hello there
im very satisfied with unity in anything regarding 3d, but im looking for some recommendation for some 2d gamedev solution for mac osx, as i have a couple of ideas where simple 2d is just fine…
im looking at torque game builder as a nice possible option, any of you have any opinion about it???
or any other good recommendation??
Well, you could just use Unity. It’s not that hard to make a 2d game, and you can even still use PhysX, 2d bone animation, and particles – something you’ll probably find lacking from a lot of other 2d engines available for Mac or otherwise.
Look it up on the Unify Wiki. There’s quite a few tuts around on how to do 2d with Unity.
I agree with you…Despite Unity being a great 3d development tool they really have neglected the 2d features and hopefully soon they will address these glareing issues…however after saying that you can still create great 2D titles with Unity the most famous of which was zombieville which reached number “1” on Apples App store a few months back.
so don’t close the door on unity yet without exploring what you can do with this great tool!
