Unity 4 Game Engine Has Native Linux Support

[Detructor]

All I got out of the headline was that developers using this to make games can now click a "make Linux binary version too" button. I guess I'm just easier to please.

agreed. Also for once the headline was not out of proportion but right on. Bravo Michael.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that they said they would port the editor if it made them $250000 per year, which I'm going to guess is not likely to happen.

That said, it uses MonoDevelop for code, and since the remaining components are already on Mac, I can't see it being a $250000+ job to port. :/

BTW Unity is not !Unity Web Player!

May we see your expertly-developed engine, then?

There is already cross-platform free and commercial with linux support player based and compatiable with Blender game engine. What we see now it's Unity company that push own engine via media and get all talks about P but they really lacks linux ambitions..

You have to agree that many more game developers have chosen Unity over Blender so far...

Unity3D is the #1 most popular game engine for mobile games

Now anyone making Unity3D games can also make Linux games at the click of a button.

Apparently, that makes you unhappy.

Well, you can use Blender to create content to use in Unity. They work together nicely.

What makes me unhappy is that company not support linux end-users by default (but support macos,win) (again web player http://unity3d.com/webplayer/). I understand that is complex to build product cashflow .. but i think something is put upside-down Company must sale tools which grants access to market,and not making market by selling tools(vaporware).

Not official Releases, but there are two small test releases by betatesters i assume:

2d "shooter" with top view, nice graphical effects I guess:

Asteroids Clone "These were actually programming exercises made in Unity (hence the names)":

Both run nicely on the open source radeon driver. Maybe this is actually becoming a thing.

Too bad it is a proprietary game engine.

source or gtfo!

Open your wallet far enough and you'll get source.
