I am not too sure about this, but there was a post on this forum which said that Elixir and Unity 3D was combined.
I had to learn unity because it was a prerequisite for a job that I was going to get.
As far as I can tell the unity game engine is pretty comprehensive about everything and all-in-all a well built engine.
Combining it with elixir is an added advantage that’s all

I think Scenic it’s the giant step forward we needed to talk about GameDev in Elixir
I wrote about it here

You might be referring to the game InVected we (me and a couple of other guys, some from our company, some from the university) built for the last Global Game Jam, using Unity for the front-end, and Elixir+Phoenix for the back-end, which synchronized a very simple browser application on the user’s phone with the large Unity screen, allowing them to use their phones as ‘joysticks’. It was a lot of fun, and supports 14+ players (that’s as much as we’ve tested it with at the end of the 48h game jam).

That’s so cool. I love these type of games. Jackbox Party pack and Eon Altar are the ones I know that do it and those are SO MUCH fun with friends. I’ll check out the game and code!
In general, I think elixir is great for the server side as long as no heavy physics calculations/number crunching is involved.
I’m still very skeptical with Elixir for more involved graphics but am very happy to be proven wrong.

So I could create an Elixir server to manage data distribution and syncronizing objects through clients and make clients with a GameDev specialised tool that simply authenticates to the server…
If Elixir is intended for servers, then use it to create servers
