3D Game Kit Beta! Get it Here!
In February we released the 2D Game Kit on the Asset Store, we also had a beta version up on the store over the Christmas break to gather your feedback and issues so we could make it better. If you were a part of the OG 2D Game Kit Beta crowd, thank you for your help in making it awesome!
Today we have released the Beta for the 3D version of the Game Kit and we’d like your help in checking it out and tell us what anything whacky going on in the project.
Please note this project is intended for 2018.1b13 and above!
What do we need from you?
We’re planning on launching this in a few weeks and we’d like some more testers to see if gameplay is working and to catch any edge cases that might occur while building some levels.
Before playing:
Depending on your hardware you may need to change Unity’s Quality settings which will enable the example game’s performance to improve, to do this got to;
- Edit > Project Settings > Quality
The default is set to Fantastic to change this;
- Click on the word Fastest to change the project to the lowest quality
Try different settings for the best quality setting for you.

And some additional information if you’re new to this type of project 
What is a Gamekit?
A project designed in such a way so that gameplay, art and puzzles can be created without using code in Unity. This project is perfect to get more familiar with Unity whether you’re an artist, designer or even just starting your game development journey.
Within the Kit you will find a collection of gameplay elements, tools and systems that can be hooked up without code. We’ve also created a small game example using this system.
What is it for?
We’re trying to provide beginners and non-coders more agency in the Editor, while hopefully allowing them to get more familiar with how Unity works. If you have not checked out the 2D Game Kit you can download it here.
Thank you so much for trying it out and we’re excited to see what you do with it.
