Summary

Unity, a popular and beginner-friendly gaming engine, is widely used by both indie developers and AAA studios, but creating a game from scratch remains challenging. To enhance game development accessibility, Stream has introduced an SDK that simplifies the integration of in-game chat functionality for Unity developers. This SDK, written in C#, allows for custom solutions by enabling detailed manipulation of its functions and uses WebSockets to support real-time communication. It offers features like channel management, message handling, user management, and essential moderation tools. Stream's Unity Chat SDK aims to improve player engagement and studio performance metrics by facilitating player connections, with pricing based on monthly active users and a free tier available for personal projects and early-stage startups.
