A platform build target question.
Hey LDers,
I have a question relating to what I should target x86 or x86_64.
I am using unity and am planning to release my game on the following platforms:
Web player, WebGL, Windows, Mac and Linux.
My question is whether it really makes a difference whether i build for 32 or 64 bit. From what I understand 32 bit can run on both versions but 64 only works on 64. Am I correct in this assumption for all my listed platforms?
I will only have like a gb of data available for the jam so I am trying to decide what builds will cover the most ground.
Also does anyone have a suggestion for a small program I can use to create audio for my game as that is area where I have very little experience.
Thanks for listening

Some 64 bit Linux systems do not have the 32 compatibility libraries installed, so if you make a Linux 32bits version, maybe the player will need to install them.
