News & General Discussion

Hello, everyone.

I am a newbie to game development. I want to make a 2D social web game and I don’t know whether Unity is a good choice to do that. I have found many 2D games were made by Unity but I’ve not found a “social” web game. Is Unity good to make games with mysql?

Thanks in advance.

You talking MMO or social through menu interaction?

edit:: just saw it’s for browser game? if so you don’t need unity pro for networking.
//If it’s mmo on mobile, you need unity pro for sockets on mobile. (and still difficult)

If it’s through menus you can use php just fine to communicate with the server/mysql. (easy-intermediate)

My idea is players can invite their friends to their home. The avatars can walk in the house. Is Unity ok for that?

Yeah it’s fine for that. You should figure out how many friends at a time can come there and figure out which networking package will suite your needs. There are a dozen or so options. Might be able to use built in networking depending on how many friends you’re thinking.
