Player Settings & Branding

Player Settings & Branding

The Player Settings panel contains settings for application names, company branding, screen resolutions, and compilation rules.

Accessing Player Settings

1. Open File -> Build Settings.
2. Click the Player Settings button in the bottom-left.

Core Settings Panels

• Branding: Configure your Company Name, Product Name, and Version.
• Icon: Upload images to serve as the application icon.
• Resolution and Presentation:
• Fullscreen Mode: Sets the game to launch in Fullscreen, Windowed, or Borderless window modes.
• Supported Aspect Ratios: Restricts screen rotation or scaling modes (crucial for mobile games).
• Splash Image: Customizes the logo animations shown when the game starts.

Other Settings (Scripting Backend)

Scroll down to Other Settings to configure code compilation:

• Scripting Backend:
• Mono: Compiles code using JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation. Faster compile times, but slower execution.
• IL2CPP (Intermediate Language to C++): Converts C# code to C++ first, then compiles it using native compilers. Slower compile times, but significantly faster execution and required for platforms like iOS, WebGL, and major consoles.

TL;DR

• Access Player Settings via Build Settings -> Player Settings.
• Configure company name, application icons, and resolution limits.
• Mono compiles quickly for development.
• IL2CPP converts code to C++ for optimal performance and console compatibility.
