Pokemon Go

So, Im quite interested in this thread as I am an independent consultant, working in this area. I have had nearly all my clients ask about using it in their projects, whether or not its fit for purpose. The whole notion of it being outside and the fact you have to move around also makes it very interesting. From a technology point of view, its a very very clever use of Augmented Reality which I have never been a fan of. Its also added several 100 million $ to the valuation of the games engine it was made in.

I too am annoyed by people jumping in front of cars, standing in shop doorways and needing rescue by the RNLI but I do marvel at the use of this technology, the development effort and the innovation employed to create this app.

And yes... I did also download it...

I have to say the tech behind it is great...it's a whole new ball game with app development and where it can go from it. Regarding ideas etc.

What engine was it built in? I know of unity as I've played around with it when flappy birds came out and made a copy of it to see how easy it was to develop one game a for all three platform's.

To my surprise it was fairly easy but never went in from there...just didn't have an idea that was unique.

[MENTION=13448813]SHAMZ84[/MENTION] - yes it was built in Unity! Very good engine, I'm not a developer but all the projects I have delivered have all been in Unity!
