This is Paul from Korea, RICHIT corp. One of Unity’s reseller.
So I wait for the release of the unity 3.
SAMSUNG existing in Korea market, but a mobile 1st leader.
Now you can rest assured that this is not Samsung Iphone lunched in the Korea market Also, when they become available ipad that its products are no longer in Korea is not a sales safety zone for SAMSUNG & LG.

Korean customers would like escape from domestic mobile market.
So much is expected, soon I’m crazy to want to see unity 3. ^_^

@Jedimace1: there are some hefty physics improvements coming, more than just tweaks and we’re not yet announcing the [free]/Pro feature split information, you’ll have to wait just a bit longer for specifics on those. Finally, licensing of Unity is not changing with the 3.0 release.

@Albert: we think that Unity offers a compelling package that you should choose instead of UDK, especially once Unity 3 is shipped (still “Summer 2010″, no specific release dates just yet).

@Paolo: it’s a pre-alpha demo video, there’s an entirely separate demo that we’re using at conferences/events where you’re a soldier moving through a city environment (different city/theme), so there is at least one in the works.

@Patrick: Unity’s support of consoles will remain as it is today, you will need to own Unity Pro, be an authorized developer with a dev kit for your console(s) of choice and then license our engine on a per-title basis. The cost structure for console licensing is definitely open for negotiation though so we can, and do, work with folks considering multiple titles or platforms (if interested, contact our sales crew at sales@unity3d.com).

My question, with a xbox 360 devkit, and Unity 3 pro, will I be able to run and test my game on the xbox 360?

My wishlist of features for 3.x will be:
-headless linux server build.
-possibility to create asset bundles at runtime for procedural and user uploaded content in normal build, headless server one or as a static or dynamic library.
-A fast and easy way to render customized character in one draw call.
-Vertex texture fetch to exploit some gpu potential over the slower scripting.
-Tts capabilites on webplayer that cannot access it over plugins(even mono doesn’t support system.speech .net i relly miss microsoft Anne).
-Direct loading of dds or loading of separate mipmap levels for textures and cubemaps.
-Runtime Cubemap Compression to compress cubemap generated at runtime on web player.
-asyncronous procedural texture generation(to generate asset on webplayer clientside mapzone like) support some kind of extra map generation from diffuse one ( crazybump like ).
-Partnership with an advertising company to publish in game advertising on webplayer in % revenue share on free versions and 100% user on pro versions.
-native Navigation mesh support(everyone hates waypoints or at least i hate them enough for everyone).
-native static and dynamic decal sys.
- spherical harmonics ambient therm on dynamic object as probably Beast just support it(seen on udk)but even a faker interpolated directional ambient color like source engine can work.
-More GUi power, batched one, cached?!?No visual editor just more powerfull.
-Cloth physic i don’t need it but many people care about those stupid things over the olds and goods fakes.

I don’t think people will read all this or the other 100k features on my long version wish list.

btw, the image splash looks like a bit gta IV…. interesting…

A web player for Linux would also be a great asset, but ironically it is probably not as important to me or our other developers as being able to run the development platform on Linux. On the other hand, Linux support for the web player would increase the number of people we can reach.

This is an amazing company. To everyone who works there. Don’t ever stop being as creative and daring as you guys are now. To add Beast was brilliant but to add everything you are adding to this new release makes this the new paradigm in game dev. You are changing lives in a positive way by giving us the tools to make our dreams into a reality. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!!

I think Unity is (consciously or unconsciously) spearheading the future of Game Development where one does not have code 10000 lines to see 1 pixel. It’s gonna be like how RAD tools (VS.Net etc…) have almost snatched application development from C/C++.

Unity is rapidly moving from being a Prototyping IDE to and AAA Game Development IDE. I am proud to say that with release of Unity 3… you’ll coin a new acronym in IT… R.G.D.-> Rapid Game Development. and Unity will be the leading platform for that.

Thank you for the wonderful work.

We’ll use native PC/Mac/etc font rendering, so anything the PC/Mac can do you’ll be able to do from Unity.
