Hi,
I’m making a game for IPAD, and im almost done with it. Now its time to get the IOS dev, but i don’t know if i should wait for Unity 4 and then get the IOS pack.
I’m making my game using the Free “indie” Unity 3.5 and thinking about getting IOS (400US).
Will Unity4 have a Free “indie” edition + the 400US IOS pack? Whats the difference about “indie” 3.5 and 4 for IOS dev (not pro)?
I dont want to miss some features or paying more to get a upgrade.
Srry my english.
Thanks!
What features do you need out of 4.0? If there is nothing in 4 you need then why worry about upgrading?
You should verify this with Unity sale, but if you bought IOS 3.5 now you will have free upgrade for the Unity ios 4.0.
i dont need any new features now. But i plan to make more than 1 game. I know there is Mecanin, Low-Level Rendering Access, Mesh Topology.
So, the 400us license for unity 3.5 ios works with unity4 for publishing with new features? Mecanin looks really useful
Yes, if you buy 3.5 now you get a free upgrade to 4.0.
ty, do you have a link?
i found this:
“Note that customers who purchase new 3.x add-ons, or upgrade their existing add-ons to 3.x after June 18 will not receive a free upgrade of those add-ons to 4.0.”
Unity will drop the support of new IOS version “one day” for the 3.5.
So it’s always important when you target an evolving platform.
Where did you see that quote?
Anyway, on the front of the store it says “When you pre-order Unity 4 you automatically receive Unity 3.5.”
http://unity3d.com/unity/4/faq
The sentence is out of context.
You actually preorder Unity 4.0 now, and you can use the 3.5 before the 4.0 is released.
But if you have Unity 3.5 pro (without upgrading to 4) and buy addon IOS 3 now for example, this addon won’t be upgrade…
You probably should upgrade your unity 3.5 pro to 4, and buy 4.0 addon.
i’m srry ,my english its not good.
so, if im indie (free version) its ok to buy now, right? It seems that the faq its only about Pro users and some posts comment about a +250us to upgrade for free indie.
gonna mail the sales, i hope they understand me, lol.
Contacting sales is just wasting your time… if you purchase the iOS license now you will receive 3.5 version and free upgrade to 4.0 version… it’s that simple.
I work at Unity so just pretend I’m someone in the sales department for a second 
Maybe I can make this clearer.
Unity 3.5 is no longer for sale. You can’t buy Unity 3.5.
You buy Unity 4.0 and get Unity 3.5 for free.
“When you pre-order Unity 4 you automatically receive Unity 3.5.”
Try buying Unity, in your shopping cart it will say Unity 4.0 not 3.5.
gotta, ty!!
Im so excited in finish my first 3d game, its such a big achievement to me. I started from scratch learning Unity, C# script, Maya, Texture, Animation, Joints. Took me 4 months…the problem was Maya, i still dont get it.
Yeap.
Unity 4.x $0.001$0.00
iOS 4.x$400.00
Done!
