New Features:

• The ClientDriven bitesize sample has been refactored to integrate Unity’s Third Person Character Controller Starter Asset. The sample now features a PlayerPrefab inside NetworkManager that is a networked variant of the Starter Assets character prefab. Other improvements include:
  • Input polling via the new Input System
  • Connection UI utilizing UI Toolkit
• All three samples (ClientDriven, 2DSpaceShooter, and Invaders) have received a visual overhaul.
• All three samples have been updated to Netcode for GameObjects v1.2.0 & Unity 2021.3.15f1 LTS.

Compatibility:

Bitesize Samples now support the most recent LTS version of the Unity editor.

If you choose to use it with previous editor versions, you will experience compatibility issues with some aspects of the project. If you are currently running Bitesize Samples with 2020LTS, we recommend upgrading to 2021 LTS at the earliest opportunity via the Unity Hub.
