Pausing a Unity game is easy. There are a couple of things you should be aware of, but we’ll get to those at the end of this tip. We’re going to add a few simple GUI buttons to control time within a basic Unity project.

Unity is a multi-platform game development tool, designed from the start to ease creation, which just happens to contain the most powerful 3D engine this side of a million dollars.
