[casual_games] Unity 3D

[Juan Gril]

I agree 100% with what Jeff and Grant are saying are the biggest hurdles
with Unity right now. Here at Joju we have one project in development, and
we are having a great time with it, despite those flaws. The devs in the
project are quite happy because of the fact that they don't have to work
with Flash :).

We may start a mobile game in a month, and if we do we'll use it too.

Cheers,

Juan
