Maybe 'Yak' should make Unity for new Sony PSP.. I am sure it would be hit..

Well, as the original Psychedelia code was used in part of Unity's VLM, then I guess some may end up in future projects.

who owns the code for unity? have lionhead given the rights to everything back to jeff? as i'm sure they must've been paying him and owned some part (or all) of it???

You know they have finnaly cracked the cube, you can play your own coding on it, I wonder if unity content could be distributed and played that way, in the past yak has distributed his own work why not now? even if it is just the VLM for download, or mail order..

Im the kind of guy who buys all the cables and boxes that let you do what you shouldnt, (dvd's on my sp)

who knows i just am having trouble comming to terms beliveing that my wave bird will never be free..

I found what i was looking for:
http://www.gcdev.com/

The boot-loader disk will be able to load and execute homebrew code (DOL files) from the memory card, extremely facilitating homebrew development for the GameCube and removing the need to use the PSO exploit.

I would guess that Jeff's just gonna sit on it, the whole project has been top secret so far so that nobody could beat him to the punch and rush out something similar. It's a bitch to have to wait but if there's any chance of taking Unity to the next generation he still needs to keep certain things under his hat, especially info about gameplay. Would really like to see a vid of how good VLM was getting towards the end with all the fractally stuff that's been mentioned, it can't hurt him to have that out there, can only open doors i reckon.

I do hope everything is backed up properly for future emulation on my xbox3

Wow, this blows. I just heard about it and can't believe it.
I've been putting off buying a GC until Unity was released, but I think
I'll snag one now for the Resident Evil addiction that's gone untreated.

Best of luck to you Jeff in whatever becomes of this (most sought after) project.

Well it looks like someone locked the main thread on this for some reason so I'll post my comments in here.

just came in after christmas looking for an update on Unity and get this news. absolutely gutted, even more so for Yak. very much doubt his project will get forgotten about though, too much interest in it for that surely? I hope not anyway.

I always thought the GC was an iffy platform tho, shame it wasn't built on a cross platform library.

Dont give up Jeff! Go it alone if you must its never stopped you before, and there must be an army of talent on here that would help you out should you need it.

Best of luck for the new year dude.

Same here,

Wondered what was happening with unity (I did think it was a bit too quiet)
Completely gutted...

But we can't let it die, even if it's just an idea that permeates through the good developers on this forum, UNITY MUST NOT DIE.

I'm sure the best platform for a game (or concept) like Unity is the PC
Even if Jeff doesn't continue development or use the code he has already, we can keep the momentum going...

On a slightly different note, anyone recommend a decent original arcade style blaster (in the same vein of GR++) all the ones I find are asteroids clones!

Good Luck Jeff, We're all counting on you...

Not sure exactly what you're after, but have a look at some of these:

This is horrible!
I only heard UNITYs cancellation recently...

Right now, i`m just so sad, dissapointed and depressed by this.

I basically purchased GameCube entirely for UNITY!

My most played game of all time is REZ and i REALLY want something similar, but all games that are available are rubbish mainstream shit, they are just awfull!

I don`t belive a second that Minters game was unable to get publisher, i mean did you even ask Nintendo?

Jeff, if i was you, i would just finish the damn game myself, and it would go out someday, somewhere...

Until then, i recommend people just wait, and stick whit REZ, TEMPEST, N20 or whatever....

Welcome mixa, to the fluffiest

forums

on the

net!

If you read Yak's press release, you'll see it was more a time thing rather than lack of publisher.

Still sad though, I agree.
