GDC talk on Product Roadmap 2018 video

So there was a talk at GDC on product roadmap for 2018, but the video doesn’t seem to be on Unity’s Youtube channel.

Does anyone know where I can watch this? I suppose it might be on GDC vault, but I don’t have access this year.

Interested in seeing the new Sprite Shape feature, tried searching everywhere but no one is talking about it, no mention anywhere

It’s was probably private.

I have been looking everywhere please make this available!

It was the first talk on March 20th: https://unity3d.com/gdc-2018
and it’s mentioned here:

I suspect the real 2018 roadmap will look something like this:

2018.1 Skip nested prefabs.
2018.2 Skip nested prefabs.
2018.3 Ship nested prefabs.
2018.4 Fix bugs nested prefabs caused.
2018.5 Fix bugs nested prefabs caused.
2018.6 Fix bugs nested prefabs caused.

My plan is to keep using 2017.3 for the next two years:-)

This is the one! Hah, they posted it (or made it publicly available?) after I made this thread, maybe I had something to do with it?

Probably.

I like new programmable VFX tool.

The roadmap and Unity feature/update/bugs follows now a more predictable path which in the past was kinda worrisome for us not being able to know exactly where Unity is going, if/when bugs will be fixed, or when “promised” features will land.
PS: Super excited to all upcoming features and improvements!

Yeah, it definitely seems like there’s a greater focus on solid concepts (ECS, Job System, new rendering pipelines, even an idea of what the terrain system is going to be, and oh gmy god a VFX editor FINALLY) with predicted times of being implemented, which is a huge improvement over the past.
