A group of coursework Masters students is porting the AE2 game developed in 2010-11 with an National Archives of Australia Ian MacLean award to the Unity3D game engine. With Unity3D, building is possible for a wide range of platforms, including: iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8, BlackBerry 10, OSX, Windows, Windows Store, Linux, Desktop PC and Mac web browsers, and (with additional licences purchased) PS3, X-Box 360 and WiiU.
You can run the Unity3D code (work in progress) in a browser window at the following URL:

The student group is seeking feedback on its work, so please view and comment, if interested.
