![]() ![]() ![]() This means games made with the new version will no longer be able to use the Web Player as an export target to begin with, old versions will still be able to export to Web Player, but I doubt the Web Player itself will receive any further attention from Unity, given its EOL status.Īll these things combined, truly add up to the end of Unity Web Player as a viable online games plugin. As such you should not expect any ‘old’ Unity Web Player games to be converted to WebGL and as such they will essentially become unplayable without installing some dedicated software on your computer (which will most likely not be able to interface with the Kongregate API and hence all badges from Unity games will become unobtainable).įurthermore Unity has announced that Unity Web Player will cease to be supported from their end, starting with version 5.4, expected to be released somewhere in the first half of next year (March 2016). ![]() WebGL is slightly less functional than what was possible in the Web Player, so this export target has to be taken into account when developing for WebGL with Unity. You could try your luck with IE10 and ActiveX based Unity plugins, but most Unity games run poorly on IE and IE10 is also no longer receiving any attention besides the obligatory security patches for the duration of the Windows 8.1 support cycle.Īny and all new Unity games will have to be exported to WebGL to be browser playable. If you want your browser to be ‘safe and smooth’ and thus updated, you will no longer be able to play any Unity Web Player based games, since Firefox was the last up-to-date holdout for NPAPI support and Unity is not planning on producing a new plugin based on PPAPI. This will effectively also end support for Unity Web Player based games. This end of support is planned for the end of next year (2016). In succession to both Microsoft (Edge) and Google (Chrome and Chromium dependants), Mozilla (Firefox) has now announced the complete stop of support for NPAPI-type plugins (exception for Flash). ![]()
