After years of developing little games and prototypes with Unity, I’ve seen the engine evolve in various ways, and progressively add quite the number of features.

Because Unity is a generalist engine, each new release can of course offer features in many domains — from graphics to tooling, sounds, optimisation, or even brand new scripting techniques. So, stepping to a new Unity version can be a hell of a ride, and an incredible moment of discovery.
