Paradise City is a real-time simulation which presents behaviors occur in big city. In the project many actions are performing independently of each other. The main goal is created the full of life environment with a lot of characters and vehicles. Specific people have their own sequences of the behaviors which is executed in proper order.
The created project is a kind of benchmark. The user can use the existing settings to test their own computer hardware. This allows to rate the advantages and disadvantages of individual components. Additionally, the developer can get to know the test environment used better. The obtained knowledge will enable the creation of more efficient programs using Unity in the future.
The list below presents most important properties:
- Beautiful city with many buildings, street props and decorations.
- Traffic with different types of vehicles.
- Rural area surrounded by wild trees.
- Group of people doing many special actions.
- Day and night cycle providing extra feelings.
- Special sounds effects that imitate big city life.
- Main menu that allows switch simulation settings.
- Simple manager that enables changing camera control keys.
The list of used solutions:
- Unity 2019.4.2f1 - Efficient and expanded game engine.
- Visual Studio Code 1.52.1 - Primary, lightweight IDE.
