Install the new Unity build on Windows and OSX.This is how the testing process worked back then: We found and fixed many issues before any of our users would have been affected by them, but it was a tedious and time-consuming task.

We were fortunate enough to have a few major studios share the full project folders for some of their completed games with us (for example, Republique) and we started manually importing and building these games on every new build during the beta and release candidate phases of development. These projects don’t cover many of Unity’s features – any of which might break in a new version – and they are nowhere close to the size and complexity of some of the projects developed by our users. Our testers do a very good job at making sure that projects import, build and run properly in every new build on all our supported platforms, but since we are constrained by time we usually used small projects (like AngryBots or Nightmares) to run these tests. We were also hitting major bugs and regressions in graphics, physics and performance related areas. Often, when importing an older project in Unity 5, we had to fix scripts manually. For Unity 5 we wanted a cleaner API, which in some cases meant we had to break backwards compatibility. Read on to learn how we used to deal with large project testing and which awesome new possibilities are available now!ĭuring development of the massive Unity 5 release, and the extensive changes it entailed, we frequently ran into issues with importing and building projects.

This is a story about how we are using Unity Cloud Build internally and how it can make life easier for you, our users, as well.
