Streamlined Google Play Asset Delivery! Supercharge Your Unreal Engine Android Projects with Easy Google PAD!
Easy Google PAD streamlines the complexities of Google's Play Asset Delivery (PAD), handling the heavy lifting of implementation within your Unreal Engine workflow. This powerful integration empowers you to bypass Google Play's 150MB file size limit, delivering a tailored and optimized user experience for your Android projects.
Enjoy enhanced flexibility with install-time, fast-follow, and on-demand asset loading. Drastically reduce CDN costs by strategically utilizing Google PAD's generous free 2GB allocation, and boost your game's visual quality without sacrificing a quick initial download. Easy Google PAD is built in C++ for maximum performance and minimal overhead, ensuring smooth integration into your development process.
Even projects exceeding 2GB benefit significantly from Easy Google PAD. Use the free 2GB tier for core elements like menus and initial levels, ensuring a smooth first-time experience, while keeping DLCs and rarely visited areas on your CDN for updates and flexibility. Intelligently download high-quality assets during gameplay or loading screens to showcase your game's best visuals.
