    Enjoyed the show. WRT getting too technical, as long as you stop short of reading out code listings or detailed discussion of API signatures, I think technical discussion is fine.

    Best,

        You can also make desktop and online games with it. I think they’re trying to support iOS as well, but not quite there yet.

    @Gavin : if you can’t afford Unity it really show that it’s hard to make a decent living with video games.

    That’s one of the reason that I’m doing B2B enterprise software type ERP/Reporting to bring enough cash to support my future game development activity.

    I’m a family man with 3 boys,private schoiol mortagage, and I can’t take
    the risk to go full time with Casual games

    Unless I create a title that sales millions of copies ;-)
