Unity Technologies has announced that is has over one million registered developers — a growth of 250,000 in just three months — with nearly 300,000 users active in the last month alone. Unity provides the Unity:3D engine, which is behind a number of games including Battlestar Galactica Online and Shadowgun. This boost in developer support is likely driven by the sheer number of platforms supported by the engine: as well as Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and the current generation of home consoles, Unity users can also create games for Chrome’s Native Development Kit and Flash.
