It works flawless. Bringing a max model into a scene required almost no knowlegde compared to "build a rocket" feeling with the quake series engines. Getting phys working was so easy that I though I missed something. Only complain is the trial status as I will never produce a product, only samples and info so 30 days to learn a new scripting language and object model is a bit harsh, but no complains as its truely a bless to work with. Even for limited time. I even considered reinstalling WindowsXP as I missed a week of the trial being busy at work. I know thats cheating but Hey! Im in love:) Thank you for bringing it to Windows.

Unity3D seemed like a good option too. Really, I was considering referring Unity3D to others because I thought that full-fledged Linux support would be soon available because of this. Meh, I guess I'll look elsewhere. @Aras: well, that sucks. Unity3D seemed like a good option too.

The engine itself is C++, and large parts of the editor (like the asset pipeline) are in C++. Porting that to a new platform is never easy. @King: Mono/C# is used for the user interface.

The Unity engine uses Mono already, right? So it is just a matter of recompiling to use Mono on Linux. @Tom Higgins: If the IDE was remade using C#, then you could just use Mono to build a Linux version of your IDE, right?

The player is a different situation and so you may see that, but for now a Linux editor just doesn't seem in the cards. @Stephan: no, we don’t have any plans nor notions of bringing the authoring tool to Linux as the cost/benefit ratio is simply not there.

Any thoughts about a linux editor version? I think that would lead to a game explosion on linux :) Cheers, Stephan Nice to see windows support. Any thoughts about a linux editor version?

Once you have the file inside your project then you can move it about between operating systems no problem.
