Twitter woos game makers by integrating its Fabric development suite into Unity

Twitter is shifting toward mobile services, and now it’s teaming up with one of the most popular game-development engines to expedite that transition.

The social-networking company announced today that it is integrating Fabric, its suite of development tools, into the Unity software toolkit. This means that developers can now build hooks to Twitter from directly inside of Unity with the click of a few buttons. This also enables studios to quickly integrate Twitter tools into their games. These include the intelligent bug-reporting features of Crashlytics as well as the ad network MoPub to help a free game generate revenue. Twitter is positioning this as its way of helping developers working in the $34.8 billion mobile-gaming business.
