2D Alpha Release 4

Unity Engine
,
41

What happened to all the 2D features? They seem pushed to “uncertain” release date. Any word why? I don’t expect an in-depth explanation but just some feedback. After all some of these features where announced for 5.3, 5.4…

42

This is to force personnal edition users to buy a Pro edition :stuck_out_tongue:

43

I hope not, but the fact that there’s a video with a really advance version of the 2D features and now it’s pushed to “uncertain” is suspicious.

44

This is called magic marketing.

45

Are there any purchasable equivalents to these features on the Asset store? I want to get to prototyping and the current 2d builds are atrociously out of date.

46

Just watched the video at the top and its a real shame they’ve been pushed back. Some really useful things in there that I’d love to get my hands on.

47

Indeed, Its a shame, got a couple of 2D projects waiting for this :C

will this 2D alpha become available for all (instead of pro only), since beta’s are open now…?

50

Can someone recommend an asset that could provide similar tilemap feature?

51

I don’t want to take to much beef with this, but actually I was one of the users that upgraded to pro to access the 2D beta. Then it is pushed to uncertain. And the new beta’s are offered to non-pro users.

But hey, I can run Unity in dark UI

Hi! Thank for this video! It is really awesome. As far as I understand this company will release the new project next year or I read the false sources? Can anybody explain me? I’m a little bit confused

For realtime info of what the team is working on you can check:

to see the roadmap of whats planned:

Some of the things that are shown in the video are already packed with unity.
Other stuff such as the smartsprite is beeing reworked and its release date is unknown.

59

Did the SmartSprite get another name or something? It’s not listed in the roadmap anymore.

A preview version of SpriteShape, (aka SmartSprite) is available now. More info here :
