[Unity] Introducing Unity 4

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
Quote:
David Helgason and Joachim Ante talk about the upcoming release of Unity 4, available now for pre-order - and what this means for character animation, and Unity's goal of democratising game development.

Also there's some more info here:

Quote:
Unity 4, the next generation of the Unity development platform, includes all-new character animation technology, more publishing options, shadows for mobile games, DirectX 11 support and many more key updates. Unity 4.0 is the first release in the Unity 4 series that will offer critical new features.

...

Unity add-on for Adobe Flash Player – a major global platform for your game

Publish to Linux and a market ripe for awesome Unity games

Might not seem like a big deal to you gamers out there, but game engine updates generally mean better games, or more games, or both. And just to note, this isn't released just yet, it's up for pre-order.

For those of you not familiar with Unity, it is fairly popular and can be used to make:

iOS (iPhone/iPod/iPad) games
Android
Mac
PC
Linux
and Facebook/Flash games.

Yeah, thanks for posting this. It's smaller, more obscure things like this that make interesting reads.

I've downloaded Unity, but I have yet to try working with it. I'll probably mess around in it tomorrow, some of the webapps that are made with it are awesome. And they can be ported directly over to Chrome's NaCl so that's a plus

Same, I want to wait until I know I'll put the effort into it to use my trial. Going to be doing tutorials again for UDK this upcoming weekend, so in no rush.

I can't wait for Unity to release it's new engine. I actually do know of Unity and I heard that it's pretty decent engine.
