    Hi there !

    Will there be a Unite opening keynote live stream like last year ?

    Mike


    Recap of the event:
    • 1.2 Million devs, 300k monthly active
    • in use by 53% of mobile developers, 300k active monthly users, 2-5% of all software developers worldwide
    • Asset Store - new category: Online Services, some awesome stuff!
    • Mecanim demo
    • Particle collisions on mesh colliders and dynamic objects...10,000 particles, all colliding with world objects, no problem!
    • Unity 4's DirectX 11 demo
    • Unity to support Windows 8 WinRT and Windows Phone 8 apps! "build once, deploy anywhere"!
    • Announcement: Shipping Unity4 public preview for our customers.
    • Procedural metaballs used for cgi quality explosions in realtime
    • From the labs : new timeline
    • New prefab system (NFOP finally !) : support nesting, You can then expose individual properties (NFOP not sure what that means)
    • Demo of the new GUI system. Uses some sort of delegates (similar to C# but better apparently)

    Asked me the same question as well. I don't think they do but as last year hopefully the Keynote video will be uploaded by the end of the day.

    Yea... it's not much but it's something. Love to know more about Windows 8 and phone support. Wondering if that is an additional add on like Android and iPhone. Hope not...

    Thanks for the info, can't wait to see the video. Does anyone know if they will for sure be posting the video by the end of the day? Have they done that kind of thing in the past?

    The wishlist and roadmap is more like a live feedback session, the main message behind it, the devs are listening!

    Bummer. I would have loved to have gone this year, but Europe was just too far! Hopefully we get some more comprehensive stuff here soon. I know they posted a picture of a talk on the new GUI, anyone know if they plan on including that in 4.0 or is it later down the 4.x pipeline?

    I am sure they once said/wrote that the new GUI won't make it into 4.0.

    They've just said they can't give a date, but it won't be available before a least 3 to 6 months
