I bring you my first asset release! Totally free! I’ve been studying game design for about a year now, and have been really eager to release a game to get my name out there. But when I release a video game, I really want to do it right, even if it’s freeware, so I had an idea to release tiny little concepts and tech demos on sites like Gamejolt, in where the source code is included for free as well. The idea is the gamer has the ability to make the game they just played in their own voice. As well, admittedly, satisfying my want of releasing things before I’m ready for a full blown project XD
No, I don’t plan on doing that. I mean…I know the Asset Store has free stuff, so I guess I should consider it. If enough people like it I would be more than willing to submit it to Unity. But for now my only intention was to share the Unity package file with the community directly, for free, direct download only.
I was wondering when I posted this if this forum section is only for assets that are going to appear in the asset store. If so I guess I need to delete this thread. I’m not sure where I should post a free asset that isn’t for the asset store if this is the case though. I’d like to hear your thoughts, I wasn’t really sure what you were asking technically speaking. Thanks for taking a look at the page though!
I like the idea of the lighter model and script, and I do think you should submit it to the asset store so we know it has been vetted and is all legal to use and so forth.
I don’t think there is a lighter currently in the store, so yours would be the first.
Thank you for checking out the page! I hope you enjoy the asset! Good luck on finishing yours as well!
Hopeful, Interesting, I didn’t know that there wasn’t a lighter in the asset store! That’s good to know. I’ll consider it. I could clean up the code a little more, as of now the functionality where you die from the lighter going out doesn’t work, and I need to look at it more closely. Or just take it out. Also I could stand to find or make some better sound effects. I am a sound guy so if it’s going on the asset store I may as well make them myself.
If you’re worried about using it legally it is creative commons with commercial. It’s just like if you got it for free on the asset store. Although I’m just saying that on a forum, I made this to help people and practice my programming, as well as get my name out there, I don’t care about what people do with it in their own projects. But I understand if you like the safety of legit retailers, so again, I’ll consider the asset store for my future projects, but I honestly wasn’t planning on it at all. Am really going to have to think if I want to go that route but you may very well be right it would be awesome.
Thanks for the input guys, sorry I ranted at you XD
Talk to you later
You have a very valid point! Also one of the whole reasons I’m doing this is to try to get my name out there, and having a presence on the asset store would be a great way to promote my Facebook page and YouTube channel. I never put any thought into this at all, but it’s sounding really, really good. Thanks so much for the idea! I’ll update the thread accordingly.
