  Yes, Unity3D is basically state of the art, but not for 3D game development, 
but rather for 3D game prototyping :) Yes, 2D is the main target for Gluon 
(it's likely going to be possible to do 3D because of how the KGL component is 
built, but the focus will be 2D), however for Gluon Creator this has little 
influence - for that, the workflow will be mostly the same for either :)
