Our Secret Sauce: How We Develop Hit Games
A lot has changed since 2015. Bruno Mars song "Uptown Funk" is no longer number one on the Billboard Hot 100, the iPhone 6S is no longer the latest in the apple suite and the world has gone through a pandemic. Personally, I moved from a city apartment to a place in the Stockholm archipelago and work-related, VR/AR technology has exponentially evolved, and we as a company have grown the same.

Calling Rust from C# in Unity
As mentioned before, we use the Rust programming language to implement some of the functionality of the tool in one of our games. The name of the game has now been released -Ultimechs - and we recently published a gameplay reveal trailer.While we use Rust for the core gameplay, we still use Unity for everything else in the game. Unity has excellent support for rendering the graphics, interfacing with the audio system, reading input from different kinds of controllers, and building for different platforms. We still want to use Unity as a familiar tool for many things, so only the logic for the gameplay and network connectivity is written in Rust. The reasoning behind using Rust for those things were mentioned in the previous blog post, so now is the time to go deeper into the technical details about how we mix Rust and C# code.

This is just the beginning for our dear game. To celebrate, we’re taking this moment to look back and give you a behind the scenes peek into the design journey of Demeo from our UI/UX Designer Conor’s perspective.
