| Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates November 2026 – Abu Dhabi Gaming, the government-led initiative supporting the growth of Abu Dhabi’s gaming ecosystem, is partnering with Unity, the world’s leading platform for creating and growing real-time 3D (RT3D) content, for Community Developer Day Abu Dhabi on 12 November at Yas Conference Centre, Yas Marina Circuit.
The annual event will bring the games community together for six expert-led sessions, live demonstrations, networking and one-to-one project reviews with Unity specialists, covering the Unity 7 engine roadmap, AI-powered user acquisition and monetisation, command-line workflows and the development of commercial games.  Mark Schoennagel, Senior Manager, Advocacy at Unity, will explore how projects built in Unity 6 can progress towards Unity 7. Other sessions will cover Unity’s Grow products, including Unity Vector, as well as command-line workflows for faster development and deployment. Roadmap statements are forward-looking and subject to change. Also attending the event are Fateless founders Sham Saleh and Dan Francis, who will lead a fireside conversation on how the company says it built a creator community of three million fans before establishing its studio, and how this approach continues to shape the development of Godforge. The event will also feature live demonstrations developed with Unity Sentis, including a virtual world controlled through Arabic or English voice and text, and an Arabic-speaking AI avatar running on-device.
