Written by Daniel Lurie | Wednesday, August 24, 2005

Unity is a 3D game editor which happens to contain one of the most advanced game engines out there. Packed with power it is built to meet the demands of next-generation game developers. Create dazzling, different, captivating games with state of the art technology such as the Ageia physX™ Physics Engine, the most modern graphical effects, and highly optimized JavaScript. And when you are done with your prototype, publisher demo, or gold master, you are only one click away from having a Windows runtime, a Mac runtime, a Browser version, or even a Dashboard Widget. One source. No differences.

Highlights of new features in Unity 1.1 include:

• Windows standalone deployment of games made with Unity is now fully supported

• A 30 page scripting tutorial making it a lot easier to get started with scripting
• Greatly expanded documentation with many new examples of how to achieve various effects
• Possibility to extend the functionality of Unity-made games with through a new C/C++ plug-in SDK to interface with any hardware or software Unity doesn’t support out of the box
• Big game workflow has been greatly improved allowing the entire flow of arbitrarily sized games to be designed, tested, and tuned inside Unity.
• Asynchronous internet access supported in an easy-to-use API
• And of course the usual host of minor improvement and bug-fixes are included

Unity 1.1 is a free upgrade for existing customers, and the early adopter rebate will still be available for a short time.
