"Return to Empire" is a 3D massively multiplayer online strategy mobile game developed by TiMi Studio Group. Strategy games often face the demand for large-scale battles with thousands of people on the same screen. At this time, the performance of mobile phones becomes a bottleneck. As a high-quality full 3D strategy mobile game, "Return to Empire" faces even more difficult problems. After continuous research and development iterations, "Return to Empire" based on the application and practice of the Unity DOTS technology stack, finally achieved very good game effects and performance, and established a quality benchmark for SLG mobile games in large-scale battles.
DOTS methodology:
(1) Dependency Analysis and Optimization.
(2) ECS and non-ECS in parallelization.
(3) Split logic and visualization.
(4) Support frequency control on demand.
DOTS Workflow Optimization:
(1) Assets compatible with asset production pipeline.
(2) Multithreading solves performance bottlenecks in the main thread.
(3) Efficiently supports Instanced Rendering.
This is for developers who are working on game titles that require large-scale computing, and are seeking optimization solutions.
