The Indie version, which until now had a price tag of $ 200, is now free for both commercial and non-commercial games, unless the company making it is not making more than $ 100.000 per year. In this case, one has to buy the Unity Pro package, which also has some advanced features.<\/p>\n<p>This announcement is actually pretty funny since some days I ago I was hovering over the button to actually buy the indie version. I only have some small gripes with Unity, for example that it&#8217;s not possible to link to the engine directly from C++ or embed it in a normal application, e.g. to build an editor. On the other hand, especially with the move of going free, I guess Unity will see some more growth with lots of people using it, and the Unity plugin seems to me to be the best bet for a competitor for Flash in the 3D web games area.<\/p>\n<p>Also interesting is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamasutra.com\/php-bin\/news_index.php?story=25840\">announcement<\/a> to work on a XBox 360 version of Unity, after already supplying Nintendo Wii and iPhone versions, with the latter being used in some top selling iPhone games.<\/p>\n<p>I will now definitely add a Unity game to my list of planned projects!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a really great move, the makers of the Unity game package have released the newest version of the engine (2.6) for free.
