Hi,

Is Unity3D a suitable platform for 2D games as well?

Regards,
Kun

Yes. Look at Rasta Monkey, Tumbledrop and Zombieville as examples. Do note that the workflow is as optimized for 2D as it is for 3D, but it’s all quite possible.

Not to mention XVaders

Take a look at my entry for the uDevGames08 contest here.

Not only is it completely 2D, but the entire project file along with scripts and resources is available for download (look for the “Source Code: Download” on the page linked to above.)

NOTE: The project builds on Windows and MacOS, but on Windows you will get warnings related to my DLLImport usage. Just comment out all lines related to DLLImport (about a dozen) and everything will build/ run fine.

Thanks all, I am now more excited than ever about Unity3D
