Oodles 720 Mobile

Background

This is the first industrial-level project after I finished my master's course at Birmingham City University. Well, it is not a game, but I tried to apply what I learned from game development.

WELL, IT'S NOT A GAME but..... It looks like Sims 4 to me!

Oodles 720 is a one-stop solution for a property owner to design their house, flat or apartment within a visual environment. Besides, the app has a quotation system to estimate the price and time for the refurbishment.

Users can download different pre-designed floorplans as a reference when designing their style.

Study

To display "detailed" models and provide as smooth as possible user experience at the same time, here are some studies that I have done for this project so far:

1. Mobile memory optimisation
   1.1. release memory after cleaning the scene
   1.2. enable increment GC feature in build settings
   1.3. compress and resize textures for all models
2. Optimise framerate
   2.1. avoid putting codes inside Update, FixedUpdate and LateUpdate
3. Unity Addressables research and development
   3.1. on-demand request assets. Because the size of all assets is near 200GB, we can't put all assets into an app
4. Better folder structure, namespace control and code quality
   4.1. separate most of the codes in UI, Core, Database and Extension
   4.2. use namespace to align with the folder structure

Technologies Used

1. Unity3D
2. Rider
3. C#
4. Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
