For example, box2d games and the huge physics advantage of flash, silverlight will never beat it :P so I'm calm for flash future ;)Can you show some of your games?Thanks. “Jeff Weber said:

Can you show some of your games?

Thanks.

You'd need to roll your own sprite frame controller if you wanted to go for image animation instead of 2.5d, but the benefits you'd get over Flash from it being on the GPU would be very worthwhile.Most Flash devs that get going with Unity are really excited by the performance difference.

If you are coming to Unite - see us at the Tipsy Pig for our party on Wednesday the 28th - email and I will get you the details Eric – we can and do but we really want our developers to embrace the microtransaction model to maximize the long term revenue of the game.

On another note, thank God your blog text color is now unPinked. :P@Glen - very interesting. are you gonna sell downloadable unity games? subscription?@Chris - i dont see the upload tools for unity and explicit instructions saying so. it would behoove you guys to point that fact in the home page (logged out) and in the upload screen. I would guess more unity / shockwave developers trying then. Shockwave.com is not a unity3d focused site as i recall but maybe i shouldve not discarded them in the list. :) will re-add them. @porter well, unity3d is really good for 3d games and NOT good for 2d games. so that boils it down to 2d vs 3d.

The concept is actually the opposite. It is about delivering the content to the people and not having the dual challenge of attracting people to a portal and then the game. We skip a step.
