[casual_games] Casual_Games Digest, Vol 70, Issue 6

[Trencsenyi Jozsef]

Hi Tom,

Nice to see you here too. :)
We have finished two 2D game with Unity using SpriteManager2 without any problem. If somebody want to make a 2D game with Unity 3.4 it's a good choice, imho.
But we are waiting for the new solution in Unity 3.5+ of course. ;)

>*I say loose in order to properly convey that none of the features we have

>outlined for the 3.5 release are not guaranteed until we actually ship. With

>that in mind, the features mentioned in that post were included because we

>do have a certain degree of confidence in them making the release.

>Dates/time frames aren&#39;t available just yet being as 3.4 just shipped.

>Sorry for the late reply in this thread, I thought it would be best to share
