Oculus Rift owners will be given a “try” of Unity Pro, Zynga is buying match-3 developer Yummy Gummy, as well as how to port an iOS game to Windows 10 in 5 minutes – we tell you in our daily digest.
1. Buyers of the Oculus Rift virtual reality helmet will be able to use Unity Pro for free for 4 months. This means that the owners of the headset will have access to new tools for creating VR games. However, it is unclear exactly when users will be able to take advantage of this offer. Helmets can only be pre-ordered so far, and sales will not begin until March.
2. Zynga, which we have already mentioned today, announced the purchase of the developer of casual mobile games Zindagi Games. At the moment, the flagship project of this studio is “three-in-a-row” Yummy Gummy. However, in the past, the company developed the PlayStation Move controller together with Sony, and then released a number of games for this controller.
3. The chief manager of the Chinese branch of SSW, David Burela, using the example of the Canabalt game, shows how to port an iOS game to Windows 10 using Windows Bridge.
