The annual Unity Developer Day conference tour is back with more dates than ever! Our second event of the EMEA tour will be held in Hamburg, Germany!

Join us at the first ever Unity Developer Day in Germany for an exciting day of development talks, games, interactive media, and more Unity updates: Hamburg, June 6th, at the InnoGames offices!

Unity Developer Day is a conference series dedicated to supporting local developers through the exchange of stories and skills that promote the creation of successful Unity games and interactive media.

Our Hamburg edition brings together the local Unity community and Unity staff to share their expertise through a full-day conference track, networking lunch, and a showcase of local projects made with Unity.

Local speakers will share experiences and insights gained throughout the creation of their Unity projects - be it through programming, design, art, audio, business, and more.

Expert Unity evangelists together with guest speakers will give talks focused on how local developers can get the most out of their work with Unity and its services.

100% of all proceeds raised from the event will be donated to a local charity.

A more reliable and flexible asset pipeline using Addressable Assets

Ciro Continisio, Technical Evangelist - Unity (@CiroContns )

Addressable Assets is a new feature from Unity that allows to structure the loading of assets in a better way. Building on AssetBundles, they unlock all of their functionality and provide more, all of this without coding. By using Addressable Assets developers can reduce build size, enable faster start-up times, and provide live-updates to their content without having to push a new build to stores. Regardless of the platform you’re building for, there’s something to gain in using them.

In the course of this talk, we will first analyse the pros and cons of different methods of loading assets, then dive into Addressables and how to harness all the possibilities they offer - looking at a mobile game as a practical use case.

Launch planning, Game server density and Multiplay Overview

Curt Anderson, Solution Engineer and Ben Mead, Multiplay Key Account Manager - Unity/Multiplay
