But first things first…

Hello, Fan meme from VKontakte! Worked a bit with the community about the fact that the free license of Unity is tasty and good for health, great for studying the engine and suitable for commercial use. People reacted with a picture :)

Sign in

We thought, and I decided that the community should be people, users, and not the developers of the engine or PR. This is how a live person appeared, answering questions, sharing news and rumors from the company's kitchen - http://vk.com/unitytechnologies - if you're interested, welcome.

Oldschool-people who think VC is evil - join channel # Unity3d on ClosedCircles . You are waiting for the usual IRC interface and the ability to not see the messages of unwanted users.

Training courses and books about Unity

Scream School in Moscow! A huge and serious course on game development with a focus on Unity. On Friday , September 27, we present the course, tell and show. Register and come . Is free!

Real Time School in Moscow announced intensively on Unity . I really like the idea and format - I worked on the weekend and went enlightened :)

Unity School in Kaliningrad has already begun work, actively and seriously . I am inspired by the target audience of Kaliningradians: to create games - after all, it develops a child much faster than playing them!

There is still Unity in render.ru and a number of teachers and schools who have just started developing the course. Did I miss someone? So I do not know about you - write to oleg@unity3d.com, get buns and bonuses for your desire to teach Unity.

Together with DMK Press, we selected two books, one for beginners and one for rendering and shaders. Books have just appeared on foreign shelves, now we are translating, editing and publishing in Russia. It should turn out well and efficiently.

Localization

The contact list of our webmasters has already approved a contact form and a basic version of the site in Russian. The team responsible for the documentation is completing work on the framework for translation - we can soon begin to translate the Unity help.

Well, the person with whom you can discuss the cost of a license and other commercial issues is available for a long time - joana@unity3d.com.

See you in Moscow in a week!

On Saturday, September 28, another meeting in #GamesNight format will be held in the attic of the "Rambler", this time devoted to the use of Unity in developing game projects of various sizes.

A great opportunity to practice your English with the European leadership of Unity, to get acquainted with the author of this text (it is depicted in the picture), to see how Unity is used for mobile and browser games, middleware and interactive installations.

Do not fall this time? Then I'll see you at Apps4All in Moscow, at Casual Connect and DevGamm in Kiev, at the NextCastle Party in St. Petersburg ...

Unity 4.3

Could not leave you, friends, without answering the most popular questions. Unity 4.3 will be released soon. Yesterday came the third beta. In Unity 4.3 there will be no new GUI, but there will be a 2D framework (and it is beautiful!).
