Interesting link, MaxF. I found this very interesting:

"The company launched support for the latter two platforms (Wii, and iPhone in addition to PC and Mac platforms) in 2008 and also tripled its userbase. The developer more than doubled its staff in the past year as a result."

So it pays if you support more than one platform. Very interesting. But I also read that most of the Torque users are PC users even if other platforms are available.
This also means that many PC hobbyists are there at the market and could switch to Unity if it is available.

I think Unity has some weaknesses (e.g. scene management, no source code), but the tools are probably the best at the market and this helps to get fast into it. I don't know about the scripting learning curve.

if UNITY will be available many other engines will die..
So lets just wait.... Cant expect to buy it...

Wii support is very interesting, but I'll jsut wait a little longer when the first opinions of new users are available to see if I should invest more time into it.

@Machinery_Frank; weaknesses = "scene management"

When I email the company about the windows version they said that scene management was very easy to code and many people have done their own.

I do think Unity totally rocks - its more to do with workflow as well the engine.

they plan end of feb..

where do you have this info from? end of feb? That would be great

As long as I could read from the link MaxF posted, the Windows port already has been presented at an Unity-conference. So it must be existent:



I am looking forward to that.

beautiful :D, i can afford a new engine but not a new mac :P

End of Feb? It seems they had been working on it more than a (few) year ago. How come they can so quiet?

Unity News

Unity CEO Dave Helgason that we realize quite how important this step is to the company, and to the future of its impressive engine.

I bit old news but good
