This authoring tool is free and quite popular, and is behind many indie games like Ori and the Blind Forest , superhot , Kerbal Space Program and Monument Valley .

With the platform launch, games like these could easily be made available and sold by Facebook by its developers.

the tool tests began today.

currently, 650 million people play a game through the Facebook , according to the own social network. This is because the Unity can also be used to create games and

experiences of this kind. In 2015, for example, paid $ 2.5 billion. All games should work on PCs with Windows, Linux and MacOS. Traditionally, a share of 30% is with the platform, according to the website.
