Ong Bak Tri The Video Game Trailer Shows Off That Unity3D Engine With Some Flair

Posted by in Games, News

Ong Bak is a fine series of Thai martial arts movies that received plenty of critical and commercial success both in Thailand and around the world. Naturally, when a film about people kicking things and stuff getting punched makes it big, a game must be sure to follow. That game, Ong Bak Tri, is being built on the Unity3D engine for PC, consoles,  and Android. The newly released gameplay trailer looks pretty fantastic for a mobile game.

Of course, the trailer seems to be showing gameplay that involves quick time events requiring a user to press a colored button that looks like they correspond to an Xbox 360 controller, so it's a little unclear if we can expect the graphics to look as nice on mobile as they do in this trailer.

Ong-Bak Game May Be Headed For Android To Kick Serious Butt

Posted by in Apps/Games, Games, News

As any aficionado of fine martial arts movies knows, Ong-Bak is a pretty sick film. It has won praise for its snappy visuals and beautiful cinematography, which makes the news that it's becoming a game all the more exciting. According to developer Studio HIVE, Ong-Bak Tri is coming to PC and smartphones very soon. That more than likely means Android.

Ong-Bak Tri is going to be built on the Unity3D engine, which means it will have great lighting and animations. Because Unity is cross-platform, it should be easy to get the game on Android and iOS without reworking the whole thing.

Samsung Releases Unity Extension SDK For Galaxy Note S Pen Game Integration

Posted by in Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), Galaxy Note II, News

Device-specific hardware tends to get overlooked by the third-party development community, but the S Pen from Samsung's Note phones might be the exception. There are a lot of Note users out there and it has a stylus that's actually worth using. Samsung is now offering game developers a way to better utilize that feature with the Unity Extension SDK, which can be downloaded from Samsung's developer site.

In case you're not aware, Unity is a 3D game engine that's used by a number of popular titles. The new SDK will allow developers to accept input from the S Pen. The SDK provides devs with access to SCanvasView in their games.

[Deal Alert] Game Devs, Listen Up: Unity3D Basic Android And iOS Add-Ons Free Until April 8th (Normally $400)

Posted by in Deals, Games, News

If you developed a game using the Unity 3D engine and have been looking to port the title to Android or iOS, we have good news. The basic mobile add-ons for the Unity3D, normally $400 each, are now free until April 8th.

This will allow users of the Unity 3D engine to easily port their game to Android and/or iOS with little effort, as opposed to spending months writing all new code. Of course, since these are the basic versions of the add-ons, there are limitations that will require the Pro version of Unity (and the add-ons) to overcome, but if you've been considering trying your hand at porting a Unity game to Android or iOS, this is probably the best time to give it a shot before shelling out $1500 for the Pro versions.

MadFinger Games Puts Out Mind-Blowing Trailer For The Soon-To-Be-Released Shadowgun

Posted by in Games, News, Videos

Unity3D has paved the road for some seriously stunning mobile games, and as smartphones and tablets continue to become more powerful, 3D shooters and other graphics-intensive apps will finally begin to reach their full potential.

A perfect example of this is MadFinger's latest project: Shadowgun, which we last saw in May. The OTS (over-the-shoulder) shooter puts you in the shoes of John Slade, an assassin hired to surreptitiously sneak into Dr. Edgar Simon's heavily guarded mansion.

Of course, the game's graphics are the real center of the hubbub - they're just that good breathtaking:

The game will be launching in just 5 days (9/28)...
