Unity is not middleware as you put it. Unless I misunderstood you ;) However, if you are interested in iphone development then you should definitely talk to Tom H. at Unity Tech. or David Helgason. There is also an interesting thread about the question "Shiva vs. Unity" on the Unity forum:…
Wow, thats cool. I was tempted to buy a Mac a few months ago so that I could develop using Unity. I'm glad I decided to wait and hope for a PC version of Unity.
I'd also advise you or anybody else interested in iphone publishing to check this site and read/watch the information displayed there: http://unity3d.com/unity/features/iphone-publishing The video shows how fast and efficient you can develop with Unity (for sure one of the fastest pipelines).

Hey, thanks Thomas P.! I suppose that the technical definition of Unity might not be "middleware" per-say. It is more of a complete package than most middleware solutions, providing editors and tools as well as the game engine proper. I will definitely take a look at that Shiva vs. Unity board discussion. It should prove…
But wait I thought Unity was Mac only? Can I now develop on the PC with it? Basically this is what I'd love to do: 1. Use an engine to plop in a little world and character 2. Have them run around in game 3. Have it run on Iphone and PC is that possible with the Unity? I have a PC and would be developing on it. thanks! B
I´ve used unity for one year now, and i can say is a dream for small developers and a very easy to use tool for artists, I bought a mac only for unity and now i know i made a good decision cons: do not use maya on the mac to create next-gen assets it´s really slow
The title of the thread is "Unity 3D coming to PC" . . . You can target both platforms with the same game. It won't just run on both, it would require porting, but not complete rewriting.
Does anyone here use Shiva? It's produced by a company called StoneTrip. I ask because it seems to me that there are similarities between Shiva and Unity, and I wanted to know if anyone here had used both before? I also ask because Shiva recently got an upgrade that allows it to work on the iPhone as well. I'm very…
yeah it would be really good to see them open up development to a bigger market. My friend and I got into unity during university and were blown away by how quick and versatile it was (especially compared to macromedia/adobe director 3D which was the alternative for web). I would definitely like to see what pc users could…
