What’s With All the Deprecations UNITY?

What’s with all the deprecations UNITY?

In December I learned that Unity 3D will be deprecating Unity Script/ JavaScript. As a JavaScript developer, it was kind of a rude awakening. I downloaded the newest version of Unity, created a project, added assets and game objects, then tried to add a JS script. Whoops! What happened to create new JS script? It took me a while to find the press release from Unity stating that they will be deprecating Unity Script. What the?

Then, this month, I read the beta release notes for the next version of Unity. There, snuggled in with a bunch of unimportant crap is a notice that Unity is deprecating MonoDevelop. We now will have to use Visual Studio? No offense, but VS is better at breaking code than making it. Plus, I just got MonoDevelop personalized.

So, Unity, what’s with all the deprecations? Bring us on board. Help us understand where you are going, so we can go along with you.

Until I receive an answer, I will be learning C# and Visual Studio. Ready to make a difference.
