for each platform)
4. Easy bug-fixing

Minuses:

1. Security
2. Possible productions issues
3. Some limitations of the mobile devices

Starting Out

Three young Danish programmers (or self proclaimed hackers) started out in the basement, inspired by developing something similar to “Apple’s Final Cut Pro” video making tool, but for video games development and named it as UNITY. 2005 saw the first primitive release and by 2008, the engine was among the first few to extend support to the newly launched iTunes Store and iPhone and it gradually evolved into a Sophisticated Game development tool…Read full blog- Unity 3D Game Development: Advantages and Disadvantages
