Breakout Room Escape: Design and Development of an Immersive Unity Game

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) game development is a complex and challenging process that requires expertise in various fields, including programming, art, and design. Due to its adaptability, userfriendly interface, and thorough documentation, Unity is a well-known game engine that is frequently used in the game development industry. This research paper aims to explore the process of developing a 3D game using Unity, focusing on the technical aspects of game development and the importance of user experience. In this paper, we delve deeper into the technical aspects of 3D game development using Unity, starting with the importance of game physics. Game physics is a crucial element in game development, as it provides realistic movement and collision detection in the game environment. Developers can simulate a variety of physical properties, such as gravity, friction, and collision detection, using Unity's powerful physics engine. Another critical aspect of game development is artificial intelligence (AI), which involves creating intelligent agents that can interact with the game environment and make decisions based on their behaviour. Unity provides various tools and plugins to create AI agents, including behaviour trees, decision-making systems, and pathfinding algorithms. Additionally, we discuss the importance of game testing and debugging in 3D game development. Testing involves verifying that the game mechanics, level design, and user interface are functioning correctly, while debugging involves identifying and fixing errors in the game's code. Unity provides a variety of testing and debugging tools to help developers identify and fix errors quickly, ensuring a smooth gameplay experience for players. Furthermore, we address the process of game optimization, which involves improving the game's performance to ensure smooth and consistent frame rates.
