    Sorry to be such a noob here, my expertise is Audio but I am helping some funded friends to (1) scope a project, (2) evaluate tools, and (3) assemble a team.

    which brings me to the question:

    Is the Unity engine able to produce a game that is web-based yet accessible from any web-enabled i-OS / Android devices? The goal is for players to compete live with other players across all platforms in real-time - am i making sense here?

    You can build a web version and an iOS/Android version of the game from (largely) the same code and assets but you can't access the webplayer version from the iPhone. A separate build will be required.

    So WiFi enabled devices wont see the same thing and the game would only be playable at the same time on the server-side of things but not from the same front end version... if I am understanding... thanks &E

    The webplayer plugin doesn't work on IOS if that is what you're asking.
