I'm a specialist in the Unity 3D games engine, and I've been using it day in and day out for around 6 years. The first version I used was Unity 2.5.
Keep an eye out for the retro-modern cyborg flying sim, CyGLiDE, coming soon, a game about exploring endless islands amongst a battle for resources between warring AI's!
