Megacity Flythrough

Download the sample project: on.unity.com/2upcqan
Building on the Nordeus demo from Unite Austin, our Game Code and FPS Sample teams produced Megacity, a dynamic futuristic cityscape. Megacity exploits our Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS), the name for all projects under the Performance by Default banner, including ECS, Native Collections, C# Job System, and the Burst Compiler.

I totally agree. With SRP and DOTS, it certainly could use a tutorial series once it all officially gets released. (Although my experience with HDRP has been pretty easy to get into. It's just still buggy a tad.)

[@UGuruz]

I am super surprised about the optimization of this demo. Everything in this project is very detailed and applied high resolution textures. Thanks Unity for providing this kind of super cool stuff for learning new things . :) However one thing I didn't like about this project that you can only open this project in 2019.1. In the 2019.2 or any previous version it gives lot of errors.

Hi again. Sorry but I saw that in GDC 2019 there were several conferences about this demo or similar ( for example 1- Getting Started with the Megacity Demo, 2- Megacity on Mobile: How We Optimized It with Adaptive Performance, 3- Converting Your Game to DOTS etc) for it, Do you know if you could add in this KZbin channel these Videos conferences? Megacity is a very complex project and if Unity could share them with us, it would be great !!! Would it be possible? Thanks again

[@knightideasgamedev]

So I'm here through the Unity Learn course and this demo is supposed to represent a shift in coding around data instead of objects or components, hope I got that right. I'll need to download the demo and check out how the scripts look different but at this level of complexity it's likely to look like spaghetti to me!

[@beto.aveiga]

I heard in the tutorial that there is no need to learn this yet. However, this video is 4 years old. I think this is not needed if you are still in the learning phase. Learning this probably implies mastering a few things first.

[@TomQK64]

BARULICK Sama It’s up to developers how much they use the engine to it’s maximum potential, have you seen Book of the Dead Unity demo that’s impressive but publishers like EA Activision or most of them give developers too little time to finish the games ✌️

[@sean8102]

Unity is obviously capable of fantastic graphics. Off the top of my head Subnautica and The Forest come to mind. Those games look extremely good. But as someone else already said it's all down to how the developer uses the engine. Unity is a tool, the developer is responsible for creating something great with it. I'd argue there are other Unity games that look fantastic as well but they don't go for a "photo realistic" art style. Games like Inside and Cuphead. Also another reason you don't often see a Unity game with cutting edge graphics/production quality is because almost all of the huge "AAA" devs/publishers have settled on their own in house engines. EA has Frostbite used for almost every game they publish, Ubisoft has their own in house engines for Assassins Creed (AnvilNext 2.0) and Watch Dogs (Disrupt) series, Far Cry uses the Dunia Engine since Far Cry 2 (Dunia being a fork of Cry Engine). Even some of the studios Bethesda Softworks owns are starting to use in house engines. They own id so of course they have access to id tech, and Tango Gameworks (Evil Within 1, and 2, Tokyo Ghostwire) has a customized version of id tech called Stem Engine. Arkane created Void Engine another id tech based engine for Dishonored 2. Rockstar has RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine). And so on. So all the biggest devs/publishers are using their own tech so you don't get to see unity used for a game with a massive budget often.
