I am a Flash web games developer based in the UK. For a few months now I have been aware of new technologies and new platforms in the casual games market.
Having dabbled with various new languages and packages I have decided to give Unity 3d a go. It's ability to export to web, iPhone and PC/Mac (amongst many others!) has swayed my decision to look at as a medium to long term alernative to Flash for my development.
Over the coming few days, weeks and maybe months I will share my experiences programming Unity 3d, and document my progress in evaluating its strengths and weaknesses in the games development market.
If, like me, you are a complete novice to Unity 3d but have some games programming knowledge then please follow me and hopefully we can learn plenty as we go along.
First you need to download Unity 3d. The good news is it is FREE (well the basic version is). The bad news - if like me, you are on a shockingly bad internet connection, is that it is 420Mb - it took me about 8 hours to download but I'm sure many of you with your new fanglesd mega-broadband can download this in a matter of minutes.
Download Version 3.1.0 here.....

Once you've done that come back and we'll get started. Don't forget I know nothing about Unity 3d so we can learn as we go! HOLY FCK!
