∞ Monument Valley Expansion
At this time, the team was completely exhausted. For the past few weeks, we’d been working weekends and late into the night to get the expansion up to the standard of the original game. Every spare moment we had we were fixing bugs, polishing visuals, and streamlining the experience.
Hard work by the team. Go buy the expansion!

∞ Leading Unity into the Future
Unity’s new CEO is answering questions on the forum:
As for Unity, “democratizing” to me means putting the developer first.
As for democratizing… to me this is about recognizing that developing a great game is hard, and then even you pull it off, having your game discovered, installed is also hard… and earning a good living on all of this is very hard. David, Joachim and Nicholas recognized this early, and put Unity squarely in the camp of supporting developers in the journey to help them make the best games possible. I intend to ensure that remains true and also help developers find audiences for their games.
Read that thread if you are interested in John’s thoughts on Unity. My take: Unity is definitely expanding its services beyond the game engine, and it will become big.
