Android Developing, New 2D in Unity Tutorial
So its been a few days since my last post so here is the latest news over here at PG!
Well it has been spoken about but I am starting to develop for Android, not iPhones as I don’t have a Mac. I will not speak about the game but I will reveal it will be our first fully commercial project for Android phones and tablets.
Don’t worry I will still be working on the Human Cannon until somewhere in May when I will finish it up and release the full version. Development on our new game will be in full swing in the summer an so don’t expect any more details until then, also I may be a bit quite during the summer while I work on it but please keep coming back! Or follow on twitter for the latest news.
On another note I have made a follow up tutorial on doing 2D in Unity by using Owlchemy Labs’ fancy script which makes planes the same aspect ratio as a texture! Yea that sounds pretty cool watch here for the quick tip on game development.
