Has anyone tried Unity? If so, were you successful? LA

It's easy it just takes a lot of time. I'd rather just make games on buzztouch though

I agree with Chris. Easy but time consuming.

I used it once, a lot of work and support. Wish I'd never started Angry Birds now, total time suck.

I took a look at Unity, and I liked some of the editors, although it was quite in depth. Instead I moved to Corona SDK which I'm still using more than BT now. BT is great at content changing on the fly. Corona is better at taking over the hardware, sprites, etc. I could handle LUA too which made life easier.

I hadn't put too much thought into that - not sure how I'd integrate them. I know I can use some JSON entries, but isn't something I've dug into. I'd be curious what/how you integrated the two.

I agree with everything with buzztouch and would never go without it! I just thought with gaming, it had a pretty forward interface, drag and drop features, and among other things. LA

@FingersCrossed, from what I remember, I think you just add the game as a library to the app. @LA, its not as simple as drag and drop . Thats the part that takes the most time to learn. People that learn graphic design and animation probably understand it better than anyone else.
