Circling birds high in the sky brought a bit more life into this game. It lacks animations, but I feel okay about it. Its charms are in other areas. Play Down the Mountain for free over on #itchio! christinacreatesgames.itch.io/down-the-mou... #MadeWithUnity #indiedev

Building a game set in ancient egypt? Maybe this pack is for you! (And please drop a link to your game, you have my instant attention :D!) Synty creates packs with tons and tons of assets that work really well together and I enjoyed working with them for gamejams before. [affiliate link]

After releasing the newest guide on the #Unity3D layout system (Layout Groups, Elements and Content Size Fitter), you can now purchase all six guides in a pack! That's 161 pages of material with hundreds of images, lots of scripts and project files! #gamedev itch: christinacreatesgames.itch.io

Hamsters are cute, too, I guess. Not as cute as guineapigs. But cute. And they hold seeds in their tiny paws, which really, guineapigs just don't. Point for hamsters. Play Down the Mountain for free over on #itchio! christinacreatesgames.itch.io/down-the-mou... #MadeWithUnity #indiedev

Synty is this week's Publisher of the Week over in the asset store, with many packs on sale for 50% off (and a bonus free asset). If you've been looking to get some of those, this might be a good moment =)! assetstore.unity.com/publisher-sa... [ffiliate link] #gamedev #unity3D

I enjoy recommending #Unity3D #gamedev assets that I've been using 👋 This one is another from my favourite VFX artist: SineVFX and is all about lights. Make sure to watch the video, the screenshot can't do it justice. The echo effect alone had me go "wow". [affiliate link]

I released a new tutorial! UI Masks in Unity - How to work with Rect, Mask, Soft and Inverted Masks. The last two will be created via Shadergraph in just a few clicks. Hope, you'll enjoy this one! #gamedev #unity3D

Odin Inspector in #Unity3D was among the first assets I purchased and I don't want to work without it anymre. Sure, I ignored it at first as well, thinking I'd need a dedicated project to find a use for it, but just adding [Button] to call a method in the inspector made #gamedev so much easier.

Before I started working with this #unity3D asset, I was super intimidated by it. Volumetric lights look awfully pretty, but I thought I wouldn't be able to recreate what I saw in their screenshots. I can attest: It is really easy to use and the results look great! [affiliate link]

Last week, I went to look at the new packs on the #Unity3D asset store and found the most delightful cat. Milo looks amazing and has plenty of options to customize. Absolutely give this one a look if you're looking for animals for your game! #gamedev

Building a UI? You need 9-sliced images for that. Those kinds of images don't just stretch, but can also just expand as needed without ugly effects going on. Learn more about it here: #gamedev #Unity3D

Worlds come truely alive once you clutter them with a whole lot of stuff - just making the world feel lived in. For exactly this scenario I really enjoy huge asset packs like the low poly ultimate one linked here. It works well with other low poly assets, too! [affiliate link] #gamedev

Are you located in the north-western part of Germany? Ideally in Grafschaft Bentheim, Emsland, Kreis Osnabrück or Münster? I started a #Unity3d User Group! First meetup is Oct. 24th and I would love to see and meet likeminded people 💛 #gamedev #indiedev

This #unity3D asset took me a while to warm up to and when I finally gave it a chance, I promptly set it up all wrong and frustrated myself to no end. But I've made smarter decisions since then and can say it became a good tool to rely on during #gamedev of my largest project. [affiliate link]

It's October and I have a feeling Unity seems to go with one sale a month at this point ^^ Their newest one is all about farming (well, for the most part). Assets listed are 50% off and I made a list with my favourite picks this time around [affiliate link]. #gamedev

Do you need a well-crafted ingame console for your #unity3d #gamedev project? For example to give access to cheats or methods from within the game? Quantum console is for you and it comes with a ready-made, prefabbed console you can drop into your game, too! [affiliate link]

After covering the Unity Layout system in my previous tutorial, this time, I'm focussing on a typical use case: Creating an auto-resizing text box. It also covers how to work with pivot locations to control in which direction to grow the box. Hope, you'll enjoy this! #gamedev

I got this when I was still very much in my 2D #gamedev phase and I have been thinking about building something cool with it ever since, especially since I'm not too terrified of 3D anymore. The pack is massive and staggeringly stuffed with great-looking assets. [affiliate link]

I made this overview video last summer, in wich I showcase some of my favourite assets from the #Unity3D store and how I used them to build a level from the ground up. It's got a bit of info on how I tackle level design, but also my workflows with about two hands full of great #gamedev assets.

I am thinking about creating an asset pack to make prototyping UI easier. It would contain elements like buttons, toggle buttons, toggles (checkboxes, radio,...), premade layouts, and more, with basic themeing support. Would you use something like that? What would you hope to find in it? #gamedev

Are you randomly clicking on Layout settings, hoping to magically find the setting you need? You are far from alone - and I know the feeling, I've been there :D To help, I released the complete guide to the Unity Layout system: Layout Groups, Layout Elements and Content Size Fitters. #gamedev

Post processing in #Unity3D is mighty, but am I the only one getting lost in how it's structured? Beautify works just like my brain and comes pre-packed with a bunch of great settings and options straight out of the box. I highly recommend this #gamedev asset 💛 [affiliate link]

I'll release my next #Unity3d tutorial tomorrow and I'm ultra nervous :D It's all about Layout Groups, Layout Elements and Content Size fitters and goes into detail on how to work with all those parts to create UI designs. It's very in-depth and I hope people will enjoy it #gamedev

My next #Unity3D tutorial is going to cover Layout Groups! What would you want to see in it and do you have any questions you need answered :)? Can already tell, it's going to be one of the longest videos on my channel based on the notes I have gathered :D #gamedev

I am much more of a designer than an artist and creating quick shapes for my UIs is really all I need most of the time. This procedual UI kit brings a new entry into the right click menu -> UI that packs a lot of customizability all about strokes, shapes, edges and more. Simple+useful. [aff. link]

My guides released today! Five guides packed to the brim with explanations, use cases, scripts and project files. I hope, these will make working with (and learning!) the #Unity3d UI system easier for you. They are available for sale on #itchio! If you have questions, please ask 💛 #gamedev #indiedev

Twice a year, I setup a new template project to use going forward. I tune settings, assets, create basic style sheets, color palettes and workflow-specific layouts (and more!). If you ever thought about creating your own template, I think you'll find something useful in the way I do it! #gamedev

This might be the last one to sort/organize/color code your #Unity3D editor window, but again: Highly recommend. It's a good extension of our toolbox! [affiliate link]

I really, really enjoy toolbuilding in #unity3D. Here's a video on how that works and the steps I go through to get a first prototype to a polished #gamedev project part - with the example of a levelbuilder! Maximus Jones might have not continued after this, but the tool is still one I'm proud of.
