It’s worth noting that the Unity 3D run-time, the bit that allows games made with the editor to run, launched on Linux back in 2012 (initially as a preview). The decision of whether the preview passes beyond this technical preview and into something the company can ‘sustain as an official port alongside Mac and Windows editors’ depends on several factors: how well the Linux community receive the preview, the number and scale of issues they unearth while using it, and, ultimately, how big the support burden to maintain it is. Unity Technologies offer the editor free though software purists should note that it is not open source. Unity is described as a ‘flexible and powerful development platform for creating multi-platform games’. It also lacks a few of the bells and whistles that its Windows and Mac kin are famed for, including support for importing models from third-party apps.īut every journey has to start somewhere. Unity, the well known engine powering some of the world’s most popular games, has launched an experimental version of its games editor on Linux.Īlthough anticipated for some time, the Unity for Linux is strictly a tech preview.
