The thing is that Unity produces content for Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Web… and you can manage the output optimisation as you go along and have one single development in C# but then produce the content for each device/platform, this is the reason is getting so much traction, its simpler and cost effective so they will get a job easier I would imagine.
I would suggest you ask to the industry in your area and see. cheers jb > On 19 Jan 2015, at 22:28, Angus Davidson <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Jordi > > Every little bit helps ;) > > We are currently only looking at PC/Mac so being able to compile for all > devices / platforms is not a requirement. > > Unity does seem to have far more content which is definitely useful when you > need to point the student towards additional tutorials. > > The games they make are fairly small. as the focus is more on the design of > the game itself (they do of course go hand in hand to a large extent,) In > first year they don’t use a computer at all, focusing purely on analogue > games to allow them to get to grips with gameplay design and theory. > > > Kind regards > > Angus > > -- > Angus Davidson > 074 580 3744 > > On 19 January 2015 at 10:07:43 PM, Jordi Bares Dominguez > ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>) wrote: > >> I like Unreal but Unity strength on multiple platform compilation and the >> huge user base and market place make it extremely attractive. >> >> If you aim for pure games may be Unreal is more appropiate, if you aim to >> get your students to do games and web, and digital content and… then Unity >> is pretty much the standard nowadays, specially with the upcoming Unity5 >> which looks very very good indeed. >> >> hope it helps >> jb >> >>> On 19 Jan 2015, at 22:03, Angus Davidson <[email protected] >>> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >>> >>> Hi All >>> >>> Mostly out to educators , but very all opinions welcome as I know quite a >>> few folks have played around with Unity and Unreal >>> >>> We have a new Games design degree.
