Unity 2.0 Coming This Summer!

There'll be a mail all right. Another good thing to do is to subscribe to the front page news RSS.

d.

 

Ah, yep. That makes sense.

 

I second this, I think all those of us that started up the UniTree project are really excited to learn how it was incorporated into 2.0 so we can start preparing vegetation now for when 2.0 comes out. -Jeff

 

Will I be able to make a cube go up and down as if by magic in Unity 2.0? I've been dreaming of that for a long time....

 

Sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night. :|

 

More simple scripts included. Oh yes, that'd be nice for users. Timer scripts, scoring scripts, lots and lots of new simple script examples make artist-coders happy.

Hello Jeff!
Been out of the loop a while, is your email address the same?

is the right-click in web-player functionality feature going to make it in to 2.0, before maybe??

 

When 2.0 is released will it have new tutorials as well?

Are those tutorials available now, so we can get a jump start?

Will there be any immediately available tutorials on networking?

On a scale of 1-10(10 being hardest); how hard will it be to create something like Sony's "Home" with Unity 2.0? link to video: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/78617.html

 

Or for me, on a scale of 1-10 (10 being hardest); how hard will it be to create something like a simple two or four-player online card or racing game with Unity 2.0?

 

Guys, 1-10 rankings are way too hard to provide as it's highly dependant on your specific skill set, familiarity with networked content development, etc. I didn't watch the whole Home video but that does seem like something that's possible as are any turn-based or live-action multiplayer games.

 

There's a guy walking in a lightmapped big home. The most difficult part is the gui, if you are a good artist it's not that hard.

 

Let me re-ask the question then

If someone is already capable to produce the graphics at a professional level, how hard will the networking peice be in Unity?

Will it be point and click to add network attributes?

not worried about the art or gui at all. Can you give a scenario? Will there be tutorials specific to creating a 3d chat room of sorts? Or realtime racing?

My question really has nothing to do with graphics all about how hard it will be to program the networking features for an artist.

 

Home is basically a completely generic MMO (not MMORPG, just MMO....dosomething), so he's basically wondering how easy the networking code for something like that will be. I'm sure there will be scripts on the wiki in short order (if not included with 2.0) that will make such a generic game world easy (as easy as the architectural walkthroughs are in Unity 1.x)

 

Excellent!!

 

Amen!

 

I came late to this thread:

I'm willing to help make that happen.

 

Sooooooo 2.0 will be released within the next 30 days right? as August ends the summer....

 

Nope, summer doesn't end until around September 21. Sorry. Man, I've never seen people wanting summer to end so soon....

--Eric

 

Astrologically, Summer ends near the end of September for the Northern Hemisphere.

Meteorologically, it ends at the beginning of September... so...

let's just hope they aren't talking Southern Hemisphere. ;-)

 

Yeh Aaron, it's "Winter" here in Sydney ... 23DegC, so technically it's Summer, and it ain't going to end until next year!

Phew,


JW

 

Summer starts when unity 2.0 comes out... period

soooooo hows about some more tidbits on unity 2.0.....


does it cook sandwiches??? cause i think i speak for all of us when i say that feature is overdue

 

Another voice for sandwiches! In Unity, and well... in general!

 

Yes, I believe it is time to discuss the feature set of said "sandwiches".... Perhaps some "tomato" or "lettuce"? There must be some sort of secret meat that we can get a little peek at... "turkey", "roast beef" perhaps... and spicy mustard, mmmm spicy mustard...

:-D

 

The real deadline is to ship it before the conference Oct 10. Pushing back to that date wouldn't surprise me, with a release this big, but I expect we'll see it last week of Sept.

I can has shadows now?

 

can you keep that in? looks cool!

 

(Me chortles...)

Can I see others shotz plz?

 

lol @ polytropoi and jeffcraighead


those two posts made my day

 

Man I'm getting really hungry... I wish my sandwich would show up. :-D

Jeff

 

Can ya'll throw us a bone or something?or a dog biscuit? maybe a scooby snack?(new screenshot)

Is it still gonna be summer?

 

Despite wanting to see v2 released, I'm glad OTEE isn't rushing it...

I'd rather have good and elegant than half-implemented!

 

im totally fine with waiting for it, i just want some more tidbits of info to hold me over

 

Yeah, and I'm still waiting to hear about the sammiches!

:: goes and makes lunch heh ::

 

the "editor across 2 monitors" and "runtime app at fullscreen across 2 monitors" is the question running around in my head...

Any word?
AC

 

I thought this was already possible (although I haven't tried it yet). I thought if your display was set up for "double" wide screen display that screen resolution would appear in the options for the loader. Or did I miss something?

 

Cool! You guys can put that on the website:

* Fish filtered Shadows! No bait needed!

Perhaps this could replace the vague / misleading "Secure Deployment" item?

 

I vanatu goat ze hotel!

(sorry, my post-annoucement/pre-release eurphoria is wearing off...)

 

So Aras, what happens when the correct size is used? :-D

Jeff

 

Your attempt at turning Distribution Functions into French Nouns has been noticed (=)(=)

 

Casemon, time to get back in your cell... Heeeeere Casemon!

-Jeremy

 

/me slaps Jeremy in the face with a white glove

 

So ... any further news on the release ... ? I'm getting really twitchy.

JW

 

Please tell us something OTEE!!!!!!

 

We are all still alive! And we're working very hard on finishing up 2.0. Tom and I are in Austin, TX right now for the Austin Game Developer's Conference. We're showing off some slick demos of Unity 2.0. So progress is being made, but the wait goes on... [/cheap apple press release ripoff]
