hi Patrick, i can let others chime in, but as i recall there's a number of
methods here. Patrick Sebastien's method uses libpd running directly in
Unity, and i must admit it's a little confusing for me to understand as
well.

another method uses Unity and PD separately during development but pairs it
with libpd at build time. however, if you're running a Kinect off of it,
then it sounds like it's more of an installation thing than an enclosed
app, so this could also work.

i would have a look at the Kalimba framework. it might be clearer as to
what's happening, with PD communicating to/from Unity separately via OSC.
here's the github for Kalimba:

good luck!


best,
scott
