Enhanced Unity and Unreal Engine SDKs

October 8 2024

Building games should be about the experience, not about struggling with backend complexities. At Sequence, we’re always focused on giving web3 game developers the tools they need to focus on what truly matters: crafting amazing gaming experiences.

Several months ago, we launched the Sequence Unreal and Unity SDKs to provide full Embedded Wallet and Indexer integration for web3 games built on Unreal and Unity.

Now we're thrilled to announce our latest updates to our game engine SDKs: Unreal SDK 1.3.0 and Unity 3.8.2! These updates offer web3 game developers enhanced tools for seamless player experiences. These new releases are designed to simplify onboarding, expand compatibility, and provide more streamlined development workflows—whether you're building with Unity or leveraging the power of Unreal Blueprints.

Unreal SDK 1.3.0: Blueprints, effortless onboarding, and backward compatibility

The latest Sequence Unreal SDK update brings some major improvements that aim to simplify both the development workflow for teams and the onboarding process for players. Here’s a look at what’s new:

• Blueprints support: We know many Unreal developers prefer working with Blueprints, and now, with this SDK update, Blueprints are fully supported for Unreal versions 5.4 and above. This means you can integrate Sequence’s functionality into your game in a highly visual, streamlined manner without needing extensive coding.

• Backward compatibility: Additionally, we’ve added backward compatibility with Unreal 5.2 and 5.3, allowing you to take advantage of these features without the pressure of upgrading your engine version.

• More ways to onboard players: Player onboarding is critical, and we’ve now expanded support for PlayFab and Guest Wallet authentication methods in our embedded wallet. Guest Wallets are perfect for players who want to jump right in—offering an ephemeral wallet that allows players to start playing immediately.

• Federated Authentication support: This version of the Unreal Engine SDK supports Federated Auth, which allows players to link multiple social accounts to a single wallet. This feature greatly enhances the gaming experience by offering seamless cross-platform access and a simplified login process.

Unity SDK 3.8.2: Seamless wallet integration and PlayFab support

For Unity developers, the new Sequence SDK release brings updated capabilities that will allow you to leverage the latest Sequence features, creating even better experiences for your players.

• Link web3 wallets to in-game wallets: Players can link their web3 wallets directly to their in-game wallet. This connection allows developers to check whether players hold specific items, grant access to special content, or enable easy asset transfers between in-game and external wallets.

• Streamline player onboarding with Guest Wallets: We’ve added the same Guest Wallet capabilities to our Unity SDK, minimizing friction in the onboarding process.

• Unified login experience: This iteration of the Unity SDK introduces support for Federated Auth, allowing players to connect multiple social accounts to a single wallet.

• Seamless PlayFab integration: The new Sequence Unity SDK now fully supports PlayFab as an authentication method.

Recap

The power of blockchain lies not just in its ability to bring real-world value to in-game items, but in the seamless integration and smooth experiences it enables. With these new updates to the Unity and Unreal SDKs, Sequence provides you with greater flexibility, compatibility, and ease of use. We can’t wait to see what you create with these new features!
