Unity 5 is finally here!!!

As a poor hobbyist, I about died when I saw the free version.

Thank you UT!!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Anyway, that’s what has me jazzed. You all?

As I saw, that now all features are included in free, I feel a little bit bad for the guys who pre ordered because of Unity 5. I wanted to go pro with Unity 5 cause of the missing features within Unity 4. I am super happy I did not. Because all I need is now in Unity 5 free.

If I did send 1500€ on pro now, I would be some kind of upset. But since I didn’t I say: Thank you Unity! I am so excited to try and have fun with Unity 5 now!

edit: Just read about the possible refund for effected people!

I leased the Pro version. It was on 4.5 or 6 when my lease started 3 or four months back. Can I get out of that monthly lease? Thanks!

Yerp, check our FAQ’s (http://unity3d.com/unity/faq)

It’s kind of genius how they handled the free/pro split.
You can create anything you could in Pro now in Free, but there’s still tons of value in getting Pro (also, no more separate Pro’s under 100k if I’m understanding correctly? That makes it even more awesome).

As a freelance contractor I am extremely pleased. However I haven’t been able to download the installer for 40 minutes now. The server may be getting hammered but I get sent to register when i have been registered for years…but only one out of four tries…I imagine it will settle down… I just hope I can:)

Hmm, ironic that the form that you can fill in to receive a refund is not found on the server…

Is the profiler included in the free version now?

Awesome!

Hopefully this will put an end to all of the posts whining about graphics quality I’ve seen in the 14 months I have been around here. That’s a great thing! Plus maybe if people don’t need to spend so much time making these great looking graphics they will start spending more time on the game itself! Should be an interesting year!

no doubt, the people crying for pro to be free have had their wish pretty much granted…

… and after some thought, I guess I’m not as disappointed with the pro sub/perpetual offering.

the team capability will be really helpful, and I’m very curious about this “Asset Store level 11” biz…

and finally Unity is Free, i am crying

How do we change where GI Cache is stored? We’re not in the world of the C drive anymore…

The fact that their servers are being CRUSHED right now is encouraging… Lots of excited people wanting to dig into PBS and GI, I’m sure.

The fact that I can’t reach the licensing server is keeping me honest at work and focused on what I SHOULD be doing instead. :sweat_smile:

Ya I feel your pain. I installed Unity 5 then selected Personal edition and hit Activate and still waiting for it to register. Oh well, shouldn’t be a surprise as I’m sure there server is just swamped with downloads and/or activations.,
