[casual_games] Unity 3D

[Grant Shonkwiler]

We use it here at Megatouch Games. We love it, the biggest problem we are
having is with the source control (Asset Server) it doesn't really want to
play well with more than one or two people working on a game. Also there is
no scene merge, hopefully they will fix this soon because it is crippling if
you are trying to make a project with a big team.

Let me know if anyone has found a work around for this, we just all have our
own sandboxes in each project and hand merge stuff.
