- March 23, 9:00 am (San Francisco) - Unity's CTO and Co-Founder, Joachim Ante shares the principles behind evolving Unity from a GameObject engine to be Entity Component System (ECS), and the benefits it will bring to developers.

Always enjoy hearing Joachim. The direction that Unity is going with the modular approach is really fantastic.
Burst + ECS + Job System = Pure Awesomeness!
Plus SRP too! ;)
@@tatoforever I agree, SRP is probably even a better example.
Unity used to be a rather limited and sealed-off toolset. Now look at SRP alone... So good!
Same here I really enjoy Joachim's presentations and for a techy person he is a real funny guy and easy to listen to :)
I'm a simple man - when I see there is a talk by Joachim, I watch it.
Could listen to this guy all day!
Unity is going in the right direction with all this! Can't wait for it to be production-ready. Good job, Joachim, and others!
This is definitely the right direction for unity to take.
i just tried the new burst compiler, very impressive, 20x performance compared to my old version of a gravity simulaton using the native c# threads, good work guys!
How was the process of converting your code over to ECS?
"Because why not!?" - Joachim Ante :)
What a tuff crowd. Are they asleep, why is no one shearing him on. This is what makes making cool games so much easier. KISS for developers is the best. :)
I thought it's Ultra Spiritual video!)))))
Good talk. The camera man is killing me though. Just zoom out a touch to frame the movement for crying out loud.
That 9ms for instantiation is nice but its assuming you already have a copy of the thing you're instantiating in memory.
"Nobody get's up in the morning to write spawning pools"
But everyone likes to create NativeArrays of size 1 all day, right? Every programming paradigm has some requirements to fulfill if you want to code in that way. If you want to write a LOT of code, OOP is probably for you. If you care about performance, DOD is the right choice. But everything has a drawback.
I love hearing about these talks, and look forward to using this system, but I can't help but notice that Unity.Entities does not even exist in the 2018.1 update!
It's in preview in the Package Manager. Start Unity 2018.1 -> Window -> Package Manager -> All -> Entities
Sounds good. But I think it's a bit confusing using the "Entity" moniker when there's a well-established data management framework in C# with the same name.
ECS was established well before C# came into existance
And after 3 years passed ECS isn't even in the preview packages anymore. ECS is still unusable for serious projects bc so much important details aren't explained anywhere well enough.
Such a quiet audience! Why do they never clap? Imho several of his statements were applaudable...
When an audience is in total shock, there's no clapping.
Eventually this "Monobehavior" ecosystem is going to be deprecated once everybody learn to use this ECS stuff. Hiring Mike to build this scripting system pretty much saved Unity's future...
But you have a looong way until you change the mindset of all average Unity "scripter" and have them all drop off the Monobehavior culture you've built, so good luck with that :)
