The future of mobile gaming is not Nintendo and Sony, but Apple and maybe Android (if they can solve the hardware incompatibility issues long term so one game can run on all current android phones). |
well with this little handy Multi-platform Game engine, I think it's not going to be long before other's make very robust type of Game Engine's also like this one for HandHeld's! and it's very reasonable in it's price!
Unity Technologies Unveils Third Generation of Its Powerful Development Platform
Unity 3.0 Adds Groundbreaking New Features and Support for Android, iPad and PlayStation® 3, Becoming the Engine with the Broadest Support on the Market
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - March 8, 2010
Unity for Android is the first non-Apple handset to be added to the Unity family allowing developers to reach new audiences on mobile devices. With these combined platforms, Unity developers will be in a position to reach the growing 75 million iPhone / iPod Touch devices as well as the 60,000 Android devices now shipping daily.
"The challenge and opportunity for developers today is ubiquity," said Richard Hilleman, Chief Creative Director at Electronic Arts during his keynote at Unite 2009. "People playing games today want their entertainment on demand and portable, so reaching them on multiple devices and offering experiences that fit their lifestyle is key."
For version 3.0, Unity Technologies has kept Unity, its entry level product, free for commercial use. Its premier product, Unity Pro, will retain its current price of $1500 per developer seat. Current Unity Pro owners will be able to upgrade to version 3.x for $750.
A final release date is planned for this Summer. Developers can gain first access to beta builds of version 3.0 prior to the final release by pre-ordering Unity Pro 3.0 from the Unity Website at www.unity3d.com. Pre-order customers will also get their Unity Pro 3.x licenses at a substantial discount: $1200 per seat for new licensees and $500 per seat for 2.x upgrades.
