  Now it's getting Unreal |

My intuition was right. The free Unity engine release was just the beginning of a new trend in the world of game engines as Epic has now released the equivalent of Unreal Engine 3 without the source code.
The world is changin', and I'm sure this trend will continue. I can even see some sort of engine-product revenue sharing model pop up with these free versions (think royalty-based sharing with products built using a free engine). My only question at this point is, "Who's next?"

| Very Cool - Unity | |

Now this is cool stuff: the Unity engine is now free.
Granted, it's the equivalent of the Indie version, but they were offering that version of the engine for $199 USD. That's $199 I no longer have to worry about spending if I want to use the basic engine to prototype ideas (and maybe sell them).
My intuition is telling me this is a huge deal, not just for Unity but for the industry as a whole, particularly for the hobbyist, scientific, and independent developer.

| Alive | |

It's been a while, but I'm alive. I needed to take a break from software things. I got a little burned out as I wasn't balancing out life enough.
On the positive side I think I've picked up a new addiction hobby that may or may not turn into something one day: golf. I've realized I need a competitive outlet of some kind, and golf is one of those sports that I can compete against myself as much as I can other people. It's a bonus that I'm turning out to be pretty decent at the game too.
Anyway, that has nothing to do with software or this blog right now. Bottom line is I'm alive and starting to get software itches again, so this blog should come back to life as well.
