    Let's keep in mind that a long-term supported version of Unity 2021 doesn't currently exist. The latest LTS version of Unity is 2020.3, which came out in March. There is a Unity 2021, but it's not part of the Long Term Support branch and thus likely not a good platform for stable release. Ingress is not running on Unity 2021 for the same reason my phone is not running on Android 12.

    Hope we can get the latest update of Unity soon.

    Drain less battery handel graphics better and faster apps on phone. Less bugs. Works better.

    Is that what you assume, or you did some research?

    research. Better heptic feedback to for Android with latest unity.

    Hmm, you´d think there are a couple of other emergencies that need focus instead of moving to an experimental branch of Unity.

    The main thing to note is the LTS, this is where that platform will continue to receive bug fixes over a few years.

    And it isn't unusual, for the LTS to run for over 5 years.


    Legacy code can be a pain to up-rev.

    @NianticBrian Please explain way Niantic only update to Unity 2019 or not latest version 2020.3.9?

  • GrogyanGrogyan ✭✭✭✭✭

    Because the 2019 version, has both Long Term Support (bug fixes) and has been thoroughly tested against the LightShip Platform.


    And because you generally don't want to upgrade the toolset too often, as it can break things.

    Focusing on less battery drain is pointless when you're playing a GPS specific game. Regardless, the engine is under the hood and any improvements would also depend entirely on the coding. As someone already better, the focus is more on stability.

    Also, I don't think anyone except those in the gaming development field would even be aware of which Unity engine was used in Prime. It's just Brian happened to mentioned this in the previous update notes.
