Unity的内容总监Nicholas Francis表示，他相信这个完整版本的Unity Android有助于开发者显著提高Android平台游戏的质量。据游戏邦了解，该平台目前推出了一个试用版和加强版，目前已在使用Unity工具的开发者可以获得优惠，仅需付费400美元即可使用加强版，但如果是新用户，则需付费1500美元才能使用加强版。

Unity还曾于去年推出了一个仅限新用户的预发布版Unity Android，据称该版本已经获得了“巨大的成功”。

游戏邦获悉，目前已有50多款Android手机游戏采用了Unity Android平台提供的服务，这些游戏包括《Battle Bears》、《Castle Warriors》、《Doodle Bowling》《Drift Mania Championship》和《Samurai II: Vengeance》等。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

GDC 2011: Unity Android unleashed, promises developers easy ports from iPhone

Proclaiming Google’s OS as the developer’s new platform of choice, development tool specialist Unity has released its latest venture into the wild: Unity Android.

The platform, which was first unveiled at last year’s GDC, is designed to enable hassle free iOS to Android ports, thanks to Unity’s single authoring environment.

Pre-release progress

“It’s awesome to be doing the full launch of our Android support,” said CCO Nicholas Francis.

“Now we’re doing the full launch of our product and I can’t wait to see what kind of amazing things people will develop. I think getting Unity out to the Android developer base will vastly improve the range of quality games on the platform.”

Now available in both trial and pro forms – the latter coming in at $400 for existing Unity free studios, or $1,500 for Unity Pro members – Unity previously rolled out a pro-only pre-release version of Unity Android in 2010, which it claims has already been a “huge success”.

In its limited time on the market, more than 50 games on Android have utilised the platform – including Battle Bears, Castle Warriors, Doodle Bowling, Drift Mania Championship and Samurai II: Vengeance.（source:pocketgamer）
