JetBrains GameDev
Day 2023

Have you ever had any issues while testing a huge system with many different internal and external dependencies integrated into it? Which methodologies did you use to solve them? In this talk, several examples of various problems caused by a deep level of product integration will be considered, along with examples of how methods of manual testing and automation can solve them. This presentation will reveal some insights on the structure of JetBrains Rider in the context of Unreal Engine support and its internal and external dependencies, including other tools by JetBrains, Microsoft, Apple, and Unreal Engine itself.

In this talk, we’ll discuss the primary methods of organizing layouts in uGUI and consider the state-based UI development in Unity. We'll touch on the issues of reducing the amount of view code, generating APIs, and producing documentation for prefabs.

Join Ants for a hands-on presentation where we’ll dive into editor tool development in Unity. In this session, we’ll explore the power of extending the Unity Editor to create custom tools, automate repetitive tasks, and optimize your game development workflow. Whether you’re an aspiring game developer or an experienced professional, this talk will equip you with practical knowledge and techniques to boost the productivity of game designers, artists, and creatives and streamline Unity projects.

The talk discusses the top 10 assets and third-party game development kits, describing their advantages and disadvantages. It uses the example of a real app (Keiki World) that my team and I are working on. These resources benefit both beginners and experienced developers, making the game creation process easier. The list includes assets such as Amplify Shader Editor, Cinemachine, Firebase, DOTween, Dependency Hunter/Finder, Odin Serializer, Procedural UI Image + UI Gradient, and SR-debugger. Each asset is briefly described, and an overview of its features and benefits is provided.

This session will show game developers how to set up a game dev pipeline using Perforce, Unreal Engine, and Jetbrains tools such as Rider and TeamCity to create, build, and release a video game.

This talk will give an introduction to developing games and applications using Unity's Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS). We’ll also showcase some of the primary use cases for developing with a data-oriented approach and the benefits it will bring to these applications.

Building and packaging Unreal Engine-based games is notoriously difficult. Achieving modern continuous integration and continuous delivery levels for them is even harder. In this talk, we’ll present and review the solution developed by Sprocket Games to build a modern multiplatform Unreal project in AWS, leveraging Epic’s BuildGraph system and TeamCity’s Kotlin DSL. Using this system, Sprocket Games has transitioned from overhead-heavy, bi-weekly playtests to near-painless daily playtests.

Learn about Unity’s support for Apple Vision Pro. How to leverage existing tools, packages, and features to start building today. The session will cover PolySpatial, the new Unity technology used for building shared and mixed-reality applications for Apple Vision Pro.
