Long term vision of 2D tools regarding DOTS?

msfredb7 · Mar 27, 2020

Hello!

I watched yesterday's roadmap update stream and it mentioned that the main goal for 2D was improving upon what is already here.

Since it didn't mention DOTS at all, I was wondering what was the long term vision for that. How does Unity see 2D and DOTS in the far future (let's say in 2022+)? Will the tools like the Tile Map, 2D Renderer, etc. ever make their way in DOTS-land ? Or are they going to remain gameobject-exclusive.

I asked the same question in the roadmap Q&A, but nobody answered me. Is it just something that can't be answered right now?

Anyway, thanks for any info

EDIT: I got a response on the Q&A:

The plan for 2D and DOTS is to start with foundational 2D features. For example, we are looking at sprite rendering, batching and sorting as well as some collision detection features as part of an early in-development package targeting DOTS Runtime/Project Tiny. You can join the discussion on that here.
Following on from that we will explore and develop support for our higher level tools for world-building and animation all while being guided by needs expressed in user projects. This is ongoing work that is planned over the next couple of years.
