Ah, I was hoping Unity would be good for "classic" 2D games, but I was mistaken. Entirely misconception on my part though and not fault of the engine. ...so doing pixelly 2D is entirely out? |

Well, for those who've investigated Unity, what prevents you from having 2D images as game characters, props, or settings? Isn't there support for adding your own collision detection on top of their basic onCollisionEnter methods?

Was really looking forward to the release of Unity on Windows. I have downloaded the setup but still not found the time and the patience to try it out.  |

I am now teaching myself Blender, just for this.

Overall Unity seems awfully interesting. Perhaps after my current projects I'll try do to a lofi-looking 3D game in it. lofi in the sense of using unfiltered textures and low polygon counts, but not because I have to but because I can, working within those limitations to create a style, instead of those uglyass Playstation-era games that tried to do too much with the little they had.

What is your opinion on using Unity to making something like Odin Sphere?
In other words: a 2D side-scroller, with parallax scrolling, hi-res characters with tons of animation, full screen particle systems.
+ lots of AI and game play tuning required. No physics or 3D required.
I know image based 2D is possible in Unity. Would the hassle of implementing 2D in 3D be worth for Unity's productivity boost in the AI and gameplay tuning phase?
I greatly appreciate any comments.
What other tool with comparable productivity would you recommend? I'm looking for cross-platform and ready to add game-play logic and art tools. TGB is not an option for me.

Ok  . Is Unity the best choice to make a game like Aquaria? |

I am really liking Unity so far. the editor seems a little buggy, but this is the first version of the Windows release, so I expect that will get better with time.

You know, a little off topic, but I've always wondered if people have ever tried to profit from applications built with pirated programs (which, considering Unity somewhat salty price, might be attractive to some people). Do the Unity dudes actually go around checking every game released made with their program to find if it's legit?

Coming from TGE, I'm more than impressed with the Unity demo. It's certainly going to be a purchase at some point in the future.
