Following its mid-2014 announcement and a beta release last October, the latest edition of the Unity graphics engine by Unity Technoologies is now available for download.
The all-new Unity 5, released at the 2015 Game Developers Conference, features upgraded animation and physics, a new lighting system, new audio options and many other improvements designed to make mobile games more gorgeous and shiny than ever before.
On the Apple side of things, Unity 5 offers support for 64-bit computing and Metal, Apple's high-performance graphics framework aimed at game developers which can speed up graphics by a factor of ten compared to OpenGL.
