Unity 6 (Unity 2023 LTS) releases this year (2024), but should you use Unity 6 to develop your indie game? Which game engine should you use? You may be unsure whether to jump back into game development with the Unity Engine. Before you make a decision, be sure to watch this video to be fully clued up and prepare yourself to decide.
Given the recent Unity controversy and Unite 2023 keynote, we explain the Unity Runtime Fee, what eligibility subjects your game to the Runtime Fee, the new major features and notable improvements of Unity 6, the new CEO, and whether you should use Unity 6 to make your game or move to a new game engine.
*Update 12/13/24:* As of today, Unity has announced they have scrapped the aforementioned Runtime Fee, starting immediately. While the section on the Runtime Fee in this video is etched into time and good for historical context, you may find it no longer applies from this date onwards!
