Hello,
I am using unity for 6month now, and i’d like to find another game developement platform that could make a small battery consuming game for android.
I think i saw somewhere that unity games had a loop process running all the time while the game is playing. For a phone it is pretty annoying cause it consumes a lot of battery…
I’d like to make a game witch only asks questions and wait for answers, and it has to be able to play on a phone without being too costly in battery.
Hope i’ve been clear enough !
Thanks for answering !
I mean, technically, just about every single real time game has “a loop running all the time”, aka the game loop.
But yes, unity can cause some extra overhead on mobile, especially if your making a really simple game, that might be much lighter without all of the bells and whistles that unity has.
Want peak performance? Write native android code. Want lots of features pre-created to help you make games faster and more fancy? Use unity.
Ok thanks ! Something like android studio doesn’t have a too big game loop ? Any others you know ?
There are many different engines out there, some with more features or better performance than others, so to find the ideal one, you’ll have to search around and test different ones out.
