- THE HALLWAY - Update regarding Unity - 18 September 2023
Dear Community, After monitoring the recent changes to Unity's pricing policy, we've made the difficult decision to move away from Unity as our engine of choice for "THE HALLWAY - Escape Room." ICYMI: The Verge: "Unity has changed its pricing model, and game developers are pissed off" While Unity has already backtracked on a few of these statements, and the changes might not affect us as of yet, and potentially never will, our trust in Unity as a company and as a game engine has been broken. Continuing to build our games with Unity feels like too much of a risk for the future. What does that mean for THE HALLWAY? We are deeply committed to our game and can't wait to show you the whole picture of what we have envisioned. However, this will now take a little longer than originally expected, as we have to rebuild the game in a new engine and potentially acquire new skills as a team to do s…
