Unity is a multiplatform game development tool, designed from the start to ease creation. A fully integrated professional application that just happens to contain the most powerful engine this side of a million dollars.

Unity 2.1
Unity has evolved to be the perfect MMO and virtual world client, both in the browser and stand-alone. Stream in limitless landscapes as your users travel your universe, customize characters, and load infinite locations and virtual items on demand. When Funcom, makers of Anarchy Online and Age of Conan, decide to use Unity for their upcoming browser based MMO project, you know it has to be good.

Unity can be purchased by indie developers only for 149 euro!!

The only downside (as far as i know) it’s that you can publish on many platform, pc, wii, iphone BUT you can develop only on the Macintosh platform. BUT as you can see from a guy comment down here, the PC version will (should) be available very soon.

Do you like fast paced deathmatch? How about rich, colorful, arcadelike atmospheres? How about…retro Sci Fi? Then you’re going to love what Alien Arena 2008 has in store for you! This game combines some of the very best aspects of such games as Quake III and Unreal Tournament and wraps them up with a retro alien theme, while adding tons of original ideas to make the game quite unique.

Alien Arena is a fast paced, furious frag fest with arenas ranging from the small, to the massive. With a large built-in player base, it’s never hard to find a good match going on, at any hour of the day. The community is friendly, as well as prolific. Dozens of maps, models, and various accessories have been created by community members to add on to the game experience.

The official MacOS port has been delayed. However, apparently someone has indeed ported
Alien Arena to the Mac, and released a patch (which requires the linux version).

The C4 Engine is one of the most technologically advanced 3D game engines available today for the Windows and MacOS X platforms. Its architecture is the product of many years of careful and clean design led by computer graphics author Eric Lengyel, making it one of the easiest and trouble-free engines to program.

The C4 Engine contains a comprehensive suite of robustly implemented game programming tools. Not only is it a powerhouse of a graphics engine, but it also includes integrated support for sound, music, networking, input devices, resource management, and much more. See the features page for details, or head over to the download page to see the demo in action.

The engine is reasonably priced for independent developers at $50 (US) per programmer, and the source code for the engine, demo game, and all tools are included with the license. Educational site licenses are also available to institutions who wish to use C4 as a teaching tool. (See the Licensing page.)

C4 continues to evolve at a fast pace, with new releases being made approximately once per month. All licensees get free updates to the entire engine forever. There are no renewal fees, subscriptions, or additional fees for add-on packs.

Rigs of Rods (also known as RoR), is a truck, car, airplane and boat simulator. You can drive, fly or sail in total freedom in an open environment. What makes RoR different to most simulators is its unique soft-body physics: vehicles chassis and wheels are simulated in real-time as flexible objects, giving the simulation an extremely accurate behavior, while allowing the vehicles to be simply specified by their structural composition, as a network of interconnected nodes (forming the chassis and the wheels). Crashing into walls or terrain can permanently deform a vehicle in a realistic manner. In addition to its unique soft-body physics, RoR also features an advanced flight model based on blade element theory, allowing the accurate simulation of any airplane, base on their physical dimensions and wing airfoils. It also features an accurate buoyancy model based on elemental pressure gradients, enabling boats with complex hulls to move realistically in the swell. Rigs of Rods is an amateur game developped by Pierre-Michel Ricordel, aka Pricorde, and is a one man hobby development, with a $ 0 budget, that has started more than two years ago and is still continuing.
