gamestudio is going to die soon. Unity3d is a beast now! it dominates this whole indie game developer business. Just the fact that when you create something awesome they give you the choice of publishing it as an iPhone app (very popular), Android app, iPad app, wii game, web browser game, or simply a cpu game is enought for me.Not to mention that you can you use shaders for free.The only "niche" gamestudio has is that its users dont really want to learn c# or any new language.i'm willing to sacrifice a month or 2 for all the features unity has.
