The [Unity](http://unity3d.com "Unity 3d") cross-platform development tool version 4 has been released from beta into the growing world of Ubuntu game development. Every Unity developer is now only a few clicks away from publishing in the Ubuntu Software Center with Unity 4.0’s new Linux Deployment Preview. You can download a 30-day preview of all the Pro features, Linux export will always be in the free version.

[Cubemen](https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/cubemen/) and [Rochard](https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/rochard/) are two examples of games built using the Unity game engine and available today through the Ubuntu Software Center. Millions of Unity developers now have the ability to easily deploy games to the most exciting open platform, Ubuntu.

If you just upgraded to Unity 4.0 or are starting out, load up your game, open the Build Settings, and choose the target “Linux” under PC, Mac, Linux Standalone. Then visit the [Ubuntu MyApps developer portal](https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com "MyApps Ubuntu Developer Portal"), create your new account, and upload.

You say you are not using Unity 4.0 to build your applications? Geez…go get your [free download](https://store.unity3d.com/ "Unity Store") today and get coding!
