Unity 1.2.1 Update Released--3D Game Development Tool

Unity 1.2.1 is a free update to the Unity 3D authoring package. This is primarily a compatibility and stability release that adds support for USB Overdrive mice, improves stability of games running on Windows, adds support for some old graphics cards, and fixes a few rare bugs. According to the publisher, one can build rich 3D games with animated characters, dazzling graphics and immersive physics, then deploy to Macintosh and Windows as standalone, as a Dashboard Widget or for the web. Use JavaScript, C# or Python to script complex interactivity without worrying about performance. Learn from good documentation and loads of examples and tutorials. Enjoy using the features through a crisp pro-application user interface.

"We’re committed to making Unity the ideal environment for authoring professional 3D games. A part of that commitment is making sure that Unity works on all the obscure hardware that’s out there. We work around the clock to fix any problems that our customers and our customers’ customers run into," said CEO David Helgason.

A total of 10 new features are documented here. Unity 1.2.1 is available today for trying and buying at unity3d.com. [Bill Fox]
