Programmatic teams are expected to do more than drive reach and efficiency. You are measured on whether audience strategies actually move products off shelves and drive incremental sales. However, connecting impressions in environments like mobile gaming to verified purchase behavior is still difficult. Unity’s new partnership with Attain is designed to help close that gap.Attain provides verified real-time purchase data from its direct, permissioned relationship with more than 14 million consumers*. When combined with Unity’s global mobile gaming supply, this gives programmatic buyers a way to activate purchase-based audiences in premium gaming environments and measure how those audiences perform on real-world sales outcomes.Why this matters for programmatic buyersMost audience strategies start with a simple question: Which consumers are most likely to buy, and how do you reach them efficiently?In gaming, the opportunity includes:Players who are highly engaged and return frequentlyInv

Officially launched in 2017, Albion Online is one of the longest-running MMOs built with Unity. Sandbox Interactive began developing the game in 2012 with the ambitious goal of creating a hardcore, PvP-focused online game. As a small independent team they needed a strong technical foundation that could support large numbers of concurrent players and deliver performant gameplay as Albion Online expanded to additional platforms.Today, Albion Online operates seamlessly across PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and most recently, Xbox Series X|S via Xbox Game Pass. We interviewed the studio’s engineering leads to dig into the game’s technical foundations and hear about the player-first development approach that has kept this cross-platform MMO going for a decade.One build to rule them allA major pillar of Albion Online’s longevity is its seamless cross play. Players can easily switch between mobile, desktop, and consoles using one login, engage in large-scale PvP combat across platforms, and en

Unity Pipeline Automation is a Unity Cloud service that automates and orchestrates complex, compute‑intensive pipelines for real-time 3D production and live operations.Building real-time 3D experiences requires massive amounts of data processing, complex file conversions, and intricate toolchains and data pipelines. Technical teams often spend significant time on repetitive, compute-intensive pipeline tasks that drain local resources and impede production velocity. Modern development environments demand scalable systems that handle these heavy workloads efficiently while integrating seamlessly with existing technology infrastructure.This is where Unity Pipeline Automation (UPA), a cloud-based pipeline automation service, delivers value at scale.This guide examines how UPA enables teams to streamline workflows in real-time 3D production and live operations. We analyze its core architecture, examine key features, and show how it optimizes development cycles for enterprise-scale projects.

In today’s guest post, solo dev Sørb breaks down the technical artistry behind the impressive fire and lava VFX in his upcoming action roguelite, Ignitement.The first thing you notice when looking at Ignitement is the VFX. There’s something immediately different about them, especially the fire. It doesn’t just look animated, it feels alive, reactive, and deeply integrated into the world.So what’s going on under the hood?Why you should care about fire VFXFire, and fluid-like effects in general, are notoriously difficult to get right in games. Traditional particle systems can look great, but they often lack true interaction with the world. On the other end of the spectrum, full 3D simulations are usually far too expensive for real-time gameplay.A few games have explored fluid simulation as a core mechanic. In Little Inferno by the Tomorrow Corporation (above), fire behavior is central to the experience, while Steve Mason’s Plasma Pong (below) builds its entire gameplay around reactive, f
