Unity
Mike Nowak thinks that 2009 is going to be a big year for browser-based games:
If 2009 is going to see the emergence of high-quality browser-based games, then 2009 is going to be the year of Unity. It has: lots of powerful features; iPhone support (I see the Unity logo in a half of the iPhone games that I’m interested in), which is a space that Adobe has consistently failed to enter (it’s trying though); Wii publishing; a developing community (which was essential in spurring Flash’s early spread); quality developers using it; and an upcoming PC version. In short, it is about to make a major splash. I feel compelled to jump in with it — the indie license is cheaper than the Flash IDE.
Unity3D does look promising and and Indie license is only $199, a pretty nominal fee for those dedicated to the cause. I, for one, cann’t wait to see what the indie devs do with this.
