Android game, no shadows...

Question

Hello everyone, I am making an android game, pretty much simple one. I made an enviroment for game, aded directional light, it had nice looking shadows in editor, but, as soon as i exportet my project as .apk , shadows dissapeared. In editor, in game, everywhere. Since then, I am unable to get them back! Even not in the editor! I tried.to change project settings-> quality, to enable them, everything seems fine, but shadows are not here... Is there any way to make shadows in androud game? Game is simple, so shadows will be like jackpot.

And, another question, can I make skybox visible, and to have fog in same time, like to make distant, ground fog, because I am making endless runner game, so I don't want to make player able to see spawning buildings, but also want to make him see sky...

For your directional light check if Cast Shadows is checked.

And, another question, can I make skybox visible, and to have fog in same time.

Yes, you can.

I made it visible, but, I would like fog to go over the lower parts of skybox, while upper ones are clear, which is probably imposible, so I will you renderer opacity while "spawning" buildings, to make them not just fly in the scene...

Or you can bring in the buildings slowly to create make a visible effect of world being generated as user moves forward like they have done inside the Animus in Assasins Creed-III. This could also be nice effect, if you want.

It will be nice :) But, how do I make it? Is there any way to achieve this besides of changing opacity of object?

You can use a coroutine to Lerp the position of your objects from their starting point to their destination point in the track of the user.

I was having this problem too and then discovered that it was a limitation of the device I was using. On an Asus Nexus 7, shadows wouldn't appear no matter what I did in the Quality Settings. I switched to a Lenovo Yoga 2 tablet and shadows appeared just fine, even when quality was set to Good.
