#Unity forums standard assets sounds not working code#

(Full-disclosure: I'm an artist/animator/gamedesigner/toolsmith - but mostly an animator.) If I need particle FX I should be downloading the Particle FX Standard Assets Pack.Ĭlick to expand.I agree with the artist-centric focus & formats + template scripts that are well-developed. For example, if I need a camera rig or cool camera prototyping stuff I should be downloading a Camera Standards Assets Pack. I know I can manually un-checkbox each asset I don't want.but it's a time dump doing that. I can't speak for other developers, but I use the Standard Assets all of the time to strip out the stuff I need to prototype with. For example I don't want to import a bunch of vehicle assets if I want to strip out the Particle FX. One of my suggestions in the survey was to break out the Standard Assets into smaller packages that keep stuff in a single theme. Now that I think about it Angry Bots was another one that was massively popular and re-used by tons of developers to showcase their own products.Īs for Standard Assets, I don't see these sample games replacing that or even a need for that. For example two really good ones are:Įndless Runner - Sample Game !/content/87901 The templates that are broken out into their own packages are very robust and nearly fully featured. Include horribly terrible models with these systems, so devs aren't tempted to use the same default models as everyone elseĬlick to expand.I think I understand what he's saying. The key is to design them with customization in mind so everyone's game doesn't look like everyone else's. You do that and you'd see standard assets appearing in a good number of shipping games.

Allowing these to be extended with additional game specific mechanics, with commented code well enough for easy customization, would really raise the bar for standard assets. Turnkey extendible systems, where a game type is basically ready to go out of the box, and can be adjusted to fit the flavor of the game, would be really awesome. * RPG Inventory system with UI integrationĪs it is I find the standard assets to be useful when learning the engine, as it gives you something to play with and some example code to look at, but their usefulness in a shippable game is dubious.

I'd like to see complete extendible systems added to the standard assets, rather than just some helper scripts and starter models. Thanks for the ego boost as I had to select Advanced according to the descriptions I've always thought of myself as moderately skilled with Unity. TLDR: Templates are more important to make noise about for user quality of life as standard assets will never be battle tested, focused or usable enough. Templates are exciting, visible in what they can provide (much more useful than standard assets) and also encourage building or modding a project instead of being lost with a bit of ill-fitting lego. In short I recommend the immediate depreciation of standard assets and instead shift focus and effort on more Templates. When devs see standard assets they're like 'whuh, whut' and wonder why they need it or why isn't 'official'. When devs see tower defence template, they think about what they can rip from it or build from it.

Templates are pretty much 9 times out of 10 going to be more appealing, more useful and more obviously useful across a wider range of developers.

The standard assets are IMHO in a difficult place. You can't please everyone and you would probably need AAA experienced staff to get a car (for example) that is robust and fully featured so the standard assets should just be depreciated for the following reason: I think that Unity will always fall short of asset store or bespoke controllers / vehicles etc.
