I have a list saved on the #Unity3D assetstore with all the assets I really, really recommend for basically every project. Most of these are auto-includes for every new project I set up and generally, they are focused on doing one thing super well. assetstore.unity.com/lists/highly... [aff. link]

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.

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.

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 =)!

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]

Another look at some scenery. I feared this to tank FPS, but yay for good optimization, it doesn't!

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

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
