New Unity resources

Last week Unity Technologies announced Unity 2.0.2, which has a few new features and a bunch of fixes. More importantly, though, they posted a new resources section on their site, which I hope will eventually be home to tons of great materials to get people started with Unity.

Right off the bat, this little area contains a wonderful package of pre-made nature assets, from trees to rocks, grass, and textures. According to the license agreement (as far as I understand it), these assets are free to use in commercial projects without giving credit to Unity Technologies as long as they are used only in games created with Unity. I can handle that.

I continue to be blown away by Unity. Someone on the Unity support forums has said that Unity is so fun to use, it's almost a game in itself. Every time I open it up, I have new ideas for features to add to my games or gameplay mechanics to try out. More than that, I rarely get frustrated when working in Unity. That's not something I can say about many pieces of software. It's all a testament to the brilliant design of this product, with it's straightforward interface and powerful features. Great stuff.

Ok, my fanboy post is over now.
