Almost a month ago I said we’re preparing reports of Unity Web Player hardware statistics.
Well, here they are: unity3d.com/webplayer/hwstats
Operating system versions, desktop resolutions, graphics driver versions, shader models, memory sizes and some more. All broken down by quarter so some sort of “trends” can be seen (sure, changes can be caused by general hardware change or simply different people groups playing different games).
Enjoy!
Pretty much everyone knows Valve’s hardware survey - it’s a very valuable resource that shows what hardware the typical “hardcore PC gamer” has (that is, gamers that play Valve’s games).
However, the “casual gamer”, which is what Unity games are mostly targeted at, probably has slightly different hardware. “Slightly” being a very relative term of course.
Lo and behold - we have a glimpse into that data.

…I was on a plane bound for Copenhagen, a city I’d never been to in order to start working with a bunch of people I’d never met (other than talking with David over the phone). I had left Adobe wanting to find something new, something that would be more promising in terms of real-time 3D and games was concerned, and I was hoping to find all that at OTEE (now known as Unity Technologies). It all began a few months before that flight in late August of 2006, I had already announced my pending departure from Adobe to the Director user community and was only a few days away from leaving Adobe for good.
I’ll be in London from Monday morning through Thursday morning. Anyone want to meet up for coffee and tech-talk (or business-talk, that’s actually why I’ll be in town)?
We had a super lovely “full service” evening with some of the guys. I cooked dinner, and then cut Nicholas’ and Forest’s hair. I suspect Nicholas might blog about that later, he got some pretty cool pictures on his still-shiny iPhone… that little thing can really get our interface design juices going, triggering endless discussions about Apple’s highs and lows.
Afterwards I booked tickets for me and Joachim to go to Vienna tonight (Thursday).We have a meeting most (or all) of Friday, but if someone local has time I would love to have lunch with someone from the Unity universe on Saturday.
In any case I have to see the Secession house in Friedrichstraße 12, where I haven’t been since 1997 or so.
