Why Unity is the best engine for VR projects.

Overall, Unity is the best development engine for VR projects due to its vast Asset Store and the ability to easily preview while developing. These factors are why I would prefer Unity over its competitors.

Pros

Unity's Asset Store offers a vast collection of assets, plugins, and tools that can be easily integrated into my project because VR projects for brands often require rapid development, utilizing the Unity Asset Store can be a significant time-saver. Also with unity you can easily configure my VR applications to each headset brand.

Cons

What I don't like about Unity is the inability to easily transfer project files between my workstations. As I travel frequently, I wish I could work on my projects while on the go.

My First Game Creation

I was able to create a pixel art game with a team of two. Collaborating remotely during the pandemic.

Pros

It is easy to find tutorials online, and even Unity has a lot of tutorials to easily learn to create different styles of video games.

Cons

For the moment I have no complaints about the software.

Decent game engine but ridiculous pricing

Pros

I can deploy to a wide range of devices, although plugin support for them can be dicey (with my unusual setup)

Cons

The pricing model requires phone home to track installs
