Introducing Unity 2017.1

BUT, it does have a lot of really cool looking stuff going for it other than the unfortunate name change. Unity has evolved so much, so fast in the last 4 years, largely driven by the explosion of mobile gaming and AR/VR markets. It’s no wonder it’s the world’s most popular game engine (sorry Epic). While currently still in beta this is looking toRead More

Talon Code Mapper is a utility that reads software code, learns how it works and shows the developer a 3D rendering of what they created. It also solves problems of technological debt; like whenRead More
