5 Reasons to Choose Unity 3D Over Corona SDK for Your Mobile Game



The debate between these two engines seems to be far from ending as its users and fans keep throwing out reasons why one is better than the other. But the truth is one must definitely be better and that must be Unity 3D. So, here are 5 detailed reasons why you should choose Unity 3D over Corona SDK for your mobile game. But before that, get a break down on the two.

Unity 3D

Unity 3D is a cross-platform game engine which its developers are Unity Technologies. The platform is used for developing video games for both PCs and mobile devices and also game consoles. It is also used for developing online games. The platform was first unveiled only for Apple’s OS X at their Worldwide Developers Conferences which was held in 2015.

 

The Unity platform, has released so far 5 versions, namely Version 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The versions were released on 2005, 2007, 2010, 2012 and 2015 respectively, with the version 5 being free. (The 5 sub-versions of 4 was released in 2013 and 2014)

Corona SDK

Corona SDK is also a software development kit (SDK) that was created by Walter Lu, who happens to be the founder of Corona Labs Inc. Mobile applications for iPhones, iPads and Android devices can be built using the Corona SDK.

The first Corona SDK launched was the Corona version 1.0 which was launched on December 2009.

Having gotten a clue of the two platforms in Unity 3D and Corona SDK, it is time to show you why the Unity 3d engine is the best choice for game developers.

3D feature

One of the reasons to choose Unity 3D over Corona SDK is the fact that the Unity platform offers 3D features unlike the Corona SDK which offers only 2D. Knowing that 3D games are the most sought after and much visually pleasing games. The Corona SDK does not offer this service and has no plans of offering it any sooner.

Larger Community

As a starter in the world of game development, you need to be carried along for you might consistently face different challenges. This is one of the reasons why Unity 3D is better, due to its large community of users, there are tons of tutorials on the internet to help whenever you are in need of it. Top game developers use Unity 3D, so you will definitely get the best tutorials out there.

Multi-Platform

For your work to be enjoyed and used by many, you need an engine that can run on as many platforms as possible, and should you decide to not only base on the mobile platform, Corona SDK cannot give you that because, Corona SDK only supports coding for very few platforms, but with Unity 3D you build once and deploy to platforms such as iOS, Windows 8 Phone, Windows 8, Android, Mac, Tizen, Ps4, Ps3, Ps Vista, Xbox, Linux/Stream OS, Wii U and many others. With this feature you don’t get forced to stick to a few platforms that will be less profiting.

Man Power

You might think this is way off considering, but you might want to give it a second thought. The size of a company gives it an edge over the other. Since Unity 3D has a much larger man power compared to Corona SDK, I bet you will get better bug fixes and frequent release of tutorials which will be helpful to a newbie.

No Bills!

Since Unity 3D announced the free of charge service on the release of the Unity 5.0, there is no reason why you should not choose Unity over Corona, for the cost of operating on the Unity 3D platform was some way more expensive than the Corona SDK. But with that issue trashed out, Unity is now free! So why still hang on to Corona SDK.

After reading through all of these, it is enough to get yourself out from the circle of the Corona SDK and switch to Unity 3D. Better plug-ins, extra help when needed, good services at no cost, and large environment to get all the help, experience and ideas you need.
