A Quick Comparison between Unity & Native Game Platform

The way this world is growing with games, game developers, and gamers. The day is not so far when software engineers will be saying “Bro if you are good at game development or mobile game development your career is set. No one likes a software engineer!”. The improvements made by gaming industries in recent years are next to none with the skillset it provides and the high graphics implementation it makes every game extraordinary. 

Believe it or not, the highest revenue in the entertainment industry comes through the gaming industries (mostly from Online Games), much more than from the movies and music industries. 

To develop a game we need game development platforms or game engines. The two most popular game development platforms are: 

• Unity Game Development Platform
• Native Game Development Platform

Both game development platforms are gaining popularity day by day. Thanks to internet technologies. 4G & Broadband connections. Fast internet connection sets a different world for game developers. 

What is a Unity Game Development Platform?

Unity is a cross-platform game engine with a built-in Integrated Development Environment (IDE) developed by unity technologies. Unity platform develops video games, web plug-ins, desktop platforms, and consoles. Also, Unity supports Mobile Game Development. So, Unity is a game engine where you create, control, and run your games.

Some games developed in the Unity Platform are: Rummy, Poker, Ludo, Teen Patti

What is a Native Game Development Platform?

Native is a platform-specific coding environment that is written in platform-specific language to run on the target platform. These are not as flexible as Unity and in Native one app can be developed for one platform only. Native supports Skill-based games to build in their platform.

Some games developed in Native Platform are: 

Super Bowl, Zombie Aircraft, Football Kick, Color Lines 3D

IDE

Integrated Development Environment is a software application that provides awesome facilities to programmers for software & game development. It comes with so many tools and a debugger.
