Will be developing a 3D cube world puzzle game for iOS, have plenty of server side development experience, but this is my first foray into Unity, what are the tools I simply must have?

Thanks for your time.

Hi Markgize,

My go to app for IOS is NGUI (Next Gen UI) from Tasharen. The developer creates tons of updates and has a ton of helper scripts that makes it easy to create UI that runs fast on IOS.

Thanks for the link. Just bought ProBuilder and ProGrids. Considering Finger Gestures and maybe Cruncher, down the line, if I run into performance issues.

I use the NGUI for ALL GUI which is faster than the standard unity GUI.

I bought the prebuild/progrid package and haven’t had anytime to work with it. It looks good and I have a future project I plain to use it for.

I also bought the Cruncher (Very Happy) and it does a great job at compressing 3D models for IOS. It works better than 3D studio max or Maya compress.

I bought the finger gestures, but what I stumbled across a few days ago it the EasyTouch.
One Half the price, and it includes joystick, buttons and finger gestures in one package. I was able to incorporate EasyTouch into my package and change my code to work with it in under 1 hour. It works great and I have tested on iPad mini, iPhone 4s and it works great. EasyTouch is NGUI aware.

Thanks, will take a look at EasyTouch. Have been playing with ProBuilder and ProGrids for a week now and all is working well (ProGrids is a simple but very useful addition).
