how about 2d frogs?

The assets links are not working

you missed one of the best Controllers in the Assetstore ever: "invector 3nd Person Controller". You show "Opsive" it s very expensive, and a lot of complicatet. invector is absolutly basic knowledge. for the visuals: with this big amount of offers, the video Part is to short.

Next: *ODIN INSPECTOR* a lot of ppl always say "oh yes this is cool" - it is not! Reason: odin Inspector change his Licence! This is a Pay for it, and pay after you work with it in an Abonnement tool! * I can absolutly recommence everyone to avoid this! * if you really have some success with your game, you will pay, and pay, and pay, and pay, and pay and [.......] pay to Odin Inspector! improve the Mind: there Github Solutions, are *FOR FREE* doing what Odin does! Also odin just use the basic functions of unity, and expand them! *ALL YOU NEED IS ALWAYS THERE* do not use this! do not support robbing Off Licences!

One Thing you missed to: Optimizing. Recommendet: MT Assets easy mesh Combiner. should be in every case here! also it s always good to have a look @ Optimisation. to the last: *WHAT I REALLY MISS* the absolute : *MUST HAVE FREE TOOLS* in the Assetstore. Place nr. 1: Quick Object Replacer. Lifesaver in every case. Nr. 2: Material Changer. Changes Materials in Secundes, schaders to. Nr. 3: Graphy, Analyze the Performance of your Game in Runtime. Have a lot of Options, is 100% must have. Nr. 4: Easy Fly Camera : always good to have a simple, premade script to fly around, no errors very helpful. Nr. 5: Living Birds - just watch it, it s impossible that this is for free... Nr.6 Navmesh Cleaner, you will love it. Nr. 7 Super charakter controller. For Free Char Controller with a Lot of Options and Things. the list is long, but this are some of the best Assets in the Store, all are for free. Every of them to miss, is absolutly painful. shortly: This video is okay, but misses a lot

@Ebola probably stuff like you have to credit them or you can't sell anything you make with it

What nasty stuff?

Yeah, tell us John...

​@@CodeMonkeyUnity well Odin for example switches payment models if your revenue is higher then 200k$ a year from the 50$ per seat perpetual licence to a 250$ per seat annual or 25$ per seat monthly subscription. This includes everyone in your team that works within unity, reguardless if they even interact with any tool build with Odin. This 200k$ revenue also includes funding or any profit your company made within the last 12 months. And while 200k$ is a lot of revenue, I don't like being forced into a subscription. I work for a small studio that is struggeling sometimes, still we are 10 people working part time in my team alone, this already means we would have to pay 2500$ a year for this tool once we recieved any bigger sum of funding or had a successful launch. There are some other tools that do stuff like this. Odin did update it's asset store page to now mention this, but it wasn't always there, so you had to dig to even find this information. I personally use Odin, because I got it through a bundle and didn't realize this until years later. I really didn't appreciate the unclear communication. That's why I tell people they should check out any licence agreement for bigger tools like Odin just to be sure, they know what they sign up for :)

@@JohnSheppard92WasTakenThxYT Out of curiosity how would Odin know you used their tool? Or that you released a game you used it on?

yoo, i was about to comment this too. awesome asset

so you the creator ? i do not have it (i do not work on 1st person) but i seen some Thigns made with. Looking really cool you did great :)

@@smokingheadstudiogerman5299 Yep, thanks for saying :D

Great job on the asset, it looks really awesome!

Thanks Jason!

Heh that's awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks!

rayfire is in sale, you should check that out. what is that interaction tool you mentioned ?

​@@androider1412 Yeah I know but Rayfire is still $130 lol. Interaction tool is "Interactor", if you're into animated interactions, that's your painkiller. You can check its vid kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8CVaKeSq8y4k6M.html

@@rojditbarak5167 wow that was cool, thanks. how does interactor knows what to do like in the video you put ?

@@androider1412 You have lots of settings on the components. Then you create prefab with it as preset. After that you can select that interaction while spawning, it adds the component with same settings on it. So yeah later interactions are pretty fast when you create the first one.

Oh Interactor looks really interesting, can't believe I've never seen it, thanks!

Same here, but one Hint: Do not buy to much. Most assets in every case: Enviroments, will need more Time to fix them, than to build it your own. A lot of assets will never be used by you, also if they looking cool - to complicatet - not compatible to other and others. just: really think about what you really need. it is really less, unity can do a lot to you ... without a lot of assets you thin kyou need. some you should have. Enviro for example, this is 100% must have.

@@smokingheadstudiogerman5299 true, I usually only get 3D objects (love synty studio) or visual tools like Skyboxes, water renderer and volumetric fog. Also I mostly buy bundles, if there is at least one item I know I'll need

Yup there is a Slice feature, I tested it in the review video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fspnrKWj0pjanpc.html

@@CodeMonkeyUnity again: one big fail: you missed one of the oldest, best charakter controllers in the Store: invector 3nd Person. *THIS IS ABSOLUTLY AMAZING* Very professionel done, 100% perfect supportet, and in a LOT of games out there used!

For those, the starter assets are only base controllers, no shooting, although I did take that and added shooting here unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=FbM4CkqtOuA

I'm not too familiar with XR development so I don't know what makes a good helpful asset, there's a bunch of them but I don't know what are the pros and cons compared to the standard built-in XR toolset

Yeah this is meant to be a quick highlight of some interesting assets, not a full review of 30 assets, that would be a 20 hour video. It is indeed just me telling you what you can find on the asset store, the benefit is you don't have to go browse the asset store for several hours like I did in making this video. You can just watch a quick video and if anything looks interesting go dive deeper into that asset.

I haven't used it myself but yup that's one of the highest rated ones that always shows up so it should be great

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I see, thanks!

It depends on what assets you're talking about. Visual stuff? Use it whenever you want to make your game look good, could be right form the start Systems? Use them whenever there is something that you need to build but don't want to build it all yourself

OS API.

You mean you want the game to move the players mouse? I'm not sure the input system lets you do that, for that you need to interact directly with the OS kind of like I did it in the transparent window video unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=RqgsGaMPZTw However that would not be easily multi-platform, you need to manually handle that yourself

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I’m actually really impressed with this tutorial, I didn't know transparent apps could be made with Unity, perfectly explained! Thank you! But moving players mouse I think it's now possible with the new input system, I tested this method InputState.Change() and it works like a charm! I heard it supports cross-platform but I'm not sure if it's true, I hope you will make tutorials about it in the future.

You can use my health system unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=tf8NhUgORQg Combine it with some collisions unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=Bc9lmHjqLZc

Always remember that everyone has they own journey, there's no point in comparing yourself right now with someone else who is on a completely different point in their journey. I've been programming for 25 years and using Unity for 10, with all that experience things do become much easier over time but if you have nowhere near that level of experience then don't feel bad about yourself. Just like I go to the gym but I don't feel bad because I'm so much weaker than someone who has been lifting for a decade. So keep at it, keep writing code and making games, you will continuously get better and better!

Try to use his experience as an inspiration and motivation to learn C#. For example, I really didn't like to write code in my first month learning UNITY, but then CodeMonkey (and others more) showed up on the KZfaq and make C# coding more interesting to learn.

You mean the elevator? That is essentially just additive scene loading, it's actually a topic I haven't covered yet, it lets you load scenes without completely replacing the current scene.

I love easy save too. It’s so convenient.

Unity has a localization package, although I haven't tried it myself docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@1.3/manual/index.html The store also has a bunch of tools but again I haven't used any of these assetstore.unity.com/?q=localization&orderBy=1 For my Steam games I just used an extremely barebones system that I built myself, just grabbed a line from a text file and used enums to get the text.

@@CodeMonkeyUnity thanks man, appreciated

Yes using assets is ok, all that matters is that you make an interesting game unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=cQGgexTTyIc If the controller perfectly fits your needs, great, if it doesn't add whatever else you need on top, no need to write everything from scratch (unless you want to)

@@CodeMonkeyUnity thanks, i guess you right. To me assets are totally ok to use, but it is the things like RPG maker that make me think.... just since it is so easy and pre-made it seems to me (i actually have never used RPG maker myself)... Thanks for clearing this up though!

One way is you can use static fields to share data between scenes, or maybe even use some kind of internal save system unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=6uMFEM-napE

@@CodeMonkeyUnity save system done thanks you're the best ❤️

Sucks that it was cancelled, I covered my thoughts here unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=HobK9kug-Lo

Waiting for it to come out of preview, it's been in 1.0.0-pre for a long time so it should be soon

@@CodeMonkeyUnity yeah

Kind of silly to count up the total, like I mentioned in the video "not all of these are applicable to every single game" You're not going to pick up the RPG Builder if you're making a RTS game. You're not going to pick up a 3D Animation pack if you're making a 2D game. You're not going to pick up the Car Controller if your game has no vehicles. I don't have psychic powers to be able to tell specifically what game you're making an tailor the video specifically to you and every single unique viewer. Here's a list of helpful assets, if they seem helpful for the project you're currently working on then research them some more and if they seem helpful pick them up, that's it.

I hope they won't include Gaia as Terrain Composer 2 is a lot better. But I have an extensive library of terrain stamps to use in TC2 that i converted from 3D models 😀

@@CodeMonkeyUnity Myaby that's why I wrote: "of course, you don't need them all". But the truth is truth, if you want to make a solid game with Unity you have to spend a lot of money on the asset that for example UE is giving you out of the box like terrain tool. Unity said the same so they canceled their own project and fired people, like a simple proof that this is too time-consuming and expensive - their own words. And they fired people. But hey... we will have malware and lootboxes all over the place in every Unity project xD It's not your fault, it's the company behind you and CEO from hell (mean the EA).

I've made several successful Steam games, the only asset that I absolutely had to buy was A* Pathfinding since Unity's built in NavMesh does not support 2D. Spending $100 once to earn 6 figures with several games seems like an excellent deal to me. So no you don't have to spend a lot (or any) money on assets to make games. Sounds like you need to watch my video on those topics unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=HobK9kug-Lo Summary: There's no malware, John left EA for Unity in 2014 not recently, in their own words Gigaya was canceled because "we feel we have already learned everything we could from this project"

Gonna be honest, I feel like this is an extremly uneducated take on this. You don't need any of these or other tools to successfully make games with Unity, that's the whole point. You can pick them up if you wish the functionality they provide to speed up your development process. If they wouldn't do that, you shouldn't buy them. If you feel like making the functionality yourself, then go for it. It is true, that Unity is a bit more barebones than UE but that's also a strengh because it means that the engine is much more compact. In the end it is your decision which engine to use and which tools within that engine to buy, you can absolutly spend big money in both asset stores, but you are never forced to do that. I would however ask you to not spread the uninformed half-truth about the Gigaya project, the Unity CEO and the merger with IronSouce. Please get educated on these topics before trying to stuff them into arguments to make your point seem more valid. Code Monkey has a great video on these topics and I'd highly encourage you to watch it and form your own conclusions once you have a more complete picture of the situation. Otherwise sometimes silence is golden :)

Waiting for it to come out of preview, it's been in 1.0.0-pre for a long time so it should be soon

@@CodeMonkeyUnity but it doesn't show that it's in preview

You can watch my full review to see all the things it does, it's so much more than just screenshake unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=Kx2Pi8yAitw

You can manually write a bunch of debug inputs, if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.T)) RunTestingFunction(); Quantum Console simply makes that insanely easy, just add an attribute and that function/field is automatically added to the list so you can trigger it by using the console, no need for complex input

@@CodeMonkeyUnity Ah ok. Thanks for the clearification. That means Quantum Console cannot access spontaneously ANY function but only the ones which are tagged by a quantum property. But still, I see that this makes life much easier. Nevertheless is there a way to do ANY code injection during runtime (loops, variable value setting, function calls...) ? I mean without any preparation before starting game mode?

Not sure, if that helps you, but you can easily tag any function as "[ContextMenu("Your Function Name")]"... Then you can trigger it inside Inspector's 3-dot menu of the component.

You can look into C# Reflection, but I'm not aware of any tool that does that for you

That is highly dependent on exactly what you mean when you say "team mate", the basics for AI are all similar, then it just depends on how much you want to add on top of it unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=db0KWYaWfeM unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=sb9jnpN9Chc

Make sure you put them to good use!

How so? What are your issues with Unity UI? There's also some other UI tools on the store but I never had any issues or limitations with Unity UI There's also the new UI Toolkit which looks interesting

What I want are easy to use sortable tables, tabs, flyout menu, drag and drop, and responsiveness. I've not been able to find any recommended UI systems that supports all. I tried using the UIToolkit, it's not responsive, doesn't support the table system I want, can't even do a basic table without hacks, drag and drop is also not supported. Tabs too are a big issue. My game is a simulation game that deals mostly with data, lots of it. In fact, sending data back and forth is the main part of the gameplay. I'm not that experienced in Unity development in general, but I do know c# and web development.

Doing everything yourself is an excellent way to learn, If you're still in the beginner stage I would recommend you take that approach so you learn as much as possible. Then once you're past that stage and your goal is primarily to make a game instead of learning then assets can be insanely useful

maybe. But one Thing you will never get for free: "your Time". unity: Create a material 1 Secund Unreal: 10 - 20 minutes depents on the Material. unity: Create Terrain Layer 1 click unreal ... creating Material, searching for bugs, add layer complicatet to every terrain. unity: want to use Animations with your Charakter ? Humanoid - put it in, that s it. Unreal: retarget hunderts of animations in hours of time. unity: want to have transitions between Animations ? Just draw a line. unreal: Need hours and tons of Time, to build complicatet Animation Montages. unity. as a Beginner, bring a cube to work. Open youtube, choose one of 10 000 Start Toturials, 2 Minutes, 1 C# Script, it walks. Unreal: first: learn hours of "Blue Print Sh..t" Or: do destroy your complete life, by trying to get C++ to run. *IF YOU CAN BRING IT TO RUN* write your script, and see nothing happens. After you create your Controller, search hours for a Solution, to get a Rid of the Unreal Controller what Unreal creates himself without to be asked, in every new Scene. Unity: import a Model: Drag and Drop inside the Project, finish. unreal: awnser 10 000 who wiwll get Millionere Questsions for every Model. unity, import a lod group Model: Drag and drop unreal : importet the Model 3 Times, kill all Materials (just for Fun) , split your Lod Group into 3 different Lods, in singel stand alone MOdels. After this: you need to place them, to place Emptys, to do a Lod group of, to get rid of the Corvax Collider what is made. Unity: invest 1 - 2 Weeks, be a passable Coder. Unreal: invest years, you never will know what to search for in f...ing "Blue Prints". Also you will get annoyed with forced to use Blue prints for every small thing, because nobody want to write Code in Unreal. Unity: know what assets arer for free, and what assets good. unreal more expensive then. Unity: Update your Model ? just overwrite it. Works in runtime to. unreal: - stop your game, delete your model, import it from Scratch again, repalace it... Runtime ? not supportet. Realtime Changes ? not suportet Reimport ? just over Asset Importer..................... Yeah: You wil lhave some Things for free. *ALL OTHER; COST 10 up to 40 $ MORE in UNREAL* and one thing, nobody can ever pay you *THE TIME YOU NEED FOR THE MOST SIMPLE THINGS IN UNREAL* this is truly: the research of Slowlyness. Unity: you get a C# Problem ? Ask the Community. 90% of PPL can help you. More than 60 % are good coders. More than 20 % are professionals. Unreal: "What ? hm ? I never heared of C++ what is this ?" Unity: Learn C# , you can do a lot, also desktop Applications and other Thigns. unreal: Learn Blue Print, do not learn coding, do not get over "Los" in Monopoly, dont get money. if you close Unreal, and have - no - Blueprint left you lost.

I'm quite honored if people see me in the same way, I wonder what he's up to nowadays...

@@CodeMonkeyUnity well you totally deserve it, without yours and Brackeys' tutorials I would have been completely lost. I owe pretty much all my programming skills to you, keep up the great work :)

Code Monkey is infinitely better that Brackeys ever was imo. Brackeys was ok for beginners, Code Monkey is better for beginners and has value for advanced/intermediate users as well. Nuff Said Code Monkey > brackeys

What do you mean by "cool contents"?

There's timestamps in the video if you want to skip ahead and see all the topics

If you are looking for the absolute cheapest price possible then you can just watch my free tutorial and build it yourself unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=8Fm37H1Mwxw Assets are always a trade-off of time and money, you can build everything yourself but is that the best use of your time?

There's also tons and tons of free stuff on the store!

Heh yeah I only mention it where it makes sense which means usually just in my asset lists videos so if you skip those then yeah you might never hear about it. I'll definitely be using it in my next Steam game whenever I start working on that so I'll definitely mention it in some devlog videos. I hope you like it!

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I'll pick it up at some point for sure! Custom cursors has been asked for in my most popular game many times and this would be a easy solution. I'm way too lazy to make complicated systems from scratch! 🤣 Also shill it more bro! Just tag it on at the end no matter what! Not all of us have time to binge all your content some of us have actual games to make hahaha 😜

Heh yeah when I started writing the video I was aiming for 20 but I kept finding more and more awesome assets and ended up with 30, so in the voice over I sometimes still said 20

@@CodeMonkeyUnity it's fine

That depends on your skillset. I suck at art so for me it's very much the opposite, I use the asset store to buy tons of visuals but I build pretty much all the systems/code myself
