I'm a Unity fan-boy. Deploys to almost every modern platform and uses a "code-once" approach so porting from Android to IPhone to PC to Linux is largely straightforward.
It lets you code in a subset of javascript or c# 3.0 and favors composition over inheritance. Just an incredible tool for productivity and the learning curve is pretty gentle. It also has a large community and a bunch of plug and play assets available in a built in marketplace. Be sure and check it out.
- timhaegblom 13y agoUnity looks nice. It's a shame I'm on Linux. Maybe it's worth it to dual-boot.
- jmatthews 13y agoWas about to say it deploys to Linux but I assume the editor doesn't run on Linux. Having a couple of decades alternating between serious game development and just dabbling I can't stress enough how big the delta between Unity and competing products is. A great indicator is all of the new kickstarter projects from big names in the business switching to Unity. Richard Garriot, The new wasteland game, etc...
- zura 13y agoI hate so much the designer approach of Unity, a lot of time is wasted in tinker in that complex UI... I wish it had support for fully code-only projects, even if it would require some boilerplate code.
