HeadRight Games has recently annouced they will use Unity3D as their primary development tool.

Executive Producer Matt Rodgers sites the ease of rapid prototyping and multi-platform support as the main reasons for choosing Unity.  “In choosing Unity, we are able to develop cross platform from the very beginning, which gives us the opportunity to release products simultaneously across multiple platforms, including PC and Mac, iOS and Androind, Facebook, and even consoles.  And with Unity’s recent announcement of Flash support in the near future, soon we will have an opportunity to target a large number of Flash-only online web portals as well”, says Matt.

As of May 1, 2011 we are pleased to announce the formation of HeadRight Games (HRG), an independent game developer based in Pittsburgh, PA.  Founded by casual game industry veteran Matt Rodgers, HeadRight Games’ vision is to “create high quality casual games for a global audience of all ages.”

Matt brings a wide array of skills and experience developed over 7 years in the game industry.  Matt’s held a variety of roles in the game industry including production, design, programming, software testing, and e-commerce development, and has worked for several major game publishers, including Microsoft, Nintendo, WildTangent, and most recently RealNetworks.
