Unity Technologies has opened a beta program for Windows Phone 8 apps, and invites experienced developers to start testing.
Unity's cross-platform development tools can be used to create games for a multitude of different platforms, including smartphones, PCs and game consoles, simultaneously. The new beta program is "a chance to preview Unity 4 for the Windows Phone 8 platform and get a foothold in an all-new marketplace that is looking for great games," the company said in a blog post on Wednesday.
Unity underlines that support for Microsoft's smartphone OS has not yet reached maturity; it is still working on optimizing the performance, according to the blog post. There are also bugs and some features missing, it added, but it feels that experienced developers can take advantage of what it has to offer. They will, for example, be able to port existing games to Windows Phone 8 using the early builds.
The Wednesday announcement comes just three weeks after a similar program for Windows Store apps was announced. Together the two programs allow developers to create games for the entire Windows ecosystem, according to Unity.
