Phenomenal Unity iPhone Game Engine Offered Free.. Or Is It?
Hi everybody, just wanted to clear something up. I received a message on MSN stating that the popular Unity game engine for iPhone was now being offered for free, this was exciting, and I decided to go check things out. So here’s what’s really going on.
The Unity Indie edition has now been completely removed. This was the lower priced version of Unity that required you to show a splash screen and had several features removed that existed in the much more expensive Unity Pro version. Unity Indie is renamed just plain Unity which is now free.
What will Flash support for the iPhone really mean for developers?
You may have heard that Adobe Flash CS5 will include support for the iPhone. Due to Apple’s restrictions on code interpreters the flash will actually be compiled to native machine code rather than run through an interpreter. You can read the blog post on Adobe’s website about the addition of iPhone compatibility in Flash CS5 here.
So what does this mean? Will this change anything?
