Unity game development demo
Unity is a game engine for developers that is by no means free, but they’ve put together a short (and free) game to demonstrate its abilities. The game, avert fate, is a first-person shooter that puts you in an alien landscape with hostile androids and spaceships. It ends when you confront a gigantic robot that tries to zap you with electricity. I played in Easy mode just so I could have a quick look around. To make it more fun — and last more than a few minutes — you’ll want to crank of the difficulty setting.
Overall, I found the textures and shading to be gorgeous. It would have been nice, though, if the game would show damage to the enemies as you fire at them. After pouring endless rounds of ammo into the robot, it finally exploded — but in the meantime it happily blasted away as if hadn’t even been touched.
