This is just awesome for anyone into indie game development (AKA this board's target demographic)

QUOTE (Gamasutra)

The Unity engine is becoming even more affordable to independent and hobbyist developers, as Unity Technologies has retired the $200 "Unity Indie" offering and replaced it with a free license, simply called Unity.

Developer Unity Technologies is keeping the full-fledged Unity Pro license priced at $1500. Alongside the new pricing shift, Unity is moving from version 2.5 to version 2.6, adding new graphics and pipeline capabilities. And Unity CEO David Helgason tells Gamasutra the company has Xbox 360 support in the works as well.

Features new to Unity 2.6 include full integration with Visual Studio and support for external revision control solutions like Subversion and Perforce. Both these inclusions Unity says are aimed at allowing the engine to better slot into existing large-scale developers' production pipelines.

Also new to 2.6 are graphics and performance capabilities like post-processing-compatible anti-aliasing, screen space ambient occlusion, and background fully-threaded asset streaming.

Basically the Unity engine, a very high tech game creation system which supports browser games, iPhone games, all kinds of ****, just went 100% FREE. It's pretty in depth so don't go downloading it expecting Gamemaker in 3D, it IS an industry quality tool, but still, it's FREE.

Seriously

FREEEE

Been playing around with it using my rather slim knowledge of JavaScript and I'm actually doing pretty well. It's amazing how simple it is to set up a working engine quickly.

If you've heard of FlashBang Studios' Blurst.com or played... well the majority of games on the iPhone, you've probably used Unity in one form or another.

Unity Indie was what they called the $200 version of their engine (pro version is $1500) and it was meant for smaller developers.

And now it's free.
