Oh oh oh!

This is just great news. We started using Unity to create games with my brother last year, and I can say it is really well thought, mature engine, with great import abilities and C# scripting.

The only downsides of Unity I have discovered so far:

• it uses Mono framework for C#. It works for 99% of cases, but the 1% of strange behavior can drive you nuts. I did a pathfinding unit in Visual Studio Express, and it behaved differentely under Unity/Mono (bug occured in cases you had too much references to single object)
• it is good mainly for games, because it forces you to think in specific way. For scientific visualizations and serious apps, I still prefer the ThinBASIC + TBGL combo
