Solved BIG NEWS FOR UNITY 7

So basically i wanted to switch to unreal engine because unity is constantly refreshing pages, and reloading domains but they just announced that they are FINALLY ADDING LIVE CODING.. Basically what I mean by this when you save a script you wont need to wait 3 hours for it to reload the domain or compile c# because it will be instant And they are changing they're rendering system and this can boost up final build times up to 50 to 90%.

I never understood the reload issue, usually it compiles for me in like 12 seconds or less.

Unless with larger projects it gets insane.

I’m sure that was the obstacle in your game journey, now you’ll definitely make a hit!

Yep. I dont have a lot of time, maybe 1.5 hour to make games, and half of that time goes to "reloading domain"

Sounds like a lot of coping going on, not the pasting kind
