Unity Options

[Rukiri]

I'm now just getting back to work on things, will be absent for most of the week do to changing computer cases and because removing the power supply from my GPU is a pain in the **** I'll be taking it slow and plan where to route all the cables.

Now because my time is limited but not that limited I decided to use unity for my 2D RPG, I find RPG Maker utterly limited and because I know what I want I decided to write it myself in Unity.
Unity was made for 3D games but can be used for 2D games pretty easily, there are tools for making tile-maps, there's sprite manager 2, 2d toolkit, mapping editors like tidy and unitile and toolkits like uni2d which is what I'll be using for the most part and it seems a lot more versatile than using a tile map editor.

I'll be releasing a small demo, basically Mario Level 1-1 using Uni2D and updated graphics as mario from nes needs it but won't go overboard.

I would recommend Unity for those who still want a editor/toolkit but don't have the time for strict C++.

Unity 4 has been released, this month (don't remember the exact date) so I'll be working on several 2D tutorials mainly starting with the basics and moving on up. I'm also new to unity, so this aught to be fun.

Unity 4 does support the latest version of Direct X and OpenGL.

So can't wait to update! Will probably wait til the weekend to do anything.
