Bottom line? Unity is an amazingly versatile piece of software whether you are building a prototype or a triple-A title. But it has a rather spotty history when it comes to new deployment platforms.

However, if Unity can deliver on their promises of WebGL, they will become the link between high-end game development and cross-platform HTML5 that edtech has been craving. Educational game developers will not need to commit to a single deployment platform, greatly reducing risk and expanding the potential market size. This could be a tremendous game changer and if the AngryBots demo is any indication, the future looks bright.

Kudos, Unity. I am officially back on board. Don’t break my heart.
