" We will be releasing soon. As we don't have a hard date published, we are looking to launch 2.5 by end of Feb. For updates and the latest and greatest, please signup for our newsletter at: http//unity3d.com.
More to come! "

i skimmed throuch the unity web site and it seems like you have to own the PRO license($1500) to be able to build windows standalone exe files.
with 2.5 will it be possible to create windows executables with indie license?
anyone has any idea.
@amy: yeah, sort of. i mean not all these should be done in 1.5 months but, process should speed up. tools and editors(and some engine features) are aging and not so attractive for artists and beginners( over other engine's tools.). Conitec may hire some new guys to speed things up.

anyone has any idea. Yes, it will be possible to publish to Windows and OSX with Unity Indie. They stated this several times on their forum. This limitation wouldn´t make sense anymore. ...I just have noticed that in Euros the price difference between Gamestudio Pro and Unity Pro isn´t that big...

You get better and faster workflow and thus you can prototype or finish a game faster. And there are so many Max and Maya users around, they can easily afford such an engine

And what say JCL and Conitec to this?
Warum meldet sich bei so einem Brisanten Thema keiner von Conitec.
Immerhin könnte Unity mehr User abziehen als Conitec lieb ist. Laut der Homepage sieht es einfach geil aus! Und das ist der Preis mehr wert als Gamestudio.
Sorry für die harten Worte.
Aber Gamestudio bräuchte eine Generalüberholung, was die Benutzerfreundlichkeit, vor allem aber die veralteten Editoren angeht.

Warum meldet sich bei so einem Brisanten Thema keiner von Conitec. What shall they say? If they could have done a complete resetting of Acknex with the implementation of several platforms etc., they would have done it. Anybody can only do what he can do. That's it. I think that the Unity3D success is based on a unique financial and organizing setting with a big investment. And with their concept they are several years ahead.

Gamestudio ist ein Klasse Authorensystem.
Aber der Stand ist einfach schon so weit veraltet, dass mit Sicherheit die meisten früher oder später wechseln werden.
Die meisten Engines, die zur Zeit auf dem Markt sind, bieten weit aus mehr, als es GS kann. Und die Preise sind alle erträglich.
Ich würde es schade finden, wenn durch Unity andere Engines aussterben.
Aber fakt ist: Wenn Conitec seine User, bzw. Kunden, die teilweise viel Geld dafür bezahlt haben, behalten will, müssen sie Gamestudio aufbohren.
Versteh mich nicht falsch. Als ich mir die Commercial gekauft habe, für 200 € und die Editoren gesehen habe, dachte ich ob mich Conitec verarschen will. Denn selbst damals, war der Worldbuilder von Half-Life 1 bei weitem besser.
Heutige Engines liegen meilen weit voraus. Das ist leider so.
Aber ich muss sagen, dass ich Gamestudio lieb gewonnen habe.
Ich gebe zu; es ist nicht einfach, eine bestehende Engine komplett von vorne an neu zu schreiben. Also müsste eine neue her, mit einer Upgradeoption. Sozusagen, die, die schon ein GS haben, bekommen die neue billiger.
Warten wir einfach ab, was die Zukunft bringen wird.
