* ''VideoGame/SuperNeptuniaRPG'' (RPG, 2019)

The engine has experienced a particular boom after the rise of Website/{{Kickstarter}} as a game-funding platform in 2012, with the success of ''Unity''-based KS heavyweights ''VideoGame/Wasteland2'' and ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'' [[FollowTheLeader paving the way]], making it a SpiritualSuccessor of sorts to ''UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash'' in terms of lightweight game development, with Unity being free to use also helping in that regard. The boom lasted until ca. 2015, when Creator/EpicGames' drastic loosening of Unreal Engine 4's licensing policies made it just as attractive to indie devs. Unfortunately, the boom has also given Unity something of a [[https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jul/06/unity-indie-gamings-biggest-engine-john-riccitiello stigma]] amongst gamers, associating Unity with poorly optimized games and low-quality UsefulNotes/{{Shovelware}} titles on Google Play and Platform/{{Steam}}, at least some of which were made with stolen assets and/or are developed more for [[MoneyDearBoy ad revenue]] from impressionable children or unwitting users.[[note]][=iOS=] and Android has [=APIs=] for banner and popup ads allowing developers to earn revenue in order to make up for the app being offered for free.[[/note]]

''Unity'' (a.k.a. ''[[https://www.unity.com/ Unity 3D]]'') is a cross-[[VideoGameGenres genre]] cross-[[VideogameSystems platform]] UsefulNotes/GameEngine with built-in level and script editors that's been around in some form since 2005. While not as optimized for high-end [=CPUs=] and [=GPUs=] as the big engines (UsefulNotes/UnrealEngine, id Tech, [=CryEngine=], etc.), it enjoys a lot of love in the IndieGame scene thanks to its ease of use, flexibility, and, most of all, its liberal licensing policies. The basic version is free for anyone, and the pro version with more nifty features costs just $1500 per license [[note]]Licensing costs for some of the other major engines can range well into the millions for commercial development.[[/note]] (with additional add-on licenses needed for console and MobilePhoneGame development).
