At the moment, more than 50% of all
mobile game development companies in the USA are programmed on Unity. In 2021, a global video game development report stated that Unity's share was 59%. Initially, Unity was intended for the development of desktop games, and only later an update appeared, porting the game to mobile devices. In 2008, Unity became adaptive for iOS, and since 2010 they have been working with the Android platform. Recent years have brought many updates, including the ability to create games for the xBox and PlayStation consoles.
At the moment, Unity is a full-fledged game engine that supports a wide range of development technologies and guarantees the game's relevance in the gaming market.
Flexibility and Adaptability of Mobile Development
Most large companies prefer development on Unity because of the huge list of platforms compatible with the engine. The finished application can actually be launched on any available operating system, popular mobile platforms and SmartTV. What can we say, even many browser games and applications for specific platforms (like ) are predominantly developed on Unity.
The functionality of the platform does not mean at all that development does not require specific knowledge and skills. If you need to write specific algorithms based on low-level code, for the same Android you need to have a thorough knowledge of Java. Only after finishing work with Java code will it have to be linked with Unity.
How to Create Games in Unity?
Unity's developer’s architecture is based on a component-oriented concept. If we take a closer look at gaming products, then any game consists of a mass of objects diluted or connected with additional components. For example, during the creation of a standard 2D platformer, we create a GameObject, to it we additionally attach a graphic component that is responsible for displaying the character, and a control component that provides control of the character using a mouse, keyboard, joystick or touchscreen. By the way, the engine does not impose restrictions on the number of such modules. We can add as many components to the GameObject as needed. All work on the engine is based on the very creation of the GameObject and the application of relevant components to them.
Diversification of Developer Rates in Western Europe, USA and Eastern Europe
Developer rates on Unity can vary significantly depending on the availability of additional skills, portfolio and experience of working with different projects. Consider the main geographic areas:
● USA. Here Unity's competitiveness is the hottest — due to the saturation of the labor market, only highly professional developers are in the top. Hourly wages for top talent can start at $ 100 per hour and hit the ceiling of $ 300-500 per hour;
● Western Europe. Equally developed market, equally high prices. The minimum tariff for a good developer on Unity will cost $ 50. At the same time, an experienced specialist can charge you $ 200 per hour, with the proper package of additional skills and many years of work experience;
● Eastern work — tariffing here is more liberal. The market is not so saturated, the competition is lower, so the price range is higher. However, finding an experienced developer for $ 50 is not a problem. More experienced programmers will cost $ 100 an hour or more.
