Based on a real world use-case, I am going to walk users through the process of finding out where performance and memory issues are coming from, how to use our tools to track these issues down, and how to make UI that doesn't generate garbage. I will also be talking about the issues of sticking with older version of Unity.
Lots of our clients complain about uGUI generating performance and memory issues when used to display dynamic text in MMOs. I wanted to make sure that the advice I had been giving them was correct, so I made a sample game, and tracked down all the problems they were seeing.

Asset Store is a great place to look for 3D models for your game, but since the assets come from creators from all over the world and have been created across years now, it's hard to make consistent, immersive environments using a multitude of asset packs, and these assets are often associated with prototyping, placeholder art and "cheap looks". However, it is possible to utilise asset store assets in a way that they comprise a concise environment without racking up much costs or production time.
Working on Mosh Pit Simulator, I have created most of the game world using the Asset Store assets, and being a solo developer, getting a $5 asset and spending 30 minutes fixing makes way more sense than spending an entire day modelling and texturing everything from scratch. During this talk I will share my experience showing how to make assets play by your rules.

During the development of Old Man's Journey for Nintendo Switch we were faced with the challenge of making a cooperative, pointer based game work with the various input scenarious the Switch has to offer. Seeing this flexibility as a strength we wanted to make sure to offer input schemes suited well for handheld, tabletop and TV mode. To combine the input possibilities from the touch screen, gyroscope-pointers and analog sticks we chose to extend Unity's native input event system. That way we can easily distribute the pointer data to every corner of the game without caring who and what device controlls the pointer. We will also elaborate on how Broken Rules managed to bring Old Man’s Journey to the European, the Ameriacan and the Japanese Nintendo Switch eShop simultaneously - within a very tight budget, limited time frame and with a team consisting of only 1 producer and 1 coder.

The Unite Berlin keynote, conference and exhibition will be held at STATION-Berlin on June 19 - 21, 2018. Only a few steps away from Potsdamer Platz in the heart of the city lies the historical landmark known as STATION-Berlin.
Structural details, like massive gates where steam locomotives once chugged, give the site a vintage feel. These days, however, it has been reimagined as a modern convention center, which serves as a hub for innovative ideas and creative concepts. The perfect location for Unite Berlin.
David Bowie called it the greatest cultural extravaganza one could imagine. From historical sites to counter-culture hideaways, Berlin is now also a hotspot for developers and the tech scene. This artsy, vibrant city has something for everyone, and we can’t wait to see you there.
