Unity Technologies has announced that their Unity technology platform has advanced to version 3.5. Said to be one of the largest updates ever for Unity, it includes a new particle system, AI improvements, better lighting and improved developmental control.

“This is one of the most spectacular additions we’ve ever made to Unity,” said David Helgason, CEO, Unity Technologies. “Recognizing that Unity was being pushed harder and harder, we launched our initiative to upgrade Unity with high-end capabilities that larger studios are accustomed to and smaller studios usually don’t have access to. We want to make Unity the best choice for everyone and Unity 3.5 is a massive demonstration of our commitment to that goal.”

“We are incredibly proud of this release and I think it’s our strongest yet,” said Nicholas Francis, chief creative officer, Unity Technologies. “A year ago, we took a deep dive and began working on developing features for more complex projects and larger teams. It took hard work to do this while preserving the intuitive and usable design that makes Unity so popular, but we are sure that developers using Unity will be as happy with the improvements as we are.”
